Chapter 301 Dayuan is dead

In the Liaoyang Governor's Mansion, Ai Yahachi held a banquet in honor of Xue Cheqian. Because of the tense war, there were not many generals to accompany him.

After having two glasses of wine to express his intention, Aiyahachi turned to the topic and said: "Last night there was a fierce battle, and all the outer defense lines of Nancheng changed hands. If the Song army comes to attack again, I'm afraid the city wall will not be protected."

"Is the Song Army really that powerful?" Xue Cheqian asked.

Ai Yahachi replied: "It is indeed powerful, but it does not mean that it cannot be defended. The main reason is that the number of defenders is insufficient, so they are passive everywhere."

Xue Cheqian patted his chest and said, "The little king is here to support the defense of the city. If there are any orders, he will obey them."

Aiyahachi said: "I hope the prince will send 3000 people to follow General Hong's arrangements. No matter what, we must ensure that the southern wall is not lost."

"There's no problem, it's just..." Xue Cheqian glanced at the door and lowered his voice and said, "That fellow from Hong Chaqiu defected to the Song Dynasty. I'm afraid that Hong Wan..."

"Prince, there is no need to worry." Ai Yahachi said: "After days of fierce fighting, fortunately General Hong worked hard and insisted on the arrival of the prince. Eighty percent of his troops have been lost. He is absolutely loyal and reliable."

"The marshal said so, and Xiao Wang just let it be arranged." Xue Cheqian put down his wine glass and continued: "The military situation is so strong that there is no time to delay. Let's go and inspect the soldiers now to help defend the city."

"The prince understands the righteousness, I admire him!" Ai Yahachi praised him, then canceled the banquet and reorganized the troops.

When they first arrived, no one knew anyone. Hong Wan did not dare to completely disrupt Xue Che's cadres and only asked them to defend the North City. The troops originally intended for the North City were transferred to the South City and added 1000 people to the east and west sides.

A total of 8000 Xue Chegan were employed, and 1 people were stationed in the city to rest as a reserve force.

Xue Cheqian cooperated with all his strength and completed the defense change when the sky was about to turn dark.

With such success, Hong Wan couldn't help but sigh: "If all the kings in the world are like the father and son of the king of Lingbei, why worry about the invasion of Song Dynasty?"

Ai Yahachi nodded in agreement and said: "Lingbei Prince and his son understand the righteousness, which is rare."

"It's just a matter of duty." Xue Chegan was as humble as ever.

Ai Yahachi and Hong Wan naturally praised him again. Anyway, good words cost nothing. As long as they can defend Liaoyang, they can lick Xue Chegan no matter how much they want.

Seeing that Xue Cheqian had organized the defense in an orderly manner, placed his troops at key points, and personally supervised the battle, Ai Yahachi and others returned to the city with confidence, preparing to face the Song army's night attack.

According to experience since the beginning of the war, the Song army always attacked in the middle of the night when men and horses were exhausted, so all Yuan armies went to bed early and at the same time, they never left their arms.

He just slept until dawn, but the Song army did not attack.

"Perhaps Lu Wu was afraid when he saw reinforcements entering the city." Ai Yahachi concluded.

Hong Wan said: "Lu Wu is brave and belligerent, but I am not afraid. Maybe I will make a new plan."

"No matter what, Xue Cheqian deserves the first credit." Aiyahachi said.

Hong Wan also agreed, and then discussed how to adjust Xue Che's cadres to facilitate command.

"It can't be broken up, lest people think that the imperial court wants to annex the kings and tribes." Ai Yahachi thought for a while and said: "Each thousand-man team will send an adjutant to pass on the orders and also serve as a supervisor."

Of course, what Xue Cheqian said is that communication is communicated internally and externally, with no intention of supervision.

"The marshal makes whatever arrangements he wants. As long as it is conducive to the war, Xiao Wang has nothing to do with it." Xue Cheqian's attitude satisfied Ai Yahachi.

After some adjustments, another day passed, and Hong Wan continued to be on guard.

Just at the second watch ([-] o'clock), the Song army suddenly launched an attack.

Although they once reached the city, under Hong Wan's calm command, there was no danger.

Just when Hong Wan breathed a sigh of relief, he heard loud gunshots in the city, and at the same time there were people shouting in panic: "The Song Army has entered the city~ The Song Army has entered the city~" Hong Wan was about to send someone to investigate the situation, and Ai Yahachi sent someone to inform: " Xue Chegan killed all the supervisors and opened the city gate to let the Song army enter the city!"

"How dare he...how could he..." Hong Wan was furious.

Ordinary Mongolian generals can of course defect to the Song Dynasty. For example, Zhao Cunzhong is now the chief general and can lead the army to attack Shenzhou, but what can the Mongolian clan king gain by defecting to the Song Dynasty?
It is impossible to continue to be a king and stand up to an old marquis.

Besides, Naiman and Naiyan have never dealt with each other, and Naiyan relied on the Song Dynasty to be so difficult to deal with. Naiman and Naiyan surrendered to the Song Dynasty, which was like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

Before Hong Wan could figure it out, Ai Yahachi had already ran over and shouted: "General Hong, Xue Che's cadres have rebelled. Key points in the city have been occupied. Liaoyang is no longer defensible. Quickly gather troops and go to Shenzhou. "

Hong Wan came back to his senses and said: "Marshal, go to Shenzhou quickly. Naiman and his colleagues will serve as the internal response of Song Dynasty."

"Bitch thief, the Great Khan is so trusting in vain." Ai Yahachi cursed and said: "General, come with me quickly."

Hong Wan replied: "The marshal will leave first, and the young general will follow. We must pass the news to Shenzhou."

The matter was urgent, and Aiyahachi was not an indecisive person. He bowed his hands and said solemnly, left the city through the west gate, turned around and headed straight for Shenzhou.

In the early Liao Dynasty, Yelu Abao moved the Northeast Han people to Shenzhou to build a city and reclaim land. Today, Shenzhou is the second largest granary in Liaodong, and after construction, it has become a military center to resist the Sihan Road. Once lost, Liaodong will It was no longer possible to resist the Song army.

Therefore, Aiyahachi knew that the Song army might set up an ambush, but still chose a straight line, fearing that the night would be long and the dreams would be many.

Just after running thirty miles away, there was a burst of gunfire, and most of the hundreds of guards fell off their horses.

The gunfire stopped for a while, and a large group of Song Army cavalry surrounded them.

"Brothers, follow me..."

Ai Yahachi didn't say anything, suddenly his mount bounced up and he fell to the ground with a thump, he himself fell into a coma, when he got up, Song Bing had already thrown out a fishing net to scratch the hook and wrapped him into a rice dumpling.

Not to mention desperate efforts, even suicide, members of the dignified clan and the Golden Family were captured alive like this.

Just when Aiyahachi was being escorted back to the city, Hong Wan was already blocked in a small courtyard. This was the only place in Liaoyang City that was still resisting.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Xue Cheqian didn't want to miss the opportunity to show off, so he asked for an order to surrender, and Lu Wu had no choice but to do it.

Xue Cheqian stepped forward and shouted: "General Hong, the Yuan Dynasty is no longer good. This world belongs to the Song Dynasty after all.

You see, in the southern battlefield, the Yuan army suffered repeated defeats. In the north, Shangdu was burned down. Now, Kublai Khan can no longer turn things around.

He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Doesn't the general have his own plans?And the reunion of father and son after returning to the Song Dynasty is really a beautiful thing in human relations. "

"Dog thieves." Hong Wan scolded: "Your Majesty trusts you so much and is so kind to you. Is this how you and your son repay God's kindness? I, Hong Wan, are ashamed to associate with such dog thieves!"

"If Kublai Khan believed in my father and son, wouldn't he be awarded the title of king of the East?" Xue Cheqian sneered.

"Can the Song Dynasty give you father and son?" Hong Wan asked back.

Xue Cheqian replied: "Although you can't be the leader of the kings of the East, you can go to the Japanese country to establish a country. Isn't it better than the bitter and cold land in the north?"

The father and son of Naiman were instigated to rebel. In addition to ensuring that their original territory and power would not be invaded by Naiyan, they also had the Japanese fiefdom.

The Japanese country is a remote and poor country, but compared to the northern grasslands, it is really rich. Going to the Japanese country to be a marquis will definitely be more comfortable than the king of the grassland.

The most important thing is that Xanadu was burned down. The Naiman belt really saw the weakness of the Yuan Kingdom, so they decided to surrender to the Song Dynasty.
