Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

"Yes, envoy, please help me a lot." Another general who was following said.

The general who had just blocked the envoy of the King of Guanzhong was not sent out to see him off. After all, the relationship between the two parties was not very good.

"Hahaha! Two generals, how about I give you a fortune?" the envoy of the King of Guanzhong suddenly said.

As soon as these words came out, the two generals were stunned. This is Lin'an Mansion. You, what do you mean by this?
"The envoy was joking. Please put in a good word for our court. It would be nice if you could delay it for a while." A military general wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"You two are just like boating on the river. Your boat is about to sink. Now a new big boat is sailing in front of you. Why don't the two generals get on the boat?" the envoy of the King of Guanzhong said.

The Southern Song Dynasty was observing him, and he was also observing some military generals of the Southern Song Dynasty. He can clearly see who treats him badly and who treats him politely.

The emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was, to put it bluntly, just a weakling. He had no opinions of his own and was simply extremely afraid. If the ministers said one thing, he would do another.

How can such a person be compared with the King of Guanzhong! And these two generals came to see him off. His attitude was very kind, and he was very polite to him and even slightly flattering to him in the previous meetings, so he asked this question.

"Messenger! You'd better get out of the city quickly! Don't say anything else."

"Two generals, take this token." The messenger smiled and said.

He had already seen that these two people and even most of the generals and civil servants in the city were unwilling to fight anymore.

The two of them sent the envoy of the King of Guanzhong out of the city together, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alas! It's such a troubled time now! Do we, do we really want to do this?" One of the generals said after sending the people away.

"Brother Liu! You shouldn't have any other ideas, right?"

"Brother Wang, you are worrying too much! Wealth can be found in danger."

"Hahaha! That's good. Let's go and report back to the officials!"

At this time, Zhang Yong was also receiving his envoy in the Guanzhong Army camp.

"Reporting to the prince, this is what happened. The kings and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty are all uncertain now, but the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty wants to surrender, and so do most of the civil and military ministers in the court."

"Haha! To put it bluntly, these guys still have some illusions, hoping that reinforcements will come from the south, or that there will be some good news in the Mongolian grasslands. But unfortunately, they have no chance in the Mongolian grasslands, even The Mongolian grasslands will also beat them," Zhang Yong said with a smile.

You actually want to delay time. Is there something wrong? There is no point in delaying time.

The demise of the Southern Song Dynasty has become a foregone conclusion. When Xiangyang was conquered by himself, even this ending was already doomed.

Xiangyang City is the most critical place in this battle. The decisive battle in Ezhou City is not as critical as Xiangyang City.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty want to buy time, but our food and grass cannot be consumed by them. Should we launch an attack immediately?" a Guanzhong general asked.

"Yes! My lord, now is a good time to attack,"

"Haha! I will give them three more days to think about how to stop everyone in the world. In the morning after three days, if we don't see the enemy surrendering in Kaicheng, then we will launch an attack." Zhang Yong said decisively. said.

"Yes! Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will prepare for war right away. If they don't surrender in three days, we will definitely capture Lin'an Prefecture." A large group of people, including generals from Guanzhong, generals from Sichuan and Sichuan, generals from the Central Plains region, and generals from Hebei, Thousands of households in Mongolia knelt on the ground together and spoke.

Time passed by slowly. The Guanzhong camp outside the city is brightly lit every day.

However, the dispute over the imperial palace in Lin'an Prefecture became a quarrel.

Zhao Yun, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, held court meetings many times, and all the ministers could not unify their opinions. Some firmly believed that they should resist to the end, while others believed that. You should surrender voluntarily.

Think of voluntarily surrendering! If they refuse to surrender, they will harm all the people in the city and all the officers and soldiers.

If you surrender, at least the lives of the people in the city and ordinary soldiers can be saved, and the lives of the officials and theirs can also be preserved.

The faction that is unwilling to surrender always believes that the Song Dynasty, which has been established for more than 300 years, should not be destroyed in their hands. Moreover, who in the world does not know what happened to the last monarch?
Only rebellious ministers and traitors would persuade their monarch to surrender to the enemy.

"If we surrender, then the Song Dynasty will be finished. The King of Guanzhong will definitely kill the emperor."

"The King of Guanzhong has always been benevolent, how could he kill innocent people indiscriminately? The people of the Central Plains, the people of Shandong, the people of Hebei, and the lands captured by the King of Guanzhong, where have the people been massacred?"

"Ordinary people are ordinary people, but the emperor is the emperor, and the emperor has the majesty of the emperor. He should not surrender like this."

"I think you are the rebellious officials and traitors. You want to take the lives of all the people in the city, as well as all the soldiers and officials, to be buried with you."

"As you said, the King of Guanzhong has always been kind to the people. If this is the case, let him attack. If the city is captured, the people will be fine."

"You! An official should love his people as his own children, how dare you say such nonsense?"

"Bah, what do you mean by loving the people like your own children? My lords, do you always love the people? In my opinion, you just want to survive in front of the Guanzhong army."

"Guan family, Guan family, please say something." Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and no one could convince the other. In the end, they could only throw this issue to the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

"Alas! My dear friends! I don't know what to do. I don't want to harm the lives of the people in the city. It's not a big deal in front of the king of subjugation. It's just a pain for me. But if the Guanzhong army doesn't keep its word, .

Ordinary soldiers saw that Lin'an City was extremely prosperous and entered the city to start looting. What should they do? "Zhao Yun said.

"Your Majesty! The Guanzhong army has always had strict military discipline. They are not the Jin army, nor the Liao army, nor the brutal Mongolian army. They are a different group of Guanzhong armies. Most of them are poor people, and they are all from us. A descendant of the Han family.”

"Even the King of Guanzhong came all the way and surrendered many soldiers and officials of the Song Dynasty. As long as you go out of the city and surrender, you will definitely be able to avoid the killing."

After hearing what the courtiers said, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yun, was obviously hesitant and wanted to go out and surrender directly.

"Guan Jia, please don't hesitate any more, today is the deadline."

"Hmph. If the King of Guanzhong is really willing to extend his grace for a while, then he will definitely not attack today. If he attacks Lin'an Mansion today, it will prove that the King of Guanzhong has never thought of reconciling with us."

Just when everyone was arguing in the court hall, two generals gathered together on one side of the city gate of Lin'an Mansion. Beside them stood an assassin in white robes.

"You two, the King of Guanzhong promises you that after entering the city, your family members will never be harmed, and you can also serve as generals and be effective in the army. You just need to go to Guanzhong Academy to learn my new tactics in Guanzhong." The assassin said. said.

On the same day, after the Guanzhong envoy returned to camp, he disclosed some information to Guanzhong King Zhang Yong, which stated that several generals wanted to surrender. So Zhang Yong immediately thought of a way.

An envoy was sent to climb up the city wall at night and met two generals who wanted to surrender. After promising many benefits and promises, the two Southern Song generals finally relented and agreed. Kaesong surrendered.

"Envoy, after the two of us saw the army of King Guanzhong coming, we opened the city gate and welcomed the army of King Guanzhong into the city." A general said.

"Okay!" The assassin nodded and took out a firework from his arms, lit it and fired it.

Soon, there was a cry of killing outside the city, and the Guanzhong army turned around and attacked the five city gates at the same time.

At this time, the three-day deadline had passed. Zhang Yong no longer had any scruples and ordered a general attack by the entire army. He also attacked all the city gates of Lin'an Prefecture in the Southern Song Dynasty and launched heavy artillery and other weapons.

Boom! Boom!
The sound sounded! This city, which had not experienced the baptism of war for hundreds of years, finally heard the sound of artillery fire and the sound of gunpowder smoke!
The two generals surnamed Liu and Wang looked at each other, sighed, and finally ordered their soldiers to completely open the northwest gate.

There is no way, no one wants to die, they also do it for their wives, children and children at home.

As the city gate was opened, the Guanzhong army outside the city immediately launched an attack. Brigades of Guanzhong soldiers poured in from the city wall and rushed into Lin'an Mansion.

Then, with the help of the two generals, they quickly controlled the entire city gate, and then more Guanzhong troops began to pour into the city. "Kill! Kill!" The earth-shattering cry of killing suddenly rang out, and the defenders of several other city gates were caught off guard.

At the same time, at the city gate in the northeast, the city gate opened on its own just as the Guanzhong army led their troops to attack the city.

The general responsible for guarding the city gate came directly to the Guanzhong army with an official seal and asked to surrender.

"Generals, if a certain family is willing to surrender, I would like to offer the city gate."

"Hahaha! Okay, if you surrender voluntarily, the King of Guanzhong will definitely not treat you badly, right? Take your army out of the city first and hand over all the gates and houses to us." The leading general smiled and said.

This battle looked to be much easier to fight than they thought.

"Brothers rush into the city and take Lin'an Mansion today."

"Destroy the Song Dynasty! Destroy the Song Dynasty!"

"Kill, kill, enter Lin'an Mansion and destroy the Song Dynasty."

"What's going on? Why is the gate on the northwest side open? Who is the guard there?" the general in charge of the defense of another city wall said.

"Report to the general. It was defended by General Liu and General Wang. They opened the city gate and let the Guanzhong army enter the city." A messenger ran over and said with a look of horror.

"What? This gang, this gang of rebellious officials and thieves. They actually dared to open the city gate and let the enemy troops into the city." The guard guarding the north gate was shocked and angry.

However, bad news came one after another. The guard on the northeast side of the city gate opened the city gate without any warning and surrendered to the Guanzhong army.

Two city gates in a row were lost, and the other city gates had no meaning at all. Because large numbers of troops are constantly pouring into the city gate, they will soon be surrounded by the enemy.

After all, the number of the Guanzhong army is more than 200,000, and the forbidden troops in their city are only tens of thousands. The remaining soldiers are temporarily recruited civilians or reserves.

"Everyone who kneels down and surrenders will not be killed, and anyone who kneels down and surrenders will not be killed." The Guanzhong army shouted loudly as they advanced.

"All people stay at home and are not allowed to go out. All people stay at home and are not allowed to go out."

With the shield soldiers in front and the musketeers behind, the cavalry led the troops and began to run through the streets.

After the city gate was broken. The military generals of the Southern Song Dynasty did organize people to seize the Huicheng Gate, but they all ended in failure. In the afternoon of that day, all the outer city gates of Lin'an Prefecture had fallen, and the Guanzhong army completely occupied the outer city.

Starting from several city gates, that night, the army arrived at the inner wall of Lin'an Mansion in the inner city. The city wall was extremely high and was heavily guarded at this time.

The fierce fighting lasted for a whole day and night. All the resistance forces in the entire outer city were eliminated, leaving only a lonely imperial city still resisting.

At noon on the second day after conquering the outer city of Lin'an, Zhang Yong led his men into Lin'an Mansion, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although soldiers have been ordered to protect the people, there are still many corpses on the streets. There were soldiers from the Southern Song Dynasty, soldiers from the Guanzhong army, and some ordinary people.

Even though Zhang Yong had been careful, casualties could not be avoided. After the Guanzhong army was dispatched, it still caused a large number of casualties. In Lin'an Mansion, it was not uncommon for ordinary people to be killed accidentally.

"Your Majesty, brothers don't want to kill the people. It's just that some people went to the streets and picked up hoes and other things to attack our army, and that's why they were killed." Seeing Zhang Yong's face looking a little unhappy, Shi Tianze immediately said.

The king of Guanzhong is indeed very kind. Especially for ordinary people, but sometimes some casualties are unavoidable. After all, the Southern Song Dynasty had been established here for more than a hundred years, and the local people still supported the Song Dynasty. In this case, if they attack the city, many people will indeed resist.

In this case, if their soldiers don't take action, are they waiting to be killed by these people?

"If the people take to the streets to resist and are killed by our troops, I will not blame them, but all soldiers are not allowed to break into residents' homes." Zhang Yong said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the army has strict military discipline and will never break into people's homes without permission."

"Well! Let's go! Let's send this dynasty to its final moments."

"Your Majesty! How can you go to the battlefield in the inner city with a body of ten thousand gold? You should know that swords are ruthless, so you should stay behind and wait for our good news. Now the inner city has been besieged, and we will be there in at least two days. Break it," Guo Kan said.

"Yes, Master Imperial Master! Just stay outside! Let us attack the imperial palace of the imperial ministers. Don't worry, my lord, we will never escape the emperor of the Song Dynasty." Cha Tuohua said.

"No, I will personally command this battle. If the emperor of the Song Dynasty surrenders to me on his own initiative, then I will let him go. But since he is unwilling to surrender, then I will fulfill the promise I made twenty years ago." Zhang Yong said decisively.

After Zhang Yong finished speaking, he no longer gave his generals any chance to persuade, and rode towards the front line of the inner city. Soon after the Guanzhong army attacking the inner city saw his prince, their morale was immediately boosted.

"Brothers, the prince is watching us!"

"Brothers, kill! We will capture the palace tonight."

"Kill! Kill!"

The fierce battle started again, and the Guanzhong army pushed in the heavy artillery. Six heavy artillery pieces blasted the city gate of Lin'an Mansion indiscriminately.

After four rounds of volleys, the city gate finally could no longer hold up, and the inner city gate was breached.

The Guanzhong army also entered the city, while the remaining Mongolian cavalry left the inner city and headed towards the outer city to prevent anyone from escaping out of the city.

"Quick, quick, put some black ash on my face, and bring over some shabby eunuch clothes.

Give all the princesses and the concubines in the harem a piece of maid's clothing, and then ask them to take off all the gold and silver jewelry. Don't take it with you, don't let the bandit army discover it. "Zhao Yun said.

He really didn't expect that the King of Guanzhong would fight at his will without giving him any chance. He launched an attack as soon as the three days were up, and the two city gates on his side surrendered directly.

When the bandits attacked the inner city, he was scared to death. Now he had no choice but to run away.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself! I, I will go get your horse." The old eunuch said with a tearful face.

"Don't call me emperor, all of you, listen, my current name is Xiao Zhaozi, I am not an emperor, just a eunuch." Zhao Yun said.

This time, as long as he can run out, the property he brings with him will be enough to keep him prosperous and wealthy for the rest of his life.

From now on, I will live anonymously among the people, live my next life comfortably, and never dream of being an emperor again.

"Your Majesty, woo! woo!"

"You, don't waste time, quickly find a middle-aged eunuch who is about the same age as me, ask him to change into a dragon robe, and then sit in the main hall." Zhao Yun said.

If he ran away, he would have to find a substitute.

"Ah, help! The thieves are coming. The thieves are coming."

Countless maids and eunuchs from the Southern Song Dynasty were running in all directions, shouting for help.

"All the maids and eunuchs kneel on the ground. Kneel down and you will not die. Kneel down and you will not die." The leading Guanzhong general rushed over with a large number of soldiers, shouting as he rushed.

"General, don't kill us, don't kill us, we just kneel down." Countless palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground together.

"The King of the East has an order not to kill anyone who kneels on the ground." (End of Chapter)
