On March 20th of the seventh year of Hengsheng, the three armies of Meng Gong, Zhao Fan, and Yu Jie met in Kaifeng, and the entire Kaifeng was surrounded by the Song Army.
Facing the surging Song army, Wanyan Shouxu stood on the top of the city and was so frightened that he lost his mind. He ignored the clan's objections and directly sent envoys to discuss surrender matters.
Yes, Wanyan Shouxu saw that he couldn't run away and couldn't fight, so he directly chose to surrender.
When the envoy saw Meng Gong, he said: "Dear Marshal of the Song Dynasty, our Lord Lang is willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty and offer the entire Jin Kingdom with both hands. I only ask that your country can grant Lord Lang a road as a fiefdom. Please also ask the Marshal.
Able to accept it.”
Meng Gong's expression was as calm as usual, without any emotional changes.
Seeing this, the envoy couldn't help but feel nervous, so he added: "If the commander feels that one road is too many, we can still discuss it, and three states are also acceptable."
"Hahaha,,,"
Meng Gong then laughed loudly. After laughing, Meng Gong said: "My Northern Expedition in the Song Dynasty was to regain my homeland and to avenge Jingkang's humiliation. Do you think we need your master to surrender?"
The messenger looked surprised, but it seemed that the answer was reasonable.
Meng Gong waved his hand to signal the envoy to leave, and then Meng Gong ordered his people to beat drums and prepare to attack the city.
Meng Gong said to the generals: "After the city is broken, all the queens, concubines, and princesses of the Jin Kingdom are sent to Lin'an and handed over to the officials to be judged by themselves. The remaining Jin women can be taken by the soldiers themselves. All Jin men are not allowed to do so."
Ask old and young, slaughter."
"Yes, Marshal."
All the generals were excited and took orders together.
Meng Gong's order was quickly conveyed, and the soldiers howled with excitement.
Immediately, the army attacked the city. The offensive was so fast that the Jin soldiers on the city could not support it. One after another Song soldiers climbed up the city, killing the Jin soldiers and retreating steadily.
Immediately, the army entered the city and launched a vigorous sweep. The usually aloof Jin people were reduced to lambs to be slaughtered. The Song army was not polite at all and carried out the orders issued by Meng Gong to the letter.
Time was like rivers of blood and mourning all over the land.
As for the Han people in the city, when they saw the Song army, they all identified themselves and shouted that they were Han people. These people will be detained and guarded. After the war, their identities will be identified and they will be released. If there are Jin people pretending to be Han people, they will naturally
Death is inevitable.
Liu Yi led the team to enter the Jin Kingdom Palace first, searching everywhere for traces of Wanyan Shouxu.
Not to be outdone, Zhao Kui also led his team into the palace.
Soon, Wanyan Shouxu was found hiding in a eunuch's duty room, his crotch even wet.
The reason why this guy's identity was exposed was because although he was wearing eunuch's clothes, he looked like he was drunk and drunk at first glance. Moreover, he didn't change all his clothes. He still had a brocade middle coat underneath. This kind of fabric was the eunuch's.
Wearing it? Only if you don't get found out is there a ghost.
Liu Yi found the palace maid and confirmed the identity of Wanyan Shouxu. She was extremely excited. This was a real achievement in capturing the Emperor of Jin alive.
Liu Yi grabbed Wanyan Shouxu and was about to report the good news to Meng Gong. Unfortunately, Zhao Kui also entered the room. Seeing Liu Yi catching Wanyan Shouxu, he was naturally itchy, so he went to snatch it.
Liu Yi was furious and said: "General Zhao, what do you mean?"
Zhao Kui said: "The commander-in-chief has ordered me, a man from the Kingdom of Jin, to slaughter this golden dog. If you don't want to kill it, then of course I will kill it."
"you."
Liu Yi couldn't say anything after being contradicted by him, and finally said: "He is the emperor of the Jin Kingdom. I caught him first. I want to catch him and punish him in front of the commander."
"I don't care who caught you, it's not yours until it's dead."
Zhao Kui was so determined that he wanted to take the credit. How could Liu Yi let him go? In the end, the two of them couldn't argue. There was no other way. Liu Yi became fierce and said: "Then half will be given to each person."
"Half is half."
After saying that, Liu Yi and Zhao Kui swung their swords together and slashed directly at Wanyan Shouxu's waist, cutting Wanyan Shouxu in half.
"snort."
Liu Yi snorted coldly, hugged the upper half of Wanyan Shouxu's body and walked away angrily. Zhao Kui hugged the lower half of Wanyan Shouxu's body, whistled, and went back to life proudly.
When the two came to Meng Gong, Liu Yi told the story unconvinced, while Zhao Kui insisted that he was resolutely carrying out Meng Gong's orders and could not be regarded as taking credit.
"snort."
Before Meng Gong could say anything, Zhao Fan snorted hard at Zhao Kui and cursed: "Zhao Kui, Liu Yi and you are the best. Since he discovered Wanyan Shouxu first, how can you snatch it away? You still have the dignity to do so.
Do you want it anymore?"
Zhao Kui looked aggrieved and said: "Brother, I was afraid that Wanyan Shouxu would run away, so I had to kill him. If Liu Yi kills him first, then I don't have to worry."
"shut up."
Zhao Fan's face turned red with anger, then he turned around and apologized to Liu Yi, saying: "General Liu, my brother is negligent in discipline. It's my fault. I'm here to apologize to you. This credit belongs to you. I will keep it all in mind."
No one can rob you of your name, so you can rest assured."
Although Liu Yi said Zhao Fan was polite, half of Wanyan Shouxu's body was still in Zhao Kui's hands. Zhao Fan didn't return it even after talking for a long time. Liu Yi could only say helplessly: "General Zhao Kui cannot be blamed for this.
If I had killed Wanyan Shouxu directly, this wouldn't have happened."
Seeing them like this, Meng Gong could only say to Liu Yi and Zhao Kui: "Since you two killed Wanyan Shouxu together, then you two should share the credit."
"yes."
Zhao Kui and Liu Yi both said yes.
After Meng Gong and Liu Yi left, Zhao Fan showed a smile on his serious face. He said to Zhao Kui: "You did a good job. With this credit, plus the previous ones, you can earn a fortune for our Zhao family."
The title of Duke."
Zhao Kui got a long-term meal ticket that will last forever, and he was so happy that he laughed.
The Jin people in Kaifeng City were quickly eliminated. Afterwards, Meng Gong commanded the army to march to various places and recovered all other states and counties. At this point, the Northern Expedition achieved an unprecedented victory.
Lin'an, Imperial Palace, Funing Hall.
Zhao Yun looked at Meng Gong's victory document, and then the tight rope in his heart loosened.
Then Zhao Yun picked up his pen and wrote Yubi. On it were the four characters "Return to Bianjing".
This was an extremely important decision, because the imperial center was moved to Bianjing again, that is, Kaifeng, which meant that the spatial distance between the Song center and Mongolia was closer, and the risk factor was greater.
But Zhao Yun had to do this, because the emperor should guard the country's gates, so that he can always warn everyone that there is a sword hanging over his head.
After Zhao Yun finished writing, he stood up slowly and came to the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky with a confident smile on his face.
The Song Dynasty had ambitions and everyone was united, so what was there to fear?
