The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 755 Yong Character Banner of Yongshun Mansion

"General, you are a loyal minister, brothers admire you!"

"But following you as a loyal minister, the brothers will not be able to survive, so... the big guy has nothing to do!"

In the lobby, Lu Liqing looked at the beheaded soldiers on the ground, and then glanced at the people who poured into the lobby.

That's right, after being trapped in Yongshun Mansion for 20 days, he was rebuked by his subordinates.

But even so, Lu Liqing still did not give up in the face of the hall full of swords and swords.

"Everyone, you are ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty, why do you want to rebel against the bandits?
"Although the Yong army is strong, it cannot be supported by a single tree. Although the imperial court is defeated, it has half of the country in the south. There are many soldiers and enough food. They will surely be able to kill the rebels of King Yong!"

No matter how much Lu Liqing said, the expressions of the people in the lobby remained unchanged.

One of them immediately replied: "General, don't you know that the capital is broken, the court is destroyed, and the emperor is dead?"

Of course, Lu Liqing knew about these rumors. In order not to affect the morale of the defenders in the city, Lu Liqing strictly controlled these rumors.

As long as someone is found to spread it, they will be severely punished.

"It's a rumor!" Lu Liqing said in a deep voice.

Unexpectedly, thousands of households in the hall said coldly: "My lord, no matter what you say, the brothers have surrendered now. If you don't want the brothers to be violent, then go out of the city with us!"

At this time, the debate is actually nonsense, and this Qianhu doesn't want to waste time.

"Give me a knife and let me finish it myself!"

Hearing this, everyone at the scene was moved, and they admired Lu Liqing's utter loyalty even more.

"General, the imperial envoy of the imperial court said that His Highness King Yong did not harm your family, as long as you are willing to surrender... His Highness will not make things difficult for you!"

Although these people under him turned against each other, they still hoped that the matter could be resolved satisfactorily, at least they didn't want Lu Liqing to die.

Hearing these words, Lu Liqing smiled.

"You are right. Now that the overall situation has been settled, it is this official who is going against the sky and obstructing the general situation!"

"Lu received the grace of the country in his life, and led the army to suppress the bandits, but was defeated repeatedly. What face is there to live in the world!"

At this time, someone said: "General, it is better to die than to live. Compared with other people...you are worthy of the court!"

"Yes, General!"

"General, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your family!"

"If you decide to do it yourself, your Highness's face will be offended, and then... I'm afraid you will kill your clansmen!"

The scene right now was very strange. The people admonishing them persuaded Lu Liqing to live, and the two said that they were in opposition, but it didn't seem to be true.

The reason why these people were so persuasive was that apart from their admiration for Lu Liqing, they were also worried that Lu Liqing's death would lead to accidents.

After being repeatedly persuaded by the crowd, Lu Liqing, who already had the will to die, was a little shaken for a while.

Half an hour later, in a daze, Lu Liqing was coerced by his subordinates and opened the south gate of Yongshun Mansion.

All the military officers at the rank of a thousand households surrounded Lu Liqing after disarming, and walked out of the main gate of Yongshun Mansion.

At this moment, outside the city gate, the cavalry of the Yong army stood silently.

With only one cavalry, the [-] troops in the city could not move, and could only hold on to the end.

The remaining cavalry was Commander Xu Hong's fourth guard.

Next to Xu Hong, there was another official from the Ministry of War, who was here to deliver the decree on behalf of the imperial court.

It's a pity that he couldn't get in for four days, and it was only today with Xu Hong's help that he made the city give up resistance and leave the city.

A group of officers walked across the suspension bridge and came to Xu Hong and his horses.

Looking at everyone coldly, Xu Hong let out a cold snort.

Being held back by these people made Xu Hong unable to participate in the final decisive battle, and this was missing from the credit book.

This alone made Xu Hong feel bad about these people.

Fortunately, the military officials on the side were "imperial envoys" who represented Zhao Yanxun's will, which made Xu Hong suppress his anger.

"Everyone, Your Highness orders, you kneel down and listen!"

Now that they have chosen to surrender, everyone will naturally not object to kneeling and listening to the imperial edict.

After everyone knelt down, the "imperial envoy" read aloud.

The content of this edict is similar to that of Beijiang Mansion. As long as these people choose to surrender, they must accept the adaptation.

After reading the imperial edict, the official of the Ministry of War said in a deep voice: "Everyone, you can lead your troops out of the city one after another!"

"Wait a minute!"

These two words were said by Xu Hong, which made the hearts of the returning crowd tense, thinking that Xu Hong was out to "seek vengeance" for revenge.

Of course Xu Hong didn't have the guts. As Zhao Yanxun said in the imperial edict, these people would be his own people after surrendering, so how could he dare to do anything to his own people.

The military officer on the side immediately asked, "I don't know what Commander Xu has taught you?"

"Since it has surrendered, the flag of the false emperor on the tower should be taken down first, and the dragon flag of the prince should be hung up!"

After saying this, without waiting for others to agree, Xu Hong waved behind him.

A dozen or so soldiers came forward carrying a large flag, passed the crowd and walked straight to the gate of the city.

Entering the city gate, under the watchful eyes of the defenders in the city, these soldiers came to the tower, threw the dragon flag representing the imperial court down the tower, and then set up Zhao Yanxun's flag.

Looking at the King Yong's banner in the distance, Xu Hong smiled and said, "That's right!"

This scene made everyone on the scene feel uncomfortable. Although they felt aggrieved, they could only bear it.

"Now, let your subordinates withdraw from the city and accept the adaptation!"

Including people from Yongshun Mansion, Zhao Yanxun accepted more than 10 guards.

To use these people, it is necessary to disrupt the original establishment and bring together people from different guards.

Not only the soldiers, but also the upper and lower officers must also be disrupted so that they cannot be connected with each other.

This will lead to a decrease in combat effectiveness, but Zhao Yanxun didn't intend to use these troops as the main force, he just needed them to occupy the place.

What's more, as long as the new training methods are used to train strictly, Zhao Yanxun believes that these troops will be reborn.

When the adaptation started outside Yongshun Mansion, someone was watching the situation in the direction of the city in a ditch three miles north of the city.

Seeing the King Yong's flag on the tower, this person knew that the situation was over, so he immediately rode his horse and left the hiding place.

After a day of concentrating, this person came to a mountain depression in the north of Yongshun Prefecture. Because there is no good field here, the government has not yet developed it.

"You mean, Lu Liqing surrendered too?"

In the thatched hut, Zhao Weilong looked at Yuan Zheng in disbelief.

This is the second bad news that Zhao Weilong learned today. The first bad news was the surrender of Beijiang Mansion.

These two places are Zhao Weilong's last hope, and now this last hope has also been shattered.

Yuan Zheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, we can still go to the south, where there are still imperial troops!"

This Yuan Zheng was Tongzhi, the commander of Longzhi Youwei. After Longzhi Youwei was beaten and disabled, Yuan Zheng took the remnants back to Gyeonggi to rest.

When Zhao Weilong fled the capital, he happened to be met by Yuan Zheng's Qin Wangjun, so he protected Zhao Weilong until now.

Originally, there were more than 1000 people under Yuan Zheng's subordinates, and many of them got scattered and fled along the way. Now only one hundred and ten people are left to protect Zhao Weilong.

In fact, fewer people are not all bad.

Although Zhao Yanxun announced that Zhao Weilong was dead, he never stopped searching for Zhao Weilong. The fact that there were fewer of them was not easy to be caught.

"It's useless, the general situation is gone!" Zhao Weilong closed his eyes, and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, he is panicked like a bereaved dog, his wealth and life are in danger, and whether he can escape to the south is a question mark.

What's more, expecting those people in the south to be loyal to him is better than expecting Zhao Yanxun to plead guilty and repent.

More importantly, even if those people in the south were willing to sacrifice their lives for allegiance, as long as the Yong army came, it would still be the result of defeat.

In other words, even in the most optimistic scenario, Zhao Weilong has no hope of a comeback.

"As long as the emperor is alive, there is a possibility of a comeback. The minister... will definitely protect the emperor!" Yuan Zheng said firmly, he is also a loyal minister.

Although Yuan Zheng spoke with enthusiasm, Zhao Weilong didn't want to talk anymore.

The high tension of fleeing for his life for several days, coupled with the continuous blow of today's bad news, has plunged him into endless despair.

Seeing the emperor like this, Yuan Zheng didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only leave the cottage with a sigh.

On the side, Empress Zhen Xianglian held her husband's hand, her eyes were full of helplessness and fear, as well as distress for Zhao Weilong.

"Lian'er, I'm... scared!"

"I'm really afraid. I've been afraid since the day I sat on the throne..."

This is the first time that Zhao Weilong has made his heart clear and revealed his inner cowardice.

At this moment, he has completely given up the so-called emperor's dignity.

Zhen Xianglian, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, held her husband's hand with both hands, and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, no matter how difficult it is, my concubine will accompany you!"

At this moment, the two of them are not emperors or empresses, but ordinary couples who support each other.
