Chapter 366 Heavenly Punishment

The Song army retreated.

The invincible Song army finally retreated after taking the initiative to lead the army in person.

The subjects of the Northern Han Dynasty were ecstatic. Although the battle was hard for the Song army, they defended even harder, especially Liu Jiyuan, whose prestige suddenly increased a lot, and they were already worried about how to kill Guo Wuwei.

Although fools all know that the reason why the Song Dynasty retreated was because it was afraid of the Khitan, it had nothing to do with them in the Northern Song Dynasty, but this did not prevent them from lying in themselves.

They hugged each other, kissed, got drunk, and sang and danced. This was the joy of the winners. The Northern Han Dynasty had a deep grudge with the Central Plains dynasty over the years.

Unfortunately, such happiness is destined to be short-lived and illusory for them.

Their wise and great new emperor issued an order that shocked them: no matter how much they lost in the war or how much they were left, they must hand over all their property except for leaving the necessary rations. Who dares to keep a piece of copper and kill the whole family?

He wanted to use this money to serve the Khitan father who came from afar.

In order to implement such an order, he made every resident of Jinyang City go up and open the door for Khitan fathers to search, including those handsome girls and young wives. If you are lucky to be attracted by Khitan fathers, then congratulations, you have got a chance to share the worries of the great emperor Liu Jiyuan and be loyal to the country.

The people of Northern Han are stupid. Are we not winners?

This is a big deal, Sun Yue defeated Cheng-Du Po Guang-zhou, it seems that he has not achieved this. What is the difference between this and the massacre of the city? They don’t understand. We fought hard to defend our country and finally defeated the powerful enemy of the Song Dynasty. What is the point?

No one knows what it would be like to stand on the high city wall at this time, while savoring the fine wine of victory and watching the chaos in the city. And what it would be like to see the tens of thousands of elite soldiers who had just won, watching their familiar families in the city be humiliated.

What was even more chilling was that these Khitan soldiers who came to "rescue" would not gradually decrease due to the passage of time. On the contrary, they would only increase. It was not easy for the Liao Dynasty to dispatch troops once, and there was no military pay. The income from war was robbed. The Song Dynasty definitely did not dare to provoke them easily. It would not be fun with the people of the Northern Han Dynasty. Can you let the Khitan father go for nothing?

This is their emperor.

This is the country they defended to the death.

The front door drives the tiger, and the back door enters the wolf.

Of course, the Northern Han people were not completely bloodless. The number one general Yang Ye quietly found Liu Jiyuan and suggested: "Your Majesty, the Khitans are greedy for five degrees. Relying on them, we will completely drain our Northern Han. It is not a solution to continue like this. Now these Khitan troops are loose and unprepared. Why don't you let me attack them tonight? I promise to win a great victory. You can get hundreds of thousands of war horses alone. Then we will take these war horses to the Song Dynasty. What do you think?"

Liu Jiyuan looked at him coldly, as if he didn't know this person. After a long time, he snorted coldly and left.

A minister dared to say such words. If Yang Ye had not been the largest general of the Northern Han Dynasty, Liu Jiyuan might have killed him immediately.

Indeed, Yang Ye's plan was beneficial to the people of Northern Han and to the nation and the country, but it was not good for Liu Jiyuan himself.

It is the task of the great scholars to benefit the world by harming themselves, not the emperor. Even if the Khitan father is really greedy and cruel, even if it is really not a long-term solution, so what? At least now, I am still the emperor.

Is there anything more important than this? The people of the Northern Han Dynasty? The national justice? What does it have to do with me?

Looking at Liu Jiyuan's back as he left, Yang Ye's heart also became cold.

On his arm, the old wound he had been shot through by a pair of arrows was vaguely hurting again. The wound could not stop shattering, and blood dyed his entire sleeves red along his arm.

He hates it!

But when Guo Wuwei appeared beside Yang Ye, he whispered: "What you want is what Mr. Sun asks you. We have arranged for more than half a year. We will take action at midnight. The arrow is on the string and we have to fire it. Where to go, please consider it."

Yang Ye suddenly turned around and looked confused when he heard this.

"My husband Sun, have you expected what happened today?"

"What Mr. Sun wants is never the Northern Han Dynasty. In fact, I have secretly buried countless explosives under Jinyang City. If the king of the north and south courtyards does not come and breaks the city, it is just a backhand. What others want is the Great Liao and Yan Yun. Do you really think that with the wisdom of Mr. Sun, you can't defeat you, the largest general of the Northern Han Dynasty? General Yang, if you want it, you will be cut off. Think about the four words "Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness". No matter how stupid and loyal you are, please have a measure."

Yang Ye was silent. After a long time, he looked down at the arrow wound on his arm, and whispered: "I, Yang Ye, will not be a traitor, but today my old injury recurs, and the Military Affairs Council will temporarily entrust it to Zhaoer for care."

Guo Wuwei smiled.

At midnight, the Khitan Army, who had been "tired" for a day, fell asleep deeply, as if they were still savoring the harvest today. Tomorrow, the people in the city would have to change their defenses with those outside the city. This is called sharing the rain and dew. Unfortunately, they can only play with the rest of us.

Thinking of this, everyone is still very beautiful.

The night is like gorgeous silk, the moon is bright, the cicadas are chirping, and everything is quiet. The crying sounds faintly come from the city, like a lullaby, which makes them sleep particularly sweetly.

Suddenly, a few loud rumblings woke them up from their dreams. The earth shook and the sky turned upside down. The Khitan soldiers quickly put on their clothes and went out to check, but they saw a scene that they would never forget for life.

Jinyang City collapsed.

No one knew what happened. At this moment, from their king of the North Court, Yelu Huzhen, to the trembling people of the Northern Han Dynasty, they were all confused.

People were shouting and horses were shocked, and the whole city of Jinyang was in chaos.

The surprise lasted for less than a moment, and the rumbling sound came from far and near. Every Khitan was as stupid as he lost his focal length, and stood in amazement, looking into the distance.

What they saw was...a river!?

The second largest tributary of the Yellow River, originally flowed quietly through the Fen River in Jinyang City, broke in such a beautiful night. You know, before this, God had rained for eighteen days.

God is also helping Song Jun.

The Khitans are really crazy now. Even if they are all elites of the entire Liao Dynasty, even if they are cruelly murdered hungry wolves, they don’t know what to do when facing the surging water dragons.

Without the obstacles of the city walls, the flood seemed to be an angry mad dragon, raging with sand and gravel, and rushed towards them with an unstoppable momentum.

A middle-aged man from Northern Han who had just lost everything, turned his back to the surging water dragon, and faced the dumbfounded Khitan army, excitedly grinned his mouth to his ears. He stretched out his hands high, with a big mouth, and screamed hysterically: "Heaven punishment!"
