Chapter 259: Young Heroes

"First, open the city gate and remove the door panel. All the Liao soldiers left the city and received surrender and handed over all their arms."

"Secondly, all officials left the city and were surrendered."

"Third, there must be no weapons, sharp weapons, bows, arrows and armor in the Dading Mansion. All weapons must be handed over to the Northern Army. Anyone who holds them privately will die."

"Fourth, I can't massacre the city, but when my army enters the city, as long as I am attacked, I will immediately take the most violent revenge action. One soldier in the Northern Road Army was killed and injured, and I will bury a hundred Liao people with me."

"Fifth, it is impossible for each family to protect their interests. It is because they have taken the initiative to surrender, but these families must hand over 80% of their wealth."

"Sixth, all royal families must be handed over to me."

When everyone heard about Qin Guan's conditions, many people felt that it was a bit harsh. The Liao people might not agree, so Xiong Da asked questions.

Qin Guan smiled and said, "If I fully agree with their conditions, the Liao people may not necessarily dare to surrender, because they are afraid of fraud."

"If my conditions are more harsh, they will relieve a lot of doubts."

The letter was written, and more than a dozen cavalry of the personal guards came to Zhongjing City. It seems that these defenders had received a notice that no one shot arrows under the city. The personal guard tied the letter to the arrow and shot directly to the top of the city, saying loudly: "This is our general's reply, telling Prime Minister Yelu that it takes up two days at most. If the city gate is not opened on the third day, then it will be the time for us to attack the city."

After receiving a reply from Qin Guan, the generals guarding the city did not dare to neglect them, so they quickly sent the letter to the Grand Prime Minister's Mansion. After Yelu Longyun read Qin Guan's letter, he remained silent for a long time.

Qin Guan's conditions were indeed very harsh, but what rights did the losers have? However, as Qin Guan said, his conditions dispel Yelu Longyun's final doubts, and Qin Guan was indeed not a bloodthirsty person. Qin Guan did not massacre the city in Xijin Prefecture, Bei'anzhou, Zezhou, and Yuzhou in Nanjing. Even the Liao soldiers captured were not killed. If Qin Guan came to Zhongjing, he should not have massacred.

He summoned the ministers of Beijing to come and read Qin Guan’s letter to them, and these people were silent.

In order to survive, they were willing to surrender, but now their lives are guaranteed, and the huge losses hurt them again. This is how people are.

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Hu Ji said, "At present, we have no way out. It is already good to leave 20% of us. It is important to survive now."

Finally, Yelu Longyun finally spoke.

"Xiao Yilu, you are responsible for the defense of Zhongjing and ordered the soldiers guarding the city to stop any further attacks from now on."

"The weapons of the whole city are confiscated and noticed that no one can resist."

Xiao Yilu nodded.

"As for the matter of informing the Imperial City, Hu Ji, you can do it."

Hu Ji was stunned. He looked at the people around him, and finally said with a cold face: "Okay, I'll inform the princes of the imperial city."

"As for family property, the heads of each family are here, so let's prepare it yourself, but let's say it first. If someone hides his or her private property and doesn't take it out 80% of it, Qin Guan found out that he would kill someone after entering the city. I can't control it."

"I will reply to Qin Guan later that at noon tomorrow, all the officers and soldiers in the city will be surrendered."

"Okay, that's it."

The gate of Zhongjing City opened, and two people wearing Liao Dynasty's official uniforms walked out. As soon as they passed the moat, they were caught by the Northern Lu Army and brought to Qin Guan.

The official bowed deeply to Qin Guan and said, "Mr. Qin, I have sent a letter from Yelu Grand Prime Minister. We are willing to agree to your conditions. I just hope that you can keep your promise."

The reason why he was not called General Qin, but Lord Qin was because the Liao people wanted to encircle Qin Guan as a literati. After the warriors defrauded the city, they turned against each other and waved their hands to massacre the city. In this regard, literati pay more attention to integrity and reputation than military people.

Qin Guan took the letter and read it, nodded.

"Okay, at noon tomorrow, I will officially accept your surrender."

The official saluted again and took his subordinates back.

Immediately, the Northern Army appeared, and the defenders at the top of Zhongjing had retreated. The slave soldiers of the Northern Army filled the land and built roads, but never encountered any more shooting.

In just a short time, the road was paved.

Many slave soldiers from Liao cried and finally paved the way. They didn't have to risk the rain of their compatriots' arrows to pave the way, and their lives were saved.

Xiao Yi's crawlers confiscated the weapons and armor of the entire city. Although some people were dissatisfied, under the suppression of the army, they all obediently handed over the swords, guns, bows and arrows in their hands.

In the imperial city of Zhongjing City, a small-scale riot occurred.

Hu Jie came to send a message to inform them to surrender. How could the princes agree? He led the imperial guards in the city to fight Hu Jie out with only five hundred remaining imperial guards.

Xiao Yilu arrived quickly with the army.

The princes closed the gates of the imperial city and resisted stubbornly.

Xiao Yilu could not really kill them, so he could only siege them. After all, the Emperor of Liao was still in the capital.

The sixth prince stood at the top of the city and cursed at the bottom: "Yelu Longyun, Xiao Yilu, Hu Ji, you eggless things, you choose to surrender without resisting. My father is in the capital and will come back soon. After the Zhao army is cleared, you thieves will be taken down and punished."

Xiao Yilu's face turned pale and she ordered: "Anyone is allowed to surround the imperial city. Let the rest be left to the General Qin."

At noon the next day,

The 40,000 troops of the Northern Route Army gathered under the city of Zhongjing, with flags waving, neat formations, bright helmets and armors, sharp swords and guns, and one by one was thrusting their chests.

It has arrived at noon.

The gate of Zhongjing City was wide open, and someone immediately removed the wide door panel and placed it on both sides. The moat passage had been paved, and Zhongjing City completely gave up resistance to the Northern Route Army.

Sixty or seventy members of the Liao Dynasty walked out of the city gate, behind which were nearly 10,000 Liao soldiers, carrying baskets of swords, guns, bows and arrows, placed in front of the two armies.

Xiong waved his hand and moved away the weapons.

Yelu Longyun took the lead and brought dozens of officials to the middle. Qin Guan led Han Yuqing, Li Xuan, Xiong Daxiong and other generals to ride forward.

At this moment, Li Xuan was so happy that he had to work hard to make himself look majestic. This was a great victory. The great prime minister of the Liao Kingdom led a group of Liao officials out of the city to surrender. This moment will surely be recorded in history.

From now on, Li Xuan's name will be remembered by future generations.
