Chapter 259 Young and heroic

"First, open the city gate, remove the door panels, let all Liao soldiers go out of the city and surrender, and hand over all their weapons."

"Second, all officials should leave the city to surrender."

"Third, there are no weapons, sharp weapons, bows, arrows or armors in Dading Mansion. All must be handed over to the Northern Route Army. Anyone who hides weapons secretly will die."

"Fourth, I don't have to massacre the city, but when my army enters the city and is attacked, I will immediately take the most violent retaliatory action. One soldier of the North Route Army will be killed or injured, and I will bury hundreds of Liao people with him."

"Fifth, it is impossible for each family to protect their interests. Not killing them is already based on their voluntary surrender. However, these families must hand over 80% of their family wealth."

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

When everyone heard Qin Guan's condition, many people felt that it was a bit harsh. Those Liao people might not agree to it, so Xiong Da asked his doubts.

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

"If I set more stringent conditions, they will dispel a lot of doubts."

After the letter was written, more than a dozen guardsmen came to the gate of Zhongjing City. Presumably these defenders had received the notice and no one was shooting arrows under the city. The guards tied the letter to arrows and shot them directly at the top of the city, saying loudly: "This is

This is a reply from our commander, telling Prime Minister Yelu that if the city gate is not opened in two days at most, it will be the time for us to attack the city."

After receiving Qin Guan's reply, the generals who defended the city did not dare to neglect and quickly took the letter and sent it to the Prime Minister's Mansion. After Yelu Longyun read Qin Guan's letter, he remained silent for a long time.

Qin Guan's conditions are indeed very harsh, but what rights do the defeated have? However, as Qin Guan said, these conditions of his have dispelled Yelu Longyun's last doubts, and Qin Guan is indeed not murderous.

Qin Guan did not massacre the people in Nanjing's Xijin Prefecture, Bei'an Prefecture, Zezhou, and Yuzhou. Even the captured Liao soldiers were not killed. If he wanted to enter Zhongjing, Qin Guan should not be wantonly.

massacre.

He summoned the ministers from Zhongjing and showed them Qin Guan's letter. These people also fell silent.

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

Seeing that everyone was silent, Hu Huan said: "Now that things have happened, we have no way out. It's good to be able to leave us 20%. Survival is the most important thing now."

Finally, Yelu Longyun finally spoke.

"Xiao Yilu, you are responsible for the defense of Zhongjing and order the soldiers guarding the city not to carry out any more attacks from now on."

"Collect all weapons in the city and issue a notice. No one is allowed to resist."

Xiao Yilu nodded.

"As for informing the Imperial City, Hu Huan, just go ahead and do it."

Hu Huan was stunned for a moment. He looked at the people around him and finally said with a cold face: "Okay, I will inform the princes in the imperial city."

"As for the family property, the principals of each family are here. Go and prepare it yourself. But let's talk first. If someone hides something and doesn't come up with 80% of it, and Qin Guan comes to the city and finds out that he wants to kill someone, I can't control it."

"I will reply to Qin Guan in a while. At noon tomorrow, all the officers and soldiers in the city will go out to accept the surrender."

"Okay, that's it."

The gate of Zhongjing City opened, and two men wearing official uniforms of the Liao Kingdom came out. As soon as they crossed the moat ditch, they were caught by the Northern Route Army and brought to Qin Guan.

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

The reason why he was not called General Qin but Master Qin was because the people of Liao wanted to place Qin Guan in the position of a scholar. After the warriors defrauded the city, they turned their backs and massacred the city. In this regard, scholars

Biwu people pay more attention to integrity and reputation.

Qin Guan took the letter, read it, and nodded.

"Well, at noon tomorrow, I will formally accept your surrender."

The official saluted again and returned with his subordinates.

Immediately, the Northern Route Army discovered that the garrison at the head of Zhongjing City had withdrawn. The slave soldiers of the Northern Route Army filled in the soil to build the road, and no more fire was encountered.

It only took a short time for the road to be paved.

Many slave soldiers of the Liao Kingdom cried. Finally, the road was paved. They no longer had to brave the rain of arrows from their own compatriots to pave the road. Their lives were saved.

Xiao Yi led his troops to confiscate weapons and armor from the entire city. Although there were some who were dissatisfied, under the suppression of the army, they all obediently handed over their swords, guns, bows and arrows.

In the Imperial City of Zhongjing City, a small-scale riot broke out.

Hu Huan came to deliver a message, informing them to surrender the city. How could the princes agree, so they took the remaining 500 imperial guardsmen in the city and beat Hu Huan out.

Xiao Yilu arrived quickly with his army.

All the princes closed the gates of the imperial city tightly and resisted stubbornly.

Xiao Yilu couldn't really kill them, he could only besiege them. After all, the Emperor of Liao was still in the capital.

The sixth prince stood at the top of the city and yelled at the people below: "Yelu Longyun, Xiao Yilu, Hu Huan, you eggless things, you chose to surrender without resisting. My father is going to Beijing and will be killed soon."

Come back and capture this Zhao army, and then you traitors will be captured and held accountable."

Xiao Yilu's face turned livid and he ordered: "Surround the imperial city and no one is allowed to come out. Leave the rest to General Qin."

At noon the next day,

All 40,000 troops of the Northern Route Army gathered at the foot of Zhongjing City, flags fluttering, formations in order, helmets bright, swords and guns sharp, and chests held high.

Noon has arrived.

The gate of Zhongjing City was opened wide, and someone immediately removed the wide door panels and placed them on both sides. The moat channel was paved, and Zhongjing City completely gave up resistance to the Northern Route Army.

Sixty or seventy ministers of the Liao Kingdom walked out of the city gate, followed by nearly ten thousand Liao soldiers, carrying baskets of swords, guns, bows and arrows, and placed them in front of the two armies.

Xiong Da waved his hand and moved the weapons away.

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

At this moment, Li Xuan was extremely happy, but he still had to work hard to keep a straight face and look as majestic as possible. This was a great victory. The Prime Minister of Liao led a group of Liao officials out of the city to surrender. This moment will be recorded in history.

.

From now on, his name, Li Xuan, will surely be remembered by future generations.

Qin Guan and others did not dismount. Yelu Longyun led his men forward. He looked up and saw a general riding a tall black horse and wearing black armor in the middle. He was protected by all the generals of Zhao State. This man
