Han Shizu

Chapter 151 The power of the Son of Heaven is so terrifying

Back and forth, after more than nine days, Liu Zhiyuan finally led his army to the city of Yedu, and the speed was not too slow.The main force of the [-] forbidden army came aggressively, and the mighty and majestic division immediately gave the besieging Han army a shot in the arm, especially when the emperor came in person.No matter when the emperor is able to visit the battlefield in person, it is a huge boost to the morale of the army.

Of course, if the emperor came in person and the battle still failed to achieve a breakthrough, and Yedu still couldn't attack him, or even lost, then the result would definitely be miserable.

But right now, no one in the Han army would have such thoughts from the generals to the pawns.Not to mention anything else, the [-] Tokyo Horse Guards elite is too much, enough to eliminate all unstable factors on the battlefield.

After receiving the notification, Gao Xingzhou made preparations for the reception in the army early, adjusted the deployment, vacated the tents, and prepared hot food. The movement made a lot of noise, which made the defenders in Yuancheng nervous. An attack was about to be launched, so Du Chongwei went to the city to inspect it in person when he heard the news.Naturally, he couldn't see why, but he just ordered his confidants to be more vigilant.

There is no news in the city, so it is natural not to know what is going on outside.Until a violent "long live" mountain cry suddenly erupted from outside the city, and the sound waves rolled straight into the dry clouds.

"Has Liu Zhiyuan come in person?" Upon receiving the report, Du Chongwei, who was hiding in the Jiedu Yamen, immediately jumped up.

"It's no wonder that the Han army outside the city made such a big movement before, so they were preparing to meet them." After being surprised, Du Chongwei came to his senses and murmured.

Although Du Chongwei was not a very good person, he looked really good, with a square face and long beard, he looked majestic and mighty.

But at this moment, that face was full of depression, it was extremely ugly, the pupils were constricted, and there seemed to be dark clouds coordinatingly between the brows.

"The groom actually came in person. It seems that he really doesn't want to give up. He is determined to fail." Du Chongwei seemed a little at a loss, and his voice was trembling when he spoke.

My family knew about my own family affairs, and after the beatings before and after the siege, Du Chongwei lost the spirit he had when he raised the army.

He couldn't win the battle, that old man Gao Xingzhou was too difficult to deal with.

It's not that he didn't think about escaping, it's just that when the Han soldiers first came to the city, he was reluctant to part with the wealth he had accumulated over the years, and now he had no place to escape if he wanted to.

As for the expected Khitan father, there was no sign of him at all.But he didn't know that in the north, Yeluruan personally led the Khitan army, and Zhao Yanshou was fighting at the foot of Youzhou city.

After these two months of siege, Du Chongwei became more and more frightened day by day, but the most frightening thing was not the Han army outside the city, after all they hadn't entered yet.What really made him restless was the situation in the city, the army, officials, and people.Blindly tough measures and excessive collection methods can be suppressed for a while, but there will always be times when you will taste the bad results.

Du Chongwei could feel the undercurrent in the city of Yedu at this time. Recently, he was worried that if the Han army didn't come in, his subordinates would kill him.Therefore, Du Chongwei's commander-in-chief's mansion is the most heavily guarded place in the city of Yedu at this time. Although it is unpopular, after so many years, it can still bring out some diehard loyalists.At the same time, they paid more and more attention to that group of Yan soldiers, and they were better than Ye soldiers in any supply, which made the soldiers' hearts even more scattered.

At the beginning of September, Gao Xingzhou couldn't bear the pressure of the court and launched an attack, almost breaking the city, but luckily, on the last day of the Han army's attack, it rained, so he returned without success.

That gave Du Chongwei a little hope, and after staying for a while, he made peace with the court and expressed his submission.In his mind, after spending so long, the imperial court probably knows that his strength is no match for Yedu's, and if he continues to fight, both sides will suffer. As long as he succumbs a little bit and gives the imperial court a step down, even if he wants to come to the imperial court. For the sake of this town, I fought with him to death.

The wishful thinking was well planned, but before it was implemented, the Emperor of Han actually came in person.No matter how dull he was, Du Chongwei could still feel Liu Zhiyuan's determination here.

Han Ting's toughness was beyond his expectation.

"Jie Shuai, what should we do now." The general who reported looked at Du Chongwei nervously, with obvious fear on his face: "Not only the Emperor of Han came, but also a lot of new troops, probably the main force of the Forbidden Army in Tokyo. "

A sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, Du Chongwei sat slumped on the seat covered with velvet cushions, noticed the fear of the general, he rushed up, and scolded viciously: "What to do, how do I know what to do? What do you say, idiot?"

When he got angry, General Ye who was waiting in the hall couldn't help but lower his head.Then, a person muttered in a very low voice: "We are trapped in an isolated city, and our soldiers are short of food. How can we defend the imperial army? Mo Ruo surrendered before the fish died and the net broke."

If someone had dared to surrender before, it is estimated that Du Chongwei would have gone mad and killed him.But at this time, as soon as the words fell, Du Chongwei did not get angry. Instead, he subconsciously said, "Surrender? You have hated the court like that before, will the court accept it?"

The Ye generals below fell silent.However, during the silence, Du Chongwei felt an atmosphere that made his heart skip a beat.

A little panicked, Du Chongwei waved his hands like chasing flies: "This commander must think carefully about how to break the situation. You first go to command the army, restrain the soldiers, and guard Yedu for me, and don't let up."

After the discussion was over, two officers whose uniforms were obviously different from those of Ye soldiers got together and discussed quietly.These two were Yan generals who were originally stationed in Yedu by the Khitan people, and the leading general was named Zhang Lian.

"General, the Emperor of Han actually marched in person. The city of Ye must not be able to defend it. Du Chongwei's ship is about to sink. We can't accompany him to his death!" The officer who followed Zhang Lian whispered: "Just now, in the hall, Looking at those Jin generals, I'm afraid they all have the intention of surrendering, we have to prepare early!"

Hearing what his subordinates said, Zhang Lian's rough face also had a sad look, and he replied casually: "Prepare? Prepare for what? Surrender?"

The officer nodded hastily: "This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later!"

Zhang Lian couldn't help but glared at his subordinates who spoke boldly. He looked around guiltily and found that no one was paying attention to them. He pulled them back to the barracks and said, "You think I didn't think about it? Our previous meeting The Han army fought and killed many people, how can they surrender?"

"There is no one who kills in a war. Everyone is their own master. If we surrender, can the imperial court blame us for this? If so, will anyone dare to surrender to the imperial court in the future?" The officer replied carelessly.

Zhang Lian couldn't help taking a deep breath, with a slightly hesitant expression on his expression: "But... it would be great if there is someone to recommend."

The subordinates still wanted to persuade, but Zhang Lian waved his hand to stop him: "Don't be in a hurry, let's see the situation. You give orders, and then tell the brothers to wake up to me, now is the moment of death. By the way, don't give The mad dogs who supervised the battle have caught the handle."

"Yes!"

In fact, after learning that the Emperor Han personally led the army to the north, not only these Yan soldiers, but also other Ye soldiers had all kinds of thoughts flying together. Not many people were willing to follow Du Chongwei to fight the court to the end.

Even Du Chongwei himself did not have the idea and courage to go all the way to the dark.
If Liu Zhiyuan knew that the mere news of his royal presence had changed the situation in the city like this, he would probably be able to laugh out loud.
