Chapter 261
"First, open the city gate, remove the door panels, and all Liao soldiers leave the city to accept surrender and surrender all their weapons."

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

"Thirdly, there are no weapons, sharp weapons, bows and arrows and armor in Dading Mansion. All must be handed over to the North Route Army. Anyone who hides weapons privately will die."

"Fourth, I don't need to massacre the city, but when my army enters the city, as long as I am attacked, I will immediately take the most violent revenge. If one soldier of the Northern Route Army is killed or injured, I will take a hundred Liao people to be buried with him."

"Fifth, it is impossible for the families to keep their interests. Not killing them is already for the sake of their voluntary surrender, but these families must hand over [-]% of their 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, and those Liao people might not agree, so Xiong Da asked doubts.

Qin Guan chuckled and said, "If I fully agree with their conditions, the Liao people really might not dare to surrender, because they are afraid of being cheated."

"If I make the conditions stricter, they will dispel a lot of doubts."

After the letter was written, a dozen or so guards came to the city of Zhongjing. Presumably, the defenders had been notified that no one shot arrows down the city. The guards tied the letter to the arrow and shot it directly at the top of the city, saying loudly: "This It was the reply from our commander in chief, telling Prime Minister Yelu that within two days at most, if the city gates are not opened on the third day, then it will be time for us to attack the city."

After receiving Qin Guan's reply, the city guards did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly sent the letter 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 does 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 a bloodthirsty People, Qin Guan did not massacre the city in Xijin Mansion, Bei'an Prefecture, Zezhou, and Yuzhou in Nanjing, even the Liao soldiers who were captured. Qin Guan should not want to enter Zhongjing. massacre.

The ministers of Central Beijing were summoned to show them Qin Guan's letter, but these people also fell silent.

In order to survive, they were willing to surrender, but now that their lives were guaranteed, the huge loss made them feel heartbroken, that's how people are.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Hu Jie said, "At this point, we have no way out. It's not bad to leave us [-]%, but now our survival is the most important thing."

Finally, Yelu Longyun finally spoke.

"Xiao Yilu, you are in charge of Zhongjing's defense, order the defenders to stop any further attacks from now on."

"Confiscate all the weapons in the city and issue a notice that no one should resist."

Xiao Yilu nodded.

"As for the matter of notifying the imperial city, Hu Jie, you can do it."

Hu Jie was taken aback 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. You can prepare it by yourself. But let's talk about it first. If someone hides something and doesn't give [-]% of it, Qin Guan finds out after entering the city that he wants to kill someone. I can't control it."

"After a while, the old man will reply to Qin Guan. At noon tomorrow, all the officers and soldiers in the city will leave the city to accept the surrender."

"Okay, that's it."

The gate of Zhongjing City opened, and two people wearing the official uniforms of the Liao Dynasty came out. They were caught by the North Route Army just after they passed the moat and brought them to Qin Guan.

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

The reason why they are not called General Qin, but Master Qin is because the Liao people want to place Qin Guan in the position of literati. Tournaments pay more attention to integrity and reputation.

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

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

The official saluted again and led his subordinates back.

Immediately, the Northern Route Army discovered that the defenders at the top of Zhongjing City had all withdrawn, and the slave soldiers of the Northern Route Army filled the soil to build roads, and never encountered shooting again.

In just a short time, the road was paved.

Many slave soldiers of the Liao Kingdom cried, and finally paved the way, instead of braving the arrow rain of their compatriots to pave the way, their lives were saved.

Xiao Yi's tracked soldiers confiscated the weapons and armor of the whole 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 occurred.

Hu Jie came to deliver a letter, informing them that they would surrender the city. How could the princes agree, and they took Hu Jie out with only [-] remaining imperial forest troops in the city.

Xiao Yilu quickly arrived with the army.

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 Kingdom was still in the capital.

The sixth prince stood at the top of the wall and yelled at the people below: "Yelu Longyun, Xiao Yilu, Hu Jie, you bastards, you don't want to resist but choose to surrender. My father is in Shangjing, and he will kill you soon!" Come back, hand over this Zhao Jun, and you thieves will be taken down and questioned when the time comes."

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

At noon the next day,
The [-] troops of the North Route Army gathered under the city of Zhongjing, with banners unfurled, formations in order, helmets bright, swords and guns sharp, and their chests straightened out.

Noon has come.

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

A group of ministers of the Liao Kingdom, 70 to [-] people, walked out of the city gate. Behind them were nearly [-] Liao soldiers, carrying baskets of knives, guns, bows and arrows, and placed them in front of the formation of the two armies.

Xiong Da waved his hand and moved the weapon away.

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

At this moment, Li Xuan was very happy, but he still had to work hard to keep a straight face and try to make himself look dignified.This is a great victory. The Prime Minister of the Liao Kingdom led a group of officials of the Liao Kingdom out of the city to surrender. This moment will definitely be recorded in history.

In the future, his name, Li Xuan, will surely be remembered by future generations.

Qin Guan and the others didn't get off their horses. Yelu Longyun led the people forward and looked up, but saw a general in the middle of a black armor riding a tall black horse, protected by the generals of Zhao Guozhong. Yelu Longyun's feeling is that he is young and heroic.
