MTL - Wei and Jin Cooks-Chapter 810 Confused
When the soldiers finally arrived with an imperial physician, Liu Yuan was already dead, but there was still warmth in his body.
Zhao Hanzhang reached out his hand to touch his breath, got up silently, and looked up at the courtiers and generals of the Han Dynasty who were already crying.
She pursed her lips, and said: "Inside and outside Xiaoyu, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Yuan has passed away. All those who belonged to the Xiongnu, whether Han or Hu, should disarm and not kill. The three armies are strictly prohibited from invading the people, no matter whether he is Han people, or Hu people, civilians, or slaves!"
The soldiers responded in unison, "Yes!"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Ring the bell."
She looked at Xuan Yuxiu who was lying on the ground crying, looked at his official uniform, and asked, "What's your name, and what official did you serve?"
Xuan Yuxiu didn't want to answer him, and another official beside him answered for him, "Return to the governor of Zhao, this is Xuan Yuxiu, the doctor of the imperial censor."
said again: "Xia Tao Qi is a Han Chinese who was once a minister of Jin."
Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him and then looked at Xuan Yuxiu, "Emperor Liu's funeral is entrusted to you, and the funeral shall be conducted according to the emperor's specifications."
Xuan Yuxiu raised his face, glanced at Zhao Hanzhang with tears on his face, then broke away from the soldier who was pressing him, and bowed deeply to Zhao Hanzhang: "No!"
Even Liu Qin stopped struggling and was taken down silently. Seeing this, other officials of the Huns were also taken down obediently.
Zhao Hanzhang then ordered: "Arrest all the maids, servants, and guards in the palace, count the number of people, property, and do not hurt or humiliate others."
All the soldiers responded, and then they rushed to the palace like wolves and tigers.
The bell rang nine times in succession. People inside and outside the palace who were eager to escape couldn't help being stunned and stopped their movements.
When the bell rang nine times, some fell to the ground and burst into tears, some dropped their weapons in a daze, and were captured by Zhao's army. Others hesitated for a while, and instead of running away, they squatted on the ground waiting for Zhao's army to come and collect them...
In this city of Pingyang, there is only one person who can ring the nine death knells. Their emperor is dead...
Some people were grieving, but in the palace, the maids, servants and Hanchen who fled in panic suddenly felt relieved. Even Zhao Hanzhang was willing to ring the death knell after the death of the Hun Emperor. right?
One person stopped and was successfully detained by the Zhao family army. He was not hacked or insulted, so more people stopped, standing and waiting for the Zhao family army to come forward and take them down.
Chen Wu entered the main hall, and under the order of Zhao Hanzhang, he began to count the prisoners, as well as the Huns outside the palace who had not yet surrendered and were stubbornly resisting in every corner of the city.
There are 100,000 troops in Pingyang City. Before Fu Tinghan and the others attacked the city, when the two armies faced each other, the opponent lost thousands of people.
This time the siege, including the surrender, was only about 30,000 people, and there were nearly 60,000 people left.
Soon, a personal soldier came to report: "Two Huns troops are going to the north of the city, and one is going to the east of the city. The little general and General Zeng split into two groups to pursue. in that team."
Zhao Hanzhang: "Why?"
"Someone saw him in the line."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said: "Add troops to the north of the city, send a message to the army outside the city, let them enter the city immediately, and go to the north gate to support."
The soldier panicked and responded immediately.
Listening to He hurriedly asked, "Girl, is the prince in the two teams in the north of the city?"
"I don't know," Zhao Hanzhang said, "but there are a lot of people over there, so it would not be wrong to send more help. What's the use of just arresting one prince? If you want to arrest all the princes of Liu Yuan, you can force Liu Yuan Satoshi had to exchange hostages with me."
However, Liu Yuan's plan before his death was obviously not so easy to break. Most of the Xiongnu court followed the prince and ran away.
The 60,000 imperial troops were divided into three teams by him, among whom there were many capable ministers and good generals, plus their officials and servants and guards, there were more than one hundred thousand mighty troops.
It is not easy to attack the city from the outside to the inside, but it is much easier to kill from the inside to the outside. When the army goes out of the city, it bumps into the army led by Ming Yu, and immediately rushes out like a wolf's blood.
Ming pre-book was determined to let them go. Seeing their high morale, they immediately opened the door. At the same time, they kept a close eye on the heavily protected carriage and wanted to organize a cavalry to attack.
But they were very tightly guarded, and they tried to rush in several times, but they couldn't do it, and instead suffered heavy losses.
After fighting for a quarter of an hour, the Xiongnu army was about to rush out of the north city gate. Their reinforcements arrived. Before the two armies could fight, the bell rang. I had to make a choice, and asked someone to stop Zeng Yue, "The mourning army will win, if we continue to fight, we will just give away the lives of the soldiers, let them go by making way."
Zeng Yue was unwilling, "No way, Shijun said to catch Prince Liu, we must catch him."
After saying that, he led the army to chase after him.
The Huns were filled with grief and anger, and they knew that the foundation of the Huns was still there. As long as Liu Cong was undefeated, they would have a chance to stand up.
It’s just a Pingyang City lost, they will fight back later, but they didn’t expect His Majesty to die.
Thinking of this, many soldiers shed tears, crying and killing outside, the carriage was washed up and down like duckweed in the water, and the prince was almost thrown out in the carriage.
At the East City Gate, which is some distance away from the North City Gate, Liu Yi also heard the bell, and tears came down his eyes.
Then he cried and ran out of the city desperately, but he only brought 10,000 troops and no officials to follow. Although the combat effectiveness was very high, they knew in their hearts that they were a group of people who were abandoned.
Just like the maids and imperial soldiers who were left in the palace, they had no hope, so once it was confirmed that Zhao Hanzhang really disarmed and did not kill, and gave preferential treatment to the prisoners, the swords in their hands would not be so ruthless.
The two armies at the north city gate still had officials and family members with them. If they stopped, the ones who died might be their family members, but the one at the east city gate was different. They were originally used as substitutes for the prince to attract troops away.
It was Liu Yi. When the ninth bell rang, his momentum of rushing outward disappeared, and his movements gradually became weak and weak, and finally stopped.
He wants to go back, he wants to go back to the palace, Father must be very pitiful now lying alone in the cold palace.
As a son, it was a great sin for him not to accompany his father when his father died. How could he die without a son to send him to the funeral?
Liu Ai stopped, and Zhao Erlang also came up to him. He rode up and ran up to him to face him. When he saw Liu Ai wearing the crown prince's clothes, he stared slightly, "Liu Ai, when did you Xiongnu change the prince?"
Liu Yi dropped the knife, looked at him sadly and angrily, and said, "You can kill or cut if you want, why bother mocking me?"
Zhao Erlang muttered, when did he ridicule him?
Zhao Erlang turned his head and said to his soldiers: "Go back and tell my sister that I have captured the prince of the Xiongnu."
His soldiers: "...little general, he is not a prince, he is a fake, a pretended prince!"
Zhao Erlang reacted in an instant, became angry, and pointed his spear at his neck, "Okay, you, give me a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, hmph, how can I be so easily deceived? Someone, take him back, I will Go to the North City Gate to support!"
