Chapter 125: The demise of the Jin Kingdom
On the battlefield, Wu Qimai was already red in his eyes. At this time, he had already given up his identity as the emperor and regarded himself as the most ordinary soldier. His scimitar kept waving his enemy's lives one by one. However, under the encirclement of superior forces, his soldiers also fell down one by one, and the guards around Wu Qimai became thinner and thinner. Fortunately, these soldiers were his confidants. Without his orders, everyone would rather die than surrender.
"Stop" suddenly an order came from the battlefield, and then countless rope snares were thrown out among the soldiers surrounding Wu Qimai. Unpredictable, Wu Qimai only felt tightening, and his arms and neck were tightly trapped by rope snares. Then the soldiers around him used force together. Wu Qimai fell from the horse and was dragged into the enemy formation. Before Wu Qimai could get up, more than a dozen weapons were already placed on his neck.
Wu Qimai was captured, and the hundreds of remaining soldiers under his command wanted to surrender, but unfortunately Yelu Nuzhang did not accept it at all. With a wave of his hand, he asked someone to slaughter all of Wu Qimai's confidants. It was not until then that Yelu Nuzhang smiled and said, "Wu Qimai, why are you doing this?"
"Bah! I didn't expect you to collude with the Song people. Unfortunately, I was deceived by you and ended up today!" Wu Qimai said angrily with his bloody eyes. At this time, his helmet also fell off, and several holes were cut on his armor, covered in mud and blood, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
"Haha, don't push everything to me. If you weren't ambitious, how could you snatch your elder brother's throne? If it were still the emperor of Aguda, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the chance to control Huanglong Mansion City." Yelu Nuzhang smiled again at this time. The overall situation was settled, and he could finally seek credit from the Song Dynasty.
Seeing the smug smile on Yelu Nuzhang's face, Wu Qimai became even more angry and pointed at him and began to curse. Unfortunately, Yelu Nuzhang didn't care at all. He waved his hand and asked someone to take Wu Qimai down, and then immediately sent someone to surrender to the Song Dynasty. On the surface, the Song Dynasty did not participate in it at all. Everything was just a rebellion within the Jin Dynasty, which would not make the population a reality.
After Zhao Yan asked the Song envoy Wang Qi to agree to the negotiation request of Wu Qimai, he did not ask someone to go to Sanlongling. Instead, he asked Yang Huaiyu to lead a large army to line up on the border of the Jin Kingdom and be prepared to attack at any time. If Yelu Nuzhang succeeded, then their army would march straight into and control the Jin Kingdom in the shortest time. But if Yelu Nuzhang fails, it will definitely cause considerable trouble to the Jin Kingdom. Then they will take this opportunity to break into the Jin Kingdom. Therefore, no matter whether Yelu Nuzhang succeeds or fails, Zhao Yan is determined to destroy the Jin Kingdom this time.
"Father, our army is about to break into the Jin Dynasty, and someone is in need of support from the Jin Dynasty. Why do you have to let me come out so early?" Zhao Xin said in a dissatisfied manner in Zhao Yan's tent. He was lurking in the Jin Dynasty very well, but Zhao Yan forced him to retreat as soon as he arrived at the border of the Jin Dynasty. His father's order was difficult to violate, so he had to come to the army obediently, but when he saw his father, he still couldn't help but complain.
"Whatever you want to do, everything in the Jin Kingdom is under our control, and the mission of your Imperial City Department has been almost completed. Regardless of whether Yelu Nuzhang succeeds or not, the next thing is what the army needs to do. What is the use of your little manpower in the Jin Kingdom? Just stay in the army with honesty and don't run around!" Zhao Yan glared. In fact, Zhao Xin's personality is most similar to Zhao Yan when she was young. Although she looks hilarious and unfair, she is actually very independent in her heart. This is also the reason why Zhao Yan can't do anything to Zhao Xin.
Seeing that his father was angry, Zhao Xin was not afraid at all, and still talked to Zhao Yan. He asked about the situation at home, and then pestered that after the Jin Dynasty was over, he wanted to go to Goryeo or Japan for a while. Although Zhao Yan refused on the spot, Zhao Xin was not discouraged at all. He still smiled and was extremely shameless.
A few days later, the people sent by Yelu Nuzhang to report the news finally arrived at Zhao Yan's camp. When he received the news that Wu Qimai had been captured alive, Zhao Yan also slapped the table excitedly and ordered the army to attack the Jin Kingdom. When he first arrived at the border of the Jin Kingdom, the defenders on the border wanted to resist, but when Yelu Nuzhang's messenger took out the document signed by Yelu Nuzhang himself, the defenders also hesitated, especially after seeing that the Song army opposite was almost ten times that of theirs, they finally chose to surrender very wisely.
After the Jin border troops were incorporated, the Song army advanced again. Although they encountered Jin's defenders from time to time on the way, most of these defenders chose to surrender. Although a small number of people chose to resist, their resistance was meaningless in the face of the absolute superior forces of the Song Dynasty, and they could not even block the Song army.
It is precisely because of this that the Song army advanced very quickly. Five days later, it arrived at the city of Huanglongfu. Yelu Nuzhang had already received news at this time and prepared to surrender to the jade seal and other items of the Jin Kingdom. He went out of the city ten miles to surrender to the Song army led by Zhao Yan. In response, Zhao Yan took over Yelu Nuzhang's surrender on behalf of the Song Dynasty, which also marked the official demise of the Jin Kingdom.
"Your Highness, Wu Qimai has been detained in the prison in the city, waiting for you to come and detain you at any time!" After completing a surrender ceremony, Yelu Nuzhang spoke to Zhao Yan with a flattering smile.
"I did a good job. Huanglong Mansion City is small and it is inconvenient for the army to enter the city. I don't have time to stay here for a long time. If you ask someone to send Wu Qimai to the military camp immediately, I will escort him and Aguda to Beijing to question the crime tomorrow!" Zhao Yan nodded when he heard this. For the sake of caution, he did not intend to enter the city at all. This was not timid, but worried about some accidents, which led to the out of control of the entire situation. After all, his identity is really too important.
"The villain understands, and I will send Wu Qimai to him immediately!" Yelu Nuzhang was also very smart. After a moment of thinking, he understood what Zhao Yan meant. He immediately spoke quickly, then turned around and asked someone to send Wu Qimai to him. At the same time, he opened the city gate and asked his troops to put down their weapons, so as to dispel Zhao Yan's suspicion.
Seeing this, Zhao Yan nodded with satisfaction. Although Yelu Nuzhang is an absolute villain, he has a great ability to observe words and expressions. No wonder he was able to climb to his current position in the Jin Kingdom. Unfortunately, the Song Dynasty did not need such talents, so he would still have to keep him away from the court in the future. (To be continued.)
