Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

The Qian army accepted the surrender and read out his abdication edict in public. Emperor Zhao Ji, Crown Prince Zhao Huan, and all officials knelt on the ground and listened. Everything was done, and the Zhao Song Mandate of Heaven was completely declared over!

The Qian army entered the city of Bianjing and began to register and implement new policies. In addition, supplies were also transferred from the rear.

The city of Bianjing had been trapped and isolated for two months, and the supplies inside had been extremely depleted, and it had long been at the point of exhaustion. Otherwise, the Song court would not have been forced to take the initiative to open the city gates and send envoys to surrender.

There is really no other way.

Firstly, although the Qian army blocked the inside and outside, they distributed court reports, battle reports, and military intelligence into the city, letting everyone in the city know about the changes in the outside world. After the detailed news of the founding of the Daqian country and the annexation of the northern territories came in, everyone knew that the Song Dynasty was doomed and completely defeated. What was the point of resisting at this time?

Could it be that they still hoped to counterattack with the strength of one city or one region?!

Crazy!

It should be noted that of the 120,000 troops in the capital area, countless of them mutinied or fled, and now only tens of thousands of defeated soldiers are left.

Even if all of them were mobilized, they would be of no use, not to mention that they were all incorporated into the Qian army one by one.

There is no need to struggle anymore.

Secondly, in such a situation where people were divided and in ruins, there were many conflicts in the city, and coupled with the shortage of supplies, there were gradually signs of chaos!

It's like a powder keg that keeps piling up. If a decision isn't made soon and things continue like this, riots will break out in Bianjing City before the Qian army even takes action!

In this way, the Song court had no other choice but to surrender.

It might be possible to maintain some dignity by surrendering voluntarily now, but if we wait until the Qian army attacks the city, everything will be uncertain.

At this time, the Qian army was reorganizing and governing the city of Bianjing in an orderly manner.

Inside the military camp, all the officials of the Song court were under guard. Zhao Ji looked haggard and shed tears silently.

The ancestral foundation was completely destroyed in his hands.

But he just couldn't understand why the Song Dynasty, which was as prosperous as it was half a year ago, suddenly became like this?

In addition to regret, Zhao Ji was also extremely frightened. He didn't know what his fate would be or what the final outcome would be.

How can a king of a fallen country have dignity?

All the former ministers of the Song court present were silent at this moment. It was not just Zhao Ji who was distraught.

They, the remnants of the previous dynasty, don't know where to go...

the other side.

Along the Yellow River, the Qian army divided its forces to sweep the area, capturing cities and suppressing rebels and chaotic armies in various places, and at the same time reorganizing the surrendered righteous flags. Three of the five armies gradually gathered towards Hebei and Hedong, and the other two headed towards Yongxing and Qinfeng.

Hebei East Road.

A while ago, a small group of elite troops charged and killed a rebel army of 5,000 people, captured a lot of prisoners, and the general came back to report the details and the confiscation situation.

Cheng Qingshuang frowned slightly, and looked at the jade seal and Huang Juan placed on the table. She reached out to take a look. The jade seal was carved from black jade in the shape of a leopard, and was engraved with the seal of "Emperor of Great Yan". On the Huang Juan was a genealogy table written in Xianbei and Xia languages ​​respectively.

"Dayan? Murong family?"

"How ridiculous it is that a small country during the Five Dynasties dared to call itself the Great Yan and proclaim itself emperor!" Cheng Qingshuang shook his head and looked up at the generals in the front and asked, "Was the commander of this rebellious army killed or captured?"

"He's captured. He's quite capable, and his martial arts skills are quite impressive. As a result, quite a few soldiers were injured, about ten or so. Fortunately, no one was killed."

"Well, first return them to the wounded camp to recuperate and settle down. You lead the troops sent out in front to clear out the chaos in this area as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Cheng Qingshuang asked people to put away all the items. After all, these were some special confiscations, so they had to be reported.

But she didn't care too much. A mere 5,000 soldiers were not worth mentioning at all.

If it weren't for these two slightly special items, the generals in the front wouldn't have needed to come and report specifically.

Leaving behind an elite force to guard the rear, the army continued its march towards the border.

The Liao and Jin Kingdoms have mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to march south and have begun to infringe on the border. Now the territory of the Song Dynasty belongs to Daqian. It would have been fine if they had not gone to attack Liao and Jin, but they actually dared to march south and offend the majesty of Daqian. They are simply outrageous!

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

......

In the prisoner camp.

Murong Fu looked dejected. He sat on the ground blankly, staring at the ground with lifeless eyes. It took him a long time to recover from the blow of defeat and capture.

Finally, they encountered the "right time" of the Murong family, finally raised an army and started a rebellion, finally conquered a territory, and then finally expanded the territory and increased the army to 5,000...

But at this moment, everything is over!

Once the army was defeated, all the soldiers and elite warriors that had been accumulated by exhausting the family's wealth were lost!

The great cause of national restoration is fleeting like a dream!

One can imagine the sadness in Murong Fu's heart!

He was extremely angry towards the Qian army, but along with his anger, he also felt horror and fear!

He had known in the past that the Qian army was extremely powerful and invincible, but he had only known about it through intelligence and had not had a deep understanding of it. Since he started the rebellion, he had personally led the army. Although there had been setbacks and losses, every battle had been successful. He could not help but feel complacent, thinking that the way to lead was just so-so. Given some time, he might be able to train the world's elite soldiers, who would be able to fight even against the Qian army. However...

Only when he faced the Qian army head-on did he realize how ridiculous his idea was, and he also deeply understood the horror of the so-called "Qian army's extremely strong military force"!

Is this the power that sweeps the world?!

Murong Fu himself was unwilling to admit that he was so frightened and disheartened by the elite Qian army of a thousand men that he actually wanted to escape at that moment.

But there was no possibility of escape in the military formation.

When he was exhausted, he even thought about committing suicide, but the extreme unwillingness to fail in his mission, coupled with the great terror between life and death, prevented him from doing it.

After being defeated and captured, what will happen in the future?

(ps: asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support ~)

Chapter 519: Life-saving Straw! Life-threatening Steel Knife!

Murong Fu's thoughts were in a mess.

He actually didn't expect such an outcome at all.

Rather, he imagined himself as the heroic ruler who would restore the Great Yan! A true man capable of wielding a three-foot sword and accomplishing unparalleled feats! Even if he failed, he would still be a resounding hero, admired by the world! Yet, as he stood now, he controlled only two or three small cities, with a force of barely five thousand men. Outside the realm of the martial arts world, he held no reputation or prestige. Even among the rebels and righteous banners of the northern Song Dynasty, he was hardly a prominent figure. He had barely begun his rise to power, yet he was ruthlessly suppressed!

There is no room for resistance!

Until now, Murong Fu is still confused!

When he first learned the news that Daqian was about to be founded, although he felt urgent and anxious, he also knew that once the north was pacified by the Qian army, there would be no possibility for him to rise again. However, even though he knew this, he really did not expect that the situation would change so quickly!

It took the Qian army four months to capture the southern Song territory. This speed was astonishing enough, but the speed in the north was even more exaggerated! Horrifying! Even with a delay of more than a month, it took only half a month to push the front line to the Hebei area.

This is so fast!

Almost 750 is too outrageous!

According to his original prediction, even if he overestimated it, it would take at least two months.

By then, Liao, Jin, and Western Xia will invade the south on a large scale, and places like Hebei, Jingdong, Hedong, and Yongxing will become even more chaotic. That will be a good opportunity for him to play both sides and develop dormantly.

However......

The speed of Qian's army's attack was far beyond his estimation. They pushed the front line here so far in advance. At this time, Liao and Jin had just begun to invade the south and had not yet had time to break through the border defense line, let alone involve this place. The opportunity that was likely to cause a major chaos was lost.

Murong Fu's face was filled with bitterness: "I didn't carefully consider the impact of Daqian's founding of the country and its system, so I misjudged the situation..."

The founding of the Daqian Dynasty had a huge impact on people's hearts throughout the world.

Add to that the so-called Qianzhu deity, whose authenticity is hard to tell...

The number of cases of surrendering and voluntarily submitting has increased significantly.

With the south stable, the Qian Kingdom naturally had more troops to mobilize to intensify the Northern Expedition...

I gradually figured out the reason, but what can I do now that I understand it?

Now that we are all prisoners, what’s the point?

Murong Fu was depressed for a long, long time. Suddenly he thought of something and tried to cheer himself up.

Things...are not the worst yet!

He is not alone!

He still has a father!

I failed on my side, but maybe the situation on my father's side is very good?

You must know that Daqian started his uprising in Jiangnan, and his father was working there at the beginning. Even the various prophecies at the beginning were planned by his father. It can be said that the Jiangnan riot was directly or indirectly fueled by his father!

With my father's ability, he must have seen that the Daqian forces, which were still rebels at the time, were extremely powerful. Wouldn't he take advantage of the situation and join them?!

And once he joins, with his father's strategy and wisdom, will he not be able to occupy a place? ?

Murong Fu is confident about this!

Or rather, he was willing to believe it.

Especially now that he is trapped and captured!

It's like a life-saving straw!

Murong Fu could only comfort himself with this so as not to feel completely desperate.

The elite strength of the Qian army directly shattered his ambitions.

The kind that is broken into pieces!

Five thousand men went to fight against a thousand on the other side, but in the end their entire army was annihilated while the enemy was only lightly injured. Murong Fu fought to the death only to receive such an outcome, how could his mentality not be broken!?

The strength of this army is so outrageous that it is shocking!

What kind of army would be composed entirely of martial arts masters?!

Every elite among them can be compared with his four retainers in martial arts, but in the Qian army, they are just elite soldiers, with such a strong foundation, it is so terrifying!

"If my father really joined in, what position would he be in now?"

A general? A commander?

Murong Fu even carefully considered whether the name of each commander whose reputation was spread might be his father's pseudonym.

As for the civil officials, he did not think much about them. One reason was that he did not know much about them. Civil officials governed the rear, and their reputation and prestige would naturally be much lower than those of the commanders fighting on the front lines. Another reason was that in troubled times, military power was the most important. If his father really joined them, he would definitely plan for military power rather than the power to govern the rear. This was a very natural judgment.

Not to mention, when he thought about it, there were indeed one or two names that he felt might be his father's pseudonym.

Murong Fu felt vaguely excited, but soon became depressed again.

Even if what he guessed might be true, the question was, how was he going to contact his father?

What if the Qian army killed him as a prisoner?

There will be nothing to say by then.

"No! I, Murong Fu, must live! I absolutely cannot die like this! I still have the great cause of restoring my country to complete! I absolutely cannot die!"

Murong Fu gritted his teeth and cheered himself up secretly.

However, the next day, he lost his composure.

"What are you doing!? Where are you taking me!?"

The two elite soldiers on his left and right stared at him coldly. One of them said, "Murong Fu, right? I'll send you to a public trial!"

Murong Fu's face suddenly changed. Since the Qian army started its uprising, who hasn't heard of the name of a public trial?!

If this had happened in the past, he wouldn't have had to worry about anything.

The so-called public trial, although it is necessary to enumerate the crimes and decide whether to kill or punish, but it is actually relatively harsh to reach the point of killing. Only those who have done something really harmful to the world and have committed countless crimes will be killed cleanly and neatly. Otherwise, generally speaking, most people will be sentenced to labor reform.

Murong Fu traveled around the world, and although he didn't talk about chivalry and justice, at least he acted in an upright manner. If he wanted to recruit heroes from all over the world, how could he do so without acting in an upright manner?

If he had faced this so-called public trial back then, he wouldn't have had to worry. However, times have changed. Since he started his rebellion, he's been envious of the Qian army's power and popular support, wanting to emulate its rise to prominence. But such a thing is incredibly difficult. It demands extremely high levels of discipline from soldiers, and they need a certain level of knowledge. If they were just ignorant scoundrels, how could they be expected to judge good from evil? Who should be killed? Who shouldn't? They'd probably just act arbitrarily, imposing arbitrary sentences.

This will not only fail to replicate the path of the Qian army and win the hearts of the people, but will instead do more harm than good.

In fact, this is too far-fetched. He has no time, energy or conditions to implement it. He can only think about it at most. The discipline issue alone is difficult to achieve. After the first small city was successfully captured, the two thousand soldiers entered the city and plundered it for a while, causing complaints from the people in the city. Later, in order to capture the city faster and to boost morale and combat effectiveness, he gave the condition of searching for three days for any city that was captured as an incentive.

The effect was indeed remarkable, although it was inevitable that some things got out of control afterwards, and many people were looted and killed...

But in his opinion, there is no need to pay so much attention to the initial expansion. It is enough to use all means to capture cities and strengthen strength. Even if it harms the interests of some people for this, it is undoubtedly worth it.
