Chapter 402
Zong Luohu was stunned.
He never expected that this was the situation, and the soldiers rushed out of the city to surrender.
"Those who surrender will be killed without mercy."
Unfortunately, there were only a few soldiers who followed the orders, and they could not stop the soldiers who surrendered to the Tang army.
After Zong Luohu controlled the situation and closed the city gate, only more than 10,000 elite soldiers were left in the city.
"Go and report to His Majesty."
Zong Luohu's face looked ugly. He could have expected that Xue Rengao would be furious after hearing the news.
He looked up at the sky. There was no starlight, only a crescent moon hung in the darkness, emitting a faint light.
Western Qin is about to perish...
Outside the city, the Tang army looked at the Western Qin soldiers who came to surrender and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
With so many people coming to surrender, the troops in the city will inevitably be empty.
Liu Wenjing was secretly happy and said to Li Shimin: "Marson, Gaoji City is now empty in its troops. At this time, he will definitely be able to conquer it in one fell swoop."
"Yes, Marshal, we are in high spirits now. If we don't attack at this time, when will we wait?" Yin Kaishan advised.
Fang Xuanling disagreed with their words: "The two armies go to war, and casualties are inevitable. We just used firearms to shock the enemy and force them to surrender. Now that our firearms are not used up yet, why not continue?
"When all the soldiers of the Western Qin surrendered to us, Xue Rengao had no soldiers available, and he had to surrender even if he didn't want to surrender."
"That's right." Du Ruhui echoed Fang Xuanling: "Since there is a way to prevent our soldiers from sacrificing, why not do this?"
The two of them made Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan speechless.
If you persist at this time, wouldn’t you take the lives of soldiers seriously?
Liu Wenjing's eyes swept at the soldiers around her and silently closed her mouth.
Li Shimin immediately ordered: "Continue to project."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xue Rengao was furious when he heard the news that the soldiers guarding the city opened the city gate and surrendered to Li Shimin: "A bastard, I want to kill them."
Both sides were silent.
Everyone has run away, how can I kill him?
After a while of silence, Chu Liang suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, now we only have 10,000 troops left, and we cannot resist the Tang army. Why not... let's surrender."
As soon as this statement was made, the other ministers agreed: "Yes, your majesty, let us surrender."
"You..." Xue Rengao looked at them angrily, trying to curse, but he couldn't find any words to curse.
Everyone knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty, surrender."
Xue Rengao was so angry that he almost vomited blood, "You...you..."
These dog stuff!
He gave them glory and wealth. At the critical moment, they could not resist foreign enemies, but they would only ask him to surrender, which was simply a bastard.
"You want to surrender to the enemy is equivalent to rebellion. Come and drag them out and kill them."
The imperial guards were stunned. These were not two or three people, but dozens of civil and military ministers, and many of them were their relatives. They could not do it if they were asked to arrest their relatives and send them to the guillotine.
The so-called law does not punish the masses, so many people, and they are the strongest ministers of the state, so they cannot die.
Seeing that the Imperial Guards were not moving for a long time, Xue Rengao became even more angry and shouted: "Are you deaf? Can't you hear my order? Or do you want to rebel too?"
With such serious accusations, the Imperial Guards were so scared that they knelt down: "I dare not."
"Then drag them all out and behead them."
Chu Liang and other ministers felt a little disappointed when they heard this.
But the Imperial Guard said he didn't dare, but he still didn't respond in his actions.
Xue Rengao was greatly stimulated and fell on the couch: "...you...good...good..."
At this time, a guard hurriedly ran in: "Your Majesty, someone has surrendered to the Tang army again..."
"puff......"
Xue Rengao spewed out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.
"His Majesty......"
------------
At dawn, Xue Rengao, who was pale-faced, walked out of Gaojin City with heavy steps and led all civil and military officials to surrender to Li Shimin.
The Western Qin soldiers behind him put down their weapons and surrendered to the Tang army.
On this day, Li Shimin accepted Xue Rengao's elite troops and 50,000 people from Gaoqian City, and then ordered Fang Xuanling to draft a proclamation, circulating the prefectures and counties under the Western Qin Dynasty.
Wherever the proclamation went, prefectures and counties surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and at this point, the Western Qin Dynasty was destroyed.
In the Guanlong land, no one covets Chang'an anymore.
Half a month later, Li Shimin returned to the court and was warmly welcomed by the people of Chang'an.
Li Yuan was overjoyed and issued an order to behead dozens of people including Xue Rengao and Zong Luohu in the downtown area. Li Shimin took the opportunity to ask Li Yuan for prisoners of war, including Chu Liang, who was well-known.
But Li Yuan had no reason to respond to Li Shimin's request, and immediately agreed to Li Shimin's request, promoted Li Shimin to the Grand Marshal, restored Liu Wenjing's official position, and appointed him as Minister of Revenue, and led the left Pushe of Xingtai, Xingtai, and the East Shaanxi Road.
Yin Kaishan, Liu Hongji, Murong Luohu and others who were captured by Western Qin all returned to their original positions. Qin Shubao, Su Dingfang and other soldiers who followed the army to fight were also rewarded accordingly for their merits.
After the army invaded the west returned to Chang'an, Wang Yu asked the soldiers about the war, drew a picture album overnight, and handed it over to Li Yuan for review.
On this day, Changsun suddenly said to Li Shimin: "I want to go to Shiwen Club to have a look."
Although whenever Shiwen Club had something new, Manager Li would send someone to the Qin Prince's Mansion, whenever he heard Qishui's description, Changsun could not help but feel excited and wanted to see what was going on.
"You're so big, aren't you afraid of getting tired?" Li Shimin stared at her towering belly, a little worried.
"Don't be afraid." Changsun shook his head gently and said, "The imperial physician said that you should walk more in the last three months, so that it will be easier when giving birth."
"So, then go." Li Shimin immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage.
I don’t know what I thought of, Changsun pulled Li Shimin’s sleeve: “Don’t clear the market, just travel in a simple manner, I don’t want to attract attention.”
She wanted to see what Shiwen Club looked like on weekdays, and also wanted to go out and experience the lives of the people.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Li Shimin has always met these small requests.
Half an hour later, Li Shimin's carriage was parked in a street in Xicheng City. He carefully helped Changsun get off the carriage, and walked towards Shiwenshe with two maids and two guards.
I haven't left the house for a long time. Seeing the bustling street market, Changsun showed a happy smile and his eyes kept shuttled between the shops.
"The Shiwen Club is ahead, let's go and have a look."
Li Shimin personally supported Changsun, slowly walked up the steps, and stepped into the gate of Shiwen Society.
".........At this critical moment, the white-hoofed mount under the King of Qin was like lightning, quickly dodging the arrows shot by the enemy, and rushed into Zong Luohu's array without stopping.
"The King of Qin drove the white-hoofed blacks to rush left and right, just like a sword unraveling the enemy's body, destroying its internal organs, and destroying its lives. It was like a bamboo shoot, and the enemy was beaten to the point where it was falling flowers and water, and the piss was flowing.
"The two armies are fighting fiercely. The Qin King's mount, white hoof, was hit by six arrows, but he still fought side by side with the Qin King. It's really shocking the world and the ghosts and gods..."
