The Wuchang city gate was only more than 300 steps away from Liu Tan's military formation, but Sun Quan was stunned to have walked away in just one stick of incense.
It seems that the feet of the kings and ministers of Soochow are tied down by something.
Of course, Liu Tan and the others did not rush. No matter how slow they were, they were not in a hurry at all.
Because no matter how slowly they walk, they will eventually come to the end and finally surrender to the big man's war horse.
Coming closer, Sun Quan lowered his noble head for the first time, and then said slowly and deeply: "Sun Quan of the Wu Kingdom, together with the royal family and ministers, respectfully welcome His Highness King Qin of the Han Dynasty."
After Sun Quan finished speaking, he slowly raised the wooden plate in his hand. There was a seal ribbon placed on the wooden plate.
Then, Sun Quan, hundreds of officials of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and members of the royal family knelt on the ground in order, waiting for Liu Tan, the eldest son of the Han Emperor, King Qin, to accept their surrender.
Liu Tan looked at Sun Quan who was kneeling on the ground, slowly raised his hand and said: "Surrender!"
As soon as Liu Tan finished speaking, a guard stepped forward quickly and took the seal ribbon from the wooden plate in Sun Quan's hand. The Kingdom of Wu, which had been founded for twenty-three years, was officially destroyed.
Before Sun Quan could get up, Liu Tan jumped off his horse, walked slowly to Sun Quan, helped Sun Quan up with a kind face, and said with a smile: "King Wu, please get up!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Sun Quan stood up slowly, looked at the young Liu Tan, and said pleadingly: "The Kingdom of Wu has surrendered to the Han Dynasty. I hope that Your Highness will abide by the previous agreement and treat our people of Wu Kingdom well!"
"Don't worry, King Wu!" Liu Tan said affirmatively: "We, the Han Dynasty, are a big country of faith. Now the soldiers and civilians of the nine counties of Soochow are all our subjects. I, the king, will treat them equally and will never kill anyone from Soochow."
"Thank you, King Qin!" Sun Quan thanked him, but Liu Tan ignored him and shouted loudly: "Enter the city!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
In an instant, more than 50,000 Han soldiers and generals shouted in unison that the Han Dynasty would last for ten thousand years. Sun Quan, the officials of Soochow, and the royal family all retreated to both sides in a wise manner. Liu Tan remounted his snow-white war horse, waved his whip, and led the army.
Fifty thousand men on foot and horse slowly entered Wuchang City.
After the Han army entered the city, the people of Wuchang were kneeling neatly on both sides of the street. No one of them spoke. Although the emperor chose to surrender, Wuchang was spared the disaster of swordsmanship.
However, as a citizen of Wu State, at this moment, they have become slaves of the subjugated country.
Although the people of Wuchang remained silent, 50,000 Han troops marched all the way into the city, shouting "Ten Thousand Years of Han Dynasty" all the way. The troops were neat and orderly, and the military was very majestic. The people of Wuchang also saw an army of kings.
How could the Soochow soldiers and horses defeat such a force?
A few hours later, the Han army took over the entire city defense of Wuchang, and the Wu army stationed in Wuchang all withdrew outside the city, waiting to be reorganized by the Han.
Wuchang Imperial Palace.
Liu Tan sat on a temporary wooden chair placed next to the throne. The throne was originally Sun Quan's throne. Sun Quan had chosen to surrender at this time, but Liu Tan did not dare to sit on it. After all, that chair could only be reserved for the emperor.
Qualified to sit.
In the main hall, Sun Quan, who was dressed in plain clothes, and more than a hundred important officials of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, all kneeled neatly on the main hall. On both sides of them were the main generals who followed Liu Tan to attack Dongwu. p>
"King Wu, please forgive me!" Liu Tan looked at Sun Quan. When Sun Quan stood up, Liu Tan said again: "King Wu, let's set off today to go to Chang'an to accept the imperial edict from the Emperor of Han Dynasty."
"No!" Sun Quan responded.
Sun Quan is the emperor. Although he has surrendered to Liu Tan, it is not Liu Tan's decision to make arrangements for him as the emperor.
As for the remaining Soochow courtiers, Liu Tan asked them all to return to their original posts, but now they had to govern according to the laws of the Han Dynasty. All the original Soochow laws were abolished.
......
Half a month later.
Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.
In the main hall stood neatly the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty, the Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty, sitting high on the throne. He was in a good mood today.
He finally met someone whom Cao Cao admired so much. He should give birth to a son, Sun Zhongmou!
"Sun Quan of the State of Wu, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
Sun Quan gave Liu Chan a big gift, but Liu Chan said with a smile: "King Wu, please forgive me. I have been looking forward to meeting King Wu these years, and I don't want to wait for so many years."
Sun Quan didn't say anything. He was now a subjugated king.
And Liu Chan is the winner.
"Give me a seat!" Liu Chan said loudly, and then two eunuchs moved a wooden chair into the main hall. When the wooden chair was placed on the side of the main hall, Sun Quan was attracted by the four words on the back of the chair.
Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.
These four words are particularly dazzling. Looking at this wooden chair, it looks very new, but it is not made recently. It seems to have been made for a long time.
Liu Chan said with a smile: "More than ten years ago, I made this chair for King Wu, and I have been waiting for King Wu to sit down." He paused before saying: "King Wu, please sit down!"
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Sun Quan's brows involuntarily moved slightly. Only then did he realize that Liu Adou had been preparing to destroy Soochow more than ten years ago, and even a chair had been prepared for him.<
/p>
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Quan thanked him and then walked slowly towards the chair Liu Chan prepared for him. But what surprised Liu Chan was that he did not hear the words of Sun Hao, the last emperor in the history of Soochow, Sun Quan's grandson.
words.
After Sun Hao surrendered to Sima Yan, Sima Yan prepared a seat for him; Sima Yan said to Sun Hao: "I have been preparing this seat for the public for a long time."
As a result, Sun Hao said calmly: "I am in Jiangdong, and I have prepared this seat for Your Majesty."
At the same time, the gap between the grandfather and the grandson of the subjugated king is still a bit big.
In the past, every time a war broke out between the Han Dynasty and Cao Wei, Sun Quan often sent troops to contain the Han Dynasty, becoming a constraining ally in the eyes of later generations.
For example, in the historical Jingzhou backstab, Erye Guan was captured and killed because of this. At that time, Liu Chan hated Sun Quan so much that he wanted to cut him into pieces with his own hands.
But today, when he appeared in the main hall of Weiyang Palace as the king of the subjugated country, the hatred in Liu Chan's heart disappeared involuntarily. Instead, he still felt some sympathy for this old man.
According to historical records, Sun Quan will complete his legendary life this year.
I don’t know if his time travel caused the butterfly effect to occur, and many historical figures who should have died long ago had their lives extended.
Although Sun Quan has experienced the subjugation of his country this time, his body and bones are still strong, and he does not look like a dying person at all.
Also, from Sun Quan's standpoint, whether he stabbed Guan Yu in the back or sent troops to restrain the Han, it was a very correct decision, because he was the emperor of Soochow and the Lord of Jiangdong. If he followed the Han's wishes in everything
Do.
Then he is not a qualified Emperor of Soochow and Lord of Jiangdong.
Now in his old age, he has become the king of a subjugated country.
Alas!
Liu Chan sighed secretly, and then said with a smile: "Since the King of Wu has surrendered to my great Han Dynasty, I will grant you the title of..." At this point, Liu Chan couldn't help but smile to himself, because he thought of the Three Kingdoms in history, when Liu Chan surrendered to Wei
He was named the Duke of Anle. Sun Hao surrendered to the Western Jin Dynasty and was named the Marquis of Guiming.
Neither of these two titles seems suitable for Sun Quan.
After all, from an objective position, Soochow was considered very powerful under the governance of Sun Quan. Being able to gain a foothold in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms is enough to prove that its talents are not low. It is by no means comparable to Sun Hao and Liu Chan in history.
This time the Han Dynasty destroyed Soochow, in fact, it relied on advanced weapons. Otherwise, it would be difficult to quickly destroy Soochow.
After a pause, Liu Chan said loudly: "I designate you... as the Marquis of Nanzheng, with a population of ten thousand households, and it is hereditary."
