On the morning of February 27th, Zhong Shidao led more than 100,000 Western troops to move forward. At this moment, they were only more than 300 miles away from Chengdu!
At this time, news came from the front that the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji had surrendered to Daliang and dedicated his Chengdu Mansion to the Daliang army!
This news reached the Western Army, and immediately the entire Western Army was in an uproar! Originally, Emperor Zhao Huan surrendered, and the morale of the Western Army was already unstable. Now that the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji also surrendered, the Western Army immediately lost any morale! Almost every Western Army
The soldiers felt that they had no desire to fight! The emperor and the emperor were gone, and the Song Dynasty had been destroyed. Who were they fighting for?
The Western Army was in chaos. More than ten senior generals of the Western Army, including Zhong Shidao, Qu Duan, Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Yao Pingzhong, etc., stood on a high slope. Their faces were also very ugly. :Read the novel
"The Supreme Emperor really surrendered to Daliang?" Master Zhong said.
"It can't be wrong! Now the news has spread around Chengdu, and countless local people have seen the Emperor hand over the jade seal to General Daliang!" Qu Duan said.
"Heaven is going to destroy our Song Dynasty! Why? Why?!" Zhong Shidao shouted to the sky. After a while, tears burst into his face.
"Sir, you don't need to be so sad! There is no dynasty in this world that lasts forever. How powerful the Han and Tang Dynasties were in those days, didn't they also perish in the end? The replacement of dynasties is the law of heaven and earth, and it is inevitable! Although the current Daliang is strong, but
I believe that in a few hundred years Daliang will perish like the Song Dynasty now!" Qu Duan advised.
Zhong Shidao just cried bitterly there, and Wu Jie, Wu Lin and other generals of the Western Army next to him also felt very unhappy! Their Western Army was originally to defend Xixia, but after the rise of Liangshan, they regarded Liangshan as their formidable enemy! But now,
Before their hundreds of thousands of Western troops started fighting with Liangshan, the two kings of the Song Dynasty surrendered to Liangshan, and the war could not continue at all.
"The Emperor has surrendered to Daliang, who are we going to fight for? Why don't we surrender too?" Yao Pingzhong said.
After he finished speaking, there was silence all around! Although the generals of the Western Army did not speak, they all knew that Yao Pingzhong was right, and there was really no need for them to continue fighting now.
"Liangshan is kind to those who surrender. If we surrender, Liangshan will never make things difficult for us! However, we can no longer serve in the army from now on!" Qu Duan sighed.
"It's down!" Wu Jie also said at this moment.
Wu Jie and Wu Lin are famous generals in history. Their achievements in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty were even greater than those of Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi and others! But now that the Song Dynasty has reached this point, it is difficult for them to insist on protecting the Song Dynasty!
The surrounding Western generals spoke one after another and agreed to surrender.
"In that case, let's surrender!" Zhongshidao said with a long sigh.
"Sir, have you also decided to surrender?" Qu Duan said in surprise.
What he fears most is that Zhongshi Dao is stubborn and refuses to surrender! If Zhongshi Dao refuses to surrender, he, as a close confidant of Zhongshi Dao, may not be able to surrender. At that time, he may have no choice but to die.
"If we don't surrender, what will we do? Even if I want to fight, the soldiers will not continue fighting with us!" Zhong Shidao said with a bitter smile.
The surrounding generals nodded one after another. Now there was no morale in the army at all, and no general could drive the army in front of him.
"You all go down, I want to think about it quietly!" Zhong Shidao sighed.
Qu Duan, Wu Jie, Wu Lin and others walked down, leaving only Zhong Shidao standing on the high slope! His tears had already stopped, but now he was crying bitterly again.
Looking at the Western Army below, I saw that the soldiers of the Western Army were in chaos. Many soldiers had begun to flee in various directions, unwilling to go to Chengdu again.
"The Song Dynasty is over! I was born as a disciple of the Song Dynasty, and died as a ghost of the Song Dynasty! Since the Song Dynasty is dead, I must die for the country! I will never be a citizen of Liang!" After a long time, the cultivation of the master has grown.
Sighed.
He stood up straight, his hair and beard were messy and fluttering in the wind! He slowly pulled out the long sword from his waist, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed! The guards in the distance saw something was wrong with Master Zhong's situation.
, they were about to come over, Zhong Shidao had already swung his sword towards his neck, and he was bleeding profusely!
By the time the guards came over, Zhong Shidao had already fallen into a pool of blood and was not breathing!
"My lord! My lord!" the guards nearby shouted anxiously, but they could never save Zhong Shidao's life!
He would rather die than be a loyal minister, and now he has realized his wish.
The death of Zhongshi Dao plunged the entire Western Army into sadness. Many soldiers of the Western Army originally planned to flee for their lives, but now they all stopped and consciously paid homage to Zhongshi Dao.
On the same day, Hu Yanting and Yang Jian arrived. After the two read Zhao Ji's imperial edict, all the more than 100,000 Western troops here surrendered! Yue Fei and Yang Zhi had promised to allow these Western Army soldiers to return home to serve the people, and in order to ensure their smooth journey, Liangshan
A dispatch fee was also distributed to them, which made the soldiers of the Western Army heave a sigh of relief.
Yue Fei and Yang Zhi couldn't help but sigh after hearing the news that Zhong Shidao had committed suicide and martyred his country. They then ordered Zhong Shidao to be buried with a grand burial, not to mention this.
At this point, Bashu was restored to peace.

In late March of the second year of Datong, the envoys of Liangshan came to Fujian. Here, the envoys of Liangshan read out the imperial edicts of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan! King Kang Zhao Gou had no desire to resist and immediately agreed to surrender.
In early April, Yang Zhi's First Army entered Fujian, Guangdong and other places.
At this time, there was still sporadic resistance in Jiangnan, but as the major armies of Liangshan entered here, peace gradually returned to various places.
In June of the second year of Datong, Liangshan finally achieved unification of the world!
Zhao Ji had just arrived in Yanjing City at this moment. He looked at Yanjing City and was filled with emotions. This Yanjing City was the place his ancestors had only dreamed of. Both Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi wanted to regain Yanjing City.
However, all the emperors of the Song Dynasty failed to achieve this goal! Now Yanjing City does belong to the Han people, but it has nothing to do with the Song Dynasty!
"Where is the prince?" Zhao Ji and Yang Jian were together. Yang Jian came to Yanjing City before him and already knew the situation in Yanjing City quite well, so Yang Jian is now Zhao Ji's guide.
"The prince lives in a large manor outside Yanjing City, but he also has a house in Yanjing City! Daliang is indeed kind to the monarchs of all countries. As long as the prince does not leave the 300 miles of Yanjing City, he can move around freely! If the prince wants to go
It’s okay to travel far away, you just need to apply to the Zhong Province in Daliang, and they will usually agree!” Yang Jian said.
"That's really good!" Zhao Ji nodded. He was a little worried about his fate at first, but now it seems that these kings of subjugated countries have much better luck than the kings of subjugated countries in history!
"Your Majesty, I will take you to see the prince!" Yang Jian said.
At this moment, Yang Jian and Zhao Ji headed towards a house in the west of Yanjing City. This magnificent house was Zhao Huan's residence! They waited here for a long time, but never saw Zhao Huan arrive. Yang Jian said: "Your Majesty
, there is a meeting in Daliang now, and the prince may have gone to attend the meeting."
