Chapter 1935 Rumors and Breakthrough
The cruelest thing in the world is waiting for death. Sudden death is not painful, but if you know that you are about to die and are powerless, it is the most painful thing.
Rumors had already appeared in the army of Tianzhu. Yepolo suddenly drew the elite troops from the front line back to Qunu City, which naturally shook the morale of the army.
The whole army began to inquire about the news in panic. The people who were transferred were naturally secretly happy. For them, this was hope for life, but for those who stayed, fools knew what this meant.
It is inevitable that the army will be in turmoil, but for Jepolo, he can no longer control these things. He must use this opportunity to lead the army to break through. Only in this way can he survive.
Think about how cold the heart of an emperor who could order the massacre of nearly 600,000 people had? Yepolo believed that if he fell into the hands of the Song army, he would definitely be unable to escape death.
The cold reality is in front of him. This is not a multiple-choice question for Yepolo. As long as he can leave Qunu City, he can even be a powerful man with a high caste in hiding his name.
He wanted to take the elite and wealth of Tianzhu to leave Qunu City and settle down to the north, where he left a way out for himself early.
Over the years, Yepolo had thought about the price of fighting head-on with the Song Dynasty. He was a cautious person and liked to leave a way out for his family when doing things.
So while he was in a relationship with the Song Dynasty, he ordered people to transfer the wealth in the palace to the north.
But at the beginning, he didn't care, just planned to have a cunning rabbit in three holes. In his opinion, the worst result of the evil between the Song Dynasty was just being scolded by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Who cares about such unpainable and unpainable things?
Even after Peng Jialuo was defeated, Yepolo's thoughts still did not change. He didn't even believe that the Seljuk envoy Tuoerke would not be able to defeat the nearly 500,000 Indian army, no matter how powerful the Song army was, it would not be able to defeat the nearly 500,000 Indian army.
But the facts once again slapped the face. Shi Yuansun's Song army not only defeated the 500,000 Indian army, but also continued to counterattack, capturing Nalanda Temple and most of the cities east of Qunun City.
Now that the Song army was approaching his subordinates, Yepolo regretted that he did not follow Tuanke's advice at the time, and now it is too late to regret it even if he wants to.
Of course, since the outbreak of the war between Tianzhu and the Song Dynasty, Tianzhu has been sending envoys to the Song Dynasty. From the beginning, Tianzhu did not want to have a war with the Song Dynasty.
Even if Yepolo was arrogant and indifferent to the past, he knew the powerful national strength and amazing combat power of the Song Dynasty, in his eyes, all this was just a small matter.
Since he plundered the merchants of the Song Dynasty, it was natural for the Song Dynasty to come and blame him. The loss to Tianzhu by cutting off the business route was not small. In fact, he was already ready to surrender to the Song Dynasty.
But more and more conflicts of interest continue to emerge. Who knew that those abandoned untouchables and lower castes would actually be prosperous in the Qilanbu Liguojian of the Song Dynasty.
This made people envious. Yepolo did not withstand the suggestions and pressures around him, and finally made a foolish choice to start a war with the Song Dynasty, which also caused the Song army to counterattack wildly.
After losing it, Peng Jialuo did not say that he was also given the excuse of sending troops to Tianzhu.
Na Yepolo knew that if he had begged for peace from the Song Dynasty before the Song army attacked and ceded Pengjialuo's land, there would not have been such a situation today.
It was my own temporary greed and arrogance that made the situation come to this point today.
Since there is no way to negotiate, then give up. The Song people have a saying: "If you stop and continue to suffer from chaos." This is what I am now. I didn't seize the opportunity, but now I can.
………………………………………
After the sky was dim, Yepolo planned to evacuate with the elite troops in Qunun City. When the Song army divided the troops, it meant that the city could no longer bear it.
Eighty thousand elites in India gathered in the city with a large amount of food and grass. When night fell, all the high castes in the city also surrounded them.
Everyone knows what will happen if they stay. Even if the Song army does not kill them, they will not be able to maintain their current wealth and honor. If they want to live a good life, they should still leave with the emperor of the Polo dynasty.
They can still live a good life when they go to the north. No matter how long the Song army's hands are, they cannot travel through the entire India. It doesn't matter if they abandon Qunnu City at the moment, they still have gold!
The most fundamental reason why these high castes supported Najepolo's rule was that a lot of their gold had been transported away by this emperor.
It was said before that it was for the safety of their wealth, and they were worried that gold would be left by the Song people. After all, the fire burned half of the Qunnian City, but now all their wealth is under the control of Yepolo.
Even if they don’t want to surrender and follow, there is no way. The high castes now have no choice but to follow Jepolo and support all his ideas, otherwise the gold will have nothing to do with them.
Who is willing to give up the wealth accumulated by a family for generations?
With Naepolo's order, the thick city gate finally slowly opened after being besieged for half a month, and countless people began to rush out, but these people were not soldiers, nor high castes, nor Naepolo's imperial convoy, but ordinary people in the city.
They had been shrouded in fear for too long, and their anxiety had been brewing in their hearts. Many people even began to dig tunnels to leave the city, but were all seen and killed in public by soldiers guarding the city.
Such behavior is the biggest panic for defending the city. If you do not kill, more people will follow suit.
The only way for the people in the city to go out is to pass through the city gate, but the city gate has been blocked and no one can go out through the city gate.
But now it is different. The city gate was opened by Jepolo. The panicked people have already been waiting here, hoping to rush out and escape as soon as the city gate is opened.
There are terrifying legends about the Song army circulating in the city. I heard that in Seljuk in the north, the Song army ate a lot of people in the city...
The rumors about who spread were less than a bad one now, but one thing is certain. To the people of Qunnu City, the Song army was an evil ghost from hell.
They were going to leave the city so as not to be massacred after the Song army broke through the city.
The city gate was opened, and countless people rushed out of the city. They were in a panic and had no power to protect themselves. Instead, they would become the target of the Song army's massacre.
Nayepolo did not approach the city gate, but was waiting. In just one incense stick, about 10,000 people rushed out of the city, and more people would leave next.
These people will become tricks to cover themselves and disrupt the deployment of the Song army. Now chaos is much more useful than chaos after the city is surrounded.
