Chapter five hundred and twentieth Yongnian City descends

Liu Heita was willing to surrender, and when the news came out, the soldiers of Zhao army all showed disbelief.

Who is Liu Heita? The leader of the Hebei Rebel Army after Dou Jiande. The Zhao army had suffered a lot of hardships before Liu Heita.

And the current strong man is really willing to surrender to the city.

Everyone said that this might be Liu Heita's temporary solution, and some even said that Liu Heita wanted to numb our army and take the opportunity to break through.

All the answers to the mystery were finally left the next day.

On this day, the snow flies and the world is quiet.

The gate of Yongnian City opened, and a small boat rowed out of the city gate.

The Xia army general Liu Heita stood on the bow of the boat like an iron tower. He stood quietly in a black cloak, and there was no one on the boat except for a Liu Jun soldier who was at the helm behind the ship.

"It's really Liu Heita!"

Pei Ju confirmed the other party's identity on Tushan in the east of the city. At that time, the Zhao army's naval general Liu Heita himself welcomed the Tushan.

Li Chongjiu and Liu Heita looked at each other.

"King Zhao!"

"General!"

The two nodded and looked at each other and smiled. Li Chongjiu said to the table: "There is no fine wine in the army, only Hedong Ganhe. Can you drink the two-year-old wine?"

Liu Heita touched his beard and said, "It's best to have three years of drinking. King Zhao is stingy, but having wine is better than not."

Li Chongjiu smiled, and the two sat opposite each other. Liu Heita raised his glass and drank it all, very heroic. Li Chongjiu smiled and added another cup to Liu Heita.

Liu Heita stroked the wine glass and said, "This wine is for King Zhao to conquer Yongnian City and pacify Hebei, and celebrate the function."

Li Chongjiu said: "I didn't expect the war in Hebei so soon. So the wine to celebrate is still on the way, and this is just used for logarithm."

Liu Heita's eyes were condensed. He looked at Li Chongjiu and said with a cold smile: "Your words are not true. Can you ask where the Turks have been beaten?"

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Even if there are small enemies on the border, it is not a problem."

Liu Heita looked disbelief on his face, but then he smiled and said, "It's useless to say these things at this moment, so I won't ask you anything else. I dare to ask how King Zhao would treat these brothers who have followed them for many years."

Li Chongjiu said in his words: "Those who want to stay will stay, and those who don't want to stay will be released."

Liu Heita said, "I want to exempt Hebei from tuition for three years. Can King Zhao agree?"

Li Chongjiu said in his words: "I have the intention to exempt you from the tribute, but this is the kindness of the Zhao court. What does it have to do with you? If you ask for it, the people of Hebei will only be grateful to you, Liu Heita's kindness in the future, which will not be beneficial to the orphans and cannot agree."

Liu Heita laughed and said, "Your King Zhao would not give me the face of Old Liu. Believe it or not. Even if you kill me now, Yongnian City will not surrender. The city can still be kept for one month. Then wait for the Turks to attack the city."

Li Chongjiu said, "If you don't kill a person with no swordsmanship, what's wrong with letting you go? Yongnian City is in the eyes of the lonely person, and you can put your palms down. So what if you're late, you can go back to the city to prepare for war, and see if the Turkic reinforcements you are looking forward to will come to the city."

Li Chongjiu's words were loud and clear. Liu Heita's face was also astonished, and he could not guess the Turkic people from Li Chongjiu's face. Wherever he attacked, he could not get the exact news. In this way, the soldiers of Yongnian City had no confidence to stick to it. What a good Li Chongjiu's city mansion was too deep, and he didn't even give me the last chance.

Or this is fate. Liu Heita raised his head, snow fell, his face cooled down, and he took a deep breath, and a breath of whiteness spread out in front of him.

Liu Heita looked at Li Chongjiu and said, "No matter how you say that Zhao is from Hebei, don't be cheaper than Li Tang."

After saying that, Liu Heita turned his wrist and a dagger was exposed in his hand. Seeing this scene, Xue Wanche, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and other generals who were surrounding Li Chongjiu, they drew their swords and protected Li Chongjiu to the death.

Ji Chuan shouted, "On the King of Guards."

“Get out of here.”

Li Chongjiu shouted loudly and pushed the guard aside, but saw that the dagger had been inserted into Liu Heita's heart.

The generals' movements suddenly stopped, but they saw Liu Heita's body slowly falling backwards and slamming heavily on the ground.

Li Chongjiu stepped forward and saw that Liu Heita had died in front of him.

Then a thud of water came, and Liu Heita's follower also committed suicide by crossing his sword on the boat and fell into the water.

"General!"

On the wall of the east city, the Xia army soldiers cried out in tears.

Li Chongjiu walked to Liu Heita's corpse, bowed to him, and said, "Brother Liu is away!"

When the generals on both sides saw it, they also clanged their swords and clasped their fists and said, "Go away!"

Seeing this scene, a crying sound came from the top of Yongnian City, and then a white flag was picked out.

Yongnian City surrenders!

"The criminal Ling Jing bowed to King Zhao!"

On the earthy mountain in the east of the city, Li Chongjiu smiled and helped Ling Jing up, saying, "Xuansu has always recommended Ling Jiji to you in front of me. Now I feel like I have a hand in hand."

Ling Jing smiled bitterly and said, "The King of Zhao has praised it. The criminals served as King of Xia one after another, and the generals were all defeated. What is my appearance? I will serve as Zhao again, but I just want to return to the countryside."

Li Chongjiu said on the side: "Zhao Zhengtang in the world is still undecided. Gu Zhijiu needs a wise minister like Ling Jijiu to help him. Why should he retreat in a hurry?"

Ling Jing glanced at Zhang Xuansu of Li Chongjiu and said, "With Zhang Xuansu's help, isn't it ten times better than me? I'm just adding to my snails."

Li Chongjiu tried to keep a few more words, but seeing that Ling Jing was very strong, Li Chongjiu stopped persuading him and said to his left and right: "Give Ling a wine and give him twenty taels of gold to spend his old age."

Ling Jing was quite surprised and said, "The King of Zhao is a kind-hearted lord. Before leaving, he wanted to persuade King Zhao to be good at appeaseing the people of Hebei. However, King Zhao is so tolerant of sinners like me, so why worry about not being able to treat the people like this? Seven years after Daye, Hebei has been in chaos for ten years, and after the chaos, it is necessary to control it. A wise lord like King Zhao is really needed to suppress it. The general's lifelong efforts will not be wasted," said King Xia."

After saying that, Ling Jing did not accept the gift from Li Chongjiu and left with a long smile.

When all the generals saw Ling Jing like this, they couldn't help but praise Xu Yan's name, they were really many strange men in Hebei.

Later, Liu Heita's younger brother Liu Shishan was escorted by two soldiers and brought to Li Chongjiu.

Before Liu Shishan arrived in front of him, he spoke loudly: "Don't surrender and ask for death!"

Li Chongjiu said, "I will let you and your brother be buried together."

At that moment, Liu Shishan burst into tears and said, "Brother, you didn't listen to my words at the beginning, and today there is this day."

"Slow down, what's the point?" Li Chongjiu asked.

Pei Ju said on the side: "When Liu Shishan advised Liu Heita to break through from Yongnian City and go to Shandong to join Xu Yuanlang and Meng Haigong."

Li Chongjiu waved his hand and said, "Liu Heita has such a brother in his lifetime!"

After saying that, Liu Shishan was taken down and executed.

After Liu Shishan was taken away, Zhang Junli and others were the commanders of the Xia army. These generals were very well-versed and understood that the Xia army had been destroyed, but they were unwilling to return to their hometowns to cultivate the fields. These people were willing to lead their troops to be reorganized into the Zhao army.

The rest were civil officials of the Xia army. Kong Shaode, the Minister of the Inner History, immediately presented the jade seal, and stepped forward, bowed to Li Chongjiu and said, "The jade seal and military talismans of the Xia Kingdom are all here. Please check it out."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Since Ji Chuan took over the Jade Seal and Military Talisman to check, Kong Shaode now regarded himself as a meritorious minister. As early as before Li Chongjiu attacked Xia, he was instigated by Zhang Xuansu and passed on a lot of news to the Zhao army.

Kong Shaode came from the Kong family of Kuaiji, a gentry in Jiangnan. After Kong Shaode, he was the minister Cui Junsu, and the other party came from the Cui family of Qinghe.

Kong Shaode and Cui Junsu are both mediocre ministers. It can be said that whether they are doing things for Dou Jiande or Liu Heita, they are all corpses and food, but there is no way to say that there is a halo of aristocratic families behind the other party.

Li Chongjiu immediately comforted the two of them and agreed to the arrangement of their ministers, Cui Junsu, Kong Shaode and more than a dozen officials from the aristocratic race, even though Liu Heita Shang's body was not cold at this time.

Seeing this, Li Chongjiu was not careful and could not talk about Ling Jing from a poor family, Cui Junsu, Pei Ju and others.

No matter whether the surname Li, Liu, Dou, or even Yuwen in Hebei, the surname is just a change of king flag on the top of the city, these aristocratic families rooted in Hebei will not change. This can be easily seen from the two five-year-olds who have served in the five dynasties in history.

The real dynasty changes in history were all counted by Huang Chao, Zhu Wen, and Zhu Yuanzhang, while Yang Jian and Li Yuan were just changing their skin.

For Li Chongjiu, who came from a poor family, should he change his bones and marrow or just change his skin?

"You are here to report to King Zhao, Dou Jiande's wife Cao, and Dou Jiande's son. How can you deal with it?"

Li Chongjiu turned his head, but saw a woman holding a baby in her cradle and looking at him with a stern look. The woman's coarse cloth thorn hairpin was not seen at all as the charm of Queen Xia.

Li Chongjiu heard this and said, "Are you Cao?"

The woman said, "My husband is still here, please ask King Zhao to call my family Mrs. Dou."

Li Chongjiu said, "This is a lonely mistake. Mrs. Dou is very virtuous. When Leshouhou proclaimed himself emperor, you and your wife had only a few houses and only a dozen servants, so they were honest. What do you want now?"

The woman held the child in her arms in her arms and said in tears: "The State of Xia has been destroyed. How can there be eggs under the collapse of the nest? It's okay for me to die. But the child is innocent. But please be kind to King Zhao, let the child be fostered and fostered to an ordinary family, and grow up safely."

Li Chongjiu said, "You can even be with you, Leshouhou, let alone your wife. You are awarded the title of Leshouhou as hereditary to Leshouhou, and you will be arranged to go to Yuyi Town to reunite with Leshouhou's family."

The woman stood still when she heard this. Kong Shaode pulled the woman on the side and whispered: "Your grace is not worthy of thanking you."

"Forget it," Li Chongjiu smiled and stood up and said, "Let's go to Yuyi Town first to be wronged. If it is peaceful in Hebei ten years later, I promise you to move back to your hometown in Hebei. Although you can't be the lord of Hebei, you will not be a Marquis of Anle forever."
