The armies of the various powerful families who had risen up in the city opened the gates to welcome them into the city.
Huan Naxue and Lin Feng led their troops into the city like a tidal wave and quickly made contact with Chen Xuan's troops who were attacking the Prime Minister's residence.
The two forces joined forces and swept away the remaining resistance in the city with overwhelming force.
Yang Yan's die-hard followers, who were putting up a stubborn resistance, were quickly annihilated, and a large number of the defending troops, seeing that the situation was hopeless, surrendered one after another.
An hour later, the fighting in Xijing City had basically subsided.
This former capital, having endured the baptism of blood and fire, was restored!
The recapture of Xijing also signifies the return of Guannei Road, freeing Longyou and Hedong from their obstruction.
Zhao Muyun's territory expanded from a single area east of the river to a region encompassing three provinces.
From then on, he single-handedly built up the small court after the fall of the Great Yin Dynasty, which finally had a vast territory and the confidence to fight Li Jingang!
Soon, the vanguard of the Liangzhou advance army, led by Wu Shangzhi and Tang Yanhai, arrived west of Xijing City.
Upon seeing the familiar flag, Lin Feng was overjoyed, while Huan Naxue's eyes filled with tears.
Lin Feng was surprised that Zhao Muyun sent troops to support him so quickly, while Huan Naxue was excited to see her husband soon.
Lin Feng and Huan Naxue's Xiazhou army and Wu Shangzhi and Tang Yanhai's Liangzhou army successfully joined forces.
Having abandoned darkness for light, Chen Xuan brought the heads of various noble families from Xijing to see him.
"General Chen is a man of great righteousness. He helped our army to recover Xijing, and his contributions are great to the country!" Lin Feng said solemnly to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan quickly bowed and said, "I am ashamed. I was afraid of death before and lived a life of hiding under the traitors. I am sorry for the late General Zhang Zhongfang!"
"Now that we have welcomed the Great Yin royal army and recovered Xijing, we ask Governor Lin to hold us accountable."
"I have failed the Great Yin Dynasty, please punish me, Governor Lin!"
The heads of the powerful families behind him shouted.
Fearing retribution from the Hedong Army, they adopted a very low profile.
"I, Lin, am conveying the Grand Commander's order: those who repent will be pardoned for their past transgressions!"
Lin Feng said loudly, "You have rendered meritorious service in opening the gates, surrendering the city, and killing the enemy. You will be rewarded according to your merits."
"I, as the wife of the Grand Commander, promise the army that the Grand Commander's words are absolutely true."
Hearing Lin Feng's promise and with Huan Naxue's testimony, Chen Xuan and the others felt relieved.
"Gentlemen, clear the battlefield and prepare to welcome the Grand Commander!"
Lin Feng then loudly proclaimed.
"Welcome, Grand Commander!"
