Chapter 114: Gaoyang surrenders, the capital celebrates the third day of settlement



As for other things, he didn't say.

Because Song Hongzhi understood that he was a military general.

The duty of a military general is to defend his country. As for the future of Gaoyang Kingdom, it has nothing to do with him.

After all, matters concerning government should be left to His Majesty and the court officials to handle.

So after saying this.

Song Hongzhi didn't say much and got on his horse.

Deputy General Wang gave a wink, and a group of Wei soldiers behind him understood what he meant. They immediately stepped forward and surrounded King Gaoyang and the ministers one by one.

Although the situation has been settled now, it is still within the territory of Gaoyang, so it is better to be cautious in everything.

It is necessary to keep an eye on these people.

Later, under the leadership of Song Hongzhi.

The Wei army of 50,000.

They all entered Gaoping City in a mighty force and took over all defense matters.

However, since the Wei Dynasty had always been strict in military discipline, the soldiers did not burn, kill, loot, or break into private homes after entering the city.

Because many people knew that this war had nothing to do with the civilians. And the Wei they represented was the ruler of the Central Plains, not some uncivilized grassland tribe, so there were some things they would not do.

Therefore, the people in Gaoping City saw the dragon flag of the Wei Dynasty raised on the top of the city.

I also saw Wei soldiers patrolling the city.

But other than that, there are no other changes.

Of course, there were still some people who were dissatisfied with the king's sudden surrender and made trouble in the streets, but because they were few in number, they were quickly suppressed.

There are only two reasons why not many people in Gaoping City chose to resist.

First, it was because King Gaoyang chose to surrender and did not fight to the end.

Secondly, Gaoyang State was deeply influenced by the Wei Dynasty in terms of culture and economy, especially the language and writing, which were almost exactly the same. Except for the name of the country, everything else was no different from the Wei Dynasty.

In addition, Song Hongzhi entered the city and imposed strict requirements on his soldiers.

So is the entire Gaoping City.

Although some people are indeed indignant in private, it is difficult to do anything about it.

Therefore, after the army entered the city, there was no resistance and it was extremely peaceful.

What the people should do on a daily basis will remain the same.

Of course, all the ministers of Gaoyang Kingdom were imprisoned.

The Li royal family was also confined within the palace, which further reduced the chances of accidents.

While Song Hongzhi was taking the soldiers to rest, he waited for Li Chengbing to prepare everything, and then escorted him and the entire Gaoyang royal family to the capital.

However, he did not forget Gaoyang Prince Li Zai.

This is an ambitious man.

Although it is a bit beyond one's ability, at this time, we still cannot choose to leave him alone.

Once Gaoyang Kingdom recovers, the situation will become complicated.

So Song Hongzhi asked King Gaoyang to recall Li Zai and go to the capital together to apologize.

At first, Li Zai was unwilling to do this, thinking that he still had some people under his command and might be able to save the situation.

He thought about giving up half of Gaoyang and proclaiming himself king, but since he couldn't gather enough food and grass in a short time, and the number of soldiers under his command was decreasing, he realized that the situation was hopeless.

After all, with the current national strength of Wei, it is completely beyond his ability to resist.

In addition, his father and the entire royal family are in Song Hongzhi's hands.

Even if I wanted to do something, there was nothing I could do.

More importantly.

Li Zai also received news.

In the northern border of the Wei Dynasty, because of the presence of Marquis Shenwu, the grassland tribes were defeated one after another, and it seemed that they would be able to free up their hands soon.

He began to despair, realizing that even if the crisis in the northern border of the Wei Dynasty was resolved, it meant that the garrison in Liaodong could be ready to enter Liaozhen at any time, and there were also 50,000 troops in Gaoyang.

Even if he collected food and had an army of 200,000, he would still be no match for the enemy.

Who knows, by then it might completely anger the Wei Dynasty and trigger an all-out war.

At that time, surrender would no longer be enough to solve the problem.

therefore.

In despair.

Li Zai chose to compromise and returned to Gaoping City.

At this point, the entire Gaoyang royal family was under the control of Song Hongzhi.

Without any hesitation, he prepared to take everyone and leave Gaoping City.

However, he did not forget to let some people stay in Gaoyang to take charge of the overall situation.

You can ignore other things, but what if you are gone?

It would be bad if Gaoyang Kingdom fell into chaos.

otherwise.

Even if the imperial court incorporated Gaoyang into its territory, it would be troublesome to govern it.

Although these seem to have nothing to do with me, I still have to do it if I can do my best to provide the court with a stable territory.

that's all.

Song Hongzhi led 20,000 of his men as the vanguard.

The entire Gaoyang royal family and Gaoyang ministers, totaling more than 500 people, were escorted to Liaozhen and the capital.

At the same time, he ordered someone to send an urgent military report over 800 miles to the capital to give the emperor's brother-in-law a surprise!

...

In the alchemy room of the imperial palace in the capital of the Wei Dynasty.

Wei Yunyi was very happy.

Because the Dahuan Dan he refined was finally ready.

The effect is much better than last time, although only seven pills were refined.

But among them, there were two genuine ones, four defective ones, and one turned into ashes after it was produced.

But this is already pretty good for him.

At least not much of the medicinal materials used for refining were wasted.
