Chapter 1389 The end of the road
The Huai'an Army has been besieging the city for more than two months and has not been able to break into Yandu. Today, three groups suddenly broke through. It was obviously not that one of the Huai'an Army suddenly exploded, but because there was a big problem with the defenders in the city.
They couldn't bear it psychologically.
After being besieged for two months, there was no sign of reinforcements coming to rescue. In addition, there was all kinds of chaos in the city, and His Majesty the Emperor was nowhere to be seen all day long!
What's more important is that the number of Zhu Li Zhenren in the Forbidden Army has been reduced to seven or eight, and almost all of the remaining ones are Han Chinese!
In this case, even a fool can tell that something is not right.
But even under such circumstances, these Han defenders still lasted for two months, which is enough to show that there is actually no problem with their business capabilities.
However, over the past two months, the psychological pressure has only increased, and today, they finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Although Shen Yi still doesn't know what happened in the city, he guesses that the defenders in the city began to flee or even mutiny.
But no matter what happened, the news Shen Yi received now is that the Huai'an army broke through the city in three ways and Yandu was defeated. It is an established fact.
Almost at the same time that the city gate was broken, fires began to break out all over the city of Yandu, including some prosperous neighborhoods, the inner courtyard of the palace, and some princes' mansions.
The only fly in the ointment was that thick smoke was rising in the night in Yandu City.
There are no kings with different surnames in Dachen. Even those who were heroes during the founding of the country were at most the Duke of the country when they were alive and the title of county king after their death.
Shen Yi looked up at the Imperial City in the north and asked, "Have our people reached the Imperial City?"
Shen Yi said calmly: "I don't need any rewards anymore."
Shen Yi also entered Yandu City in the evening. He and Su Ding walked on the middle road of Yandu City one after another. Both of them looked at the city from left to right.
Shen Yi is now the hereditary Marquis of Jing'an. To be honest, it doesn't matter to him whether he is promoted to Duke or not.
At this moment, Su Ding already knew the general situation in the city. He lowered his head slightly and said to Shen Yi: "Most of the Northern Qi Imperial Guards in the city put down their weapons, put on people's clothes, and dispersed into the houses of each village. Some of them surrendered directly, and now there won’t be many troops left in the imperial city.”
If in the past, Shen Yi's status in the court was only comparable to that of the Prime Minister, then after today, Shen Yi will reach a transcendent status in the court.
Su Ding heard this and said softly: "They have always been like this."
A smile appeared on Su Ding's face and he said: "The fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty was almost entirely attributed to Duke Shen. Duke Shen's contribution at this time has far exceeded that of Duke Ding. I don't know what reward the imperial court will give to Duke Shen."
Mr. Shen was walking on the avenue with his hands behind his back, looking at the faint firelight in the night sky in the distance, frowning and saying: "You can win, but you can't afford to lose."
Shen Yi smiled and nodded: "Conquer the imperial city as soon as possible, and I can report my merits to His Majesty and the court."
"The general estimates that by dawn tomorrow, we will be able to capture the imperial city."
Because no matter from any aspect, he has been unblockable.
There were at least dozens of places on fire at the same time!
This city was built by the ancestors of Da Chen. For a long time, it was the most prosperous city in the world. Even Jiankang later was slightly inferior to him.
There is no need to think too much about this. It must have been set by Zhu Li, and his intention was very simple. He wanted to cause as much trouble to Shen Yi or the Huai'an army as possible.
In one day, the Huai'an army entered Yandu on a large scale and began to clean up this first city in the world, street by street.
"Already surrounded."
Now, although it was already dusk, with the torches beside the two people, they could still vaguely see the appearance of this big city.
General Zhao Chong, for example, was a marquis when he was alive and became a duke after his death.
Above all courtiers.
Even above everyone except Emperor Hongde, including princes like Li Mu and the princes of Emperor Hongde.
At this time, Mr. Shen must also think about his future position and how to get along with the court.
Su Ding seemed to have realized something. He did not continue to ask, but smiled and said: "Earlier Shen Gong said that the first person to conquer the city would be awarded the title of World Lord. This time, the first person to conquer the city should be General Xue."
Mr. Shen shook his head and smiled hoarsely: "You three will definitely be knighted, and you will probably all be marquises. Xue Wei shouldn't fight for the first place. When Yandu calms down, we can sit together. Just discuss it." At this point, Shen Yi suddenly stopped, looked back at Su Ding, and said with a smile: "If General Su is a marquis, he should be Marquis Qingyuan."
Su Ding was from Mingzhou Prefecture. Mingzhou was called Qingyuan in ancient times. If he was granted a title, it would probably be based on his place of origin.
Su Ding quickly lowered his head, leaned forward and said, "General, I didn't think so far ahead."
Mr. Shen patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "When the north is completely calmed down, I will arrange a new job for you."
Su Ding was stunned: "Mr. Shen, after the Northern Expedition, where else will we fight?"
"overseas."
Shen Yi chuckled and said: "The Japanese pirates have been causing trouble in our southeast for twenty years and killed countless Han people. When General Su was in Mingzhou Prefecture, he had to deal with the Japanese pirates. Are you interested in going to the Japanese pirates' main island to help Da Chen?" Feeling bad?"
Su Ding's eyes lit up. He looked up at Shen Yi and said in a deep voice, "I will go there eventually!"
Mr. Shen smiled and continued: "This matter is not urgent. Firstly, our Huai'an Army's navy is not ready yet. Secondly, the country also needs a few years to recuperate. But when the time comes, as long as we send someone there, I will definitely recommend you." General."
"Um…"
Mr. Shen touched his chin: "When the time comes, let Liu Mingyuan be your deputy."
Su Ding lowered his head and said, "Thank you Mr. Shen for your cultivation!"
Mr. Shen shook his head and wanted to speak. A messenger hurriedly came to report, half-kneeling in front of Shen Yi, and said in a quick voice: "Commander, General Zhong Ming has already reached the gate of the imperial city!"
Master Shen turned back and smiled: "The Zhong Ming you brought out is really good. It can be said that he shined in this Northern Expedition."
"In the future, he will probably become a famous general."
When it came to Zhong Ming, Su Ding thought for a while and replied: "With his style of play, without Shen Gong, nothing can be done."
General Su paused and said with a smile: "The entire Huai'an Army, without the support of Duke Shen these years, probably wouldn't be able to do much good."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "You can't say that, and you can't think like that."
"I still hope that you can all be on your own."
Su Ding did not answer, but leaned slightly and said: "Mr. Shen, I will send someone to find you a place to rest. Early tomorrow morning, Mr. Shen will be able to get up and take over the entire Yan capital."
These words sounded comfortable, and Mr. Shen nodded with a smile. He found a vacant house in the city to live in, and that night, he wrote two autographed letters to Jiankang, using the internal guard six hundred miles to expedite it. Sent to Jiankang.
After writing these two letters, Shen Yi went to his desk and drafted three chapters of the Yandu Agreement. After finishing these things, he went to bed to rest.
After a solid night's sleep, the next morning, when Mr. Shen got up, Jiang Sheng was already waiting at the door. When he saw Shen Yi pushing the door open, Jiang Sheng stepped forward quickly, lowered his head and said, "Master, how many of you are there?" The generals all sent people to deliver a message, saying that they have broken into the palace and are now confronting some Northern Qi guards in the palace."
"That emperor of Northern Qi will not come out unless he sees you."
Shen Yi frowned: "Why don't you wake me up?"
Jiang Sheng scratched his head: "Aren't you afraid of delaying your rest..."
"Nonsense!"
Mr. Shen glanced at this guy and said with a smile: "Even though Emperor Zhaowu is at the end of his rope, he is still the king of a country. If he wants to see me now, how can I show off?"
"You are becoming more and more ignorant."
Jiang Sheng followed Shen Yi and smiled.
"Young Master has worked too hard these past few years. In my opinion, nothing is as important as having a good rest."
Mr. Shen walked out and shook his head helplessly.
"Stop flattering."
