Chapter 404: Liaoyang City Changes Owners
Yelu Yujian led his troops to the port, originally wanting to put pressure on the Zhou navy to get back his own food supplies.
But they didn't expect that the Zhou navy didn't care about martial ethics at all and just used artillery to bombard them.
The unprepared Liao army was bombarded by several rounds of artillery and their formation was thrown into chaos. They had seen the power of artillery bombardment of the Jin army on the battlefield before, but they did not expect that one day it would be their turn to be bombarded.
Yelu Yujian even cursed in his heart, but faced with such a terrifying weapon like artillery, he couldn't even think of resisting at all, so he could only fight hard to escape from here.
However, at this moment, there were suddenly only four shouts of killing, and an ambush had been arranged around the dock. Even the way forward was blocked by the ambush. Now Yelu Yujian had no place to escape even if he wanted to.
"Lu Liang, what are you going to do? Do you want to destroy the alliance between the two countries?"
When Yelu Yujian saw that he could not escape, he yelled angrily.
Unexpectedly, the army surrounding them did not launch an attack, and even the previous artillery stopped.
Immediately afterwards, I saw an old general standing out from the crowd. It was Lu Liang, the old general who commanded the navy of the Zhou Dynasty.
"Yelu Yu has seen, why don't you dismount your horse and accept your surrender!"
Luliang Hengdao stood up and shouted loudly at Yelu Yujian opposite.
"General Lu, what do you mean by this? Why did you suddenly attack friendly forces? Aren't you afraid that the Emperor of Zhou will punish you?"
When he saw Lu Liang, Yelu Yu saw that he had calmed down and immediately questioned him.
"Haha, this general was ordered by our emperor to come here specifically to help Daliao suppress the rebellion. Now who doesn't know that you, Yelu Yujian, have defected to the Jin Kingdom?"
Lu Liang asked with a sneer.
"That's nonsense. I, Yelu Yujian, have proven my loyalty to Daliao. Besides, why do you, the Kingdom of Zhou, need to come and intervene in my affairs in Daliao?"
Yeluyu yelled unconvinced.
"Yelü Yujian, you're still so stubborn at this point. Do you think His Majesty doesn't know that you have rebellious intentions?"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, another young general led the crowd.
When he saw this young man, Yelu Yujian's expression changed drastically.
"Xiao Sixian! It's you who did it!"
Yelu Yujian gritted his teeth and said angrily. He never dreamed that he would fall into the hands of such a loser.
"Yes, it is I who came to Liaoyang to quell the rebellion according to His Majesty's order. All the officers and soldiers obeyed the order!"
I saw Xiao Sixian speaking and actually took out an imperial edict from his arms, and then read it out in front of everyone.
The imperial edict was issued by Yelu Yanxi personally, which meant that Xiao Si was ordered to stay in Tokyo first and take over the military and political power of Liaoyang Prefecture in succession from Yelu Yujian.
As for Yelu Yujian, he was escorted to Zhongjing for trial because of his collusion with the Jin army.
Yelu Yujian listened to the imperial edict read out by Xiao Sixian, and the expression on his face became increasingly ugly. He thought that Zhongjing was too busy to take care of itself, but he didn't expect that they would join forces with Da Zhou to deal with him.
The only fault is that he was too careless and fell into the opponent's trap so easily. Now he is trapped in a desperate situation with no way to escape.
As for the Liao troops behind Yelu Yujian, they also had different expressions at this time. Some of them were die-hard loyalists of Yelu Yujian, so they naturally knew that he had disloyal intentions.
But there are also quite a few people who have no idea that Yelu Yujian has second thoughts, and they also looked shocked at this time.
"If you don't put down your weapons quickly, are you going to join Yelu Yujian in the rebellion?"
Xiao Sixian read the imperial edict and immediately scolded Yeluyu angrily when he saw the soldiers behind him.
"Clang~"
As soon as Xiao Sixian finished speaking, some people immediately dropped their weapons. After all, they were all Liao people, and many of them were still loyal to Yelu Yanxi.
Everyone has a herd mentality. If someone takes the lead, more people immediately put down their weapons. Although Yelu Yujian shouted loudly, he could not stop these people from surrendering.
Even some of Yelu Yujian's confidants chose to surrender after weighing the pros and cons. After all, they were surrounded by the Song army and had artillery behind them. If they dared to resist, they would definitely be dead.
In the end, there were only a few hundred personal guards left around Yelu Yujian. With this small force, it was impossible to fight out. In the end, Yelu Yujian also sighed and simply put down his weapons and surrendered. After all, resistance is death. If you don't resist, maybe
There is still a glimmer of hope.
"Catch him!"
Xiao Si first smiled proudly, and then ordered people to tie Yelu Yujian into a ball, and then sent someone to guard him. As for the Liao troops who surrendered, they were also temporarily disarmed.
"General Lu, thanks to you this time!"
Xiao Si first finished dealing with Yelu and when he saw Yu, he immediately came to Lu Liang and saluted.
The reason why Xiao Sixian came to Liaoyang Mansion was precisely because of Ning Fu's letter to Xiao Fengxian. At that time, Xiao Fengxian thought that he could use the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty to trap and kill Yelu Yujian and then send people to take over Liaoyang City.
Although Yelu Yanxi felt that this plan was a bit risky, and with the help of Dazhou's power, Dazhou's influence on Liaoyang Mansion would become greater, making it difficult to control in the future.
However, considering the dangers of Yelu Yujian's defection to the Jin Kingdom, Yelu Yanxi could not care less and finally agreed. Although Xiao Sixian had no talent, Yelu Yanxi trusted the Xiao family very much. After all, for the emperor, loyalty was more important than loyalty.
Talent is more important.
Lu Liang was also very polite to Xiao Sixian. Although he did not know that his sister had become Ning Fu's concubine, Xiao Sixian would take over the Liaoyang Mansion in the future, and cooperation between the two parties would definitely be necessary.
But now is not the time to celebrate. Although Yelu Yujian was arrested, Liaoyang City has not yet taken over.
Therefore, Xiao Sixian set off immediately, and Lu Liang personally led an army to accompany him, and both parties rushed to Liaoyang City.
The Liao army in Liaoyang City didn't know what happened yet, so they didn't even close the city gate.
Xiao Si first revealed his identity and entered the city very easily. Then he summoned the officials in the city and read out Yelu Yanxi's imperial edict again.
Almost all officials in Liaoyang City were well aware of Yeluyu's intention to rebel after seeing him, so they were not surprised.
But they didn't expect that Yelu Yujian would be captured so easily by Xiao Sixian.
Although there are still die-hard loyalists to Yelu Yujian in the city, they are powerless to save themselves from this situation. After all, Xiao Si came first with great righteousness. Anyone who opposes it is tantamount to rebellion, so even if some people are unwilling to accept it, they can only express it.
Surrender.
Of course Xiao Sixian was not stupid. He knew that there were many confidants of Yelu Yujian in the city, so after taking over Liaoyang City, the first thing he did was to invite Lu Liang and others to settle in the city, and then kill all of Yelu Yujian's confidants.
Although many people intended to resist during this period, unfortunately, after Yelu Yujian was arrested, they became scattered, and their resistance was very limited, and they were quickly extinguished.
