Chapter 957: The Fall of Shangjing (Part II)
"Where did these refugees come from?" Yelu Yixin roared angrily, just outside the back door of his mansion, it was densely packed with refugees, these refugees were also awakened by the rebellion, and now they are trying to escape like headless flies, but the space outside the back door is not large, and it is crowded with nearly 10,000 people at once, it is impossible to disperse at once, and there is even a stampede, countless refugees are wailing in pain in the chaos, and the scene is extremely chaotic.
"Master Qiqi, didn't you order the refugees to be given porridge yesterday, the villain thinks that letting the refugees block the gate will lose the face of our prime minister's house, so he asked people to give porridge at the back door, attracting all the refugees, and the other refugees in the city also rushed over, so there are so many people." At this time, the steward in charge of soup kitchen yesterday explained with a sad face that he had just forgotten about the fact that the back door was full of refugees.
"Bastard thing!" Yelu Yixin almost vomited blood in anger when he heard this, and kicked the steward over, and then turned around and wanted to find other places to escape from the mansion, but before he could go far, he heard a burst of shouts and killings from the front, obviously the rebels had already entered the mansion, and if they walked forward again, they were likely to meet each other head-on.
Hearing the footsteps of the rebels getting closer and closer, Yelu Yixin also lost his usual calmness, and turned around in a panic and ran back, but when he came to the back door again, he saw that the refugees outside the door were even more chaotic, but at this time Yelu Yixin didn't care about anything else, and asked the generals and servants to come forward with weapons to cut and kill, hoping to kill a bloody way before the rebels caught up with him.
Hearing the order of the head of the family, the generals and servants under Yelu Yixin also went crazy, after all, they are all Yelu Yixin's minions, and they usually rely on Yelu Yixin's name to be powerful outside, and if they fall into the hands of the rebels at this time, I am afraid that there will be no good end. Therefore, these people almost did not hesitate to raise their weapons and kill the refugees, and for a time there was blood and flesh flying in front of the door, and the wails of the refugees at the time of their tragic death were endless.
But it was already too late, and before the men under Yelu Yixin could fight their way out, the rebels behind them had already caught up, and when they saw the row of more than a dozen carriages in front of the back door. Almost all of the rebels had green eyes, for they knew that they must be the family of Jereyisin, and that these men would surely take the most valuable things with them when they fled, so they would be rich if they caught up with the wagons.
It is precisely because of this that the rebels almost did not hesitate to kill, and most of Yelu Yixin's men were sent to the front to cut down the refugees to open the way, with little protection at all. As a result, he was killed by the rebels to the carriage in the blink of an eye. Yelu Yixin on the carriage looked at the rebels who were getting closer and closer, and he was also cold at the moment, especially when he saw that the carriage behind had been caught up by the rebels, and his concubines and children were taken away or killed one by one, which made him feel an unprecedented sadness and powerlessness.
Finally, a rebel caught up with Yelu Yixin's carriage, and the coachman and the guards were quickly killed, and then the carriage door was kicked open with a "呒~", and when the rebel outside saw Yelu Yixin in the carriage. There was also an expression of ecstasy on his face, and he shouted at the moment: "Yelu Yixin is here." Lao Tzu is going to be developed! ”
Originally, Yelu Yixin still had a bit of extravagant hope in his heart, hoping that the rebels would be more willing to capture him alive, but after the rebel shouted, he seemed to be afraid that others would steal the merit, so he cut it down fiercely, and as a result, Yelu Yixin's old head flew up in a circle. Bounced twice in the carriage, then was grabbed by the rebels, and then held aloft to proclaim his merits, and then Yelu Yixin's eyes were wide open on his skull, and he did not look blind until he died.
Jeruyisin did many evils all his life. The reason why Liao came to this point, he almost had to bear half of the responsibility, it can be said that he has hardly done anything good in his life, but on the day before he died, he suddenly had a whim, and even gave porridge to the refugees, although the motive is not very pure, but it is also a rare good deed, but unfortunately it is precisely because of this good deed that it indirectly led to his death, so it can be seen that the world is unpredictable, this little thing has always made later generations of historians and metaphysicians talk about it, and there are many versions of legends among the people, I'm afraid this is something that even Yelu Yixin didn't expect.
After the death of Yelu Yixin, his head was immediately sent to the hands of Yelu Yujian, who launched a rebellion, and it is said that this rebellion was planned by him and Yelu Nuzhang, although Yelu Yujin did not directly control the city gate, but he had a lot of troops in his hands, and most of them were his henchmen, so under his orders, some of them were led by Yelu Nuzhang to attack the city gate so that the Jurchens could come in, and the other part was personally commanded by him to create chaos in the city.
It's also a coincidence, Yelu Yujian and Yelu Yixin don't have a good relationship, but the mansions of the two of them are not far away, plus Yelu Yixin holds the power in the Liao court, if he dies, it will definitely leave the entire Shangjing City leaderless, and it will be easier to cause chaos at that time, so Yelu Yixin will become his first target.
After the rebellion began, Yelu Yujian sent the most elite 3,000 troops around him to capture Yelu Yixin, but he didn't expect it to succeed very easily in the end, Yelu Yujian saw Yelu Yixin's head, and even a little unbelievable, because he knew that Yelu Yixin's house had a lot of generals, even if he couldn't fight, he could escape, so it was not easy to catch him, in his plan, he could force Yelu Yixin to flee everywhere, and there was no time to organize the troops in the city to suppress his rebellion was the best result, But in the end, Yelu Yixin easily died at his own hands.
But the accident is an accident, Yelu Yujian quickly reacted, and at that moment he ordered someone to carry Yelu Yixin's head with a long bamboo pole, and then rushed to the city gate to aid Yelu Nu Zhang, at this time Yelu Nu Zhang was fighting for the city gate with the defenders of the city gate, because the city gate defenders swore not to retreat, so that their progress was not smooth, but when Yelu Yu saw Yelu Yixin's head in front of the battle, and shouted "Yelu Yixin is dead", the defenders of the city gate immediately panicked, especially many people who knew Yelu Yixin, and they no longer had the heart to fight, Jerod saw that they took advantage of this opportunity to conquer the city gate in one fell swoop and open the city gate.
Yelu Yu saw that they were attacking the south city gate, which was not the main attack direction of the Jurchens, so the guard force here was also relatively weak, which was also the main reason why Yelu Yu saw that they could easily conquer it, but the Jurchens in the north of the city had already received the news, so they had already quietly touched the south gate under the cover of night, and when the city gate was opened, Ah Guta, who personally commanded the army, immediately gave an order, and all the Jurchen cavalry rushed into the city gate first.
Yelu Yujian and Yelu Nuzhang stood in front of the city gate to greet Aguta, and when Aguda entered the city, Yelu Yujian immediately sent Yelu Yixin's head to show his merits, and Aguda smiled and praised a few words, and then immediately let Yelu Yujian lead the way, he wanted to kill the Liao Palace as soon as possible, and it was best to be able to capture Yelu Jun alive.
Yelu Jun was also awakened by the rebellion in the city, and his first thought at the moment was not to organize troops to quell the rebellion, but to immediately send someone to summon Yelu Yixin into the palace, because over the years he has almost handed over all the affairs of the court to the other party, so it has become his habit to find Yelu Yixin when there is something, but when the people he sent came back, he told him a bad news, Yelu Yixin's mansion has been captured by the rebels, and Yelu Yixin himself is nowhere to be seen, according to the rebels, they have killed Yelu Yixin, And some of the defenders of the city gate had seen the head of Jeruethin.
Knowing that Yelu Yixin might have died at the hands of the rebels, Yelu Jun also sat down on the dragon chair all of a sudden, feeling empty in his heart, as if he had lost his support all of a sudden, and even he didn't know what to do for a while, because the defense of the city had always been handled by Yelu Yixin, and he didn't even know who to find to suppress the rebellion in the city now.
However, when Yelu Jun was in a daze, the Jin army of Ah Guta had already entered the city, these Jin troops were extremely vicious, far from being comparable to the rebels under Yelu Yujian, as soon as they entered the city, they started to kill, especially those refugees on the streets, as long as they encountered the Jin army, it was almost a dead end, and for a while, the streets of Tokyo were full of dead bodies and blood.
It was the brutal killing of the Jin soldiers that made them move forward extremely fast, and although the number of Liao troops in Shangjing was large, but Yelu Yixin died, no one organized it at all, so that the Liao troops everywhere could only fight on their own, and they could not play the advantage of being large at all, but were killed by the Jurchens and fled in all directions, plus most of the Liao army were forcibly conscripted people, and it was barely feasible to rely on the city wall to defend the city before, but now they are directly engaged with the cruel Jin army, but these people can't muster up courage at all, Even many people directly took off their livery and blended in with ordinary people, in this chaotic situation, it is impossible to find them again.
In just one hour, the Jin army had already advanced to the vicinity of the palace, but at this time, Yelujun was still in the palace and did not escape, if nothing else, the other party was likely to become a prisoner of the Jin army. However, at this moment, the monk Lin Yaxiao of the bureau rushed into the palace to ask for Ye Lu Jun, and as soon as he saw Ye Lu Jun, he shouted: "Your Majesty, the Jin army has entered the city, and it is about to be killed in the palace, please take the overall situation as the priority and immediately withdraw from the capital!" ”
"Huh? This ......" Hearing Monk Xiao's words, Yelu Jun woke up from the news of Yelu Yixin's death, thinking that the Jin army was about to be killed, which made him even more panicked, and hurriedly commanded at the moment, "Hurry up...... Quickly call the queen and the crown prince and others, and the palace guards will protect us and fight us out of the city! (To be continued.) )
