Outside Changyi County.
Liu Fuquan fled back with Yuan Jing.
To this day, there are less than a thousand soldiers around him, and they are all demoralized.
The Battle of Zhongmou County and the Battle of Chenliu County, these two battles broke Liu Fuquan's military morale. Except for the soldiers who had been defeated, those who followed him back after hearing Zhao's change of attitude and a little bit of Zhao Shan's movements. I was so frightened that I trembled with fear.
Liu Fuquan was helpless about this.
Zhao Shan is too strong!
You can't win!
Even his favorite Kong Lingyue was captured by Zhao Shan. I am afraid that the next step will be to force him to sleep with Zhao Shan.
When he thought of this, Liu Fuquan's heart felt like a knife piercing his heart.
First up is Ye Qingxuan!
Now it’s Kong Lingyue.
This is true for both women.
Liu Fuquan looked at the county town with people coming and going, took a deep breath to adjust his mentality, and led the people into the city. He went all the way to the city and outside the palace. When he returned to the palace smoothly, he arranged for someone to notify Huo Dan to come to the palace to see him.
While Liu Fuquan was waiting in the palace, he arranged for people to bring good wine and meat.
Along the way back, I ate dry food most of the time, and rarely had a hot meal. Now when he returned to the palace, there was no shortage of food. Liu Fuquan ate it happily, feeling that it was a delicacy.
Liu Fuquan drank and ate meat at the same time. After he was completely full, he leaned back with his hands behind his back, his belly slightly protruding, and he looked satisfied.
Feel comfortable!
Completely comfortable.
Just at this time, a eunuch entered and reported: "Your Majesty, Huo Shangshu is here with all the civil and military officials."
Liu Fuquan did not doubt that he was there and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Huo Dan to call everyone here. I have already lost the battle. Why do we need such a big battle?"
"That's all, they're all here, I can't help but let them come in."
"As you command!"
The eunuch agreed and turned around to deliver the order.
Not long after, Huo Dan entered the main hall with the main civil and military officials of the court. They all saluted and said, "Meet your Majesty."
Liu Fuquan sat up slightly, waved his hands and said, "Young ladies, you don't need to be polite, just keep your body level."
Holding the wat tablet in his hand, Huo Dan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have this memorial."
Liu Fuquan said: "Huo Shangshu, I just came back, and I haven't explained the situation on the front line or considered how to deal with the chaos? What do you want to report?"
Huo Dan said righteously: "Your Majesty, what I want to report is a serious matter."
Liu Fuquan asked: "What's the matter?"
Huo Dan said: "Your Majesty has been defeated again and again on the front line. Daqian's army has come and the Xia Kingdom has been unable to resist. In order to reduce the casualties of the people, please obey the rules and surrender to Daqian."
Liu Fuquan's eyes instantly turned cold.
Submit to Daqian?
Is Huo Dan going crazy because of his gains and losses?
"Your Majesty, please surrender to Daqian."
Zhang Tong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, also stood up and expressed his position. He had already met Zhang Peng from Chenliu County, knew the fighting situation, and knew the strength of Da Gan, and did not want to continue the fight.
"Your Majesty, please surrender to Daqian."
Civil and military officials expressed their opinions one after another, hoping that Liu Fuquan would surrender.
Everyone shouted in unison.
The attitude is even more determined.
When Liu Fuquan saw this scene, he had a look of shock on his face. He did not expect this scene to happen at all.
Immediately, he became angry again.
Liu Fuquan's eyes widened, murderous intent surged, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointed at the civil and military officials of the dynasty, gritted his teeth and said: "Traitors, a group of traitors."
"I established the Xia Kingdom, and you will all benefit."
"Everyone is enjoying the glory and wealth in Xia Kingdom, enjoying delicious food, and enjoying the service of servants. Now that I have failed, you have all made trouble and become good citizens under Zhao Shan."
"As everyone knows, would Zhao Shan be willing to take a bunch of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves like you?"
Liu Fuquan almost roared: "I know it's not easy for you, and I know you are worried. But if you don't go through hardships, how can you enjoy the joy of standing on the top of the mountain?"
"Now that Zhao Shan is here, if we stop Zhao Shan, we will have a future and can continue to enjoy our current life. If you submit to Zhao Shan, even if you can save your life, you will be worse than a pig or a dog."
Huo Dan stepped forward again and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please obey the general trend and submit to the great cadres."
"Your Majesty, please surrender to Daqian."
Zhang Tong and everyone else shouted again.
Everyone shouted, and their voices echoed in the hall.
Liu Fuquan became even more furious and said loudly: "Yuan Jing, Yuan Jing, you son of a bitch, where did you go to me?"
Huo Dan said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Yuan Jing should have been killed."
Just at this moment, a soldier walked in and came to Huo Dan's side and muttered a few words.
Huo Dan nodded, waved his hand for the soldiers to retreat, looked at Liu Fuquan, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Yuan Jing is dead. Does your Majesty still want to rebel wholeheartedly now?"
"Hahaha……"
Liu Fuquan sneered.
Laugh at yourself.
He pointed at Huo Dan and said angrily: "I am the emperor of Daxia, and now you actually say that I want to rebel? Huo Dan, Huo Dan, I have entrusted you with a heavy responsibility and told you with the utmost sincerity. I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. ."
Huo Dan said neither humble nor arrogantly: "How can we go against the general trend when the Holy Lord is at court? Please be more dignified, Your Majesty."
All the officials agreed.
That gesture clearly didn't take Liu Fuquan seriously.
Liu Fuquan drew his sword out of its sheath with a clang, and rushed towards Huo Dan with the sword in hand. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will kill you first."
As soon as he rushed out, he saw the warriors in the hall rushing up, pointing their swords at Liu Fuquan, and they were very likely to kill Liu Fuquan if they disagreed.
Huo Dan said: "Your Majesty, have you seen the general trend?"
Liu Fuquan glanced at the fierce-looking soldiers and suddenly laughed at himself. He threw away the sword in his hand and staggered to the ground.
He looked sad and said angrily: "What a Zhao Shan, what a powerful Zhao Shan. He defeated me in Chenliu County. I was kidnapped by my own people as soon as I arrived in Changyi County."
"I consider myself a wise man and a counselor."
"I didn't expect that I would be calculated so miserably."
"Everyone who said they were loyal on weekdays turned out to be traitors."
Liu Fuquan said: "I regret that it's too late. I regret that I left a bunch of weaklings like you in the first place. If I had known this, I should have killed you all and promoted people again."
Huo Dan listened to Liu Fuquan's almost crazy words and waved his hand: "Send Liu Fuquan to the palace. No one is allowed to come in or out to visit. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
The Imperial Guards soldiers in the palace stepped forward, quickly detained Liu Fuquan, and dragged him out.
Huo Dan dealt with Liu Fuquan, looked at the other civil and military officials in the court, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, please prepare well. When His Majesty the Emperor Daqian arrives, we will go out of the city to greet him in person."
Everyone said yes.
The reason why the Manchu officials did not serve Liu Fuquan was because most of them were from Yanzhou bandits. How can these people be willing to give up everything they have after enjoying the luxury of food and clothing?
None of them were willing.
In addition, all the big families in the court are even more clever. Liu Fuquan is powerful and they all follow Liu Fuquan.
Now that Liu Fuquan has fallen and Zhao Shan can no longer be stopped, the big family must consider its options.
Just like this, all the officials in the court betrayed him, and no one fought to the death for Liu Fuquan.
After Huo Dan made arrangements, he went to Jiang Yuhuang's residence in person to contact him. He didn't see Ye Qingxuan, and he sighed inwardly.
Ye Qingxuan is also a cunning person. He only left people to contact him but did not stay in person. It was obviously because he was worried that he would not abide by the agreement.
Huo Dan asked the contact person to inform Ye Qingxuan, and it didn't take long before Ye Qingxuan and Jiang Yuhuang came back.
Huo Dan said: "Your Highness the Princess is really cautious."
Ye Qingxuan smiled and said, "Huo Shangshu, those who do things carelessly have already turned into a pile of bones. Has Huo Shangshu already captured Liu Fuquan?"
"yes!"
Huo Dan answered without hesitation and said in a deep voice: "Liu Fuquan came back today. I brought hundreds of civil and military officials to force the palace and imprisoned Liu Fuquan. Now, we just wait for His Majesty the Emperor to come to Changyi County with his army."
Ye Qingxuan said: "I will immediately arrange for someone to send a letter to inform your majesty about Huo Shangshu's imprisonment of Liu Fuquan. Please speed up your journey and arrive in Changyi County as soon as possible."
Huo Dan said: "Your Royal Highness the hardworking princess."
Ye Qingxuan shook his head and said: "The person who did the hard work is Huo Shangshu. When His Majesty's army arrives, I, the princess, will take Liu Fuquan out of the city with you to greet Your Majesty. This time, Huo Shangshu is the first to take down Liu Fuquan."
Huo Dan got a clear answer and was immediately satisfied.
This is what is needed.
Huo Dan didn't stay any longer, got up and left.
Ye Qingxuan and Jiang Yuhuang also quietly left the house and arranged for people from Dongchang to send the news from Changyi County to Zhao Shan who was on his way to Changyi County.
The people from Dongchang sent letters quickly. As soon as the army under Zhao Shan arrived at the border of Changyi County, Dongchang fanzi came to Zhao Shan, reported the situation in Changyi County, and handed over the letter.
