The Record of Righteousness

Only two days after the eunuchs of the Puppet Zhou Dynasty were divided and eaten by the soldiers, the Shu army launched a general attack.

All the living creatures in the whole city were stuffed into the stomachs of the puppet Zhou soldiers. In addition, these soldiers had not eaten for two days, so they could only climb up the city wall with their swords and guns.

At this time, all the people in Zhaoyuan City were eaten, and there were only two thousand soldiers left. Without the help of those people, facing the overwhelming soldiers of the Shu Army who were rushing to kill them, each of them could not help but feel the sorrow of a rabbit dying or a fox, sighing with the pain of dying lips and cold teeth.

"Get started! I can still walk!"

There were only three or four teeth left in Yang Xun's mouth. He put on his coat, threw away the soldiers who were supporting him, and climbed up the city wall tremblingly without fear of the rain of arrows from the army.

At this time, the Shu army was like ants attached to the ladder, climbing densely and fearlessly to the top. The ladder was pushed down again and again, but it was stood up again after a moment.

Under the city wall, each of them held a round shield and struggled to resist the arrow rain of the puppet Zhou army.

Seeing that the resistance of the puppet Zhou army was gradually weakening, many strong warriors in the Zhou army climbed up the city wall, and suddenly broke out in several breaches. In the blink of an eye, dozens of soldiers of the puppet Zhou army were hacked to death by the soldiers of the Zhou army, and a steady stream of people climbed up the ladders. Numerous Shu troops with ferocious expressions crawled up onto the ground.

Yang Xun pulled out the slender sword blade from his waist.

A green dragon is carved on the hilt of the sword, with a ferocious tiger head on the end. The entire blade exudes a cold light. This is the blade that the false emperor once personally taught him.

"Old friend, I haven't seen the light of day for a long time."

But after hearing him murmur, he roared and rushed forward. At this time, he was no longer a sluggish old Confucian official, but a heroic general in command of the troops. Death on the battlefield was his biggest desire.

Yang Xunhan charged forward without fear of death, his red eyes piercing the chests of two Ming soldiers one after another. He pulled out the bloody sword with a red tassel on his helmet.

"Anyone who escapes from battle will be killed without mercy!!!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill!!"

""

With Yang Xun as the general in charge, he personally charged into the formation to kill the enemy. The morale of the puppet Zhou army, which had originally collapsed, was quickly gathered together. All the soldiers were determined to die with the Shu army. The retreating army formation became stronger, and soldiers on both sides became stronger. His eyes were red with blood, and he roared and killed with all his strength.

However, the Shu army climbed up the city wall in a steady stream, and the edge could not be seen at a glance. At this time, there were only less than a thousand soldiers left in the puppet Zhou army. The veteran Yang Xun was protected by soldiers in the center of the military formation.

Within half a day, the fighting came to an end.

The blood is everywhere, corpses are everywhere, the fishy smell is pungent, and the shouts of killing gradually subside.

The main force of the Shu army broke through the city and entered, and the cavalry troops all dispatched to clear out the remaining puppet Zhou troops.

In the end, the Ming army suffered more than a thousand casualties, and the remaining two thousand troops of the puppet Zhou Dynasty were completely wiped out by the Shu army. Yang Xun, who attempted to commit suicide, was captured alive by the Ming army generals.

As for why he wanted to capture him alive, it was because Zhai Zongyao ordered that the puppet Zhou general Yang Xun must be captured alive. He wanted to see who Yang Xun was, who had blocked his 50,000-strong army for nearly a month.

At this time, Yang Xun was tied up and sent to Zhai Zongyao's military tent.

There was a huge table in the military tent, with a map spread on it. Many military books and letters were placed in a porcelain jar. A handsome young general was sitting on the general's chair, with more than ten people standing on each side. A strong, armored soldier with a sword.

A dozen soldiers took Yang Xun to the tent. Seeing that Yang Xun was not acting resolutely, the military academy leader kicked him hard and shouted:

"Kneel down!"

Unexpectedly, although Yang Xun was kicked and tilted, his body stood upright like a proud bamboo, his eyes were slightly chin, and his gray temples and blood-stained armor told of his vigor and unyielding strength.

Zhai Zongyao looked Yang Xun over, waved his hand to stop the military academy who was about to take action, and let the dozen soldiers go down. He said in a deep voice:

"Yang Xun, why don't you kneel down when you see this town?"

Yang Xun sneered and said slowly:

"Haha, I and you each serve the same master. The king is the father and the ministers are the sons. How can a child consider a thief as his father? I have nothing else to ask for but a quick death! All my wishes come true."

Zhai Zongyao frowned and was speechless. He didn't know if Yang Xun was really a tough guy or just pretending. He slapped a few words and shouted in a stern voice:

"You're so good, Yang Xun! I was a high-ranking Jinshi, rebelled against the country, and joined the puppet dynasty. I was so righteous as you said, but I recognized the thief as the master, and falsely accused me, the Holy One, of orthodoxy. What crime should I be doing?!"

However, Yang Xun couldn't recognize that others said he was a traitor, so he was eloquent and said angrily:

"Your sages are fatuous but worthy of the emperors Ling and Huan. Since ancient times, the emperor has no way, and his position is occupied by a person with the way!"

"Since I raised my army in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I have blessed all the people, obeyed the laws of heaven, and pointed my sword at the nine states. Although my sage is a woman, she has both virtue and talent, and is benevolent and caring for the people. Therefore, the orthodoxy is in Zhou and not in Shu."

"Looking at it this way, it is only for the emperor to rebel against the thieves!"

Zhai Zongyao was shocked by Yang Xun's stubbornness. He was able to explain the evil theories so confidently and remained loyal to the puppet government before he died. He was really shocked.

But seeing this guy slandering His Majesty over and over again, he could not swallow his breath no matter what, and said angrily:

"Blessing all the people? Humph, could it be that you would bless all the people in Zhaoyuan City by eating them?!"

Having said this, the eloquent Yang Xun closed his eyes and fell silent.

Seeing this, Zhai Zongyao sneered twice, slapped a few words, and ordered:

"Come here! Drag Yang Xun's traitor out and behead him! Hang his head above the Zhaoyuan City Gate to pay homage to the souls of tens of thousands of people who died under his poisonous hands!"

"yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen soldiers rushed in and took Yang Xun, who was like a dead tree, into custody.

In this way, the battle of Zhaoyuan, which took a month, ended in the tragic defeat of the Pseudo-Zhou.

After the Ming army rested for three or five days in Zhaoyuan, Zhai Zongyao left two thousand troops to guard the two cities of Zhaoyuan and Laiyang.

In the late December, close to the end of the year, except for the dead silence in Shandong, the rest of the provinces were noisy with drums and firecrackers, and the people went to cut new cloth and buy meat that they were reluctant to eat on weekdays.

The capital, where the rich and powerful gathered, was even more lively, and the rich families were all reveling every night, overjoyed.

The emperor, who was living in the palace, did not forget the soldiers who were fighting. He ordered the Ministry of War to supervise the production of a batch of cotton clothes, allocated silver, and issued two taels of silver to each soldier.

The soldiers of the Ming army also hoped to return home as soon as possible after suppressing the rebellion, and more than 45,000 Ming troops set out again.

The Pseudo-Zhou Dynasty had no soldiers at this time. Even though it had many generals, it was difficult to cook without rice.

Therefore, the Ming army successively recovered Qixia, Fushan, Dasongwei, Ninghaizhou and Wendeng counties.

Only more than 3,000 Pseudo-Zhou troops were annihilated, and the Pseudo-Chao fled from Wendeng to Weihaiwei.

Weihaiwei is located in the extreme north of Dengzhou, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and is the last retreat of the Pseudo-Zhou Dynasty.

Each soldier of the Ming army received one or two taels of silver from the court, as well as a set of cotton-padded armor, and they were all very happy.
