Return of the Swallow

Chapter 265: Siege

"Liu Yingshi, the prefect of Baochang of Dayan, with 30,000 mercenaries, petitioned Emperor Yuankang of Dayan to move the capital to Baochang to build a new capital, but Emperor Kang of Yuan refused, and dismissed Shu, Liu Yingshi opposed, and established his relative 'Yuchi Xujie' as the queen of Yan. Jun, change the year name to Kaiyuan, Liu self-proclaimed the regent, and the southern states and counties of Dayan responded to the Kaiyuan Emperor... Dayan lost most of the land, and Houyan controlled the waterway, the grain route was cut off, and the prepared grain was robbed by Liu..."

Hu Zi finished reading the secret report in a low voice, smacking his tongue: "This Liu Yingshi is too daring, he couldn't ask to move, he even elected an emperor, and he also took away the food raised in the capital earlier, and took care of him again. Isn't the waterway, Kyoto and the surrounding towns all short of food?"

Pang Xiao nodded thoughtfully: "In times of trouble, there must be such people. This Liu Yingshi is a very scheming person, and his actions are extremely unfavorable to us."

"Why?" Huzi asked strangely, "That 'Houyan' cut off all the food and grass in the capital of Dayan, isn't it just right for us to attack the city?"

"That's right, but at first my eyes were on the whole of Dayan. When Liu Yingshi made such a fuss, Dayan was split into two halves. In the past, as long as the capital was captured, Dayan would be in the bag. There is also a queen."

Pang Xiao got up and paced and said, "Our treasury is also unable to support it. If we only capture the capital and control Yuchiyan, we can still hold on to it. But now that we have conquered the capital, we can only capture the group of Kyoto and destroy them. The only thing that has been lost is the former Yan Dynasty, so I'm afraid it will be bad."

Hu Zi thought about it and understood: "This surnamed Liu really knows how to choose the time."

"I can't control that much. Take the capital first and let's talk about it. After all, Yan Chao will also have the word "Swallow". In the end, Dayan will surely die in the hands of Da Zhou."

"That's right. Now the city of Kyoto has become an island without food, and it won't last long." Hu Zi was in high spirits.

"We're going as soon as possible."

Pang Xiao walked to the map and carefully studied the countermeasures. He must end this war as soon as possible, because Qin Yining is in the capital city that is about to run out of food.

He didn't want her to starve and suffer.

At this time, the city of Kyoto was already in chaos.

The court has just auctioned off a large number of idle jobs to improve the status of businessmen. During these days, grain and grass have been transported into the capital one after another. The common people have not been happy for a few days, and there is news that Lu’s grain and grass have been robbed, and Hou Yan is building a dynasty in Baochang.

The people of Kyoto are in a panic!

The capital of the Great Yan Dynasty was Kyoto.

The emperor is Emperor Kang of Yuan, what kind of thing is that Houyan!

This is simply a mess of scoundrels and thieves, to find an excuse to grab food with the people and guards in Kyoto!

The panicked people blocked the gates of the Yamen and Xuansuguan, and wanted to find someone to give them an explanation, but this time, both the Yamen and Xuansuguan were closed.

The people went to the grain store and rice shop to buy grain, but all the grain shops closed their doors and hung up signs that they were closed. It is around the granary in Kyoto, and there are also layers of handles with heavy troops.

The people were excited and rampaged in the streets, and then returned home disappointed. After a few days of tossing, some people began to leave Kyoto with their families.

However, after three days out, the outer city gates were heavily guarded by heavy soldiers, and they had to go through strict inspections when entering and leaving the city.

Some people clashed with the defenders, shouting: "The capital will be captured, we ordinary people have nothing to eat or drink, are we waiting to die here! We are going to the south to defect to Houyan!"

Before the man could finish speaking, he was dragged down by the defenders. He took off his pants and beat him with forty sticks on the spot. He beat the man with more air and less air. His wife and children cried and carried the man back to the city.

Such a situation can be found at any gate of the outer city.

While the people were panicking, they were also full of dissatisfaction with the imperial court.

If they can't be protected and they are not allowed to escape, it is no wonder that some people say that the Dayan Dynasty deserves to be subjugated...

At this time, Yuchi Yan was already devastated.

He strode into the Taihuang's bedroom and said to his face, "Imperial Father! Now that there is chaos outside, Yuchi Xujie has actually proclaimed himself the emperor, turning the areas from the south of Baochang to the coast into his own territory, establishing a Later Yan Dynasty! Father Emperor, if you refuse to reveal the whereabouts of that batch of silver, our Dayan will really die!"

The emperor was lying on his side on the bed, smoking a hookah leisurely, and squinting in enjoyment.

"You are the emperor of Dayan, and it is up to you whether the country will be subjugated or not. What does it have to do with me?"

Yuchi Yan looked at the emperor in disbelief: "Father, don't you have any feelings for this country? You were once the master of Dayan after all! What's the use of your greed for such a large sum of money? Do you expect yourself to go out and build a dynasty? How much money can a person spend in a lifetime, do you still want to enjoy it yourself? Can your conscience be at ease! Now it is serious business to take out this huge sum of money to protect Dayan!"

"Cut! It counts as a subjugated country, and I am not the king of the subjugated country. What am I in a hurry? Don't bother me again, go out!"

Yuchi Yan's head was buzzing with anger, and her eyes turned black for a while. If it wasn't for Eunuch Lu's quick-witted eyes, Yuchi Yan would have fallen to the ground in a fit of anger.

This is his father!

This is the real reason the father emperor gave him the Zen throne.

Not because of his talent, but because there is no other candidate, nor because the father really wants to be in the Zen throne, but because the father does not want to be the king of the subjugated country, let him come to the top!

Unable to beat or scold, or arguing but persuading, Yuchiyan walked down the long street in despair, looking at the blue sky, her eyes full of desolation and despair.

Is it really the day that Dayan will die?

"You said, should I agree to move the capital?" Yuchiyan asked Eunuch Lu next to him.

Eunuch Lu hurriedly said: "Emperor, if you agree to move the capital, maybe you will be in ambush when you arrive in Baochang! That Liu Yingshi is not at all uneasy and kind, maybe he doesn't want you to move the capital at all, but wants to deceive you, he wants to be Dayan The master of the dynasty!"

Yuchiyan smiled bitterly and said: "Why don't I know that I refused to do so at first. But if I agree, maybe Dayan will be fine, maybe I don't have to be the king of the subjugated country, and I won't be recorded by meticulous history books. So unbearable."

Eunuch Lu lowered his head, these words are really not something he can say as an inner supervisor.

At this moment, a guard rushed to report: "Return to the emperor! The Hu Ben army launched a general attack. Although Duke An Guo closed the city gate and refused to fight, the Hu Ben army came fiercely and surrounded the capital city. !"

When Yuchi Yan heard the words, she looked up at the sky with a pale face and shouted: "Heaven wants to kill me, God wants to kill me!"

When Qin Huaiyuan was in front of An Guogong Li Mian to defend the city, Qin Yining was gathering all the Qin family in Cixiaoyuan to announce his decision:

"Moving? Sister Yi, where are we moving to at this time?"
