Chapter 2501 Li Mu and Yang Jian surrendered to Qin


    Chapter 2498: Li Mu and Yang Jian surrender to Qin


    Squeak…


    The whole body is made of fine steel and weighs a thousand pounds, and is slowly pushed open with the joint efforts of dozens of soldiers.


    The door has only been opened for a single crack, and there are many kinds of lights such as bright yellow and bright colors, which shine from the Ku Mansion, making many people unable to open their eyes.


    Soon, the doors were all wide open, and what caught my eye was a large number of gold and silver bricks, piled up like a hill.


    There are as many as ten silver brick mountains, and there are fewer gold brick mountains, only two.


    In addition, there are also a large number of statues such as golden dragons, gold Buddhas, silver horses, etc. made of pure gold and silver, and there are nearly a hundred cars of antiques, jade, corals, agate, calligraphy and paintings.


    As for copper coins, they were placed in other warehouses and installed in several warehouses, roughly estimated to be as many as billions.


    “Hiss…”


    After seeing this scene, everyone took a breath, and many people showed a hint of greed, but they did not dare to move at all.


    The Qin Dynasty has strict laws. Except for some of the assets seized in the war, the rest must be turned over to the state treasury.


    This is an iron law. Those who dare to violate the crime will be treason.


    "Good, how much is this? I''m afraid the treasury of Daqin is not so much wealth, right?" Jia Fu couldn''t help but say to himself.


    Ban Chao nodded. The generals did not know the wealth in the Great Qin treasury, but as a civil servant, he still knew a little about it.


    The Great Qin treasury does not have that much money. Although the Great Qin earns a lot of money every year, the major domestic projects, as well as the salaries of military and officials, also spend a lot of money.


    This has been made. Although the money that can be left in the Great Qin treasury is still an astronomical figure for all countries, it does not have as much wealth accumulated by the Guandong and Guanxi families in a century.


    Of course, for Daqin, the greatest value of wealth is not to stay in the treasury, but to spend it.


    Ban Chao didn''t know the specific value of wealth, after all, even Li Shimin had not counted this comparison of wealth.


    If you want to know the value of this compared to wealth, it is impossible to count it in less than four or five days.


    "Li Shimin slaughtered all the Chang''an family, and it is a good thing. Such a big comparison of wealth will make me cheaper than me." Ban Chao said with a smile.


    Wang Jian also nodded in agreement. After all, the amount of money is too large than Hengfu, second only to the wealth amount obtained in the treasure of God before.


    With this money in hand, the Qin Dynasty would save even military expenses in the next battle in the Central Plains.


    This time the credit was too great.


    After a brief look at the treasury, Wang Jian ordered the sealing of the treasury mansion to be accepted by the people from the court. He then sent Gongsun Xuanyuan and Jia Fu to lead the iron cavalry out of the city and chased the remnants of the Tang army who fled from Chang''an.


    The last group of pursuers has returned, but except for Li Jue, the rest of the people were helpless, and only Li Jue captured Yin Kaishan and returned.


    It is naturally not enough to capture Yin Kaishan, so Wang Jian sent a second batch of search troops, a total of tens of thousands of troops, and was determined to eliminate all the remnants of Li Tang who had escaped.


    Looking at Yin Kaishan, who was covered in scars, Ban Chao greeted him and smiled faintly, "General Yin, we are meeting again."


    When he was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, Yin Kaishan was responsible for the escort. Now he has achieved good results, but the other party has become a prisoner at the bottom.


    Yin Kaishan said very hard: "If you want to kill, you must be cut off, you will be willing to do it."


    "Why do you have to? You should also understand that the reason why Li Tang exists is entirely due to Li Shimin. Now even Li Shimin is dead. Li Tang''s destruction of the country is only a matter of time. Do you still want to die for Li Tang?" Ban Chao said.


    "What? The lord died? This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible."


    Yin Kaishan''s face was full of disbelief and could not believe that the news was true.


    Ban Chao shrugged. If Li Shimin''s body had not been sent to Baling to persuade the defenders of Baling, he could have let Yin Kaishan see Li Shimin''s body.


    Seeing that Yin Kaishan looked like he was unbelievable, Ban Chao knew that nothing was useless, so he waved his hand and ordered him to be taken down and take care of him strictly.


    "Report... Report to Lord Yang''s house, something happened to the Yang family."


    Hearing this, Ban Chao asked quickly, "What accident?"


    "Old Grand Marshal Yang Biao committed suicide by hanging himself."


    "What?"


    Ban Chao was shocked and rushed to Yang''s mansion, but at that time he found that Wang Jian and Li Cunxiao had already arrived one step ahead of him.


    Ban Chao squeezed into the audience, and saw Yang Biao''s body hanging on the beam of the room, while a child knelt in front of Yang Biao''s body, his eyes were red, but he forced himself to not cry.


    "Who is this child?" Ban Chao asked.


    "The only two survivors of the Yang family are Yang Chan, one is Yang Jian''s sister, and the other is him, Yang Jian''s nephew, Yang Chenxiang.


    Speaking of which, this child is really pitiful. He was born into a prominent family, but overnight, the whole family was robbed. He witnessed his biological father''s tragic death, his mother was seriously injured and dying, and now his only grandfather has committed suicide.


    If ordinary people suffered this disaster, they would have collapsed long ago, but this child did not, which was rare. "Wang Jian sighed softly.


    Ban Chao felt guilty when he heard this.


    Although the Yang family''s tragic destruction was planned by Li Si, it has nothing to do with him, and now Li Si has been killed. Logically speaking, this matter should be understood here, but he is the only few remaining people who know the truth.


    "Yang Jian fought **** battles on the front line, but his own people were killed. It''s not what Yang Jian would feel after he learned the news." Li Cunxiao sneered.


    Originally, he had some changes in Li Shimin''s courage to act before his death, but after learning that the Yang family was destroyed by Li Tang, he only felt that he was too stupid and would actually sympathize with Li Shimin, the madman.


    He shouldn''t have stopped at the beginning. He gave Li Shimin a chance to commit suicide, so he should have killed him mercilessly. Li Cunxiao thought in annoyance. Looking at Yang Biao''s body that had been removed from the beam of the room, Ban Chao sighed softly, "Old Grandmaster, why are you doing this?"


    There are two reasons why Yang Biao can’t think of it and commit suicide:


    First, it was because he helped Li Tang, not Sui Yang, that the Yang family was eventually destroyed by Li Tang, which made him no longer have the face to live.


    Secondly, it is because of his identity as an imperial party and has always been an enemy of Daqin. If he is still alive, even if Daqin does not pursue it, it will definitely not be a good thing for Yang Jian, Yang Chan and Chenxiang.


    Yang Biao''s old bones have been alive for a few years. For the sake of the last incense and continuation of the Yang family, he used his life to exchange it for the full value.


    Just as everyone was talking about Yang Biao''s death, Xiao Chenxiang stood up and walked to Wang Jian and said, "I can help Daqin persuade my uncle Yang Jian to surrender."


    Hearing this, Wang Jian, Ban Chao and Li Cunxiao were all stunned.


    Li Cunxiao touched Chenxiang''s head and smiled and said, "Child, you are still young, and you can''t participate in the affairs of adults."


    "That''s right, your mother has woken up, so you''d better go and spend more time with your mother." Ban Chao said.


    "No, I''m going to go. My uncle loves me the most. He will definitely believe me if I know what Li Shimin did, he will definitely turn aside the darkness and turn to the light."


    Looking at the stubborn Agarwood, Li Cunxiao and Ban Chao shook their heads, thinking that the child was a little sad.


    After a little thought, Wang Jian nodded and said, "Okay, since you insist, I will fulfill your wishes. But the ugly words are ahead, and you can''t blame others for dying on the battlefield."


    “Thank you, General.”


    Wang Jian sent dozens of cavalry to **** Chenxiang to Baling, and also caught up with Li Maozhen who was escorting Li Shimin''s body halfway.


    After a whole day of rushing, Li Maozhen successfully arrived at the Baling Camp with exhausted little agarwood and met the Qin army''s chief governor Li Jing, as well as generals such as Wu Qi and Sun Lingming.


    At this time, the Baling Camp had completely changed.


    With the arrival of the 100,000 troops in Sizhou, the Qin army now has 130,000 troops in Baling, so naturally it has become larger and can accommodate more than 100,000 troops.


    Before Li Jing arrived, Wu Qi was attacking Baling fiercely, but Li Mu had no flaw in his defense. The Qin army lost three armies, 12,000 surrendered troops, totaling nearly 15,000 troops, but still failed to break through Baling City.


    Seeing that the casualties were too great, Wu Qi did not dare to attack blindly, and was planning to wait for Li Jing''s main force to arrive.


    What Wu Qi didn''t know was that his attack was not useless. Li Mu in the city was about to run out of ammunition and food. If he persisted for three days, he would definitely break the city, but he gave up on his own initiative, which gave Li Mu a chance to breathe.


    Wu Qi naturally knew this, but if the casualties were too great, he would have failed even if he captured Baling. It would be better to leave it to Li Jing to solve it.


    Wu Qi, who has been invincible since his debut, has encountered the first setback in Baling City. When he meets Li Mu, who cannot defend himself, even the military saints are powerless.


    Li Jing led his army to Baling and received news that Li Cunxiao Banchao had already captured Chang''an and only paid the price of 500 cavalry.


    Li Jing never expected that this attack on Guanzhong would be so smooth.


    The 100,000 main army had not yet participated in the war, and relying solely on six side divisions, they occupied and captured Chang''an City.


    Is this the Qin army so capable of fighting? Or did he overestimate Li Tang?


    Although Li Jing did not feel much involved in this Guanzhong battle from beginning to end, the overall strategic plan was planned by him, and he arranged the spies in Chang''an City in advance, so even if he was disconnected throughout the entire battle, his greatest contribution to this battle was still his.


    Li Jing looked at Li Maozhen and Chenxiang below, and after thinking for a little thought, he sent a civil official to take Xiao Chenxiang to Baling to persuade Li Mu and Yang Jian to surrender. At the same time, he asked Li Maozhen to show Li Shimin''s body to the entire city to the defenders outside the city, and persuade the defenders throughout the city to surrender.


    Although the Qin Dynasty had Li Shimin''s body, there were many ways to disguise in the world, which could not prove that this was true at all. However, it could also make the defenders in the city suspicious. The way to truly destroy their morale and display depends on Li Maozhen and Xiao Chenxiang.


    Li Maozhen is a member of the Li Tang royal family. He has surrendered to Qin and appears in Baling. Something must have happened in Chang''an, not to mention that Yang Jian''s nephew is also here.


    After two hours of persuading to surrender, the gate of Baling City suddenly opened wide, and Li Mu took Yang Jian, Li Zuoche, Wuji, Yang Ren, Lei Zhenzi and others out of the city to seek the Qin army surrender.


    Regardless of whether Baling City is about to be unable to hold on.


    From Chenxiang''s mouth, after learning about what happened in Chang''an, the Tang generals of Baling were collectively uproared.


    Renren never expected that his lord Li Shimin would be so crazy that he would destroy all the aristocratic families in Chang''an City, including the Hongnong Yang family.


    Although Wu Qi said this before, the generals in the city didn''t believe it at all, thinking that it was the Qin army lying to them and wanted to use it to force them to surrender.


    But Li Maozhen and Chen Xiang could not say panic. Since even they said so, this matter may be true, and Li Shimin is really dead, and Chang''an was also occupied by the Qin army.


    The amount of information brought by agarwood is too large. Each of the two evil words of the generals of Baling is a bolt from the blue.


    Now Chang''an is in the fall, even if Li Shimin died in battle, Baling has become an isolated city, and it has been smashed into a series of great thunder. The people inside Baling are in chaos. Generals from aristocratic families hate Li Tang to the core, and generals from civilians are also extremely disappointed with Li Tang.


    The reason why Baling can persist until now is unity. Now that people are in chaos, it is naturally impossible to continue to defend. Apart from surrender, there is no other way to go.


    After a night of contemplation, Li Mu summoned the generals in the city to vote for whether to surrender, and the result was a unanimous vote, so he opened the city and surrendered to Li Jing.


    "The last general Li Mu led 8,000 defenders of Baling to surrender to General Li Jing."


    Li Mu shouted and presented Li Jing with the seal of the roster.


    He arrived at Wuqi''s 50,000 troops with 20,000 troops. After a full half month, only eight thousand people are left.


    After Li Jing sealed the seal, he helped Li Mu up and comforted him: "The general abandons the darkness and turns to the light, which is really a blessing for the general and the people."


    “Yang Jian.”


    After seeing Yang Jian, Sun Lingming immediately shouted and smiled and walked up there. But Yang Jian had no intention of greeting him. What he wanted most now was to go back to Chang''an and see his seriously injured sister Yang Chan.
