My Parents Are Omnipotent

Chapter 397: Pursue separately (Happy National Day~)

  After hearing the words of his lieutenant general, the general who defended the city suddenly became brilliant.

  Hesitating for a moment, he said to his lieutenant general: "Surrender, where can we go?"

  They are all natives of the capital, and they still have their wives and children at home. Could it be that they can abandon their family and pursue the royal family of the Great Zhou that has already abandoned them?

  The general who defended the city did not want to be treated as an abandoned son again, nor did he want his subordinates to continue to make unnecessary sacrifices for the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

  He jumped onto the city wall and ordered his subordinates to signal their retreat with semaphore.

   When most of the imperial guards retreated quickly according to the order, the city guard general used some internal strength and began to shout at the Xie family army who was chasing and beating the imperial guards.

   "The imperial guards are willing to surrender to the Xie family, and please ask the Xie family's general Ming Jin to withdraw!"

  As soon as he shouted, all the imperial guards and Xie Jiajun present subconsciously stopped what they were doing.

  The general who defended the city took the opportunity to shout again, "All the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard listen to my order, put down their weapons immediately, and squat down on the spot with their heads in their hands."

  A small half of the soldiers of the Imperial Guard subconsciously listened to the orders of the generals defending the city, but the remaining half of the soldiers of the Imperial Guard still held their weapons and hesitated.

  The guarding general was heartbroken, "The empress dowager and the emperor have already fled, who are you going to fight for?"

  As soon as he said this, the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard who originally planned to throw away their flesh and blood for the sake of Da Zhou were dumbfounded.

   They raised their heads subconsciously and looked at their general standing on the city wall, as if they wanted to see something from his face.

  The city guard general took a deep breath, "The loyal monarch has abandoned us. Now we should consider our parents, wives and children."

  He showed his true feelings, everyone saw his bent back because of being stabbed in the back by the monarch, and those who were close even saw his red eye sockets.

   After a moment of silence, the remaining guards also put down their weapons one after another.

  The situation made them feel that it was a joke for them to believe the Queen Mother's nonsense.

  What is it to protect the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou to the death, what is it to protect the people in the capital without retreating, and co-authoring is a false taste that only applies to them?

  Their lives are not their lives, but the lives of nobles are their lives?

   Their mood is not important either. The nobles can lie to them as much as they want, and throw them away when they want?

   Anger gradually gathered in everyone's hearts, but they didn't know who they should vent it to.

  A group of people threw down their weapons as the city guard general said, and squatted obediently on the side of the street with their heads in their arms, waiting for Xie Jiajun to come and arrest them.

   The vanguard generals of the Xie family army who were in charge of attacking the city were Ye Song and Hua Liang. This was arranged by Xie Yuan against all odds, in order for them to quickly accumulate credit with the help of Ye Anlan and Li Jing.

  After them, the senior generals of the Xie family army, including Xie Yuan, were in charge of commanding the Chinese army.

  After receiving the urgent military report sent back by Ye Song and Hua Liang, these people immediately led the remaining Xie family soldiers into the former Great Zhou capital with its gates wide open.

  The city is no longer as bustling as it used to be. Those ordinary people who can only resign themselves to their fate in the event of a war dare not go out to wander around at this time, and half of those who dare to go out to participate in it have already fled and half surrendered.

   The pragmatic Xie Yuan was very careful not to show off too much in front of the enemy soldiers, nor did he rush into the palace immediately.

  He regarded the former Xie family mansion as his foothold. This house has been in Xie's hands for more than a hundred years. It was not until Xie Yuan's grandfather passed away and the rest of the Xie family avoided the capital that this house fell into the hands of others.

  Now the queen dowager's henchman who has occupied the magpie's nest and robbed the Xie family's mansion as a separate courtyard has followed the queen mother and the emperor, and the Xie family's house has naturally fallen into Xie Yuan's hands.

  He asked people to tidy up the house briefly, and then immediately plunged into the study and started to deal with business.

  The Imperial Guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty who had surrendered, he sent his generals and counselors to check, recruit, and train, and he also sent scouts to investigate the whereabouts of the escaped queen mother and emperor.

   It is worth mentioning that Xie Yuan didn't intend to let those family members of the Great Zhou royal family escape in groups.

  In order for himself and his descendants not to have to deal with the endless "remnants of the previous dynasty", Xie Yuan decided to put all influential members of the Great Zhou royal family in one place for unified captivity.

   In addition, he also intends to set an example, so that these members of the former royal family can see that it is good to submit to the new dynasty.

  He already has a candidate for this role model, and when he formally enthrones and founds the country, he will set the other party up as an example.

  Thinking about these things, Xie Yuan quickly started a new wave of dispatching troops.

  Pingkang County King and his eldest son were sent to the team hunting down the royal family members. Their task was to help Xie Jiajun persuade the fleeing royal family members to surrender to the Xie family.

  Another team was in charge of hunting down the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's Xie Jiajun, and Xie Yuan was handed over to Pei Yuanjiang.

  Along with him are Pei Huaiyu who acts as a counselor, two young generals whom Xie Yuan focused on training—Hua Liang and Ye Song, and two generals Wei Zhen and Shi Rong who also came from the Ye family.

  They took the elite Xie family that had been transferred over, and hurriedly chased after the queen mother and others who left Beijing in a hurry.

  Coincidentally, although the Queen Mother and the other members of the royal family chose different gates to leave the city, they all fled in the southwest direction.

  Uh, well, actually, this is not a coincidence, after all, they have no other place to go except Southwest ╮(︶﹏︶)╭

The southwest is the territory of the Zhao family. Although the Zhao family is also one of the rebels to the Great Zhou court, no matter whether it is the Queen Mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty or the royal family members, they all agree that they will go to the Zhao family's territory. have the greatest chance of escape.

They think this way, firstly because Xie's soldiers are stronger than Zhao's, and if they run to Xie's territory, it is almost like throwing themselves into a trap, and secondly because they believe in " The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

  They believe that the Zhao family will definitely not want to see the Xie family dominate, even if they dare not face it head-on, the Zhao family will definitely find an opportunity to make things difficult for the Xie family.

   And they, a group of members of the Da Zhou royal family, dignitaries and dignitaries who were driven into panic by Xie Shi, are undoubtedly the ones who will actively add trouble to Xie Shi.

  Although it would make them feel miserable to send themselves to others to take advantage of, but other than that, they couldn't think of any reason why Mrs. Zhao would turn a blind eye to them.

  Of course, these private considerations, for the sake of their poor dignity, they will not say it outright.

   When they went here, the obvious statement was not "I offered to send you to your door as a saber", but "we are relatives after all".
