Chapter 569: Song Kingdom Destroyed

Following the deaths of Zhang Dun and Yang Zhong, the Song army also lost its main commander.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

The Han army soldiers who charged into the city shouted in unison.

"General Zhang and General Yang are both dead; there is no point in us resisting anymore."

"The Great Song is already finished; these Great Song soldiers cannot die like this anymore!"

"We are willing to surrender!"

Several Song army generals discussed it and led the remaining Song army to surrender to Lü Bu and the others.

They were only mid-level generals in the Song army and did not have the consciousness to die for the Great Song.

"Xiahou Yuan, Sun Ce, you clear the resistance in the city; others follow this General to the Imperial Palace."

Seeing a large number of Song troops surrendering, Lü Bu also knew that this battle had basically ended.

He immediately gave an order and took Ma Chao, Gan Ning, and Taishi Ci to charge toward the Song Kingdom's Imperial Palace with the army.

At this time, in the Imperial Palace, news of the Han army entering the city had already been received.

A group of eunuchs and palace maids were all running toward the outside of the Imperial Palace.

Even many concubines in the harem were fleeing toward the outside of the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Great Song is finished; the Han army is already charging toward the Imperial Palace."

"General Zhang Dun and General Yang Zhong have been beheaded by the Han army generals."

"The Left Prime Minister and Right Prime Minister have already led the officials to the Imperial Court; looking at their appearance, they should be wanting to surrender to the Han Kingdom!"

In the Imperial Study of Zhao Xu, the old eunuch looked indignant and knelt before Zhao Xu, saying to him.

"Hahahaha!"

"I did not expect that my dignified Great Song would perish in my hands!"

"I have failed the ancestors of the Great Song!"

"I am a sinner of the Great Song!"

Zhao Xu, until now, still could not believe that his Great Song had ended just like that.

Since he ascended the throne, it was not easy for the Empress Dowager to die, and he finally took power.

He did not expect that before he could display his ambitions, a Han Kingdom would appear out of thin air.

In just one month, it defeated his Great Song.

"Han Kingdom, I want to see where you people popped out from!"

After speaking, Zhao Xu led the old eunuch toward the Imperial Court.

And at this time, in the Imperial Court of the Great Song, Sima Guang and Lü Gongzhu had already led a group of civil and military officials together.

"Everyone, the Han army is about to attack the Imperial Palace. Prime Minister Lü and I have decided to submit to the Han Kingdom."

"If anyone among you wants to be loyal to the Great Song with His Majesty, we will not stop you."

Right Prime Minister Sima Guang scanned the crowd with cold eyes and said coldly.

"We are willing to submit to the Han Kingdom with the two adults!"

The officials heard Sima Guang's words and shouted in unison.

Now, those who could stand here were all from Sima Guang and Lü Gongzhu's faction; how could these people refute their words?

Seeing this scene, Sima Guang and Lü Gongzhu looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction.

"Since that is the case, everyone will wait for the arrival of the Han Kingdom general with this Prime Minister."

As Sima Guang's voice fell, Zhao Xu walked in with the old eunuch.

"You are all my good officials!"

"The Great Song has not perished yet!"

"You are already in such a hurry to defect to the Han Kingdom!"

At this time, Zhao Xu was so angry that his whole body was trembling.

These were the good officials of his Great Song.

"Your Majesty, things have come to this; this Prime Minister will speak directly. Now the Great Song has lost the general trend, and we also need to consider ourselves."

"As the saying goes, heaven destroys those who do not look out for themselves!"

Lü Gongzhu heard Zhao Xu's scolding, bowed to him, and said with a serious face, but the respect in his eyes had disappeared without a trace.

"What about you? Do you all want to surrender to the Han Kingdom?"

Zhao Xu ignored him and looked at the others, asking.

"Please forgive us, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Zhao Xu's gaze, everyone also lowered their heads unconsciously.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"You... are all good officials of my Great Song!"

Zhao Xu saw this scene, pointed at the crowd, and roared tremblingly.

And at the same time, Lü Bu and the others also arrived in the Imperial Palace.

"Hehehe, I did not expect everyone to be here!"

"This saves this General quite a bit of effort!"

Lü Bu and the four led a group of Great Han soldiers into the Imperial Court and saw this scene, could not help but be happy.

"We pay respects to the General."

Looking at the Han army soldiers around them with cold eyes, the group of Song Kingdom officials were all somewhat terrified and hurriedly saluted Lü Bu and the others.

"Good fellow!"

"You, as the Song Kingdom Emperor..."

Lü Bu and the others were also shocked by the actions of these Song Kingdom officials.

The Song Kingdom Emperor was still here, and these officials had already started to lean toward them.

However, this was a good thing for them.

"Someone, first take these Song Kingdom officials away and wait for the Emperor to arrive before dealing with them!"

The Han army soldiers behind him heard this and immediately took everyone away.

As for the screams of those officials, they turned a deaf ear.

Subsequently, Lü Bu looked at Zhao Xu.

"This humble official Su Shi pays respects to the Emperor!"

To tell the truth, Lü Bu was quite impressed with Zhao Xu.

Facing them, Zhao Xu did not show any timidity.

This point was much stronger than other Emperors he had met.

"I am quite curious about your Great Han Empire."

"I have never even heard of you martial generals."

"Your Great Han seems to have appeared out of thin air; this makes me very puzzled!"

Regarding his own fate, Zhao Xu did not care, but instead asked Lü Bu with full confusion.

"Hehehe!"

Hearing Zhao Xu's words, Lü Bu and the four could not help but look at each other and smile.

Subsequently, Lü Bu explained to Zhao Xu:

"This matter is not a secret. Our Great Han was not originally from this world, so of course you would not know the details of our Great Han."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu's pupils shrank, and he asked in shock:

"What!"

"Could it be that there are really people from outside the heavens in this world?"

In the history of the Tianlong world, such a bizarre thing had never happened.

"This General would not lie to you."

"This General sees that you, as an Emperor, still have some backbone, unlike some other Emperors who are weak and incompetent."

"As long as you are willing to submit to our Great Han Empire, I believe the Emperor will definitely spare you. At that time, as a citizen of our Great Han Empire, you will get more and better things than you have now."

"I hope you will consider it carefully."

After Lü Bu finished speaking, he had the Shenwu Army soldiers take Zhao Xu away.

"This Zhao Xu is indeed different from other Emperors; I hope he cherishes this opportunity."

After Zhao Xu was taken away, Ma Chao could not help but say. ===== CHAPTER 570 =====
