Chapter 2521 The surrendered officials of the Eastern Barbarians, Youde takes Dongping

"Ding! Xing Tian has killed Yelü Abaoji. The reward is a permanent increase of 1 in four random attributes: Strength +1, Intelligence +1, Politics +1, and Charm +1."

Xing Tian's current attributes have increased to: Command 62, Strength 109 (+1), Intelligence 57 (+1), Politics 55 (+1), and Charisma 93 (+1).

"call!"

Xing Tian threw away his heavy shield and sat down directly on the pile of corpses that looked like a small mountain, letting out a heavy sigh.

Under such intense fighting, the battle has escalated to this point, and even Xing Tian is exhausted.

Beneath his feet lay a complete pile of corpses.

In the final moment, Di Hong, Han Shan, Yelü Laogu, Yelü Yindishi, Yelü Anduan, and even civil officials like Kang Moji, Guyidocha, Han Zhigu, and Ma Gonghui, all of whom were already seriously injured, stood in front of the critically wounded and dying Yelü Abaoji.

Unfortunately, Xing Tian was exhausted after a day of fighting.

But those who stood in his way were not only more exhausted, but also had more and more serious injuries.

Even though they rushed forward one after another to block Yelü Abaoji's path, they ultimately could not change the outcome.

For Xing Tian, ​​it was simply a matter of giving him a few more credits.

At that very moment, as Xing Tian's battle axe pierced through Yelü Abaoji's body, and as the battle before the Eastern Yi palace finally came to an end, the shouts of killing on the battlefield gradually subsided.

A deep, muffled crash, accompanied by the sound of breaking wood and collapsing bricks, came from the depths of the palace behind us, a symbol of the century-long reign of the Dongyi people.

Meanwhile, inside the Dongyi royal palace, crimson flames suddenly burst forth from the palace windows, doors, and eaves!

The flames greedily licked at the gilded beams, painted murals, and brocade curtains, quickly merging into a raging inferno that shot into the sky.

The fire spread extremely quickly and fiercely, giving no one a chance to save it; it was clearly deliberately set on fire.

The flames crackled and burned ever brighter, gradually engulfing the outline of the palace and illuminating the bloody battlefield as if it were daytime.

The one who set the fire was none other than Empress Shulü Ping, the wife of Yelü Abaoji.

She originally had the opportunity to leave; her virtuous wife was naturally included in the evacuation list arranged by Yelü Abaoji.

However, she declined Yelü Abaoji's offer and instead resolved to stand with him, to sacrifice their blood and flesh for the country.

If a country or a nation is truly destined to perish, those who die with it should not only be its ruler, but also its queen.

"What a pity!" Han Xin muttered to himself as he gazed at the Dongyi imperial palace, which was about to turn to ashes.

If such a massive palace were burned down, there would be almost no chance of rebuilding it. The Han Dynasty would not have continued large-scale construction here at this time.

"General Han, right now, controlling the fire and preventing it from spreading to the surrounding areas is the most important thing. Posting notices to reassure the people is also crucial!" Wen Zhong reminded him from the side. Although the fire is currently confined to the Dongyi Imperial Palace, such a large fire will inevitably spread to the surrounding areas of the capital if it is not controlled.

The capital city is a large city with a population of over one million. If a fire were to break out, the consequences would be far more severe than just widespread death and destruction.

By then, even if they won the battle, they would have been guilty of wrongdoing but not of merit, and they would all be waiting to be demoted and stripped of their titles.

Furthermore, since the capital city is now in their hands, and Yelü Abaoji is already dead.

Therefore, this place will become the land of the Han Dynasty, and its people will become the people of the Han Dynasty.

If this fire is not controlled and instead starts to burn, it will be the Han Dynasty that suffers the loss.

Han Xin nodded in agreement with Wen Zhong's suggestion, entrusting the task to Hulü Guang, while assigning the task of posting notices to reassure the people to Wen Zhong.

In this respect, Wen Zhong was more adept than Han Xin.

Moreover, Wen Zhong had served as an official in Xiping Road for nearly ten years, and he was far more knowledgeable about the situation in Dongyi than Han Xin. In terms of how to quickly stabilize the people's hearts, no one here combined could match Wen Zhong.

As expected, Wen Zhong lived up to Han Xin's expectations. He boldly and directly appointed a large number of officials who originally belonged to the Eastern Yi, such as Han Deshu, Guo Xi, Wang Ding, Zhang Zhen, Li Junyu, Wen Chong, Liu Zhen, Han Fang, and Bian Guandao, to help them stabilize the current situation.

Whether these people surrendered voluntarily or were captured alive, since they have survived until now and even shown a willingness to submit, they are people that Wen Zhong can use.

Those who were truly loyal, even if they did not die in battle with Yelü Abaoji, had already escaped to Beiping and joined Yelü Deguang.

Of the rest, even those captured alive by the burly men had almost all committed suicide in prison.

The most typical example is Qi Shu, who was captured alive on orders from Hulü Guang. Almost on the same day, he bit off his tongue and committed suicide, giving the Han people no chance to persuade him to surrender.

Since these people are still alive, it means they are all people who can be persuaded, not to mention those who have already accepted the offer after Wen Zhong gave them a way out.

These people may not be able to gain Wen Zhong's trust, but loyalty and trust are not always useful; sometimes, value is more important.

Coincidentally, these people are valuable at this time.

In addition, Wen Zhong collaborated with Luo Wang Wang Lianhua, using every means to strike at the Dongyi Dark Army's forces.

After Xiping Road was taken over, it was these secret agents who kept stirring up small-scale civil unrest in the heart of Xiping Road. Although they did not damage their foundation, they made it difficult for their rear to be completely stable.

Having learned from his mistakes, Wen Zhong was extremely wary and vigilant about the underground forces of the Eastern Barbarians, such as the Dark Army.

Of course, although Shangjing Prefecture has been captured and even Yelü Abaoji is dead, the battle is not over yet. It can only be said that the battle is coming to an end, and Han Xin still needs to resolve the issues in Dongping Road and Nanping Road.

Just as Han Xin was preparing to lead his troops eastward to completely seize Dongping Road according to the original plan, news came first that Fu Youde had already completely taken over Dongping Road.
