Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 150 Where Did the Emperor Go?
Pan Mei led all the armored cavalry, and the Southern Han infantry who came in a hurry could not withstand it, and were quickly scattered.

The general of the Song Army was still waiting to lead the troops in pursuit, but was ordered to stop by Pan Mei: "Stop! I don't need to enter the city for now, just guard the gate!"

Although the city has been successfully stolen, there are only more than [-] soldiers and horses after all. It is obviously a very stupid thing to put such a small amount of soldiers into the consumption of street fighting.

Not long after Chen Yu left, the city of Panyu was on fire, and countless people were crying and screaming. It could be seen from the north gate, roughly in the direction of the Southern Han Dynasty Palace.

Pan Mei led [-] soldiers to stay at the north gate, and strictly ordered no soldier to enter the city. She seemed to have never heard of the chaotic scenes in the Southern Han Palace.

The Song army was a little worried. After all, their strength was too small. If the Southern Han defenders took this opportunity to gather in groups and make another desperate counterattack, their 700 troops would be killed for less than half an hour. clean!
A nephew of Pan Mei's family also acted as a general in the army. Because he had a special relationship with Pan Mei, he was less scrupled about speaking. Let the horses enter the city and sweep it up, lest the other generation gather to counterattack? After all, we only have 700 soldiers, so it is better to take the initiative."

"It's not bad that you can think that a general should take the initiative." Pan Mei nodded her head in praise, and then grinned a sly smile: "They don't know that we only have 700 soldiers, let alone the civil strife in the city right now." The army's morale is scattered, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, no matter how many there are, they are just a group of mobs who have no fighting spirit, why do you mind?"

He paused, then laughed again: "If there are soldiers and horses who dare to counterattack and seize the door, this general will give them a high regard!"

Sure enough, as expected by Pan Mei, from the time of the fourth watch until the dawn of the day, among the large number of Southern Han defenders in Panyu City, none of them was able to gather any soldiers and horses to counterattack and seize the gate. The squad of sergeants, who barely waited for the engagement to disperse.

By the time the commotion in the direction of the Nanhan Palace gradually subsided, the east was already dimly lit.

Pan Mei guessed in her heart that Chen Yu and others should have nearly wiped out their opponents and political enemies, or they should have been almost wiped out by their opponents and political enemies. No matter what the result is, it is no different for Song Jun. Right now It's time to pick the fruit.

Pan Mei immediately marched into the city with her army, and her cavalry rode through the early morning market, heading straight for the Nanhan Palace.

In the square in front of the palace, hundreds of corpses were lying in a pool of blood. Judging from their clothes and dresses, one could tell that most of them were guards guarding the palace. They should have been killed after a hasty attack. There are some women in court ladies' clothes, and some even died with disheveled clothes, obviously they had suffered a lot of humiliation before they died, and there were still some jewels and gold and silver scattered in some places, which were naturally taken by Chen Yu and others. A masterpiece of chaos.

In times of great change in troubled times, these are all commonplace things, and it is unrealistic to expect that the soldiers and horses led by greedy people like Chen Yu will have strict discipline and commit no crimes.

Pan Mei has fought countless battles in her life, she has long turned a blind eye to such a scene, and plans to pursue it.

His eyes passed over these corpses, and he scanned the square in front of the hall sternly, and finally fell back on Chen Yu standing in front of him. Behind him was surrounded by a group of generals and soldiers. It was put together impromptu by various chaotic parties.

Chen Yu's face was smeared with filth and smoky black, and his temples were sticking to his skinny cheeks, making him look a little more wretched than before. It is not difficult to see that he was able to capture the palace after a hard battle.

Pan Mei was sure that this person surnamed Chen was not at a disadvantage at all, and even swallowed a lot. The Liu family's accumulation and accumulation in Lingnan for more than [-] years in the Southern Han Dynasty probably fell into this person's private treasury. , so that Chen Yu's eyes turned red with excitement, and the generals of the Southern Han Rebellion Army who surrounded him were no different.

"Congratulations to General Pan!" Chen Yu knelt down together with many Southern Han rebel generals and schools behind him, and carried out a grand ceremony of worship. The master made a gesture of humility to show his loyalty.

Pan Mei slightly raised her hand to let them stand up, and said a few perfunctory words of comfort, such as "I will do my best to be loyal to the Song Dynasty in the future, and keep the wealth forever", and then stared at Chen Yu and asked coldly, "Where is Liu Ying?"

Of course, the Southern Han Emperor Liu Xuan was the most important target, and it would be perfect if he could be captured alive. Since this person is not included in the bowing down, Pan Mei guessed that something went wrong.

Sure enough, Chen Yu lowered his head and said in frustration: "After the villain led the troops into the palace, he couldn't find anyone. He tortured many maids and eunuchs, and no one could tell why."

Pan Mei's face suddenly turned livid. It seemed that Liu Yan had either died in the rebellion, and his body was not found in a corner, or he was hiding in the city, or even escaped outside the city. Neither situation is what he wants to see, especially the latter one.

If Liu Xuan can hide and escape successfully, it means that he will definitely not be alone. There must be a diehard force secretly supporting him inside and outside Panyu City, and there may be many troubles in the future. Just thinking about it made his head hurt, but he knew that the most urgent thing in front of him was to stabilize people's hearts, and it was not appropriate to make any big moves yet.

Pan Mei thought for a while and said, "Announce to the whole city, I, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, came to fix the chaos and appease the people, to protect the people from top to bottom, so that the soldiers, people and common people don't need to be disturbed."

Immediately afterwards, he issued many orders, and after each order, a general followed the order.

Chen Yu waited for a long while, but did not hear any orders from Chen Yu, so he tentatively asked: "The whereabouts of Liu Xuan is unknown, so the general will ignore it?"

"This matter is not urgent, you might as well put it aside for now." Pan Mei replied rather vaguely.

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, and tentatively reminded Pan Mei: "General Mingjian, if the puppet tyrant does not get rid of, it will be difficult for the people of the upper and lower people to join in. In the opinion of the villain, it is better to search and suppress the remnants of the party in the city..."

Pan Meibai glanced at Chen Yu. He understood what Chen Yu was planning. He just wanted to take advantage of the power of the Song soldiers breaking the city, take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents in the city, and make another windfall by raiding their homes.

In fact, this matter is not necessarily impossible, and it is nothing to let a leading party like Chen Yu benefit more, but it is definitely not the time to mess around.
