Chapter 559 Hostage
"Is this the message that Song Zhan asked you to send over?"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Shisi pinched the letter paper in his hand and looked at the messenger standing in the center of the big tent.

"Yes." The messenger was just a young soldier who was temporarily arrested to deliver the letter, and he didn't dare to look up at Fourteen.

"Hmph." Fourteen sneered.

Seeing that the soldier and Fourteen's reactions were not quite right, Xiao Ruming asked, "Princess, what was written in the letter?"

Fourteen handed the letter to Yin Zhu, motioning her to pass it on to others.

Xiao Ruming took the letter, and the others came over to read it together.

"This bastard!"

"Scum."

"shameless!"

"Fuck you!" Xie Sheng kicked Xiaobing on the shoulder, knocking him to the ground.

"Come on, let me drag him out and chop him up!"

"General, spare your life!" The little soldier turned pale with fright, and immediately kowtowed for mercy.

"When the two armies are fighting, don't behead them." Fourteen said, "General Xie, please be safe and don't be impatient."

Xie Sheng naturally knew this rule, he couldn't help it because he was in a hurry.Damn it, he didn't expect Song Zhan to be so insane, to come up with such a conscienceless idea.Fortunately, he has been the governor of Duji Province for several years. These are the people under his rule!
"You go out first, and I'll get someone to write you a reply later."

"Thank you, Princess!" Xiaobing got up and ran out immediately after kowtowing as if he had been pardoned.

"Princess, what should I do?" Xie Sheng asked.Seeing that the victory was imminent, he did not expect the other party to come up with such a vicious method.

If Song Zhan coerced him to retreat, firstly, his success would fall short, and secondly, he would let the tiger go back to the mountain, and there would be endless troubles.

But if they don't retreat, what should they do if they really kill a hundred ordinary people in an hour like the letter said?
They fought all the way from Zhenzhou, and less than a hundred people died.Damn it, Song Zhan deserved to be put to death in a thousand cuts!
"Back." Fourteen said, "We can't take this risk."

Now Song Zhan is like a mad dog driven into a hurry, Shisi has no doubt that he will do what is written in the letter.

There was no objection in the account.

"But we can't retreat as they say." Fourteen said again.

"What do you generals think, if Song Zhan flees, where will he go?" she asked.

Everyone looked at each other.

Xiao Ruming first said: "Since he uses this strategy to force us to retreat, he naturally wants to get rid of the current predicament, find another way out, and make a comeback."

"So if he wants to escape, he must choose a place where it is easy to make a comeback." Tong Yang continued, "As long as he has soldiers in his hand, he can make a comeback."

"But where are his soldiers and horses stationed?" Xie Sheng said, "There are only [-] soldiers and horses in Duji Dao on the surface, but Song Zhan's wolf ambitions, in fact, only he knows how many soldiers and horses are stationed. Where are the soldiers and horses stationed? He knows it himself."

"In Luozhou." Fourteen said, "He still has at least [-] soldiers and horses in Luozhou, so once he escapes from Ruzhou, his next destination must be Luozhou."

Fourteen got up and led the crowd to the side of the sand table.

"Lan Ze, Xiao Ruming."

"The end is here."

"The two of you led the troops to retreat immediately, retreating fifty li to the south, then bypassed this mountain, and laid an ambush here in the valley." Fourteen's hand moved above the sand table, and finally stopped at a place between Ruzhou and Zhenzhou. in the canyon.

"The last general takes orders!" The two responded in unison.

"Princess, what about us?" Xie Sheng asked, "What are we doing?"

"You are responsible for watching Song Zhan go out of the city, and then chase after him." Fourteen said, "As I expected, there is a high probability that they will take the people in the city as hostages when they leave the city. They chased hard from behind, so they didn't have time to think about whether there was an ambush ahead, so they walked into this valley smoothly."

"Yes!"

Coming out of the big tent of the Chinese army, Xie Sheng said: "Why are you two sent to ambush, and the three of us can only follow behind? Brother Lan, brother Xiao, how about one of you trade with me?"

Xiao Ruming laughed lightly when he heard the words: "I have no problem, I can fight as the princess tells me to."

"That's right, if you want to go to the front to ambush, why didn't you mention it to the princess in the tent just now?" Zhong Yanqing asked.

"Nonsense." Xie Sheng shrank his neck, "Do I dare?"

"Okay, the joke can be played later at the celebration banquet." Xiao Ruming said, "Then let's divide into two groups and prepare separately?"

The five people hand over each other and leave separately.

Xie Sheng, Tong Yang and Zhong Yanqing are in the same direction.After walking a few steps, Zhong Yanqing couldn't help asking curiously: "General Tong, how does the princess know that Song Zhan has troops in Ruzhou?"

"I'm also curious about this." Xie Sheng also looked at Tong Yang.

"Since this summer, the prince has been inspecting the counties and counties of Duji Province." Tong Yang clicked.

Zhong Yanqing and Xie Sheng immediately understood.

Yes, the prince has been investigating in Duji for several months.It is said that it is to inspect the people's conditions in various states and counties, but it does not say that it is only to check the people's conditions.

If this is the case, it seems that the prince and concubine have been working together to plot against Song Zhan since earlier.

But damn Song Zhan should too!For a beast devoid of conscience, it doesn't hurt to die a hundred times.

……

Xiao Yan made a simple disguise, and joined the ranks of the Ruzhou garrison together with Qi Lecheng, Gu Lin, and Xiao 23.In less than half a day, they had captured 15 people from the city, most of them were men between the ages of 30 and [-].

"They arrested so many people, are they going to fight?" Gu Lin looked at the men who were tied up in rows.

"It doesn't look like it." Xiao Yan observed the soldiers standing by and guarded. "If they are going to fight, we should give them weapons and take them to the city wall instead of being tied up here."

"Then why did they arrest these people?"

"If it's not a war, then it's a hostage." Qi Lecheng said.

"Hostage?" Gu Lin reacted, "They want to use these people to threaten aunt?"

"If I'm not wrong, they will use the lives of these people to force my mother to retreat and let them go." Xiao Yan said, "These people should be taken with them when they go out of the city to get rid of the pursuers."

"Despicable and shameless!" Gu Lin scolded, "If there is a chance, I will wring his head off with my own hands."

"Okay, let's play by ear." Xiao Yan said, "Ensuring the safety of these people is the most important thing. They use this as a threat. Mother will definitely agree to withdraw, but Song Zhan will not be easily let go."

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Song Zhan still has troops stationed in Luozhou. If he flees, there will be his first choice. Luozhou is in the west of Ruzhou, and there are many mountains. Mother will definitely send troops to ambush on the way. We Just follow the team and play by ear."

"You three, what are you doing standing here?" Suddenly there was a roar from behind, and the three of them immediately changed their expressions and postures, showing a cautious look.

"How do I see that the three of you are a bit embarrassed, which battalion is the soldier?"

"Fire...fire...fire head...fire..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking if you stutter." Gu Lin didn't finish his sentence, and the person who asked the question felt that he was about to be suffocated, "Are you a soldier from Huotouying?"

"Back to..."

"Shut up! Tell me."

"Back to the general, we...we are from Huotouying. We just came here... not long after we arrived, and got lost." Xiao Yan didn't stutter, but he was obviously nervous.

"I'm just the leader of the team, not some general." Even though he said this, the man obviously thought the general was very happy, and waved to the three of them, "Huotouying is to the east, go back quickly. You're so stupid. You can still get lost in the camp."

"Many... many... thank you..."

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go!" The person who asked the question couldn't bear the rhythm of Gu Lin's speech, so he pushed the three of them away with his hands.
