1048. Exchange of hostages
The head of Yuanjing South Road, Honghan, stood in the middle of the city.
He was about fifty years old and was born in Kaifeng Mansion. When he was young, he grew up under the rule of the Jin Dynasty, and then the Yuan destroyed the Jin, and he became an official in the first dynasty.
In this way, he could not think that he was a Song person.
Looking at the two military horses outside the city, the Jiangling Mansion garrison and Lu Wenhuan's old department, which were carrying the banner of Jiangling Mansion and the banner of Lu Zi, there was anger in Hong Hanmo's eyes.
As far as he is concerned, whether it is the dead Lu Wenhuan or the Lu Yuwen who led the army outside the city at this time, they are all traitors.
"Prepare for war!"
Seeing the menacing army below, Hong Hanmo shouted.
The defenders in Xiangyang Mansion hurriedly put the thunderbolt in the nest of the artillery throwing vehicle.
They are all descendants of Honghan, and they are also the people used by Kublai Khan to contain LΓΌ Wenhuan in the past.
Even when the whole country gathered troops to send troops to the Great Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan did not recruit the defenders of Xiangyang Mansion under the control of Honghan.
Under the city, Lu Yuwen stepped forward.
Dozens of grenadiers in the garrison of Gangneung Province stepped forward with grenadiers on their shoulders and set up artillery on the spot.
Lu Yuwen looked up at Honghanmo, and the bright sun made him squint his eyes slightly.
He shouted: "Honghanmo, quickly release my father-in-law and all the soldiers in the army out of the city!" β
As his voice fell, Jeruzhu was escorted forward by his own soldiers. At this time, the head of Yelu's shop was scattered, and his face was full of dust, which could be described as extremely embarrassed.
As a dignified Yuanzhong Shuzuo Cheng, Yeluzhu is afraid that he has never been so embarrassed in his life.
Hong Hanmo's face suddenly became even more ugly.
He had seen Jerodon.
I didn't think that Lu Yuwen not only brought the Song army to suppress the formation, but even brought Yeluzhu.
This puts him in a very passive position. Lu Yuwen has Yelu Zhu in his hand, which is enough for him to cast a mouse taboo, because Yelu Zhu's status in the Yuan Dynasty is too high.
"Bring it up."
Honghanmo waved his hand behind him.
There were soldiers escorting more than ten people to the side of the battlements, and it was Lu Wenhuan's family.
Lu Yuwen's eyes immediately showed a rather nervous look, and shouted: "Grandma, mother! β
There is an old woman with silver hair, who is Lu Wenhuan's mother.
Her eyes fell on Lu Yuwen's head, maybe her old eyes were a little bad, and her eyes were not so bright.
She shouted at Lu Yuwen: "Yuwen, your father sacrificed his life for the country and died a well-deserved death!" You don't have to worry about your old body, immediately send troops to capture this Xiangyang City! β
On the side, Hong Hanmo just sneered.
He has been an official in Xiangyang Mansion for many years, and he has hindered Lu Wenhuan everywhere, not just to understand Lu Wenhuan. is also deeply aware of Lu Yuwen's temperament.
With Lu Wenhuan's family members in hand, he was not worried that Lu Yuwen would dare to bombard Xiangyang City at all.
Sure enough, Lu Yuwen's eyes were red below, but there was no sign of ordering a bombardment.
He just looked at Hong Hanmo again and shouted, "Hong Hanmo, let our family out of the city immediately!" Otherwise, I'll behead Jerodon at once!" β
Hong Hanmo sneered, "Lu Yuwen's eldest nephew, how does this official know that after you change back to your family, will you attack this Xiangyang Mansion immediately?" β
Lu Yuwen said: "You let our family out of the city, and I will immediately lead the army to leave!" β
Hong Hanmo still only sneered, "Eldest nephew, do you think this official will easily believe your words?" β
Lu Yuwen was slightly angry, "Then what else do you want?" Are you going to ignore Jerodon's life and death? β
Shouting, he turned his head to look at Yeluzhu and said, "Let Honghan release our family out of the city!" β
But Jerry didn't respond.
As an important minister around Kublai Khan, he has no shortage of backbone and loyalty.
Perhaps from the moment he was defeated and captured, he was ready to die on the frontier.
And his reaction also made Hong Hanmo at the head of the city breathe a sigh of relief. If Yelu Zhuzhen ordered him to release Lu Wenhuan and the families of the generals in the army out of the city, it would indeed be difficult for him to do it.
Hong Hanmo stared at Lu Yuwen and said, "Lu Yuwen, if you want to exchange Lord Zuo Cheng for your family, this official can agree." However, in order to ensure the safety of this Xiangyang City, this official needs you to enter the city. The official can also guarantee that when your army withdraws from Jingnan Road, the official will immediately let you out of the city! β
Lu Yuwen frowned and was silent, a little moved.
If there was no Lu Wenhuan, there would be no current Lu Yuwen at all. In order to save Lu Wenhuan's family, Lu Yuwen is willing to fight for this life.
What's more, now Honghan is just letting him enter the city as a hostage.
He also knows a little about Hong Hanmo. His people are very deep, but they are not very bold.
Entering the city by himself, Honghan probably didn't dare to do anything to himself. Because Honghan should not have the confidence to start a war with the Great Song army.
Only Guan Qiluo, the commander of the garrison of Jiangling Mansion, heard these words of Honghanmo, but he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and even patted his horse to Lu Yuwen's side, and said in a low voice: "General Lu, don't promise him!" β
He didn't have the idea of taking this Xiangyang Mansion, he was just purely worried about Lu Yuwen's safety.
Although the two have known each other for a short time, they have a good temperament and are now good friends.
Lu Yuwen smiled a little bitterly, "My father-in-law treats Yuwen like a parent and has raised me so far." How can Yuwen be righteous and ignore his father? β
After that, he looked up at Hong Hanmo again, and shouted, "Okay! I promise you! β
Then he turned over and dismounted, threw away the spear in his hand, and resolutely walked towards the gate of Xiangyang Mansion.
"General Lu!"
"General Lu!"
Countless soldiers in the army shouted.
Lu Yuwen was just unmoved.
He looked back and smiled indescribably at the soldiers.
Squeaks.
Under the order of Honghan, the suspension bridge at the head of the city was slowly lowered.
Lu Yuwen only got on the suspension bridge, crossed the road, and entered the city.
As soon as he entered the city, he was bound by the defenders of the city, and then he was escorted to the top of the city, near the end of Honghan.
Old Madam Lu wept and said, "Yuwen, why are you so troubled......
The rest of the Lu family also had a complicated look in their eyes, either sorry or grateful.
In fact, Lu Yuwen can completely ignore their life and death. In the face of the righteousness of the country, no one will gossip about Lu Yuwen.
But Lu Yuwen was still willing to enter the city.
"Grandma."
He only shouted out to Old Madam Lu, and then stopped talking. Turning his head to look at Hong Hanmo.
Hong Hanmo also looked at him and said, "The eldest nephew is really a man!" This official admires! β
Lu Yuwen didn't bother to say anything to him, and said coldly: "Hurry up and let my father-in-law and the families of the generals in the army out of the city." β
"Okay, okay."
Hong Hanmo smiled lightly and waved his hand, "Let people go." β
With Lu Yuwen at the head of the city, he really didn't worry that the Song army and those old troops of Lu Wenhuan would attack the city. Lu Yuwen, as the son of Lu Wenhuan, still has a high status in the army.
The defenders of Xiangyang Mansion untied the ropes on Old Madam Lu and the others.
"Yuwen ......"
Old Madam Lu shouted again.
Lu Yuwen smiled a little and said, "Grandma, hurry up and go down to the city!" As the army went to Gangneung Mansion, Yuwen then came to you. β
Lu Wenhuan's wife mixed with Mrs. Lu, "Mother, let's go down to the city......"
She swept over Honghan with hatred, which was a warning.
Only Honghan didn't care.
The people of the Lu family went down to the city and repeatedly looked back to Lu Yuwen.
Lu Yuwen always had a smile on his face.
To the city, there are also the families of many generals in the army. was at a loss, but when he saw everyone in the Lu family coming down, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The soldiers who had been holding them let them go.
The people walked into the corridor and went out of the city gate.
Outside the city, Guan Qiluo looked up at the city, with a slight anger on his face.
There were generals in the army who stepped forward.
It wasn't until many family members were welcomed into the army that Guan Qiluo shouted coldly: "Let Yeluzhu enter the city!" β
He really can't care about Lu Yuwen's life or death.
Although in terms of status, Lu Yuwen is far from Yeluzhu. However, Lu Yuwen was a general who surrendered to the Song Dynasty after all, and a meritorious minister of the Great Song Dynasty.
The Great Song Dynasty would not abandon such a general.
The soldiers let go of Jerodon.
Jerod staggered toward the city, dressed in rags. Even when he entered the city under such circumstances, he still maintained the majesty of his left prime minister.
After his figure disappeared into the corridor, the drawbridge was slowly lifted again with a creaking sound.
Chengtou Honghan did not speak again.
Guan Qiluo stared at him tightly with his eyes and said, "Honghanmo, if General Lu makes any mistakes, my Great Song Dynasty will wave your army to crush your bones and scatter ashes!" β
After that, he looked back at the army and shouted: "Withdraw the troops!" β
Soon, the army slowly withdrew.
