Chapter 41 Solve Pengcheng's urgency, Ji Ling retreats!
"What's the solution?"
Liu Bei asked curiously.
"Come on, go and bring Yuan Yao to me."
Liu Xie shouted to the left and right.
"By the way, and that kid, I almost forgot."
Chen Zhi was overjoyed, it turned out that His Majesty's method was this, I have to say, it was really clever.
Yuan Yao, as Yuan Shu's only son, Ji Ling and Yang Hong did not dare to let him have an accident no matter what.
Using him as a hostage to threaten Ji Ling and Yang Hong, how could they have a reason not to retreat?
Not long after, Yuan Yao was brought up.
"Hmph, what do you want to do?"
Yuan Yao didn't realize that he had become a prisoner, and in front of Liu Xie, his attitude was still very rebellious.
"Be bold, dare to be rude to the Son of Heaven!"
Liu Bei kicked over and directly kicked Yuan Yao in the ass and squatted.
He has a grudge against Yuan Shu, and he has been pressed and beaten by Yuan Shu before, but now he can finally spread anger on his son.
"Come on, help Yuan Gongzi up."
Liu Xie said with a smile.
"What do you want to do?"
Yuan Yao was helped up, and the soldier kindly patted the dirt on his body.
Seeing this, Yuan Yao became vigilant, but in an instant, he realized what was going on.
laughed and said: "Haha, you must have been defeated by General Ji Ling, and you want to negotiate peace with my army?" ”
"This son tells you that this is impossible, unless you give up the throne to my father and hand over Lu Lingqi to my son!"
Hearing this, Liu Bei, Chen Zhi and the others all frowned, what was Yuan Yao thinking?
And at this time, is he still thinking about Lu Lingqi?
Lu Lingqi snorted coldly, too lazy to look at this guy.
"Ji Ling does have some ability, and he has an army of 100,000 under his command."
Liu Xie said lightly.
"Since you know, why don't you do what Ben Gongzi said?"
Yuan Yao's attitude became more and more unruly.
"I'm sorry, because of Yuan Gongzi's intervention, Ji Ling fell from the upper hand to the lower wind."
"Now that Ji Ling and Yang Hong are attacking Pengcheng and Langya County, I need Gongzi to relieve the siege for me."
Liu Xie's smile became gloomy.
"Don't you think about it!"
Yuan Yao was taken aback, and his body subconsciously took a few steps back, he was going to become a hostage in Liu Xie's hands?
He refused to accept such an arrangement.
"That's not up to you."
Liu Xie smiled coldly and shouted, "Come on, help Yuan Gongzi get on the horse!" ”
"No!"
Yuan Yao yelled hoarsely, he wanted to resist, but he was only a fourteen-year-old child, and an ordinary soldier could knock him to the ground.
Not long after, Liu Xie tied Yuan Yao, took Liu Bei and Lu Lingqi to startle more than a dozen cavalry, and set off towards the nearest Pengcheng.
Outside Pengcheng.
Ji Ling led an army of 20,000 and joined the 10,000 soldiers and horses who originally attacked Pengcheng, and was besieging Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao fought hard, and the two sides were almost equal.
However, when Zhang Liao came to save Pengcheng, Pengcheng had already fallen, and when he attacked the city, Zhang Liao spent a lot of strength.
"Zhang Liao is worthy of being a fierce general, with a tired army of 10,000, he can withstand the onslaught of our 30,000 army."
"However, now that Pengcheng is in our hands, it is only a matter of time before Zhang Liao falls behind."
"Pass my generals, strengthen the offensive, and give Zhang Liao a little more color to see!"
Ji Ling ordered.
"Fuyi, it's good that you're here, otherwise I really wouldn't have anything to do with this guy."
Yuan Shujun's general, Qiao Rui, said aggrievedly that he had just been beaten by Zhang Liao's troops.
And he fought with Zhang Liao, and was stabbed in the arm by Zhang Liao, and it still hurts.
"It's fine."
Ji Ling waved his hand and said with a smile: "I want to see this Liao, how to solve the siege of Pengcheng." ”
"General!"
At this time, a soldier came to report, "...... in the rear"
"What's going on in the rear?"
Before the soldier finished speaking, Ji Ling hurriedly asked, did he want another fire in the rear.
"Rear...... More than a dozen horsemen arrived. ”
The soldier said.
"A dozen rides?"
Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, and asked Qiao Rui to command the army, while he took a thousand soldiers to check.
Soon, Ji Ling saw Liu Bei, but there was a teenager beside Liu Bei, and Ji Ling had never seen it.
But it seems that it should be Liu Xie, the son of heaven.
"Liu Bei, are you thinking that your life is long?"
Ji Ling sneered, I want to rely on these dozen or so horses to save Peng Cheng, I am dreaming in broad daylight.
"Whether our lives are long or not, I don't know, but your son-in-law will become a short-lived ghost at any time."
Liu Xie smiled coldly, and when the words fell, his subordinates took out Yuan Yao, who was tied to the horse.
"Childe!"
Seeing this, Ji Ling was shocked and shouted, "What do you want to do?" ”
"My request is very simple, you immediately withdraw from the territory of Xuzhou."
Liu Xie shouted.
"What if I don't go back?"
After all, Ji Ling is a battle-hardened general, and he still maintains his composure at this time.
"Not going back?"
Liu Xie shouted to his subordinates: "Chop off Yuan Yao's hand for me." ”
"Yes!"
The soldier answered, and prepared to pick up a knife to cut Yuan Yao.
"Don't."
Yuan Yao's face turned pale with fright, and he shouted to Ji Ling: "General Ji Ling, you must save me!" ”
If Yuan Yao is given another choice, he will definitely not come to the battlefield.
On the battlefield, he did not have the high spirits he imagined, but became a prisoner, and his life was in danger at any time.
"Stop!"
Ji Ling hurriedly shouted: "If I retire, you have to promise to release my son-in-law." ”
"That's not going to work."
Liu Xie shook his head and said, "At most, I can only promise not to kill this guy." ”
"That's not going to work."
Ji Ling's attitude was very resolute.
"It's okay, you don't have to retreat, but I still won't kill Yuan Yao."
"However, turning him into a eunuch and letting Yuan Shu die, he can still do it."
Liu Xie smiled coldly, and then said: "Ji Ling, we came on more than a dozen horses, and we never thought of fighting with you, and if we want to escape, you will definitely not be able to catch us." ”
"In addition, General Zhang Liao's ability, you must also know very well, don't look at him being besieged by you, but he is a hard bone, even if you gnaw him off, you have to lose a row of your own teeth."
"Besides, you may not be able to bite it!"
After Liu Xie finished speaking, Ji Ling became silent, he didn't have any cavalry in his hands, so he couldn't pursue Liu Xie at all.
Moreover, if you want to swallow Zhang Liao's troops, you will indeed suffer heavy losses.
He could only guarantee that Zhang Liao would be defeated, and then force him to withdraw from the Pengcheng battlefield.
But to take down Zhang Liao, it's completely hellish difficulty.
"Okay, let's retreat, but you must not hurt my son-in-law."
"Otherwise, my lord will bring up an army of 300,000 to avenge my son!"
Ji Ling said with red eyes, Yuan Yao, as Yuan Shu's only son, loved him to the point of no return.
If something really happened to Yuan Yao, Yuan Shu would definitely make a very crazy move.
"Huh."
Liu Xie sneered and said, "General Ji Ling, please tell me, is it necessary for me to kill this waste?" ”
Hearing this, Ji Ling frowned, the emotional son wanted to use his son as a political bargaining chip.
In this way, isn't the lord subject to the Son of Heaven everywhere?
However, this also shows from the side that Childe's life will not be in danger.
"Alright, withdraw!"
Ji Ling shouted, and Qiao Rui's army of 30,000 began to retreat.
And Zhang Liao also broke away from the struggle.
"Your Majesty, now that Pengcheng has been resolved, the next thing is Langya."
Liu Bei said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to be the vanguard, and the shame of Pengcheng will be snowed."
Zhang Liao stepped forward and said.
Zhang Liao was unlucky this time, and when he led his troops to Pengcheng, Pengcheng had already fallen.
Halfway through the siege, when he saw that he was about to take it, Ji Ling brought troops to the rescue.
Otherwise, he would not have been in a bitter battle.
"Your Majesty!"
At this time, several cavalry arrived in the distance.
They belonged to the Bingzhou cavalry, and they were the troops assigned by Zhang Liao to Xu Huang.
"General Xu Huang and Langya County, how are they now?"
Liu Xie hurriedly asked.
