It was Luda and Yang Zhi who entered from the east gate with the township soldiers, and after seeing the scene in front of them, the two couldn't help but be a little stunned, why haven't these guys escaped from Jiangzhou City yet?

As early as this morning, Sun Tu asked Yang Zhi to bring a message to Chao Gai and them, telling them to leave the west of the city after rescuing Song Jiang, and let them set fire to the north gate one step earlier, so that the villagers stationed outside the city would have enough excuses to delay for a while, and enter the city from the east gate.

But who would have thought that when Lin Henian made arrangements on Cai Jiu's orders, he chose to camp the main force in the west of the city, which disrupted Chao Gai's rhythm, so when Sun Tu took Cai Jiu all the way to the east, he also happened to lead Chao Gai and them over, thus forming the current slightly weird situation, Chao Gai and others failed to break through and fell into the encirclement of the officials and troops.

After being stunned for a moment, Yang Zhi had decisively ordered: "Kill the past and take down all these thieves, but if there is resistance, kill them!" "Now that we've come to this point, we can't afford to show any mercy.

And Lin Henian, who arrived behind him, also issued a similar order at the same time, and more than 600 officers and soldiers on both sides had pressed towards the more than 20 Liangshan heroes in the middle like two high walls, and dozens of crossbowmen in front of them had already drawn their bows and aimed over, as long as they had any act of resistance, they would greet them with random arrows.

Sun Tu's face was also pale at this time, he didn't expect that his calculation would fall into vain, and what made him even more worried was Cai Jiu's safety, so he immediately shouted: "Don't act rashly, don't hurt Cai Taishou!" Half of this was a reminder to the officers and soldiers, and half of it was to Chao Gai and them.

Chao Gai and the others, who were already planning to fight to the death, suddenly moved in their hearts, especially Hua Rong, who was still holding Cai Jiu in his hand, pushed him to himself and the others, and then put a knife against Cai Jiuhou, who was already trembling with fright and couldn't even speak, and shouted loudly: "If you want your Taishou to bury us, just let the arrows kill, I won't be a hero if I frown!" ”

It was only at this time that Lin Henian finally saw clearly that the hostage who was held hostage by them and dressed in ordinary soldier clothes turned out to be Taishou Cai Dezhang, which really frightened him, and quickly ordered everyone not to step forward again, and put down the bow and arrow, lest someone really hurt Taishou with a shake of his hand, and he couldn't afford to bear the blame.

On the other side, Luda and Yang Zhi, who were about to lead people to charge, also stopped in time, but the formation was still open, completely blocking the way of Chao Gai and the others, and at the same time, the two also turned their eyes to Sun Tu to see what he meant.

Sun Tu glanced at Lin Henian and found that the other party was completely unwilling to take responsibility, so he had an idea in his heart, and immediately stepped forward: "Don't hurt Taishou when you wait, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried!" ”

"Hehe, we are just reckless in the rivers and lakes, our lives are worth a few dollars, today we can pull up the dignified Jiangzhou Taishou, and the son of today's Taishi Cai Jing will go to Huangquan together." Chao Gai had quickly understood at this time, and stared at Sun Tu without giving in: "Sun Tu, you have some ability, you can fight to a draw with many of our brothers, if it weren't for the fact that there are many of us, we may not be able to snatch people out from behind you!" Now that your Tai is in our hands, it is up to us to call the shots, and you quickly let them get out of the way, and at the same time we must not send anyone after us, so that we can ensure his safety. Otherwise, it's a big deal to shoot and scatter! ”

As soon as his words fell, Liu Tang had already drawn his knife and struck it across Cai Jiu's neck, as if as long as Sun Tu didn't allow it, he would kill Cai Jiu. This naturally made Cai Jiu even more frightened, and whispered in a trembling voice: "Sun ...... Group practice, don't you anger these thieves, this official, this official can't be fine. Fearing that the knife in his neck would hurt him, he spoke cautiously.

"This ......" Sun Tu's face suddenly showed a tangled look, and after glancing at Cai Jiu, he fell on Lin Henian's face again: "Lin Dujian, look ......"

How dare Lin Henian take on such a big event, and hurriedly said: "I'm waiting for everything to be under the orders of Taishou......"

"Then why don't you get out of the way and let ...... Let them leave the city? Cai Jiu only felt a chill in his vest and throat, and the fear in his heart had reached its peak, and he immediately shouted a little eagerly: "This is the official's order, and it must not be delayed." ”

"But......" Sun Tu showed his entanglement again: "The two thieves of Song Jiang were rescued by them in front of everyone, and the imperial court will definitely be investigated, and if they leave like this, who can guarantee that they will definitely keep their promise to let Taishou come back safely?" ”

"I, Chao Gai, have always been good at talking, and since I promised you, I will never go back. As long as you don't obstruct him and don't chase him out, I will let him go when I am safe to do so. Chao Gai immediately said.

However, Sun Tu still didn't believe it: "No, I don't dare to take this risk." If you still hurt Taishou after you leave, then we will be even more guilty. It's better to take a step back like this, I am willing to take you as a hostage, and you will let Taishou go first. As soon as these words came out, he immediately won Cai Jiu's emotion, and he felt that Sun Tu was really loyal to him, and he was willing to take such a big risk for himself.

"Haha, are you fools for us?" It's just that Chao Gai's reaction disappointed him: "Your Sun Tuan is practicing martial arts, and my brothers are not easy to control, and your status is far inferior to this Cai Taishou, why should we change with you?" ”

Sun Tu had nothing to say now, so he could only snort hatefully. At this time, Chao Gai remembered something again: "Also, I heard that our friend Yuan Wang and Yuan Tuiguan have been taken down by you, so you go and bring him here, and let us take him away with us......"

"No, it's our bottom line to let you rob Song Jiang and the others, and the criminal officer Yuan Wang must never hand it over to you again!" Sun Tu refused at that time.

And this conversation fell into the ears of Cai Jiu and others, and the charge of Yuan Wang's collusion with Liangshan thieves was completely confirmed. This also made many people finally understand why they were able to succeed so easily, it turned out that they had already had an internal response in the city and controlled everything in the government. Cai Jiu was even more angry, if he wasn't still being held hostage at this time, he would have scolded him, and Thunder was furious.

Chao Gai didn't insist too much on this matter, and only muttered for a moment before saying, "Okay, then you quickly tell them to get out of the way, if you dare to delay any longer, we will send him down first and wait!" As he spoke, Liu Tang suddenly raised his knife quite cooperatively, and was about to slash at Cai Jiu's neck, so frightened that he immediately let out a scream: "Don't, Sun Tu, let them give way, all responsibilities are free for the official!" ”

"Yes! Yang Zhiluda, let the brothers avoid the side and get out of the way! Sun Tu ordered with a face full of unwillingness.

Luda and Yang Zhi did not dare to disobey the order, and immediately gave an order, and they had already flashed to the side with the township soldiers, giving way to the road leading to Dongcheng behind them. Chao Gai and the others immediately half-dragged Cai Jiu cautiously towards the east gate, looking at their posture, as long as there was any change in the official army at this time, they would take Cai Jiu first.

However, without Sun Tu's order, the village soldiers would not move. As for those van troops in the rear, they will not step forward, after all, their main generals have long regarded themselves as clay sculptures and wood carvings.

It wasn't until he saw them retreat into the city gate cave and were about to leave that Sun Tu took a few steps with the state officials and shouted at Chao Gai and the others, who were quickly retreating towards the Xunyang River: "Since you have left the city, you still don't let the Taishou go?" ”

"Now is not the time, don't worry, when we feel safe, we will naturally release him back." After Chao Gai said a word to him from afar, he continued to lead people to rush back. At this time, several small boats had broken through the water from the upstream, and before the boat landed, these people had already carried the two wounded and Cai Jiu to meet them in the water, and then the small boats responded and quickly went up the river again.

At this time, Sun Tu and the others had already rushed out, and when they saw this scene, although they could still get their bows and arrows, they didn't dare to shoot, and in the end they could only watch the boat go away, and they couldn't even see a shadow.

Lin Henian then also drove out of the city, and when he saw this, he sighed violently: "Now that the thieves have fled and taken the Taishou away, how can this be good?" Grandchild...... Sun Tuanlian, if they go back on their word, they will give Taishou to ...... We can't afford it......"

"I don't think they should be so unsparing, otherwise what awaits them will be the encirclement of the imperial army. Even if Liangshan has a favorable location, it can't withstand the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, after all, it is the son of Taishi Cai. Sun Tu was actually convinced in his heart that they would not really kill Cai Jiu even if they looked at him, but he said something hesitantly.

After a pause, he said again: "Now the top priority is to catch up along the river quickly, and we must pick up Taishou as soon as possible." ”

Lin Henian reacted at this time: "Not bad." In this way, everything in the city is watched by the official, you lead the people and horses to chase along the river, but you must bring back Taishou Ping'an. ”

Sun Tu knew that he was a little afraid of the Liangshan thieves and helpers, and he was worried that Cai Jiu would really have something to do, so he chose a task that was more difficult to deal with to pacify the people in the city. However, this was exactly what Sun Tu wanted, so he didn't excuse himself, only took a few dozen people, and hurried north along the Xunyang River.

This way to chase for more than an hour, and finally before dark, let them see a figure on a deserted shore who was tied hand and foot, with strips of cloth tied to his eyes and mouth, and could only struggle and squirm on the ground.
