Chapter 1044: Hostage

Centurion Jin Yutang asked, "Are these three carriages all together?" ”

"Yes!"

"Who are the people sitting inside?"

The tooth lord clasped his fists and replied, "They won't say!" ”

"Useless stuff!" Jin Yutang glared fiercely, walked around the three carriages, and asked, "Who among you is the one in charge?" ”

A fat man in silk nodded and walked over with a smile and said: "This general, who is in charge of the matter, is in Xia Huang Fugui, doing some small business in Jiangxia City, and asking this general to make it convenient for him to cross the river with his family!" After speaking, he secretly handed over a money bag.

Jin Yutang took the money bag and flipped it, the two gold cakes inside collided properly, he looked up at the three carriages and asked, "Who is in the carriage?" ”

"If you go back to the general, they are all the daughters of the villain's family, and it is inconvenient to see outsiders, please forgive the general!"

Jin Yutang suddenly turned his face and said angrily: "You can have such a big pomp and circumstance as a businessman who does a little business? Don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't understand the relevant laws and regulations of the Southern Dynasty, can this kind of carriage with specifications and decoration be ridden by the family of a small merchant? Are you a turtle who doesn't understand anything? Come on, drag this fat pig down and cut it down! ”

Two soldiers rushed up and dragged the fat man to the river, and the fat man shouted in fright: "The general spares his life, spare his life······

At this time, a woman's voice came from inside a carriage: "Leave people under the saber!" ”

When Jin Yutang heard this, he raised his hand: "Wait! ”

The two soldiers dragging the fat man stopped.

The curtain of a carriage in the middle was lifted, and a little maid jumped to stay first, took off a high stool and placed it on the side of the carriage, and then saw a graceful and elegant old woman step out of the carriage at the little maid.

Although the old woman is old, her appearance is very kind, and there is not the slightest fear and panic in her face and eyes, she is supported by the little maid and takes a few steps forward with a cane and bows slightly: "The old man Pang Liu has seen the general, these are the servants of the old family, the fat man is the housekeeper, and please don't embarrass them, everything is borne by the old man!" ”

Jin Yutang hugged his fists and asked, "Dare to ask the old lady?" ”

The old woman replied: "It's not a secret, Jiang Xia is too old and the eldest son of Pang Faqi, and these carriages are full of old daughters-in-law and grandchildren!" ”

Jin Yutang and Qian Sihai couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this, the two glanced at each other, and Jin Yutang asked: "The old woman is so bold, she actually told her true identity without shying away from it, isn't the old woman worried that we will not be good for you?" ”

Pang Liu said: "When the two generals led the troops to come, the old man could see clearly in the carriage, the two generals and the soldiers under their command did not commit any offense against the people, it can be seen that the military discipline is strict, and the order is forbidden, if it is not a real king, how can it be so?" ”

Qian Sihai hugged his fists and said: "The old woman is very knowledgeable, now that I know the identity of the old woman, I am afraid that I will invite the old woman and these entourages to follow me to meet my general, and please don't make me wait for embarrassment!" ”

Pang Liu said: "The matter has come to this point, and the old body is afraid that it will not work!" ”

"Then please let the old lady get in the car!"

Pang Liu and the rest of the guards and the maids of the family were a little relieved when they saw that these cadres and soldiers were still polite and did not offend them.

Jin Yutang and Qian Sihai discussed, and Qian Sihai led people to guard the ferry port, while Jin Yutang took some people to lead Pang Liu's party to meet Zhao Junsheng and Niu Dali.

Jin Yutang took the men and horses back to the north gate and found that the army had disappeared, and met a sentry, and after inquiry, he learned that the army had retreated ten miles back to camp, so he led Pang Liu's party to the north ten miles to the camp.

Zhao Junsheng was writing a letter in the tent, and Niu Dali walked in to report: "Your Majesty, good news, the first two hundred cavalry teams sent out caught Pang Faqi's old mother Pang Liu and his family heirs at the riverside ferry!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Junsheng stopped when he heard this, he put down his pen and said: "This is good news, it seems that Pang Faqi has the determination and plan to break the cauldron and defend Jiangxia City, otherwise it would be impossible for him to send his family away!" ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, his old mother and family are his weakness, and now his old mother and family heirs are in our hands, see if he can surrender!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and ordered: "In this way, in the afternoon, you send someone to bring a member of the Pang family to the city to see Pang Faqi, and tell him that his family is in our hands, let him recognize the situation and make a choice as soon as possible to lead the troops to surrender, otherwise don't blame us for being unkind to his family, if he blindly resists to the end, let's let him be an unfilial son!" ”

"Yes, I'll do it later!"

Zhao Junsheng said again: "You go to meet Pang Liu's first, appease her, be polite to Pang Liu's family, after all, he is an old man, don't let her be frightened and get sick!" ”

"Understood!"

In the afternoon, Niu Dali personally led a team of cavalry to the north gate of Jiangxia City, followed by a fat man, who was the housekeeper of Pang Mansion.

"Listen to the people on the city tower, I will go and ask your Taishou Pang Faqi to show up and speak!" The ox roared vigorously on horseback a stone's throw from the city walls.

It didn't take long for Pang Faqi's figure to appear on the city tower, "Hahaha, how dare General Pang come over now?" ”

"Pang Taishou, General Ben will let you see someone first, and then talk to you!" After Niu Dali finished speaking, he said to the fat man next to him: "Fat man, haven't you seen your master yet?" ”

The housekeeper immediately shouted: "Master, master, it's me!" ”

Pang Faqi on the city tower looked at it and said in shock: "Butler, you ····· How are you with the Qianjun? ”

The housekeeper said with a sad face: "In the morning, I waited for the old lady and the lady to take the carriage to the river to take a boat, but there was no big boat coming from the other side for a long time, and after the cadres were brought, I was all detained, and now the old lady, the lady and several young ladies are in the camp of the dry army!" ”

Before Pang Faqi could finish listening, his mind was dazed, and his body fell backwards.

"Too guarded, too guarded······" Fortunately, someone next to him quickly helped Pang Faqi in time, otherwise he would have lost half his life if he fell like this.

Pang Faqi quickly came to his senses, he held on to the wall and fixed his mind and shouted to Niu Dali under the city: "Niu Dali, you are despicable and shameless, the two countries are at war, and the disaster will not affect the family, what kind of ability do you have to hold the old mother and family heirs of the official?" ”

"Hahaha······ Pang Taishou said this too shamelessly, if you have the opportunity to meet our family members, I'm afraid you won't let them go, right? But Pang Taishou rest assured, Ben will just invite the old lady and her party to my camp as guests, before Pang Taishou does not make the right choice, this general will never hurt them, but if Taishou is determined to go his own way and die without repentance, then I can't complain that I Niu Dali is ruthless, and you are not filial! ”

"You ······"

Niu Dali continued: "Okay, Pang Taishou doesn't need to worry, think about it slowly, General Ben is waiting for your good news!" With that, he turned around and left, and the others followed the butler, and soon disappeared on the horizon.

Pang Faqi didn't know how he returned to the Taishou Mansion, and as soon as he entered the Taishou Mansion, he went headlong into the study and didn't see anyone.

It wasn't until sunset that his son Pang Dangdang, who was guarding the east gate, returned home and heard about his family being captured by the cadres, and he came to the door of the study in a hurry: "Daddy, daddy······ It's me! ”

After a long time, Pang Faqi opened the person in the study, he described it as haggard, looked at his son, and shook his head: "Come in!" ”

Father and son entered the study and closed the door again.

Soon, the military Sima Liu Gon came to the Taishou Mansion to ask for a meeting, he wanted to come to Pang Faqi to ask whether the Jiangxia City should hold on, or break through and cross the river as soon as possible, about this matter, Pang Faqi has not revealed it in the past few days, he must ask clearly, but he doesn't want to die in vain.

"Lord Taishou was in the study all afternoon, and no one was seen, until the eldest prince returned from the east gate to enter the study, the villain took Sima over!" The little colonel who was guarding the door said.

Liu Gon hurriedly said: "There is no need to lead the way, anyway, there are no female dependents in the inner courtyard, don't bother you to go, I can just go over by myself!" ”

The little colonel couldn't beg, "Okay, you can go by yourself!" ”

Liu Gon came to the backyard through several circular arches, and soon came to the outside of the study, and was about to knock on the door when he heard Pang Dangdang's voice from the study: "Daddy, tell me the truth, how long will this Jiangxia City be guarded?" We only have 3,000 people, if Marshal Xiao on the other side doesn't send reinforcements, we won't be able to support it for long! ”

Ponfa was silent.

Pang Dangdang was anxious: "Daddy, when is this coming, don't you even believe your son?" Now my grandmother, mother, aunt, and several younger siblings have fallen into the hands of the cadres, and if they don't find a way to rescue them, they will be more than lucky! ”

Pang Fa sighed: "Do you think that my father doesn't want to rescue? What can we do to save it? The cadres are brave, and they are all cavalry, we have to defend the city with 3,000 people, if we rush out of the city, I am afraid that not only will we not be able to save your grandmother and them, but we will put all the rescued people into it! ”

"Then what should we do, we can't watch our grandmother, mother, younger siblings and others all die under the dry saber, even if I wait to defend Jiangxia City, how can my father and children be at ease in the future, and how can they live with peace of mind? Now, the child thinks that the only way is to surrender to the cadres! ”

Pang Faqi slapped the table and said angrily: "Bastard, if the old man surrenders to the Qianjun, he will be a sinner of the Pang clan and a sinner of the Great Song Dynasty, and from now on, his children and grandchildren will not be able to raise their heads and be human beings!" ”

"That's better than watching my grandmother and them hacked to death by the cadres, my father is ruthless and can ignore their life and death, the child can't do it, tonight the child will take people out of the city to attack the camp of the cadre army, and he will definitely rescue his grandmother and mother!"

Pang Faqi immediately grabbed his son who was about to leave, and said angrily: "You rebel, stop me!" Things have not yet reached the point of despair, there is no need to take such risks, do you think that attacking the enemy camp at night is a clever move, and the general Niu Dali of the cadre army is completely defenseless? I'm afraid that you will be surrounded before you get close to the enemy camp, you calm down first, you have a plan for your father! ”

Liu Gon outside the door was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, could this Pang launch have any other means? Or what else are you going to do?
