"Battalion commander, the pursuers haven't stopped!"

It was already ten minutes after noon, four or five hours after Hou Yu's assassination attempt.

Along the way, Hou Yu and they moved forward at great speed, but the tail behind them also only followed, and Hou Yu tried their best to get rid of it.

At this time, Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou were loosened, and the two were fed a few mouthfuls of food and water by Hou Yu, listening to the unfamiliar names of the kidnappers, Wu Sangui carefully judged the origin of the kidnappers in his mind.

"Heroes, can you exchange the lives of General Wu for the lives of old people?"

On the other hand, Hong Chengchou, who had always been calm about the capture incident, suddenly opened his mouth at this time, which surprised Hou Yu and the others on the side.

"General Wu is the pillar of my Ming Kingdom, and I still need him to protect my Ming Dynasty in the future, but the old man treats the sinful body, if necessary, the heroes can take away the head of the old man and exchange General Wu for a chance of life."

"No adults!"

Wu Sangui was a little excited when he heard this, he rescued Hong Chengchou from the prison, and he was originally considered to have violated the law of the Ming Dynasty, but the situation was urgent at that time, Wu Sangui admired Hong Chengchou in his heart, and he also admired his talent, so he took the risk to rescue.

It's just that during the exchanges along the way, Wu Sangui suddenly found that the previous supervisor who was dedicated to the public seemed to have no vitality anymore, at least less of the bearing that he once cherished the world.

At one time, Wu Sangui thought that this was because Hong Chengchou had lost several times and hurt his spirit, but later found out that it was far more than that, and it seemed that he was hit by Chongzhen's behavior of hiding his bow, and he could no longer have the idea of serving the country.

Hong Chengchou suddenly said these words, but he wanted to repay Wu Sangui for saving his life with his own life.

"The boss must not, compared to me, a rough and reckless man, the boss's talent is what the country urgently needs when it is in crisis, sooner or later, His Majesty will miss the ability of the boss and other abilities, and let you wear the handsome seal again."

"And along the way, can't the boss see the real goal of them?"

"What the heroes want is a head under them, why don't you let Master Hong go, so that his old man can have a good result?"

Wu Sangui's efforts to stop it, and Hong Chengchou's intention to repay the favor, made them look interested in waiting for Yu on the side, and at the same time made them have a little more respect for the two.

To tell the truth, Hongmen has always been in education, for the difference between the Chinese enemy and the enemy is actually quite important, although there are many Dayuan Island natives in the team, but in their opinion, these natives are also among the Chinese, because the other party is inclined to Chinese culture and has been changing himself, learning to integrate into Chinese culture.

The Jurchens outside the Guan, it seems that there is not much intersection with the Hongmen, but their many bad deeds inside and outside the Guan, as well as the treatment of the Chinese people as livestock, have been spread from the past maritime merchants, Qixintang and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.

Not to mention that in these years, Hongmen has not only not been banned because of the chaos of the world, but has expanded the study tours of students inside and outside the Guan, allowing the children of Hongmen to witness the tragic lives of the people inside and outside the Guan, and bringing spiritual baptism to the children of Hongmen from the inside out.

Therefore, for national heroes like Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou who fought hard against the Jurchen barbarians outside the Guan, and sacrificed their lives for righteousness, the special operations battalions, including Hou Yu, admired them.

And in the Jingshi, they secretly observed Wu Sangui's heroic battles, and treated Hong Chengchou's various actions, all of which gave Hou Yu extra points in their hearts, but it was a pity that Hou Yu had to treat Wu Sangui and them as enemies, in fact, in their hearts, they were not willing to slaughter them.

"Battalion commander, we have captured everyone anyway, so we don't want to do anything to kidnap them back to their hometown and imprison them, it is not better than assassinating them here now, and at the same time, it can be regarded as completing the task of the family."

Although everyone's assassination this time is not a failure, but there is an enemy tracking behind them, even if they kill Wu Sangui at this moment to greet them, it will definitely be a more crazy revenge and blow from the enemy, who can know what kind of problem will happen in the end, so when a team member pulled Hou Yu out of the carriage and quietly discussed with him how to deal with Wu Sangui and them, Hou Yu was also a little moved.

The direction in which Hou Yu and the others were traveling at this time was actually not much different from the direction in which Wu Sangui and the others were originally going to go, they were all going to cross the river, as for whether there would be anyone on the river to support them at this time, Hou Yu and they still had some confidence.

Don't forget that they went north to assassinate and other teams on this trip, but there was a team of thirty-six people in half a row, and at this time, there were only sixteen people in the team escorting Wu Sangui, and the rest of the team members were originally mixed into Wu Sangui's team with Hou Yu, and later after seeing Hou Yu and them exposed, they had already quietly left and prepared a way back for them.

As for whether they will think of their own thoughts and actions, in fact, when they showed up, Hou Yu and they sent the information out through specific methods, and at this time, the other party must be preparing a retreat for themselves and others on the bank of the Yellow River.

Hou Yu was undecided, but with Wu Sangui's personal soldiers who were only following behind them, even if Hou Yu wanted to kill Wu Sangui to prevent future troubles, I am afraid that it would be difficult to get out, and it would make the group of partners around him fall into an endless and crazy pursuit.

"General, the group of bandits in front of us are marching towards the bank of the Yellow River with people, let's continue to passively chase after us like this, I'm afraid we will be thrown off by the other party!!"

The Wu scouts had been their eyes and ears, staring at the horse-drawn carriage procession in front of them, and the closer they got to the Yellow River, the more they became clear about each other's purpose.

"Old boss, you take someone to collect a few fishing boats on the edge of the Yellow River first, and then rush to join me, and I will lead the team to chase the other party to see if I can stop it by the river, and then look for an opportunity to delay you time."

Xia Guoxiang heard the scout's report, and planned to implement a rescue plan to continue such a stalemate, which would be a more unfavorable party for them, if they really wanted to let the other party cross the Yellow River, most of the hundreds of soldiers around him would be thrown off by the other party, and when the time came, I am afraid that they would be at a disadvantage.

"No!"

The middle-aged man, nicknamed the old general, took the order and galloped out of the team with a group of people, and hurried towards the nearest bank of the Yellow River.

"The guy in the back picked up speed and seemed to be ready to stop us before crossing the river!"

It's not just the other party's scouts who are staring at themselves, but also Hou Yu, and some of them are staring at the pursuers behind, and when the other party picks up speed, someone comes to report to Hou Yu.

"Can't wait any longer?" Hou Yu was not surprised at all, and immediately issued an order to his companions: "Everyone is divided into two teams, a group of eight people with a carriage to move separately, and then get rid of the pursuers and meet at the predetermined place!" ”

"Drive!!"

Suddenly, the original team of sixteen people was divided into two at once, and between a fork in the road they were divided into grain teams, and each of them dispersed.

This made the pursuers behind them a little dazed, no one could guess that the carriage was carrying their own general, and now under the passivity of Xia Guoxiang, they actually have no other choice but to follow the other party's changes.

"Luo Jin, you take half of the men and horses to the left to chase, if you find that there is no general among them, kill this group of bandits and come back to join us!"

Xia Guoxiang's eyes showed a cold light, and he commanded fiercely, although the other party's division of troops made their own side uncomfortable, but accordingly, they could also take the opportunity to eliminate one of the teams to vent their anger.

"No!!"

Luo Jin waved his hand, and half of the cavalry team around him followed him towards the horse team on the left, while the rest of the men continued to pursue the team on the right under the leadership of Xia Guoxiang.

It didn't take long for the scouts to report that the bandits in front of them suddenly abandoned the car and turned to driving horses, among which there were traces of the two adults, Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou.

At this time, there was no more doubt, Xia Guoxiang could only let the brigade squeeze out the horsepower of the war horses and try his best to catch up with the horse team in front, as for the horse team on the other side, they must have been tracking errors, and the horse team should be able to meet with their side.

However, the previous chase had already consumed a lot of horsepower, and Xia Guoxiang's cavalry was in a hurry to catch up, and he only wanted to chase and rescue Wu Sangui and them with the most troops, but he didn't think that he would prepare two war horses by himself like Hou Yu and them, and the more they chased, the more they drifted away from the team with two war horses in rotation.

In the end, when they chased to a remote mountain village on the bank of the Yellow River, they were left with only a few war horses lying on the ground and gasping for breath, and countless messy footprints.

Obviously, in this village, there are accomplices of this group of kidnappers, arranging a back road for them, but Xia Guoxiang, who was in a hurry along the way, could only watch the few black shadows on the river disappear into the horizon on the other side because they did not prepare the boat in advance, and then disappeared into the vast land.

"Bastard!! I'll find you!! ”

Xia Guo faced the turbid water of the Yellow River, shouting loudly and venting.

On the other side, Hou Yu, who finally got rid of the chasing soldiers behind him and joined up with the cadres lurking outside, could not see the night and could not hear the announcement behind them, they took Wu Sangui and the two of them at this time to continue to move towards the southern wilderness, and after leaving the Yellow River, they suddenly turned left and marched in the direction of the rising sun.

However, Hou Yu, who was originally able to carry out the assassination plan of Wu Sangui after getting rid of the chasing soldiers behind him, because of the suggestions of the previous team members and the performance of Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou themselves along the way, they were a little moved, anyway, the most difficult step has been done by them, and then they can reach the coastline in a few days, and they will be able to reach the coastline with their own Hongmen sea boat to send them home.

Maybe the scattered team members on the other side are likely to lure Wu Sangui's personal soldiers over, and when they still have these two shields, they don't need to be in such a hurry to kill them.

Hou Yu comforted himself, he didn't want to admit that he was actually a little soft-hearted, after all, as a fighter, he had actually violated the mission requirements by doing so.

A few days later, the eight soldiers of the special operations battalion who were scattered with Hou Yu returned safely, and Hou Yu and they also arrived safely in the coastal area, as a sea ship slowly appeared in the bay they had predetermined, and the team was picked up by the sea ship, Wu Sangui and they seemed to be getting closer and closer to the real protagonist who wanted their lives.

"I'm sorry, Minister, we randomly changed the mission results!"

After drifting on the sea for more than half a month, Hou Yu and the others came back safely, and the first thing they did when they got off the ship was to find a secluded place to detain Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou, and at the same time report the results to Wu Jie, the head of the military department.

"We know that we know that we will not be subject to foreign military orders, and the purpose of letting you directly assassinate Wu Sangui and his people before was to make your mission easier, but since you brought the living back this time, it cannot be said that your mission failed!"

Wu Jie was not angry because of the special operations camp Hou Yu and their self-assertions, because he had already understood that when he was really on the battlefield, many things were just acting at the opportunity, not to mention that Hou Yu and what they had gained here were far more effective than the previous assassinations, and it was too late to reward them, so how could they punish him.

However, now the arrival of Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou, the two Ming generals, is actually not a very easy thing to deal with, after all, Li Tianyang's official skin is still given by the Ming Dynasty, and if the news leaks out, it will be a troublesome thing for Li Tianyang.

After settling Hou Yu and Wu Sangui first, Wu Jie immediately led people to Huludao to find Li Tianyang to discuss the matter.

It is also strange to say that in the past two years, Li Tianyang, the supreme leader of Hongmen, no longer likes to stay in the prosperous areas of Bengang and Jilonggang, but prefers to take the children of various families to work in Huludao, the largest military camp in Hongtang, while dealing with all kinds of affairs, while teaching the children of each family to learn knowledge and exercise.

Under the influence of Li Tianyang, Wu Jie, who is now about to be fifty years old, and the rest of the middle and high-level generals of Hongmen also came to Huludao and other military camps to visit the door, or to experience the life in the military camp back then, and had a lot of reverie.

"Wu Sangui was captured alive by you? In Keelung Harbor now? ”

Li Tianyang was really a little surprised, the reason why he valued Wu Sangui and his people a lot, it was actually due to his understanding of the history of later generations, as the trend of history became unrecognizable, Li Tianyang's vague memory has long had no reference value, so for Wu Sangui, a famous Ming Dynasty thief in later history, Li Tianyang sent Hou Yu and others to carry out the assassination mission, but he thought that there was a meaning of killing mistakes and not letting go, at least the strength of the Qing people could not grow too fast.

"Yes, yes, let people bring them to Hulu Island!! No, no, no, I'll go back and meet them in person!! ”

Li Tianyang was a little excited, this is a few historical celebrities he has seen since he crossed over, and now he is still a prisoner of his ranks, Li Tianyang naturally has a lot of interest.
