Chapter 596: Hostage-taking
"It's really damned, what is the origin of this Wei Qing, he is so strong, General Jebe is not their opponent at all, now our army is really dangerous, I can't imagine that I suffered such a tragic defeat the first time I stepped here, compared to Cao Mengde, this person under Lu Rui is stronger, and now Wei Qing and Huo Qu are menacing, if we continue like this, we will be dangerous." On this side, Kublai Khan covered his head and felt a very headache, this Wei Qing and Huo Qubing directly wiped out Jebe, and Li Siye directly captured Jebe alive, now Kublai Khan's vitality is greatly injured, not to mention, the military spirit is still very unstable, and Wei Qing does not seem to want to let himself and others leave alive, so Kublai Khan has to have a headache.
"Great Khan, I just received a flying pigeon message." At this moment, a soldier walked in, holding a letter, and said to Kublai Khan.
"Show me it." When Kublai Khan heard this, he took the letter, and after reading the contents of the letter, the headache on his face was instantaneous, and it was replaced by a look of fear.
"Dahan is really a terrible place, Jia Xu, you old poison is really ruthless enough, you can come up with such a poisonous plan, and you know that I have no way back now, don't worry that I won't take your suggestion, if I don't adopt it, then I will be wiped out by the Wei Youth League, and then Cao Mengde's conquest of Mongolia will become much smoother, if I adopt it, I still have the possibility of saving my life, and I also helped you consume Wu Qi, which is equivalent to helping you consume Lu Rui, which is a no-loss business for you Cao Wei. Don't we have the opportunity to enter the Han Dynasty in this life? After talking to himself for a while, Kublai Khan had decided that the present crisis must now be resolved, no matter who benefited in the end, and he decided to take the advice from Jia Xu's flying pigeon.
"Uncle, there was news just now, the Metropolitan Governor has forced Ran Min and Jia Xu away, and now they are rushing over to join us." On the other side, Huo Quzhi also received the news, found Wei Qing, and said to Wei Qing.
"Well, in this case, we also need to work harder, fight quickly, and wait until we take Kublai Khan to welcome the arrival of the Grand Governor." Wei Qing nodded when he heard this, and then set off immediately with his team, this time, Wei Qing decided to take Kublai Khan before Wu Qi came up.
But what happened next surprised Wei Qing, Kublai Khan didn't plan to confront Wei Qing head-on this time, but instead occupied a mountain peak, wanting to rely on the condescending terrain to fight Wei Qing.
"This Kublai Khan is not looking for death, in that case, send an order to go down and besiege Kublai Khan, remember not to let them go, I want to see how long they can hold out without water." After Wei Qing got the news, he directly gave this order, such a great opportunity, how could Wei Qing let it go so easily.
"Uncle, this Mongol has always been good at taking the initiative and not good at defense, this time Kublai Khan actually gave up their best horse warfare, and instead occupied the high ground to confront us, will there be any deception in this? I don't think his Kublai Khan's brain is so bad that he attacks the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings. Seeing such a situation, Huo Quzhi walked over and said to Wei Qing.
"This is also what I am worried about, but the Mongols have always fought without a rear when they attack, and the food and water they carry with them are very limited, and they can't hold out for too long, in this case, we are here to spend with them, as long as we don't take the initiative to attack, they will not be able to implement even if they have any plans against us, and when the metropolitan governor arrives, they will almost not be able to hold on." When Wei Qing heard this, he looked at Huo Quzhi and said to Huo Quai.
"Well, it seems that this is the best way right now, just do what my uncle says!" Huo Quzhi thought about it carefully when he heard this, and it seemed that this was the same reason, so he immediately went down and arranged for people to guard Kublai Khan around.
"Dahan, Wei Qing has besieged us, and we really have no way to retreat now." On the top of the mountain, a soldier found Kublai Khan and said to him.
"How long will it take for Wu Qi to arrive?" When Kublai Khan heard this, he asked the soldier.
"It's going to take another day." Hearing this, the soldier thought about it and said to Kublai Khan.
"One day? The food and water we brought with us could still hold on, okay! The order goes down to everyone to rest, and tomorrow, it will be up to you to see if the plan can succeed. Kublai Khan nodded, then waved his hand and motioned for the soldier to retreat first, and leave the rest to him.
The next day, Wu Qi took people to Wei Qing to meet, after Wei Qing saw Wu Qi, he briefly explained the current situation to Wu Qi, Wu Qi heard Kublai Khan's approach, his expression was also puzzled, obviously Wu Qi did not believe that Kublai Khan would be the kind of guy who liked to defend.
"Dadudu, there is a messenger coming down from the mountain, saying that Kublai Khan has something to tell you, and please go out to have a look." At this time, a soldier ran in, looked at Wu Qi, and said to Wu Qi.
"Kublai Khan looking for me? What kind of medicine is sold in this Kublai Khan's gourd, but it just so happens, General Huo, you lead your people to prepare immediately, if Kublai Khan does not have many people this time, immediately attack and do not stay, and kill Kublai Khan here. Wu Qi didn't think much about it when he heard this, and walked out directly, but before that, he gave an order to Huo Quzhi, and Huo Qubing was obviously more proficient in this kind of sudden attack.
"Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me." Huo Quzhi nodded when he heard this, and then set off immediately with people.
Wu Qi soon came outside, beside him, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and other tiger generals guarded around him, and Wu Qi didn't bring more people, after all, Wu Qi knew that if it was something that these people couldn't solve together, it would be useless to bring more people by himself.
However, when Wu Qi saw Kublai Khan, his face suddenly became gloomy, because Kublai Khan was still accompanied by a few Mongolian soldiers, but these Mongolian soldiers still controlled a few people, Wu Qi knew at a glance that they were the people captured by Kublai Khan, and now, Kublai Khan planned to threaten himself with the lives of these people.
"Kublai Khan, what do you mean by that?" Wu Qi forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Kublai Khan, and said coldly to Kublai Khan. The weapons in the hands of the few people next to him were also tightly gripped, and there was already fire in their eyes.
