Chapter 16 Zhou Xue, please Ying

As mentioned last time, Guo Youzhi led his troops to occupy favorable terrain and block the attack of Xu Sheng's troops. After the Shu army repelled Xu Sheng's attack, they did not pursue too much, but returned to their positions and continued to hold on.

After Zhao commanded Liu Hou's order, he quickly ran over with a few personal soldiers to talk to Guo Youzhi, and when he arrived at the position of Guo Youzhi's troops, Guo Youzhi's troops were fighting with Xu Sheng's troops.

Zhao Tong looked up and saw that there was a hot air balloon floating in the air, but it was not dropped and it was not damaged, and he was secretly relieved. Obviously, the hot air balloons on this side of the battlefield were not attacked by the Soochow army. This hot air balloon floating in the air was supposed to be used only for reconnaissance purposes.

The Shu army generally encounters a difficult battle, or when it is difficult to cross the natural danger, it will go all out to dispatch the hot air balloon troops, and only one or two are usually dispatched for reconnaissance.

The people of Eastern Wu obviously knew this, so at the beginning of Liu Hou's attack on Ding Feng, when the Shu army first dispatched one or two reconnaissance hot air balloons, Ding Fengbing did not order a bed crossbow attack, and waited until the Shu army attacked in full and dispatched all the hot air balloons, and then suddenly gave the Shu army's air force a ruthless blow.

A moment of forbearance, but can make the battle a decisive victory, I have to say that Ding Feng is a general with a lot of experience in war.

However, this time, Xu Sheng did not have the same intention of casting a long line to catch a big fish as Ding Feng, but the Eastern Wu army came on a high-speed march, and the bed crossbow could not be carried with the army.

The bed crossbow of this era is a fixed device, which is generally a sharp weapon to be fixed and installed in the city wall, fortress and other places to defend. Only a futuristic person like Liu Hou would have thought of installing a bed crossbow on a horse-drawn cart, or loading a cannon on wheels, and then running around with horses or manpower.

Zhao Tong entered the camp and conveyed Liu Hou's words to Guo Youzhi, who was also taken aback. He knew the severity of the matter, and after hurriedly entrusting the defense to Guan Xing, E Huan and other deputy generals, he followed Zhao Tong back to Liu Hou to discuss the solution.

Liu Hou was very happy to see him coming, and he was thinking hard about a solution. Now it would be nice to have a military advisor come over to help.

Liu Hou thought of many ways to rescue the hostages, the first thing that came to mind was of course negotiation, if Ding Fengken released people, he didn't mind paying a certain price, in fact, he also sent a negotiation envoy as soon as possible.

The reluctant messenger soon returned, saying that the other party refused to exchange money for prisoners. Moreover, the condition put forward by the Eastern Wu people was that the Shu army should withdraw and return to Lingnan, otherwise they would refuse to release them.

This is obviously unreasonable, the Shu army has already occupied the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang, can you give up three counties for the sake of three soldiers? You must know that Liu Hou captured 7 generals of Eastern Wu and asked Sun Quan to exchange each county for a county, but Sun Quan still refused.

The status of these 7 generals in Eastern Wu can be described as pivotal, and Sun Quan is reluctant to exchange a county, let alone three ordinary soldiers? Therefore, Ding Feng had no sincerity in negotiating at all, but he was just entertaining Liu Hou.

Now that the negotiations have broken down, Liu Hou has no choice but to think of other ways, and the so-called other ways are only violent rescue, but what to do? It's a real headache.

He once thought about the scene in the Hong Kong film where the Flying Tigers hung down from the roof and then broke through the glass and entered through the window; I have ever thought about the scene in Counter-Strike, where two flashbangs are thrown first, and then rushed in to save people; What I think about the most is the hostage rescue section of the polar bear country, of course, the funny version:

Old Maozi Scout: Report to the General, the terrorists have hostages!

Staff Officer Maozi: It seems that it will be difficult to eliminate them.

General Maozi: Okay, then kill the hostages first, and then kill the terrorists.

Terrorists: You terrorists!

……

To be honest, Liu Hou also wants to do that now, this is the most pleasant, the simplest, and the most deterrent, and he will never have to worry about someone kidnapping his relatives to blackmail him in the future.

However, the way of thinking of the people of the Celestial Empire is really different from the way of thinking of Lao Maozi, if he does this, he will definitely be branded as cruel and unkind, and he will be called murderous. It is very easy to lead yourself to centrifugation.

There is no way, since you have come to the Three Kingdoms era, you have to follow the customs, since you have decided to take the benevolent route, you must stick to it, as a superior person, it is not suitable to be quick for a while.

Liu Hou put aside those ridiculous thoughts and discussed the rescue plan with Guo Youzhi in a down-to-earth manner. Time passed minute by minute, so much so that the two of them forgot to eat lunch.

"Do you want to send Unit 101?" Liu Hou lay on the table, looking at the drawings spread on the table. This drawing was drawn in a scout hot air balloon and sent back. After Liu Hou retired from the army, he sent a hot air balloon into the air and flew to a place beyond the range of the bed crossbow to monitor the enemy's every move, and marked some key places on the layout of the enemy camp that had been drawn long ago.

"Prince! Please let me convince Ding Feng. Before Guo Youzhi could answer Liu Hou's question, a nice female voice came in, and then, with a flower in front of them, Liu Hou and Guo Youzhi saw a green shadow enter the military tent.

Hearing the voice, Liu Hou knew that it was Zhou Xue, and when he looked up, it was Zhou Xue's flower-like face.

Because he was going to march and fight, Liu Hou hadn't seen her for many days, and he undoubtedly missed her very much. But he was also depressed, why did Zhou Xue always come and go in his barracks this week? The security of this barracks is too poor.

He didn't want to think about it, his attitude towards Zhou Xue was obvious to everyone, and this Zhou Xue was likely to become the crown princess in the future. Liu Hou did not order her to be forbidden to enter the barracks, in this case, who would dare to stop the future crown princess?

"Why are you here? We're discussing military planes, so go back first, and I'll see you when I'm free." Liu Hou looked at Zhou Xuedao.

"Prince, please let me persuade Ding Feng." Zhou Xuedao.

"What? Are you going to persuade Ding Feng? Can you persuade him? Liu Hou thought, he sent someone to negotiate and promised a lot of benefits, and this Ding Feng didn't let go, although you said that you have an old relationship with her, but if you want to persuade a battle-hardened veteran like Ding Feng to make changes based on interpersonal relationships, it's basically impossible.

"I'll be able to persuade him to surrender, please let me try. You promised me, every general of Eastern Wu will give me a chance to persuade me to surrender. ”

When Liu Hou heard this, my obedient man, it turned out that this Zhou Xue was not trying to persuade Ding Feng to release him, but wanted to persuade him to surrender further, which was even more unreliable. Looking at the generals of Eastern Wu, all of them are brave and loyal, and they have fought for the Sun family for many years.

Mo said that she was just Zhou Yu's daughter, even if Zhou Yu came in person and personally persuaded them to surrender, they would not necessarily betray Eastern Wu and Sun Quan.

"Well, it's not that I won't agree to let you go, but I'm afraid that you will be in danger if you go."

"No, General Ding is my uncle, he won't do anything to me."

Liu Hou felt that her political consciousness was really not very high. Now that the two countries are at war, where will those so-called people who do great things talk to you about friendship.

People like Xiang Yu who talk about friendship, even if they are invincible, are played to death in the end. shameless, people like Liu Bang finally won the world.

The most feared thing is that Ding Feng knew that Liu Hou coveted Zhou Xue's beauty and knew how important Zhou Xue was to Liu Hou, so he detained her and used her as a hostage to blackmail Liu Hou. In that case, Liu Hou would have one more hostage to rescue, and the difficulty of the operation would increase a few points.

"This ...... After all, you haven't seen him for a long time, and I don't know if he still recognizes you, and if he will be as good to you as he used to be. Liu Hou really didn't know how to explain it, and it took him a long time to come up with this very lame reason.

"No, I know Uncle Ding's personality best, and he won't be unfavorable to me no matter what." From Ding Feng to General Ding, and then to Uncle Ding, it can be seen that Zhou Xue is anxious about the change of Cheng Dù, and it can also be seen that she and Ding Feng should be very familiar.

It seems that Zhou Yu's subordinates took care of Zhou Xue during Zhou Xue's growth process. Although this is the case, Liu Hou didn't want her to take this risk, but before he could continue to refuse Zhou Xue, Guo Yuzhi spoke:

"Your Highness, it doesn't hurt to let Miss Zhou try it. Maybe there's an unexpected surprise. ”

Liu Hou looked at Guo Youzhi, only to see him blink and wink. Although Liu Hou didn't know what his idea was, he knew that he must have a good intention, so he cooperated:

"It's okay to let you go, but you must pay attention to safety, come back as soon as there is anything wrong, don't be reckless, don't provoke Ding Feng. In short, you have to remember that you can do what you can do, and you can't do things and run away immediately. Liu Houdao.

"I see." Zhou Xue agreed and turned around to leave.

"Wait!" Guo Youzhi said, "Miss Zhou just came from the rear, she must be tired from traveling for days, you might as well rest in the camp first, and wait until it gets dark before going." ”

Liu Hou: "...... "What the hell is this Guo Yuzhi doing?" If you want to enter the Wu camp, of course, it is better to go during the day. It's just past lunchtime, so it's the best time to go.

If you go at night, the lights are blind, and the sentry guard will be highly nervous at night, and when you see someone coming, you are likely to shoot them indiscriminately. Therefore, it is much more dangerous to go at night than during the day.

He looked at Guo Youzhi, and when he saw Guo Youzhi giving him a look again, he understood that Guo Youzhi must have thought of some strategy. This strategy may require Zhou Xue to enter the Soochow military camp at night.

Although he knew that Guo Yu had a plan, Liu Hou was still reluctant to let Zhou Xue take the risk.

"Mr. Guo, isn't it dangerous to let Miss Zhou enter the Wu camp at this time?"

Guo Youzhi seemed to understand the worry in Liu Hou's heart, and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured, Miss Zhou will be fine."

"Yes, I'll be fine, Uncle Ding has watched me grow up since I was a child, and besides, he will always give a few thin noodles to my father." Zhou Xue saw that Liu Hou was a little hesitant, and hurriedly said.

Liu Hou thought about it, even if Ding Feng suspected Zhou Xue of collusion with the Shu army, for the sake of Zhou Yu's face, at most, he would only imprison Zhou Xue, and it would definitely not harm her life. It's a big deal, and then I'll rescue her after breaking through his camp.

So, he finally agreed to Zhou Xue's request to go to Wuying, and cooperated with Guo Youzhi's request: "Xuexue, you better rest for a while, and then go in the evening." Now that the two armies are cleaning up the battlefield in front of the formation, it is easy to cause misunderstanding and lead to conflict. You'd better wait until the evening when everyone is done. At that time, you will be able to enter the Wu camp from the battlefield of Rongtongguò. ”

Liu Hou's explanation is really not convincing, and the reason is very pale. However, Zhou Xue didn't think much about it, she just wanted to wait until night, not to mention that she was born in assassination, and night was more favorable to her than during the day, so she agreed.

Liu Hou asked someone to arrange a place for Zhou Xue to rest, and then came back to continue to discuss the rescue plan with Guo Youzhi. Especially very curious about Guo Youzhi's arrangement for Zhou Xue to enter the Wu camp to persuade Ding Feng to surrender, just when Zhou Xue went back to rest, he could take the opportunity to ask Guo Youzhi about his plans.
