Chapter 216: Advance and Retreat

As soon as Shangguan Xiu said this, he immediately frightened Jiang Ting again, not because Jiang Ting was timid, but because he didn't dare to risk Tong Yang's life.

Seeing that a large number of soldiers of the Ningnan Army were still blocked at the gate of the camp, Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "Since you want to watch him die, I will fulfill you!"

As he spoke, he made a gesture to wipe the saber down, Jiang Ting's body shook, and he screamed: "Wait, wait! Get out of the way, you all get out of the way!"

Under Jiang Ting's shouting, the officers and men of the Ningnan Army reluctantly retreated to both sides, watching Shangguan Xiu hold Tong Yang hostage and walk over step by step in front of him.

Out of the camp of the Ningnan Army, Shangguan Xiu pulled Tong Yang to turn around, faced the camp of the Ningnan Army, looked at the people who were about to chase out of the camp gate, and said: "Don't come out! ”

The crowd stiffened, and the legs that had stepped out were immediately retracted.

Shangguan Xiu's eagle eyes stared at the people in the camp without blinking, and pulled Tong Yang back step by step. He was about to retreat into the jungle when he heard the sound of breaking wind behind him, followed by a scream.

A Ningnan Army's archer suddenly fell from a big tree not far from him, and with it, a longbow and an arrow also fell next to the corpse, and in the back of the corpse, a spiritual arrow was inserted in a shocking way.

Shangguan Xiu glanced back, only looking at the spirit arrow, he immediately recognized it as a cold arrow that was released.

After a short time, two black shadows appeared out of thin air on the left and right sides of Shangguan Xiu, and when he looked closely, the two dark cultivators with black spirit armor were a man and a woman, both holding spirit bows in their hands, and the two of them were Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei.

The two first looked at Shangguan Xiu, and then at Tong Yang, who was held hostage by him, and asked uncertainly, "Brother Xiu?"

"It's me!" Shangguan Xiu replied in his own voice. Now he is still the appearance of that veteran, even if Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei are often by his side and are so familiar with him, they can't recognize him at this time.

Hearing his words, Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei breathed a long sigh in unison, and they finally joined Brother Xiu. The two of them asked again, "Who is this ......?"

"Tong Yang. Shangguan Xiu said softly.

Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei were stunned, and then their faces both showed ecstasy, the main general of the Ningnan Army fell into the hands of Brother Xiu, and he finally had hope.

The two of them both raised the spirit bow in their hands, aimed at Tong Yang, who was held by Shangguan Xiu, and shouted to everyone in the Ningnan army: "Whoever dares to step out of the camp, he will be the first to die!"

Shangguan Xiu, Xiao Jue, and Wu Yufei held Tong Yang hostage, withdrew more than ten meters away, and entered the jungle, and then Shangguan Xiu clamped Tong Yang to the armpit, turned around and ran. Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei followed behind him, running wildly in the direction of Xibu Mountain, while looking around vigilantly.

When they chased out of the camp, Shangguan Xiu and others had already taken Tong Yang through the woods and ran into the wheat field under Xibu Mountain. They were about to go up the mountain, and a group of spiritual cultivators of the Ningnan Army caught up behind them, and one of the leaders was the leader of the dragon slaying team, Guo Wu.

The distance was so far away that Guo Wu shouted loudly: "Wait for Hugh to leave!"

Shangguan Xiu glanced back, handed the Tong Yang in his hand to Xiao Jue, and said to the two of them: "You take him back to the mountain first, and I'll cut him off!"

"Brother Xiu, be careful!" Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei both nodded, and with Tong Yang, they rushed towards Xibu Mountain.

Shangguan Xiu stood still and did not move, and when Guo Wu and the others chased him closely, he scattered the spirit armor on his face, revealing that he had changed back to his original appearance, looked around at Guo Wu and the others, and said: "No need to chase anymore, even if you catch up, you can't save Tong Yang, at most you can snatch back a corpse." ”

Guo Wu's gaze fell on Shangguan Xiu's face and said, "Shangguan Xiu?!"

"Yes. ”

"You let our general go!"

"Haha......" Shangguan Xiu smiled, amused by the other party's words. Guo Wu also realized that what he had just said was too stupid, and he asked again: "How can you be willing to release people?"

"First of all, you have to withdraw your troops. ”

Guo Wu's face was ugly, he was only the leader of the dragon slaying team, and it was not up to him to decide such a big matter as withdrawing troops.

Shangguan Xiu continued: "Also, the grain on the mountain has been burned by you, if you don't want Tong Yang to be as hungry as us, send some food up the mountain." If you send a few days of food, Tong Yang will be able to eat a few days of full food, and as for how much to send, it is up to you to decide! Two days later, if your army is still at the foot of Xibu Mountain and has not yet withdrawn, you will wait to collect Tong Yang's body.

After speaking, Shangguan Xiu arched his hand to Guo Wu and turned to leave, Guo Wu raised his hand and shouted, "Wait!"

He took a deep breath, took two steps forward, walked to Shangguan Xiu, and said word by word: "If the general is missing a single hair, you, and everyone on Xibu Mountain, will die without a place to be buried!"

"Haha!" Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, and said disappreciatively: "Our life and death, don't worry about you, what you should worry about is your own life and death." The Tong family's power in Ningnan is not small, the son of the Tong family has three longs and two shorts in Xibu Mountain, including you, and all the other generals, they will not be able to eat and walk around, and you will never have a foothold in Ningnan!"

His words made Guo Wu and everyone present change their faces, and people gasped in unison.

Shangguan Xiu didn't know how much power the Tong family had in Ningnan, and Wei Tian didn't explain it too carefully to him, but through the performance of those Ningnan soldiers in the camp just now, he could judge that the Tong family's strength in Ningnan should definitely not be underestimated.

"You...... What the hell do you want us to do?"

"One withdraws the army, and the other sends food!"

"It can't be!"

"Then there's no talk about it, you guys wait to collect Tong Yang's body!" Shangguan Xiu shrugged nonchalantly.

"I can't decide this. Guo Wu said with an ugly face.

"Then find someone who can call the shots and talk to me. Shangguan Xiu turned around and walked in the direction of Xibu Mountain, and at the same time said without looking back: "Don't play tricks with me, Tong Yang is in my hands, which means that your life and death are also in my hands, if you have to force me to poison Tong Yang, it's a big deal, we will burn all the jade, and no one wants to live!"

Looking at Shangguan Xiu's swaggering back, Guo Wu's fists clenched and gurgled, but there was nothing he could do. Seeing Shangguan Xiu walking farther and farther, Guo Wu's subordinates stepped forward one after another and asked, "General, just let him go?"

"Otherwise, what else can I do?" I'm afraid that as soon as they fight with Shangguan Xiu, they will kill Tong Yang, as Shangguan Xiu said, if Tong Yang dies, none of them will be better, and they will all suffer.

Everyone looked at each other, and in the end no one spoke.

The battle of Xibu Mountain was a battle for the Ningnan army, with 30,000 against 3,000, no matter how you look at it, this battle is impossible to lose. Tong Yang, a wealthy son from a prominent background, as the chief general of the whole army, is actually more like he came to gild, take a merit, and take over the post of commander of the Seventh Army in the future. As a result, the war went in the opposite direction. The first battle of the first day was not easy, the Ningnan army stormed for a whole day, not only failed to take Xibu Mountain, but suffered heavy casualties, and so on until dawn the next day, the sneak attack of the Ningnan army was seen through by the Feng army, intercepted halfway, and even the main general Tong Yang was captured alive by Shangguan Xiu who was mixed into the camp.

In the tent of the Ningnan Army, there were generals of all sizes, and there were people sitting in a tent, but the atmosphere inside was silent and terrifyingly depressing, and the air seemed to be condensed, making people feel out of breath.

"It's not a way to go on like this, the general is in the hands of the wind people, and his life is in danger at any time!" Igor looked at the people around him, frowned and said, "We must rescue the general as soon as possible!"

"How to save it?" Ling Xue glanced at Igor and said, "Now that the Fengren is taking the general as a hostage, our slightest rash move may put the general's life in danger!"

Guo Wu licked his dry lips and said, "Shangguan Xiu made two conditions, one is for us to withdraw the army, and the other is for us to send grain to Xibu Mountain. ”

"Daydreaming!" said Igor and Ling Xue in unison.

Guo Wu ignored the two of them, he turned his eyes to Jiang Ting and asked, "What does Mr. Jiang Ting think?"

Jiang Ting has no specific position in the army, but he is a member of the Tong family, and to a large extent, he can represent the opinions of the Tong family. Jiang Ting's face was gloomy and ugly, he was silent for a while, and asked, "General Guo, don't you have subordinates lurking on Xibu Mountain, can they rescue the general?"

Guo Wu shook his head slightly and said, "Now that the Feng Army is heavily guarded, I can't contact my people anymore, and I don't know if they are dead or alive now." After a pause, he changed his words and said: "Shangguan Xiu only gave us two days, and he said that if we don't withdraw our troops in two days, we will ......."

Jiang Ting shook his head again and again, he couldn't decide on such a big matter. He rolled his eyes and said, "Immediately pass the book to Peng Shuai Feige, please make a decision!"

Under the current circumstances, whether to withdraw the army or not to withdraw the army, this decision is the safest decision made by Peng Huang, the commander of the Seventh Army, and it will be investigated by the imperial court in the future, and Peng Huang will naturally bear it.

Guo Wu glanced at Jiang Ting deeply and asked in a low voice, "What if Peng Shuai decides not to withdraw his troops?"

"This ......" He asked Jiang Ting again, yes, what if Peng Huang refused to withdraw his troops? Do you want to watch Gongzi die at the hands of Fengren?

His mind turned sharply, and he said faintly: "The general is not here, the deputy general should be in charge of the military affairs of the whole army, General Igor, General Ling, how should you decide this matter?"
