Chapter 390: Substitution Conditions

Zhu Yueyue was the first to arrive, and she was about to rescue Yu Ren alone, when Ruolan hurriedly came to inform her that Yu Ren was back.

Not long after Zhu Yueyue arrived, Ma Dacheng and Liang Zongyi also arrived. Hearing that there was a Jurchen from outside the city, saying that Yu Ren was in their hands, and that they should withdraw from Zhenjiang in exchange for Yu Ren's life, everyone couldn't help but have a headache.

To say that Zhenjiang City is indeed very important, and their capture of the city this time is not as smooth as they imagined, if they give up, it is too difficult to take it back. But if you don't withdraw, in case the Jurchens really kill Yu Ren!

They didn't dare to take this risk, the strategic significance of Zhenjiang City was important, but compared to Yu Ren's life, the value in everyone's hearts was very different. In Zhu Yueyue's heart, there is certainly nothing that can compare with Yu Ren's life; For Liang Zongyi, although Zhenjiang City is important, it cannot be compared with Yu Ren's life.

But for Ma Dacheng, in his eyes, although Yu Ren's life is important, but now is the time when the family and country are in danger, a Zhenjiang city may be able to reverse the strategic passivity of the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty will turn from defense to attack in the battle with the Jurchens. Therefore, compared with Yu Ren's life, Ma Dacheng still thinks that Zhenjiang City is more important.

When Mao Fugui saw that everyone was coming, he didn't speak. Zhu Yueyue hurriedly went outside the city to take a look, but Liang Zongyi stopped her.

"Princess, don't worry. Since the Jurchens are here, if Mr. is in their hands, they want to exchange Mr. for the city, so naturally they will not easily hurt Mr. If Mr. is not in the hands of the Jurchens, and they are just lying to us with empty words, then we don't have to worry.

For now, we have to come up with a solution. Even if we exchange Zhenjiang City, we have to leave behind. ”

Zhu Yueyue listened to Liang Zongyi's words, and then sat down again. At the moment, Yu Ren is not there, everything is presided over by Liang Zongyi, although she is Yu Ren's wife, but in these major matters, she is obviously not as thoughtful as Liang Zongyi. There was a quarrel last night, mainly because she didn't know Yu Ren's life and death, and now that she knew that he was okay for the time being, she calmed down.

"In my opinion, if the Jurchens are really willing to use Zhenjiang City to exchange Mr. with us, there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, we are currently in control of Zhenjiang City, and although we have withdrawn, we can quietly leave a group of people behind and hide them in the city. When Mr. Yu comes back, let's kill him again. With this group of people as internal responses, I believe that it will not be difficult to recapture Zhenjiang.

As far as I know, there are no important Jurchen strongholds around Zhenjiang, and if they want to transfer troops from the direction of Liaoyang, it will take seven days to get there, to say the least. By that time, we would have recaptured Zhenjiang long ago. ”

Liang Zongyi spoke first.

"I think Brother Liang's analysis is reasonable, but we should first confirm whether Mr. Yu is really in their hands. In addition, the Jurchens are afraid that they will not be so stupid. I am afraid that they will return to Zhenjiang but still do not let Mr. go, and will not fulfill their promise until the reinforcements arrive. If that's the case, then our Zhenjiang City will really be lost. ”

It was Ma Dacheng who spoke. The night before yesterday, when he took more than 100 people to take advantage of the lack of defenders in Zhenjiang City, he pretended to be Yugege's escort to deceive the city gate and then entered the city and captured Zhenjiang. Ma Dacheng's meaning is obvious, he doesn't want to use Zhenjiang City to take this risk.

Although Ma Dacheng is only a hundred households, he is a representative of officers and soldiers. At present, nearly half of the troops here in Zhenjiang are officers and soldiers. In Yu Ren's absence, Ma Dacheng naturally became the representative of the half of the officers and soldiers. Therefore, Liang Zongyi frowned as soon as he heard Ma Dacheng's words.

Zhu Yueyue listened to the discussion here, but she didn't come up with a feasible solution, so she couldn't help but get anxious. "What's the use of talking here. It's better to go and see Xianggong first. Let's see what the Jurchens are reflecting, and then let's act according to their requirements! ”

Liang Zongyi thought for a moment and nodded, "It's the only way to do it first." ”

Everyone hugged "Mao Wenlong" and came to the outside of the city, and saw that Yang Gutai was still waiting under the city, Ma Dacheng shouted first, "That Jurchen, you said that General Yu is in your hands, where is the person?" Let's take a look! ”

Yanggutai raised his head and said to the city, "I know that you will not give up." With that, Yangutai put his hand into his mouth and let out a scream. Yuqi'er, who was hiding in the dense forest not far away, heard the howling sound, so she took Yu Ren to the city with her horse.

She knew she had guessed correctly. This Mao Wenlong must have a great relationship with Yu Ren. It seems that as long as Yu Ren is in hand, it will be easy to recapture Zhenjiang City. However, Yuqi'er did not plan to return Zhenjiang City immediately. Because they have too few people at hand, even if they exchange Zhenjiang City with Yu Ren, they still can't hold it. Liang Zongyi thought of this, and she also thought of it.

With Yu Ren as a heavyweight in her hands, Yu Qi'er felt that Zhenjiang City was no longer important. That's why she still wants to take Yu Ren to the city, but she just wants Yu Ren to see how she exposed his lies.

Yuqi'er brought the miserable Yu Ren who was "tortured" to the city. When everyone saw that it was really Yu Ren, their hearts couldn't help but feel relieved. Yu Ren disappeared before, although they were probably sure that he was captured by the Jurchens, but his life and death were uncertain, and although he became a prisoner at this time, at least everyone knew that he was still alive.

Yu Ren was already the soul of the place at this time, the backbone of everyone, and if he died, they really didn't know what to do next.

As soon as Zhu Yueyue saw Yu Ren's "miserable" appearance, she couldn't help but feel a nameless anger in her heart. Especially when she saw Yu Qi'er holding Yu Ren's neck with a knife, she almost couldn't resist rushing down the city with her sword.

Ruolan on the side also sensed Zhu Yueyue's murderous aura, and quickly quietly pulled her back a few steps, and whispered, "Don't be angry, princess, Mr. is still in their hands right now, we must not provoke them, so as not to hurt Mr." Let's exchange the city for Mr. first, and then slowly clean up that Jurchen Gege. Ruolan is a smart person, and she has been with Zhu Yueyue for a long time, and she is deliberately attentive, so she has a clear understanding of Zhu Yueyue's temper.

Zhu Yueyue listened to Ruolan's advice, and then forced the anger in her heart and stood behind everyone.

And Yu Qi'er under the city had a sense at this time. She felt the "Long Yuan" in her hand tremble gently in the sheath, and let out a low sound. Although Yuqi'er didn't know the origin of this sword, she knew that it was a divine sword.

Such an artifact will be in touch with the owner's heart. Since this sword is low, it means that its owner is not far away at this time, and he has obviously moved to kill himself, only the master's murderous aura can trigger the sword to roar, Yu Qi'er has heard people talk about it before.

Yuqi'er is a smart person, and she knows that she is no match for this mysterious person. If you don't leave, I'm afraid you'll lose your life. So, without waiting for everyone in the city to say more, Yuqi'er decisively shouted to the city, "Give you a day, and I will bring someone to collect the city tomorrow." If you haven't withdrawn from Zhenjiang by then, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

As she spoke, Yu Qi'er deliberately moved the knife a few inches closer to Yu Ren's neck.

"Good. Then it's decided, tomorrow, we will hand over the city with one hand and the other. Under the instruction of Liang Zongyi, Mao Fugui replied loudly to the city.

Yuqi'er didn't wait for Mao Fugui's words to finish, turned the horse's head and rushed to the place where she came.

When she came to the forest where everyone under her command gathered, Yuqi'er summoned Yang Gutai to her side, asked him to find a subordinate with a similar figure to herself to pretend to be herself, and found someone to pretend to be Yu Ren, and deliberately left her own mount to them. Then she changed Yu Renhe into the clothes of a peasant stolen from the Han village, mounted a mule, and made a big circle towards the east of Zhenjiang.

Yu Ren had been silently watching Yuqi'er do all this, until Yuqi'er took him to ride a mule alone to the east, and then he let out a sigh. "It is said that we Han people are treacherous, and I think Yugege is better than us Han people!"

Yu Qi'er smiled lightly, "I don't understand what my brother-in-law said. You've been cheating me all along, how can you say I'm treacherous now! ”
