Chapter 55: Hostage Exchange
The main entrance of Yuan Shu's mansion.
When Wang Wei, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and others walked out of the door, they found that the defense line at the door was still in their own hands......
No, that's not a good idea.
Because of the soldiers stationed inside and outside the gate, there are only about 100 people left.
The ground was covered with blood and corpses - the battle here was unusually tragic.
When he looked at the faces of these soldiers, Wang Wei's bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger—a frightened look in his eyes, a look of fear and fear......
In fact, the soldiers who are responsible for staying here are themselves strong soldiers! They weren't supposed to have that on their faces. However, when Wang Wei and the others looked out of the door, they immediately discovered the root of everything.
Outside the gate, more enemy soldiers lined up in formation, but did not attack. And the leader, who is not Liu Wei?
At this moment, Daoist Yu and Yuen Long were following Liu Bian, and not only that, there were two other people kneeling in front of Liu Bian.
Chen Gong and Xiahou Yuan......
Wang Weiden was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Liu Wei looking at him with a smile, he said softly.
"Yuxi, what about General Guan and General Sun?"
As soon as the words came out, the faces of Wang Wei and the others suddenly became gloomy.
……
A young general next to him stepped forward and explained everything that had just happened to Wang Wei and the others.
"Originally, this place was guarded by General Dian, the two Xiahou generals, General Xu, General Xu Huang, General Zhang Liao and others, but General Dian left first, General Xu also left, but Mr. Chen Gong came back to maintain the overall situation."
This is the personnel transfer just now - at this moment, Dian Wei and Xu Chu are standing beside Wang Wei.
"Then the enemy began to attack, and we are not opponents."
The young general's face was full of relatives, obviously frightened by the offensive of Liu Wei and others just now.
"When the situation was not good, General Xu Huang and General Zhang Liao discussed it, and decided to take the lead in breaking through and uniting more soldiers and horses to come back, while Mr. Chen and General Xiahou Yuan took on the heavy responsibility of defending the main gate."
Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and even Xiahoudun didn't mean to escape from the battle—how many of their own soldiers were scattered all over the city? Seeing that their own defeat here was decided, it was reasonable for Xu Huang and Zhang Liao to take the initiative to withdraw in order to change.
But the main gate can't be defended - otherwise, Wang Wei and the other three lords will inevitably suffer a catastrophe, and Chen Gong and Xiahou Yuan will take on this task.
They led the inferior soldiers and horses to defend the main gate.
And then there is the current result.
The decision of Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Xiahou Yuan and others, and the decision of Chen Gong and Xiahou Yuan, there is no right or wrong at all, or this kind of division of troops may be the best solution to the situation just now - there is no way, after all, there is still a disadvantage on the other side.
But Chen Gong Xiahou Yuan was captured, and to be honest, this did disrupt Wang Wei's plan.
Looking at Chen Gong Xiahou Yuan who was kneeling in front of Liu Wei, Wang Wei couldn't help but sigh, he hooked his fingers, and Xu Huang brought Guan Hai and Sun Ce over.
Two groups, four prisoners......
It looks pretty balanced.
Until Wang Wei took out the fake jade seal from his arms again.
"Let's exchange, I'll exchange Chen Gong and Xiahou Yuan for the jade seal and the two generals under my command."
Liu Wei played this abacus shrewdly, and Wang Wei had to give a jade seal......
If Wang Wei can call the shots, he will definitely not choose to exchange...... But unfortunately, Wang Wei can't be the master in this situation now.
Because Chen Gong is Lu Bu's person, Xiahou Yuan is Cao Cao's person.
How to deal with this matter, the two of them have to speak.
Thinking like this, Wang Wei turned his head to look at Cao Cao and Lu Bu.
But seeing that Lu Bu didn't say a word, he nodded directly!
"Changed!"
He's just that!
And Lao Cao didn't say a word, just looked at Wang Wei until Wang Wei spoke again.
"If it is changed, then we are still turtles in the urn, and we are blocked in Yuan Shu's house and cannot advance or retreat...... To be honest, my original intention was to use Yuxi and Guan Hai Sun Ce to blackmail Liu Wei and ask him to open a way for us. Now, if we change, our retreat will be gone! ”
That's the truth!
Although just now in the Yuan Shu court, everyone can be regarded as a victory, but there is no point in looking at the part of the war-if you can't win, you can't win, and the disadvantage is the disadvantage, originally after a small victory, Wang Wei and others found an opportunity to leave, but now that Chen Gong and Xiahou Yuan were captured, it disrupted the slightly better situation.
Cao Cao on the side said abruptly.
General Wang said this...... Reasonable! ”
He doesn't want to change!
That's right, Lao Cao also saw the current situation - if it was changed, he rescued Xiahou Yuan, but it was very likely that he would be buried here! For the sake of a subordinate general, he put his own life into it......
It's not worth it......
I have to say that Lao Cao can still be ruthless, and when he looks at Xiahou Yuan again, Lao Cao's eyes are calm, and he can't see any joy or anger at all.
But Lu Bu shook his head.
"It must be changed!"
"I can't leave Chen Gong!"
"If Chen Gong dies, I will die sooner or later! It makes no difference to me that I die early or later! If the two of you really make up your mind not to change, then don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people! ”
Lu Bu's voice was very low, but the determination inside was obvious!
He is very self-aware.
On the one hand, Chen Gong is Lu Bu's external brain, without Chen Gong, with Lu Bu's brain, it is likely that Wang Wei and Cao Cao will be playing with immortals, and if they are sold, they will have to help others count the money!
On the other hand, Lu Bu also has his own bargaining chips - his force!
Guan Hai Sun Ce's strength improvement itself is abnormal, no matter how stupid Lu Bu is, it can be seen that Guan Hai Sun Ce's improvement in force has a great relationship with Liu Wei, in terms of basic strength, Lu Bu is still the first in the world.
Then something interesting happened.
If you defect to Liu Wei...... How high can you reach?
If Wang Wei and Cao Cao didn't choose to exchange hostages, Liu Wei would have lost the two generals, but at this time, he mentioned it himself-don't kill Chen Gong, I will mess with you in the future! How do you say Liu Wei will choose?
That's right, that's the truth, of course, if it's not necessary, Lu Bu doesn't want to mess with Liu. But now that things are deadlocked, Lu Bu has to plan for the worst!
Cao Cao and Wang Wei understood what Lu Bu meant as soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, and the two looked at each other until a flash of spiritual light flashed through Wang Wei's mind.
"Actually, it's not impossible to change hostages."
After speaking, Wang Wei ignored Cao Cao, and instead looked at Lu Bu with burning eyes.
"But how to deal with the next situation after the change, this is a difficult problem. However, I also have a solution to this problem. ”
"How?"
Lu Bu and Cao Cao all looked sideways, but saw Wang Wei smiling leisurely.
"This is up to Feng Xian to answer or not."
