Wu Shu and the others simply took a few mouthfuls of dry food and prepared to continue on their way. If they return to Bianliang City one day earlier, they can avenge the Jurchen warriors one day earlier!
However, before Wu Shu could mount his horse, a soldier ran over in a panic: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, there are... there are many Wu Dynasty cavalry outside!"
"What?"
Wu Shu was startled, and quickly followed the soldiers to the edge of the woods. When he looked out through the gap between the trees, he immediately took a breath of cold air.
A few hundred meters away from the woods, there were groups of Wu Dynasty cavalry. These cavalry seemed to be resting, but in fact they were all paying attention to the movements in the woods.
It's over, I'm surrounded!
Wu Shu looked around the woods and found that there were cavalry all around.
Although there was only one team of cavalry in each wave, and there were only about ten teams in total around the woods, seeing each cavalry holding a crossbow in their hands, Wu Shu knew that it was impossible for him to run out.
Using the crossbow to shoot these big living people who have thrown away all their armor must be accurate with every shot, without any compromise.
So Wushu surrendered.
Just kidding, why did the dignified Fourth Jurchen Prince die in battle like an ordinary soldier?
I believe that as long as a small ransom is paid, the Wu Dynasty people can let him go.
If done correctly, there may not even be a need to pay a ransom.
How could the Wu Dynasty army refuse to obey the imperial edict?
The Emperor of the Wu Dynasty had become a prisoner of the Jurchens, so he could just issue an imperial edict and order the Wu Dynasty army to let him go.
Wu Shu had no psychological burden. He understood the virtues of the officials of the Wu Dynasty. As long as they were beneficial, one would run faster than the other.
He promised to let the Emperor of Wu Dynasty promote the officer who intercepted him. If he didn't believe it, he wouldn't let him go.
Don't tell me, Wu Shu guessed it right.
After knowing that he was the fourth prince of the Jurchens, Li Xing really didn't kill him.
As for Wu Shu's suggestion that the Emperor of Wu Dynasty reward a high official, Li Xing didn't care at all, but he was somewhat interested in the ransom Wu Shu said.
In Li Xing's view, Wu Shu was only slightly stronger than ordinary bandits, but his strength was limited. Even if he was let go, he would not pose the slightest threat to the Yun family army.
On the contrary, if he can be exchanged for a large ransom, it seems to be more beneficial to the Yun family army.
Li Xing wrote his thoughts in a letter and sent them to Yun Chao along with the battle report.
Yun Chao has not been idle during this period. He is cruising around Hebei with the remaining 40,000 Yun family troops to wipe out small groups of Jurchen troops.
Wu Shu and Li Xing were fighting in the north. Of course Yun Chao knew that he was leading an army of 40,000 to intercept Wu Shu.
In other words, even if Wu Shu ran away from Li Xing, he would not be able to break through the interception of the 40,000 Yun family troops in the south.
After receiving the letter, Yun Chao immediately decided to support Li Xing's idea.
In Yun Chao's view, any famous general of a generation is just a hero who made Shuzi famous.
Later, as soon as the unparalleled hero was born, the prototype of the little Wushu appeared.
Then again, which corner is that person hiding in now? Why hasn't he shown his head yet?
This world won’t be without that person, right?
"Ask Wu Shu to write a letter to his second brother and exchange five million taels of silver for his life!"
It doesn't matter if it's money or not, Yun Chao mainly wants to urge Zong Wang to return quickly.
One hundred thousand Yun family troops, plus the mobilized civilians, the cost of eating horse chews every day is not a small amount.
It's okay for a short period of time, but once the delay gets longer, the battle may be a loss.
Fighting, no matter ancient or modern, always costs money, and it still costs a lot of money.
Every war means huge financial expenditures. Without money, it is really impossible to fight a war.
Fortunately, in this war, the Yun family army recaptured the Daming Mansion and seized a large amount of property looted by the Jurchens. Otherwise, this battle would definitely cost money, and it would be a lot of money.
In addition, Yunchao is also eager to go back to develop industry and commerce. One hundred thousand troops are fighting outside, which is extremely detrimental to the development of industry and commerce on his own territory.
If the Wu Dynasty's army hadn't been strong enough, Yun Chao wouldn't have come out to cause trouble now if he was beaten to death.
Even so, Yun Chao returned to the territory controlled by the Yun Family Army with an army of 40,000 to rest and recuperate.
Wang Shitou's 30,000 troops were left to garrison in Daming Mansion.
Let Li Xing lead 30,000 troops to roam the vast area south of Daming Palace to conceal the true situation of Daming Palace.
In order to redeem their master as soon as possible, Wu Shu's soldiers rushed as hard as they could. Two of their horses were killed and they finally returned to Bianliang City!
"What?"
After receiving Wu Shu's handwritten letter, Zong Wang couldn't believe his eyes.
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"
How could the great Jurchen warriors be defeated at the hands of a bunch of stupid Wu Dynasty pigs, and be defeated so miserably that the whole army was almost wiped out?
It's a joke, it must be that guy from the fourth age making a joke.
"Tell me the truth, or I'll kill you!"
Wushu's soldiers were already fainting from exhaustion.
A ladle of cold water was splashed on his face and he woke up immediately.
As soon as he woke up, he was kicked hard by Zong Wang several times and fainted again.
This time, Zong Wang didn't dare to kick him anymore. After splashing cold water on him to wake him up again, he asked carefully what happened.
Even if you fail, you must be aware of it.
Knowing how Wu Shu was defeated, it would be better to prepare accordingly when facing the Wu Dynasty army.
Unexpectedly, not even a single hair came out.
The soldier who delivered the message was captured by the Yun family army before the war. Although he was said to be a soldier, he was actually a Jurchen scout.
Sending back a guy who had participated in the duel between the two armies was tantamount to endorsing the enemy. How could Li Xing make such a big mistake.
After asking for a long time, no useful information came out, and Zong Wang was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
"Trash! They're all fucking trash!"
I don’t know whether Zong Wang was scolding the scout who delivered the message, or whether he was scolding his fourth brother for being unscrupulous.
After being angry for a long time, Zong Wang calmed down.
Although Wu Shu's letters were strictly controlled and nothing was written except ransom, Zong Wang was not an ordinary person and he quickly thought of a way to deal with the Wu Dynasty army.
"Go, let the dog emperor of the Wu Dynasty do the next thing...forget it, let's write it ourselves, and in the tone of the emperor of the Wu Dynasty, order the Wu Dynasty army to release the fourth child!"
"yes!"
Use ransom to redeem Wu Shu?
Do not make jokes.
When had their eldest Jurchen ever done such a cowardly thing?
With the Emperor of the Wu Dynasty in his hands, Zong Wang was not that stupid to give money to a Wu Dynasty army for nothing if he wanted nothing!
So, a few days later, an "imperial edict" from the Emperor of the Wu Dynasty was delivered to Li Xing.
Holding the imperial edict and reading it over and over again for a long time, Yun Chao showed a meaningful smile.
"Come here, notify the people in the staff office to hold a meeting."
