Chapter 1372 1048. Exchange for hostages

Honghan, the general manager of Yuanjing Southwest Road, stood in the middle of the city.

He was about fifty years old and was born in Kaifeng Prefecture. He grew up under the rule of the Jin Dynasty when he was young. Later, he destroyed Jin in Yuan Dynasty, and he became an official in the court.

He could not think that he was a Song Dynasty native.

Looking at the Jiangling Prefecture Garage Army, which was wearing the Jiangling Prefecture flag and the Lu-word banner outside the city, the two military horses of Lu Wenhuan's old subordinates, Hong Hanmo had anger in his eyes.

For him, whether it was the dead Lu Wenhuan or the Lu Yuwen who led his army to the city at this time, they were all traitors.

"Prepare for war!"

Looking at the fierce army below, Hong Hanmo shouted loudly.

The defenders in Xiangyang Prefecture quickly placed the sky-bombing thunder in the nest of the cannon chariot.

They are both Honghanmo's direct descendants, and they are also the people Kublai Khan used to restrain Lü Wenhuan.

Even when the whole country gathered troops to spread the Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan did not recruit the defenders of Xiangyang Prefecture under Honghanmo's control.

Under the city, Lu Yuwen took a quick look forward.

There were dozens of grenade launchers in the Jiangling Prefecture garrison, carrying grenade launchers and carrying guns on the spot.

Lu Yuwen looked up at Honghanmo, and the sun stung him slightly narrowed his eyes.

He shouted, "Honghanmo, quickly release my adopted father and all the soldiers in the army from the city!"

As his voice fell, Yelu Zhu was also taken forward by his personal soldiers. At this time, Yelu Zhu's head was emitting a hair, his face was covered with dust, and he was extremely embarrassed.

As the dignified Zuo Cheng of the Yuan Dynasty, Yelu Zhu is afraid that he has never been so embarrassed in his life.

Hong Hanmo's face suddenly became even more ugly.

He had met Yelu Zhu.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuwen not only brought the Song army to the front, but even Yelu Zhu brought it.

This made him very passive in his situation. Lu Yuwen had Yelu Zhu in his hand, which was enough to make him afraid of the situation, because Yelu Zhu's status in the Yuan Dynasty was too high.

"Come on."

Hong Hanmo waved his hand to the back.

A soldier led more than ten people to the side of the battlement, which was Lu Wenhuan's family.

Lu Yuwen's eyes immediately showed a look of nervousness and shouted: "Grandma, mother!"

There is an old woman with silver hair, who is Lu Wenhuan's mother.

Her eyes fell on Lu Yuwen's head. Perhaps because of her old age, her eyes were a little bad, so her eyes looked less bright.

She shouted to Lu Yuwen: "Yuwen, your father sacrificed his life for the country and died! You don't have to worry about your health and send troops to capture Xiangyang City immediately!"

Hong Hanmo just sneered.

He has been an official in Xiangyang Prefecture for many years and has restricted Lu Wenhuan everywhere. He has not only understood Lu Wenhuan. He is also deeply in his heart.

With Lu Wenhuan's family members in hand, he was not worried that Lu Yuwen would dare to bombard Xiangyang City.

Sure enough, Lu Yuwen's eyes were red below, but there was no sign of ordering bombardment.

He just looked at Honghanmo again and shouted, "Honghanmo, let our family go out of the city immediately! Otherwise, I will kill Yelu Zhu immediately!"

Hong Hanmo sneered, "Nephew Lu Yuwen, how can I know if you will attack Xiangyang Mansion immediately after you exchange your family?"

Lu Yuwen said: "If you let our family go out of the city, I will lead the army away immediately!"

Hong Hanmo still just sneered, "Big nephew, do you think I will easily believe your words?"

Lu Yuwen was slightly angry, "What else do you want? Are you planning to ignore Yelu Zhu's life and death?"

He shouted, and he turned his head to look at Yelu Zhu, saying, "Let Honghanmo release our family out of the city!"

But Yelu Zhu did not respond at all.

As an important official around Kublai Khan, he has no shortage of backbone and loyalty.

Perhaps from the moment he was defeated and captured, he had already made plans to die on the frontier.

His reaction also made Hong Hanmo, who was on the city, breathe a light sigh. If Yelu Zhuzhen ordered him to release Lu Wenhuan and the families of the generals in the army out of the city, it would be difficult for him to do so.

Hong Hanmo stared at Lu Yuwen and said, "Lu Yuwen, if you want to exchange your family for Lord Zuo Cheng, I can agree. However, to ensure the safety of Xiangyang City, I need you to enter the city. I can also guarantee that when your army withdraws from the southwest road of Jingxi, I will release you out of the city immediately!"

Lu Yuwen frowned and spoke without saying a word.

If it weren't for Lu Wenhuan, there wouldn't be the current Lu Yuwen. In order to save Lu Wenhuan's family, Lu Yuwen would be willing to sacrifice his life.

What's more, Hong Hanmo just let him enter the city for quality.

He also knew something about Honghanmo. He was very cunning, but he was not very brave.

When he entered the city, Hong Hanmo probably didn't dare to do anything to himself. Because Hong Hanmo probably did not have the confidence to go to war with the Song army.

Guan Qiluo, the commander of the garrison army of Jiangling Prefecture, heard Hong Hanmo's words, but couldn't help but feel anxious. He patted Lu Yuwen and whispered: "General Lu, don't agree to him!"

He didn't have the idea of ​​taking down Xiangyang Mansion, he was just worried about Lu Yuwen's safety.

Although the two have known each other for a short time, they are quite compatible with their temperament and are now considered good friends.

Lu Yuwen smiled bitterly, "The adoptive father treats Yuwen like a parent and child, and he has raised me so far. How can Yuwen ignore his compassionate father?"

After saying that, he looked up at Hong Hanmo and shouted, "Okay! I promise you!"

Then he turned over and dismounted, threw away the spear in his hand, and resolutely walked towards the gate of Xiangyang Prefecture.

"General Lu!"

"General Lu!"

Countless soldiers in the army shouted.

Lu Yuwen was just unmoved.

He looked back and showed an indescribable smile to the soldiers.

A creaking sound.

Under Honghanmo's order, the suspension bridge at the city end was slowly lowered.

Lu Yuwen only put on the suspension bridge, walked through the corridor, and entered the city.

As soon as he entered the city, he was tied up by the defenders in the city and then led to the top of the city, near Honghanmo.

Mrs. Lu shed tears and said, "Yu Wen, why are you doing this..."

The other people in the Lu family also had complex expressions in their eyes, either guilt or gratitude.

In fact, Lu Yuwen can completely ignore their life and death. In the face of the great righteousness of the country, no one would say gossip about Lu Yuwen.

But Lu Yuwen was willing to come into the city.

"grandmother."

He just called out to Mrs. Lu, and stopped talking. He turned to look at Hong Hanmo.

Hong Hanmo also looked at him and said, "My eldest nephew is really a man! I admire him!"

Lu Yuwen was too lazy to talk to him and said coldly: "Let my adopted father and the families of all the generals in the army leave the city."

"well."

Hong Hanmo chuckled softly, waved his hand, "Let him go."

With Lu Yuwen on the top of the city, he was really not worried that the Song army and those old subordinates of Lu Wenhuan would attack the city. As Lu Yuwen, as the adopted son of Lu Wenhuan, had a high status in the army.

The defenders of Xiangyang Prefecture untied the ropes on Mrs. Lu and others.

"Yuwen..."

Mrs. Lu shouted again.

Lu Yuwen smiled a little and said, "Grandma, hurry up and go down the city! Following the army to Jiangling Mansion, Yuwen will come to find you later."

Lu Wenhuan's wife mixed with Mrs. Lu, "Mother, let's go down to the city..."

She swept over Honghanmo hatefully, which was a warning.

Only Honghanshi was not concerned about it.

The members of the Lu family came to the city wall and repeatedly looked back to Lu Yuwen.

Lu Yuwen always had a smile on his face.

When we arrived at the city, there were families of many generals in the army. We were at a loss, but when we saw the members of the Lu family coming down, we finally breathed a relaxed tone.

The soldiers who were escorting them also let them go.

Everyone walked into the corridor and headed out of the city gate.

Qiluo looked up at the city entrance with a slight anger on his face.

A general in the army rushed forward.
