"this……"

After hearing Wu Liang's straightforward order, everyone in the Hu army suddenly looked suspicious.

Putting aside the personal relationship between Wu Liang and Cheng Yu, now that Cheng Yu is still the negotiator of the pursuing troops, it would be a bit of a stretch to capture him directly...

"Don't worry, I will detain him and he will thank me later."

Wu Liang smiled nonchalantly.

"..."

When everyone in the Hu army heard this, they were even more confused and expressed that they did not understand what Wu Liang was talking about at all.

But an order is an order. Since Wu Liang has given the order, no matter how many doubts they have in their hearts, since they have chosen to follow Wu Liang, they must abide by it unconditionally.

"Wu Taichang, why are you doing this?"

While he was talking, Cheng Yu had already galloped forward on his horse, but before he could dismount, he was surrounded by the Hu army, and dozens of Warring States repeating crossbows almost hit him in the face.

"Huh? Wu Taichang, I didn't bring any weapons. I only came here to have a few words with you. Why do you treat me like this?"

Cheng Yu looked shocked and quickly revealed the empty scabbard on his waist and said.

"Stop talking nonsense and get off your horse!"

Yang Wanli had already stepped forward, grabbed the reins of Cheng Yu's horse, and shouted in a strong tone.

"dismount!"

More than a dozen soldiers of the Hu army rushed forward and pulled him off the horse. Then, completely ignoring Cheng Yu's age, they quickly tied him up with hemp ropes.

, carried it like a pig and brought it to Wu Liang.

"Wu Taichang..."

Cheng Yu felt like his head was buzzing at the moment, and he looked at Wu Liang in surprise.

"Prefect Cheng, since I have decided to lead my army to flee, I have already given up my title and official position. The Taichang just conferred by Ming Gong has nothing to do with me. The previous Taishi order has also been given up. From now on, there is no need to call me talented.

That’s it.”

Wu Liang stepped forward and patted the dust off Cheng Yu's body, then continued walking and said, "Now Governor Cheng has become my hostage. If you have anything to say, let's talk while walking. There's no rush."

"hostage?"

Cheng Yu was slightly startled.

"Why, I took Governor Cheng as a hostage. Isn't Governor Cheng happy?"

Wu Liang grinned and winked at him meaningfully.

Cheng Yu was stunned again, and the next moment he showed a look of realization, and smiled knowingly at Wu Liang. He obviously wanted to salute, but unfortunately he was tied up and couldn't lift his hands, so he could only nod and said: "This...

Thank you very much Wu Taichang, I never expected that Wu Taichang still regards me as an old friend until now."

"?"

When everyone in the Hu army saw this, they became more and more confused and couldn't help but secretly discuss:

"Hey... Young Master just said that he would take Cheng Yu as a hostage, and Cheng Yu had to thank him in turn. At that time, I thought Young Master was just joking, but Cheng Yu actually thanked Young Master. What's going on?"

"How do I know? Maybe Cheng Yu has some special hobbies that the young master knows about but we don't?"

"This hobby is quite special. People really cannot be judged by their appearance. I always thought Cheng Yu was a serious person..."

"Shut up!"

Yang Wanli heard these discussions and promptly stopped them.

The soldiers quickly shut their mouths, but after a while they still couldn't restrain their curiosity. They leaned close to Yang Wanli and asked in a low voice: "Colonel Yang, brothers, I still can't figure it out. You have to know why Cheng Yu wants to thank Young Master.

Can you tell me about it to your brothers?"

"Isn't this simple?"

Yang Wanli glanced at a few people and snorted coldly, "Cheng Yu has always had a personal relationship with the young master. Not only do we know about this, but Ming Gong also knows everything about it. Now that the young master has led us to escape, Cheng Yu came late and didn't say anything.

If he came to persuade the young master to no avail, Ming Gong would inevitably suspect him of being indulgent for personal gain, and he might not use him again in the future. But the young master kidnapped Cheng Yu as a hostage in front of the second young master and Cao Chun, which was tantamount to being cleared.

Even Ming Gong can't say anything about his suspicion of laissez-faire, so his official career will not be affected by this matter. Do you think he wants to thank you?"

"I see……"

Several soldiers of the Hu army suddenly became enlightened and exclaimed repeatedly, "High, really high! No wonder the young master can be promoted from a slave to a high-ranking nine ministers in just a few years. Not to mention being granted the title of marquis and general, Duke Ming is still willing to do so."

Marrying your daughter off is all knowledge, and I can't learn it. This is really a university knowledge that I won't be able to learn in my lifetime."

"Young master, there are many clever things, but you just can't realize them."

Yang Wanli patted several people on the shoulders and looked at Wu Liang with eyes full of respect.

…

The other side.

"Uncle Zihe, look at this..."

From a distance, he saw the Hu soldiers roughly pulling Cheng Yu off his horse, tying him into a rice dumpling with hemp rope and taking him to Wu Liang. Cao Pi was shocked and angry, and couldn't help but look at Cao Chun beside him.

"The two armies were fighting without killing the envoy, but Wu Youcai directly tied up Governor Cheng. He made it clear that he did not intend to look back!"

"..."

At this moment, Cao Chun was also a little dumbfounded.

Originally, he thought that even if Cheng Yu couldn't persuade Wu Liang, he could at least shake Wu Liang's mind a little through lobbying, and then come back to convey the news to them so that they would be aware of it and help them think of new responses.

Of the policy.

As a result, Wu Liang kidnapped the person without saying a word, which seemed to be a bit of a "severance of friendship".

In this situation, what can he do?

Full pursuit?

Once the pursuit is tight, Wu Liang's next round of thunder may not land more than ten feet in front of them. He cannot afford such losses, let alone take risks easily.

But it won’t work if you don’t chase...

This matter is not just a matter for Cao Pi alone. Cao Pi is just a teenager. Boss Cao ordered him to handle this matter more because of experience. If something really goes wrong, his uncle who is "assisting" at the side will

He is the main responsible person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has unshirkable responsibility.

This is really a dilemma...

"Uncle Zihe, Wu Youcai and the Hu army are still marching. If we leave them alone, they will go far away."

Seeing that Cao Chun had a complicated expression and did not respond, Cao Pi said a little impatiently.

"We can only keep our distance and follow them for the time being. We can't lose them no matter what."

Cao Chun finally said helplessly, "After your father learned that Wu Youcai had returned to Chenliu, he sent a message back ordering us to stand still. He would handle the matter personally. Two hours ago, I ordered Wu Youcai, the flying slave general, to lead the Hu army.

The news of the escape has been sent out, and now your father must have received the news a long time ago and will definitely respond as soon as possible. It is best for us to wait for his news, lest we take unauthorized actions and lose troops, and ruin your father's plan again."

"But Ziheshu, if the Han army moves forward, it will have to leave Chenliu County. In the next few days, it will cross Yingchuan County and enter Nanyang, Jingzhou. That place is no longer as peaceful as Chenliu and Yingchuan.

, it will only become more difficult to deal with!"

Cao Pi's face was still full of worry and he said anxiously.

"indeed so."

Cao Chun muttered, "So the most we can do is follow the Hu troops until they enter Nanyang, Jingzhou. If there is no news from your father by then, and Wu Youcai doesn't plan to turn back, we can no longer just follow, at all costs."

The price must be taken to stop it!"

…

"Prefect Cheng, there is no need to be careless today. Do you have any useful information for me?"

Wu Liang brought Cheng Yu into the crowd, and after avoiding the eyes and ears of Cao Pi and Cao Chun, he ordered someone to loosen his bonds, and walked side by side and asked.

"You are a talented and wise brother, do you really not want to look back? In fact, you should know that Duke Ming has no intention of dealing with you. He is reluctant to let you go."

Cheng Yu still asked the same question, and then added, "Actually, I can't bear to leave you. You are the most interesting person I have ever seen in my life. If you leave, Chen Liu will be just a piece of cake to me."

It’s a city.”

"I can't bear to leave these brothers under my command. When Mr. Ming came up with this idea, I couldn't look back."

Wu Liang smiled.

"In that case, I won't say any more."

Cheng Yu sighed and said, "You suddenly returned to Chenliu. The second young master and General Cao used flying slaves to inform Duke Ming that day... I also did the same thing. I'm looking for something in my position. If you are talented, you can do it."

I should be able to understand."

"Then will you receive a reply from Mr. Ming?"

Wu Liang nodded and then asked.

"Ming Gong replied to me and ordered me to pay attention to you and the second young master at the same time, to mediate when necessary, to ensure that no trouble occurs, especially to avoid conflicts."
