Chapter 289 Exchange
Unlike Da Zhou, as a country with vast and fertile grasslands, royal family members such as Wuye have private horse farms of considerable scale, and the seven hundred war horses are from his own horse farm, so there is no need to wait too long. The two sides made a smooth handover.
After , it is the exchange of prisoners.
The place where the prisoners were exchanged was set at ten miles outside the city. On that day, the snow was blowing, and the cold wind was howling. As agreed, the two sides dispatched more than 100 people, all of whom wore soft armor and rode war horses. The atmosphere was very tense.
The Qi army's side was the four Zhou generals who were **** with five flowers. Because the time when they were captured was before they left, everyone didn't look very good. Obviously, they suffered a lot at the hands of the Qi people.
The young man on Zhou Jun's side, who was controlled from left and right, looked much better. It was General Wuye's nephew, Shuli.
Wu Ye didn't show up today, King Jing and General Xu on the Dazhou side were not present either.
The Northern Qi deputy general saw that the situation was good, he was relieved, and shouted: "Zhou Thief, hurry up and release our general."
Vice Admiral Da Zhou, not to be outdone, scolded: "Qigou, let go of my brothers!"
The next thing is a slapstick battle without skill, referred to as scolding the street. When the scolding is tired, the exchange of prisoners finally begins.
Li was pushed to the middle of the distance between the two armies, and Vice-General Da Zhou shouted: "Let two of our men come over first!"
"Why? Put them together!"
Vice Admiral Da Zhou sneered: "We have four people in your hands. If we put them together, what if you just deduct the next one?"
Northern Qi lieutenant jumped his feet: "Do you think we like to use shady tricks like you Zhou people?"
Vice Admiral Da Zhou was also angry: "Bah, who did the trick? It's you who repeatedly invaded the border, burned, killed and looted, you are the thieves! It's okay if you don't want to, the big deal is not to change, anyway, we have already 700 horses. Got it."
"You—" The Northern Qi lieutenant turned black with anger, but he could do nothing with the other party's sloppy skin.
Yes, all seven hundred war horses have fallen into the hands of the thief Zhou. If he hadn't exchanged General Zoli back, wouldn't it be a blood loss!
I heard that only 500 horses were needed at the beginning...
The Northern Qi lieutenant gritted his teeth and waved his hand.
The two generals of Zhou were pushed and immediately rushed towards their own camp. Because his hands were tied and his balance was not good, one of them also fell, and the people on Da Zhou's side were shocked and sweated.
When they ran back, they were immediately untied by their comrades and pulled behind them.
In the middle of the road, only Shuli and two Zhou generals were left.
After another tug, the two sides unanimously decided to count to three and let them go together.
"one two Three--"
The two sides stared at each other with wide eyes and no one moved. The scene was extremely embarrassing for a while.
"Just say you thieves are cunning!"
"You guys are shameless!"
In the end, they finally let out a roar, and the two sides finally released their control over the hostages, staring at them without blinking.
Li, that is, Qi Shuo, who had changed his appearance, passed by the two Zhou generals, and walked very cautiously step by step, and then let go of his pace and flew towards the Qi army.
As soon as he was supported, he almost fell down on his feet, and said two words with a white face: "Back to camp..."
The Northern Qi lieutenant originally wanted to do something small while exchanging hostages, but seeing Qi Shuo like this, he had to let go of his plans and return to the camp quickly.
After all, the most important thing is to bring back General Shuli smoothly, not to lose the big because of the small.
Da Zhou was the one who made the blood, and he was wholeheartedly guarding against Qi people doing things, and he had no idea of taking the initiative to toss. Seeing that the Qi army was about to retire, he was overjoyed to bring the four Zhou generals back to the city.
General Xu paced back and forth in the hall, thinking about the exchange of prisoners.
"General Xu, can you sit down, it makes me dizzy."
Looking at the dark-faced King Jing, General Xu smiled bitterly: "It's still the prince who can keep his temper, I'm always afraid that the other party will cheat when exchanging hostages."
According to the agreement, the number of people sent by both sides is similar. But I have to admit that in terms of individual combat capability, Qi people are much stronger than Zhou people.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." King Jing said angrily.
Li was faked by Shuo'er, it would be **** if Da Zhou suffered from such a favorable position.
General Xu laughed dryly, thinking that King Jing is also strange. These days he always pulls a face, as if something bad happened.
Ness——Do you think there are too few 700 horses?
This... greedy!
After waiting for the four generals of Zhou to be brought into the hall, General Xu was completely relieved and said, "Just come back, just come back."
King Jing couldn't help but ask: "That Shuli... returned to Qi Jun?"
The lieutenant who brought the four back to life said with a disdainful smile: "Go back, that dog is so scared that he can't stand still, only one soft-footed shrimp."
The others laughed too.
King Jing's face sank: "How can you say that!"
Who is the dog thing!
Meeting everyone's surprised eyes, King Jing coughed lightly, "That's the lucky star who brought us seven hundred war horses, so be polite."
"Seven, seven hundred horses?" The four Zhou generals who were brought back were stunned, forgetting the torture they had suffered for the past few days.
The others laughed: "Your Highness is right, you should be more polite."
"The four of you are suffering, go and rest quickly." King Jing sighed in his heart and walked out with his hands behind his back.
General Xu looked at King Jing's back thoughtfully.
Why does King Jing look a little lonely?
Compared to General Xu's anxiety when he was waiting, Wuye was even more anxious. Hearing that the person who went to exchange prisoners of war had returned, he walked out of the camp directly.
"Shouli!" As soon as Wu Ye saw his nephew, he strode over and hugged him tightly.
Qi Shuo tensed up, and called out uncle with no strange expression on his face.
Wu Ye spoke the language of the nobles of Northern Qi, and so did Qi Shuo. Those lower-level soldiers who communicated with Da Zhou could not understand it at all. It can be said that being proficient in this language is the hallmark of the Northern Qi nobility.
"Your hand—" Wu Ye grabbed Qi Shuo's one hand, saw that there were a lot of five fingers, and then grabbed the other hand, his face flushed with anger after a brief surprise, "Damn Zhou Ren, he actually cheated !"
In fact, this threat method is not very clever, and Wu Ye actually knows it in his heart, but if he cares about it, it will be messed up.
After getting angry, he noticed the abnormal voice of his nephew: "Did they torture you?"
Qi Shuo's voice was hoarse, and it sounded uncomfortable: "I haven't slept much for a few days, that's all..."
Wuye patted him on the shoulder: "I have suffered. Tomorrow, my uncle will ask them to settle accounts, and give you a good breath!"
Qi Shuo's heart skipped a beat.
Is there going to be a war tomorrow?
Soon Qi Shuo was urged by Wu Ye to rest, and he did not dare to go out at night to avoid suspicion. After all, a person who has been in the hands of the enemy for a while should not have the energy to wander around until he comes back.
He simply took a good night's sleep, got dressed up early in the morning, and went to the Wuye tent.
