    "Since I have said so much, please stop by and send me a message to the Jurchens!"

    To everyone¡¯s surprise, Cheng Ju, who took the initiative to order the release, did not show any kindness, but showed sincerity in his tone.

    And this is just one of the strange things.  Another strange thing is that the leader of the captives did not show the gratitude he should have after escaping from death at this moment. He just looked at Cheng Ju quietly, and after a long while, he said: "Do you want to take the lives of all my brothers?"  , in exchange for your life?¡±

    Cheng Ju smiled when he heard this, so calmly and heartily.  Amidst the laughter, the prisoner just waited quietly without any unnecessary action. He guessed that he might have underestimated him just now. As expected, Cheng Ju stopped laughing and made a condition: "You are half right, I am indeed  I want to make a deal with the Jurchens with your lives, but not for my life, but for the lives of the people in this city!"

    This time it was the prisoner who laughed, so sarcastically.  Cheng Ju didn't say anything, just looked at the other party patiently, and finally waited until the leader of the captives told him the reason for his laughter: "The total number of our captured brothers is only a few hundred. There are tens of thousands of people in this city, are you not?"  Do you think the Jurchens are all born in caves, and there is no one there who knows how to count? "

    "They will agree!" Cheng Ju said in a deep voice, "If he lets go of one more person, he will have one less enemy. If he insists on refusing to change people, there will only be two results. One is that everyone here will  They are dead soldiers! Secondly, his Han troops are disloyal! If they are really uncivilized and don¡¯t understand anything, please wake them up!¡±

    The captive leader¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. Although this man looked like a scholar, he was actually a master of conspiracy!  It's just that he was unwilling to agree so easily, but asked: "Why should I help you?"

    ¡°He¡¯s not talking big words.  The Jurchens were about to break the city. Even if Cheng Ju refused to let go, he could still wait until his own people arrived.

    "You are wrong. I am helping you!" It was only then that Cheng Ju looked directly at the other party's "provocation".  "The two armies fought to the death for seven days. How many casualties did you have and how many casualties we suffered? Look at the Koreans standing above and below the city. How many of them have never lost their relatives or comrades? If you can't prove your worth,  You will definitely die before the city is destroyed. Don¡¯t take any chances. This has nothing to do with whether I give the order or not!¡±

    Cheng Ju's tough attitude once made the prisoner feel like he was a different person before him, but Cheng Ju's next words directly touched his heart: "This deal. Maybe I, the county magistrate who was on the front line, expressed my feelings towards the country."  The last confession the nation can make. For you, it is for the nation. Even if you are gone for a long time, it is for the country.  I just hope that after you survive this catastrophe, you will not sacrifice your life for Hu Lu again!"

    Hearing what Cheng Ju was saying, the prisoner leader couldn't speak for a long time and unconsciously looked west in the direction of Yanjing.  After a while, he said: "Which dead man is willing to sacrifice his life for Hu Lu!"

    Hearing this, Cheng Ju sighed secretly. He understood that from the perspective of the Song Dynasty court, it was impossible to make great efforts to rescue the northern Han people who were in danger of returning home like the opposite. Cheng Ju once again felt his  Being so small and powerless, I could only suppress the regret in my heart at this time, clasping my fists and saying, "See you soon!"

    The leader of the captives is a sensible man.  At this time, he didn't say anything, he just bowed to Cheng Ju.  Then he said goodbye and left.  Just as the two were passing each other, Cheng Ju suddenly turned around and asked, "I haven't heard your name yet!"

    "When you become a human again in the future, you will tell your husband!" The prisoner only paused for a moment, but did not look back. After speaking, he strode away again.  But when Cheng Ju looked at his staggering back, he felt an indescribable feeling of desolation and loneliness.

    The country has no principles, and the people are like grass!

    The scene in front of him aroused endless emotion in Cheng Juxin, but he immediately tried to convince himself: Today's Song Dynasty is no longer the weak and bully country it used to be. Otherwise, how could he be here?

    Just as Cheng Jutian and the people were fighting, there was suddenly a noise all around.  I don¡¯t know who took the lead, but all the people in the city who were helping to defend the city knelt down and said, "Thank you so much for your life, sir!"

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If I didn¡¯t have a little bit of ruthlessness in my heart, I would definitely not be able to survive the war now.  But it would be overly optimistic to say that the people in the city regarded death as home and were willing to live and die with the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty because of this forced ruthlessness.  After all, this land is not yet the hinterland of China, nor has it been deeply cultivated by China's orthodox culture.

    "The purpose of the country's army is to protect the people. Now I have to make peace with the enemy chieftain and exchange prisoners for the livelihood of the people. This is not only a shame for me, but also a shame for you soldiers! You should fight to the death with me to wash away the shame.  Shame on you!" Cheng Ju shouted loudly.  Because he found the city edgeHowever, the Goryeo army was not as happy as the people. Instead, everyone had a certain degree of disappointment on their faces.

    "We were originally on the same boat, but now that the people have a way out, they still have to stay on the broken boat. Who wouldn't be disappointed?"  It's a pity that according to military law, if the general dies in battle and escapes with others, the crime is unpardonable.  There is no explanation for the accidental loss of Magistrate Wu during the last retreat. Now, if Mr. Cheng is killed again, not to mention the Jurchens under the city, none of the people in the rear will let them go.

    At that time, the common people shouted long live the Song Dynasty and long live the frontier army. All the armored men present were blushing. For a moment, the awe of Cheng Ju, the instinct of escape, the severity of military law, the cruelty of the enemy, and the worship of the people all turned into positive emotions.  The counter-forces fought and fought in everyone's hearts, suddenly turning their little hearts into the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun.

    "I am willing to fight to the death with my husband!"

    Cheng Ju¡¯s personal pai army was the first to come to his senses and immediately raised his arms and shouted.  People who are desperate have a kind of blind obedience. When one, two or three echoing voices gradually appeared, Cheng Ju's shot in the arm took effect.  But he really didn't know whether this repeated stimulation method would be effective in the end. Unfortunately, he could only take it one step at a time.

    "Let's get everyone started! You come with me, we'll go to the tower and wait for news!" Cheng Ju turned around and ordered the card army.

    After passing the military order, the Pai army escorted Cheng Ju back to the tower amidst earth-shattering cheers. He hesitated all the way, not knowing whether to say what he meant or not. When he saw Cheng Ju looking at the Han prisoners hanging down from the city in trance,  Finally, he stepped forward and said: "Prisoners are never reliable, sir, you should be more prepared!"

    Cheng Ju came back to his senses, subconsciously looked at the gold and drums used for giving orders on the tower, and then patted the Paijun on the shoulder to encourage him.

    He was not afraid of the captives betraying him, but as he had never dealt with the Hulu Jurchen before and did not know their tiger and wolf habits, he was just unsure.  At that moment, he didn't go anywhere else. He just leaned on the tower with his eyes closed and rested, waiting for a reply.

    I don¡¯t know how long I squinted, but Cheng Ju was woken up by his followers. It turned out that there was a cavalry approaching from the city. Cheng Ju took a closer look and saw that it was a heavy armored cavalry.  For the soldiers and civilians who defended the city, such cavalry was indeed rare.  Because the soldiers on the opposite side were all dirty and tattered, and there were very few wearing full armor, so he was revealed unintentionally at this time.

    But after seeing the situation clearly, Cheng Ju had a hint of worry on his face. Judging from the fact that the Jurchens only sent such a person, there were only two possibilities.  Either this person is of high enough status and important enough that he can represent the three armies in one word.  Either the Hulu were ignorant and rejected this agreement, which was beneficial to both parties, and only sent a pawn to refuse.

    And when the knight reached a certain distance, he stopped and began to scream.  After Cheng Ju listened for a long time, he realized that the knight below the city was actually speaking Korean dialect. Just when he was about to ask, he suddenly saw the knight laughing wildly and throwing something from his horse, causing a sudden explosion on the city.  There was a burst of exclamation, and before Cheng Ju could ask, Paijun gritted his teeth and said: "The Han prisoner that Mr. Xian put back was beheaded by them! The head below is his!"

    It was actually the head of a prisoner!

    Cheng Ju felt a surge of energy and blood in his chest. The two countries were at war. Bu Zhan came to envoy!  Don¡¯t these savages understand?  ?  The killing was so indiscriminate!  Don¡¯t even spare your own people!

    Cheng Ju had just been having some sympathy with the prisoner, but the man who didn't want to reveal his name was already dead. Cheng Ju suppressed the uncontrollable anger in his heart and shouted: "He is still talking.  What?"

    "He said that the Jurchens could have pretended to agree and then killed us, but they are tough Jurchens who don't bother to cheat. They will take down the city with their own hands and kill us all! This will set an example for all cities that try to resist in the future!"

    After all, the Pai Army came from the Fanluo Army, and they can still hold their own in the face of such death threats.  But the people in the city who originally thought they had a chance to survive could no longer bear it. Faced with the Jurchens' merciless death sentence, countless people screamed heart-breakingly.

    The Jurchen knights who had finished delivering the message to the city, instead of leaving, laughed unabashedly, stimulating the already fragile nerves of the soldiers and civilians in the city in disguise.  Cheng Ju's fist was almost broken, and he said in a deep voice: "Lure him to take ten steps forward!"

    Paijun immediately understood, and even if he shouted to the city, he didn¡¯t need to hold his words back. He must have been holding back his words for too long.  The Jurchen at the bottom of the city was indeed here to show off his power. Although he was deliberately wary of the cold arrows from the city, he actually took a few steps forward with an arrogant look on his face, still talking arrogantly.  Cheng Ju didn't need to find someone to translate, he could guess the guy's face, probably saying something like "I'm here, where are you staying?"

    "I'll tell you to see what's going on!"

    Cheng Ju waved his hand fiercely, and the drums on the tower suddenly sounded loudly.  Cheng Ju spent countless manpower and was reluctant to expose the killerThe trump card finally reveals its true identity at this moment.  (To be continued.)
