The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 359: Swapping Prisoners
"General Hua Xiong, don't worry, Chen Dao and the others are in his hands and we can't act rashly." Zhang Xiu walked to Hua Xiong's side and said.

"Can we just let Zhou Yu go? I can't swallow this breath." Hua Xiong gritted his teeth.

"We can't decide this matter lightly. Why don't we let my third junior brother make the decision? We can let Zhou Yu go and let him go to Lujiang, and then send a fast horse to Lujiang to inform my junior brother. After Zhou Yu arrives at Lujiang, my junior brother will deal with Zhou Yu himself. method." Zhang Xiu decided to leave the matter to Li Yuan to make a decision.

"Okay, then follow General Zhang's orders." Hua Xiong knew that Zhang Xiu was Li Yuan's elder brother and had a good relationship with Li Yuan, so he gave Zhang Xiu a face and listened to Zhang Xiu's suggestion.

"Zhou Yu, I'll let you go for now, but I can't make a decision on this matter, it must be decided by my lord. You go to Lujiang to find him, but I don't guarantee that the lord will let you go back." Hua Xiong said.

"General Hua Xiong, please also prepare ten days of food and grass for our army. There is not much food and grass left for our army." Zhou Yu made a request.

"Zhou Yu, don't push me too far." Hua Xiong said angrily.

"I can't make progress. The food and grass brought by our army is not much. It takes ten days to go to Lujiang from here. I ask you to borrow ten days of food and grass, isn't it too much?" Zhou Yu pulled Chen Dao up, and with his sword against his neck.

"You!" Seeing Zhou Yu threatening him with Chen Dao again, Hua Xiong became even angrier.

"Okay, I'll provide you with food and grass for ten days, you can start now." Zhang Xiu stood in front of Hua Xiong, he was really afraid that Hua Xiong would make a move if he couldn't help it.

"Hahahaha, thank you, is this general Gao's name?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Xiu curiously. He knew that Hua Xiong had a high status in Li Yuan's army, but Hua Xiong respected him quite a lot.

"I am Zhang Xiu, and General Li is my younger brother." Zhang Xiu reported his name.

"It turned out to be General Zhang Xiu, who has been admiring his name for a long time." Zhou Yu heard that Li Yuan was a disciple of Tong Yuan. He had three senior brothers, the senior brother Zhang Xiu, the second senior brother Zhang Ren, and the fourth junior Zhao Yun. Among them, Li Yuan and Zhao Yun were the most famous.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xiu prepared food and grass for Zhou Yu, and then let Zhou Yu go to Lujiang.

Hua Xiong watched Zhou Yu gradually leave, and asked Zhang Xiu beside him, "General Zhang, should we send someone to follow them?"

"Of course, send an army of 3000 people to follow them, in case they play tricks." Zhang Xiu said without hesitation.So Hua Xiong went down to make arrangements and sent a team to follow Zhou Yu.

Ten days later, Zhou Yu's army had arrived outside the city of Lujiang. Li Yuan had already led Huang Zhong and others to wait outside the city. He had already received news from Hua Xiong a few days ago.

"Zhou Yu, I've been waiting for you for a long time, how about Chen and them?" Li Yuan didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"General Li, Chen Dao and the others are well." Zhou Yu waved his hand, "Come on, bring Chen Dao and them up."

After a while, the soldiers brought Chen Dao and the three of them. Li Yuan glanced at them and felt relieved when he saw that the three of them were safe and sound. He said, "How do you let them go?"

"Just put me back in Jiangdong, I will never hurt them at all." Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

"Hahahaha, you are really brave. You entered Xuzhou to create an opportunity for Sun Ce to attack Lujiang, but you didn't expect that Sun Ce still failed to capture Lujiang. I am not afraid to tell you that Sun Ce was seriously injured by me. It is still unknown whether he will survive when he returns to Moling. .” Li Yuan also laughed, he couldn’t lose to Zhou Yu psychologically.

"What, the lord is injured, how is he doing now?" Zhou Tai was very worried and couldn't help asking Li Yuan.

"I stabbed him in the waist and abdomen, and the injury is quite serious. Although he has retreated to Moling, he has lost a lot of blood. Whether he can survive depends on the skill of your Jiangdong famous doctor." Li Yuan did not hide anything, and told Zhou Yu the truth and others.

"General Li, you don't need to tell me anything else. Now that Chen Dao and the others are in my hands, are you willing to let my army go back?" Zhou Yu knew that Li Yuan wanted to use the matter of Sun Ce to attack them, so he would not believe it easily. Li Yuan's words.

"Zhou Yu, you attacked Guangling and killed countless soldiers and horses. How can I just let you go?"

"Could it be that you want to watch the heads of Chen Dao and the other three fall to the ground with your own eyes?" In fact, Zhou Yu didn't know what to do. The official positions of the three people in Shangchen are not considered high, and he can't guarantee that Li Yuan will keep these three people.

"You don't have to threaten me, I have something to show you." Li Yuan clapped his hands, and the soldiers escorted the two tied up people up.Zhou Yu took a closer look and found that it was Ling Cao and Dong Xi. Ling Cao and Dong Xi followed Sun Ce to attack Jiangdong, and now they were caught by Li Yuan.

"Zhou Yu, you don't need to say more, you already know who these two are. What do you think if I exchange them for the three of you?" Li Yuan also had a bargaining chip in his hand, so he was not afraid of Zhou Yu.

"General Zhou, what should we do, Yuan Dynasty and Ling Cao are in their hands, we have to save them." Chen Wu has a good relationship with Ling Cao and Dong Xi, and wants to save them.

Zhou Yu was in trouble now. He didn't expect Li Yuan to have such a hand. He looked at Ling Cao and Dong Xi and hesitated in his heart. If Ling Cao and Dong Xi were saved, they would not be able to go back to Jiangdong. Save, if you don't save, I'm afraid it will cool the hearts of these two generals.

"Hurry up and make a decision, don't hesitate, if you value your subordinates, exchange them with me." Li Yuan said deliberately, if Zhou Yu refused, it means that Zhou Yu is a person who does not value his subordinates, and can drive a wedge between Zhou Yu and his subordinates Pang Tong taught him this trick.

"General Li, don't try to set me up. Even if I exchange with you, you will not let us go, so it is meaningless to change." Zhou Yu changed the subject, "You can change if you want. I will exchange Guan Hai and Zhou Cang for Ling. Cao and Dong Xi, two for two is fair."

"No, two must be exchanged for three."

"General Li, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. If you change, I will change. If you don't change, I will kill the three of them immediately, and then I will fight with my back here. Even if the whole army is wiped out, I will not be captured without a fight!" Zhou Yu said firmly, and after finishing speaking, he raised his long sword and slashed at Chen Dao.

"Wait!" Li Yuan stopped Zhou Yu, "Do you want to exchange with me, and then threaten me with Chen Dao, asking me to let you go back to Jiangdong?"

"Exactly." Zhou Yu didn't hide anything.

"Okay, I agree to your request. Zhou Yu, I am different from you. You can give up the lives of your subordinates at will, but I, Li Yuan, will not. These brothers followed me through life and death, and fought in the north and south. How can I watch them die in front of me? Right now." After Li Yuan finished speaking, he let Ling Cao and Dong Xi go.Zhou Yu was also unambiguous, and immediately released Guan Hai and Zhou Cang.
