Chapter 135: Prison Visit
Only then did Chu Liuyan speak: "This time, General Xu Da, the officers and soldiers in the army who go to save people must be clever and intelligent, and their hands and feet are agile, and this is just one aspect of preparation. More importantly, it is necessary to create an indispensable atmosphere for General Xu Da in the army, and put pressure on Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, and you don't want General Xu Da to be able to take you to fight in the north and south in the future. ”
The generals were overjoyed when they heard this, and said: "Master Chu's words are reasonable, if he can report that General Xu Da is safe and sound, it will naturally be the best." ”
Some people also asked questioningly: "Chu Liuyan, can this matter be done?" Didn't Wu Guogong release his words to behead General Xu Da and show it to the public to comfort the spirit of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming. ”
Chu Liuyan heard the words and said: "Wu Guogong did have this statement, but at the moment it is just a statement, and there is no official order, so there is still room for turning around, if we can do this, I believe that Wu Guogong will naturally change his mind." ”
"If General Xu Da can be kept safe and sound, and he can still lead us to charge into battle and fight in the south and the north, the Chu army division will be of great merit." A general hurriedly knelt down and shouted.
Bai Chousheng, who was beside Chu Liuyan, also knelt down and said, "If the Chu military division can keep General Xu Da safe, it is equivalent to my reborn parents." ”
Chu Liuyan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Bai Chousheng, who was kneeling, up and said, "There is no need to do this, I am just doing my best." ”
Unexpectedly, other generals also knelt down in unison, and a general took the lead and said: "Chu Junshi, General Xu Da regards us as siblings, this matter General Xu was wronged and imprisoned, thanks to Chu Junshi running in the middle to rescue and try his best to mediate, only then can there be the current situation, if Chu Junshi can guide us to rescue General Xu Da, and can make General Xu still able to lead our soldiers, our soldiers will be reborn to see Chu Junshi." ”
Chu Liuyan hurriedly said to the kneeling general: "You wait and please get up quickly, I also have one mind with you, to make General Xu Da safe." If we can work together, we will definitely be able to keep General Xu Da safe. ”
The kneeling generals said in unison: "But please tell us how to act." ”
Chu Liuyan said loudly to the generals: "As long as the army is integrated from top to bottom, outsiders can't splash in, and only listen to General Xu Da's orders, and create a situation outside Yingtian City that this army can't be controlled by General Xu Da, you can naturally put pressure on Zhu Yuanzhang, Duke of Wu, and the generals in Chuzhou who advocate dealing with General Xu Da, you can understand my intentions." In a word, don't rebel, don't make trouble, and don't obey other people's dispatches, can you understand? ”
When the generals heard this, their hearts were already clear. Chu Liuyan's meaning is to let them rebel, and they will not oppose the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou, and the most important thing is not to obey Zhu Yuanzhang's dispatch, so as to balance the situation, so that Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong and Chuzhou soldiers and horses have scruples. If General Xu Da is still here, this is the self-respect of the mercenaries, but now that General Xu Da has been detained, no one will accuse Xu Da of supporting the army and self-respecting, but will only think that it is the wish of the soldiers under his command. So this is an extremely ingenious move, and now the generals admire Chu Liuyan even more.
"Don't worry, Chu Junshi, I can act in accordance with Chu Junshi's instructions, and I won't rebel, make trouble, or obey other people's dispatches." The soldiers said loudly.
Chu Liuyan arranged Xu Dajun's strategy, and then took Bai Chousheng to Yingtian's prison with his horse.
When they arrived at the prison gate, two prison guards blocked Chu Liuyan and Bai Chousheng's way.
"Chu Junshi, this is an important place, the public relations of the state of Wu will take care of me and others, and idle people and others cannot enter." A prison officer knew Chu Liuyan and knew that trouble was coming today, so he immediately opened his mouth to try to keep Chu Liuyan out of the door.
"I'm here to visit General Xu Da today, General Xu Da is about to be beheaded by Wu Guogong, if you insist on stopping me and not letting me go to see General Xu Da for the last time, be careful that I sue you in front of Wu Guogong, so that you can't eat and walk around." Chu Liuyan's face changed and he said threateningly.
The prison officer suddenly hesitated, Chu Liuyan's identity is not as good as ordinary people, and he is also Wu Guogong's favorite think tank in the army, which is a well-known thing in Yingtian. If she didn't let her go in to visit General Xu Da, as long as Chu Liuyan mentioned it in front of Wu Guogong at that time, it was very likely that she would be ruined.
Thinking of this, the prison guard felt that his neck was cold, as if there was really a knife on his neck, so the prison guard groaned slightly, and then changed his tone and said to Chu Liuyan: "Chu Junshi, don't be jealous of the villain, the villain is just acting on orders, just ask Chu Junshi not to stay in prison for too long, the villain has not been in prison today. ”
Chu Liuyan smiled heartily when he heard this, then took out some broken silver and handed it to the prison servant, saying, "You can take this thing to buy a cup of tea and drink it." ”
"Thank you for the reward from Master Chu." The two of them got the money, and they led Chu Liuyan and Bai Chousheng to the prison with great gratitude, and then pointed out the direction and took Chu Liuyan to the cage where Xu Da was detained.
Yingtian Prison is very large, and it is also extremely dark, fortunately there are torches lighting every few zhang along the way, although the fire is faint, flickering and dimming, but it is more than enough to see the road, and the group walked for half an hour before reaching the outside of a cage.
The prison that took the lead pointed to the cage and said, "Master Chu, General Xu Da is detained here. ”
Chu Liuyan looked at it intently, and saw a figure curled up next to the inner wall of the cage, but he turned sideways and turned his back to the door, and there was no doubt that it was Xu Da in shape.
Chu Liuyan hurriedly rushed to the edge of the cage and called out a few times to the cage: "Xu Tiande, Brother Xu." ”
The figure inside moved slightly, and immediately flipped over, and there was a piercing sound of shackles and chains from the hair in the cage.
Chu Liuyan looked at it, it was really Xu Da, but he had lost some weight.
Chu Liuyan hurriedly shouted to the prison guards beside him: "Quick, hurry up and open the door of this cage and let me go in and have a look." ”
The prison guard obeyed the order, hurriedly took out the key to open the door of the cage, led Chu Liuyan into the prison, and dropped a sentence saying that Chu Junshi must not stay too long, so he hurriedly went out and hid far away, perhaps because he was afraid that Chu Liuyan would order him to open the shackles for Xu Da, and the prison guard hid far away.
Chu Liuyan instructed Bai Chousheng to carefully explore the terrain in the prison, and then quickly entered the prison.
