Chapter 83 Kill or not kill

Chen Chu's voice was not loud, but everyone couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring when they heard it.

A moment after Chen Chu's words fell, a surrendered man stood up. The surrendered man looked very young and thin. He glanced at Chen Chu and said timidly: "I want to go home."

Chen Chu immediately signaled to a small school beside him. The small school understood and immediately ordered the soldiers to make way. Then Chen Chu said to the surrendered soldier: "You can leave."

The surrendered man hesitated for a moment, then walked out of the circle with his teeth. Seeing that no one was stopping him, the surrendered man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but stopped, turned around and knelt down at Chen Chu, kowtowed three times, and then stood up and ran out of the city.

Seeing that Chen Chu was indeed convinced, the surrendered soldiers expressed their choices to Chen Chu one after another.

Finally, nearly 4,000 surrendered strokes joined the Northern Expedition Army, while the remaining 1,000 chose to go home.

Chen Chu handed the three thousand surrendered soldiers to Dian Wei. Chen Chu had some considerations about this. After all, Dian Wei was the most intimidating among these people, so he could train these surrendered soldiers to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

When the surrendered soldiers who joined the Northern Army learned that their leading general was the evil general who had killed them before, everyone could not help but turn a blind eye and were frightened. However, no one raised any objections. First of all, it was because they were the surrendered army and it was inconvenient to raise objections. In addition, it was more important that these surrendered soldiers were afraid of Dian Wei, but they admired Dian Wei even more. This is the case in the army. The strong are respected. As long as you are the strong, everyone will submit to you.

Chen Chu did not intend to come in handy immediately for these newly incorporated surrendered troops. At least he had to let the gentlemen educate them well for a month. Only when their thoughts were reborn would Chen Chu truly incorporate these surrendered troops into the battle sequence of the Northern Army.

After giving instructions on Leping's various matters, Chen Chu returned to Zhang Rui's room.

"Lord." The two girls waiting by the couch saw Chen Chu coming in and quickly bowed down.

Chen Chu nodded, "You guys go down."

"Yes." The two girls agreed respectfully and then retreated.

Chen Chu sat down beside the couch and once again held Zhang Rui's tenderness into his palm. At this moment, Chen Chu's heart immediately calmed down.

Looking at Zhang Rui's quiet and beautiful face, Chen Chu couldn't help but sigh. Such a beautiful and kind girl has a misfortune! God, how unfair you are!

Now the only one who can save Rui'er is Hua Tuo. Chen Chu couldn't help but think of Lu Su who was far away in Luoyang. The hope now lies with Lu Su!

Luoyang.

Lu Su frowned and paced back and forth, with a very distressed look on his face. It turned out that after receiving Chen Chu's urgent flying pigeon letter a few days ago, Lu Su immediately invited Xu You who was staying in Luoyang.

On the table, Lu Su racked his brains to snag Xu You's words and got a bad news. According to Xu You, Hua Tuo was indeed locked in the dungeon of the General's Mansion, but Hua Tuo offended Yuan Shao greatly, and even Xu You dared not let anyone go casually.

"Sir, why don't I take someone to sneak into the General's Mansion tonight and bring Hua Tuo out?" The Iron Barrier Captain said. The Iron Barrier Captain's surname is Jiang, and his name is Tai. He is from Gaoyang, Youzhou. He was originally a small leader under Cheng Yuanzhi, the Yellow Turban Army. His joining the Yellow Turban Army was different from other people. He really believed what Zhang Jiao said. When he was just captured by Chen Chu, he cursed Chen Chu all day long and cursed the Han court. However, less than a month after class, Jiang Tai seemed to have been reborn. Not only did he stop cursing Chen Chu, but he showed fanatical loyalty to Chen Chu, but he still disdained the Han court. In the subsequent battles, Jiang Tai made many military achievements and was finally promoted to Chen Chu to be a captain of the Iron Barrier. He got off the ground and got back to the topic.

After hearing Jiang Tai's advice, Lu Su shook his head, "No, although Yuan Shao left, the General's Mansion is still very strict in defense. It is almost impossible to go to the dungeon to bring Hua Tuo out silently! Once discovered, a fierce battle will inevitably occur. Our safety is small, but if our wife encounters an unexpected accident because of our recklessness, then we will die and not forgive us!"

Jiang Tai couldn't help but frown, "There is no soft or hard, what should we do?"

Lu Su shook his head, then continued to pace back and forth, while his mind was still thinking. Jiang Tai didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only watch and hoped that he could come up with a good idea.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Jiang Tai felt that time had been so long.

Lu Su sighed in frustration. He really couldn't think of any good idea. "You should take someone to check if Xu You have any handle?" He racked his brains and could not imagine it, Lu Su had to give such instructions first.

"Yes." Jiang Tai said loudly and left.

If you still cannot find a breakthrough before night, then you will have to attack the General's Mansion at night! Lu Su frowned and thought, feeling a little solemn.

Almost all of the more than 500 iron wall guards disguised themselves on the streets in Luoyang, mingled among beggars in groups, or came to the winery and teahouse in groups of three or three.

But don’t underestimate those beggars who make a living by begging. Because of the large number of people, they can see and hear many unknown things. Because of the low status of beggars, ordinary people are unwilling to approach them, so the information they hear from hearsay is basically only circulated among them. Therefore, it makes sense that the iron wall guards disguised as beggars to inquire about the news.

The wine shops and teahouses are a place where all the religions and the worlds gather, and you can usually find many useful information here.

Lu Su was waiting anxiously in the mansion. Before he knew it, the sun was already westward and the sky gradually darkened. The guards who went out came back one after another. However, to Lu Su's frustration, no one found any useful information.

Lu Su counted the number of people and found that only Jiang Tai had not returned yet.

Did Jiang Tai find something?! Lu Su couldn't help thinking so, and a feeling of anxiety and loss arose in his heart.

Assisting the Iron Wall Guards to go down to change into military uniforms, Lu Su was paced anxiously in the lobby.

Until the sun was completely set, Lu Su finally heard something from outside.

"Sir, I'm back." It was indeed Jiang Tai, who came, and there seemed to be excitement in his expression. At this time, Jiang Tai was dressed in rags and dressed as a beggar.

Lu Su hurriedly went up to meet him and asked anxiously: "How is it? Are there any gains?"

Jiang Tai nodded and said without hesitation. "I found out from the beggars in the south of the city that Xu You took a new concubine in Luoyang, charming and coquettish. Xu You loved her so much. Needless to say, gold, silver, pearls and jade were built for her in the south of the city. Xu You would go to hang out for a night every now and then."

Lu Su thought while listening, and then asked for a moment: "Is there anyone patrol in the house where this concubine lives? Have you gone to inquire?"

Jiang Tai replied immediately, "The reason why I came back so late is because I went there and took a walk. Please rest assured that although Xu You released two soldiers there, it would not work for us."

Lu Su nodded and continued to think.

"Sir, should we take this concubine to threaten Xu You to hand over Hua Tuo?" Jiang Tai asked tentatively.

Lu Su shook his head, but did not explain, but walked to the edge of several tables and knelt down, holding up his pen and writing something.

Jiang Tai was slightly surprised. When he stood beside Lu Su, he saw that Lu Su wrote all the medicine names on the bamboo slips.

After a while, Lu Su finished writing. Lu Su handed Jiang Tai the bamboo slips with more than a dozen medicine names written on it, and at the same time ordered: "Go to the medicine shop and get these medicines back immediately."

Jiang Tai was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Sir, what's the point?"

"Go quickly! I don't have time to explain now!"

"Yes, I'll go now." As he said that, Jiang Tai ran out without even having to change his clothes.

Not long after, Jiang Tai ran back with a large bag of things. "Sir, I bought what you want." He ran back and forth several times, and even Jiang Tai's body was a little panting.

Lu Su hurriedly asked Jiang Tai to put down the things, then carefully checked them. After a moment, he showed a smile and nodded, "It's these things."

Turning to look at Jiang Tai, Lu Su smiled and said, "The shops are closed now. How did you buy these medicinal materials?"

"I called the door, but the store refused to open it, so I smashed the door open. In this way, I bought the medicine back." Jiang Tai said naturally.

Lu Su couldn't help laughing, "You did this but violated the military rules. Are you not afraid of your lord punishing you?"

"As long as you can save your wife, the lord will not regret it even if he kills me!" Jiang Tai replied firmly.

Just now, Lu Su was just a joke, but he didn't expect that the other party's reaction was so intense, and some feelings arose in his heart.

"Sir, what do you want these things to do?" Jiang Tai couldn't help asking.

While asking someone to prepare a medicine jar, Jiang Tai replied: "Preparing medicine."

Preparing medicine! Jiang Tai felt even more confused.

Lu Su ignored Jiang Tai and knelt on the ground to clean the medicinal materials. After a while, Tiewei sent the medicine jar and then Lu Su put the prepared medicinal materials into the medicine jar and started boiling medicine.

Lu Su knelt beside the medicine furnace, taking care of the fire with all his attention, and Jiang Tai did not dare to leave. He stood behind Lu Su and waited quietly.

About an hour later, Lu Su suddenly said, "It's OK!", and then carefully lifted the medicine jar and poured the medicine juice into an empty jar.

After doing all this, Lu Su let out a long sigh.

"Sir, what's the use of this medicine?" Jiang Tai, who was confused, couldn't help asking.

Lu Su smiled, "This medicine is for Xu You's concubine."

Jiang Tai couldn't help frowning. Lu Su continued, without waiting for him to ask questions, "This is a poison. Just take a drop to poison. After taking it, the symptoms will be very scary, but in fact, this poison will not kill anyone. As long as Xu You's concubine is infected with this poison, we have the opportunity to take advantage of it. In the middle of the night, you will lead someone to sneak into her yard and pour the medicine into the well. Next, we just need to wait on the road that must be passed. Xu You is worried about the safety of his concubine and will definitely send someone to send Hua Tuo over. At that time, we will rob you halfway."

Jiang Tai couldn't help but lit up his eyes. As long as Hua Tuo left the General's Mansion, everything would be easy. Hua Tuo was not an important person. As long as he left the General's Mansion, there would definitely not be many people responsible for escorting him. It would be easy to seize Hua Tuo with the combat power of the Iron Wall Guard.

"Sir, this plan is very good!" Jiang Tai said with admiration. But Jiang Tai seemed to suddenly think of something again, and then he looked worried, "Sir, what if Xu You hired a doctor at will?"

Lu Su smiled and shook his head, "No. Think about it, if your relative is seriously ill and there is a miracle doctor who is good at medical skills, would you choose this miracle doctor, or would you go to the street to find a doctor?"

Jiang Tai immediately showed a sudden expression.

In the middle of the night that day, Jiang Tai took two iron guards to put on Yexing clothes and went out again, heading straight to the south of the city.

On that night, in Leping, thousands of miles away, Chen Chu was frightened to find that Rui'er's hand holding in her palm became cold. In a frightened state, Chen Chu immediately sent someone to call Lao Zhong. After Cai's diagnosis, Lao Zhong told Chen Chu that Zhang Rui's injury was more serious than expected. If he could not find a treatment within four days, he would be unable to make a comeback.

Chen Chu couldn't help but feel very bad and drove everyone out on the spot.
