Chapter 051 This is called tactics
Han Xin was imprisoned alone in a prison in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City.
This prison was originally empty and was in Xiao He's demolition plan. Empress Lü imprisoned Han Xin here and personally selected the jailers and guards. Although were only small jailers, they dared to stop Xiao He and prevent him from entering.
As for Liu Chang, he was not allowed to see Han Xin by Empress Lu's strict order.
However, the resourceful Liu Chang had his own way.
He only needed to throw a tantrum at his second brother, who was easy to bully. As long as he threw a tantrum, he would definitely take him to see Han Xin. Liu Ying could go to see Han Xin, and the jailer did not dare to embarrass him. When the jailer saw Liu Ying, he was so attentive and smiling, as if he had seen a family member, which was completely different from his usual appearance.
Although he was not as polite to Liu Chang as Liu Ying, he was still kind to him.
"The prison is filled with yin energy. Come, young master, put on this robe..."
Liu Chang felt something was strange in his heart. The jailer was so polite to his second brother and himself, as if it was not because of their identities, but because of his mother.
When Liu Ying smiled and gave instructions to Liu Chang without thanking the jailer Lu, Liu Chang immediately understood... It turned out that he was a distant relative of his. What was his mother thinking to let a relative be such a minor official?
When Liu Chang followed Liu Ying into the prison, he realized that his relative had not lied to him. The prison was filled with a chill that made people shiver from the inside out. The prisons were empty, with only a few solemn and fully armed jailers patrolling the corridors.
When he reached the deepest part, Liu Chang saw the disheveled figure from a distance.
“Master!!”
Liu Chang exclaimed, and Han Xin suddenly raised his head, and the chains on his body made a noise.
The jailer opened the door, whispered a few words into Liu Ying's ear, and then left.
The two brothers walked into the prison. Liu Ying bowed to salute, while Liu Chang threw himself directly into Han Xin's arms.
At this moment, Han Xin exuded a faint foul odor all over his body and his face was dark, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.
Liu Chang couldn't help crying when he saw his master like this, and wiped the mud off his face with his sleeve.
Han Xin's eyes softened a little, but his tone remained disdainful.
"A real man! Why are you acting like a girl?"
"Master, my mother didn't allow me to come and see you...did they beat you?"
Seeing the master and disciple talking intimately, Liu Ying smiled, then stood up and walked to the door of the cell, looking into the distance, allowing them to talk freely.
When Liu Chang saw Han Xin, he started talking, starting from the day he returned to the palace, telling Han Xin about everything that had happened in the past few days. Han Xin listened carefully and did not interrupt him. Liu Chang kept talking, from leaving the city, to meeting Peng Yue, from fighting with Ruyi, to being sought revenge by Fan Kuai's son, without exception, chirping like a sparrow.
Han Xin narrowed his eyes and listened carefully.
However, even though Liu Chang told Han Xin that he had met Peng Yue in private, Han Xin was not surprised and did not even express his opinion.
Han Xin didn't speak until Liu Chang talked about how he defeated Fan Kuai's two sons.
"It would be foolish to rely solely on one's own military force."
"Even if Xiang Yu is a brave man, what can he accomplish if he doesn't know how to use strategies?"
Liu Chang was stunned, "Then what should I do?"
"Defeat the enemy, either by killing them or by taking them back."
"To defeat the enemy, you must choose the least laborious method... Killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own is the most foolish behavior. Annihilating the greatest enemy at the lowest cost is what a person should pursue."
"But I'm not fighting a war?"
"The principles of military tactics can be applied anywhere, on the streets, in the temples. I just regret that I understood it too late..."
"Then I can't kill them..."
Han Xin didn't say anything else, just looked at Liu Chang.
The jailer did not give them too much time. Soon, Liu Ying took Liu Chang away. Liu Chang left reluctantly, looking back every three steps, "Master, I will come again..."
…
Han Xin's teachings did give Liu Chang great inspiration.
These past few days, when he went out of the palace accompanied by Luan Bu, he always saw the man named Fan Kang leading a group of people wandering outside the palace. Probably because of their background, the soldiers patrolling outside the gate did not dare to formally expel them, but just asked them to stay away from the palace gate.
Liu Chang considered himself brave, but facing so many people, if he really started fighting, he was not worried that he would not be able to win, he could definitely fight, but he was mainly afraid that he would not be able to control the severity of his attack, what if he killed them? Liu Chang was not a coward, absolutely not!
Han Xin told him that he could either kill them or recapture them. This was just a fight between children, and killing people was definitely wrong.
The teacher also said that if you want to defeat the enemy in the least effort, it is best to annihilate the enemy without paying any price.
How can we get rid of so many people in an effortless way?
Liu Chang thought seriously. With Luan Bu by his side , those guys didn't dare to come up and cause trouble. As for Luan Bu, although he was his servant, if he asked him to beat up a group of children, he probably wouldn't agree...
After much thought, Liu Chang finally came up with a perfect plan.
"Brother~~~~"
"That guy named Fan Kang called seven or eight people to beat me up. I was outnumbered... They also blocked me at the palace gate and said they would beat me up every time they saw me!"
Liu Chang wiped his tears hypocritically and cried in front of Liu Ruyi.
"What?!"
At that moment, Liu Ruyi was furious. He grabbed the sword at his waist and asked, "Where are these sons of bitches now?"
"Still at the gate of the palace..."
"Come with me!"
Liu Ruyi grabbed Liu Chang's hand and walked out of the hall quickly, "You guys! Yes, you guys, go find some sticks or something and follow me!"
"Hui! Bring your servant and follow me! The leader has been bullied!"
"Friend, why are you holding such a small stick? Go get a bigger one!!"
"Don't tell Heng!"
Liu Chang watched Liu Ruyi gather a group of people and rush towards the palace gate. He felt a little uneasy. Was this a bit too much?
The soldiers at the gate of the palace would not let him go. Ruyi directly used Liu Chang as an excuse, saying that he wanted to go outside the palace with Gongzi Chang to see the new farming machinery. This was the order of the prime minister! These people behind him were guards to protect the prince!
When they swarmed out of the palace gate, Liu Ruyi asked Liu Chang to find those people.
The group wandered around the palace for a few laps and happened to run into a group of people who were laughing and making noises together. Liu Chang recognized Fan Kang among them and shouted, "That's them!"
Liu Ruyi walked over angrily, with a group of people standing behind him with unfriendly looks.
Fan Kang and his group were only five people, and when they saw a few people leading a group of close servants, who seemed to have weapons in their hands, they felt a little scared. After they looked at each other for a few times, Fan Kang, the leader, turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey! I'm talking about you! Come here!"
Liu Ruyi shouted.
Fan Kang raised his head and was about to go over, but an older child nearby stopped him and walked over without fear.
"What's your business?"
"Who are you?"
"My name is Zhou Shengzhi, these two are my younger brothers, Yafu and Jian, what do you want to do?"
"You beat my brother, what do you think I want to do?"
Zhou Shengzhi could no longer hold back his anger. He stared at Liu Chang who was not far away and cursed: "It was obviously him who beat up my friend... How can you be so shameless..."
"boom!"
Ruyi didn't waste any words and hit Zhou Shengzhi's stomach hard with the scabbard of the sword. Zhou Shengzhi groaned and fell down. "Hit him!" Ruyi shouted, and the people behind him rushed forward. They saw Liu Hui, who was usually kind, punched Zhou Yafu. Zhou Yafu was hit and burst into tears. He was chased by Liu Hui and ran around.
Fan Kang and the others screamed from time to time, as if someone was beating them with a stick? But they couldn't find the person beating them.
Only after they fell down could they see the thin Liu You standing behind them, panting, holding a wooden stick.
Liu Chang did not take any action. He just stood aside and watched the show, grinning.
Seeing Ruyi, who was the most annoying person on weekdays, furious, riding on Zhou Shengzhi and hitting his face, Liu Chang felt vaguely guilty. Was it immoral for him to do this?
But... this is really great, the teacher is telling the truth, it turns out that it is so refreshing to solve the enemy without doing anything yourself, so who cares whether it is moral or not?
