He Yu has never been a person who sits still and waits for death. During the days after being kidnapped, he has been thinking about ways to escape and save himself.
A few days ago, before Zhao Junchen "escaped", He Yu had imagined that he should capture Zhao Junchen, who was also a prisoner next to him, and then use Zhao Junchen's life as a threat to ask the kidnappers to release him immediately.
In He Yu's eyes, Zhao Junchen has always been the biggest suspect behind the kidnapping case, so even if this attempt does not allow him to escape smoothly, it can at least allow him to take the opportunity to test out the relationship between Zhao Junchen and the kidnappers. real relationship.
However, when He Yu came up with this idea, his leg was still seriously injured and he had difficulty moving. In addition, he was still secretly assessing the situation in his mind and looking forward to external rescue from Liaodong Town, so he did not quickly make up his mind and take immediate action. Instead of taking action, he suppressed his inner impulse and waited patiently for the situation to change and his injuries to improve.
Who would have thought that before his injuries improved, Zhao Junchen would have taken the first step and escaped directly, leaving him alone and still being controlled by the kidnappers.
From a God's perspective, He Yu's hesitation also caused him to directly lose the best opportunity to save himself and turn passivity into initiative.
In the past few days, He Yu has been regretting his hesitation.
However, He Yu did not just focus on regret. As a thoughtful person, the self-rescue strategy he conceived was not only the one plan of kidnapping Zhao Junchen, but also several other alternatives.
Therefore, when he made up his mind to save himself, he did not spend much thought on the specific plan, nor on perfecting the details of the action - these issues had already been thought about countless times by He Yu in advance - but after pondering for a while, He quickly selected a specific action plan and decided to take action immediately.
After all, just because of wait-and-see and hesitation, he had missed the best opportunity a few days ago and could only watch Zhao Junchen get out of trouble and leave early, so he naturally had to make a decisive decision this time and was unwilling to miss the opportunity again, especially He has been trapped here for too long, and he is increasingly worried about the changes in the situation in Liaodong Town during this time.
Although this kind of hasty self-rescue operation will inevitably involve great risks, and may even endanger He Yu's life, He Yu is a power animal, and when his life is at risk, He Yu cannot accept the loss of his power and position. stable.

Just like that, after He Yu secretly made up his mind, he turned his eyes again to the two kidnappers who were guarding him in the wooden house, and a trace of thinking flashed in his eyes.
After these days of secret observation, He Yu has vaguely figured out that the group of kidnappers who kidnapped him are not from the same origin, but are composed of two waves of people with different identities.
The kidnappers who stay in the wooden house and take turns guarding He Yu are one group of people. The kidnappers who stay outside the wooden house to take care of security and occasionally show up to interrogate He Yu are another group of people.
The former are often more dull and simple in their behavior, and their temperament is like that of an honest farm man. From the occasional few words, it can be judged from their accent that they are actually locals from Liaodong, and they are also locals in their actions. Will obey the latter's arrangements, and every time the latter shows up to interrogate He Yu, he will deliberately send these people away.
The latter's behavior is more capable and orderly, and their temperament is like a battlefield veteran with experience in killing enemies. They rarely speak loudly in front of He Yu, obviously because they are worried that He Yu will judge them through their accents. The true origin of the incident was that when he had occasional contact with He Yu, only the thief leader could speak aloud, and the thief leader would also deliberately conceal his accent when speaking.
Based on these circumstances, He Yu has already made a judgment in his mind, believing that the two kidnappers responsible for guarding him in the wooden house will definitely not be the core figures among the kidnappers, and they will not be particularly firm in their stance. They are just temporary masterminds behind the scenes. They are just chess pieces and cannon fodder. These people have no idea of the true intentions of the mastermind behind the scenes, or even the consequences of their actions. The mastermind behind the scenes arranges these people to guard them just for the sake of protecting themselves. Just try to cover up their true origins as much as possible to prevent He Yu from seeing more flaws.
In fact, He Yu's judgment was absolutely correct.
Just as He Yu thought, the kidnappers who were taking turns guarding him these days were all ordinary farm men who Xu Qingyan had temporarily deceived and beguiled from Hujiazhuang. These people were arranged to guard He Yu precisely to cover up the truth and mislead He Yu as much as possible. judgment.
The real core members of this kidnapping were Xu Qingyan and more than twenty elite Forbidden Army members under his command. These elite Forbidden Army members had all participated in the trilateral war and were full of admiration and admiration for Zhao Junchen just like Jiang Quan. Because of their love and Zhao Junchen's deliberate win over, they were all loyal to Zhao Junchen. However, these elite elites of the Forbidden Army all spoke with capital accents and their identities would be revealed when they spoke, so they could only be responsible for some peripheral security tasks on weekdays.
At the same time, these Hujiazhuang villagers who were deceived and beguiled are indeed cannon fodder and pawns in the eyes of Zhao Junchen and Xu Qingyan. They have no idea of the true intention of the kidnapping. They still think that the kidnapping is In order to avenge the people of Hujiazhuang and uphold justice, he took the risk to participate in this kidnapping, even at the expense of everything.
From a certain point of view, their thoughts are not wrong. If Zhao Junchen's plan is successfully realized, it will indeed be able to avenge the people of Hujiazhuang and uphold justice. However, in Zhao Junchen's plan, this result is just incidental. That's all, mainly because he covets the military power of Liaodong Town.
All in all, after He Yu became aware of this situation, one of the self-rescue strategies he conceived was to try to instigate these local farm men from Liaodong who had been deceived and deceived, and let these people help him escape.
Moreover, in order to implement this strategy, He Yu began to make preparations from the day Zhao Junchen escaped.
In He Yu's view, there are only two reasons why these local farm men from Liaodong participated in this kidnapping. One is that they live in poverty and have no other options, so they take risks and seek wealth; the other is that they or their tribesmen I was severely oppressed by the Liaodong frontier army, so I couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to take revenge.
In response to this situation, He Yu has been making various seemingly reasonable requests frequently in the past few days, either he is thirsty and wants to drink water, or he is cold and wants to put on more clothes, or he is numb and wants the kidnappers to help him. Help yourself to turn over.
These requests were very reasonable, and most of the kidnappers would agree. He Yu had more contact and communication with them. He also took the opportunity to show his goodwill and express goodwill many times, and then expressed his feelings many times, or expressed His determination to rectify military discipline and uphold justice for the people, or imply that he has always repaid every drop of kindness and always kept his word and never broke his word.
He Yu believed that after these few days of preparation, he was ready for the next stage of his attempts.
Thinking of this, He Yu first leaned his ear against the wall and checked the security situation outside the wooden house.
There wasn't much movement outside the wooden house. Perhaps He Yu's disguise these days had played a role. The kidnappers thought He Yu was still unable to move, so they didn't step up surveillance.
After noticing this situation, He Yu felt a little relieved and then took action quickly.
He Yu first shook his head and let out a long sigh.
Seeing that the two kidnappers who were watching him in the house did not respond, He Yu frowned, then shook his head again, sighed, and murmured softly: "I don't know what the situation is! Alas!"
This time, the two kidnappers in the wooden house finally came to their senses from their sleepiness, and both turned to look at He Yu.
These two people are farmers Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun from Hujiazhuang.
Among them, Niu Zhuang is still the leader of this group of Hujiazhuang villagers.
After noticing He Yu's performance, Niu Zhuang immediately asked impatiently: "What are you whining about? Do you want our brothers to serve you again? Ha, you are just a prisoner, still pretending to be a general!" Well, do you want to drink water? Or do you want to turn over?"
He Yu shook his head again, his face full of worry, and he seemed not to care about Niu Zhuang's offense at all. He just sighed softly: "I don't have any requests. I am just a little worried about the reaction of the Liaodong soldiers after I was kidnapped. I don't know. Have they carried out the arrangements made before Ben was kidnapped these days!"
Seeing that both Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun were not interested and did not intend to continue asking, He Yu couldn't help but frowned again, but he could only take the initiative to explain: "Over the years, I have been focusing on the frontline war. He tried his best to resist the invasion of the Jurchen Tatars in Jianzhou, and almost died in battle several times. In addition, the soldiers of the border army and the general fought bloody battles with the enemy, so it is inevitable that the general was negligent in military discipline!
But this time, due to Zhao Gechen's inspection, the general was shocked to realize that many of his frontier troops had become black sheep and had done things to humiliate and oppress the people. Naturally, he was very angry and blamed himself. Originally, I have made up my mind to rectify military discipline, and I also plan to find out a group of bad apples, punish them severely, and kill them with the anger of the people. Who would have thought that just when I was about to take action, I would be kidnapped by you and brought here...
I don’t know if Liaodong Town’s campaign to rectify military discipline was abandoned after I was kidnapped... Alas, in my heart, this campaign to rectify military discipline is of vital importance, not only for the reputation of Liaodong Town, but also for the reputation of Liaodong Town. It is also related to the justice of the people, and we cannot let it continue like this! "
Hearing what He Yu said, Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun were both stunned.
The reason why they followed Xu Qingyan and others to kidnap He Yu was because the people of Hujiazhuang were oppressed too hard by the border troops in the West Road Defense Zone, and their wives and daughters were even humiliated, so they chose this extreme method. Seek justice and revenge for yourself, your relatives and friends.
But now, listening to what He Yu said, it seems that even if there was no kidnapping, He Yu would still be willing to uphold justice and revenge for them? Even want to kill a group of military attachés who oppressed the people to quell the people's resentment?
In this case, what is the significance of their kidnapping He Yu?
Not only is it meaningless, it will even bring more danger to them, their relatives and friends, and delay He Yu's plan to rectify military discipline and uphold justice!
There is always a kind of ignorant thought among the people, which is simply to "clear the emperor's side"!
They will always simply think that the emperor is good. The reason why a country has bad governance and the people suffer is because there are treacherous ministers around the emperor.
As the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town, He Yu was actually the local emperor in the Liaodong area, and in their eyes, he was not much different from the emperor.
Therefore, by inference, in the minds of some Liaodong people, He Yu is very likely to be innocent of the evil deeds of the Liaodong frontier army that has oppressed the people for many years. It is all because of the deception by the middle and lower-level officers!
This idea is absurd, but the people of Liaodong must have such an illusion, because they have only this hope left. If they cannot have such a self-deceptive illusion, they will lose the courage to live.
It is precisely because of the existence of this idea that Niu Zhuang and Hu Sanshun couldn't help but be shaken after hearing He Yu's sigh at this time!
