Chapter eight hundred and eighty sixth
Yang Fan returned to Qianqi Camp, and generals of all sizes, including Chu Kuangge, Maqiao, Huang Xuchang, Lu Yan, etc., immediately rushed up to surround him, some of whom were quarreling and scolding, and they couldn't hear what they were saying. Yang Fan's face darkened and shouted, "Shut up!"
Yang Fan glanced at them and asked, "Is General Lu Lang back?"
"I'm in a humble position!"
Lu Maofeng squeezed in from behind everyone, smiled bitterly, and then Xu Liang squeezed in with a crooked armor.
Yang Fan calmed down his tone and said to Lu Maofeng: "General Lu Lang, how are the matter doing?"
Lu Maofeng said with shame and anger: "Hui Zhi...Hui Zhi was ordered to go to Jinwu Guard. The King of Hanoi didn't even let me in the gate, and only sent one sentence."
Yang Fan stared at him and said, "Oh, what did he say?"
General Lu Lang said angrily: "He said, he said that I, Lu Maofeng, have not enough status! I want... I want you... I want you... I want you..."
Yang Fan said: "You can spread whatever he says, and you don't have to worry about it."
General Lu Lang said, "Yes! He said, 'Call Yang Fan and kowtow from the gate to see me. He kowtowed me all the way to the commander's tent. If I am happy, I will let him go."
Yang Fan was furious. He knew that the emperor could not have come forward to reconcile the conflicts and frictions between the two groups of soldiers. What do you think of the emperor? He went to the imperial court to do that scene, but was afraid that Wu Yizong would have the convenient identity of a royal relative, so he went to Wu Zetian to sue him for the crime.
When he went to see Wu Sansi, he really wanted to save people first by using relatively peaceful means. There was no reason why the person was there and he went to make an angry with them first. Unexpectedly, Wu Sansi's attitude was very perfunctory. This disappointed Yang Fan. Now, he heard Wu Yizong say this again, how could he not be angry?
Even if he meets the emperor, unless he is a major ceremony such as a tribute or a sacrifice to the ancestors of heaven and earth, he doesn't have to kneel down. Wu Yizong dares to say such words? What is important is not how this sentence humiliates him, but shows Wu Yizong's attitude. Obviously, this time he has made a trap and is ready to "reason" and will not forgive others.
Lu Maofeng felt a little ashamed because he had not accomplished this. In fact, he was just a subordinate. He was ordered to negotiate. If the matter was not done, he could be angry because of his experience. It was his Qianqi coach Yang Fan who was in danger.
However, because Lu Maofeng came from different sources, he was very excluded at first. Last time, he made great efforts and his relationship with his colleagues eased. He was not welcomed by his friends. It felt very uncomfortable. In order to win the friendship of other generals, Lu Maofeng always showed off his relationship intentionally or unintentionally. It seemed that he was a person with great hands and eyes in Beijing.
Face and reputation are also a burden. Now Wu Yizong has not even allowed him to enter the gate. He swept his face into the stinky ditch, how could Lu Maofeng not be ashamed and angry as he was.
Xu Liang said: "It is better to go to see General Wu Youyi. After all, our thousand cavalry belong to Yulin Guard. It is legitimate to ask General Wu to come forward."
Yang Fan thought for a while and said, "You go, you originally belonged to Baiqi, and you are his old subordinate. Please make it easier in private."
Xu Liang agreed and left the camp.
Yang Fan looked at the angry Chu Kuangge and others and said, "You guys will disperse first. People, no matter what, I will rescue you! But I have to think of a way. The world is not as good as we are going sideways!"
Seeing this, everyone had to disperse one after another. Lu Maofeng, who was embarrassed and angry, caught up and remedy: "When I was leading the military guard, there was a sworn brother. Now in the Jinwu guard, the King of Hanoi did not see me, so I asked this brother to take care of the people we were arrested if possible. If there is any change in news, I will notify me as soon as possible."
At this moment, if he makes such a request, his brother will be in a difficult situation. The Jinwu Guard and the Qianqi Camp are hostile to each other. His brother is a member of the Jinwu Guard. Whether it is helping to take care of the Qianqi Camp or informing the news, it is a taboo. Although this news only talks about the situation of Gao Chu and others in the Jinwu Guard, it does not involve the defense of the enemy and our camps, and it does not concern the victory or defeat between the two sides. But once it is known, it will be no one inside or outside.
So, Lu Maofeng kept holding on until there was no one around him, and then he said it to Yang Fan.
Yang Fan bowed to him with emotion and said, "In terms of position, I am higher than you. In terms of age, you are greater than me. In private, regardless of official position, we only talk about our age. Brother Lu, in fact, since you arrived at Qianqi Camp, I have seen all your actions and experiences. But I don't have some words to say, nor do I have any special intervention because of a little friction.
You understand Brother Lu’s origin, I understand, everyone understands, so he is inevitably treated coldly. In fact, this is also a common human nature. Brother Lu is older and has experienced more experiences, so he must also understand this truth. If someone wants to put someone in Brother Lu’s circle, I’m afraid Brother Lu won’t like him.”
Lu Maofeng blushed and didn't know what to say, because he didn't know why Yang Fan suddenly said this and was a little at a loss.
Yang Fan smiled and said, "But everyone sees what Brother Lu did after he arrived at our Qianqi Guard. Brother Lu did not regard himself as an outsider. He did his best for our Qianqi. No matter what path Brother Lu came in, Brother Lu's talents and abilities are worthy of this general!
Brother Lu’s feelings for us Qianqi can also be called our brother! If others have any prejudices, Brother Lu should not take it to heart. As people’s hearts are seen over time, everyone will always understand that Brother Lu is. In fact, I have wanted to tell you this long ago, but what I said suddenly seems abrupt. Now I take this opportunity to have a heart to share with you."
Lu Maofeng burst into tears when he heard this. He did go to Er Zhang's path, but he had no backer in the army. Now Er Zhang is developed and his ancestors have had in-laws. There is no need to use this relationship. Why can't he use it? So Er Zhang asked him to recruit him and he agreed.
But the army is not as good as the place, and it is a system here, and the influence of the two Zhang is difficult to penetrate. He asked himself that his skills and talents are not inferior to others, and he is even more sincere for Qianqi. But there are always people looking at him with an alternative perspective, either he thinks that he must be inconsistent with the name after he goes, or he thinks that he is a spy traitor inserted by others.
For this reason, he had drunk a few drinks in private. He was so frustrated. Now Yang Fan's words made the man feel warm and tears couldn't help but shed.
Yang Fan did have an opinion of Lu Maofeng at first, although he was very close to him at that time. But he was purely using it at that time. But he watched coldly and gradually changed his perception of Lu Maofeng. Now he can still use the two relationships behind Lu Maofeng as long as he can, but he no longer regards Lu Maofeng as a pawn that is just used.
Yang Fan's words are indeed from the heart. The so-called true love is revealed in times of adversity. He can do that you can humiliate me and I will also hate me. That is his own brother. No matter what happens in the future, he will choose between Er Zhang and himself. But Yang Fan wants him to know: "If you treat me with sincerity, I will treat you with sincerity. Now, we are brothers!"

It was almost dusk when Xu Liang came back. The news he brought back was not good.
Wu Youyi is different from other Wu family members. He has always been the General of the Yulin Guard. He is in charge of the most elite of the imperial guards and the most trusted armed force of the emperor. He is already a prince in the title, and no matter whether it is real power or title, he has no need to be promoted or rewarded. He has no need to get involved in the dispute between the two martial arts.
Even though Wu Sansi gradually gained the upper hand among the two martial arts, the crown prince has been settled and the throne is no longer as Wu Sansi has, so there is no need for him to curry favor with King Liang. Because of these reasons, among the Wu family, he has gone far away from other brothers. Although he is a cousin, he and Wu Yizong are almost nodding. Is it necessary for him to stand up to the fool riding pig to smile for the sake of just being a nominal Qianqi under his name?
So he just politely promised Xu Liang that he could send someone to negotiate with Wu Yizong, hoping that Wu Yizong could let him go. But Xu Liang could naturally hear his faint tone. When he came back to say to Yang Fan, Yang Fan could only smile bitterly.
Wu Youyi was not reliable either. Everyone had no idea about it after discussing for a long time. The next morning, Yang Fan summoned Xu Liang, Lu Maofeng, Li Dayin, Lu Yan and other steady generals separately to discuss with them how to rescue Gao Chu and others.
Suddenly, a famous school came in and said a few words to Lu Maofeng. Lu Maofeng greeted Yang Fan and hurried back after half an hour of going out.
When Yang Fan saw that he seemed to have something to say to him, he took him into the tent. Lu Maofeng said, "My brother has sent me the news. From the beginning of the year, we have a total of sixteen brothers, all of whom were whipped and scolded by the King of Hanoi on a high rod, and they are still hanging high on the head of the rod."
"What?"
Yang Fan's body was shocked, his heart was furious, and the blue veins on his forehead became tense. He knew that Gao Chu and others would definitely be humiliated when they fell into the hands of Emperor Wu Yizong, but he did not expect that Emperor Wu Yizong would dare to lynch his own way, especially Gao Chu was still a brigade general, who was already a formal military general in the court.
Lu Maofeng said bitterly: "My brother said that he really couldn't take care of the Qianqi people. Even if he sent the news this time, he was a little embarrassed. I'm afraid... I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to say anything if he wanted to ask some news from there again!"
"Um!"
Yang Fan nodded slowly and lingered silently in the tent for a long time, his face was gloomy and unsure. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he seemed to have made a decision, and suddenly turned around and walked quickly towards the tent. Xu Liang and others were discussing in the tent. Suddenly, Yang Fan stepped in, his eyes were filled with anger. He couldn't help but stop and looked up at him.
Yang Fan said in a deep voice: "No need to discuss it, I'll go to Jinwu Guard to ask for someone!"
After a word came out, the four seats were silent. Last night, Chu Kuangge, Huang Xuchang and others were all shouting for the fight and killing. For this reason, they were summoned to them alone today. What happened? Why did Yang Fan himself become less calm? Xu Liang stood up and said, "No! The king of Hanoi is you, and he will not release anyone even if you go, but will make you humiliate again."
Yang Fan said: "Otherwise, what? Our Qianqi and Jinwu Guards are both imperial guards in the Northern Yaya. The Political Affairs Hall and the Ministry of War cannot manage them. The Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple cannot manage them. It would be a joke to look for Luoyang Prefecture. Could it be that if we ask the Censorate to impeach Wu Yizong?"
Xu Liang's eyes lit up and he said happily: "This is a solution!"
Yang Fan laughed angrily and said, "The problem is that when the censors sprayed their saliva into a pouring rain in the temple, Gao Chu had already been sunk into a mummy, and his wife who had not passed the door would also be watching the door!"
Xu Liang was shocked and said, "How could this be! Then... what should we do?"
