"That's right, I've been fishing by the banks of the Han River all day long, but I haven't seen any boats carrying officers and soldiers." The other high-ranking officer was also confused, thus he agreed.
The two men's words caused the generals under the hall to nod their heads in agreement. At the same time, everyone under the hall began to speak at once with a buzz of conversation.
"Everyone, please quiet down. Today, I, the county governor, have to explain the sequence of events clearly before everyone will understand." Seeing that the crowd was clamoring, Yang Duohe raised his voice and shouted to the crowd.
When everyone heard Yang Duohe's words, they all stopped talking and stood quietly to the side, waiting for Yang Duohe to speak.
Seeing that the crowd had quieted down, Yang Duohe slowly said, "The reason why I called everyone here today is not because of an enemy invading my place of supremacy, but because I have an old friend that I need your help with."
Old friends? When everyone heard Yang Duohe speak of this, they were all even more confused. They were all wondering just who this old friend Yang Duohe spoke of could be. Since this old friend wanted to meet up with him, he had unexpectedly put up such a strong front. Since the city had been peaceful for so many years, the arrival of this old friend must not be a simple matter.
Yang Duohe saw that everyone's face was filled with confusion, so he did not hide anything and said, "Back then, we were accepted as mediocre people, and we also led my soldiers to battle in the north. This is the General Fan who made great contributions, and is here to pay our respects to everyone."
Just as Yang Duohe finished speaking, Fan Zhizheng followed his words and walked out of the inner hall. He walked straight to the side of Yang Duohe, who was sitting on the county governor's seat.
At this moment, everyone had yet to react to Yang Duan's words about who the great general Fan was. In the midst of their bewilderment, they suddenly saw Fan Yicheng standing on the county governor's seat with his head held high and his chest puffed out. It was just that Fan Yicheng's arrival had been too sudden and his appearance had been too sudden. Although everyone had recognized him, they were all shocked and didn't know what to do with their mouths wide open.
Yang Duan and Fan Hezheng, seeing that Fan Xian had already walked to their side, respectfully retreated from the seat of honor. Walking straight to the foot of the hall, they knelt down towards the two of them and shouted, "Don't pay respect to the Grand General and the eldest young master."
When the generals saw Yang Duohe's action, they finally came to their senses, and knelt down as well, and said, "General …" Greetings to the Great General and the Young Master. " However, the names of the crowd differed. When they simultaneously spoke, it was so chaotic that it was impossible to clearly hear their names.
"Generals, you've worked hard. Please get up." In the middle of the upper hall, Fan Yuzhen stood at the side of Cheng, speaking out on behalf of the generals.
When everyone heard Fan Xian's words, they stood up as well. They stood on both sides of Cheng and Fan Yu's seats.
"Back then, when my soldiers attacked Chu, they suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of King Chuchu, causing the armies to fall apart and all of them to flee. Fortunately, General Fan accepted us back then, so we were able to enjoy today's food and clothing." "I, Yang, and my generals will never forget General Fan's kindness of accepting them until their deaths." Seeing that everyone was standing in a row, Yang Duohe helped Fan Yuzhen open up the topic for everyone.
Ai, Brother Yang is too serious, "Fan Yu felt a little embarrassed as he saw Yang Duan and the others try to win the hearts of the people, but he went along with Yang Duan's words," A mediocre country's subjects already have a hundred years of foundation, but unfortunately, it was destroyed in the middle of the night, all the knowledgeable people in the world will pity them, I, Fan, will accept all of you, it was nothing more than lifting my hand, you guys don't even have anything to worry about. "
"General, your words are wrong. The so-called grace that people get when they are taken in is a rebirth of grace. Since we are taken in by the general, our lives belong to you. As long as you say the word, General, we will not hesitate to go through fire and water!" Since Yang Duohe had said those words, he naturally wanted to win the general's gratitude.
"Going through fire and water without any hesitation!"
The commoners were a bunch of righteous warriors who would repay kindness with kindness and sacrifice their lives. Therefore, once Yang Duan and his words came out, all the generals echoed his words with firm voices.
"It is my fortune to be able to make friends with all of you. Back then, when I led you to attack Zhao together with Brother Yang, I relied on the courage of a mediocre man like you to pull out all nine cities of the country of Zhao without fear of death, to make Zhao Jun fear the consequences of his actions, and to ensure that the mediocre army truly deserves to be called the Army of God!" Fan Yuzhu was looking forward to seeing the high-ranking officers' high morale, fearless expressions, and impressive military positions. He couldn't help but admire them.
"This is all thanks to the great general leading his troops. This is why our superior troops are able to grow braver with each battle, attacking the enemy, Bak." When one of the high-ranking officers heard Fan Yuchen's words, he gave Fan Yuzhen the credit.
"Hey, this brother is too modest. No matter how well the commanding officer does, we still need to rely on the soldiers who don't fear the morale of the enemy and rob them in order to succeed or fail." Fan Xian shook his head, and tried to change it.
Yang Duan saw the two of them rejecting each other, so he laughed and said: "In my opinion, General Fan and I should be doing the same thing."
Yang Duohe's words were intended to be a satisfactory explanation, so the moment he said those words, someone in the hall echoed, "What General Yang said makes sense. According to what I said, everyone should be rewarded." Hearing the man's words, Yang Duohe raised his head and only realized what had happened. He had only helped Fan Yuzhu to win over some people, but he had forgotten about the most important person.
Yang Duohe hurriedly kowtowed to Cheng Yu, who was in the hall, "We are indeed unjustly deserving of Young Master's generous rewards."
When the generals heard Yang Duohe's words, they were wondering if this young master was the Chang An Juncheng who wanted to seize the throne from Ying Zheng. Fan Yuzhan also knelt down and said, "I am incompetent, and I want young master to suffer the pain of exile. Please forgive me, young master."
When Cheng Yu Chen heard this, he smiled and said, "What is the meaning of this, General Fan? Cheng Yu is just a troubled crown prince, there is no need to be so courteous."
Before he could finish his words, all the generals knew that this was Changan Jun after seeing him kneel down. They too followed suit and knelt down, clasping their fists as they said, "We wait for your return, Young Master."
Before Cheng Yu Chen could get up, so many people kneeled down and stretched out their hands: "Heroes, please wake up. Cheng Yu Chen is suffering from such a solemn ceremony."
When everyone heard this, at first they did not dare to stand up on their own accord. After all, in terms of seniority, Cheng was above Ying Zheng. However, everyone's hearts were in suspense because they knew that Cheng Jiang had long since died in the village, and now, he was actually alive and well in front of everyone. It was truly inconceivable.
Fan Yuzhen knew that all the generals had the same question as Yang Duan, so he stood up and said, "Fellow brothers, listen to the words of the eldest young master, stand up and speak first."
With these words, the generals looked around to see that everyone had the intention to ask them to rise. Only then did they slowly stand up.
After everyone had stood up, Fan Yicheng continued, "I know that everyone has doubts in their minds, and the eldest young master has come here today to tell everyone the truth. In fact, the eldest young master was not killed all those years ago. The one who had helped him to death was just a servant, while the eldest young master had always been living in seclusion in Rao Yang of the State of Zhao. To tell you the truth, I have come today precisely for the matter of Young Master Chang's restoration. "
When everyone heard Fan Yuzhen say the word "reset", they couldn't help but be shocked. Saying such a thing was definitely an extraordinary thing. Everyone knew that, in other words, taking the throne that originally belonged to him was a righteous act, but in reality, it was a crime to rebel against the army.
So at this moment, everyone was looking at each other, not knowing what to do, until one of the high ranking officers couldn't help but say: "General Fan, that year, Ying Zheng held the upper hand over the issue of seizing the line. Now that the eldest young master has settled down, why doesn't he just settle this matter and live a good life, only to have to fight for it?" Furthermore, so many years have passed since this incident, and even if we wanted to do so, I'm afraid the soldiers would not be willing to comply. "
"Brother, you are right indeed," said Fan Yuzhen, knowing how important it was to start a rebellion, and that it was only reasonable for this soldier to have such doubts, so he spoke to the crowd in his well-prepared speech, "but do you know that the government is not the blood of the late king, but the evil son of the traitor Lu Buwei?"
"What?!" The moment Fan Yuchen's words came out, all the generals present turned pale with fright, and hurriedly asked. Is what General Fan said true? "
"This is absolutely true. Back then, apart from Lu Buwei, Zhao Ji, Lao Ai, and the others, I was the only one who knew about this. But now, these people have all been executed by Ying Zheng, and I'm the only one who knows the truth." Fan Yuzhu let out a sigh of relief, "That's why the eldest young master decided to fight for the throne of the Qinguo Kingdom all those years ago."
The Great Qin Nation is a power that has existed for hundreds of years, it is impossible for me to give my hand to anyone else. Although I am an unfilial person, in the end, I am still a descendant of the Great Qin Empire. How can I just watch as the ancestral temple of the Qin Nation is born with a different name?" At this time, Cheng Yu also followed the lead and spoke in a indignant tone.
"If this is true, then everyone in the world will be deceived by the Lu family. How can we just sit idly by and do nothing?" One of the generals, seeing that Fan Yicheng and Cheng were both serious, felt that their words would not be false, so he stood up and spoke first.
"That's right, as long as the Eldest Young Master and General Fan give the order, we will act on behalf of the heavens and die!" When the generals heard their leader's words, they stood up and followed.
"Execute justice on behalf of the Heavens, that's what comes after death!" All the generals were now full of passion and righteous indignation, and so they spoke in unison.
"Well said!"
Just as everyone was in a state of excitement, a firm and forceful voice came from outside the door, interrupting the boiling atmosphere. It was a powerful sound that went straight through the hall and into the ear of ChenDuo.
"Who is it?!" When Fan Yuzheng heard this sound, he was immediately shocked. He had expected that today's meeting with the commoner generals would be a plot against them. If someone leaked this secret, wouldn't they all be slaughtered?
All the generals were also panic-stricken. With a "sou" sound, they all drew their swords and pointed the tips of their swords outside the hall. They would naturally have this instinctive reaction to self-preservation before it was decided whether or not they were friends.
"Hahaha, it has been a few days since we last met General Fan, yet you can't even recognize my voice?" The person outside the door only let out a hearty laugh before breaking down the door and entering the room.
Hearing that person's words, Fan Yuzhen thought to himself, that person's voice was indeed very familiar, but the matter today was very important, so before he could see it clearly, he didn't dare to make any rash moves.
That person's laughter entered through the door and gradually became clearer. That was because he was slowly walking in.
The two shadows on the ground before the threshold lengthened and shortened until they lost the light of the moon.
At this moment, that person had already entered the hall, yet another figure was following beside him.
Everyone drew their swords and faced each other. Their eyes closely examined the two uninvited guests from head to toe. The one who entered was a white-clothed gongzi with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. The one that followed behind was a red-clothed female. Her eyebrows were thin and her waist was slender, and her lips were jade-like.
The white clad guard looked at the crowd, who were eyeing him with hostility and looking extremely cautious. He raised his head and smiled to Fan Yu Yun who was standing in the middle of the hall: "What? Since General Fan is in such a state, you don't seem to welcome me? "
When Fan Yuzhen heard that person's words and looked again, he realized that this person was not as good as he had expected. This person was none other than the eldest disciple of the Mo family who had been separated from him by Rao Yang, Tian Gan!
"Aiyaya, bro Tian Gan!" When Fan Yuzhen saw that Tian Gan had arrived, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He quickly rushed down from the hall, heading straight for Tian Gan.
Seeing that Fan Yuzhen was in such a rush, everyone knew from the expression on his face that he was an old friend, so they put their swords back in their scabbards and stepped back to make way for him.
Fan Yicheng rushed to Tian Gan's side from the gap that the crowd had opened, his face was full of joy, he sized Tian Gan up, and seeing that he was completely unharmed, he couldn't help but rejoice, and then placed his hands on Tian Gan's shoulders, saying: "Hehehe, my good brother, why are you here?"
Tian Gan revealed a smile and said, "Tian Gan and the two of you already had an agreement that day, so how could you miss it?"
"Good, good, good." Good, good, good. At this moment, Fan Yuzhen was gathering a large group of people to discuss his grand plan. Coincidentally, Tian Gan happened to arrive just in time, and like a tiger adding wings, he quickly said, "Seeing that you're safe and sound, big brother will be at ease."
With a smile on his face, Tian Gan turned his head to look at the woman in red beside him. He said, "The reason why Tian Gan was able to get away was all because of Miss Chong Li."
Fan Yicheng followed Tian Gan's gaze and sized up Zhong Li beside him, praising him profusely: "Lady Zhong Li is indeed a heroine, a heroine. I, Fan, am in awe."
After being treated so courteously by Fan Yuzheng, how could he have the face to do so? He straightforwardly said: "General Fan is too kind. I, Chong Li, am only doing my best."
