Hope for luck

Chapter 399
In the camp of the army under Yuan Fangjun's command, several mid-level generals gathered together at this moment, discussing something.

"Why didn't the general come out so late? Will anything happen?"

"Probably not? Our general is full of courage. I don't believe that people in the city dare to do anything to the general."

"It's hard to say. The general brought 100 people in. If he did something, the general would be hard-pressed."

"But the general ordered us to retreat ten miles. How could something happen? Are you worrying too much?"

"..."

Several generals discussed and discussed, and no one could convince anyone. Their team of officers and soldiers gathered temporarily was formed by officers and soldiers from all over the south of the Yangtze River, Huining, and all the generals had problems with their leadership.

It's just because during the war, everyone is under the jurisdiction of one person, just like Cui Fujin, the escaped commander, who is only a temporary official.

The army led by Yuan Fangjun was even more complicated. There were soldiers from Jiangnan and Huining, but Yuan Fangjun was not there, not even the deputy general Yuan Fangjun set up, so these generals would not obey anyone.

Everyone discussed for a long time, but they didn't agree on a reason. In the end, they went back to the camp separately. As for what happened to Yuan Fangjun, they didn't want to worry too much. It would be good to manage the people in their own camp.

The next day, when they were about to send people to check the situation outside the city, they saw many refugees and beggars coming to their camp to beg.

Many generals were originally unwilling to talk to them. It can be seen that these refugees and beggars have been staying in front of the camp.

But in the afternoon, when these refugees came again, the generals became a little annoyed and prepared to drive them out forcibly.

However, they were stopped by the county yamen who came just in time, and these yamen drove away these refugees and beggars for them.

He also explained to these generals that many hungry people and refugees appeared in Dantang County because of the rebel riots, so they should not be nervous. After hearing this, the generals were relieved and no longer thought about it.

But it was the same on the first day, and it was still the same on the second day. Some generals couldn't bear it anymore, and directly ordered that if these refugees and beggars dared to approach, they would be killed.

Just when this order was about to take effect, another yamen sent a message, saying that they had obeyed Yuan Fangjun's words and asked them to transport the money to the city. Yuan Fangjun wanted to use the money for food to help these refugees and beggars.

The generals were very surprised when they heard this. They knew exactly what kind of person Yuan Fangjun was, and they suddenly became merciful?How can it be?

But according to what the yacha said, as long as Yuan Fangjun helped these refugees and beggars, their camp would not be disturbed again.

The generals thought about it, and felt that the money belonged to Yuan Fangjun, and he had the final say on how to use it. Besides, they would not say anything more if they could let these hateful refugees leave.

Without further ado, they asked people to hand over some of Yuan Fangjun's belongings on the cart to these county government officials and transport them into the county seat.

And that afternoon, those refugees and beggars never showed up again, and the generals breathed a sigh of relief that they could finally feel more at ease.

On the third day, they saw Gao Guangcheng coming from afar and came here with 1000 troops.

Everyone just had a face-to-face meeting, and Gao Guangcheng led the people into the city. As for why they went into the city, these generals didn't want to know.

That afternoon, I heard Yuan Fangjun's 'order' again, saying that Liu Yuanliang had been arrested, and wanted some concubines to help out, and asked them to send all those women to the city, and at the same time invited them to the city for a banquet.

The generals were a little happy when they heard this, and they didn't doubt that this was not Yuan Fangjun's order at all, they just assumed that they didn't come here in vain.

Without further ado, all the women that Yuan Fangjun had captured from various places were sent into the city. In the evening of that year, several of their generals also took off their military uniforms and went to the city for a banquet.

In Xiangmanlou, the largest restaurant in Dantang County, there were banquets and banquets, and the scene was extremely lively.

In the main hall of Xiangmanlou, a stage was set up, and some people performed folk art on it, and there were some members who looked very wealthy in the audience.

Seeing this, several generals became even more suspicious, they came to Yuan Fangjun's door, through a veil, they could vaguely see that Yuan Fangjun was having a drink with a group of women.

Someone stopped them at the door and told them that General Yuan Fangjun was in high spirits and they should not go in to disturb them. He also conveyed Yuan Fangjun's intention to let them eat and drink well.

He led them to their respective private rooms, where there were already women with heavy makeup and gorgeous makeup waiting for them.

Seeing this, the generals were even more carried away. As long as General Yuan Fangjun allows it, what else can they say?

Besides, Liu Yuanliang was arrested, they naturally understood how much credit this was, and it was reasonable for Yuan Fangjun to be so happy.

Naturally, these generals could not have imagined that everything in Xiangmanlou was an illusion, only Yuan Fangjun behind the gauze curtain was real.

However, at this moment, Yuan Fangjun was staggering, his eyes were closed, his face was blue, and he didn't have any consciousness at all.

Several generals saw Yuan Fangjun drinking with many women outside the house because of visual illusion, but a few women deliberately circled around Yuan Fangjun, looking through the gauze curtain at the door, it seemed that Yuan Fangjun was also moving. Yuan Fangjun didn't move at all.

……

"Fifth brother, I didn't expect that you have changed so much in just half a year, and what I didn't expect was that Yuan Fangjun, who made Jing Xihou helpless, would fall into your hands and be tricked by you." I've been going around and I still don't know..."

On the third floor of Xiangmanlou, Gao Guangcheng, who had seen everything before his eyes, looked at Gao Pan with emotion and said.

At this time, Gao Pan was able to get out of bed and walk around, but he still looked a little weak, being supported by Gao Ming beside him.

After Gao Pan heard Gao Guangcheng's words, he waved his hand slightly and said:

"Brother, Yuan Fangjun did it on his own. The harm he caused to the common people is worse than that of the rebels. If he didn't have a legitimate reason for his actions this time, otherwise, I will definitely let him be unable to continue defending the south of the Yangtze River."

Gao Guangcheng was stunned when he heard the words, and then looked at Gao Pan with admiration, but Gao Pan hurriedly introduced Gao Ming to Gao Guangcheng:

"Brother, last time you left in a hurry, I forgot to introduce you. This is the seventh brother whom I recognized last year...Seventh brother, this is the eldest brother Gao Guangcheng."

Last time, due to many reasons, Gao Ming didn't have time to work with Gao Guangcheng, so Gao Ming complained about Gao Pan.

This time, after the misunderstanding was resolved, Gao Pan took Gao Ming with him and formally introduced him to Gao Guangcheng. After all, they are real brothers.
