The negotiation between Hou Fangyu and Yang Qiu was not completed after all.

Because he was injured too much.

When Yang Qiu walked in front of him, Hou Fangyu had already fallen and was out of sight.

But this does not mean that he has done useless work in this battle.

A fierce battle that reached the extreme completely destroyed the little confidence that Yang Qiu and the soldiers in Qianzhou had originally maintained.

I don’t know, I’m really shocked.

Yang Qiu found the best doctor and saved Hou Fangyu's life. Then he personally brought the people to protect Hou Fangyu back to Fenghuang, and also brought information that Qianzhou had decided to defect to Chang'an.

However, it was not Yang Qiu who came to negotiate, but Yang Qiu's father, Yang Shi, the current governor of Qianzhou and the owner of the Yang family of Bozhou.

Afterwards, Chang'an sent Gongsun Changming to preside over this negotiation.

Today, Gongsun Changming has basically stepped down from the position of chairman of the intelligence committee and has become the emperor's full-time consultant, and his life is very leisurely.

For him, now he has achieved success and all his wishes come true.

Li Ze has left his marks of Gongsun Changming in almost all major events along the way, assisting a new king and a wise king. His great name will be left in history books. What else can Gongsun Changming ask for?

He even flatly rejected the position of Duke given to him by the emperor.

Nowadays, he has a calm and peaceful atmosphere. In addition to growing flowers, grass, drinking and writing books at home, his greatest pleasure is that he goes home to go home and laugh at this guy at such a long time and is still working hard.

Of course, as an emperor's consultant, the salary cannot be taken in vain. When it is time to take action, the salary must be taken. And no one will think that this old guy who is already unemployed really has no ability.

His influence on the emperor was still unparalleled in the Tang Dynasty.

This time the negotiation was dominated by him because Gongsun Changming's words basically represented the emperor's will. There were many things that others dared not make up, but he could.

Of course, negotiations are also a long process, and there are still many differences between Qianzhou and other places in the Tang Dynasty.

Hou Fangyu wanted to stay at Phoenix and wait for the negotiations to end, but Shi Zhuang ordered the powerful general to be sent back to Chang'an to recuperate.

No matter how good the doctor is or how convenient the medicinal materials are, he cannot compare with Chang'an.

Shi Zhuang didn't want his general to withdraw from the army because of his health!

After retirement, Hou Zhen originally stayed in the old house in Wuyi to spend his days in his retirement, but because of Hou Fangyu's serious injury, he also rushed to Chang'an.

In Chang'an, the Hou family naturally has its own big house.

Hou Fangyu probably never expected that after returning to Chang'an, the first person to come to see him was Ren Xiaonian, who had now held a position in the Ministry of War and had been idle.

Speaking of Ren Xiaonian's qualifications, they are no less than Hou Fangyu. However, if we compare the family backgrounds of both sides, Ren Xiaonian, who started from a cold and ascended from a small soldier, had a richer experience.

Hou Fangyu sighed very much about this person.

This person has to be brave and brave, and has strategy. Along the way, he has made many more achievements than himself.

The only disadvantage of this person is that he is too strong in fame and fortune.

This may be related to his original origin.

He wanted to make a name for himself.

Because he wanted to make a name for himself, after the Qin Zhao incident, he abandoned Zuo Xiaowei and defected to Li Hao, who was in need of manpower at that time. Li Hao was naturally very welcome to such a backbone general with rich experience in leading troops.

Because of Li Hao, Ren Xiaonian was transferred to the Right Qianniu Guard. Since then, he has turned against many of Zuo Xiaogu's friends back then. Although he has not become enemies, he has no contact with each other.

But what Ren Xiaonian did not expect was that he was indeed going smoothly in the Right Qianniu Guard, but his former best friend Jose chose to stay in the Zuo Xiaoguard, but he walked more smoothly and faster than him.

When Jose became the general of the Zuo Xiaogu, Ren Xiaonian's mentality was completely unbalanced.

You should know that Ren Xiaonian is better than Jose in terms of ability and military achievements. At that time, there were many rumors that Ren Xiaonian would return to Zuo Xiaowei as the general.

Actually, it's not all rumors.

Ren Xiaonian, Li Gan and Jose were one of the candidates back then.

They are all the most outstanding leading talents among the younger generation. In comparison, Jose is the least outstanding among the three. Like Ren Xiaonian, he was born in a big-headed soldier and had no strong background.

No one expected that Jose would win in the end.

It was precisely because of this mentality imbalance that Ren Xiaonian made the most wrong choice in the battle of Xiang Tanzhu Prefecture. He was jointly planned by Xiang Zhen, Liu Xinda, Ding Hao and others, and more than 10,000 Right Thousand Niu Guards failed.

If Shi Zhuang hadn't made a quick decision and sent troops without reporting Chang'an, the entire Right Qianniu Guard would have suffered. If he had come to this point, the situation in the south would have been devastated.

Ren Xiaonian, who made such a big mistake, was logically going to the military court and beheading him. But in the end, due to many political factors, this matter was suppressed.

Ren Xiaonian was transferred back to the Ministry of War and took up a position. Since then, no one has ever asked or cared about it, and he has become a person who has lived a life of hardship and is worse than death.

"Hurry up General Ren!" Hou Fangyu, who was lying on the bed, stood up and waved his hand repeatedly. The guards beside him quickly walked over and helped Ren Xiaonian up.

"General Ren, why is this?" Hou Fangyu sighed: "Sit and give General Ren tea."

Ren Xiaonian, who knelt in front of the bed and knocked three times at Hou Fangyu, got up, sat beside Hou Fangyu's bed, and lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Brother Hou, for killing Ji Zhijiang, and avenged my brothers Right Qianniu Guard. It's a pity that although Ren is thinking day and night, he wants to kill those enemies, he is powerless."

Hou Fangyu shook his head: "Big Dog, are you doing well now?"

After asking this sentence, Hou Fangyu suddenly felt a little regretful. Isn’t this a waste of time? He was stabbing someone’s heart with a knife.

Sure enough, Ren Xiaonian smiled bitterly and said, "I will not hide it from Brother Hou, Ren thought he was a person who would die, but Your Majesty did not order me to be killed and left me in Chang'an without asking any questions. Even if I wanted to commit suicide, I would not dare to suffer every day." m

"Did you do it if the Ministry of War has not assigned anything?" Hou Fangyu frowned and said, "All positions and responsibilities of the Tang Dynasty correspond to their powers and responsibilities. Since you have a position, you will naturally have affairs."

Ren Xiaonian shook his head: "Although I go to the Ministry of War to click Mao every day, the Ministry of War doesn't even have a chair. After clicking Mao, I sat in the yard and waited for the day to pass."

Hou Fangyu looked at Hou Xiaonian with a tragic expression, and felt that such punishment was much more painful than killing Ren Xiaonian with one knife.

The Ministry of War has many people coming and going every day. Such a senior general sits in the yard regardless of wind, rain, dew and sun, forming a sharp contrast with other busy people. Even those who don’t know Ren Xiaonian will inquire about the origin of this person. Once they find out, they are afraid that there will be no good colors for him.

I really don’t know how Ren Xiaonian survived the look and expressions of people every day. But seeing his withered face and haggard face is already evident.

"It's not a solution for you to continue like this." Hou Fangyu said: "On the battlefield, everyone may make mistakes. No matter what the reason is, you have to think of a way out."

"Now that I am like this, even if Your Majesty no longer blames me, who dares to ask me?" Ren Xiaonian shook his head and said.

Hou Fangyu was also silent.

You should know that Ren Xiaonian is a general of the Central Army and is on par with his position. After the battle in Xiangtan, he did not deal with Ren Xiaonian because of this matter, so naturally there was no reason to remove him from his position. It was really not appropriate to place him anywhere.

After thinking about it, Hou Fangyu suddenly remembered something and said, "The day before yesterday, General Li Hao is now rectifying the navy. It is said that he is going to send troops to Malacca, control the Strait of Malacca and develop surrounding islands. You have a good relationship with General Li Hao, why not go to him? There is no place for you to stay in the Tang Dynasty. Beyond the Tang Dynasty, you can still show your strength."

"Where do I have the face to find General Li Hao? And I can't settle it even if I go."

"You might as well write to Your Majesty. Even if you are demoted, you are willing to go to where Li Hao is commanded. Where Li Hao is commanded, there are many people who are familiar with naval warfare, but that area is not just about naval warfare, but there are also many lands that need people to fight and occupy." Hou Fangyu said: "I have to give it a try. I will also give you a memorial. By the way, Jose has a greater face now than me. You have always had a good relationship with him. You might as well ask him to post a memorial to tell you."

Looking at Ren Xiaonian's appearance, Hou Fangyu continued, "It's a pity to treat a dead horse as a living horse. You can get through the look of people when you go to the Ministry of War every day to see people and be ridiculed. Are you still afraid that Your Majesty will blame him? Even if Your Majesty really blames you and deal with you with severe punishment, I think it's much better than your current situation."

Hearing this, Ren Xiaonian was moved.

Yes, maybe Your Majesty has forgotten himself, he is a general of the Central Army, and he is still qualified to write a letter. Even if His Majesty remembers his sins again and finds a fault on the road of Thunder to destroy himself, then he can be considered a kindness and benevolence, which is better than living now.

What I fear most is that I am now, I don’t understand or understand.

He took a deep breath, stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Hou for your advice. After I go back, I will write to you."

"Don't panic, I'll write a letter to Jose first. He, I'll write a letter first, and you'll write a letter. Maybe the effect will be better." Hou Fangyu said.

"Brother Hou, if Ren Xiaonian can stand up again this time, you will be my reborn parent."
