On September 21, Zhang Shouyu personally led the army to Fanyang City, and the brothers Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao, who were surrounded in the city, found that Zhang Shouyu's army was under the banner of the imperial court, and then they knew that Zhang Shouyu had returned to the imperial court.

After Liu Daoqian's persuasion, the two brothers Zhu Zhu and Zhu Tao had no choice but to accept Liu Daoqian's suggestion and send people out of the city to negotiate with Zhang Shouyu about returning to the imperial court.

It was Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian who went out of the city to negotiate, and when the two came to Zhang Shouyu's army, they found that the Mobei Army was well-groomed, the morale of the soldiers was strong, and they were all veterans, all of whom were awe-inspiring, which undoubtedly brought some pressure to Zhu Tao's psychology.

Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian were led by the captain of the barracks to the gate of the Chinese army, and Zhang Shouqi's youngest son Zhang Xianjing and Xue Song, the deputy general of the Mobei Army, stood at the gate of the Chinese army's tent and waited.

Xue Song hugged his fists at Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian and said, "But General Fan Yang Zhu Tao and Lord Liu, who joined the army?" ”

Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian both clenched their fists and responded: "It's the two of us, I don't know who the general is?" ”

"In Xiamo, the deputy general of the Northern Army, Xue Song!" Xue Song reported his official position and name, and introduced Zhang Xianjing beside him: "This is Zhang Xianjing, the major general of our Mobei Army!" ”

Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian hurriedly saluted Zhang Xian: "It turned out to be a major general, we are disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

Zhang Xianjing hugged his fists and saluted back: "General Zhu and Lord Liu don't need to be polite. My father is already waiting in the tent, so let's wait with me for a few days, please! ”

The group of people rushed in, and the entourage of Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian stayed outside.

Entering the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian met Zhang Shouyu, the king of Mobei who had been guarding Mobei for many years.

"Zhu Tao (Liu Daoqian) meets the prince of the county!" After the two saw Zhang Shouyu, they saluted and said.

Zhang Shouyu's face was withered, he didn't smile, a cold light shot out of his eyes, and he raised his hand: "General Zhu and Lord Liu don't have to be polite, please take a seat!" Come on, serve tea! ”

After speaking, he said to the two: "There are no good things in the army to entertain the two, they are all some coarse tea, and I hope the two of them will not dislike it!" ”

The two hurriedly said: "Where, where!" The prince of the county is polite! After speaking, the two sat down on the small stool next to them, and other generals and officials of the Mobei Army also took their seats.

When the tea was delivered, Zhang Shouyu didn't drag the mud and water, and said to Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian: "Since General Zhu and Lord Liu have come to discuss the surrender, this king will not hide it, and now General Zhu Zhu should be in charge of Fanyang City, right?" ”

Zhu Tao and the others nodded: "Yes!" ”

Zhang Shouyu pointed to a civil official sitting at the bottom left of him and introduced: "This is Lord Wen Haoran, the special envoy of the regent of the imperial court, the regent has already decreed that Lord Wen is fully responsible for the return of Fan Yangjun to the imperial court!" ”

Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian looked at Wen Haoran, this person was so young, but his expression was a little blank, but both of them knew that people should not be good-looking, so they immediately stood up and hugged their fists at Wen Haoran: "I've seen Master Wen!" ”

Wen Haoran got up and bowed back: "General Zhu and Lord Liu are polite!" The next discussion will be a direct dialogue between the two of you! ”

Wen Haoran was last year's Jinshi, thinking that he and Meng Chujun and the other three failed to pass the interview process because of the language barrier, or Zhao Ziliang was extra kind to let him and Meng Chujun be swordsmen in the regent palace, and because of Zhao Ziliang's encouragement, both of them used great perseverance and determination to get rid of the problem of stuttering, just imagine that a person who once suffered from stuttering is now actually doing negotiations, which is absolutely impossible in the eyes of others, but Wen Haoran and Meng Chujun are two living examples. When someone asks them how to get rid of their stuttering, they say that as long as you are not impatient, think clearly before speaking, and always remind yourself to pay attention, over time, the stuttering problem will be improved, and eventually the language ability will be the same as that of normal people, and some may be able to speak better than normal people.

After the two sides sat down again, Wen Haoran said to Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian: "General Zhu, Lord Liu, the regent clearly put forward the specific terms of the reduction of the feudal domain at the court meeting on the first day of the twelfth lunar month at the end of last year. ”

Liu Daoqian nodded hurriedly: "Understood, understood!" The imperial court has the rules of the imperial court, and the regent is a person who talks about the rules, we all know this, please explain it to us, General Zhu, what do you say? ”

Zhu Tao is cunning by nature, and at this moment his heart is active, he just nodded and did not make a sound.

Wen Haoran immediately began to introduce: "The regent divides the situation of cutting the feudal domain into four categories: the first category, within the time limit specified in the imperial edict, the general or official of the feudal town takes the initiative to submit a letter to the military and political power, and the imperial court will give special preferential treatment, not only has a large amount of financial rewards, but can also be promoted or leveled in the official position and title, but must be transferred to the court or transferred to other places, and the generals and soldiers under his command accept the reorganization of the imperial court, eliminate the old and weak, if there are no special circumstances, the generals will basically be retained at the same level, The specific arrangement depends on the results of the reorganization; In the second category, those who did not submit a letter to hand over the military and political power within the time limit stipulated by the imperial court, and the imperial court chose to surrender during the period of sending troops to conscript, the imperial court will be demoted to three levels of appointment, but must obey the transfer. The generals and soldiers under his command accepted the reorganization of the imperial court, eliminated the old and weak, and all the generals at the general level under his command were transferred to other places to be demoted to two levels! The third category, who did not submit a letter to hand over the military and political power within the prescribed time limit, and were sent to the city, if they wanted to surrender, they must surrender unconditionally, and the army accepted the reorganization of the imperial court and eliminated the old and weak. Some of them may be promoted, some may be demoted and appointed several levels in a row, and some may be persuaded to return to the field after receiving a reward, and the worst result is that there is no fear of life, only a retirement severance pay. In the fourth category, the feudal towns that did not hand over the military and political power within the specified period of time, but stubbornly resisted the imperial court, and did not have the slightest remorse, the imperial court sent heavy troops to ruthlessly exterminate them, and all the captured feudal generals and their officials and generals were killed and exterminated! The above are the specific regulations of the imperial court on cutting the feudal domain! General Zhu and Lord Liu, do you need further explanations from this officer? If you have any questions, you can ask them, and we will answer them one by one! ”

Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian glanced at each other, and Zhu Tao glanced at Liu Daoqian and motioned for him to speak. Liu Daoqian thought for a while and asked, "So in the opinion of Lord Wen, which category does our General Zhu belong to?" ”

Wen Haoran was expressionless: "Although General Zhu Jun took over Fan Yang for less than two months, and the imperial court did not issue an edict to him to hand over the military and political power, if he can take the initiative to write to the imperial court after Zhu Xicai's death, he can be counted in the first category." Now that the imperial army has arrived in the city, General Zhu Zhu can only be regarded as the third category, so you can only surrender unconditionally, and there are no other conditions to talk about! If you refuse, the court can only step on Fan Yang and dig up this poisonous sore! The regent once said to the Manchu Dynasty that the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji is already full of holes, and this king can only do his best to repair it now, if it really can't be repaired, then it will be demolished and rebuilt! These words have already shown the king's resolute attitude in the matter of cutting the domain, and no one should have any illusions! The two of you can go back and discuss with General Zhu Zhu, the official can wait for you here for three days, after three days, if General Zhu has not decided, the official will leave for Beijing to report to the king, and the army of the prince of the county will launch a fierce attack on Fanyang City! ”

Zhu Tao was a little anxious and looked at Liu Daoqian. Liu Daoqian motioned with his eyes to tell him not to worry, and then said to Wen Haoran: "Master Wen, can't you be accommodating?" You see, our General Zhu has only been in charge of Fan Yang for more than a month, and at the beginning, he was supposed to go to the court to return to the court, but during this time, he was fighting with Li Jin, and it was delayed! You see, if General Zhu can lead his troops to attack Li Ming, who has withdrawn to Yingzhou, and assist the imperial army to recover Youzhou and other places in Lulong, is it considered meritorious? Can I give preferential treatment? ”

Wen Haoran frowned, pondered for a moment and said: "This matter has to be considered by the official, and some things also need to be discussed with the King of Mobei, please rest here for another night, and the Japanese official will reply to the two of you tomorrow!" How is it? ”

After getting Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian's consent, Wen Haoran said to Zhang Shouyu: "Please ask the prince to arrange for General Zhu and Lord Liu to rest here for one night!" ”

"Well said!" Zhang Shouyu immediately instructed his youngest son Zhang Xianjing: "You go and arrange some, General Zhu and Lord Liu will try to meet any needs!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian were arranged in two tents by Zhang Xianjing, and the two got together to talk about the scene in the Chinese army's tent just now, Zhu Tao seemed a little anxious, and said to Liu Daoqian: "Mr. Liu, what should I do now?" If we submit to the imperial court, according to the rules of the imperial court, our fate will not be in our own hands. Who knows whether he will be transferred to another place or cut to the people, our brothers have spent so much effort to climb to this position, if I am asked to go back to be a farmer, I will be unwilling anyway! ”

Liu Daoqian comforted: "Second general, don't worry, there is no endless road." Later, the lower officials will pay a visit to Master Wen and see if they can make him accommodating."

At nightfall, Liu Daoqian came to Wen Haoran's camp under the leadership of a soldier, Wen Haoran waited for him to come in and let the soldier retreat, and then said to Liu Daoqian: "The lower official meets Lord Liu!" If it weren't for the fact that the adults disregarded life and death and entered the tiger's den alone, Youzhou and Lu Long didn't know when they would be able to return to the arms of the imperial court, please accept the bows of the lower officials! ”

Liu Daoqian knew that Wen Haoran was a person from the regent palace, and he was working beside Zhao Ziliang, although his official position was not high, he could see Zhao Ziliang every day, just like a eunuch could see the emperor at any time, this was not an advantage that most ministers did not have, he hurriedly pulled Wen Haoran up: "Lord Wen doesn't have to be like this, he is all for the king and the court, how can he do his best?" ”
