Chapter 472: Being a magistrate
In the face of the vicious pounce of the two enemy generals, Tao Ziyun, who has immortal skills that ordinary people do not have, did not hurt the killer, but just used his strength to deal with the enemy general on the left with his left hand and left foot, and used his right hand and right foot to deal with the enemy general on the right, and resolved their capture moves one by one!
"It's a joke that two generals can't succeed in dealing with a messenger soldier. Stand down, let me come!" said the enemy commander, jumping between the three men who were busy fighting, and pushing two of his men away.
Tao Ziyun calmly fought with the enemy's main general, and laughed at the other party in a timely manner: "I think, there is no one in your circle country, knowing that I am a small bookbearer, and the two of you come to deal with me with more and less to bully less, and now you, the master, will deal with me, a bookbearer, and bully the small with the big, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
After a few hard moves, the enemy's main commander eased his hands and feet, and asked Tao Ziyun in frustration: "Then what do you want!?"
Tao Ziyun exerted his strength on par with the enemy's commander, patiently maneuvered, and at the same time firmly said to the enemy's commander: "What else? You have to transfer our peace treaty to your king, so that your king will accept our terms of the peace talks, and if you don't agree, then fight to the death!"
The enemy commander was silent and did not immediately answer Tao Ziyun. The two generals under him, seeing that their main general could not be attacked for a long time, could not help but look at each other on the ground, thinking about it, they beckoned the soldiers standing in the camp tent, ready to rush up and capture Tao Ziyun alive.
Seeing his subordinates surrounding, the enemy commander jumped out of the battle circle with Tao Ziyun and shouted to his subordinates: "Forget it! You all step down for me! We will send the peace negotiation treaty sent by this messenger to the king to see, and let the king come to make up his mind!"
"Haha, count yourself on your acquaintance! Let your king make up his mind, that is, let him take responsibility, and you will suffer less. Tao Ziyun said. Stepping towards the door of the tent, "This herald has returned, if I can't wait for your news, it will not be you who will attack us, but we will attack you." ”
"Within ten days, I will give you an answer, and if the king does not deal with this matter in time, we will withdraw our troops, regardless of the affairs of this side. Behind Tao Ziyun came the frustrated voice of the enemy general.
Tao Ziyun rode out of the enemy barracks, and saw the moss jade outside the gate, the rain yuan in the maze and Lu Chahua: "You are also here!"
"Why did it take so long for you to come out? "We're here to find out the news, and if you're in danger inside, we'll get in in time. ”
"Peace talks are subject to the consent of their kings, and now they can be negotiated wherever they can. You have to be patient in this matter, let's go back, go back to the border city and wait for news. Tao Ziyun got off the horse, took the reins, and walked with them to the border city.
On the ninth day after that, the enemy's commander in chief took a group of men with him. Early in the morning, they came to the outside of the city on the edge of the circle and shouted, saying that their king had agreed to the peace talks, and now they had come to invite the people of the Qing Dynasty to their military camp to discuss the details.
He Lushi discussed with them. Jue decided to let Prince Jin represent the Qing court to conduct peace talks. At Zuo Zongtang's request, Prince Jin brought Zuo Zongtang and Li Bao, as well as some ordinary officers and soldiers, to follow the enemy's commander. Went to the enemy camp.
In the evening, Prince Jin and Zuo Zongtang returned to the circle of border cities with relaxed expressions, and He Lushi couldn't wait to ask about the results. Only then did Prince Jin proudly reply: "The treaty signed this time has been signed in accordance with the terms and conditions previously drawn up, with a lot of details added. ”
He Lushi took the signed treaty from Prince Jin, and after reading it, he was ecstatic: "Now, we can return to the court!"
Prince Jin happily reminded He Lushi and said: "General He, it is not possible for the division to return to the dynasty now, we must wait until we receive their indemnity and the first year's tribute, and then return their commander and the border city to them, so that we can return to the dynasty with peace of mind." ”
"Haha! That's good news, it's worth the wait!" replied He Lushi nonchalantly.
The days of waiting for good news pass quickly, and in He Lushi's hearts, it seems that they will soon wait. After counting the gold, silver, and tribute sent by the Quanfang Kingdom, they released the commander of the enemy army who had been locked up for many days, and withdrew from the border city. Leaving the soldiers who originally guarded the grassland pass, they continued to guard the recovered city, and the soldiers who went out this time, with that batch of gold, silver and tribute, embarked on the road back to the dynasty.
The generals who went on this expedition were warmly received by the emperor and gave them various rewards and promotions.
It is worth mentioning that Zuo Zongtang was appointed by the emperor as the military department.
In addition, Prince Jin only accepted the yellow robe and horse coat given by the emperor, and the emperor thought of several vacancies in official positions in the court and wanted him to fill the appointment, but they were all rejected by Prince Jin, who currently only has a title and no actual position.
The emperor was surprised and asked Prince Jin why he was like this, and the reason Prince Jin said made Tao Ziyun angry and annoyed: "I have a holiday with Tao Ziyun, the superintendent of the imperial history, I am in the court, I am afraid that I will be impeached by him again, I want to have peace of mind, it is better not to do it." ”
Tao Ziyun replied angrily to Prince Jin: "As long as you don't do bad things, I have no reason to impeach you, you are afraid that I will impeach you, which means that you have bad intentions and will not be able to give you an official position." ”
"I am a military general, suitable for going to the battlefield to fight, no matter whether I do a good job as an official in the DPRK and China, with you Tao Ziyun here, I still guard the border pass, I don't want to be an official in the same dynasty as you. "Prince Jin still refuses to forgive.
"If the war at the border pass resumes and you go to war, no one will find it strange, but now that there is nothing to do at the border pass, in order to keep you from disobeying the holy order, I still ask for an external transfer and let you serve in the court! I hope that in the future, you will be able to do a good job in the official position appointed by the emperor. Tao Ziyun said this to Prince Jin, turned to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, in order to make Prince Jin feel at ease as an official in the court, Weichen is willing to be transferred abroad to be a magistrate." ”
Tao Ziyun's request caused an exclamation among his colleagues, and they all asked Prince Jin to tolerate it, saying that even if there are thousands of contradictions, they should retain their prejudices, and it is okay to have grudges against officials in the same dynasty.
Tao Ziyun figured it out, to be a magistrate, and it is also a common thing to go to the place to have a look: "Thank you for the kindness of your colleagues, don't embarrass Prince Jin, I'll go to be a magistrate." ”
The emperor saw that Prince Jin had not expressed his position, so he said to Tao Ziyun: "Okay, quasi-Tao Aiqing, the post of supervising the imperial history of Jiangnan Province is currently vacant, Tao Aiqing will go to Jiangnan and do the local supervision of the imperial history!"
