On September 21, Zhang Shouyu personally led his troops to Fanyang City.
The brothers Zhu Si and Zhu Tao, who were surrounded in the city, discovered that Zhang Shouyu's army was under the banner of the imperial court, and they knew that Zhang Shouyu had surrendered to the imperial court.
After Liu Daoqian's persuasion, brothers Zhu Si and Zhu Tao had no choice but to accept Liu Daoqian's suggestion and sent people out of the city to negotiate with Zhang Shouyu about surrendering to the imperial court.
It was Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian who left the city to negotiate.
When they came to Zhang Shouyu's army, they found that the Mobei Army had a neat appearance, the soldiers had high morale, and they were all veterans.
Each of them had an awe-inspiring look.
This undoubtedly brought some psychological impact to Zhu Tao. pressure.
Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian were led by the military camp captain to the entrance of the Chinese army's tent.
Zhang Shougui's youngest son Zhang Xianjing and Mobei Army deputy general Xue Song stood waiting at the entrance of the Chinese army's tent.
Xue Song clasped his fists at Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian and said, "But General Zhu Tao of Fan Yang and Mr.
Liu who joined the army as a record officer" Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian both clasped their fists and raised their hands in response: "It's just the two of us.
I don't know who the general is."
"I'm here with Xue Song, the deputy general of the Mobei Army."
Xue Song reported his official position and name, and then introduced Zhang Xianjing next to him: "This is our Mobei Army Major General Zhang Xianjing."
Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian hurriedly saluted Zhang Xianjing: "It turns out he is a major general.
We are disrespectful and disrespectful."
Zhang Xianjing cupped his fists and returned the salute: "General Zhu and Master Liu don't need to be polite.
My father is already waiting in the tent.
You two can wait with me for a few days, please."
The group of people filed in, while the soldiers accompanying Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian stayed outside.
Entering the Chinese army's tent, Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian met Zhang Shouyu, the King of Mobei who had guarded Mobei for many years.
Although Zhang Shouyu was old, Zhang Shouyu still had bright eyes and good spirits, and his temperament was quite similar to that of his elder brother Zhang Shougui.
The style of the year.
"Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian pay their respects to the prince," the two said after meeting Zhang Shouyu.
Zhang Shouyu had a haggard face and an unsmiling expression.
A cold light shone from his eyes.
He raised his hand and said, "General Zhu and Mr.
Liu, you are welcome.
Please take a seat.
Come over and serve tea."
After speaking, he said to the two of them: "There is nothing good in the army to entertain you.
It's just some coarse tea.
I hope you don't dislike it."
The two people hurriedly said: "Where are you, the prince is so polite?"
After saying that, 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 did not hesitate and said to Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian: "Since General Zhu and Master Liu have come to discuss the surrender, I will not be secretive.
It should be General Zhu Si who makes the decision in Fanyang City now." " Zhu Tao and the other two nodded: "Yes" Zhang Shouyu pointed to a civil servant sitting on his lower left and introduced: "This is Mr.
Wen Haoran, the special envoy of the regent of the imperial court.
The regent has already issued an order.
Mr.
Wen is fully responsible for Fan Yangjun's surrender to the imperial court."
Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian took a look at Wen Haoran.
He was so young, but his expression was a little dull.
However, they both knew that people should not be judged by their appearance, so they immediately stood up and raised their fists to Wen Haoran: "I have met Mr.
Wen."

Wen Haoran stood up and bowed his hands in return: "General Zhu and Mr.
Liu are polite.
The next discussion will be discussed directly between me and the two of you."
Wen Haoran was a Jinshi last year.
I think when he, Meng Chujun and three other people failed the interview process because of language barriers, Zhao Ziliang was extra gracious and allowed him and Meng Chujun to work as swordsmen and pen clerks in the Regent's Palace.
And because of Zhao Ziliang's encouragement, the two of them All With great perseverance and determination, I got rid of my stuttering problem.
Imagine that a person who once suffered from stuttering is now engaged in negotiation.
This is absolutely impossible in the eyes of others, but Wen Haoran and Meng Chujun are two of them.
A living example.
When someone asked them how to get rid of their stuttering problem, they said 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 will improve.
Their abilities are the same as those of normal people, and some may be more eloquent than normal people.
After the two parties took their seats again, Wen Haoran said to Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian: "General Zhu, Lord Liu, the regent clearly proposed the specific terms for reducing the vassal state at the court meeting on the first day of the twelfth lunar month at the end of last year.
I am now going to Let me tell you two of these terms one by one.
The conditions to be negotiated for surrender must be negotiated within the scope of these terms and cannot be exceeded."
Liu Daoqian nodded quickly: "I understand, I understand that the imperial court has its own rules.
The regent is a man of rules.
We all know this.
Please explain it to us, Mr.
Wen.
General Zhu, what do you think?"
Zhu Tao was a cunning person by nature.
At this moment, his mind started to move.
He just nodded without making a sound.
Wen Haoran immediately began to introduce: "The regent divided the situation of reducing the vassal into four categories: the first category, within the time limit specified by the imperial edict, if the general or official of the vassal town takes the initiative to submit a letter to hand over military and political power, the imperial court will give special preferential treatment.
Not only are there a large number of financial rewards, but they can also be promoted or transferred in official positions and titles, but they must be transferred to serve in the court or to other places.
Their generals and soldiers will be reorganized by the court to eliminate the old and weak, such as If there are no special circumstances, the generals will basically be retained at the same level.
The specific arrangements will depend on the results of the reorganization; the second category is those who did not submit a letter to hand over military and political power within the time limit specified by the court, and the court chose to return them during the expedition.
If they are demoted, the imperial court will demote them to three levels, but they must obey the transfer.
The generals and soldiers under their command will be reorganized by the court and the old and weak will be eliminated.
All generals under their generals will be transferred to other places and will be demoted to the third category.
There are no regulations. of Those who submit a letter to hand over military and political power within the time limit and are attacked by troops must surrender unconditionally.
The army will be reorganized by the court and the old and weak generals and generals and officials under their command will be eliminated by the court.
The court will consider their talents and moral character.
Depending on the circumstances, some people may be promoted, some may be demoted several levels in a row, and some may be persuaded to resign and return to their fields after receiving a reward.
The worst result is that there is no risk of life and only a retirement severance payment.
No.
The fourth category is the vassal towns that neither submitted a letter to hand over military and political power within the prescribed period, but also stubbornly resisted the imperial court without any regrets.
The imperial court sent heavy troops to mercilessly destroy them.
For the captured vassal generals and their subordinate officers and generals, All of them will be killed.
The annihilation of nine or more tribes is the specific regulations of the imperial court on the reduction of vassals.
General Zhu and Master Liu, do you need further explanation from me?
If you have any questions, you can ask them and I will answer them one by one."
Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian looked at each other, and Zhu Tao winked at Liu Daoqian to signal him to speak.
Liu Daoqian thought for a while and asked: "In Master Wen's opinion, which category does our General Zhu belong to?"
Wen Haoran said expressionlessly: "Although General Zhu Si took over Fan Yang less than two months ago, the court did not issue an edict to him to hand over military and political power, but if he can take the initiative to write to the court after Zhu Xicai's death, he will Can be counted in the first category.

The imperial army has already arrived at the city, so General Zhu Si can only be classified as the third category, so you can only surrender unconditionally.
There are no other conditions.
If you refuse, the imperial court can only crush Fan Yang and dig out this sore.
The regent once said that The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty said, The country of the Tang Dynasty is already riddled with holes.
I can only try my best to repair it now.
If it cannot be repaired, then I will tear it down and rebuild the Tang Dynasty.
These words have shown that the king is cutting down the vassals.
Resolute attitude, no one wants it If you have any illusions, you two can go back and discuss with General Zhu Si.
I can wait for you here for three days.
After three days, if General Zhu has not decided yet, I will return to the capital to report to the king.
The army of the county prince will be here.
We must launch a fierce attack on Fanyang City."
Zhu Tao was a little anxious and looked at Liu Daoqian.
Liu Daoqian signaled with his eyes 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.
At the beginning, he wanted to submit a letter to surrender to the imperial court, but It was during this time that he was fighting with Li Yuan, which delayed him.
Look, if General Zhu can lead his troops to attack Li Yuan who has withdrawn to Yingzhou, and assist the imperial army to regain Youzhou and other places in Lulong, it will not be considered as a standing function.
"Preferential treatment" Wen Haoran frowned, pondered for a moment and said: "I need to think about this matter.
There are some things that need to be discussed with King Mobei.
Please rest here for one night and I will reply to you tomorrow."
After getting the consent of Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian, Wen Haoran said to Zhang Shouyu: "Please ask the prince to arrange for General Zhu and Master Liu to rest here for one night."
"It's easy to say."
Zhang Shouyu immediately told his youngest son Zhang Xianjing: "Go and make some arrangements.
If General Zhu and Lord Liu have any needs, try to satisfy them."
"yes" Zhu Tao and Liu Daoqian were arranged in two tents by Zhang Xianjing.
The two gathered together to talk about the scene in the Chinese army's tent.
Zhu Tao seemed a little anxious and said to Liu Daoqian: "Mr.
Liu, what should we do now?"
If you submit to the imperial court, you must follow the imperial court's regulations. , our destiny is not controlled by ourselves.
Who knows whether we will be transferred to other places or be demoted to civilian jobs.
We brothers have spent so much effort to climb to this position.
If I go back to be a farmer, , I will not accept it no matter what."
Liu Daoqian comforted him and said: "Second General, don't worry, there is always a path.
I will pay a visit to Mr.
Wen later and see if I can make him accommodating."
At nightfall, Liu Daoqian was led by a soldier to Wen Haoran's camp.
Wen Haoran waited for him to come in and asked the soldiers to retreat.
Then he cupped his hands and said to Liu Daoqian: "I'm here to pay my respects to Mr.
Liu.
If it weren't for the fact that Mr.
Liu ignored life and death and went into the tiger's den alone." , Youzhou and Lulong still don’t know when they will be able to return to the embrace of the imperial court.
Please accept my courtesy.”
Liu Daoqian knew that Wen Haoran was from the Regent's Palace and was working beside Zhao Ziliang.
Although his official position was not high, he could see Zhao Ziliang every day.
This was like an eunuch who could see the emperor at any time.

This was not something that most ministers did not have.
Advantage, he quickly pulled up Wen Haoran: "Master Wen doesn't have to be like this.
He is doing things for the king and the court.
What's the point of not doing your best?"
