"Report to the two lords, General Du, deputy commander of the imperial guards in the front office, brought people to welcome him. ..."

Duan De and the other two looked at each other in the car, and felt a sense of ease. Both of them knew who Du Shanhu was. They were the confidant of General Zhao Shi, a fourth-rank military profession. Being able to personally welcome the roadside shows the attitude of General Zhao Shi.

The clothes on Mr. Wang were wrapped in layers after layer, looking like a super large rice dumpling, but his face was still bluish and pale. After looking at Duan De, he felt relaxed, but he couldn't help but snorted in his heart. Zhao Shi was indeed as domineering as rumors and never came to welcome the imperial envoy in person. However,... he knew a little etiquette and knew to send someone to welcome him...

Thinking of this in my heart, a smile came out from Mumu's face, and he smiled tremblingly, "Mr. Duan, look..."

Duan De's appearance is similar to his now. The wind and frost in the north are really unbearable. He suffered a lot along the way, but compared to the gains from this expedition, it is not worth mentioning.

When the peace talks were settled, he would be able to achieve success. After returning to the court, he would be able to serve in the Privy Council. He had already obtained qualifications and was indispensable for military merits this time. In addition, he had a lot of dealings with the military generals and collegiate in front of the battlefield, and he had gained prestige in the army, and every little thing he had cleared the way for him to enter the Privy Council.

Then when you think about the old age of the year, you may be able to free up the position of Deputy Privy Councilor in one or two years. With his qualifications, who can compete for him? It is natural to go further in the career of the officialdom. Not everyone can have such an opportunity. Thinking of this, Duan De's heart was so hot that even the cold on his body seemed to be a little less.

But then again, the most urgent task is to discuss peace between Qin and Jin. Other plans must be put behind.

So his smile was much more pleasant and calm than Mr. Wang. After all, Mr. Wang is over 60 years old. The reason why he was sent out is more like a routine, but he is different...

"General Du has worked hard and made great contributions. We still have to meet him........ People come, but you don't want General Du to come..."

Mr. Wang seemed to be indifferent. The only thing that could not get along with him was this damn weather, which lifted the thick curtain of the carriage and opened the carriage door. The cold wind blew in immediately. The two of them shuddered and smiled bitterly in their hearts, hoping that the trip would be smooth and turn around quickly. Otherwise, with their current body bones, how could they resist such trouble?

The two gave in to each other and got off the carriage. They moved their legs and feet slightly, and stood on the road trembling and looking northward. Fenzhou City was already close to each other. There were still some traces of smoke and fire left on the tall city. They were left by the Qin army when they attacked the city. Both of them looked into the distance, and only they knew what they were thinking.

After a while, a sound of horse hooves, a group of people had already arrived not far away. The first person was a mighty figure and rode his horse. When he arrived not far away, he immediately turned over and dismounted. He was covered in armor and froze and collided with his movements, making a sound of metal and iron clashing. Without deliberately posing, a stern and murderous aura came to his face with the cold wind.

The great man came and strode to the front, turned over and bowed, "The last general Du Shanhu will welcome the two imperial envoys to come late, and I hope to forgive my crime."

No matter how Duan De and the others thought, they did not dare to neglect. Duan De stepped forward, mixed with Du Shanhu's arm, and smiled and said, "General Du, please get up quickly..."

Then there is a typical routine response to meeting people in the officialdom. Several people are not newcomers in the officialdom, so they are naturally familiar with this routine and do not need to be detailed.

Finally, Du Shanhu smiled and bowed and said, "This is not the place where the conversation is. The two adults are tired and asked the two adults to get on the bus. The general has already set up a banquet in the city and is waiting to welcome the two adults. The general asked the general to pass on the message on his behalf. Because of the busy military affairs, he could not leave without leaving, so he ordered the general to quickly escort the two adults into the city to meet. The two adults see..."

Duan De and the other two smiled reservedly and nodded repeatedly, "Then it's time for General Du."

"Please, two sirs."

"Please, General Du."

The weather was too cold, and the two of them wanted to enter the city early to rest, and there was no temptation. After all, they had already arrived at the other person's land, and they could see the real owner in a while. It didn't matter whether they were tempted or not.

When the two of them got on the carriage and sat down, the team started again. Duan De stroked his beard and sighed, "The general is well-known, these soldiers... are so powerful..."

Mr. Wang secretly curled his lips and welcomed the imperial envoy. Naturally, the military soldiers had to carefully select them. Could it be that they would even make some crooked and cracked dates come out?

However, he echoed: "Mr. Duan has been in the army for a long time, so he can see it well."

Duan De smiled slightly and didn't explain anything. The person in front of him was a typical civil servant. How could he know what happened before the army? The most important thing in the battle in the north was the cavalry. Although he only looked at the people brought by Du Shanhu for a few glances, he could feel the murderous aura on these soldiers. When he looked at the marching of the queue, he didn't need to look closely and understand that these were all elites in a hundred battles. The military uniforms he wore were the military uniforms of the imperial guards in front of the palace.

What is the imperial guard in front of the palace like? He has seen many of Zhang Peixian's tent. Even the guards around General Wang Pei are probably much worse than the soldiers brought by Du Shanhu, let alone others waiting. From these details, you can vaguely see the morale of the Qin army in the river and other things, and naturally there is no need to explain to the person in front of you.

He only sighed in his heart that no matter how the general Zhao Shi was acting, it was nothing to say. There were generals such as Du Shanhu and Zhang Fengju to provide him with instructions, and he also built his own Tiger Martial Victory Army. In the battle, although it was said that there were many casualties, it also severely damaged more than 100,000 elite Jin soldiers in Taiyuan. Such martial arts.........

Duan De shook his head secretly. Not to mention the founding generals of the Qin Dynasty, even those who have never seen each other since ancient times, but unfortunately... Duan De sighed in his heart. Lord Shangshu could not tolerate this person. Otherwise, who would be from the Li family or the Wang family in the court could compete with these two emperors and close ministers?

There was another thing he didn't say, don't look at General Du's smile. He looked easy to speak, and was kind and thoughtful, and could not find any faults, but the soldiers under his command... from their eyes, Duan De could feel the anger and strong hostility.

He would not explain this to this person, so as not to be a bit of a strange thing, but he himself secretly comforted himself in his heart that these soldiers fought with the Jin people and had just fought a lot, and suddenly heard about the peace talks. He was a little dissatisfied. It is reasonable that as long as the generals in the leadership of the army could understand the sufferings of the court, nothing would happen.

Of course, his worries were also hidden deep in his heart. He was afraid that the generals would think the same way, and the most important thing was what the general thought...

The peace talks were known to the army so early. It is not a good sign...

With these worries, he no longer had the interest to speak. Before he knew it, the team had already entered the ancient city of Fenzhou.........

Mr. Wang lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside. There were very few people coming and going. No matter the houses, city walls, or anything else, they all gave people a sense of dilapidation. Of course, the military camps outside the city had repeatedly appeared on the streets, which also added a bit of solemnity to the place.

The Jin area in the river and the homeland of the Han family, every place seems to be permeated with the vicissitudes of history, and every step seems to be stepping on the dust of history.

Suddenly, the old man seemed to be a little more emotional and said softly, "The people are suffering, the people are suffering, the people are suffering, what is the fault of the people in this river? Will they suffer this sudden disaster and be displaced?"

Duan De, who was thinking about other things, was stunned for a moment, and then said mockingly in his heart, groaning without any illness. He was really stupid in studying. How could Qin Chuan man have such a pedantic person?

But he smiled and said, "Isn't I waiting for this to save the people in the river from water and fire?"

“That’s right.”

In an instant, the old man seemed to have found a sense of mission, slapped his thigh and said in a deep voice, "I can't say that I must decide this peace agreement, stop the war, and let the people in the river rest well."

Duan De nodded with a smile, "I am afraid that the general will lead the troops to fight for a long time, and the murderous aura will be uneasy, and I have objections..."

He sought to make a quick and easy statement. Duan De was able to do this easily, but he also understood that there was no need to tease him. This Mr. Wang, who came only for peace, could not get along with the people in the army.

Sure enough, the man immediately glared and said righteously: "It is natural for the general to expand the territory of the country, but... we still need to decide on other common affairs. Lord Duan, General Duan, but I am dissatisfied. I am determined to advise him to stop him. I must not let the people in the river suffer because of his mistake..."

Duan De bowed with a smile, "It is really admirable for the old man to care about the people."

Mr. Wang shook his hands and held his beard and laughed, but Duan De couldn't see the other party's pride, the people who came from the Wang family in Chang'an, who had been up and down in the officialdom for decades, how could he really be a pedantic scholar?

................

"The General of the Yulin Central Army, Desheng Bo, the commander of the Tiger Wusheng Army... Zhao Shi received the order..."

As an imperial envoy, he naturally had the imperial edict. Zhao Shi, who led the generals to welcome him outside the mansion, felt relieved. He could not count the number of times he received the imperial edict, so he naturally understood some of the taste.

If the person who delivered the order reads the imperial edict as soon as he met, it would be inhumane. Either the person who sent the order had a slight ties with you, or the imperial edict was full of rebukes. On the contrary, if the person who sent the order came and could make a few polite words to you, it would at least mean that the holy relatives had not yet declined.

Now, no matter how much thought the two of them came, they all had smiles on their faces, exchanged greetings and politely confronted the boss for a while, and took out the imperial edict. This detail can only show that this peace talks, at least the two of them in front of them are very concerned about him, the general, and dare not offend him easily.

Sure enough, the meaning of the imperial edict was also very clear. Although there were no words of rewarding merits, it also affirmed the merits of the generals of the Qin army northbound. The words of comforting were earnest. It seemed that His Majesty the Emperor still admired Zhao Shi's previous actions very much, but the battle in Taiyuan Prefecture had not yet been passed to the capital. With the temperament of that emperor, this imperial edict was actually beyond the reach of that emperor.

As for what happened later, it was not surprising. It was the matter of peace talks. Wang Zhengqing, the Minister of Rites, was the Minister of War, Duan De, the Minister of Military Affairs, and the General Zhao Shixie. It was necessary to reach a peace talk with the Jin people.

Of course, what made Zhao Shi frown was that there was no clear definition of the bottom line of peace talks, whether it was the imperial edict or the subsequent discussion with Wang Zhengqing and Duan De, that is, there was a lot of room for maneuver, and most of them had to discuss with the Jin people. In this way, just as Zhao Shi expected. If the peace talks, the first thing that would be affected would be the ownership of the land in the river. And the court's intention was to abandon the river, which was not unanimous...

Although he had expected it, Zhao Shizhen was extremely disappointed when he heard this. It was not that he did not understand the court's difficulties, but as the commander of the army, he fought bloody battles and conquered so many places. He easily gave up once peace talks, which was something he could never accept.

To be honest, he was not a staunch nationalist, and he did not blindly hate foreigners. For example, he married a Tatar princess, had visited the Tatar tent, helped the Tatars eliminate horse bandits, and had also drunk and chatted with several heroes among the Mongols, and even got along with Hesaer and Sankun to Anda.

It can be said that he did not have any special disgust towards the tribes in the northern grasslands. However, when he looked at the Jurchens in the river, the military orders and government orders of the Khitans were just means to adapt to local conditions and achieve general trends. To be honest, he did not have any unforgettable hatred for the Jurchens, Khitans and other tribes.

However, in the battle of Taiyuan Prefecture, too much blood and too much life finally made him have the intention of killing the Jurchens and Khitans who dominated the Jin Dynasty.

But then again, he has been an official for more than ten years. He has not lacked political wisdom. He cannot be forced to discuss major issues. These two people who came to be imperial envoys are not easy. Therefore, the methods are the top priority. Too many direct actions can only leave a handle on the conversation, and it is not good for others and oneself. He is very careful about this, and he hides it even deeper as long as he is concerned... After all, he is no longer the cold-blooded and ruthless special warrior who is a newcomer who only knows how to kill people and kill people......

Therefore, after the imperial edict was announced, at the banquet where the two imperial envoys were greeted with each other, the guests and the host laughed and seemed particularly harmonious. Even Du Shanhu and others could not see any other meaning on his face, let alone Duan De and the others.

The dishes were not very rich, and the wine was also a strong wine in the army. The two imperial envoys who were tired all the way were forced to deal with it. They didn't care about evaluating the quality of the wine and food. They had to take a twelve-point spirit to observe their expressions, just because the one who was the one they attacked was the youngest and most favored general since the country. They had great military achievements and were almost unparalleled in the court. How could the two of them not be as arrogant as a match for Dabin?

Fortunately, although this general led the army to fight for a long time, his smoke on his body had not yet been exhausted, and he had more or less a depressing evil spirit, his words and deeds were gentle and polite, and he didn't seem to have much thought, which made both of them feel relieved......

The generals in the army accompanied him, but the atmosphere was a little depressed. It was not surprising that soldiers in troubled times were dissatisfied with peace talks no matter when they were at their turbulent times. Most of them would not care about the treasury, the people, and the general trend of the countries. They only knew how much blood shed, how many comrades shed, how many military achievements they could get, and so on. Naturally, they would have a lot of grudges about the peace talks.

Duan De and the other two are old and sophisticated. Naturally, they would not make any conspiracy with the words, nor would they deliberately suppress and anger these military men. In their opinion, it would be better for these people to say a hundred words than if they were sitting there steadily. General Zhao, who had been sitting there steadily, would have been useful.

But even so, the two of them underestimated the scoundrel methods of these military men. If you speak in front of your ears, then drink. So, amid the chaotic invitations, the two imperial envoys were almost poured under the table.

It’s not that the two of them could not use the style of an imperial envoy to stop the wine, but they were worried about Zhao Shi and could only drink it one cup. When they arrived at the river, it was Zhao Shi’s territory. This was true. The identity of an imperial envoy could only make people dare not be rude to them. As long as Zhao Shi did not speak, he would have to bear the threat...

(I will write these today. The turning paragraphs are not easy to write. It is very difficult. It will be fine after it is straightened out. Haha...
