Vol 4 Chapter 2418: The Return of Tao Gong on the Current Situation

Half an hour later, Tao Yuanming and Meng Longfu stood in the same military tent, Liu Yi was sitting on the front of the tent, and both sides stood like a wolf like a tiger and covered in armor. The generals of the army, everyone was beaming, looking at Tao Yuanming, who was holding a scepter and looked calm.
He Wuji smiled and said, "Ambassador Tao, this time you are on a mission for the country, without a single soldier, and only relying on a three-inch tongue, you have retrieved the 12th county of Nanyang. We people came out to fight. Sacrificing tens of thousands of brothers in one year is no higher than your achievements. How did you do this?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "If I didn't rely on the power of the generals and the soldiers of the Beifu army, how could I have achieved this? What I can't get on the battlefield, I can't get it during peace talks."
Meng Longfu laughed: "Ambassador Tao Guoqian, when you forced Qin Master Yao Xing to sign the cession and peace agreement, Liu Guanjun had not eliminated Huanzhen and put down Jingzhou."
Tao Yuanming shook his head: "Maybe it was God’s will. No one had expected that the Kumarajiva monk would actually speak to us. Maybe it was Buddhism who was compassionate, and that Yao Xing really believed in this. We promised our terms. However, I heard that this time Liu Guanjun even killed the master Daoquan of the Wo Niu Temple in order to hunt down the Huan family's Yu Dang. I am afraid that Kumarajiva will speak for us when he knows it. Feel a little regretful."
Liu Yi's face changed slightly: "Monk Daoquan openly sheltered Huan Wei, and violated my military order, he was cut according to the law. This commander doesn't think there is anything wrong with it."
Tao Yuanming sighed: "From the general's point of view, there is really nothing wrong with it. It's just that Yuanming is from Jingzhou after all. People who know Jingchu and believe in ghosts and gods. Master Daoquan and his master Shi Daoan, for many years. Come to be admired by the people of Jingchu, no matter what the reason, just kill like this, I'm afraid it will cause a commotion, and add some variables to the land of Jingzhou, which has been calmed. Tao is not talented, and has some heartfelt words. Handsome came in alone."
Liu Yi nodded: "Ambassador Tao has done a great job this time and knows the situation in Jingzhou. This commander is about to ask you for advice. I am a rough guy here. I am good at fighting. I am not good at running the country. I have some secrets. It’s not convenient to talk about it publicly. You guys step back first. Just have Xu Changshi and I have an interview with Ambassador Tao here."
A hint of hesitation flashed across Meng Longfu's face: "Marshal, this time the final general has been ordered by Liu Zhenjun to Ambassador Tao along the way. He stays true to his responsibilities. Please..."
Liu Yi said coldly: "You can't leave every step of the way? Raptors, where were you when Ambassador Tao went to the palace to meet Lord Qin?"
Meng Longfu was speechless for a while, and Liu Yi looked at Liu Daogui on one side: "Daogui, since Ambassador Tao said he wants to speak to me alone, do you think it would be appropriate for many people to listen to the confidentiality of governing Jingzhou?"
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "Brother Raptors are also loyal to their duties, and please forgive Brother Xi Le for one or two, he has always been this character, you know."
Speaking of this, Liu Daogui looked at Meng Longfu: "Raptor, I will explain this to my eldest brother personally. This is all my own. It is only related to the aftermath of Master Daoquan. It is a secret. You first come to my account. In the middle, Huaiyu is also here, and we haven’t seen each other for a year. It’s time for a good meal.
Meng Longfu hooked the corner of his mouth and bowed, "Okay, then listen to Brother Dao Gui, Brother Xi Le, I will go down first.
As the generals left one after another, Liu Yi, Xu Xianzhi and Tao Yuanming were left in the big account. Liu Yi winked at Xu Xianzhi, and when he came back, he pointed towards Liu Yi. Nodded: "It's all arranged. No one is within fifty steps. Now we can talk about business with peace of mind."
Liu Yi looked at Tao Yuanming and said coldly, "Tao Gong, you are at Liu Yu's right now, but the wind is going well. This time, he has made such a great contribution to him. The future is limitless."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "What's wrong, Lord Baihu seems to have a lot of opinions about my mission this time. Did it hinder your plan to seize power from Liu Yu?"
Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "I let you go to Liu Yu's place, but it was not for you to really help him, but to suppress me. You recovered the Twelfth County of Nanyang for him this time. I didn't have the slightest benefit, but Let Liu Yu, who stayed behind and not fight, become a great hero of the country. I am afraid that I may not be able to overwhelm him when I return with the great achievements of destroying Huanchu and saving the emperor."
Tao Yuanming smiled and waved his hand: "Don’t worry, Lord Baihu. The so-called
weakness and loss of the horse
means that if Liu Yu develops steadily in the rear and uses Liu Muzhi to make friends with major families and welcome back the emperor, then you can make great contributions. Can’t surpass him, because just like I was sent to Houqin, you, the coach of the Western Expeditions, were also his assignment. The world would think that Liu Yu sent you to eliminate Huanzhen, not as you Liu Xile. Credit!"
Liu Yi raised his eyebrows: "But the soldiers in the army didn't think so. This time even Wuji and his men believed that I was the coach who won for them, not Liu Yu."
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "But you just let them grab the money and make a fortune, but you can't give these soldiers the titles and official positions. After you go back, Liu Yu will have the final say on merits and rewards. Then everyone will only recognize Liu Yu, Lord Baihu, with your current strength, there is no chance of winning against Liu Yu, because behind this emigration to Jiangbei, the land of Jiangbei is also allocated to the high family of the family. They will not suffer. Once the Northern Expedition is successful, then Jiangbei will become a safe and stable inland like Jiangnan~EbookFREE.me~ Today’s investment will be rewarded a hundredfold in the future. Don’t really think that the high-ranking family will collectively oppose Liu Ji because of the temporary loss of interests. slave."
Liu Yi's expression changed, and he looked at Xu Xianzhi: "This is the case?"
Xu Xianzhi nodded: "Yes, according to my latest information yesterday, with the Xie family as the leader, the Langyan Wang family co-branded, and the Yu family following up, more than half of the Jiankang family have actively expressed their willingness to mobilize Zhuang Ding's tenant farmers to immigrate to Jiangbei. , Farming land. Liu Yu also agreed to exempt him from taxation and labor within ten years, and the land output will be divided into five to five from the state. As for how much the new immigrants get, it is up to their original owners to decide."
Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "He Liu Yu said every day that these lands belong to the country and cannot be privately given or accepted. What is this? If you blatantly violate this promise, who else will follow his orders in the future?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Lord Baihu, Liu Yu or Liu Muzhi's cunning is here. The land is still national, but it is temporarily lent to these aristocratic families and tenants for farming management. The five to five share is considered rent. If the Northern Expedition has made meritorious service, when the time comes to be appointed officials, these lands will be allocated to the noble family again, which is reasonable and legal. Now, Brother Xi Le, do you know why the noble family supports this policy?!
