Wang Jin sat in the meeting hall and said to his subordinates: "The special envoy sent by the Duhufu was rejected by the tribe. The Anbei officials have been extremely disappointed with Zhou Ze. This is a good time for us to take the next step.
.”
Wang Jin looked around first, and then said: "Go and notify the people in Lazarhun, tell them that they can take action against Tang Min, kill a few people, set a fire, and make the matter as big as possible; and
As for you, hurry up to Mingweirong and inform the volunteers there who have been summoned in advance to be ready to go north at any time. As for you, contact more officials in Anbei in the past few days and ask them to attack Zhou Ze in public in the hall and report the recent chaos.
All the responsibility is placed on the deputy envoy, so that I can have the opportunity to ask the prince to take over the power..."
Before Wang Jin finished speaking, a subordinate suddenly ran in from the door and said in a panic: "Wang Shilang, it's not good!"
Wang Jin was stunned for a moment, then asked displeasedly: "What's wrong?"
The subordinate said: "The leaders of the Mobei tribe have come to the Duhu Mansion one after another, saying they want to make peace, and they are now at the city gate."
When Wang Jin heard this, he was shocked and shouted subconsciously: "Are those leaders crazy? Aren't they afraid that the government will take this opportunity to kill them all?!"
Subordinate: "In addition to the leaders, there is also an Anbei official who came this time. I heard that it was him who persuaded the leaders to come and make peace."
Wang Jin: "Who is it?!"
Subordinate: "Zhou Shang, the head of the magistrate's office of the Duhu Prefecture."
Wang Jin: "Zhou Shang? Zhou Ze's son?"
After getting the affirmative answer, Wang Jin's face was full of resentment, his teeth were itching with anger, and he paced back and forth in the hall.
Seeing that the plan was just one step away from succeeding, at this moment, Zhou Shang appeared out of nowhere and completely destroyed the situation.
Seeing that Wang Jin was furious, one of his subordinates suggested: "Wang Shilang, why don't you send someone to kill the leader and disrupt the peace talks?"
Wang Jin: "It's too late to go at this time, and the possibility of success is slim. Even if we succeed by luck, if the court traces it later, we will be exposed to too much risk."
Subordinate: "Then what should we do now?"
Wang Jin sighed: "What else can we do now? This is the only way."
After saying this, Wang Jin waved his hand and asked his men to go out and do their work first.
After all his men were gone, Wang Jin sent for Zhang Yanling from Jinyiweinan Town.
Zhang Yanling walked into the hall, looked at Wang Jin, bowed and called Wang Shilang.
Wang Jin nodded first, then called the other party Zhang Zhenjiang, stretched out his hand and asked Zhang Yanling to sit on the side seat.
Zhang Yanling's face suddenly showed a flattered expression, and he sat carefully on the table.
Wang Jin: "Jin Yiwei Nanzhen is responsible for the protection of the prince, and he has always done his best. His Highness has told me more than once that General Zhang Zhen is extremely intelligent and loyal. He is really a rare talent."
Zhang Yanling opened his eyes wide, stood up excitedly, and said to Wang Jin: "Your Highness is exaggerating, and Zhang really doesn't dare to take it seriously."
Wang Jin waved his hand: "Young people don't need to be too modest. His Highness the Crown Prince values you and you may be of great use in the future."
Zhang Yanling said quickly: "No matter what His Highness orders, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Wang Jin smiled and nodded: "I believe what you said...I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also caused a lot of troubles when he was on hunting tour, and you were responsible for settling them all. Not only did he deal with it,
It’s clean and leaves no clues. It’s rare, rare.”
After a moment of pause, Wang Jin changed the topic: "Right now, there is an important matter that needs to be done by General Zhang Zhen and your imperial guards."
Zhang Yanling: "Please make it clear, sir."
Wang Jin: "Do you know about the riots in Egu Town?"
Zhang Yanling: “I have a rough understanding of it.”
Wang Jin: "This matter involves some people...these people are adding fuel to the flames, with the purpose of pulling down Deputy Envoy Zhou and allowing His Highness to take power in Anbei. Unfortunately, these people are stupid and failed to succeed, leaving those
Now that the tribe leader has come to visit us, we have failed."
Zhang Yanling looked at Wang Jin, feeling vaguely enlightened.
Wang Jin: "Since these people have failed, there is no need to keep them anymore..."
Having said this, Wang Jin's eyes flashed coldly, and he said to Zhang Yanling in a deep voice: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Yanling gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "I understand."
Wang Jin: "Logically speaking, doing this kind of thing is the specialty of your Jin Yiwei, but I still want to remind you not to leave any clues to make others suspicious... If something really happens one day, I can't protect you.
"
Zhang Yanling cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang. Zhang is responsible for all the work."
Wang Jin nodded with satisfaction, then remembered something and said to Zhang Yanling: "As for Duke Yuan, you don't need to worry. I will naturally explain it to him. Just do your own thing well."
On the other side, Zhou Ze, the deputy envoy of the Anbei Protectorate, and the tribal leaders met in the meeting hall for an hour and a half before finally agreeing on peace between the two parties.
From now on, under the jurisdiction of the Anbei Protectorate, the government, merchants, and tribes will jointly establish a council to discuss and resolve disputes and conflicts between them, so as to prevent tragedies like Egu Town from happening again.
.
Outside the door of the meeting hall, Ban Weizheng looked at Zhou Shang and said with a smile: "I see you look like a frail scholar, but unexpectedly you are very courageous and dare to take risks alone."
Zhou Shang felt a little embarrassed and replied: "The situation was critical at that time, and I didn't have much to worry about."
Ban Weizheng: "If you solve this troublesome matter in Anbei, you will definitely be rewarded by the government. It really fulfills the saying that wealth can be obtained through danger."
Zhou Shang: "This conflict between the tribe and the government broke out suddenly. It was really a coincidence that caught everyone off guard. I was able to solve it, but I was just lucky."
Ban Wei Zhengchao looked around and saw no one around. He lowered his voice and said to Zhou Shang: "This conflict between the tribe and the government is not a coincidence. If you believe me, just listen to me.
Don’t go anywhere during the day, just stay in Baiting County.”

A month later, Shuofang's military governor Sun Aying led the army back in triumph.
Almost half of the 80,000 Uighur cavalry were lost, and the remaining soldiers and civilians became prisoners of the Tang army.
The Puppet Khan of Uighur was defeated in Yijijian and hid in the mud. He tried to escape the Tang army's search by using the quagmire and pretending to be dead, but his ankles were trampled by a horse unexpectedly. He couldn't help crying out in pain and was eventually caught.
Except for Yi Dijian, most of the nobles under the Huihe Jinzhang were captured by the Tang army.
The few surviving Uighur nobles fled deep into the grassland, but what awaited them would be endless pursuit and massacre by other tribes.
Sun Aying returned to Baiting County and was frightened into a cold sweat when he first heard about the riots in Egu Town.
He knew in his heart that once these tribes who had taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty rebelled around Baiting County, the supplies of the Shuofang Army and the Dragon Cavalry Army would be interrupted.
If another tribe went north and surrendered to the He people again, the Tang army would be trapped in a situation where they would be attacked from both sides.
Although the Tang army is powerful, it may not necessarily be defeated, but it will be difficult to completely defeat Uighur, which will give the enemy a chance to escape and breathe.
Sun Aying later heard that the official who could successfully solve this disaster was none other than Zhou Ze's son Zhou Shang. He couldn't help but feel happy and praised all the talented people in the Zhou family.
At the end of the sixth year of the New Year (766), Liangcheng was about to hold a great court meeting.
The DPRK sent an official document to Baiting, ordering officials from the fourth rank and above to come to the capital to report on their work. It also specifically mentioned that the Holy Father had issued an oral edict, and Zhou Shang, the head of the Licensed Records Department, also came to the capital.
