On the seventh day of the sixth month of the fourth year of Daguan.

In the conference room in the General Office of Tianjin Maritime Control Department (formerly Jiehe Maritime Control Department), the representatives of the peace talks from the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty and Youzhou each took their seats. Cai Jing, Wu Haowen, Xiao Baoxian, and Li Chuwen ignored the hot weather, and they all had all their robes and jackets, with a demeanor. However, their faces were ugly than the other, and the ashes were almost black. Wu Hao, who was sitting in the middle, looked as usual.

He was wearing a thin shirt, bald without a hat, and a big palm-leaf fan in his hand, and his head was shaking like a wave drum.

"How can this be said? The conscience of heaven and earth. A certain family and Xianggong Cai were loyal and devoted to serving the court and making their lives for the people of the world. How could they become traitors? Why did they sell their country and seek honor? This Zhang Zhiping is too dissatisfied. For his own selfishness, he ignored the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people in Hebei and Hedong. He also said that our loyal ministers and generals were traitors... Xianggong Cai, Shumi Xiao, what should you do about this? The negotiations with the bureau have been completed. Did you give up like this?"

After hearing Wu Haogu's heartfelt words, Cai Jing and Wu Haowen's noses were almost pissed. Fortunately, they were gentlemen who were not good at speaking, otherwise Wu Haogu would have been beaten.

In Zhang Zhuo's "Want to Kill the Tribulation of the National and the National Anti-Liao Shuo", which one of them mentioned Wu Haogu? Cai Jing and Wu Haowen each had the hat of a traitor, and they both wanted to "kill". Wu Haogu defeated Yan Yun and defeated the Khitan. It was clearly the number one hero in the world who resisted Liao. Someone believed that he wanted to usurp the country and said that he wanted to sell the country to the Khitan. I'm afraid no one believed that he would buy it. Even if he really wanted to sell it, Yelu Yanxi would not dare to buy it!

Cai Jing and Wu Haowen had nothing to say, but it was Xiao Baoxian's deputy, Li Chuwen, the nephew of Yelu Yan, the Privy Councilor of the Southern Court of the Great Liao Dynasty, spoke up and said, "What can I do if I don't give up on this matter? Can the Song Dynasty cede Hexi to me to the Great Liao Dynasty?"

The conditions offered by the Liao Kingdom were Hexi and Shuofang, plus an annual quota of 1.5 million yuan. With the hard work of Cai Jing and Wu Haowen, we finally talked about the conditions of cede Hexi and 1 million yuan in exchange for the Liao Kingdom to withdraw troops from Hedong, and recognize that the land of Suzhou Anfu army in Youzhou and Liaodong belonged to the Song Dynasty.

Wu Haogu turned his head and looked at Cai Jing. Cai Jing's face turned pale and shook his head and said, "I have issued an order to the emperor. If I don't cut Hexi, I can't cut it!"

Wu Haogu smiled: "Hexi is just not allowed to deliver it for the time being."

Li Chuwen frowned and asked, "What the king means is that in the future, the Song Dynasty may still hand over the land of Hexi to our Great Liao?"

"The future is to be discussed. The peace agreement can be signed first. If it can be implemented, it will be implemented first. If it cannot be implemented, it will take time. We will always return the two dynasties in the north and south, and a peaceful world of 100 million people, right?"

"If the Song Dynasty did not cut off Hexi, our dynasty would not be able to withdraw from Hedong!" Li Chuwen said, "And our country has now taken over Taiyuan City, and the entire Hedong can be seized at any time!"

"Haha." Wu Haogu just smiled and looked at Xiao Bao first, "Shumi Xiao, what do you think?"

"A peace agreement is related to three families, right?" Xiao Fengxian asked carefully.

Wu Haogu shook his fan and said with a smile: "Now there are four families in the two countries, and it is becoming more and more lively. I wonder if it will become five and six in a few months?"

"Brother, who is the fifth and sixth company you mentioned?" Wu Haowen couldn't help but interrupt.

In his opinion, with the two traitors, Wu Haogu and Zhang Yuan, the world of Song Dynasty was full of signs of chaos. How could there be more traitors?

"I have to ask Shumi Xiao!" Wu Haogu asked Xiao Baoxian with a smile, "Who does Shumi think look more like the fifth and sixth ones?"

Of course, Xiao Baoxian knew the answer to this question. The fifth family is mostly the Jurchen tribe alliance, and the sixth family is either the Menggu tribe or the Kelie tribe...

Although the Liao Dynasty moved back to Hedong and took over Taiyuan City, the overall situation was still unfavorable to Liao Dynasty. Yan land could not be taken back, Hexi could not eat, and half of Hedong that he had obtained by luck could not be digested. Although the Liao army captured Yanmen villages, Pingxing Pass, Xinkou Village, Niangzi Pass, Guguan, Chitang Pass, Baijing Village, Sanjiaokou, Taiyuan Dongshan and other dangerous places, they also controlled Daizhou, Xinzhou's prefecture and main county towns, as well as Taiyuan Fucheng, Yuci County, Shouyang County and Pingding Juncheng. However, they did not gain the support of the working people and landlords and bullies in Hedong, so there was no way to establish an effective local government. That is, they controlled dozens of key points and transportation lines connecting these key points. The vast mountainous areas around were still under the control of the official army loyal to the Song Dynasty and various rebels.

If the Liao Kingdom wants to maintain its military presence in the central part of Hedong, it must deploy heavy troops and continuously invest resources. At the same time, it cannot collect too many taxes. Even Caogu is not easy to fight - it is Shanxi with two mountains and one river! The Liao people's cavalry can still have an advantage in the valley of the "one river" and the valley terrain. When it comes to Taihang Mountain, Luliang Mountain is full of "anti-Liao people's guerrillas", so fight Maocaogu!

However, the Liao Kingdom could not spit out the hard bones (referring to Hedong) that were eaten into its mouth in one bite. Otherwise, they would lose the bottom in this Song-Liao War. What kind of prestige can rule the grasslands and forests?

If the Hedong is not spit out, the Liao Kingdom will slowly bleed between the Luliang Mountains and Taihang Mountains... A grassland nation on the back of a horse has trapped into the Luliang Mountains. How can Taihang Mountains be better?

But if you can't get better, you have to hold on! What should you do if you don't hold on? Draw troops out of Hedong and counterattack Yanjing? Can you beat them? Or go to Hexi? Hexi is a little weaker, but no matter how weak it is, it will not be weaker than the official army of the Song Dynasty court, right?

"What should Your Highness Yan King want to do? Why don't you just say it!" Xiao Baoxian didn't go around the circle with Wu Haogu and asked directly.

"It's better to sign a ceasefire agreement." Wu Haogu said carefully, "For the time being, I won't fight for it now, and I won't mention any compensation for land cedes... Of course, I still have to raise the territory of Suzhou Anfu Army and my brothers won the brothers! Otherwise, if Brother Gao Qiu is uneasy in the sky, my conscience will be dissatisfied!"

Conscience... Do you have a conscience in Wu Haogu?

Xiao Baoxian was so angry!

However, the qi is restored, but Suzhou Anfu Army dares not refuse to let go of the territory.

"Okay!" Xiao Baoxian said, "But you have to give Feihu oral sex back to our country."

"That's natural, what's the Feihukou going to do?" Wu Haogu smiled, "In addition, I will open up trade with the Liao Kingdom in Youzhou. Between Liao and Song dynasties, you can continue to negotiate in Tianjin Prefecture... As long as the two countries have enough patience and think about the people of the world, they can always get a result. I wonder what you think?"

how?

Cai Jing and Xiao Baoxian looked at each other and sighed happily.

That's all!

...

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, good news, good news..."

In Chongzheng Hall, Zhao Ji, who was standing in front of a map of Xiangyang Prefecture that Pan Xiao'an sent to someone, suddenly heard Yang Jian's voice.

"Yang Jian, are you here?"

Zhao Ji's tone was faint, and his eyes were still on the map of Xiangyang City.

Xiangyang is a good place!

There is the Han River in the north, Xian Mountain in the south, Yazi Lake in the west, and a large area of ​​reclaimed land to the east, extending to the river berth of the Han River. The south of this flat land is the Xian Mountain in the south, and there is only an easy road at the intersection of the foot of the mountain and the river beach.

In other words, Xiangyang City not only has dangers on all sides, but also has a small plain where you can farm, which can open up more than 20,000 acres of paddy fields. In extreme cases, relying on these more than 20,000 acres of water, you can produce at least about 40,000 stones of white rice a year, which is enough to support 10,000 elite soldiers.

As long as the city defense deployment is reasonable enough, Xiangyang City is a fortress that can be maintained for a long time! It is not afraid of strong attacks, nor is it afraid of siege.

As a country, it is too cramped, but as a refuge in times of crisis, it is ideal...

"What's good news?" Zhao Ji heard the footsteps behind him. He knew that Yang Jian was approaching and asked without looking back.

"The news from Tianjin Prefecture has begun to settle peace talks."

"What?" Zhao Ji was stunned and looked back at Yang Jian, "What is the beginning of peace talks?"

"It means to reach a preliminary peace agreement and not fight for the time being."

"No fighting for the time being?" Zhao Ji was stunned again and again. Can the war be suspended?

"The Liao people are willing to withdraw their troops from Hedong?"

"Don't retreat." Yang Jian shook his head and took out a secret memorial from Wu Haogu who had just been sent to Kaifeng Prefecture from a fast horse and handed it to Zhao Ji. "Your Majesty, this time, Xianggong Cai and Wu Xueshu (Wu Haowen) reached an 'arms' agreement' with the Liao people, that is, stop for a while, and do not spit out the territory they each seized on the battlefield, occupying it first, and there is no discussion on cede land or annual monies (in fact, the "Liao-Yan Armistice Agreement" includes cede land), and the court also has steps to go down."

"Thank God," Zhao Ji breathed a long sigh, and said while flipping through the memorial, "I can finally sleep well... But how long can the truce stop?"

“Six months to one year.”

"So short?" Zhao Ji sighed again, "I can finally let Pan Xiao'an build Xiangyang City."

It turns out that Zhao Ji hasn't forgotten to run away yet!

"Your Majesty," Yang Jian smiled, "Wu Haogu's memorial said that in six months to one year, the Liao Kingdom will inevitably be in chaos. It will not be difficult for the court to recover Hedong. It will also bring back the Datong Prefecture of the Liao Kingdom."

"Really?" Zhao Ji looked carefully and it was indeed written on the memorial. However, his reaction was to shake his head repeatedly, "Forget it, forget it... Don't worry, the people of the world can no longer withstand such chaos. Half of Hedong, it's okay if you don't."

The wars over the past year not only revealed the true colors of the Song Dynasty's official army, but also completely wiped out Zhao Ji's ambitions. He didn't think about anything that united the Jin Dynasty to destroy Liao or Meng to attack Liao. He just wanted to be the Emperor Taiping safely.

But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop!
