Ouyang Bian nodded: "Let's talk, let the Bushi fight first, and Wang Shangshu should also act directly until the peace talks are successful."

Zhong Yan nodded with a smile, maintaining an offensive posture, making the Liao Kingdom nervous, so that he could get enough benefits at the negotiating table.

There is a saying that you cannot get the benefits you cannot get on the battlefield, and you cannot get them on the negotiating table. If you want to get the benefits on the negotiation table, you must show the power to get the benefits on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, then, what is the bottom line for us when we negotiate?"

Ouyang Bian thought for a while and said, "What do you think?"

Zhong Yan's eyes flashed by, his face became a little ruthless: "We took the initiative to fight the Song Dynasty. In this way, we not only made the Song Dynasty recognize the existing territory, but also asked them to compensate us for two million guan. In the future, we would have to give out 500,000 guan annual guan every year.

This time, the Liao Kingdom took the initiative to attack us, forcing us to move the people of Hejian Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture to Mizhou, involving the migration of more than one million people. The investment cost alone was as much as tens of millions of coins, and the property he gave up was more than 100 million coins!

Moreover, after fighting the entire war, we consumed more than tens of millions of guan. In this way, we roughly calculated that it is normal to lose 200 million guan. Well, the support given to the Ōbu tribe and the Jurchen tribe cannot be considered openly.

Therefore, the old minister believes that the land we occupied this time is a certain fact. It is impossible for the Liao Kingdom to return it. It even has to make up for it in terms of money. Well... at least tens of millions of guan."

Looking at Zhong Yan who was seriously calculating, Ouyang Bian couldn't help but laugh.

Although the Liao Kingdom seems to have a vast territory, it is mostly sparsely populated areas such as desert grasslands, and the population is less than tens of millions.

Moreover, the fertile land of the Liao Kingdom, namely the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the land and population outside the Great Wall, were occupied by Daxia, and the rest were some cold lands.

To be honest, Ouyang Bian looked down on those places.

Now the Liao Kingdom is still besieged by the Uighurs, Jurchens and the Bu tribes in Xizhou. They are about to be destroyed. In such a country, Zhong Yan wants to squeeze out tens of millions of monarchs from them, which is absolutely impossible.

Even the Song Dynasty occupied the fertile land of Jiangnan, and could not help but feel pain when it took out two million yuan.

In fact, if it weren't for Ouyang Bian's appearance, it would be normal for the country to have an annual income of only tens of millions of RMB in this era. Even the wealthy Song Dynasty had only 70 million RMB in the ten years of Xining. The Liao Kingdom seemed very large, but in fact it was just a poor country.

The Chanyuan Alliance seemed to have suffered a great loss, but in fact, the annual annual monies expenditure was only 300,000 to 400,000 yuan. The Liao Kingdom was quite satisfied, and it can be seen that the economic situation of the Liao Kingdom was very bad.

Just this, Zhong Yan wants the Liao Kingdom to compensate tens of millions of yuan?

Well... would you let Yelu Hongji sell himself?

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Well... I agree with the appeal of territory. After all, it is impossible to repay it by fighting based on strength. If the Liao Kingdom is not convinced, then come and take it back.

As for the compensation issue…”

Ouyang Bian thought about it and said, "Please pay some symbolic compensation, but the key is that it is about the Han people. You must add one. If the Han people in the north want to come back, the Liao Kingdom will not stop it.

Moreover, if the Han people are willing to stay in Liao, the Liao people must guarantee their rights, that is, the Liao people must guarantee that the Han people enjoy equal rights as the Khitans!"

Zhong Yan was stunned: "These traitorous Han people..."

Ouyang Bian shook his head and said, "They are not treason, most of them are helpless. If we think more about them today, they will have a greater sense of belonging to us in the future.

Well... When it comes to this matter, I want to tell you that the people in the occupied land must pay attention to strategic principles in their strategies in appeasement and publicity, and do not treat them as belongings or as prisoners. We must promote this as great unification of the Chinese nation!

They originally belong to the Chinese nation, and this is just a war of unity within the Chinese nation. Don’t appear as a conqueror!”

Zhong Yan nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Our army in Daxia is a military with faith, organized and disciplined faith. We strictly abide by the guidance of the three major disciplines and eight precautions in dealing with the people. Wherever we pass, we will definitely not be violating. We will even help the people everywhere, and we will never oppress the people."

Ouyang Bian smiled: "It's so good, oh, by the way, there's no need to separate the Navy's affairs for the time being, they still have tasks to be carried out."

Zhong Yan was stunned: "All tasks have been prepared... Well, okay, Your Majesty, is it a secret mission?"

Ouyang Bian nodded: "Well, it's still about dividing the family on the surface. The newly recruited navy will start to practice and perform the dividing performance to cover up the people's eyes.

As for the mission, I will help Nanyang Group negotiate a business in Dali Country. As for what the mission is, it doesn’t matter to tell you.

There is a large copper mine in Dali. Nanyang Group wants to buy the copper mine. Of course, this may involve the interests of some groups. There are always people who are not convinced, so they need to escort the navy, but we cannot come forward, so they will take off their military uniforms temporarily, you know."

Zhong Yan: "..."

I understand?

What do I know?

However, Zhong Yan is well-informed after all. After so many years of military career and as a general family, he has seen too many things. Sometimes some things are not allowed to come forward, and some people will take off their military uniforms to execute them. This is ordinary.

However, when Zhong Yan thought about it, he was shocked when he thought of the geographical situation around Dali.

"Your Majesty... Some people you said are not convinced, you wouldn't mean Jiaozhi, right?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Jiaozhi Kingdom has indeed become a bit domineering in recent years. Nong Zhigao, if it weren't for Jiaozhi Kingdom, how could he have taken action against the Song Dynasty?

This little Annan provoked the Song Dynasty a few years ago. Although we were going to destroy the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty is also a part of our China, and we should also get this shame back.

So, it would be fine if Jiaozhi was willing to borrow the road. If he didn't want to borrow the road, then... the current King of Jiaozhi is a little baby named Li Chengde. Then, let Di Xiang go to Shenglong to invite Li Chengde to Bianjing as a guest, so he would be willing to borrow the road, right?"

Zhong Yan: "..."

This is obviously plowing the temple and sweeping the cave, directly hitting the other person's imperial court, and taking the other person's emperor over. Do you call this?
