Once the seals of the two countries are sealed, the alliance is finally completed.
Li Yuanji immediately picked up one of them and looked at it from side to side.
"Okay, okay, hahaha, great..."
Suddenly, Li Yuanji laughed while looking at the covenant.
Then he walked out of the hall, raised his head and looked in the direction of Xixia Xingqing Mansion, raised the covenant at a 45-degree angle, and laughed loudly again, "Hahaha... Your Majesty, I finally did it."
Ling Yun looked at him calmly, but if he looked closely, he found a sneer hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Li Yuanji was so happy, and he must have thought that Xixia had made a profit. After all, the two countries had a 10% alliance. Lingyun would not only stop the attack, but also lead his army to withdraw from Lanzhou City. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone!
In fact, Ling Yun never thought about occupying Lanzhou City from beginning to end, because he knew the significance of Lanzhou City to Xixia.
After occupying Lanzhou City, Xixia will definitely not give up the siege.
It was fine when he was there, but if he returned to the court with his troops, the army he left behind might not be able to defeat Xixia.
Even if the enemy is defeated, a corresponding price will be paid.
Even if he agreed to such a price, the court would not agree.
In this way, the gains outweigh the losses.
It would be better to take this opportunity and ask Xixia for some war horses.
Xixia has met all his requirements, and this war is finally coming to an end.
"Congratulations, Mr. Li, on signing the alliance!" Ling Yun slowly walked out of the hall, came behind Li Yuanji and said with a smile and cupped hands.
"Hahaha...Same joy, same joy." After hearing this, Li Yuanji quickly turned around and congratulated Ling Yun.
Ling Yun nodded, and then warned, "Master Li, after you return this time, you still need to tell the King of Xixia not to restart the war because of some small profits, otherwise no one knows what the result will be next time. After all, Xingqing Mansion is far away
It’s not very far.”
"Yes, yes, General Ling is absolutely right."
"When I return to the court, I must remind the emperor to stay away from those provocative ministers and insist on maintaining the reconciliation of Daqian and Xixia..." Li Yuanji repeatedly agreed, with a flattering smile on his face, humble and yet
Respectfully, my attitude towards Ling Yun has not changed at all just because I signed the covenant.
It's not that Li Yuanji doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't dare.
Even though the alliance was concluded, as long as Daqian's army did not leave Lanzhou City, he would not dare to take a breath against Ling Yun, and could only humbly agree with him and please him.
"Okay, you go down and make arrangements!" After the matter was done, Ling Yun didn't want to stay with him any longer and signaled that he could leave.
"General Ling, I have something else to do." Li Yuanji had long wanted to retreat, but the matter was not finished yet. He suppressed his inner joy before speaking to Ling Yun.
"Is there anything else?" Ling Yun looked at him puzzled.
"General Ling, the alliance between the two countries has been reached. I wonder when General Ling's army will be able to withdraw from Lanzhou City?"
What Li Yuanji wanted to ask was the issue of Lingyun's withdrawal.
As long as Lanzhou City is brought back, he will truly be considered successful.
Otherwise, if Lanzhou City did not get it back, he would worry that Ling Yun would break the contract one day.
"Oh, it's because of this incident." Ling Yun was stunned. It turned out to be because of this incident. He thought Li Yuanji was going to say something.
"When you Xixia sends an envoy and arrives at Jingzhao Mansion with the compensation agreed in the covenant, my general will naturally lead his troops to withdraw from Lanzhou City. Then Mr. Li will be satisfied." Ling Yun thought for a while and proposed to withdraw from Lanzhou.
The city’s prior conditions.
"Okay, okay, I will write a letter to the emperor right now and ask the imperial court to send a mission with the compensation..." When Li Yuanji heard this, it turned out that Ling Yun wanted to see Xixia's compensation first, so he agreed to write the letter without thinking.
Returned to Beijing to urge the imperial court.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li!" Ling Yun bowed his hand.
Li Yuanji quickly handed over his hand, "No hard work, no hard work, this is what I should do..."
No matter how hard you work, Lanzhou City will be back soon.
When the time came to bring Lanzhou City back, he had done a great job, and Emperor Xingyuan didn't know how to reward him.
So what is the hard work now compared to the credit after the achievement?
"So good..."
The two exchanged a few polite words, and Li Yuanji left.
Back at home, Li Yuanji just wanted to sit down and rest, but before he could sit down, Li Renxiao hurried over.
"Master Li, how is the matter?"
Who is most anxious about the covenant?
That must be Li Renxiao.
In order to regain his freedom, this guy has compromised to Ling Yun countless times and promised many benefits. Now he is looking forward to leaving this ghost place and returning to the gentle hometown of Xingqing Mansion...
Seeing Li Renxiao coming, Li Yuanji unusually did not turn around to salute him, but continued what he was doing. He found a kettle and poured a glass of water, and then drank it all.
After drinking three glasses of water in a row, he turned to look at Li Renxiao.
"Your Highness, be patient and don't be impatient!" Li Yuanji did not rush to tell the other party the result he wanted, but smiled and asked the other party not to be anxious, as if he was hanging on to Li Renxiao.
"Your Highness, please sit down first and we will talk slowly."
Li Renxiao sat down on the ground. He just wanted to know the outcome of the matter. Can he escape from this ghost place?
"Master Li..." An anxious look appeared on Li Renxiao's face, his voice was a little louder than before, and he was obviously a little unhappy.
Li Yuanji noticed it, but he didn't pay attention, and always kept a slight smile, and continued to ask Li Renxiao to sit down.
Li Renxiao's face suddenly darkened, but after waiting for a long time, not only did he not get angry, but he sat down in compliance with Li Yuanji's wishes.
This scene made Li Yuanji's mouth burst into tears.
I thought this was the right thing to do!
Li Yuanji was happy, and then he said with satisfaction, "Your Highness, don't worry, I have already completed all the things you asked me!"
"Really?" Li Renxiao was shocked and jumped up suddenly.
Li Yuanji stroked his beard, smiled and nodded.
"Huh!" Li Renxiao stood up, raised his head and let out a long breath. Excited, he suddenly turned around and grabbed Li Yuanji's hand, with tears in his eyes, "Master Li, you are really me
My lucky star, fortunately you are here, otherwise..."
Li Renxiao confided in Li Yuanji, and in the end he couldn't help but bury his head and sob quietly.
Weeping with joy, he couldn't hold back any longer.
Li Yuanji raised the corners of his mouth and patted his shoulder gently.
"Your Highness, it's okay, nothing will happen. It's all over. The future depends on what happens outside the palace..."
"Master Li, I promise you that if I ascend the throne as emperor in the future, Master Li will be the prime minister..." Li Renxiao was moved and began to make a promise to Li Yuanji.
"Your Highness said this, I am so grateful that I can't repay him..." Li Yuanji replied pretending to be touched.
However, Li Renxiao kept making promises. It seemed that he was very grateful to Li Yuanji for helping him.
After Li Renxiao left, Li Yuanji began to write letters.
Ten days later, Emperor Xingyuan received Li Yuanji's letter. He first praised Li Yuanji without hesitation, and then sent people to prepare compensation-related matters. When the things were ready, the mission set off.
The Xixia delegation passed by Lanzhou City and headed towards Daqian under the leadership of Yang Sanniu, taking the eldest prince with them at the same time.
When the Xixia envoy followed Yang Sanniu to Jingzhao Mansion, Ling Yun gathered the army and led the army to withdraw from Lanzhou City.
