Chapter five hundred and twentieth I will do it for you
PS: Thank you Cao Nima for the reward...by the way, do you dare to have a more coquettish name?...Please collect it.
In the camp of Xixia, there were negotiators sent by Wei Mingxiao, led by Li Shou, King of Fire, and dozens of officials including the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War. The army of Party members was led by the veteran general Chen Tiaoxian
After leaving Swan City, they now set up camp fifty miles away from the place where the two parties were negotiating, pretending to fight immediately if they couldn't reach an agreement. The Han army left Fuzhou and waited in formation in Fuzhou City. It seemed that all they needed to do was negotiate.
If it breaks down, the two sides will immediately fight.
In fact, the so-called talks between the two countries look similar to a negotiation between two underworld bosses. Both sides bring a team of people and fight if they cannot reach an agreement.
It's just that no matter how big a mafia group is, it can't be bigger than a country. The talks between Dahan and Xixia are a game between two militarized mafia organizations.
In the big tent of Li Shou, King of Fire, the person sitting in front of him at this time was Brother Yuelu Mo of Liao Kingdom.
"I don't know what your Majesty is thinking. You actually plan to negotiate an alliance with Liu Ling, a capricious and despicable villain? Who is Liu Ling? Will he really show sincerity to form an alliance with you? In my opinion
, I just want to use you to contain Da Liao. In my opinion, Liu Ling just wants to use your Da Xia army as spearmen."
Brother Yelumo said angrily.
Li Shou smiled and said: "It's bigger than Yue, so be patient and don't be impatient."
He smiled and said: "When choosing an ally, you must naturally choose the one who treats you sincerely. Greater Yue has brought His Majesty Yelu Xiongji's sincerity, which I can see very clearly. However, you also know that greater than Yue, this peace negotiation
It was Liu Ling, the king of Han, who initiated it. He offered hundreds of miles of territory in Linzhou, Shizhou, and Lanzhou to show his sincerity. The king of Han said that as soon as an alliance between the two sides was formed, the Han troops in these three states would immediately withdraw.
, hundreds of miles of territory were immediately included in my Daxia territory."
He said with some embarrassment: "As you know, greater than Yue, this is a very interesting proposal. His Majesty Yelu Xiongji's sincerity... seems to be a little bit inferior to that of the King of Han."
Brother Yelumo said angrily: "Can Liu Ling's words count? Can they be taken seriously? I didn't see him preparing to give Lanzhou and other three states to His Majesty Wei Mingxiao. On the contrary, I saw outside Fuzhou City
Tens of thousands of Han soldiers are waiting in full formation. Didn’t you see? The Han army camp is arrogant? According to what I know, King of Fire, you personally went to see the envoy of the Han Kingdom. His name was Zhou Yangong, but he didn’t show any signs of it.
To give you face and refuse to see you, it seems that the King of Fire has been rejected, right? Moreover... this prefecture seemed to be the territory of Daxia a few months ago, but now the flag of the Han Dynasty is fluttering in the wind on the city wall.
"
Li Shou was not angry either. He said calmly: "I know this better than Yue Yue. The Han army has stationed 150,000 troops in Fuzhou. For this meeting, the Han general Wang Banjin has sent 100,000 troops behind him.
Withdrawing hundreds of miles and leaving only 50,000 people here is also a manifestation of sincerity, and...it seems that these 50,000 troops are not to demonstrate against me, Daxia, but to prevent your army from taking the opportunity to go south."
He took out a map and put it in front of Brother Yelumo and said: "This is the map of Lanzhou, Linzhou and Shizhou sent by Liu Ling, the king of Han Dynasty. Could it be that... this map is also a fake?"
Brother Yelumo walked a few steps forward, picked up the map, looked at it, and then snorted coldly: "The map is real, but Liu Ling's sincerity is definitely fake. The Han people have always been cunning. Doesn't King Lihuo not know this?"
He raised his chin and said: "Your Majesty has made a promise. As long as you and I reach an agreement, Daliao and Daxia will form an alliance. The two countries are close to each other. If one side is in need, the other side will devote its entire country to help. Moreover, in the future, Daliao and Daxia will be in peace."
It is inevitable that the two countries of Daxia will join forces to invade the Central Plains. When the time comes to equally divide the beautiful world of the Central Plains, wouldn't it be much more powerful than the territory of only three states, which is a few hundred miles away?"
Li Shoudao: "That's what I said, but Yu Yue, what you said is just an empty promise, and it is a benefit that may not be available in a few years. If it were Yu Yue you, how would you choose?"
Brother Yelumo said: "Is that necessary? Of course, you and I join forces. There are millions of soldiers in Liao Dynasty, and there are no less than a million armored men in Daxia. If you and I join forces, we can conquer the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains just around the corner! If Wei Ming
His Majesty Yu Xiao was deceived by Liu Ling, and he will meet with me, the Liao Dynasty, one day. Not to mention the strength of the Han State, does King Agni think that you are sure of victory? On the contrary, if the Liao Dynasty and Da Xia allied to attack the Han Dynasty,
The country is not sure of victory?"
Li Shou hummed and said: "What Yue said makes sense, but before I went north, His Majesty told me to take this alliance seriously. After all, the territory of Han and Daxia intersect for thousands of miles, and Daxia and I
There is no major conflict in Daliao. I don’t know that your majesty and Liu Ling, the king of Han, have been sworn brothers ten years ago. We, the people of Daxia, keep our promises and are aboveboard, let alone your majesty? And Daliao and Liu Ling are sworn brothers.
There seem to be a lot of unpleasant things happening to me during the summer."
Brother Yelumo asked: "Does King Agni only focus on the past?"
Li Shoudao: "Who knows what will happen in the future?"
He pointed at the map and said: "An alliance will bring me the land of three states in Daxia, as well as a powerful ally. No matter how you look at it, this is an exciting thing."
Li Shou gritted his teeth and said: "Although His Majesty Daliao has never promised anything, you should know that I, the people of Daliao, also promise nothing!"
Li Shou smiled and said: "Da Yue, this time you came uninvited. I will keep you in my camp, and I will not hesitate to offend the Han envoys for this. This has shown enough sincerity on my part.
But what about you, Yue Yue? Will you only talk about illusory things in the future here? If Yue Yue only has this little sincerity, then I can only express my regret. Duke Yan of Zhou refuses to see me, doesn’t Yue Yue know why?
?”
Brother Yelumo said: "Does His Majesty Wei Mingxiao really want to meet with our army of Liao Dynasty?"
Li Shoudao: "Did Yue Yue forget? Your Majesty just came back from Shangjing a few months ago."
Brother Yelumo stood up suddenly: "You!"
Li Shou said with a smile: "I still say the same thing, Yue Yue, please be patient and don't be impatient. When negotiating, you must strive for the maximum benefit. I personally respect His Majesty Yelu Xiongji, and I also respect you Yue Yue. But, you
As you all know, Daxia is your Majesty’s Daxia after all. We, as ministers, must follow His Majesty’s will in everything. King Liu Ling of Han impressed Your Majesty with three states and decided to make an alliance. If it is greater than Yue, we should think about it.
What conditions can I use to impress His Majesty and cancel this decision?"
Brother Yelumo thought for a while and said: "My one hundred thousand troops have left Datong Prefecture in Xijing to the north of Daizhou. We will capture Daizhou soon, and then march straight in to attack Taiyuan. I promise you, this time our Liao troops will
All the captured lands of the Han Kingdom will be given to His Majesty Wei Mingxiao as gifts!"
Li Shou frowned: "It's still unrealistic."
Brother Yelumo said: "Otherwise, this is something that is happening right in front of you and will soon become a reality. In addition... Daliao's garrison north of Helan Mountain has received His Majesty's order. Once you and I reach an agreement, the army will retreat immediately.
Five hundred miles to return that fertile grassland to Daxia, is this condition still sincere?"
Li Shou's eyes lit up: "Seriously?"
Brother Yelumo smiled and said: "Your Majesty promised a huge sum of money, how can you fail to do so?"
Just when Li Shougang was about to speak, suddenly a Xixia general ran in in a panic. After he came in, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness... I have something important to report for my humble duty!"
Li Shou said angrily: "You unruly thing. Didn't you see that I was discussing important matters with your distinguished guest? Get out!"
The general raised his head, and the eagerness on his face could not be concealed as he said: "The matter is important and I am humble... I dare not delay!"
Li Shou's expression changed and he said to Brother Yelumo: "I'll be back later if I'm more than Yue."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the tent, and the general followed him out. Li Shou walked to a stop dozens of meters away from the tent, turned around and asked, "What's going on, you're so flustered?"
The general said: "Your Highness, urgent military information, the military report just received... Just half a month ago... The Han army in Yanzhou suddenly attacked Suizhou, Yinzhou, and Xiazhou. Now the three states have been occupied by the Han army.
Your Majesty is furious! There is a decree coming from Xingqing Mansion, and I have been working hard to get there first, and the decree will arrive later."
Li Shou was startled, and then said angrily: "Liu Ling has gone too far to bully others! If he does this during the alliance meeting, isn't he afraid that my Daxia army will march eastward?"
The general said: "Your Highness, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
Li Shou asked: "When will your Majesty's decree arrive?"
"It will be here in another hour at the latest."
Li Shoumeng waved his hand and said, "You can go down and rest first, and you can make a decision after I receive the order."
Li Shou stood outside the tent and took a deep breath. After calming down his emotions, he returned to the tent and said to Brother Yelumo with a smile: "Good news."
"Oh? What makes His Highness so happy?"
Brother Yelumo's eyes flickered and he asked with a smile.
Li Shoudao: "Just now, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Yangong, sent someone to ask for an audience. He said that he would come with another map to discuss with me in detail in the evening. He asked me to... drive away Yue Yue."
Brother Yelumo's expression changed and he said: "King of Fire! Are you planning to do this?"
Li Shou hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't worry if you are bigger than Yue, how can I be a person who forgets his loyalty for the sake of profit? Don't worry if you are bigger than Yue, even if you and I cannot form an alliance on behalf of Daxia and Liao, we are still friends. However, we are still friends.
One thing happened to be that Yue Yue guessed right. This man from Han is really cunning and insidious. He actually used such extraordinary means to force Yue Yue away, but it is not very honorable."
Brother Yelumo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Highness, no matter how many maps there are, they are just dead things after all. Everything depends on how your Highness talks with the Han envoy. You can be sure that Liu Ling is so generous with a large territory.
In exchange for the alliance, don't you have any evil intentions?"
Li Shou smiled and said: "What Da Yue said is that compared to the hundreds of miles of barren territory in the three states of Shizhou, I am more interested in the grassland to the north of Helan Mountain. Therefore, if Daliao's army can go back
If I push it an extra three hundred miles, I think I can confidently persuade His Majesty to change his intention to form an alliance with the Han Kingdom. Da Yue, don't rush to say anything. I'm not in a hurry. You can send someone back to ask for His Majesty Yelu Xiongji's instructions. As for the matter
I'll just hold on to the Han envoys."
He smiled and said: "Of course, if Da Yue has the right to make decisions on behalf of His Majesty Yelu Xiongji, I can promise you not to hold talks with the Han envoys again."
Brother Yelumo thought for a while and said: "Before I came... Your Majesty gave me the power to make arbitrary decisions when the opportunity arises. But... retreating another three hundred miles is too much. I can make the decision and retreat another hundred miles."
"Two hundred and fifty miles!"
Li Shou said firmly: "No more."
"One hundred and fifty miles."
Brother Yelumo walked up to Li Shou and said, "This is the limit of what I can do. If Your Highness is still not satisfied, even if I send someone back to the capital to ask for His Majesty's instructions, His Majesty will definitely not agree. So, Your Highness, please think twice."
.”
Li Shou hesitated for a while, then pretended to be in difficulty and said: "If that's the case, then so be it. I think that both His Majesty the Emperor of Liao Kingdom and I, His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia, will accept this result."
Li Shou thought for a while and said: "Since we have reached an agreement, how about we make a covenant here, so that I can make up my mind and not see the Han envoys again tonight."
Brother Yelumo said: "There is no problem in signing the alliance, but before that, I would like to ask King Agni to do something to show the sincerity of the alliance between the two parties."
"What's up?"
"Kill the Han envoy Zhou Yangong and his followers!"
Brother Yelumo said ferociously.
Li Shou thought for a while and then slowly said: "There seem to be a few very brave warriors around Yue Yue. What if... tomorrow when I have a meeting with the Han envoy, these warriors suddenly break into the big tent and do something...
If something happens, it will be difficult for me to stop it."
Brother Yelumo cursed in his heart: This cunning fox! But it doesn't matter, as long as the Han envoy dies at the place of negotiation, will Liu Ling form an alliance with Xixia again?
He smiled and said: "Then, let my people do it for you." (To be continued)
