. In fact, when the two countries negotiated, they should have tested each other's bottom line first, so as to win the greatest interests for themselves, and they should never have completely revealed their hole cards as soon as they met. It's not that Lang Jinzhong doesn't understand this truth, but now he is so angry that he is dizzy, what else do he want to advance and retreat, play the price all over the sky, and pay back the money on the spot. I just want to finish talking about it quickly and leave here, so I don't care about anything else, and I gave out all the conditions for the withdrawal of troops from Western Xia at the beginning. Anyway, this is also a condition that the Western Xia monarchs and ministers think that the Great Song Dynasty should be acceptable after repeated discussions.

Knowing that, Liu Heng stretched out his hand and took the booklet, and without even looking at it, he threw the booklet on the coffee table, got up and picked up a booklet from the bookcase behind, handed it to Lang Zhen Jinzhong, and said with a smile: "Lord Lang Yan, this is the condition proposed by the Song Dynasty court, as long as you can agree, we can withdraw immediately." ”

Lang Jinzhong took the booklet, opened it, and couldn't help but change his face greatly, closed the booklet with a "snap", and finally couldn't suppress the fire, and said angrily: "Lord Liu, the conditions you have offered are too much, and I will never agree to it." ”

Originally, the Great Song Dynasty proposed that the peace conditions were: Western Xia should be a vassal to the Great Song Dynasty, cancel the name of the Great White High Kingdom, and change its name to Western Xia, and the monarch would be canonized by the Great Song Dynasty and kneel to receive the edict; He also demanded that all the land from Jingsai Military Division in the east to the south of the Gansu Military Division in the west be ceded to the Great Song Dynasty, and that a one-time compensation of 5 million taels of silver and 200,000 horses in the Great Song Dynasty should be paid, and from then on, 1 million taels of silver and 100,000 horses would be paid to the Great Song Dynasty every year.

Originally, the Western Xia decided to cede Huangzhou, Kuozhou, Xining Prefecture, and Zhuo Luo and Junsi to the Great Song Dynasty, because these places were occupied by the Song army, and it is estimated that the Song Dynasty would not spit it out. However, the land south of the Jingsai Military Division to the Gansu Military Division was three times the amount of land ceded by the Western Xia at the same time, and the Western Xia was obviously unacceptable. As for the amount of silver to be compensated, it was frighteningly high, far more than Xixia himself estimated, and it was not something that Xixia could afford. If these conditions are agreed, Xixia might as well simply die in the country.

Seeing that Lang Zhen Zhong finally couldn't help but get angry, Liu Hui still looked like he was in a good time, and said with a smile: "These are the conditions put forward by my Great Song Dynasty, Lord Lang Zhen will not visit back to discuss with your monarch, and then make a conclusion?" But it has to be faster, if it takes a long time, we can't wait, so we have to pick it up ourselves. ”

Lang Jinzhong said angrily: "Now that you Southern Song Dynasty are relying on your troops, you have invaded the land of my Great White High Country, and you have made such an unreasonable request, it is inevitable that it will be too much of an inch, you must know that my Great White Country is not easy to bully." ”

Liu Heng snorted and said, "Lord Lang, don't forget, you started this battle first." I, the Great Song Dynasty, have always wanted to be friends with you, and I have never violated your borders first. Two years ago, but you first helped the Jin Kingdom to attack my Great Song Dynasty, am I wrong about what I said? ”

Lang Jinzhong lowered his head, although he knew that he was wrong, he still argued strongly: "That time it was Xiangguo Ren Dejing who sent troops privately, and it has nothing to do with my Dabai Gaoguo. ”

Liu Heng sneered: "Okay, even if it was Ren Dejing's fault that time, my Da Song was also lenient and did not pursue it." And what about this year? It was you who repeatedly violated the Lanzhou border of our Great Song Dynasty and plundered the population and livestock of our Great Song Dynasty. Now that Ren Dejing is living in Lingzhou, this time it has nothing to do with him. How do you explain that? ”

This time, Lang Jinzhong was even more speechless, and he was stunned for a while before he said: "This time, my country was provoked by the Jin State, and I didn't know right from wrong for a while, so I sent troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty." Now my country is also regretting it, so now I sent my official to come to make peace, and the original and the Great Song Dynasty re-married, the two countries quit the army, and never fight each other in the future. ”

In fact, this reason is very strong, and even Lang Jinzhong himself doesn't believe it, but fortunately, Liu Heng didn't say anything, and said lightly: "Lord Lang, you can say that it is light, and a sentence of 'regret is beyond reach' is enough?" So how should you deal with the losses caused by your Western Xia to my Great Song Dynasty? ”

Lang Jinzhong hurriedly said: "My country naturally knows that it has caused a lot of losses to the Great Song Dynasty, and is willing to accompany the Great Song Dynasty, but your conditions are too harsh......

Liu Heng didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and cut off his words and said: "These conditions must be accepted, if you don't agree, then our Great Song Dynasty will continue to march and go straight to Xingqing Mansion." ”

The fire of Lang Jinzhong "Teng" hit his head again, stood up suddenly, and said: "If you want to fight, you can fight, it's so difficult that I'm afraid that you will not succeed in the Southern Song Dynasty." ”

Liu Heng smiled and said: "Lord Lang, your tone is not small, this time your 120,000 army in Western Xia was defeated by my Great Song Dynasty, and more than half of them were damaged, what else do you use to fight against my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Lang Jinzhong "snorted" and said: "Victory or defeat is still a common thing, although you won by luck before, but I still have hundreds of thousands of male troops and thousands of generals in the Great White Gao Kingdom, and now I am united in a decisive battle with you, and the family of victory and defeat may not be known?" ”

Liu Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "Lord Lang, don't you know about me?" At present, although there are still 150,000 or 60,000 troops in Xingqing Fuzhong, most of them are local defenders and newly recruited people, who are simply a rabble and cannot afford to fight. And Ren Dejing's subordinates still have more than 100,000 male soldiers, but it's a pity that he has a gap with your monarch, and he can't be counted on, what else to talk about, the number of wins and losses of the two countries fighting again, do you still need to talk about it in detail? ”

Lang Jinzhong said: "Don't forget, Jin Yi promised my country that I will never sit idly by, and when the time comes, can you deal with my country and Dajin at the same time?" ”

Liu Heng smiled again and said, "Two years ago, didn't you unite with the Jin State with the Jing to attack the Great Song Dynasty?" At that time, I was not afraid, let alone now. Moreover, now the Jin State has not yet taken care of itself, there is time to take care of the affairs of Western Xia, and since ancient times, there has not been anyone who has placed the rise and fall of one country on the power of another. Lord Lang, whether it is war or peace, you can do it yourself. I won't say more, send off. ”

Lang Jinzhong was completely speechless by Liu Heng, and the other party sent off the guests with the scriptures, so he didn't even say hello, and left angrily.

Looking at the back of Lang Jinzhong leaving, Liu Heng sighed softly, the smile on his face became solemn, and he silently said in his heart: "Yang Yan, everything is going according to your idea now, I hope you don't make it self-defeating." ”

In fact, for this time the Western Xia sued for peace, a group of old ministers led by Chen Junqing all thought that the Song army had won a few battles in a row, but in fact, the Jing was a lone army, and in the future, the Jin State would definitely interfere in it, and now the Great Song Dynasty also did not have the strength to have a showdown with the Jin State, so they should directly agree to the conditions of the Western Xia, negotiate peace as soon as possible, and take advantage of it.

However, Zhao Chen and Zhao Ruyu believed that even if peace was negotiated, it was only an expedient measure for the Western Xia, which could only make the Western Xia stand more resolutely on the side of the Jin State. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to negotiate peace with the Western Xia in this way, and it is necessary to support Ren Dejing, who can influence the Western Xia court, so that the Western Xia can no longer participate in the war between the Song and Jin Dynasty in the future.

Han Yanzhi and Liu Heng also knew this in their hearts, but it was not easy to achieve this. Guan Jian is the extent to which the Jin State interfered, if the Jin State did not hesitate to start a full-scale war with the Great Song Dynasty for the sake of Western Xia, it would be difficult to clean up, even if the Song and Jin countries did not start a full-scale war, but put pressure on the Great Song Dynasty on the border, and now it is difficult for the imperial court to invest troops in the Western Xia battlefield, so with the current strength of Yang Yan, it is difficult to say whether it can continue to maintain the pressure on Western Xia. It can be said that Zhao Chen, Zhao Ruyu, and Yang Yan's choice is not to dance on the edge of the cliff, it is too risky.

Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, if Liu Heng was allowed to choose by himself, he would definitely agree with Chen Junqing's opinion. But the emperor made a decision with the scriptures, and Liu Heng would also resolutely implement it and do his best to support Yang Yan, but he actually didn't want Yang Yan to succeed in his heart.

※※Support original ※ "Song Xiang" in ※※※

Lang Yanjin left Xingzhou in a loyal manner, returned to Xingqing Mansion, recounted the process of peace negotiation in its original form, and reported the peace conditions of the Song Dynasty to Li Renxiao.

Li Renxiao never thought that the conditions of the Song Dynasty would be so harsh, it seemed that this was intended to destroy the Western Xia, and his heart suddenly became nervous again, and he had no idea, so he had to recruit the ministers of civil and military affairs to discuss countermeasures.

Gao Shan Du did not praise the sincere negotiation of peace, and took this opportunity to suggest to the emperor that he would defend Xingqing Mansion and fight to the death with the Song army. It's a pity that most of the civil and military ministers in Western Xia don't have the courage to die and survive, and they are all thinking about how to make the Song Dynasty lower their conditions, or negotiate peace as soon as possible. Some people even wanted to convince the emperor to simply agree to the conditions of the Southern Song Dynasty. And Gao Shandu's qualifications and prestige are not as good as those of Wei Ming Jizhong, and the ministers have no confidence in him, so no one responds to his suggestion at all.

Wang Ju, the secretary and supervisor, was the first to come out and said: "The 120,000 army of the Ming Linggong and the 'Iron Harrier' were still defeated by the Song army, but now the Southern Song Dynasty has 200,000 troops, deep into our country, and the dangerous places are lost, how can we fight hard with the Song army?" Therefore, the minister thought that he should negotiate peace with the Southern Song Dynasty and let them withdraw earlier. ”

Gao Shan snorted and said, "Didn't you send someone to negotiate peace with the Southern Song Dynasty?" The result? Wouldn't it be boring to discuss peace again? ”

In fact, Li Renxiao also wished that the peace negotiation could succeed earlier, but the conditions proposed by the Song Dynasty were not acceptable at all, and he asked: "Is there a way for Qing and the others to negotiate peace with the Southern Song Dynasty again?" ”

All the ministers were silent for a while, and Jiao Jingyan, a scholar from Hanlin, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the only way to do this is to ask the Jin State to send troops to help, and the Southern Song Dynasty may have some scruples and dare not press too hard." Of course, I asked Jin Guo to maneuver from the situation and force the Southern Song Dynasty to negotiate peace with me and withdraw from the army. ”

Li Renxiao nodded, the last time Jiao Jingyan sent an envoy to the Jin State, he brought back the promise that the Jin State was willing to send troops to help Western Xia. However, Li Renxiao also knew that it was easy to invite God and difficult to send God, and of course he was unwilling to let Jin send troops to Western Xia, so he politely declined. But now that Yijing has been forced to have no choice, he knows that he is asking the tiger to drive away the wolf, but he can only drink to quench his thirst. So he immediately crowned Jiao Jingyan as the governor of the government, and asked him to send an envoy to the Jin State again and ask the Jin State to send troops to help.

At this time, the border troops of the Jin State on the Jingzhaofu Road were about more than 100,000, which was roughly equivalent to that of the Great Song Dynasty. And Su Shi Lie Zhining and Wanyan Chen monk Yijing went to Jingzhao Mansion to take office, and Dajin was already ready to aid Western Xia.

In fact, neither country is willing to tear up the peace agreement two years ago, so they also have a tacit understanding to control each other's proportions, never excessively irritating each other, and leaving room for repairing relations in the future. If the battlefield is placed in Western Xia, the two sides will have a lot less scruples in the third country, and even if they fight a battle, there is room for redemption, and it is naturally no better. Therefore, as soon as Fushi Lie Zhining received the Western Xia's call for help, he immediately sent the monk Yan Chen to lead an army of 30,000 and enter the Western Xia.

Jiao Jingyan arrived in Zhongdu, informed the Jin State of the process and results of the peace negotiation between the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty, and asked the Jin State to maneuver around and put pressure on the Song Dynasty to lower the terms of the peace negotiation.

After Yan Yong listened to his speech, he first asked Jiao Jingyan to go to the pavilion to rest, and then also recruited the ministers to discuss what to do together. Did the Southern Song Dynasty really want to destroy the Western Xia? If this is the case, then Jin Guo can't take care of it, even if it launches another southern expedition, it will not hesitate to do so.

He immediately pointed out that the Southern Song Dynasty would never want to destroy the Western Xia, and the reason why the conditions were so high was that it was just a kind of trick to negotiate peace talks, so as long as Dajin came forward and gave both sides a decent step, it was absolutely possible to promote the Southern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia to reopen peace talks. However, it may not be able to attract enough attention from the Southern Song Dynasty, so the Jin State must also make some substantive actions to make the Southern Song Dynasty clearly understand the attitude of Dajin, so that they dare not take risks. At the same time, when the Southern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia resumed peace talks, Dajin also sent people to participate in their negotiation process, but once the two sides were at a stalemate again, someone could reconcile them.

After Yan Yong listened, he also felt that what he said was reasonable, and discussed it with the ministers and made some decisions, first sending someone to inform Bai Yanjing, who was still in Jiankang, to ask him to extend the attitude of the Jin Kingdom to the Southern Song Dynasty, and urge the Southern Song Dynasty to agree to negotiate peace with the Western Xia again; At the same time, he added 30,000 troops on Jingzhaofu Road to increase the number of troops supporting Western Xia at any time; In the end, he sent Shi Ju, the governor of the council, to Xingzhou, and once the Southern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia negotiated peace again, they must participate in the negotiation process between the two sides, try their best to mediate the contradictions between the two sides, and finally promote the success of the peace negotiations between the two sides.

In this way, Jiao Jingyan successfully completed his task and returned to Western Xia. And the Jin State and the Song Dynasty started a new round of competition on another battlefield.
