Zhang Yuan returned to the official post in a hurry, Rao was resourceful, and he was also panicked at the moment and didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of him.

Although there were tens of thousands of garrisons defending the two cities of Youzhou and Huizhou, the cold and snow covered the entire land at this time, and the cavalry could not exert their strength at all, even if they found a way to send the news back, it would be difficult to intercept the Song army halfway.

What's more, when the Great Xia was newly defeated and the morale of the soldiers was declining, the food and grass in the army were unsustainable, and now the order of dieting and meal reduction has been implemented, how can the soldiers who are not full of stomach be the opponents of the Song army.

Once the war starts, there will be no chance for peace negotiations, as long as the Song army breaks through the border cities of Youzhou and Huizhou, it will be out of control, and it is imperative to merge one place and go straight to Xingqing Mansion; If it really comes to that point, the demise of Great Xia will be just around the corner, maybe it is really like what Su Jin said, Li Yuanhao, the emperor of Great Xia, may really be driven to the snow field to drink the northwest wind.

I am afraid that it will take seven or eight days for the soldiers to return to ask for orders again, and at present, the Great Xia Kingdom can be said to be completely in the dark, and no one knows about the insidious intentions of the Song people except themselves; Even if the soldier who asked for the order came back, Zhang Yuan could come up with an answer with his ass, and Li Yuanhao was definitely unwilling to revoke the emperor's title and bow down to the Great Song Dynasty.

What to do? What to do? How can we stop the invasion of the Song army? What can be done to defuse the impending crisis? Zhang Yuan was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

After spending a morning in hesitation and hesitation, Zhang Yuan could not delay any longer, and in the overheard conversation, Su Jin said that the larger army would be drawn at the beginning of tonight, and he must come up with a way to stop this matter before the army was raised, but there could only be one way, that is, to immediately agree to all the conditions of the Song State, so that the Song people would have no excuse to attack Daxia; The risk of doing this is that he privately agreed to Song Ren's request without Li Yuanhao's consent, and in the end, Li Yuanhao would settle accounts with him, and his head was afraid that he would have to move; However, if Great Xia is attacked until the country is destroyed, the rebellion in the eyes of the Song people will inevitably die after all, and it will be a death on the left and right, so it is better to take risks.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the minister is also a last resort, if you are a real Ming monarch, you will definitely understand which is more important than the loss of the country and face, the minister's behavior is completely for the sake of the society of Great Xia, and it is also for your sake, the minister has to make this decision." Zhang Yuan bowed to the north and prayed secretly, and he let go.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yuan rushed to the yamen of the Lufu with his subordinate officials to ask for a meeting with Su Jin to ask for negotiations, Su Jin went to the residential areas in the city to inspect the people's living and eating and to observe the people's conditions, and Zhang Yuan sat in the yamen hall and did not leave, claiming to sit and wait for Lord Su to return to negotiate.

The messenger of the yamen had no choice but to go to the city to find Su Jin, but Su Jin waved his hand and asked the messenger to bring a message to Zhang Yuandao: "There is no need to rush to negotiate, please ask Lord Zhang to play and rest in the city for a few days before talking." ”

Zhang Yuan understood that this was Su Jin's delaying plan, how many days would he rest? When the time comes, you will all hit my Xingqing Mansion, what are we going to talk about? Zhang Yuan asked the official to lead the way, braved the falling snowflakes to find several neighborhoods, and finally met Su Jin in Nancheng, who was leading people to help a family build roof beams.

When Su Jin saw Zhang Yuan, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said, "Lord Zhang, why are you here?" The scenery of the south city is not good, the new houses here are all dwellings, nothing fun, if you want to see the scenery of Weizhou, I personally recommend going to Xicheng, there is a small Ming Lake, at this moment it is to watch the weeping willows on the shore with snow, thousands of strands such as white hair hanging down, compared to the green willows in the spring to help the wind in the summer full of lakes and the beautiful scenery of the sky is not inferior, there is a different taste. ”

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes and forcibly held back his anger and said: "Master Su, I didn't come to Weizhou to see the snow scene, how can I have leisure and play before my business is over?" ”

Su Jin waved his hand and said: "What's the hurry, there is still tomorrow, you and I are healthy and will not die violently tomorrow, don't be in a hurry." ”

Zhang Yuanzheng said: "Master Su, I am different from you, I can't eat and sleep before the official business is over, let's talk about peace first, and then leisure; Your emperor has entrusted you with the duty of peace, and you must not regard such an important position as child's play. ”

Su Jin was stunned and said, "This ...... Since what Lord Zhang said is so serious, then the official will accommodate you, and the person who comes is a guest; However, I have already explained the premise of the peace negotiation, and if you don't agree to that premise, we have nothing to talk about. ”

Zhang Yuan said quietly: "We agreed." ”

Su Jin was shocked: "What? Is there something wrong with my ear? You repeat. ”

Zhang Yuan said calmly: "After careful consideration, my Great Xia has decided to accept your request to cancel the emperor's title, Lord Su, are you satisfied?" ”

Su Jin was stunned, his face was full of disbelief, and he seemed to be a little lost, which made Zhang Yuan feel quite happy.

"Didn't you say that Li Yuanhao's will did not agree to this? You're probably doing this on your own. Su Jin didn't seem to be too dead.

"In fact, the Great Xia Emperor had already agreed to my previous order, but I just wanted to argue with you again, so I deliberately said that." Zhang Yuan's face is not red and his heart is not beating, and his performance is flawless.

Su Jin suddenly said earnestly: "Lord Zhang, from my private standpoint, I still have to remind you, once this article is agreed, your Xia Kingdom will be a subject country of my Great Song Dynasty, from now on, Li Yuanhao needs to worship our emperor every year, and he must regard himself as a vassal, and this proposal is completed, and the world knows that your Xia Kingdom has admitted defeat." ”

Zhang Yuan said lightly: "Thank you for reminding us, we have expected these for a long time, but as you said that day, the choice between the death of the country and the face, there is no doubt that we have to choose more important, speaking of which, thank you Lord Su for reminding us." ”

Su Jin showed remorse on his face, smacked his lips and stammered: "This...... Are you really willing to say yes to this? It's incredible, it's just ...... Can't convince me. ”

Zhang Yuan looked at Su Jin gloatingly, and said in his heart: "You treacherous person, if you don't make a decision, won't you let your treacherous plan succeed." ”

"Lord Su, should we find a place to discuss other details, yesterday thanks to your hospitality, we talked about some terms and reached some terms, I am afraid that these will have to be preserved in the formal document situation, this can be regarded as the completion of the peace agreement."

Su Jin hesitated: "Can't you wait a few days?" ”

Zhang Yuandao: "No, I have been delayed here for many days, domestic affairs are busy, but I don't have time to stay longer, if the adults insist on not wanting to negotiate quickly, I will send someone to Bianliang to ask for a meeting with the emperor of your country, and ask for an explanation." ”

Su Jin scratched his head and said, "Okay, since you are in such a hurry, how about drawing up an agreement tomorrow morning?" ”

Zhang Yuandao: "No...... That is, this afternoon, the peace meeting must be completed, and at the same time it will be announced to the world. ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, you see that I haven't prepared anything, and when I go back, I have to rearrange the negotiation location, prepare documents, paper, pen and ink and other things, it's very hasty."

Zhang Yuandao: "No, I'm ready to prepare, let's negotiate immediately in this snow." After saying that, he waved his hand to the entourage behind him, and the entourage held pen, ink, paper, inkstone, writing, and text, and even carried a few tables, chairs, and benches.

Su Jin had no reason to refuse, and waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, it seems that Master Zhang is very well prepared, so let's start." ”

Su Jin naturally refused to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and attached many clauses to the original agreement, which provoked Zhang Yuan, who was as well-cultivated as the sea, to scold loudly, but scolding and scolding, in this case, Zhang Yuan had no good choice, he had no capital to call the board, and finally agreed to these additional conditions in the scolding.

So in the south of Weizhou in the slum gathering area of a half-finished small house in front of the open space, a formal peace agreement signing ceremony between the two countries was carried out here, under the probe of the people to probe the brain, the two reached a peace agreement under the premise of the Xia State canceled the emperor, the protracted war between the two countries since four years ago was drawn in the cold Weizhou slums, the history is called: Qingli Peace Conference.

The content of this peace agreement is as follows: 1. Xia canceled the emperor's title, and the Song canonized him as the lord of the Xia country, giving him a gold and silver seal, two inches and one cent, and the text said "the seal of the lord of the Xia country".

2. The two sides shall return to the border generals and colonels who have been plundered and captured, and if there are border residents who have fled to the other side, the two sides shall arrest and repatriate them, and shall not leave them for shelter.

3. The Song Dynasty occupied by the Xia led all the Shanglu, Sickle, Nan'an, Chengping, and other border Fan and Han settlements to the Song State; The soldiers of each side retreated to their own territory, and were free to establish castles on their own territory and station their troops without the dictation of other countries.

Fourth, the 100-mile wasteland southwest of Liangzhou is set up as a buffer zone for both sides, and it is forbidden for military border residents to enter here, and the local state capital can inspect and govern it on a regular basis, but it is forbidden to station troops.

Fifth, the Song Dynasty gave Xia 10,000 catties of tea and 100,000 pieces of cloth every year to show the grace of the main country, but temporarily did not open the border market, and watched the trip of the Xia Kingdom to decide whether the field was open in the later period.

6. The two sides shall abide by this peace agreement and shall cease fighting on the same day, and from the date of this agreement, any military action against another country shall be regarded as untrustworthy and shall be punished by heaven.

These six can be said to be completely unequal treaties, the Great Song Dynasty not only obtained the promise he wanted to cancel the emperor title of Western Xia, but also further began the blockade of the Xia Kingdom, the fourth of which is not only to make a large area of the Xia Kingdom into a no-man's land that cannot be autonomous, but also Su Jin's selfish intentions, because the future smuggling channel with the Yeli tribe is in this hundreds of miles of wilderness southwest of Liangzhou, Su Jin pretended to be public and private, paving the way for his future smuggling.

Of course, the nonsense paragraph in Article 6 was strongly requested by Zhang Yuan to be added, and as soon as this agreement was signed, it meant that the Song State could no longer send troops to attack the Xia State, and tonight's military operation had been stifled.
