(Thanks to liiiip and wood-hdc for the monthly passes, the new month, it is said that all accounts that have consumed last month this month have guaranteed monthly passes, and I ask for a few of them.) ）

"Xia must cancel the emperor's title, and my Great Song Emperor Song canonized him as the lord of Xia, give him the "Xia State Lord Seal", allow himself to be an official subordinate, call me a minister to the Great Song Dynasty, and serve the Great Song Dynasty as Zhengshuo; The generals, soldiers, and households of our Great Song Dynasty who were captured in the war were returned to the other party; Henceforth, if the people of the two sides of the border flee to the territory of the other side, they are not allowed to send troops to pursue them, and the two sides may return the fugitives to each other; The Song Dynasty occupied by the Xia Dynasty led to the Shanglu, Sickle, Nan'an, Chengping, and other border areas of the Han Dynasty to be returned to us; Both sides are free to build castles on their own territory; Whether or not my Great Song Dynasty garrisons on the border is not your turn to make irresponsible remarks; This is the peace negotiation condition of my Great Song Dynasty, you can decide for yourself. ”

Zhang Yuan's eyes widened angrily and said: "Absolutely not, you are an insult to my Great Xia, my Great Xia has already established a country, how can I cancel the emperor's title, won't this make the world laugh at my weak and incompetent Great Xia?" ”

Su Jin sneered: "Say you're smart, but you're actually very stupid, let me ask you, is it important to lose face or lose the country?" I have made it clear that you are allowed to buy your own official subordinates, you only need to call me a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and serve the Great Song Dynasty as the right Shuo, in fact, what you have lost is just face, and what I want in the Great Song Dynasty is also a face, otherwise why raise troops to fight with you for several years? Li Yuanhao can be the emperor behind closed doors, as long as he is openly declared a minister, he can be regarded as giving me an explanation to the Song court; I'm thinking about this for your sake, and if you don't understand this, our peace talks are meaningless. ”

Zhang Yuan said categorically: "No, you must not agree, such a peace negotiation is an unfair peace negotiation, and you are insincere." ”

Su Jin sighed: "Okay, maybe you can't be the master, but I believe that Li Yuanhao won't be so stupid, if you don't agree, you can send someone back to China to ask Li Yuanhao what he means, I don't care about waiting a few more days, these days will be wronged by the noble envoy to stay in the post house for a few days, when do you want to talk, send someone to inform me, I still have important things to do, please forgive me for not accompanying me!" ”

Su Jin got up and went back to the inner hall, leaving Zhang Yuan, who was pale, standing in the hall, gritting his teeth angrily.

Li Zhong, the prefect of Weizhou, arranged for the summer envoy Zhang Yuan to stay in the Weizhou Pavilion Station, and instructed the people to take care of it, and the two countries did not cut off the envoys, and they were naturally polite to the envoys.

Zhang Yuan returned to the official post and immediately convened subordinate officials to discuss countermeasures, the Song people had a tough attitude, which was diametrically opposed to the expectations before coming, this time he came with Li Yuanhao's trust, Li Yuanhao told him to negotiate peace with the Song people, Zhang Yuan also understood that the reason why Li Yuanhao, who had always been arrogant, was so low was actually a forbearance move, and the country really couldn't withstand a big war.

However, Zhang Yuan never expected that the conditions of the Song State were close to his bottom line, and he wanted to cancel the emperor's title and openly claim the title, which Zhang Yuan never dared to call the shots, Li Yuanhao did everything to be the emperor, if he rashly agreed to such conditions, Li Yuanhao would definitely cut off his head without hesitation.

After discussing and discussing, Zhang Yuan decided to follow Su Jin's will to send someone back to China immediately to invite Li Yuanhao, Zhang Yuan immediately wrote down the conditions of the Song people, did not attach any of his own opinions, and ordered people to hurry back to Xingqing Mansion to ask for his life.

At the same time, in order to force Xia Guo to submit, Su Jin also wrote a letter to Fan Zhongyan in Yanzhou, asking Fan Zhongyan to cooperate with his actions in order to negotiate; And Jingyuan Ludu deployed the deputy commander Pan Jiang, under the instruction of Su Jin, and immediately assembled the military horses from Jingzhou, Yuanzhou, Lanzhou and other places to come to Weizhou.

After more than ten days, the armies of all walks of life have arrived in Weizhou, the entire Weizhou city gathered more than 80,000 soldiers and horses, Jingyuan Road Weizhou left near the state capital in addition to the necessary daily duty officers and soldiers all gathered in Weizhou, Zhang Yuan in Weizhou City of course will not be idle, although he and Su Jin can not meet, but he is wandering on the street every day, at first there is nothing, but a few days later, he found that the city on the road every day soldiers and horses are endless, grain trucks, weapons and siege equipment flowing water into Weizhou City, Zhang Yuan is certainly not easy to fool, Originally, he sneered secretly, obviously this is Su Jin playing tricks, maybe the soldiers and horses from Weizhou come and go, and the materials are just a few carts that come and go, maybe the sacks of the grain carts are filled with soil, which is not surprising at all.

But soon Zhang Yuan found that his judgment was wrong, and he ordered his Han soldiers to inquire about the news with the Song soldiers who drove in, and came to the conclusion that those soldiers were all from different state capitals, and they all said that they were coming to Weizhou to assemble, saying that they were going to fight a big battle, but they didn't say who they were fighting with.

The soldiers who inquired on the other side secretly went to the left side of the Song army's warehouse, and saw with their own eyes that a cart of grain was stacked into grain stacks, hundreds of stacks of grain were hundreds of thousands of stones, and the accent of the person pulling the cart was not the accent of the northwest, and followed them into the teahouse to eavesdrop, and learned that they were all transporting grain from the south of the Huaiyang area, which made Zhang Yuan even more frightened.

Obviously, the large-scale assembly of the Song army, and the transfer of grain and grass from the southern states to hoard, weapons and equipment are also being prepared, which is exactly what it means to fight, as for who to fight? This fool can guess it.

Zhang Yuan waited anxiously and hesitantly for Li Yuanhao's holy decree, and as expected, Li Yuanhao scolded Zhang Yuan for being incompetent, and that he could never agree to such conditions, and asked Zhang Yuan to try his best to fight for the interests of Great Xia.

Zhang Yuan turned Li Yuanhao's ancestors upside down for eight generations, and everything Li Yuanhao in Weizhou was still in the dark, didn't know that the Song people didn't think about anything at all, as long as they said a word, the Song people would immediately announce the breakdown of the negotiations, just taking this opportunity to attack.

Zhang Yuansi thought about it and decided to report the situation here again to Li Yuanhao and ask him to make a decision, and at the same time he must delay the date of the Song army to send troops and wait for Li Yuanhao's final instructions; Before the soldiers who were sending the letters to and from were able to catch their breath, they were sent on the way home again, carrying Zhang Yuan's record of Weizhou's observations; And Zhang Yuan no longer had the leisure to wander around Weizhou City or drink tea in the official post, he hurriedly ordered someone to ask to see Su Jin and ask to continue negotiations.

Su Jin didn't shake off his head, and restarted negotiations with Zhang Yuan in the hall of the government as promised, and asked Zhang Yuan in the first sentence: "Can Li Yuanhao agree to my Great Song Dynasty's request for him to cancel the emperor's title?" ”

Zhang Yuanzhi said: "This ...... The will has not yet come, and I am still waiting for news. ”

Su Jin was displeased and said: "Your envoy is not telling the truth, my subordinates clearly told me that the soldiers you sent to ask for an order have returned, how can there be no will?" I'm afraid I don't agree, right? ”

Zhang Yuan said helplessly: "This ...... Indeed, there is a will, but my Lord did not say no, and there was no clear indication in the will, so ......"

Su Jin suddenly got up and said, "It turns out that your envoy is here to entertain me, since I didn't agree, then what else are we talking about?" I still have a lot of affairs; These days are busy, and we will soon ...... cough cough ......" Su Jin was shocked to say that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly covered his mouth and coughed twice to cover up.

Zhang Yuan pretended not to notice, and said with a smile: "Master Su, don't worry, I have asked for a clear answer again, but before that, the following terms also need to be considered by each other, so that as soon as my emperor's decree arrives, we can directly sign the peace agreement, and it will save time for delay." ”

Su Jin excused himself and said: "That's not necessary, the key is that you cancel the emperor's title, and the rest is easy to discuss, and then you can rest in half a day, you can rest in peace." ”

Zhang Yuan would never let Su Jin get out, he understood that Su Jin was bound to be busy with the summer season, and only by dragging him on the negotiating table could he delay the time of the Song army's attack, so he said: "Master Su, even if there is nothing to talk about below, I think I, Zhang Yuan, am also a character, we are just our own masters, but we have no personal enmity, and it is very rude for you to treat me like this; In fact, I have great admiration for Lord Su, and I wanted to invite Lord Su to have a few drinks today, while negotiating the terms below, and making friends with Lord Su, but I didn't expect Lord Su to treat me like this. ”

Su Jin smiled: "Lord Zhang will have the intention of befriending me Su Jin?" I don't believe it. ”

Zhang Yuandao: "I have admired the name of Lord Su for a long time, and I will not lose the wind against my Great Xia male soldiers in the year of the weak crown, as the saying goes: Heroes cherish heroes, although my Great Xia lost in Weizhou, but my court is full of praise for Lord Su, and I will not tell you that I have a sense of awe for Lord Su in Great Xia." ”

Su Jin laughed and said, "Don't tease me, I'm afraid you can't wait to sleep on my skin and eat my flesh." ”

Zhang Yuanzheng said: "How come? My Emperor of Great Xia also said that if the peace between the two countries is completed, he wants to marry his beloved daughter to an adult, and exchange relatives and relatives. ”

Su Jin was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Princess Ahri, is it?" ”

Zhang Yuan was stunned and said, "How do you know the name of my Princess Xingping?" ”

Su Jin hurriedly covered up: "Isn't Li Yuanhao just a daughter?" Princess Ahri is said to be the best in the world, and naturally it is known to the world, what is so strange about this? ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Sure enough, even the Song people know that my Princess Xingping is unparalleled in beauty, so you should believe that I don't have any hatred for adults in Daxia, right?" ”

Su Jin pretended to be salivating and whispered: "If this is really the case, then I will ask Master Zhang to make a match." ”

Zhang Yuan scolded in his stomach, will Princess Xingping marry you? Less dreaming; You are a small road envoy, and I am the enemy of Daxia, after the peace agreement is concluded, I will inevitably raise troops to attack the Song Dynasty in a few years, and the first person to cut off at that time is your head, and you are still here to dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival.

There was a smile on his face, and he said: "That's natural, this matter is on me, Master Su is young and handsome, handsome and handsome, and he happens to be a couple with Princess Xingping." ”

Su Jin was overjoyed and said: "Okay, I invited this wine today, come here, serve wine and food, and inform Governor Li and Commander Pan, if there is any business to report, I will accompany Master Zhang to drink a few glasses in the afternoon." ”
