Su Jin slowly got up and said: "Lord Zhang, I heard that you Xia people mean that you are quite unconvinced by the defeat of this battle, and under this premise, this negotiation will definitely not have a good result, so I propose to suspend this negotiation; You go back and tell Li Yuanhao that the two sides will be entangled in a big army battle until one side beats the other side to the point that it has no temper and recognizes the current situation, and then we can sit down and talk about it again? ”

Zhang Yuan got up angrily and said: "Master Su, I respect you everywhere, but you are pressing step by step, don't think that my Great Xia soldiers have no strength to fight, you can try it, you dare to invade my Great Xia, discipline you and return home." ”

Su Jin laughed and said: "Everyone will say big words, I only ask you, is your army gnawing bark and grass stalks to fight us?" Don't slap a swollen face and become fat, I'm afraid you can only eat human flesh if you fight again! I am very clear about the current situation of your Great Xia, the official warehouse is empty, the people are not able to make a living, after years of war, the fields are uncultivated, the cattle and sheep are not grazing, and it has reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I'm afraid the situation in your country is not much better. ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "It seems that you have been away from the Great Song Dynasty that gave birth to you and raised you for too long, and you have long forgotten what kind of country my Great Song Dynasty is, I might as well tell you that this year, my Great Song Dynasty has a good wind and rain, and the grain harvest is a year of great harvest, and the grain output in the autumn and summer of this year has reached 140 million stones, and now my Great Song Dynasty treasury is sufficient, and the soldiers are strong and strong; If you don't believe it, you can send your meticulous work to visit all parts of my Great Song Dynasty; Fighting a war is not by mouth, sufficient food and grass is the guarantee, this heavy snowfall, I am afraid that you Xia people will be hungry and cold, hurry up and find a way to solve the stomach problem is serious, don't want face first, no stomach is no face, you should understand this truth better than me. ”

Zhang Yuan naturally knew the harvest of the Great Song Dynasty this year, these information are important news that must be heard every year, Su Jin's words are true, and Su Jin's words are his weakness, there is indeed a famine in the Great Xia, this year's winter is early, the heavy snow fell early, it is even worse, one of the purposes of this negotiation is not only a truce, but also a mission with Li Yuanhao to ask him to get food from the Song State.

Su Jin continued: "My Great Song Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness, and my Great Song Emperor is a benevolent and forgiving monarch, if this is the case, we will negotiate peace with you, in fact, from my personal point of view, I strongly recommend leading the army to level Xingqing Mansion in one fell swoop, and let Li Yuanhao kneel in front of my Great Song Emperor to ask for guilt; To be honest, this negotiation is of no interest to me, and it is still the same sentence, we don't have to talk about it, if you want to talk, do what I say, otherwise I will not be blamed for terminating the negotiation immediately. ”

Zhang Yuan sneered: "The Great Xia has been passed down for several generations, and it has its own reason for existence, no one can say that it will be destroyed if it is destroyed, not to mention that how can the Liao Kingdom sit back and watch my Great Xia be annexed by you?" I might as well tell you that the Emperor of Liao has agreed to my request from the Emperor of Great Xia to help me with tens of millions of stones of grain in Great Xia to help me tide over the difficulties. ”

Su Jin laughed and said, "Tens of millions of stones? Are you fooling children? Hundreds of thousands of stones are considered to give you face, if you want to say that Li Yuanhao is really not a thing, he was a scoundrel with the Liao State at the beginning, married the sister of Liao Xingzong, but he ignored the scandal of others, put a Liao princess in the northwest and was lonely and withered, and finally died of illness, then Li Yuanhao didn't even look at it; Not only that, but you also openly accepted the Liao rebels to harass on the border of Liao, and the angry Liao almost vomited blood; Now that you are in trouble, and you run to beg others, are you pitiful? Besides, when you had the advantage, you asked the Liao people to attack my Great Song Dynasty together, did the Liao people take care of you? Now that you are poor, they will not help you, maybe I should suggest that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty send someone to envoy the Liao State to make an appointment to march together to attack you, they get half of us, we get half of you and divide you, I think ninety percent of the Liao people will agree. ”

Zhang Yuan was secretly frightened, although this kid is open-mouthed, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not really do this, now that the country is declining, the Liao people are not really able to fight a rake, how can there be any real friendship in this world, driven by huge interests, the Liao people may really be tempted.

Su Jin smiled and looked at the contemplative Zhang Yuandao: "Lord Zhang, in fact, I am quite sympathetic to you, I heard that you were originally a member of my Great Song Dynasty, but you only defected to the barbarian clan after repeated failures in the imperial examination. It can be seen that you are living a very nourishing life now, but have you thought about it, everything you have is dependent on Li Yuanhao, if my army sets foot on the tribal city of the party people, what kind of fate will you Zhang Yuan have at that time? ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I don't need you to worry about my future. ”

Su Jin smiled: "I don't have the heart to worry about you, I just want to remind you, don't be reckless, take out your ability to judge the situation, now is not the time for you to be strong; There is no personal grudge between you and me, we just stand on different sides, and I don't want to fight, but if you don't repent, then you can only fight again. ”

Zhang Yuan took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead, he finally knew how difficult this Su Jin was to deal with, although Zhang Yuan wanted to say stiffly: "See you on the battlefield." But as soon as he thought of Li Yuanhao's special instructions before leaving, as well as the mess in the country, his confidence disappeared without a trace; There is no doubt that if you don't fight, you will lose; If you go to negotiate peace after defeat, don't say that others will not be reasonable, even if others agree to negotiate peace, the conditions will inevitably be extremely harsh, rather than accepting more harsh conditions at that time, it is better to keep a low profile at this time to avoid fighting again.

"Master Su, we don't have to be so rash, we came here to negotiate peace, I didn't think of coming to fight with your country, in fact, this time we put forward the conditions for peace are very sincere, and your country will definitely be extremely satisfied."

Su Jin smiled: "Tell me how to have a sincerity method?" ”

Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I, Great Xia, am willing to promise to retreat fifty miles, and never enter the Song Realm for half a step, and the two sides will divide the boundaries according to the pre-war territory, and become good for eternity, and do not invade each other, how about this?" ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "According to the division of the territory before the war, I agree to non-aggression against each other, the rest is nonsense, whether to retreat or not is your own business, we can't control it, anyway, my Great Song soldiers will not evacuate the border." ”

Zhang Yuan was stunned and said, "You don't retreat?" Wouldn't our withdrawal give you an opportunity? ”

Su Jin laughed and said: "If you are sincere, why are you afraid that we will take advantage of it?" Obviously, you have a ghost in your heart. ”

Zhang Yuanchang blushed and said: "How can there be a reason why we will not retreat, isn't that unfair?" ”

Su Jin said: "Joke, we didn't ask you to withdraw from the army, you can still be stationed in the same place." ”

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said, "That's it, let's modify it according to Master Su's wishes." ”

Su Jin said: "I didn't force you. ”

Zhang Yuan did not answer, and continued: "The second is that we hope that your country can resume trade with our Great Xia, and the border markets between the two sides will be reopened for trade. ”

Su Jin smiled and asked, "Is there any communication?" Can I buy your horses? ”

Zhang Yuandao: "How can that be, this is a forbidden thing for trade." ”

Su Jin said: "What is that called?" Then don't do this one, except for the war horse, I Da Song has nothing to want to trade, and our market should not be opened. ”

Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "Don't you need our green salt fur beef and mutton?" ”

Su Jin sneered: "Qingyan? We have sea salt along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the taste is not much worse after selection, as for fur and the like, I have good cloth and silk silk in the Great Song Dynasty, and cotton is not much more than fur, and my Great Song Dynasty territory is dominated by warm weather, no need to wear your bulky fur, as for meat, there is no need for it, rivers, lakes, sea fish, shrimp, turtles, and poultry raised by the Song Dynasty are as many as cow hair, and it is not necessary to eat the meat of the party people. ”

Zhang Yuanqi was so angry that he thought for a while and said, "Then can we be allowed to buy your things, such as grain, tea, etc.?" The price will be according to your market price. ”

Su Jin reported his arm and said: "Don't talk! ”

Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "I don't agree with this, so what else are we talking about?" ”

Su Jin sneered: "You're here to talk about peace, not to do business, don't make a mistake." ”

Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "Then the third article, let's still reply to your country's annual tribute to me before the war, the amount remains the same, and my Great Xia will never ask for an extra penny, which is sincere enough." ”

Su Jin laughed and said, "You're crazy, who of us cares who wants to pay tribute?" You are still shy to say it, this matter is still two words: don't talk about it! ”

Zhang Yuan was completely angry, and squinted at Su Jin and said: "I understand, it turns out that Lord Su is not here to negotiate peace, but to sabotage the peace talks, I ask your country to change the negotiating envoy, and you can't negotiate at all." ”

Su Jin took a sip and said: "It's useless to change anyone, and no one will agree to your request; I'm not here to sabotage the peace talks, I'm here to negotiate the peace, but the terms of the peace talks are not up to you Tangut people, but to listen to us. ”

Zhang Yuan said in a loud voice: "What about your conditions?" Why not talk about it? ”

Su Jin shouted: "Dig out your earwax and listen to it to me, my conditions are very simple, there is only one, you promise us to stop fighting, if you don't agree, I will play the emperor, and lead the army to level every inch of your Xia people's land!" ”
