With regard to the territorial issue, at all times, it is at the heart of the negotiations, and it will require a little bit of scramble.

In the early stage, the two sides did not retreat from each other, Liao Xingzong's attitude was even tougher, and he was not willing to retreat at all, after a period of argument, Han Qi took a step back, and finally, at the cost of Liao Xingzong's part of the spoils, ended the battle for this land.

Lingzhou has already belonged to the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Liao State also knows that if the method of war is adopted, it is impossible to occupy Lingzhou, and in this case, it is impossible for Liao Xingzong to propose that the Northern Song Dynasty give up Lingzhou.

The starting point of the two sides was to start from Lingzhou, and at first, they also tried it, but after Han Qi's resolute denial, Liao Xingzong no longer insisted, and after a series of confrontations, especially under Han Qi's sharp edge, the result of unification was finally achieved.

The Northern Song Dynasty could move the boundaries of Lingzhou forward 30 miles as a whole, and stop at one of the tributaries of the Yellow River, which was on the eastern side, which belonged to the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty could develop it, including Lingzhou.

In addition to 30 miles, the two sides demarcated a buffer zone of 30 miles, and no troops were allowed to be stationed, this condition was reduced by almost 8 percent from Han Qi's original proposal to divide the distance from Lingzhou to Xingqing Mansion equally.

Perhaps, Han Qi's request was too scarce, or maybe Han Qi was too difficult, but in the end, Liao Xingzong agreed to the request, and after determining the demarcation line and buffer zone, he would give a certain subsidy as compensation to the Northern Song Dynasty.

The subsidy was finally calculated to be 10,000 war horses used by iron harriers, 30,000 ordinary horses, and nearly 450,000 head of livestock, including 100,000 head of cattle.

It seems that compared to the land, these are really inconspicuous in Liaoxingzong, a sheep, a horse, or even a cow, these are worthless in the eyes of Liaoxingzong, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, because of the blockade and the road, the price of a livestock is even ten times higher than the price of Liao, or even twenty times.

It seems that the insignificant gift, maybe in the Liao State, is only tens of thousands of guan, definitely not more than 100,000 guan, or snatched from the hands of Western Xia, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, just 10,000 iron harrier war horses will exceed 2 million guan, 30,000 ordinary horses will also exceed one million, 10 cattle and 300,000 sheep, basically all of them are at the million level.

This gift is almost equivalent to giving millions of yuan to the Northern Song Dynasty at once, which is much more valuable than simple land.

This is the limit that Liao Xingzong can agree, and at the cost of it, the Northern Song Dynasty will only keep such a piece of land as Lingzhou, which will extend slightly forward by 30 miles at most.

30 li, in the vast land of Liao, it seems that this is not a very small place, a little glance, to a tributary of the Yellow River, which is easy to distinguish, will not produce a slight territorial dispute.

For the Northern Song Dynasty, this area of 30 li wide and 300 li long is also a large area, with a total of more than 3 million mu of land, with the output of one mu of land and one stone, enough to support the survival of more than 300,000 people, which is a great promotion for the power of the Northern Song Dynasty in the northwest.

Pasture, and fertile land, their ability to bear, is quite different, compared with barren pasture, fertile land is easier to support more people.

This is also the fundamental reason for the huge population of Chinese, it seems that the grassland is vast, full of cattle and sheep, but how long does it take for an animal to grow, if it is purely meat, how many people can be fed, and the personnel that one mu of grassland can carry are very limited, and even thousands of acres, or even more grassland.

However, how many people can be fed by one acre of cultivated land, and the rich land in the south can receive almost 6-7 stone of grain in two seasons a year, and such an output is almost enough to feed one person.

Grassland and cultivated land, a hundred times the difference, this is also the source of the stability of the farming nation, even if it is a large-scale disaster, for the grassland people, it is an existential crisis, for the farming nation, unless it is the kind of catastrophe of the harvest, otherwise the reduction of yield, at most is a little bitter, the next year a little harder, you can move back.

Lingzhou, in the hands of the Western Xia, is just a pasture with abundant water and grass, more than 3 million mu, carrying hundreds of thousands of livestock at most, so that the pasture, that is, to feed tens of thousands of people, but in the hands of the Northern Song Dynasty, at least ten times, to a certain extent, even more than 20 times.

After solving the last problem, the Northern Song Dynasty did not intervene, and the Liao State felt a lot better, dozens of miles of land, in the eyes of the Liao State, is just a slight westward border line, this bit of land, not even a plug between the teeth.

In the camp of the Northern Song Dynasty, after Han Qi's return, it has begun to retreat, and the livestock obtained before need to be sent back to Lingzhou in batches, and now there is a promise from Liao Xingzong, whether this promise is true or false, first put what has been obtained into the bag for peace.

The team of 40,000 will only leave about 20,000 people, and the position is more than 30 miles back, completely withdrawing from the scope of Xingqing Mansion, if it is not for what Liao Xingzong promised, he has not yet gotten it, he will retreat directly.

The remaining troops left in turn, taking away the spoils they had obtained in Western Xia one by one.

Seeing that the Northern Song Dynasty had obviously withdrawn from the station circle, less than half of the remaining troops, and more Liao troops could be liberated.

The Liao State has always defended against the Northern Song Dynasty, and began to press all its strength up, and itself, it was brutally killed, and the Western Xia army, which was almost collapsed, was subjected to such heavy pressure, and immediately could not bear it, and retreated one after another, and the smoke of Xingqing Mansion was dozens more, and a lot of key places were also broken.

Xingqing Mansion is very large, there are many soldiers, and the determination to resist is also very resolute, but a problem still appears, at this time, Yuan Hao, who has not appeared for a day, still does not appear.

Yuan Haogui is the emperor of Western Xia, the god of war, and the commander of Xingqing Mansion, and his existence has a very important impact on the morale of the entire Western Xia army.

The offensive of the Liao army was surging, especially the city wall was broken, and in the face of the danger of possible extinction of the country and the species, everyone was like a chicken blood, the reason was to protect their homeland and the emperor, but this blood did not appear endlessly.

Now, with the passage of time, not only did not block the attack of the Liao army, a large number of houses were burned, and the people were slaughtered, which lowered morale in the slightest.

Whether it is from the bottom to the middle level, or even the upper level, there is this voice, especially some big families and high-level commanders, who have begun to look for Yuan Hao.

It stands to reason that now Xingqing Mansion is already in an existential crisis, and it is reasonable that it must appear, he must boost morale, guide the direction, and decide the next choice, whether to surrender or break through.

These must be made by the Supreme Commander and the Emperor, and even it is quite urgent, any slightest hesitation will greatly reduce the chance of success in the end, and Yuan Hao still did not appear, which is very strange.

In fact, they had been paying attention for hours, and from the unexpected attack, after breaking the walls, it seemed that the order had been given, and they had never appeared again.

Recall a little, it has been 4 hours, Yuan Hao did not appear, through the whole day, what does it represent, a commander, a top level, at this key point in the city, disappeared for 4 hours, did he escape?

Although Yuan Hao's character is unlikely to do such a thing, no one would have thought that a simple war, Western Xia was already at the brink of extinction, and no one could think of it.

In any case, it is necessary to confirm whether Yuan Hao is still there, and after the high-level and the big nobles agreed on it, they took the risk to open the palace door, but found that the palace was also a mess, and no one had seen any trace of Yuan Hao, not only Yuan Hao, but also the 1000 personal guards who personally protected Yuan Hao.

If Yuan Hao is no longer alone, maybe he is hiding somewhere, or something has happened, and even the 1,000 guards of his cronies are gone, then there is only one possibility, that is, they all ran away.

Sure enough, it was done very absolutely, even the high-level generals who have always been favored, relatives Wenchen, did not take any of them, only took away 1000 absolutely trusted guards, how could they not know that they were abandoned by Yuan Hao as an outcast.

The humiliation arose, but the bigger question was, what to do now, yes, what to do now, the shouts of killing have spread throughout most of Xingqing Mansion, and the strategic places have been broken one after another, and Xingqing Mansion is already in danger.

They know very well that even if Yuan Hao is there, this situation will not be able to turn the tables, but at the very least, there is a leader to help them make decisions, even if they surrender, there is a leader.

Now, Yuan Hao is gone, the whole situation is torn apart, and the determination to resist has dissipated in an instant.

The big families and the big nobles got together and began to discuss what to do about this matter, and some elite troops were drawn from the front line.

Sure enough, the direct feeling of the Liao army was that the resistance began to weaken, and some powerful soldiers barely appeared, and they continued to advance for about 1 hour, and some nobles from Western Xia began to contact the Liao State.

They really gathered a lot of strength, 60,000 iron harriers, 40,000 Poxi troops, and some personal guards, a total of 130,000 troops, collectively surrendered to the Liao State, demanding that the Liao lord maintain their treatment and decency.

When the city was broken just now, Liao Xingzong would definitely not agree, but now, the Western Xia army has shown their strength in the street battles in the city, in this case, if these powerful troops shrink into the palace city, the miniature version of the Xixia palace city is a small dock fort, and it will really have to pay a lot of price.

To obtain these troops, although the Liao State cannot use them, they can still be used for tricks, especially for the henchmen who have always been careful.
