Everyone rushed to Yongzhou, and the news suddenly increased, and many situations could be known more clearly.

At present, it is the negotiation between the Liao and Song Dynasties, and he can't deal with Xu Yun for the time being, so he is taking into account the overall situation, stationing troops in the river, and restraining the Liao army.

Although the Liao State seemed to have won an overwhelming victory at this time, the domestic situation of the Liao State was not optimistic, and it was not suitable for a long war. They made two preparations, it would be best if they could negotiate, and if they couldn't, they would not be afraid to fight to feed the war.

The Great Song Dynasty was so excited that even the gentry of Jujia donated money and grain to the imperial court, willing to obey the dispatch of the imperial court, and it was not advantageous to transport grain and herbs to the north for disaster relief. In this case, even if the Liao army attacked, it may not be without the strength to fight.

The difference in chips between the two sides is not too big.

The envoys of the two countries have been at a stalemate at the negotiating table for half a month, and no conclusion has been reached for a long time.

The Liao State could withdraw its troops, but the condition was that the territory should be redrawn and bounded by the Mo River, and all the places, including Zhending Mansion and Hejian Province, would belong to the Liao State. This is still the most difficult concession made by the Liao State after half a month of talking.

As a result, the territory of the Liao State approached the border for dozens of miles.

"Hit! I don't believe that the million-strong army of the Great Song Dynasty can't stop the Liao army! The restaurant was full of people, and some people slapped the table angrily, "The history of the sixteen states of Yanyun cannot be repeated!" ”

Yasuku occupied a table in the corner, listening to the movement in the lobby while eating.

As soon as the man's voice fell, the surrounding echoes began, and the vast majority of people were in favor of fighting.

This is still the case in such a remote place, and you can imagine the situation in the north.

There are also humanitarians, "But it is said that the three roads in Hebei have suffered from a major drought, and the people will not be able to make a living if they don't fight." If it really starts, the consequences will be ...... It's unpredictable. ”

As soon as the remarks came out. Immediately someone objected, "That can't divide the land of the two roads either!" There is a precedent for this. Since Taizu, he has tried to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, but what is the result? After several generations, instead of recovering the homeland, do you still have to row out! If you want to fight, you will fight to the death, unless the Liao people can slaughter all the people of our Great Song Dynasty, otherwise they will not give up an inch of land! ”

Another person, "It's not that there is no chance, General Ling was able to capture Xijin Mansion in one fell swoop, which shows that this matter is promising." Qingshan is still in the wood, why worry about no firewood? It's better than being out of place! ”

The people in the lobby exchanged words over these two views, and in the end, the main side won.

"Should this battle be fought or not?" Li Qingzhi asked quietly.

Sui Yunzhu said, "Whether to fight or not is up to the imperial court, what's the benefit of thinking more?" ”

An Jiu felt that this battle could not be fought. She doesn't understand politics, but she often carries out tasks, and when faced with a strong target, she will never rush to assassinate him desperately, but lie in the shadows and wait for the best opportunity to kill with a single move. The same should be true between countries.

Therefore, she felt that the Liao State would continue to retreat, and the negotiation time would not be delayed for too long, after all, the Liao State army was very consumed abroad. One more day and they were all in a hurry.

As An Jiu expected, on the twenty-fourth day, the two sides finally reached an agreement-

Since the Alliance of the Abyss. The Great Song Dynasty paid 100,000 taels of silver to the Liao State every year. Since this year, it has been changed to 250,000 taels, as well as a lot of food, utensils, beauties, etc. It is also bounded by Hejian Province. The land north of Hejian Province allowed the Liao people to graze...... All of the above are signed by the letter of state, and the Great Song Dynasty "calls the ministers and pays tribute".

After the letter of state was signed, it was transmitted to Yongzhou more than a month later.

The boiling folk suddenly fell silent, and the entire Great Song Dynasty lost its voice for a short time. No one discussed, no one objected, no one was happy, as if they were all stunned.

However, in fact, this is already a good result.

In the past, the Great Song Dynasty brothers served the Liao Kingdom, and they paid the New Year's coin every year, which was actually no different from the minister, but now it is just sitting on the ground, and then the annual coin increases, and the Great Song Dynasty can afford 150,000 taels of silver. But for most scholars, they would rather cede the land than accept the "tribute of the minister"! Being a vassal also means that the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State are no longer equal countries, but slaved countries. This humiliation is even more humiliating than compensation everywhere!

In addition to paying the Liao State a year's coin, the Great Song Dynasty also gave 50,000 taels of silver to the Western Xia, although it was nominally to appease the vassal state, but the nature was the same.

After a brief moment of shock, a sense of grief and indignation pervaded.

Scholars and others began to be dissatisfied with reality and secretly attacked them. Folk satirical ballads flew around, and the imperial court launched a military suppression of them, temporarily suppressing these objections.

In mid-June, the Holy Decree recalled Xu Yun.

Although Xu Yun is a fierce general, he is too careful for his courtiers, and he has been shrouded in the aura of Ling Ziyue when he was in Hebei, and his reputation is naturally inferior, coupled with the fall of 70,000 soldiers this time, there are few people in the whole court, even including the people, who intercede for him.

Xu Yun was ordered to return to the court, and on the same day, he wrote a 2,000-word petition and submitted it. After that, he carried a sword and cut himself at the gate of the palace to clear his innocence.

When several Zaisuke arrived when they heard the news, they saw only the corpse lying in a pool of blood.

Looking at the whole thing, Xu Yun just fell into the trap, which led to the loss of the war. Originally, victory and defeat were a common thing in soldiers, but the consequences of his defeat were too serious.

Liao's plan to get rid of the two generals of the Great Song Dynasty and exchange them for the Great Song Dynasty was a complete victory.

At this time, some people couldn't help but think that if Ling Ziyue hadn't stopped him from continuing to attack Liao, and Ling Ziyue hadn't died, he might still end up at the negotiating table, but the situation was mostly the opposite.

Today's saints are now beyond repentance.

Fortunately, due to the low temperature some time ago, the plague on the three roads of Hebei was stopped before it spread in a large area, and the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After this, the emperor suddenly fell ill.

Many court officials who had not stood in line before began to secretly choose another good master, and there was a sense of tension between the crown prince and the second prince for a while.

The affairs of the imperial court came one after another, but the pursuit of Ling Ziyue and his people was suspended, especially after the emperor fell ill, no one mentioned this matter.

Chu Dingjiang was temporarily inconvenient to get out, so he sent someone to Yongzhou to spread the news.

An Jiu left Bianjing in winter, and when he returned, it was another winter, and it was still a snowy day.

She saw Chu Dingjiang in a black cloak in the snow, and she was in a trance, as if the time she left was just a turn.

An Jiu stepped on the snow, walked up to him step by step, and said with a smile, "I'm back." ”

Chu Dingjiang didn't speak, and reached out to take her into his arms.

After a while, he let go of his hand, "You guys go back to the plum blossoms to find Sheng Changying first." ”

"Okay." Sui Yunzhu led the others to leave together, leaving An Jiu alone.

"I knew you would break your word." An Jiu raised his hand and brushed off his hood, "It's a good year, if we can't come back, you still won't be able to leave!" (To be continued......)
