After returning to Beijing before Emperor Daxing's handling team, he investigated the emotional feedback of the people and the army. Everyone was sad but the situation was good and there was no chaos.

The Great Demon King was very pleased with this.

The death of an emperor who reigned for a very long time and was basically accepted by the mainstream was definitely a bombshell in ancient times, and it would have a great impact.

However, based on the soil of the Great Song Dynasty, the crown prince had been formally established before, and there was news that on the occasion of the military parade in Dengzhou, the great demon king at the peak of power announced in public after the old royal line: he will return to power to the new emperor as soon as possible.

This is a loss of power for the Great Demon King, but it is a morale boost for the Great Song. In this way, even the children on the streets and alleys know that the upper class of the Great Song Dynasty is politically stable, and there will be no dumping.

Otherwise, according to the laws of history, this kind of time happens to be the confrontation stage between the new emperor and the old ministers, and in such a tug-of-war, no matter how strong the front-line army is, there is a possibility that it will be trapped.

But the Great Demon King is high-spirited, in front of the crowd, countless new and old bureaucrats of different parties, countless generals and ordinary people, the Great Demon King has decided to return to power. In addition to being a symbol of stability, this really twisted the whole country into a whole on the occasion of this special benevolent emperor.

As long as the politics were not chaotic, the emperor's great act became the driving force of the state during this period.

In such a climate, the Great Demon King was further emboldened, and after returning to Beijing, he summoned Xiao Asu, the diplomatic envoy of the Liao State, at the end of April.

This guy is not well-known, he is a member of the Liao clan and the concubine of Princess Yelu Baqin. In order to improve the diplomatic standards of this time, Yelu Hongji temporarily added him the title of governor of the Northern Prefecture of Liao.

Xiao Asu, who had a rough temperament, approached the cardinal mansion and saluted: "Xiao Asu, the special envoy of the Northern Dynasty, has seen the Southern Dynasty's Privy Council. ”

Wang Yan looked at him for a while and nodded slightly: "Ambassador Xiao is polite, don't be restrained, sit down and say." ”

"Thank you, Privy Secret."

Xiao Asu was slightly flattered, and saw that someone brought the best tea, and hurriedly drank two sips and felt very refreshing.

As a person, he has no enmity with Wang Yan, but some words are diplomatic procedures in this era, and they must be taken out to run, so Xiao Asu put down the tea bowl and said: "Privy Secret, I don't know if you have been reading the newspaper recently?" Is that your own official newspaper in the Southern Dynasty? ”

"Look at it every day, and then what?" Wang Yan blinked.

"It seems to be written, my Liao Emperor's beloved Emperor of the Song Kingdom, Daxing, at this critical juncture, why is the Xuan Privy in such a hurry to return to Beijing? Don't care about the emperor's funeral? Xiao Asu said with a smile.

"Remove this guy's tea." Da Yan said decisively.

"You ......" Xiao Asu was also speechless about this, but he couldn't help it.

Looking at Xiao Asu Shaoqing again, Wang Yan said: "This is not an official occasion, but it is the place to set the tone." You and I put away all the routines, I'm very busy, you see that my emperor is in such a hurry to return to Beijing, you know that I have a lot of opportunities. To put it simply, what are you here for? I don't have time to listen, my million-strong division is waiting for the cardinal's battle order. ”

Xiao Asu couldn't help but twitch his cheeks slightly, and the millions of male masters listened very harshly, and they were suspected of whitewashing themselves. But at this time, most of the flames on the battlefield were extinguished by the Great Demon King, not to mention the new mobilization, even among the old army, he could barely do it if he wanted to draw out a million.

So after thinking about it for a moment, Xiao Asu said: "Come and ask for peace." ”

"It's okay." Wang Yan also got straight to the point: "To put it simply, at this point, my Great Song Dynasty does not want to fight a big war anymore, and there is no problem with seeking peace as the appeal of both sides, but based on the fact that our Great Song Dynasty was invaded, based on the resources invested in our Great Patriotic War, and referring to the scale of casualties, according to the principle of 'stealing one and punishing three', there are suggestions as follows:"

"First, the Liao State peacefully ceded at least fifteen states of Yanyun and returned these legal lands of the Han family since ancient times."

"The second is that the Liao State signed a defeat agreement and accepted the conditions for defeat, that is, the Great Song Dynasty garrisoned the Liao State and the Liao State disarmed the tribes."

"Third, jointly develop all minerals within the territory of Liao."

"Fourth, Yelu Hongji can be exempted, but Xiao Hui, the main person responsible for the war, needs to be handed over to the Song side to start a trial for war crimes."

At this point, Wang Yan stopped.

This caused Xiao Asu to almost squirt out the tea he had just drunk.

Not to mention the four points, none of these conditions can be met. From this point of view, the intention of the Song State to negotiate is not strong?

Xiao Asu stood up and said: "It's too much to deceive people!" Do you really think that after losing the battle between the north and the south, my Great Liao Kingdom will completely extinguish the fire? ”

Wang Yan said lightly: "I didn't say that Liaoguo is out of flames, but since you want to talk, I have already made conditions, and this is the result I hope to get." ”

Xiao Asu sneered: "My Great Liao Kingdom still has a million soldiers, and the population resources of the eight Khitan tribes have developed over the years, and they have already exceeded 10 million people, according to the characteristics of nomadism, a quarter of the people who pick up the sword are warriors at critical moments." Even if my Yanyun region is in danger and has been invaded by you, the offensive and defensive initiative has been changed, this is true, but if you want to say that you Song State can not pay the price, I am afraid that you don't believe it yourself. ”

Wang Yan said-for-tat: "What you said is not groundless, otherwise where would I be interested?" If I could stab you nomadic wolves to death, do you think I'd be soft? But there's one variable that you don't seem to say selectively. The support for the population size of your Khitan Eight Divisions is coming from the rich Yanyun region. If Yanyun falls, and no matter how large-scale street battles my Song army will choose, at least I can make Yanyun stop transfusing blood to Mobei. In this case, you know better than I that your so-called mass nomadic warriors, I am afraid that they were more interested in killing each other in order to obtain new pasture resources. Without Yanyun's blood transfusion, unless your pasture continues to expand, the land will not have such a large carrying capacity. ”

Xiao Asu said: "There is some truth in this statement five years ago, but now Mobei has changed a lot, under the earliest self-reliant thinking of His Majesty the Emperor, now we have our own productive forces and industry, and the carrying capacity of the land has been greatly improved, is it false?" ”

Wang Yan said: "You know and I also know that most of your industrial scale is concentrated in the Yanyun area suitable for production, once Yanyun falls, you will not be able to effectively fight back for a certain period of time, and it is inevitable to stop cooking." ”

After a pause, Wang Yan said: "Assuming that your so-called theory that one-quarter of the herdsmen can become warriors is valid, I won't say where your country has the production capacity to arm them. I just want to say, if your theory of a quarter of the fighters' conversion rate is true, then the one-thirty warrior conversion rate of our nation is sure to be completed, and the logistics margin is sufficient, you know what that means? This meant that for a maximum of one year, the Great Song would have four million mechanized troops into the war, concentrating on the Northern Liao battlefield while the flames in other regions had subsided. If it goes to such a process and the two sides do not turn around, it is a war of extermination, and it is not beyond my control. ”

Xiao Asu couldn't help but change his color even if he was tough, saying that the conversion rate of a quarter of the herdsmen's warriors might be certain, but the Great Demon King said that the conversion rate of one-thirty warriors of Hanmin was not an exaggeration. If it really escalates to that level, it is really a war of extermination as he said, and it is not in anyone's control.

"This ......" Xiao Asu couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

"In order to avoid such a war situation, both of us must be calm, face up to our own problems, admit our mistakes, and admit our losses. And there must be a price to lose, which you should know before you go down. Don't cry now. Wang Yan said.

"However, the request of the Privy Council is really humiliating and unbearable." Xiao Asu said helplessly.

"You've lost." Wang Yan knocked on the table and said, "Say the important thing three times: lose, lose, lose." Didn't you realize that you lost the war? Why can't such a simple problem be taken seriously? ”

Xiao Asu couldn't help but have black lines on his face, and chose to be silent.

Whether to escalate the war to a situation of national life and death, Xiao Asu can't even think about it. This must have put a lot of pressure on the Great Song Dynasty, but to this day, no one doubts their combat power and mobilization power.

It's a pity that this is not something that Xiao Asu can decide, or even Emperor Liao.

To a certain extent, it has indeed lost, and cutting meat has become the consensus of the Great Liao State. Yelu Hongji didn't want to cut it, because after losing the battle between the north and the south, no one in the comprador group and the elite class in Beijing thought that the Liao State still had something to do, and if the Song army continued to push forward, the slavery career of those powerful people in Beijing would come to an end, so none of them wanted to see it.

But Liao really wanted to talk, but unfortunately he couldn't agree to the request of the Great Demon King, and Xiao Asu didn't have that much authorization.

Xiao Asu said, "If the Privy Counsellor can properly relax the conditions and give us some time, I, Xiao Asu, promise to return to Beijing as soon as possible to negotiate a truce between the two sides." ”

"Still talking about an armistice? You're defeated! The Great Demon King continued to slap the table and intimidate.

Xiao Asu simply said: "Even so, if you really have the sincerity to talk, how can you not give time, how can you not give in at all?" ”

Wang Yan also paused slightly, thought about it for a while, and said: "Okay, give you some time, I hope you will come up with a plan that satisfies my Da Song as soon as possible, and show your sincerity." You know, when a certain time limit is reached, if it is not diverted by my will, I will think that you are delaying and have no sincerity to armistice in the war. When the people have this kind of thinking, I will definitely be able to mobilize an army of four million. ”

Xiao Asu tried to say: "During this period, can the Xuan Privy Counsellor promise that the Song army will not advance and will not take the initiative to start a war against Liao?" ”

"I promised." Wang Yan slapped his palm on the table: "But don't play tricks on me, don't play smart, trust is always only once." After falling into a credit crisis, the Liao State will lose the last opportunity to negotiate, and it will definitely rise to the life and death of the whole family. I didn't say that Da Song would definitely win, but obviously he wouldn't lose anymore, would he? ”

Xiao Asu got up and nodded heavily: "The Privy Secret's Secret is high and bright, and only now has the world really understood you, and your commitment and mind are respected by the whole world. Thank you for your promise, we may be enemies, but we will respect your promise. ”

"Go, I'm waiting for your reply, there must be sincerity." Wang Yan waved his hand......
