Where is the territory that was once ruled by the Heavenly Khan? Where are the people? Those Shan Yu and Khan, who once honored the emperor of the Central Plains as the Heavenly Khan. Once the Central Plains is weak. Immediately turn into a tiger wolf. Take a hard bite. This title may be very tempting for another person to hear. But for Duan Mingyu. It's not worth the.

Just think about it. If it really did. Then the future emperors of the Khitan . and its civil and military, and its people. will forever regard the title of "Emperor" as a great shame. One chance. They will start a war again. Every Khitan prince. From the date of his appointment as a prince. The greatest ambition of his life. I'm afraid it's going to defeat the Tang Kingdom. Strip yourself of the title of humiliation.

Heroes. Which is not a person who can bend and stretch. They can endure all the humiliations that ordinary people can't bear. Wait for all the opportunities to make a comeback. Gou Jian even gave his wife to the enemy's ambiguous bed. You can eat the dung of your enemies. What is the end result. Promise this pointless piece. It's just to help the Khitan establish the goal of always fighting the Tang people.

Duan Mingyu saw it very clearly. Agree to this condition. It is tantamount to establishing two countries but surviving for one day. It will be a feud.

The land that the ancestors lost. If you don't have that ability to get it back. Hereafter generations can put aside the discussion. You can pretend to be deaf and dumb. But the title of "child emperor" directly imposed on him. How do you tell him to escape. How to endure it. There is only the best Shi Jingtang in the previous life. will be shameless to this realm.

Negotiations between the two sides are becoming more and more frequent. But Jerod refused to make any more concessions. Duan Mingyu felt the need to beat and beat with force. Let the Khitan, who is still in fantasy, sober up. One day. Duan Mingyu launched an attack on Yelu Deguang's camp. At the same time, it also launched an attack on Youzhou City. Li Cunqiao personally commanded. Knocked out a larger camp in the camp of Jerod Light. Jerod was astonished. Finally began to face up to the conditions of the peace talks that they could not bypass: land cession.

And for the Khitan. The significance of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is not limited to military affairs. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are the main farming areas of the Khitan. For the wells of the Khitan Kingdom. It is roughly the same as the role of Jiangnan for the Tang Kingdom. Meantime. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are areas bordering the Tang Kingdom. This is the Khitan State absorbing the culture of the Central Plains. An important channel for integrating into the economy of the Central Plains. If Yanyun Sixteen States change hands. The Khitan people will return to the nomadic life of living on water and grass. The government of the feudal empire will also be difficult to maintain. It has been a few years since the founding of the country. The Khitan, which had just prospered economically and culturally, would go downhill from then on.

The sixteen states of Yanyun are equivalent to the economic lifeline and political foundation of the Khitan. Now Duan Mingyu took advantage of the fact that the Khitan Emperor had just died. Khitan politics is in dire need of a reshuffle. Military defeat. The second prince, who is the most promising to ascend the throne, is trapped. Forced Yerod to cede the seven states in front of the mountain. How can you not hate in your heart?

Everything is to be decided. Yelu Deguang is going to sign a credential with Duan Mingyu. Tang Zhaozong Li Ye gave Duan Mingyu a lot of power. Naturally eligible to sign the Credentials. And Jeru-Abao is dead. As soon as Yelu Deguang returns to Shangjing, he will definitely be able to overthrow the eldest prince Yelubei and become the new king. Moreover. Now Jerod Light has military power in his hands. Empress Shu Luping, the queen mother of the regime, must have supported him. So this national letter. All are legally effective.

Jerod knew that the land was cut for a long time. The reason why it has been an excuse to procrastinate. It's just to drag it out until the cold of winter. The six states in front of the mountain have already fallen into the hands of the Tang army. This land will not return anyway. And Youzhou, which is located in the center of the seven states in front of the mountain, is still in the hands of the Khitan. This is worth scrutinizing. Jerod sold his heart. A clause was added to the national credentials. The six states in front of the mountain can be ceded to the Tang State. Jerod Light can also withdraw his troops and stop interfering. But Youzhou can't be cheap Duan Mingyu for nothing. If Duan Mingyu lays down Youzhou before the beginning of spring next year. Then Youzhou can be ceded to the Tang State. If you can't beat it before the spring of next year. Hum. Then Tang can only get six states this time. Youzhou can still only be in the hands of the Khitans. Duan Mingyu must also withdraw his troops. Then this time the Northern Expedition will not be considered a success.

Duan Mingyu smiled faintly at Yelu Deguang. He said, "Please take a seat."

Everything has been agreed for a long time. Even the content of the letter of state has been scrutinized word by word by both sides. No need to negotiate. Just take it and sign it on the spot by the temporary supreme representatives of both sides. Use the seal to do it.

Duan Mingyu asked for it. It's the seven states in front of the mountain. Youyun Sixteen States. Seven states in front of the mountain. Yamashago Kyushu. The total land of the sixteen states is about 120,000 square kilometers. The seven states in front of the mountain guard the line of the Great Wall of Yanshan and the northern branch of Taihang Mountain. Chisato Woye. North Limit Mountain. There is a danger in the mountains and mountains. It is a natural barrier separating the Han region of the Central Plains from the nomadic areas of the north. Strategic location is the most important. It is the northern gate of the Central Plains. Commanding the commanders. Ease its dangers. Rong Ma did not dare to herd in the south. If you lose the thistle states. then a land of thousands of miles. All must be met by the enemy. Thousands of miles to the plains. then the Central Plains are often restless. Duan Mingyu believes. His own 400,000 tiger will definitely be able to take Youzhou before the beginning of spring. He let out a long sigh of relief. Now. Finally, the merit is complete.

But Jerod was convinced. Yelufeng will definitely guard Yanjing City until the beginning of spring. Jerodon's power is not below him. He has this faith.

Winter has arrived at this time. There are less than two months to go. The two sides have so finalized it for the time being. The war was led by the Tang State. Therefore, the peace treaty is subject to the Tang dynasty name. Signed by each other. Sealed. The exchange of letters Duan Mingyu and Yelu Deguang each held the peace treaty. Slowly ascend to the earthen platform. The high platform is larger, and the eaves of the Xiongbao Hall are one end higher. Standing on the first step on the left side are the Khitan leather room army guards. And standing on the steps on the left is the guard of the Tang State Shence Army. On the high platform. Laying incense case. Red felt all over the ground. Except for two. Empty and no one else. The ministers of civil and military affairs of both countries are standing in the audience. Only the living quarters of the two countries were lowered to the third order.

Jerod held the peace treaty in his hand. Pale face. Gazing at what is in sight. Soon. Here is going to be the surname Tang. He's going to have to die. Lead his subjects out of here. Maybe...... Never to come back.

Duan Mingyu coughed lightly. said: "Second prince...... Don't you take the oath?"

Yerod sneered. Said: "Duan Mingyu. You have done what you want today. In the future, a certain family will definitely ask you to repay it twice."

The two hold a peace covenant in their hands. Standing in front of the incense case. The look was cold. The eyes do not squint. Look at the eyes of the civil and military forces of the two countries in the audience. It was as if he were solemnly praying to heaven and earth.

Duan Mingyu was silent for a moment. sighed: "If the two countries change places. What will the second prince do?"

Yerod is a masterpiece of a generation. Think about it. The indignation in my heart was greatly lessened. Said: "You are in danger. Force me to cut the ground. The people of the Central Plains should have a good life to beg. My son. It deserves to eat and sleep in the open. Living by water and grass. For generations to come, will the grandchildren be miserable and poor?"

Duan Mingyu looked at the magnificent hall of the Daxiong Treasure Palace. Stunned, he said, "What can I say. Are all beings equal? It is in the eyes of the Buddha who keeps saying that all beings are equal. There are also the three good paths of heaven, man, and asura; Beasts, hungry ghosts, and hells. There are three kinds of good and evil in the way. Besides, you and I are just mortals. Who has great supernatural powers. Take care of everyone. It's my Tang Kingdom. The people of the north and the south, the people of the west and the east, and the people of the city and the mountain village. The same is the people of the Tang Dynasty. How can you live in a splendid place? Enjoy the glorious life."

Duan Mingyu said again: "I won't take Youyan today. In the future, the Khitan will never be satisfied with owning Youyan. If there is no swallow. Tang Guoyi, Ma Pingchuan. There is no risk to be found. Even though the poor are redundant. It takes ten times as much effort. It's not enough to defend itself."

Yerod sneered: "Good reason. You take my food. Serve your mouth. It's rightly justified. Good. I'd like to see. Can you really be in two months. Capture the city of Youzhou."
