After struggling in his heart for a long time, Zhongsun Guge had to lower his posture again, and said with a hint of begging: "Couldn't you make any more concessions to Emperor Song?" ”

There was no anger on his face, only pleading, "Although it is true that the Great Song Dynasty helped me more in the Western Xia in the past, but in the past few years since the emperor ascended the throne, whether the Great Song Dynasty was at war with the Yuan Dynasty, or with Dali and the New Song Dynasty, our dynasty has spared no effort to help the Great Song Dynasty." Could it be that Emperor Song really didn't even care about these feelings in the past? ”

Zhao Dongting was silent, and a look of struggle appeared in his eyes. It looks like a heart of compassion.

This made Dezhongsun Guge slightly happy in his heart, and said again: "I can assure you on behalf of the empress that Western Xia will still spare no effort to stand by the side of the Great Song Dynasty in the future." ”

"Alas......"

Zhao Dongting suddenly sighed softly, "Since we have all said this, I really don't want to be too ruthless." If I am said to make a slight concession, then I will see that I will make some regressions in the past relationship between the two countries. In order to let the Great Song Dynasty no longer have any worries, it is still inevitable that the Western Xia will bow down to my Great Song Dynasty and be a vassal, but after becoming a minister, I can prevent the Western Xia from paying tribute to my Great Song Dynasty, and in addition, the Western Xia is still ruled by the empress. I do not interfere in any internal affairs of Western Xia. ”

Zhongsun Guge was moved, "You don't even ask about things in the army?" ”

Zhao Dongting said: "As long as you don't disagree, I will let you still maintain autonomy in Western Xia." This is already my biggest regression. ”

When Zhongsun Guge heard this, he didn't dare to do any more.

He also knew in his heart that Emperor Song could still give Xixia such favorable conditions in such a situation, and it could indeed be said that he was benevolent and righteous.

After all, although he has some relationship with the empress, he is the monarch of the Great Song Dynasty. Everything has to be considered for the entire Great Song Dynasty.

At this moment, Zhongsun Guge bowed deeply to Zhao Dongting, "Then Zhongsun Guge thanked Emperor Song first." ”

Then he took his leave, and left the study in a hurry.

Zhao Dongting smiled in the imperial study.

From Zhongsun Guge's words and deeds, he could completely see that Zhongsun Guge was quite satisfied with this condition, and there was no longer any resistance.

And even he thinks like this, and many of the ministers who want to come to Western Xia will think like this.

As long as the Western Xia remained autonomous, then subservience was a mere formality. In fact, it did not have much impact on Western Xia.

Perhaps, the overall situation laid out by him and Lee so-sook can end early.

This process, of course, was much easier than Zhao Dongting had expected. It's a good thing that the two countries don't have to go to war.

It's just that if the empress group chooses to bow down to the vassals, how to face the four major military divisions is another problem.

Dozens of seconds later, Zhao Dongting sat back on the bed and groaned again.

He was hesitating.

In his opinion, it is certainly a good thing to let the four major military divisions continue to confront the empress in Western Xia. The ministers in Western Xia were anxious just to deal with them.

It's just that this is destined to arouse Li Xiushu's dissatisfaction, causing a gap between the two.

"It's ...... anyway"

After a long time, Zhao Dongting sighed suddenly. It was as if I had made up my mind.

Just now, his mind was flooded with Li Xiangxiao's appearance.

Think of it as a father to pave the way for your children in the future......

In the territory of West Xiali West Road.

Longzhou City.

She Tuoba, Tuoba Wu, Wu Ge and others are still stationed here.

Only after these days have passed, and their hearts are also a little uneasy.

The Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army never left Chengdu Mansion, which faintly made them smell some ominous smell.

She Tuoba and others successively sent messengers to Chengdu Prefecture, begging Zhang Guangbao to let them lead the army to destroy the Western Xia Forbidden Army, but Zhang Guangbao always kept them still.

This is certainly not normal.

Now it can be said that everything is ready, as long as the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army in Chengdu Mansion goes out, it can quickly destroy the empress group and incorporate Western Xia into the country.

But Zhang Guangbao just didn't move, and let them not move.

She Tuoba and the others are all shrewd people, of course, they will wonder if Da Song is also taking this opportunity to put pressure on the Empress Group.

Even, they had actually guessed Zhao Dongting's intentions.

Although the Great Song Dynasty has accepted their surrender, it does not mean that the Great Song Dynasty cannot continue to fight with the Empress Group.

If this is the case, the situation in Western Xia will be unpredictable in the future.

In the past two days since Zhongsun Guge met Zhao Dongting, She Tuoba, Wu Ge, Sikong She, Tuoba Wu and other people met in the city's mansion.

At this time, the governor of Longzhou City had been placed under house arrest and controlled by them.

When they met, these generals all looked solemn.

As soon as he sat down, She Tuoba said: "Zhang Guangbao still asked us to stand still and not start a war with the empress's forbidden army." What do you think Song Guo will mean by this? ”

Tuoba Wu's face was heavy and said: "After we surrender, the Song State has the advantage, and it can completely destroy the forbidden army without sending troops, but I am afraid that it is also a little difficult with the empress group." I'm only worried that they're negotiating with the Empress Group right now, and if the Empress Clique is willing to pay some price, maybe ...... The Song Kingdom and the empress will turn hostility into jade silk. You all know that Emperor Song used to have a very good relationship with the empress, and if they reconciled, Emperor Song was afraid that it would ...... If he goes back on his word and stands on the side of the empress, then our situation will be difficult to estimate. ”

Wu Ge and Sikong She also nodded slightly.

Only no one scolded Zhao Dongting like a child.

Sometimes, things between countries don't have much credibility to speak of. At the end of the day, it's the interests that are more important.

She Tuoba pinched his fingers and said, "I think so too." Now that we have torn our faces with the empress, we must be separated. The Song Kingdom sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and the benefits had to be determined. I only hope that they can still stand idly by, and we soldiers may not be able to destroy Helian City and those military horses under Qu Rujian. What I'm worried about is that the Song Congress will help the empress in disregard of the agreement with us, and then we will be in a situation where we will be attacked from the back. Don't say that if you bring down the empress again, even if you want to get out, it's also difficult......"

"Then let's ......"

Tuoba Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, "You can't sit still like this, can you?" ”

She Tuoba looked at him, "What do you think of that?" ”

Tuoba Wu said: "While the Song army is still wavering, it is better for us to attack Helian City and Qu Rujian's army first." After all, now that we surrender to the Song Dynasty, the world knows that we are only waiting for the war, and everyone will think that we are fighting for the Song State, and when the time comes, even if the Song State blames us, it is impossible to make friends with the empress again. They will no longer be able to vacillate between us and the Empress, and will only help us destroy the Empress. ”

The rest of the people groaned when they heard this.

Only She Tuoba said: "But who dares to be sure, then Emperor Song will care about the opinions of the people in the world?" What do you care about? ”

"This ......"

Tuoba Wu was slightly stunned.

Wu Ge looked at She Tuoba and said, "Brother She Tuoba, but he already has a good plan?" ”

He knew that although She Tuoba had the habits of Jianghu people, his city was extremely deep. I'm afraid these words just now are just a prelude.

When She Tuoba heard him ask, he really nodded lightly and said, "I do have a different opinion from Brother Tuoba Xian. ”

He looked around at everyone, "As Brother Tuoba said, if we send troops to attack Helian City and Qu Rujian, it is indeed possible that the Song State will not be able to sway from side to side, but this may also make the Song State completely stand on the side of the empress, if so, we will be defeated." Our major military divisions will certainly not be able to afford the consequences. In my opinion, it is better to retreat and seek stability than to be in danger now. It is already a fact that we surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and since the Song State has not started the war for a long time, we can lead the army back to the major military divisions on the grounds of lack of food and grass. When the time comes, no matter whether the Song Kingdom and the empress are fighting or making peace, we can wait for the opportunity to regroup. Enter, you can help the Song State destroy the empress, retreat, you can stick to their respective territories, help each other, and not be eaten by the empress. ”

He said quietly: "Then even if the Song Emperor and the Empress turn the war into a jade silk, he will never let the military horses of the Song State go to the territory of Western Xia to help the Empress Forbidden Army, right?" ”

Everyone in the hall was moved when they heard this, and some people's eyes shone brightly.

Although the Song State is strong, there are still Yuan Dynasty, Yue Li Dynasty and other countries around, and they have been fighting for many years, and it is indeed unlikely that they will send troops into Xia to help the empress.
