Baichi City, on the way from Tiemen Pass to Xingqing Mansion, this city is now a small stronghold at the forefront of the party.

Nowadays, Western Xia is not an area in the east, but an area along the north and south of the Yellow River, and Baichi City is the southernmost point of this area.

To the north of Baichi City, forty or fifty miles away, the honor guard of Emperor Dangxiang had been waiting for a long time.

Jin Jia Ganqi, but there is no guard of honor, except for the handsome flag, the car does not sit, the horse comes, 20,000 mighty cavalry behind, scout rangers are innumerable, galloping everywhere to reconnoitre.

Ganch was slow because he had to wait for the rangers to return step by step before moving forward. He didn't want to kill the emperor of the party directly here, but he had to guard against whether the party was leading the king into the urn, and he was cautious.

Obviously, the rangers of the party are also galloping everywhere, but fortunately, even if the rangers on both sides meet, they don't do anything, and they are doing their own things.

In the midst of this caution, the two sides finally met.

In a huge camp tent, the soldiers on both sides were not tense, but they were also looking at each other, the party members sat in the west, and Gan Qi sat in the east.

Of course, Gan Qi came in later, because this camp tent was prepared by the party members, and the camp tent was between the two armies, and after entering, Gan Qi looked up and down at the party members who got up.

Liang Yi buried, Gan Qi knew. A seven or eight-year-old child, with innocent eyes looking left and right, obviously doesn't quite understand what is going on today, this child is wearing a dragon robe, needless to say, Li Bingchang, the emperor of Western Xia, is him.

There was a woman standing next to the child, not very old, but extremely beautiful, there was still a bit of tenacity and heroism between her eyebrows, a phoenix robe on her body, dignified manners, and a sense of grace.

Gan Qi immediately had a conjecture in his heart, the Empress Dowager of Xixia Liang was naturally her, at the age of twenty-four, she became the queen mother. She was originally the cousin-in-law of the previous emperor Li Liangzuo, that is, the daughter-in-law of Li Liangzuo's uncle.

Of course, it is also Li Liangzuo and the Empress Dowager Liang who have looked at each other, to put it bluntly, that is, the Empress Dowager Liang has already cheated, and after becoming a wife, she also cheated on her sister and brother.

It can be seen that this Empress Dowager Liang is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

These things are not ancient stories, they are about ten years ago, and now Li Liangzuo died at the age of twenty-one, leaving behind this orphan and widow, which is also a little sad to say.

But Gan Qi knew that this Empress Dowager Liang was not worthy of sympathy, because this Empress Dowager Liang was a war madman in history, and the most she did after taking power was to gather all the party's soldiers and horses to attack the Song Dynasty, and the 400,000 troops went south at every turn, and fought with the Song Dynasty in the dark.

Empress Dowager Liang took the initiative to give Gan Qifu a gift: "I have seen the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, this palace is the empress dowager of Western Xia, and the prime minister has come from afar, and he has worked hard." ”

Empress Dowager Liang's Mandarin is exactly as good as that of the Han people, because the Liang family is originally Han.

Gan Qi looked at everyone, but he didn't pay much attention to the Empress Dowager Liang's overtures, and didn't return the gift, so he walked to the seat and sat down first.

After he finished sitting down, Gan Qi also tidied up his armor before he spoke: "Let's all sit down and talk......

Gan Qi's behavior is really a bit rude, but it is also majestic, Gan Qi doesn't care how many grievances and resentments there are in the hearts of those people opposite, there is no door for peace talks.

Empress Dowager Liang's eyebrows frowned slightly, but she also sat down after hearing the words, and Liang Yi on the side buried her head to the side, obviously looking ugly, and she was angry, but she also knew that she couldn't send it out.

Gan Qi spoke again: "The party is a royal family, whether it is surnamed Li, or the surname Wei, or the surname Tuoba, the world has changed, and now it is self-reliant." Dang Xiang and Song have been at war for decades, and between you and me, there are winners and losers. The deep hatred and hatred have long been innumerable, when your party was victorious, there were more days to show off your might, and now I have the advantage of Song Song, since the deep hatred and hatred have long existed, then I will not talk about anything else, and if you have fought again, it can be regarded as worthy of countless dead martyrs. ”

Gan Qi's words are heartfelt, he thinks so in his heart, and now, there is no talk of harmony and wealth. As for these surnames of the party members, it is also simple to say, they should have been surnamed Tuoba at first, and then they were given the surname Li by the Tang Dynasty, and later given the surname Zhao by the Song Dynasty.

When Empress Dowager Liang heard this, she first showed a sweet smile on her face, which surprised Gan Qi, this woman is really not the same way as a man.

Then I heard the Empress Dowager Liang say: "The little girl heard that Gan Xianggong has nine in twenty this year, and the little woman has four in twenty this year, speaking of which Gan Xianggong is the elder brother, the little woman is now her husband died early, orphans and widows are struggling to live, and the Great Song Dynasty has always ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness......"

Gan Qi directly raised his hand to interrupt: "Don't, don't come to this set, get down to business." ”

According to the fucking woman, Ganchi became a scoundrel who kicked the widow's door at night.

Mrs. Liang's face became sad, and after a pause, she said slowly: "Gan Xianggong, the little woman invited Gan Xianggong to come today, because she wanted to tell Gan Xianggong one thing, the party royal family has always been surnamed Zhao, which is the surname given by the official family of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

This is a bit level, and the meaning is simple, that is, the party members are willing to be surnamed Zhao again, and they are willing to accept the nominal jurisdiction of the Great Song Dynasty.

This widow can really endure humiliation and burden in order to live. Bow down when you come up? Gan Qi was surprised, bowing his head and being a vassal meant that the party members would no longer be called the Emperor of the Son of Heaven, and they would have to accept the title of the Great Song Dynasty, and there would be no country of Western Xia. How could this not surprise Ganch?

How could this widow serve the people within the party? Aren't you afraid of internal groups rebelling?

Or is it that the party members have now realized that Gan Qi is invincible? Realizing that the situation has reached an existential stake?

This is something Gan Qi did not expect before, he has always regarded the party members as a great enemy, even when there is no war, he has also let the stunned and many western armies continue to plunder the party tribes, encroach on the party territory, and squeeze the party living space. Could it be that this kind of pressure makes the party members feel suffocated and recognize the reality?

Gan Qi raised his eyes and looked at the Empress Dowager Liang again, this question is very troublesome, the situation in front of him is that people are willing to bow down to him, and you have to beat him to death. This matter was inconsistent with the values within the Great Song Dynasty and conflicted with Ganqi's external expansion strategy.

In Gan Qi's heart, this peace talks are absolutely impossible, and they are impossible in any case, because his strategy is not a party item, but also the vast Western Regions.

So Gan Qi spoke: "The party has already abandoned the Zhao family to establish the country, and now it wants to go back, it is impossible." I am in the north and south of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are countless tribes and aliens attached to it, if this precedent is created, everyone will follow suit, and there will be endless troubles. ”

Gan Qi's meaning is also simple, since you have rebelled against the founding of the country, you have beaten Da Song all over the ground several times. Now that I know that it is powerful, and I bow my head to the subordinate, if this is enough, then what if everyone will follow suit in the future?

Empress Dowager Liang seemed to expect Gan Qi to say this, and immediately replied: "Today, the Son of Heaven of the Party is here, and he can make an oath to announce to the world, and the Party will be surnamed Zhao from generation to generation, and it will never change." ”

Gan Qi smiled, looked at the tea on the table in front of him to eat, but he didn't eat or drink, he was cautious when he thought about it, and said in his mouth: "Oaths and covenants are just used to break them, where are there generations of oaths in this world?" ”

Empress Dowager Liang said again: "Gan Xianggong, the little girl came today, with the greatest sincerity of the party, and she is only willing to marry the Great Song Dynasty for eternity." Could it be that Gan Xianggong really wants to raise troops to attack? ”

This seems to be a plea, but in fact, it also gets to the point, the orphans and widows have come to surrender together, and they don't even want the country name, Gan Qi really wants to fight?

If you don't want to go too far, Gan Qi turns around and leaves, saying that he will fight anything.

But Gan Qi still thought a little farther, and surrendered without giving people a vote? This is also not a good precedent.

Gan Qi spoke: "Three things, agreed, and the prime minister immediately retreated." ”

"Please speak." Empress Dowager Liang was a little excited.

"First, the party item is attached, farming is a business, and I live together with my Song people in Hetao. Second, this child named Bingchang had to go to live in Bianliang. Third, the soldiers of the party were all discharged and returned to the fields and reclaimed in the Hetao. ”

Gan Qi is also straightforward, only in this way can we solve the troubles, and can also bring some benefits to Gan Qi, two million party members have farmed for Gan Qi, then this river loop is really plugged into the south of the Yangtze River, whether the army goes west or north in the future, logistics and supplies do not care at all.

If the party members can agree to these points, then Gan Qi is really willing to accept the request for peace.

Looking at the party members on the other side, their faces have already changed drastically.

Because this is a condition that the party members cannot accept in any case, they are here to compete for a living space, and when they are weak, they bow down and make every effort to make the country stronger. Just like in history, you can be an eagle dog for the Tang Dynasty, or you can become a country of your own in the Great Song Dynasty.

At this time, Empress Dowager Liang finally stopped being so calm in her reaction, and her eyes were always focused on Gan Qi.

"Gan Xianggong, it is okay to destroy the country, but it is not possible to exterminate the species." Empress Dowager Liang said these words.

Gan Qi laughed: "What is the Empress Dowager Liang talking about, why did the prime minister say that he wanted to destroy the seeds of the party?" Aren't the 12 million party members alive and well? What is wrong with farming? Nowadays, there are already many party members who have farmed for a living. Since it is returned to the Song Dynasty, then it is natural to listen to the arrangement of my Great Song Dynasty, if it is not acceptable, that's it, let's see you on the battlefield. ”

Empress Dowager Liang's face at this time suddenly brought some resentment, and even her tone showed a bit of resentment: "Is Gan Xianggong really so ruthless?" ”

Where is this? This is not a divorce or something about falling in love, Gan Qi stood up directly and said: "Let's talk about it here, we will camp tonight, and we will see you on the battlefield tomorrow." ”

Gan Qi has a black belly, how can he tolerate a little worry? Tonight's respective camping is to give the party members time to run quickly overnight, so as not to fall into the rumor of a booby-trap emperor in the name of peace talks.

Sometimes this kind of morality can be useful, even for the cruel and murderous Mongols. Directly Kaesong surrendered, it's fine. If the city is not opened, it will be killed on the day the city is broken. That's one of the keys to playing all the way to Europe.

Gan Qi will also use this point, and he will go west in the future, but anyone who is willing to belong can rest assured, as long as he listens to the arrangement, he will have a good life.

This is also helpless, because the Western Regions are too far away, in this era without transportation and communication, the cost of conquest and governance is too high, even if it is a simple trip, it is a year and a half, only this set is the most effective way.

Gan Qizhen just got out of the tent of this meeting, and turned east with a group of iron armor, and the army began to camp and prepare for the night.

From a distance, the camp of the party members was six or seven miles away, and between the two armies was the camp where they had just met.

Gan Qi looked at which camp tent, waited for a long time, and didn't see which camp tent in the middle was demolished by the party members, so he knew something in his heart, and said to Wang Shao, who joined the army: "It seems that the party members still want to talk about it." ”

Wang Shao nodded: "If the camp tent is not opened, it has this intention, and the fairness is clever." However, it was impossible for the party members to accept the conditions put forward by the prime minister, and it was just a bargain. ”

"Say, do I still talk to them?" Gan Qi asked Wang Shao, who was now the first person around Gan Qi who could really be called a strategist.

Wang Shao thought for a while and replied: "Xianggong, you can also talk about it, as long as the party members can accept the article attached to farming, this matter can be done." As long as the party members lose their mouths, those nobles and royal families can also be handled at will, and it is not impossible to raise them in Guazhou, and when the time comes, we will station the army at the Guyumen Pass, and those people will not be able to make waves again. In this way, it also saves the casualties of a major battle. ”

Gan Qi looked at Wang Shao, with relief on his face, as if he was becoming more and more satisfied with Wang Shao, and said, "After this battle, how about you go back to Tokyo with me?" ”

Gan Qi asked suddenly, Wang Shao immediately began to think deeply, and after a while, Wang Shao said the truth: "Xianggong, the lower officials prefer to lead the troops in the northwest." ”

Not to mention, in the northwest, there will be a grand strategy in the future, and there is really a need for a strategist here, especially a strategist who knows a lot about this place. Gan Qi thought that there should be a smart person like Wang Shao by his side to help him plan many things, so he thought about taking Wang Shao back to Tokyo.

Gan Qi smiled: "You are straightforward, it's okay, since you said so, then I naturally want to allow you." There are still many major events in the northwest, the west out of the Western Regions, and the north out of the grassland. You're here, and there's a lot going on. ”

Wang Shao has already bowed: "I am willing to do my best for my family and country." Grace treats Shao like this, Shao Ming feels five inside, and he will be repaid by the countryman! ”

Wang Shao was obviously moved in his heart, there is such a boss, who not only values himself, but also respects himself, this kind of touching seems to have received great recognition and kindness for people like Wang Shao.

That's how the word grace came about.

Gan Qi didn't say much, the way of employing people, slowly became familiar, he just beat his horse and turned his head, went back to the big tent of the Chinese army, and began to arrange tonight's war preparations, Gan Qi didn't want to take advantage of the night to sneak attack, but he also had to guard against the party people and dogs jumping off the wall in a hurry and attacking at night. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a few sets of plans and prepare more counterattacks.

There was no word all night, and the party members did not retreat, so Liang Yibu came again in person and asked the camp between the two armies of Ganqi to discuss again.

Gan Qi pretended to shirk a few times, reluctant to go again. The drums in the army were loud, and there were no changes, and many cavalry stood in formation to guard against any undesirable actions of the party members.

Gan Qi beat his horse and then went to the camp tent between the two armies, but saw that Liang Yi, who brought him, did not go in, but beat his horse back, and there were no party guards on the left and right of the military tent, which was completely different from the scene of the guards on both sides glaring angrily yesterday.

Gan Qi was stunned, looked at the camp tent in front of him, turned his head and asked Wang Shao: "Why are all the party members gone?" Aren't you afraid that we will riot and take the people in the tent? Is this a fraud? ”

Wang Shao was also puzzled, and looked left and right, not knowing why.

But I saw a woman walking out of the tent and walked to Gan Qima's blessing: "Gan Xianggong, there is only one queen mother in the camp. ”

Wang Shao immediately spoke: "Enxiang, there is fraud and fraud, you must not enter alone, come ...... person."
