Liu Neng's statement seems to be very sincere, that is, the Western Xia Kingdom will recognize Mongolia as its eldest brother in the future, and he will be the younger brother of Mongolia in the future, as if he has suffered a lot of grievances.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this is not the case, in the final analysis, it is still some clichés, just like a person saying that I will recognize you as my eldest brother in the future, and I don't have to pay back the 20,000 taels of silver I owe you, which is what it means.

Sure enough, hearing what Liu Neng said, Zamuhe laughed, he laughed and laughed for a while, which can be regarded as calming his emotions and saying: "Hahaha, this is really the funniest joke I have ever heard." ”

Liu Neng was a little embarrassed, as a civil official, to be honest, he was still a little uncomfortable with the way of communication with these generals, they were all straightforward.

Zamuhe slapped the table vigorously and said, "Liu Neng, you won't treat us people as fools." ”

Liu Neng was startled, almost knelt down, and hurriedly said at this time: "How is it possible, so-and-so...... I don't mean that! ”

"Since you came in, you've been talking some nonsense, I don't think you have any idea of wanting to negotiate at all, I think you better hurry up and go back, let's see you in Xingqing Mansion tomorrow!" Zamuhe said coldly.

Zamu Yiyi began to speak relatively gently, but at this time, he suddenly became furious, which directly disrupted Liu Neng's formation, and he stammered a little and said, "My lord...... The adults atone for their sins, the lower officials, the lower officials have no such intentions. ”

"Hmph, if you want to negotiate peace, then show enough sincerity, otherwise don't waste each other's time." Zamuhe said coldly.

Liu Neng hurriedly said at this time: "As long as Mongolia can withdraw its troops, we are willing to pay a tribute of 200,000 taels of silver and 10,000 cattle and sheep to your country." ”

200,000 taels of silver, 10,000 cattle and sheep, it stands to reason that the price given by the Xixia Kingdom is not low, after all, the Xixia Kingdom is not as rich as the Song Dynasty, and now it has to give the Song Dynasty annual coins every year, so this is already a very high price given by the Xixia Kingdom.

"It's only 200,000 taels, hehe, Lord Liu, are you asking for food?" Zamuhe said softly.

Liu Neng scolded his mother in his heart, it was obvious that you invaded our country, but now it seems that we have made a mistake, and there is really nowhere to make sense.

"Lord Khan, Lord General, we are really not rich!" Liu Neng said with a wry smile.

"Negotiating, you have to show a little sincerity, we have worked so hard to bring so many people, you just give us such a little money as if you sent us? How much is that? Zamuhe shook his head, obviously not very satisfied with Liu Neng's statement.

Liu Neng smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "General, we are really very embarrassed now, there is still a locust plague in the country recently, and there is a serious deficit in the treasury......

"How much money do you have in your treasury now?" At this moment, Temujin suddenly interjected.

"Lord Khan, to be honest, the annual tax of our Western Xia Kingdom is only 400,000 taels, which is equivalent to ...... the treasury," Liu Neng said stupidly.

Before he could finish speaking, Temujin continued: "400,000 taels, I want it!" ”

Liu Neng was choked and stammered: "Khan, this ...... This is something that some strong people can do. ”

Temujin shook his head and continued: "And it is to give us 400,000 taels every year!" ”

Liu Neng had an urge to scold his mother at that time, 400,000 taels a year, why don't you rob it, but at this time, he has no trouble resisting, he can only negotiate, a weak country has no diplomacy, at this time, the result of resistance can only be the destruction of the country.

"This ...... This is too much, the imperial court, the imperial court can't take it out at all! Liu Neng stammered.

"In addition to these, the places north of Dingzhou City that we have occupied are all our Mongolian territory!" Temujin continued.

"What? This...... This is absolutely not a no-go! Liu Neng didn't expect the conditions of the negotiation to be so harsh, Temujin didn't listen to what he was saying at all, and set the conditions for the negotiation very strongly.

"If it doesn't work, we'll see you on the battlefield tomorrow!" Temujin said lightly: "As for the silver you want to pay tribute, when the gate of Xingqing Mansion is opened, I will naturally go and take it in person." ”

"This ......" Liu Neng was speechless, a weak country has no diplomacy, at this time, he has no room for bargaining at all, he has to accept it, and he has to accept it if he doesn't accept it.

"The conditions that the Khan said, the lower officials really have no right to make decisions, so when the lower officials go back, tell our Majesty the conditions of the Khan, and ask our Majesty to take it." Liu Neng said with a wry smile.

"Since you can't make a decision, let the person you can make a decision negotiate next time, since you want to negotiate, then you must show sincerity, otherwise don't waste time, we don't have time to waste with you." Zamuhe said softly at this time.

Liu Neng found that after he came today, he could only smile bitterly, but fortunately, the Mongols did not embarrass him, but let him go.

"If you really want to negotiate, let Li Qianshun come over to talk to this king in person in the future, otherwise don't come!" Temujin said to Liu Neng.

Liu Neng didn't dare to refute, if Li Qianshun came, would he still be able to go back?

After returning to Xingqing Mansion, Liu Neng conveyed the terms of Temujin's negotiations to Li Qianshun.

Li Qianshun once dropped a cup.

"Deceiving people too much, simply deceiving people too much!" Li Qian gritted his teeth and said smoothly.

The privy envoy of the Privy Council said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, this time, Mongolia is planning to destroy our Western Xia Kingdom!" ”

"Hmph, if you want to destroy our Xixia Kingdom, it depends on whether he has the ability, my Xixia has been founded for a hundred years, a small Mongolian country, just after the unification, dare to come to us to spread wild, give me an order, all the soldiers are ready, tomorrow, let the Mongols pay the price!" Li Qianshun gritted his teeth and said.

But although he said that, to be honest, this is all angry talk, Li Qianshun understands the weakness of his side, they are all Taiping soldiers, and there is still a big gap compared with the tiger and wolf division of the Mongolian army.

"Your Majesty, now there are less than 60,000 defenders in Xingqing Mansion, but the Mongolian army is full of 200,000 people, the minister suggests that 100,000 troops be transferred from the eastern front to the capital, and order the soldiers of various states to come to King Qin, when the time comes, we and the reinforcements will come to a combination of inside and outside, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Mongolian army." Liu Yuan proposed at this time.
