The next day, Li Liangzuo received the envoy of the Black Khan in the main hall, and the ceremony of the reception was not very grand, and it was treated according to the etiquette of the country of brothers, but he was very satisfied with the reception of the envoy of the Black Khan, in fact, the reason why Suleiman sent someone to make peace this time.

In fact, because of domestic financial problems, the Black Khan Dynasty was the main transportation route between the East and the West, and no matter how the Silk Road went, it had to pass through its country, so the Silk Road brought a lot of wealth to the Black Khan Dynasty, and also brought a lot of oriental silk and art, but after a war in Xizhou, this result changed; Compared with the Western Xia, the Black Khan Dynasty relied more financially on the Silk Road.

"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuanhei Khan's special envoy Heitson will meet you." Xiao Fuzi shouted loudly.

Hetson is very tall, belongs to the mixed-race race, and has a full face of Hus, although he doesn't look very good-looking, but he still knows etiquette very well, and as soon as he came up, he gave Li Liangzuo the highest etiquette of the Black Khan Dynasty, which was to put his hands on his chest, and then bowed deeply and said: "Hetson greets His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom." ”

"Your Excellency the Special Envoy is excused." Li Liangzuo smiled and raised his hand and said; "I don't know why Your Excellency the Special Envoy came to my Great Xia Kingdom?"

Heteson took out a palatial brocade box and said, "Your Majesty, this is our letter from the Great Khan to you. ”

After Xiaofuzi gave Li Liangzuo the letter of state, Li Liangzuo took a general look at it and said: "The Great Khan of your country is asking for peace!" ”

"No, no, no......" Haitson immediately denied; His Majesty the Emperor is talking about peace, not seeking peace. ”

Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "Good, good, good...... Whether you seek peace or make peace, you will do nothing, and the meaning of your envoy is to hope that the two countries will return to a state of peace, and there is nothing wrong with this! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, our Great Khan really wants to restore normal diplomatic relations between the two countries, which is beneficial to both of us." Hatteson said.

Li Liangzuo nodded and said: "The war was provoked by your Black Khan Dynasty, and now if you want to negotiate peace, you will always have to pay a price, and the specific peace conditions still need to be negotiated with you by the negotiation mission." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and may the friendship between our two countries last forever." Heterson saluted Li Liangzuo again; "Retire below."

After Heteson left, Li Liangzuo looked at the gold-inlaid box and said, "This Suleiman is quite rich, and he actually gave me any gifts for the gold-inlaid box?" ”

"Your Majesty." Wei Ge Ningling stood up and said; "The Black Khan Dynasty paid tribute to five horses, ten gold vases, twenty silver vases, and some precious leather goods."

Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "There are still a lot of things to give!" When they go back, don't let them go empty-handed, give them some silk and satin, but try to be equal to the value of what they sent. ”

"Yes, Weichen takes the order." Wei Ge Ning ordered to take over the military order.

The negotiations with the Black Khans went very fast, and the two sides signed peace terms in just three days, and the reason why the negotiations went so smoothly was because the two countries had common interests, that is, the Silk Road, which could bring great wealth to the two countries if it could restore its former prosperity as soon as possible.

Under the common interests, the two countries can reconcile even if there is great hatred, as the so-called confirms the saying that 'there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests', and the Western Xia Kingdom and the Black Khan Dynasty are the best examples, and the two countries signed the "Silk Road Common Protection Agreement" for common interests.

The agreement stipulates that:

First, the two countries have regained friendship and forged a fraternal alliance.

Second: the border issue was put aside for the time being, but the Black Khan Dynasty had to pay 10,000 gold coins to the Great Xia State every year as military expenses for garrisons in Qiuzi and other places.

Third, the two countries should jointly protect the smooth flow of the Silk Road, and each should take responsibility for the suppression of bandits within its borders.

Fourth: The two countries set up post stations along the Silk Road in their respective fields to provide accommodation for Silk Road merchants.

Fifth: businessmen of the two countries enjoy preferential commercial policies in each other's countries.

Sixth, the agreement shall enter into force on the date of signing.

In the imperial study of the palace, Li Liangzuo smiled and smiled happily after getting this agreement, because this agreement represents real money! As long as the restoration of normal relations between the two countries was announced, and post stations were established along the Silk Road for merchants to live in, and troops were sent to suppress bandits to protect the merchants, such a policy would attract a large number of merchants to return to the Silk Road.

"Spread my will, let the Anxi Protectorate and the Anxi General's Mansion take action immediately, suppress bandits along the trade routes, open up new trade routes, establish post stations along the way, and send troops to protect the caravans." Li Liangzuo immediately gave an order.

"Your Majesty intends to open up a trade route on the route of General Richardhan's raid on Yanqi City?" Nuo Yixiang asked Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo nodded and said, "Yes, in this way, the distance of the Southern Silk Road can be greatly shortened, which is of great benefit to the caravan." ”

Nuo Yisheng first said: "Your Majesty Shengming, but there is also a problem here, once this road is opened up, it is true that the distance will be shortened, but it will also cause the loss of Gaochang merchants, and once this route is exposed, if the Black Khan Dynasty is attacking in a big way, it can bypass Gaochang and other places to attack the Hexi Corridor." ”

Li Liangzuo had to admit that the old general Nuo Yishengdu was not covered, and his strategic vision and sharpness saw the key points at a glance, which is indeed a very serious problem, and there is a hidden line in this era, which is a secret weapon for a country or army!

Li Liangzuo thought for a moment and asked, "What does the old general think about this?" ”

Nuo Yixun suggested to Li Liangzuo: "First of all, this road cannot be made public, and some Chinese merchants can pass through secretly, and secondly, the defense of Yanqi City will be strengthened; When will His Majesty conquer the west and destroy the Black Khan Dynasty, he will open this road. ”

Li Liangzuo weighed the pros and cons and said, "Okay, I agree with the old general's opinion, Xiaofuzi, you revise your will, and tell Li Chahan that he didn't find a big oasis?" Where to build a secret base for me, don't let the outside world know about it and list it as a first-class secret. ”

"Yes, the minion will do it." Xiaofuzi said.

Just when Li Liangzuo opened up a wide financial route for Western Xia, a great change was taking place in the Liao State in the north, and there were already two major factions in the Liao State, and the two major groups led by the emperor Yelu Hongji and the imperial uncle Yelu Chongyuan seized power in the court, which made the entire Liao State fall into turmoil.

Yelu Chongyuan, who had already launched a rebellion in history, became cautious after being hit hard by Li Liangzuo, so he did not launch a coup until now, but this also laid a crisis for Liao, as far as the identities of the two people are concerned, Yalu Hongji is the emperor of Liao, and Yelu Chongyuan is the generalissimo of Liao's imperial uncle, although he was defeated by Li Liangzuo that year, but Yelu Chongyuan still has a slight upper hand in overall strength.
