In the evening, at the guest house, Xiaofuzi personally sent the princess of Northern Liao Yelu Tri back, at this time Yelu Yixin had already come back from the negotiations, and today's negotiations can be said to have made progress, but the gap between the two sides is still very large, if it is according to the bottom given by Li Liangzuo, the two sides may have already negotiated, but the bottom line of Wei Ge Ningling is much higher than that given by Li Liangzuo.

After Yeluteri returned, Yelu Yixin approached Yeluteri and asked, "Your Royal Highness, I heard that you have gone to the Xixia Palace today. ”

Yelutri immediately said: "It was the queen who didn't hide Feixue and sent someone to take me into the palace. ”

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't! Why would they summon you to the palace at this time! Yelu Yixin said puzzled.

Yelutri smiled: "According to Princess Ben's conjecture, it seems that it is not that the Empress Wuzang wants to see me, but that the Emperor of Western Xia wants to see me." ”

When Yelu Yixin heard this, he immediately came to his spirit and asked Yelutri, "Why did Your Highness the princess say this?" ”

Yelu Tri told Yelu Yixin what happened in Anshou Palace today, and after hearing this, Yelu Yixin said to Yelu Tri: "What the princess means is that the guard is very likely to be the Western Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo. ”

"Exactly, he looks pretty good, but the way he looks at Princess Ben is too much." Jerutrius said with some dissatisfaction.

Yelu Yixin said happily: "Since Li Liangzuo likes you, then the matter of forming an alliance with Western Xia will not be far away, and it seems that there should be a result in the next few days." ”

When Yelutri heard Yelu Yixin's words, he scolded in his heart: "Old horseman, since you don't take this princess to heart so much. ”

The next day, in the conference room of the Executive Yuan, a new round of negotiations began, the two sides fought a war of words back and forth for nearly an hour, and finally negotiated the cooperation, in fact, the rest of the negotiation process is easy to say, that is, there are two things that are not very easy to do, the first is that all the property and population of the city captured by the Xia army belong to the Western Xia, and the other is that Wei Ge Ning ordered to cede the territory of a thousand miles north of Yinshan to the Western Xia.

These two are the most difficult to do, and in the end, the two sides each took a step back and reached a covenant, which is also known as the "Xia Liao Yin Mountain Covenant" in history.

The terms of the covenant read as follows:

First: Xia Liao is a country of brothers, and the Western Xia has the obligation to help it judge in order to consolidate the alliance between the two countries, and the Liao State will marry the princess of Yue to the Western Xia Emperor to show the firmness of the two allies.

Second: Xia recognized Northern Liao as the sole legitimate government of Liao, and Northern Liao would inherit all the contents of the "Fengyi Peace Treaty" signed by Xia and Liao.

Third: All kinds of materials needed by Northern Liao were purchased from Xia, and Xia had the obligation to give the best price.

Fourth: Northern Liao should resolve the domestic rebellion within five years, and after five years, if the Liao army cannot solve the domestic rebellion, the Xia army will intervene strongly.

Fifth: All the property and population of the cities occupied by the Xia army's intervention in the war were owned by the Western Xia, and the land and cities were returned to the Western Xia.

Sixth: Northern Liao allowed the nomadic tribes of the Xia State to nomadize north of Yinshan, and at the same time assigned the land of 500 li north of the middle of Yinshan Mountain (and the Hetao Plain) to the Xia State, and all the grassland tribes who were willing to take refuge in the Xia State were not allowed to be stopped by the Northern Liao.

Seventh: The Covenant shall enter into force on the date of its signing.

After seeing Yelu Yixin sign the name on the covenant, a big stone in the heart of Wei Ge Ning Ling finally fell, this time Wei Ge Ning Ling not only completed the task handed over by Li Liangzuo, but also won a radius of five hundred miles of land for Western Xia north of Yin Mountain, although these lands are not fertile soil, but it is a fertile grassland, and this will also be the bridgehead for Western Xia to enter the Mobei region.

In history, the northernmost part of the territory of Western Xia is to reach the southern foot of Yinshan in the north of the Hetao Plain, the southern foot of Yinshan is not suitable for human habitation at all due to the large mountain drop, so there is no one at all except for a small number of garrisons, and the north of Yinshan is very different, the mountains in the northern part of Yinshan are gentle, and basically they are mountain grasslands, which is an excellent area for nomadism.

This time Li Liangzuo can be said to have taken advantage of the civil war in Liao, when Wei Ge Ning Ling put this alliance in front of Li Liangzuo, Li Liangzuo was stupid, this is simply a big pie falling from the sky! The Western Xia obtained such a large piece of territory without a single soldier, and more importantly, this territory could become a bridgehead for the Western Xia forces to penetrate into the Monan region.

To be honest, Yelu Yixin didn't want to sign this covenant, such conditions were very harsh for Northern Liao, but now the situation in Northern Liao can only use this method to tie Western Xia to his chariot, in Yelu Yixin's opinion, this is just an expedient measure, these five hundred miles of land are only temporarily placed in the hands of Western Xia, and after the civil strife in Liao is calmed down, the Liao army can immediately recover these areas.

In Yelu Yixin's view, after gaining the support of Western Xia, the civil strife in Liao can be pacified in two or three years at most, and then the contradictions between Liaoxia and Xia will break out, and all the benefits that Western Xia has obtained from Liao will be spit out, and Yelu Yixin also thinks that he can cut off a piece of meat from Western Xia.

Of course, these are all later words, Li Liangzuo laughed and said after receiving the alliance signed by Xia and Liao: "Uncle Huang, you have made a great contribution this time, so that my Great Xia Kingdom can get five hundred miles of land without a single soldier, and more importantly, it has opened the road to Mobei for my Great Xia Kingdom, this merit is incomparable, Uncle Huang, please forgive Zuo." While saying that, Li Liangzuo gave Wei Ge Ning an order.

Wei Ge Ning Ling hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Your Majesty is serious, Weichen does not dare to bear such a great gift from Your Majesty, and it is a great honor for Weichen to be so appreciated by Your Majesty; The old minister also wants to congratulate Your Majesty and the beauty of the land! ”

Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, please take a seat, what reward does Uncle Huang want for such a great achievement!" ”

"It is the duty of the old minister to serve His Majesty, and the old minister does not dare to ask for any reward." Wei Ge Ning Ling said to Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo thought for a moment and said, "That's it! Since Uncle Huang doesn't want this offer, then I will reward this credit to my cousin Li Xiaoren! I heard that my cousin is now serving as a subordinate in the Executive Yuan (the fourth rank is on the upper rank), and he has been fulfilling his duties all the time, and it is time to be promoted;

The five hundred miles of land that were seized from the Liao State cannot be idle, and I am ready to move 30,000 herdsmen to the north of Yinshan, and set up the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate north of Yinshan to manage the land north of Yinshan. In addition, Hua Ma and Mu Zheng have been idle here for too long, and I originally promised to let him return to Hehuang! Now that Hehuang can't go back, let him also say Mo Nan! Served as General of Anbei. ”

Wei Ge Ningling didn't expect that since Li Liangzuo gave Li Xiaoren such an important position, the Anbei Metropolitan Protector was an official position of the third rank in terms of grade, and it was also a feudal official, although the jurisdiction of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate was only 500 miles north of Yinshan.

But it will be difficult to say in the future, according to Li Liangzuo's character, since he has obtained these five hundred miles, he is not afraid of another 1,500 miles, and when the whole of Monan is the land of Western Xia, the importance of this Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate will be highlighted, and Li Xiaoren served as the first Anbei Metropolitan Protector, then the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate will inevitably be labeled as Li Xiaoren, which will be of great help to Li Xiaoren's political career.

When Wei Ge Ning Ling heard Li Liangzuo's appointment, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The old minister thanked Your Majesty on behalf of the dog, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
