Chapter 562: Terms of Negotiation
In the evening, in the flower hall of the back hall of the Assassin's Mansion, Wang Yinzhi, who was in charge of negotiating with the Mongolian envoy, reported to Li Chengji about the negotiations. Basically, there were two conditions for Mongolia, one was to immediately withdraw from the Huihe, and the second was to restore the state of the Eastern Qarakhanid. As for Alimari, it can be admitted that it belongs to Khorasan. But to be supplemented with 100,000 dinars, it can be replenished with Khorasan goods.
This is obviously the lion's mouth! Both the Eastern Qarakhanid and the Uighurs were already owned by Khorasan and did not need to be recognized by Mongolia at all. Even if the Mongols stationed heavy troops north of the Altan Mountains, they could not frighten Khorasan.
Therefore, Wang Yinzhi also took care of himself and put forward Khorasan's conditions.
First, the two sides recognize the existing borders as standard; Second, Mongolia gave up its supremacy over Xia and recognized Xia as Khorasan. As a result, the southwestern part of Mongolia was surrounded by Khorasan.
Therefore, neither of these two conditions, Jereahai can agree. And even if he agreed, he couldn't call the shots. Therefore, the initial negotiations were rightly dissolved.
"The three kingdoms of Huihe, Eastern Qarakhanid, and Alimari must not be let out! Everything else is negotiable! After listening to this, Li Chengji said loudly.
Xia is too far away from Khorasan! Now he can capture the four state capitals of the Xia Kingdom, just because these places are already ruined. In addition, if the garrison of the Xia Kingdom is lax, the army will be defeated. Moreover, with the Mongols eyeing the north, Khorasan was also under great pressure to defend.
Therefore, the city of Xia Kingdom, he had already decided to give up. It's just that it was brought up in front of Mongolia, so that there was room for bargaining.
Because the situation changed too quickly, Yelu Ahai was also extremely passive. Therefore, he also has to communicate with the Mongolian side for many things. When Wang Yinzhi was negotiating, he could also see it, so he responded: "The envoy attaches great importance to the land of returning to the crane, and if you want them to relax, I'm afraid it's not that simple." ”。
When Li Chengji heard this, he took a sip of tea and said, "Then wait a little longer." But with Xia Guo in hand, we still have chips! ”。
This is a new tea from the Xia Kingdom, and I found it in the Thorn Shi Mansion. In the land of Khorasan, I have never drunk new tea. So when he drank it for the first time, Li Chengji also enjoyed it very much.
Wang Yinzhi also knew that this matter could not be discussed in a while, so he talked about the envoys of the Xia Kingdom.
Although Gao Lianghui is still on the way, Xia Guo's negotiation conditions have been passed in advance. Li Chengji has seen it before, and Xia Guo really has the heart to seek peace. It's just that Li Chengji feels that he still has to hurt Xia Guo, otherwise when the Khorasan army retreats, they won't have a long memory.
This is the temperament of the Xia people!
When they were trying to survive in the gap between the Song and Liao states, they always kept changing their positions like grass on the wall. Later, he was frightened by Mongolia and sued for peace, and he always healed the scars and forgot the pain, and his back was bad. As a result, the Li family was later slaughtered by the Mongols and destroyed the country.
Now the Xia State is suing for peace, and at the same time sending troops and horses in Titenzeng. I heard that even the country's top combat power, the 'Iron Harrier', was sent. In the battle with the Mongols in the old years, the Iron Harrier made a lot of achievements. However, because the number of people was too small, the Mongols found a flaw, and there were many casualties.
Now that they are sent to deal with Khorasan, they will have to remember it for a long time.
Let Wang Yinzhi go down to prepare and treat Gao Lianghui well. and let Gao Yi see him, so that the father and son can reunite. Because of confidentiality, Gao Yi has not restored his real name to the outside world until now. Even to persuade the two states of Shagua to surrender, they also used letters to meet each other.
Now Gao Yi is in the army, using Tao Yi's name. Ordinary people really don't know that he is the famous Gao Linggong.
Some of those who knew about it were now forcibly relocated by Khorasan. With the affairs department covering it up, no one at the top of Xia Guo knew that Gao Yi was still alive.
After two days, outside the city of Ganzhou, the reeds in the Heihe River basin crisscrossed by the water network rippled. Many of the deserted fields are overgrown with tender green weeds, and some perched waterfowl leisurely forage in them. There were also a number of jackals gnawing on the bones of dead people.
Farming here has been abandoned since the old days, and this year it was hit by the Khorasan Expedition, and there is no one to cultivate it. Some of the dead bodies in the reeds were also left unattended, and were left to be eaten by livestock.
A group of armored warriors came to the banks of the Black River and flew hundreds of birds.
"The Khorasans did not come out of the war, and they were very well guarded. If you want to attack, you have to think long-term! Liu Zhaoyi looked at the outpost in Khorasan in the distance with a thousand miles of realm, and said loudly.
Originally, there were several small cities outside the city of Ganzhou, but the people were taken captive by Khorasan, and the city was also burned. The village will not be spared, and it will be burned to the ground. Only when the reed grew in the water did it not burn.
Otherwise, they would have no place to hide.
"This turtle-shell-like outpost really wants to be burned!" , Wei Wei scolded angrily. There are reconnaissance hot air balloons over the outpost, and people are watching them at all times. Traps were also placed around the outposts, and the slightest movement of them would alert the Khorasans.
And that's not even the scariest of all!
When the Khorasan soldiers found them, they would injure them with loud fireworks. When that thing gets it, it's on fire! And the mounts were frightened, and it was easy for them to run around in a frenzy, and to throw them off their horses alive.
After suffering countless secret losses like this, the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom no longer dared to approach the outpost on horseback. So Liu Zhaoyi and Wei Wei Moming and other horse scouts only dared to walk.
They are part of the captive army, and they are the main force in this counterattack against Khorasan. Although the old man suffered defeat at the hands of the Mongols, but in the event of a war, they still need to go out, although there are iron harriers will also help in the war, but 3,000 people, it is impossible to be the main force.
Therefore, the success or failure of the war depends on them.
After observing this secretly for a long time, the gate of the outpost, which had been closed all along, suddenly opened wide. Their hearts tightened, and the secret path wouldn't find out.
In fact, it's so unlucky!
A group of fifty Khorasan squads rode fast horses and hurried in their direction.
"Let's go!" , Liu Zhaoyi said immediately. They were not a large team, only nine people. Among them, he was the leader, and when he gave the order, the people did not care to hide, and ran to the deserted village by the reeds.
It was an abandoned village, many of which were charred and blackened. But when the other party is riding a horse, they can only run here.
"Driving the ······", the figure of the Khorasan soldiers driving the horses came, and Liu Zhaoyi and they ran faster.
But two legs can't outrun four legs in the end, and soon some backward Xia soldiers were shot to death. Liu Zhaoyi ran to a locust tree at the entrance of the village, and just as he was about to catch his breath, an arrow was nailed to the trunk.
