"Li Xiang has worked hard, in fact, only I understand your pressure and hard work best. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Gao Fangping clenched his fists and said to Brother Cha.

Brother Cha was a little flattered, and he really believed that in fact, his difficulties and mentality, I am afraid that only Gao Fangping could understand.

But in the face of this sugar-coated cannonball, Brother Cha also seemed very cautious, and hugged his fists and saluted back: "Gao Xiang is too polite, I can't afford it, you bring me a high hat, it will seem very ironic, as a person who has lost in your hands twice, now my Brother Cha is carrying the sincerity of Western Xia to negotiate peace." ”

Gao Fangping touched his chin and said: "It's okay to talk, in my concept, fighting and killing people is just a means, and the ultimate goal is to bargain, everything in this world has a value object." ”

Brother Cha couldn't help but pout, thinking about his words for a long time.

"I, Gao Fangping, have always been simple, since your brother Cha said that he came with sincerity, you directly said, what price does Xixia open to protect Xiping Mansion and Xingqing Mansion?" Gao Fangping said again.

"Accept the canonization of the Song State, and hand over 100,000 yuan of annual coins, 500 war horses, and 1,000 cattle and sheep every year. Then ask the Great Song Dynasty to return the Western Xia land occupied this time. Song Xia will be repaired forever and will no longer meet each other? "Brother Cha said.

Gao Fangping laughed, "Li Xiang treats me as a three-year-old child, right?" Speaking of canonization, Western Xia has always been a subject state of the Great Song Dynasty. However, in fact, it is the Song State that gives you New Year's coins many times, but there is no real peace between the two countries. What went wrong? Of course, I believe that it is not all your fault of Western Xia, but you must have an unshirkable responsibility in it. Do you really think that a person as practical as me would believe that mere contract? “

Brother Cha couldn't help but sigh, although Gao Fangping was strong, he was not full of nonsense, and he was relatively objective on the whole, not only telling the truth, but also admitting that the friction between the two countries was not all the fault of Western Xia, which was rare.

Thinking like this, Brother Cha's impression of Gao Fangping was a little better.

Gao Fangping said again: "In short, I don't believe in paper contracts. Li Xiang, you are good at governing the country, you come to tell me, what is the reason why civil contracts are valid most of the time? ”

Brother Cha couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I see what you mean. The reason why the civil contract is valid is that there are government violent agencies holding the scales and endorsing the contract. However, in the world we live in, there is no such institution to bind you and me, and it is no wonder that you don't believe in paper contracts. ”

Gao Fangping patted his legs and smiled: "It's refreshing to talk to someone who understands." Well, this minister has put his words here this time, there is only one basis for negotiations between you and me: as a defeated country, you must accept my Great Song garrison, Han Feizi said that human nature is evil, as a conspiracy theory persecution delusional person I don't believe in anything, only fists. The garrison of our Song State is not to invade your Western Xia interests, but to protect you and the terms of the contract signed this time are effectively implemented. For the rest, let's talk about it slowly. ”

Brother Cha looked at him strangely for a long time, and felt that this person's point of view was really peculiar.

"Why Li Xiang, do you think the original Xiang's point of view is too strange to accept?" Gao Fangping asked.

Brother Cha sighed and said: "Actually, I happen to understand your thoughts, I don't think there is anything too much about this, because in fact, the Song army has already strategized the important places of my Western Xia, and we have no ability to take it back, and this point is not transferred by our will at all." It's just that...... Gao Xiang: Do you think this point of view can convince the Western Xia Emperor? ”

Gao Fangping smiled: "I think it's okay, it mainly depends on how you go back and how you persuade him." There are two points, first, Li Qianshun is willing to become a subject country and accept the canonization of the Great Song Dynasty, so there is no legal problem with the suzerain's garrison in the subject country. 2. If he does not accept the garrison, this is assumed that his acceptance of the canonization is false. On these two points, this is the fact that the two sides are currently playing through hard work, is it simple? ”

Brother Cha said: "If I can't convince the emperor's brother in the end, can you really destroy the Western Xia and successfully rule and lead this land?" ”

Gao Fangping smiled and said: "I understand what you mean, it is really difficult to fight to the end to conquer the entire region, at least now I and Liu Yanqing can't do it." And if you want to mobilize millions of people to launch a war to destroy the country, the pressure from the political, economic, people's livelihood and other aspects of the Great Song Dynasty will be very terrifying. And because there will be too much bloodshed in the war, the resentment after the war is too heavy, and the people's livelihood is too bad, which is not conducive to governance. Besides, if it really comes to the time to destroy the country, the Liao State will definitely intervene, then it is not a small fight, nor is it something that Xiao's inner body can suppress. So that's your Cha Ge's confidence, and that's why you think you can come to negotiate? ”

Brother Cha hugged his fists and said: "It's good that Gao Xiang understands, it's really worry-free to talk to someone like you." ”

Gao Fangping changed his words and said: "However, no matter how difficult it is for me, I have to carry it out." Unless I can get the benefits that I think are satisfactory, I am not afraid of difficulties. Because I always feel that as an official, I have to solve problems, this is the meaning of being an official, and this original intention has never been lost since my debut. At that time, I was facing a confrontation with your imposing army of 400,000 from Bei 1 Beijing, which was of course difficult, even almost impossible, but I went, and now, fourteen months later, I have not only recovered the lost territory, but also marched to Xiping Mansion. ”

Brother Cha sighed, temporarily closed his eyes and didn't want to speak. This little devil spoke sonorously and domineeringly, but the helpless thing is that this is the truth, now people have absolute strength, soldiers are in the city, and they are willing to negotiate It is really because he is a person who really cares about people's livelihood.

Brother Cha knows very well that if he changes to others, he just doesn't have the ability to come to Xiping Mansion, if others really do this, those traitors will not negotiate, and they will all become madmen who are happy to achieve great success, and directly start the bloody war to destroy the country, as for the indelible hatred of the Tangut people brought by the blood after the war, of course, it is not a matter of madmen.

Gao Fangping said again: "And to this day, Li Xiang, you also understand that although the Liao State is strong, I, Gao Fangping, may not be afraid of the Liao State." “

"At this point, I believe that Gao Xiang is telling the truth, you are such a person." Brother Cha nodded.

"Then you can tell me well, do you want to accept the conditions of the garrison? This is the basis for everything that you and I can talk about, and there is no need to talk about it without this article. You should not try to maneuver from the first three rows of our Song court, because to this day, they do not dare to sell the profits of our expeditionary army with blood at will. If it really happens, then you are helping me to take power in advance, and I will enter King Qinjing on the grounds that the sacred heart has been deceived and the interests of the dynasty have been trampled on, and a group of people will be hung with street lamps, and who will lead the way for you at that time? Gao Fangping said with a smile.

Brother Cha looked at him in horror, but subconsciously believed that he would really do this.

In fact, when Li Qianshun agreed to the peace talks, he wanted to arrange it this way at the beginning, but Brother Cha said that he couldn't, otherwise Gao Fangping would really find a reason to take power in advance, and at that time, Song Guo really had the ability to mobilize and launch a war to destroy the country under the leadership of this mad prime minister.

"Is it really necessary to garrison troops, and there can be no other room for détente?" Brother Cha smiled bitterly.

Gao Fangping picked up the teapot and poured him tea, sighed and said, "This is the bottom line, everything else can be discussed." Li Xiang, you know, to fight to this point, the war will have a cost, if I don't get back enough benefits for the Great Song Dynasty, I will be followed by the soldiers who fought with me, as well as the responsibilities of the people who trust me, I am indeed not afraid of the first three rows of the imperial court, because my power and prestige do not depend on them to obtain. But I'm really afraid of the big-headed people and the big-headed soldiers, who are the ones who support me to get my rights. ”

Brother Cha lifted the cup of tea and drank it all, and then said: "Listening to the words of the high minister, the word 'garrison' is used instead of occupation, that is, under the premise that my Western Xia accepts the canonization, those lands are still my Western Xia land?" Those people are still my people in Western Xia? The government and government affairs are still my Xixia's? ”

Gao Fangping said with a lewd smile: "You are right about this. The one who is most familiar with these people's customs is, of course, your Western Xia. I confess that you are still the owners of this land, and that is the premise. Because frankly, you really gave me the land and the people, and you are also a hot potato for me, and it will waste too much of my energy to take the civilians seriously. Because since they are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, they must be treated seriously and fairly, they must be fed, clothed, and housed, and they must be helped to get rid of poverty, which will inevitably dilute the interests of the inherent people of the Great Song Dynasty, and in the eyes of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, they will take money to subsidize the enemy country, what do they think of the group that supported me at that time? ”

Brother Cha couldn't help but smile a little.

Gao Fangping knocked on the table and said: "So yes, I am also selfish on this issue, I can't liberate all the bitter people of Western Xia, as an outstanding young man of the Great Song Dynasty who is moral, moral and idealistic, I have to liberate them, of course, I have to go to the bottom, so I don't have the confidence to go to the bottom, I won't liberate it." Your Li family is still the master of this land, this is the principle, and it will be maintained for at least a hundred years. ”

Brother Cha breathed a sigh of relief again, although this is also called "occupied", but on the surface, it sounds better, and with some face, it is easier to convince the people of Western Xia and the emperor of Western Xia.

Gao Fangping said again: "Not only that, what I know is that once the fight is really over and the peace talks begin, as the tradition of the world's police, the Liao State will still intervene to be a-stirring stick." Then at that time, I didn't want to tear my face with Liao, Xiao's Lidi helped me at the beginning, and I would give him back a face, so as long as you Brother Cha has the ability to persuade me to the first three rows of the Great Song Dynasty, I, Gao Fangping, have no objection to returning Weizhou, Mengjing, Yaodecheng, Pulecheng, Yanzhou, Hongzhou, and Longzhou to you, these are still your Western Xia territories. ”

Brother Cha said with a little excitement: "Really? ”

"Seriously." Gao Fangping said, "I only care about the general direction of the expeditionary force's interests not being sold cheaply, as for the negotiation rules, I can't control the negotiation rules, and the first hawk Tao Jiefu Xiangye also retired due to illness." So Uncle Zhang is the only difficult person, as long as you can convince him with reason, I don't object. ”

Brother Cha picked up the teapot and poured a cup of drink, and said with a smile: "It's refreshing, it's really refreshing." ”
