Tao Kan urgently rushed back from the eastern front to the western front, and almost had the momentum of exhaustion, which was naturally intentional by Dongxia. It is said that Dia Bird returned from the north with only a small army...... If this is the case, Diao must be unwilling to give up the Northern Expedition, and if he does not give up the Northern Expedition, the difficulty of peace talks between the two sides will be reduced. Arriving at the Yuyang River Valley, he made a slight arrangement and immediately led the cavalry to the front to check the situation.

Hundreds of miles east and west, it was already two days later.

The snow has long since melted.

Many of the tenacious leaves began to wither at this time, fluttering under the horses' hooves, and the mountains near and far would flash patches of snow white, which was the remnants of the snow in the shade of the mountain. Immediately a mountain that can be overlooked, look at the Dongxia camp, this was originally the camp of the Linzhong clan, if it wasn't for the Dongxia people to stir up, he was still in the Yuyang River Valley for a generation, maybe he would have spent a lot of effort to rebel, but now, it seems to be too late.

He clearly saw that in the open ground under the sun, the people of the forest tribe were forming a line, sometimes advancing and retreating, sometimes holding spears, holding them at an angle......

Training?

He had doubts in his heart, turned around and shouted to the people around him: "Check it out immediately." How many soldiers did Dia Bird bring back? ”

His doubts came from the cunning of Dia Bird.

Since you didn't bring the troops back, you shouldn't blatantly drill and expose them, and you told me that you were a force in the middle of the forest, and you practiced openly, didn't you intend to hide the fact that you didn't bring the troops back? That's not right. Back at the camp, he didn't do anything and began to wait for information.

Jingkang's army stopped.

In addition to sending envoys to forcefully demand that Jingkang abandon the siege of some of the remaining Dongxia troops, release the prisoners, return the remains, and rescue the distressed Dongxia people, there was no major move.

This seems to prove that Diaobird did not bring back the troops, since he did not bring the troops back, why could he still make such a strong demand? It's like an ultimatum.

Diplomatic note?

Well, let's see what you come up with after the ultimatum.

Tao Kan decided to take a look at Dongxia's hole cards, after all, it was far to Changyue, the news was not smooth enough, and how to negotiate peace had not yet arrived.

Then take a look.

In the few days he sat and watched, Dongxia had already widely sought the opinions of the peace talks, and of course these discussions were among those important generals and officials. Even the Ta Ta Er Tiger was only known to Dia Bird when it was finalized, and when he heard it, he roared loudly and ran out violently.

When he arrived outside Diao's tent, several of the generals saluted him, but he threw them on their heads.

Straight in.

Directly for the soldiers who died in the Northern Plains.

Directly for the unwillingness in my heart.

Directly for Yang Erguang's dying entrustment.

It was as if he had exploded, standing in the big tent of Dia Bird, and no matter whether Dia Bird was discussing anything with someone at the desk, he stood in the center, clenched his hands into fists, and yelled, "Abba." You're confused. How can you give up the North Plains. In his rage, he had nothing to hide, and he cried out, "You said that this is our future capital." You can't take it back, you give me soldiers, I take it, I swear, I swear. ”

His eyes widened.

He thought with a creaky knuckle.

The breath in his chest spewed out more than a foot.

Dia Bird sighed.

Yang Erguang's dying deeds were told to him. That was the unwillingness of the Dongxia people in the Northern Plains, and that was also the roar and unwillingness of all the Dongxia people...... But at present, the Jingkang Standing Army has exceeded two million, close to the entire Dingkou of Dongxia, if it continues, Jingkang will not be better, what about Dongxia, once the war breaks out, border trade is banned, and the farmland concentrated in the south is barren, how many times can Dongxia afford it?

Dia Bird whispered a word and asked the civil servants to go out first, and he pressed the case and stood up.

He looked at the tiger gently.

This is the son who made him proud, not to say that the strange Da Da Er Hu took the central Lin clan to death, and if he was beaten, he was no longer fourteen years old, he was stubborn and stubborn, commanding the army, and competing with Jingkang generals like Tao Kan on the battlefield, although he was defeated, he was quite strong for a while.

Some things, although they do not conform to his Dia Bird's point of view, do not mean that another person can do a good job.

This is not a stain on the tale of the tiger.

What especially pleased Di Ah Niao was that there was no discouragement on the tiger of Da Da Erhu, he still wanted to fight, and he dared to fight, still practiced martial arts, ran down the camp, and inspired the soldiers...... Even more than before. This is the most important quality of Dia Bird, he himself is such a person, as long as he relaxes a little and gives up the slightest bit of progress, he is not today, he does not think that this Dongxia is he used his ingenuity to fight, he only thinks that this is his perseverance in exchange, and with perseverance, even if there is no Dongxia, he will have some achievements.

Ta Ta Er Hu seems to have grown a little taller, with a straight nose, an open forehead, and eyebrows and sideburns...... How to see how to like it. People say they look like him, and he also thinks like him, with a portrait and a similar personality, and he also likes how he sees it. It's not like beating it up when they meet for the first time, some of it is really beaten for others to see, he didn't choose to scold, pulled up his robe, sat on the low couch, patted it aside, and asked: "Ah Hu." Come here. ”

Da Da Erhu turned his head and refused, "Don't go." ”

Dia Bird snorted, but didn't blame him, and whispered, "Ah Hu." Now that you know, you must know the reasoning behind the claim. ”

Ta Da Erhu did not deny it.

He only grasped one fact and shouted: "But we still have hundreds of thousands of troops." Our armies are better at fighting than theirs. How can you lose without fighting? ”

Diaobird suddenly asked him a question: "What is the war for?" ”

Without thinking about it, the tiger replied, "Conquer the enemy." Dia Bird asked him, "Then have you ever thought about survival and profit?" Yes. The current Dongxia has the strength to fight with Jingkang, once it is fought? The war will last for months, years, or even more than ten years, the North Plain, Yuyang, Huangxi, thousands of miles are all bones, even if we win, Jingkang is full of corpses, and even stand up a warlord to replace the emperor, what can we get? Maybe someone else will rise up behind it and replace us. ”

Da Da Erhu was stunned for a moment.

He said angrily: "Anyway, I don't do it, I can lose the Northern Plains today, and I can lose Yuyang tomorrow, I heard that you gave all the border cities in the southwest of Huangxi to my adoptive mother over there in Gaoxian...... What else do we have in Dongxia? He was like a little lion, holding his fist and roaring: "What else do we have in Dongxia? ”

Dia Bird said calmly: "Someone." ”

Then he said, "There are large grasslands in the north for you to gallop on." ”

The tiger yelled, "I don't want it." Abba. Please retake the Northern Plains. He threw himself to his knees and threw himself on the ground, and with a thud it seemed to be pounding on the heart of the bird.

He knocked down again.

Diaobird couldn't help it anymore, stood up and rushed forward, knocking him over with one kick.

His son, he was willing to beat him, but he was reluctant to let him kowtow and get bruised.

Then he went to hug his leg and cried and said, "The city of the Northern Plains is full of corpses and bones, Abba please take the Northern Plains back for them." ”

Dia Bird cried out tears and shook his head with great determination.

He shouted, "Someone." ”

Without looking at his knees, he declared, "You have lost the battle." You still have the face to cry. Shut him up for me, and collect his weapons, lest he kill himself...... If he is not honest, tie up the lonely. ”

Then, he asked, "Has Wang Ben been to Gaoxian?" He's just a rabbit, and it's time for news. ”

The bullock tried desperately to catch the tiger, and the tiger was churning in the tent...... Dia Bird hated it so much that he simply strode out.

A cold air was coming, but he was unprecedentedly firm, and went outside to call out to a few Wenchen who were waiting outside, demanding: "Send someone to the Taokan army again." Sue him, if he wants to negotiate peace, immediately give Gu Chengcheng, put back my general Zhang Tietou, give up the siege of our soldiers who are still fighting, and return the bones...... Otherwise, you will bear the consequences. Lone only gave him a day. ”

Have you made peace?

Could it be that the king also has the heart to repent?

The crowd did not question it, and immediately let people do it.

At this time, Gao Xianzao was already confused.

On the day Wang Ben came to Gao Xian, as soon as he said Dongxia's decision in court, the monarch and ministers were already in chaos. Even Long Liushu didn't have the slightest calmness, and rushed down from the dragon chair to ask him. Generals such as Dragon Swingtail, Dragon Sand Badger, and Golden Vulture surrounded him and asked him if he was true or false.

Wang Ben's heart was also very sad.

He began to state the conditions: "Our king has said it. The premise of his decision was the peaceful residence of the soldiers and civilians of the Eastern Xia, and for the Dongxia people in the fifteen cities in the southwest of Huang, if they were willing to move away, please allow them to move away. All the land in the public can be given to your country, but the private property of the people must be protected. Among the people, those who are willing to become Ermin, Dongxia will be free, but those who are still willing to be our Dongxia people. They are still from the Eastern Xia country, and they can pay taxes to you and obey your laws, but your country must treat them equally, and must not insult them, trample on them, or bully them, and allow them to return to the country if they wish, or enlist in the army, or become officials. We, the Eastern Xia, are willing to send envoys to ensure that their lives are not affected and that they can obey the laws of your country. ”

Long Liushu was still confused, and asked suspiciously: "Give it to me, why are you still your people?" ”

Wang Ben said: "Yes, the Dongxia people are still the Dongxia people. But you have jurisdiction, you can collect taxes, and if you are willing to be a high-ranking person, allow them to become high-ranking people. Those who are unwilling are still our Dongxia people, who only live in noble lands, still keep their private property, and be sacred and inviolable. ”

Long Liushu was confused.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was also confused.

After a while, Wu Longqi didn't dare to raise his voice, and asked him: "That is to say, we collect taxes highly, but we keep the land for you?" You're going to take away our territory? ”

Wang Ben denied it: "No. Your territory. We have a large amount of land in the public that can provide you with a high degree of residence for the Gaoxian people. Our people are just expatriates. It's just that our king wants to replace the barren mountains and mountains in the north, but he doesn't want his subjects to suffer from displacement. The same is true for the people returning to the north, and you can also send officials to assist me in managing the diaspora in Eastern Xia. ”

He emphasized: "Our king is a benevolent king. ”

To emphasize the value, he said, "If all of us move away, what will be left behind? On the contrary, it is not in the interests of your country. The world knows our Seiko of Eastern Xia, and they will be your best craftsmen, and they can teach you those who have migrated to the high people. ”

The dragon sand badger asked, "You are saying that you are at a loss, so why is the bird willing to suffer this loss?" ”

Wang Ben didn't want to say it: "Now that he is at odds with Jingkang, my king doesn't want to fight on both sides, he wants to become the king of the desert and conquer Mobei, including the places north of Heishui." There are some tribes north of Heishui, and they are also yang and yin against your country, is he considered to be from your country? Not counted. But will they hinder our conquest of Mobei, and will the enemies of Mobei wander over? This is what our king must consider. If our armies were to enter and leave the borders of what Gao Xian believed, it would inevitably damage our alliances, which is why our great king decided to replace them. ”

The attraction is so great.

Wealth in the southwest of Huangxi?

How much can I collect in taxes?

Farmland?

Town?

Wang Ben said: "We have suffered too many losses, so in addition to these conditions, there is a small request, our Dongxia is not the opponent of the Jingkang people, please send troops to King Gao Xian to help my king." ”

The dragon sand badger looked up to the sky and laughed.

The others laughed too.

They finally understood that Dongxia couldn't defeat Jingkang, mainly because they came to invite soldiers, and this replacement was a loss, and they couldn't take care of it.

The whole country of Gaoxian is in a frenzy.

The king of Dongxia cut half of Gao Xian to Gao Xian, yes, it is half, although Gao Xian is very large, but most places are inaccessible, only Huangdong is their densely populated place, with half of Huangxi...... That's okay, then it will restore the momentum of Long Qingyun when he was alive.

Dragon's blood was recalled from the lower reaches of the Black Water. He also heard about it, and on the way back he galloped briskly, jumping up and down on the black horse, and behind him, the black cavalry followed him...... In order to get the rich Huangxi, Gao Xian's troops who helped him in advance had already gone up, but he still called him back and let Dia Niao see it, so that he would not regret it, Gao Xian helped him, and he also sent troops from all over the country. In other words, this is also a two-handed preparation, even if Dia Bird repents, more than 100,000 Gaoxian troops are swarming in Huangxi, he will not dare to repent.

Xie Shilling was sent to receive him. He watched one by one Gao Xian people go to the battlefield, remembered the word "expatriate" of Dia Bird, different from his colleagues who were still pessimistic, and said leisurely: "The king has done another earth-shattering feat. Our Dongxia losses have been minimized, and as long as there are still our Dongxia people, they? It's just keeping the land for us, giving us a farm, and transporting money and food. ”

He said proudly: "The people of Dongxia, let you govern for ten years, and you are still Dongxia people." ”
