Chapter 372: Loyal Martyr

The Great Song Dynasty was carrying out a fiery conscription, and the peace talks on the Liao side were becoming more and more intense. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the power of a great victory, Ouyang Xiu is full of strength, no matter what, he will cut a piece of fat on Liaoguo.

Their initial demand was that the Liao State cede the land and return all the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Great Song Dynasty.

Where can Chongyuan agree to this request, the two sides have slapped the table and stared at each other countless times, Ouyang Xiu reduced the request to half, and only asked the Liao State to return Shunzhou, Zhuozhou, Youzhou, Danzhou, Mozhou, Jizhou, these six states plus Yingzhou, are exactly the southeast of the northern branch of Taihang Mountain, that is, the seven states of Shannan.

If these seven states are taken back, the forces of the Great Song Dynasty can be successfully pushed to the front line of the Great Wall, and from then on, they can rest assured.

However, Youzhou is Yelu Chongyuan's lair, and he can't let it out no matter what.

If you really want it, then you have to fight......

When things came to this point, Ouyang Xiu was furious and stopped the negotiations, and the Great Song envoy prepared to roll up and go back.

Ouyang Xiu also left a sentence, "Since you refuse to let it, then Da Song can only take it back by himself!" For the land of Yanyun, even if the blood is drained, it will not hesitate! ”

Ouyang Xiu's toughness made the Liao country very uncomfortable, and the land could not be allowed, but the problem was that peace could not be negotiated, and Wang Ningan increased the number of people on the sanctions list every day.

Originally, it was limited to Yelu Hongji, but this time, Yelu Chongyuan's father and son were all on the list, and Wang Ningan also froze all their assets in the Great Song Dynasty.

The heavy vitality is like thunder, regretting that he shouldn't have listened to Wang Ning'an's flickering, what kind of trade money bank, invest in the Great Song Dynasty, the result is good, all the money is frozen, that is a few million, plus trade sanctions, after a few months, the loss is not counted...... And seeing that winter is coming, in recent years, Liao has frantically commercialized agriculture, resulting in insufficient grain production...... In the past, Liao was not afraid, if you didn't give food, Lao Tzu would rob it, but this time he was beaten to the point that his head was bleeding, and Liao didn't have the courage to do so.

Without food, people will inevitably starve!

Even if the Great Song Dynasty didn't do it, the Liao State would be in danger.

This is the power of trade exchanges, silently, and by the time you realize it, you have already been poisoned.

Just when the Liao State was helpless, the great monk Fayuan came.

To say that in recent years Song Liao trade, the most benefited is the source of law, now the Baoji Temple is the place where all parties of the merchants compete to stay, the monks help to pull the line match, negotiate a business, there is a tenth of the profit, and the money is still in their hands, a large amount of currency, just borrowing can earn countless interest, to say that the richest in Daliao today is not the lord of Liao, nor the father and son of Chongyuan, but the master of the source of law!

Of course, people are superb in cultivation and regard money as dung, if it were not for the overall situation of peace between Song and Liao and the well-being of the people of the two countries, the master would definitely not have gone out of the mountain.

"Master Ouyang, you have deep roots in wisdom, why are you obsessed with the land of Yanyun?"

"The parents who have suffered from the body and skin cannot be easily abandoned, not to mention the ancestral homeland, the land of Yanyun. If Yan Yun can't be restored, the old man won't be blind when he dies! ”

Fa Yuan let out a long sigh, "The Buddha said that people in the world have seven sufferings, birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love, parting, and unbelieving. This life, old age, sickness and death is the normal state of life, and no one can escape it. But these last three are their own iniquities! Master Ouyang, can you still see it with your discerning eyes? Today's land of Yanyun is different from more than a hundred years ago, although there are people of the Han family, but all of them are attributed to the lord of Liao, and the Song people are different, even if you take it back, it is just a rebellion every day, swords and soldiers every day, the war is endless, and the gains outweigh the ......losses."

Ouyang Xiu took a deep breath, "What the master said is not unreasonable, but my Great Song has been bullied repeatedly, this hatred and hatred cannot be repaid!" ”

"Alas, in the end, it's just a matter of face!"

"So what? Ordinary people often say that people fight for a breath, and the Buddha receives a stick of incense, and if he doesn't let this breath go well, the old man can't explain! ”

Fa Yuan lowered his head, thought about it for a long time, and said with a smile: "Master Ouyang, in fact, there is no way to solve it, you might as well learn from the ancients." ”

Ouyang Xiu frowned and said, "Please make it clear to the master." ”

"Hehe, a few decades ago, the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Great Song Dynasty gave Da Liao a year's coin, the two sides shook hands and made peace, stopped the war, and it was too peaceful and happy for decades. Now that the sword soldiers are being revived, it is better to let Da Liao give the New Year's coins to the Great Song Dynasty! What does Master Ouyang think? ”

Ouyang Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "This is a way, is Liao Guo willing to agree?" ”

……

"Never say yes! Let's send money to the Song Dynasty, it's unreasonable! ”

Nerugu jumped like thunder, Chongyuan also had a calm face, a dark cloud, when did he see the bandit group taking money out. They don't agree to live or die, and the nobles of Liao also have this attitude, and no one is willing to pay money.

Fa Yuan shook his head, "Lord Wang, little Lord Wang, the old monk thinks that even if he gives Da Song a little New Year's coin, it is not impossible. Take last year as an example, the trade volume of Song Liao was as much as 90 million guan, and just by extracting tariffs, he earned more than 5 million guan, not to mention the profit from the sale of cattle, sheep and timber. ”

These words moved the nobles of Liao, but in fact, there is no way not to be impressed, the big guys have money to detain Wang Ning'an!

Eating the marrow knows the taste, and the huge profits brought by trade have unconsciously blindfolded the hearts of the Liao people, and five years ago, they would never bow their heads, but at this moment, they have a little thought.

Some people are even looking forward to giving money quickly, after all, they are taking the money from the imperial court, but Wang Ningan is holding their own money!

Obviously, these people in the Liao State have been pulled to the same level as the Great Song gentry. If Empress Dowager Xiao sees their appearance, she will be guaranteed to crawl out of the grave and strangle them to death one by one!

After being silent for a long time, someone actually spoke: "What if the big Song lion opens his mouth?" ”

Fa Yuan smiled, "What Da Song wants is face, the two sides can't do business, and their losses are not small, as long as they are given a step, everyone is willing to come down." ”

……

With Master Fayuan shuttling back and forth, the two sides finally returned to the negotiation table, and around the matter of the New Year's coin, the two sides were arguing again, and the stars were flying all over the sky.

Zhang Dun didn't know where to calculate it, and said that the Great Song Dynasty was invaded by the Liao State this time, and the losses totaled 10 million guan, and the Liao State must compensate.

Isn't this a joke, how can the Liao State agree!

Just kept bargaining, and Ouyang Xiu promised to set the annual coin at 300,000 guan per year, plus 1 million guan in war compensation.

This is the final bottom line of the Great Song Dynasty, if you don't agree, you will go to war!

Yelu Chongyuan categorically refused, what a joke, the Empress Dowager Xiao was about to hit the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, but only took 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk. The Great Song Dynasty just defeated Yelu Hongji, and the Liao State still has hundreds of thousands of troops, this is not an alliance under the city!

In desperation, Fa Yuan came forward again, and he talked with Ouyang Xiu all night.

War reparations can be waived, and the annual annual annual amount of 300,000 yuan remains unchanged, but equivalent materials can be accepted.

When this news came, Chongyuan was overjoyed, he also did a lot of business, and his brain was flexible, the so-called equivalent materials, this thing is very knowledgeable, such as horses! In Liaodong, you can get a horse from the savage in two or three times, transport it to Yanyun, 10 yuan, sell it to Cangzhou for 30 yuan, get it to the capital, 100 yuan...... Even if it is calculated according to the price of Cangzhou, that is to say, if you take out 10,000 horses a year, you can send the Great Song Dynasty away...... It's really not expensive!

"Master, why is Ouyang Xiu willing to bow his head? It can't be without a reason, right? ”

"The prince is high, they want someone."

"Who?"

"Yang Ye, Yang is invincible!"

……

To the north of Youzhou, there is a vicissitudes of danger, called Gubeikou!

On the hillside, among the trees, there is a small temple, but the four words on the plaque of the small temple are thrilling!

"Loyal martyrs"!

The handwriting is not pretty, but the person who also writes also surprises you!

This is the imperial pen, which was written by Yelu Longxu of the Liao Holy Sect.

And the temple ** is dedicated to Yang Ye Yang Invincible!

It is not difficult for a general to be respected by others, build a temple to worship, or enjoy a martial temple, but it is not difficult to make the enemy respect, and the enemy's emperor even personally built an ancestral hall to worship, which is not to say that it is unique, and it is rare......

Yang Ye did it, and his loyalty and courage not only convinced the Great Song Dynasty, but also the opponents of the Liao State!

Ouyang Xiu took Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing, stepped on the stone steps full of moss, step by step, walked to the front of the small temple, and stopped for a long time, Ouyang Xiu walked in, knelt down vertically, and Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing also quickly knelt down.

"The old general's heroic spirit is in the sky, and Ouyang Xiu, the courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, has come to meet the general!"

Ouyang Xiu bowed respectfully, and then said with tears in his eyes: "For decades, letting the old general suffer in a foreign country is all my incompetence, and I can't restore Yan Yun and avenge the old general!" I don't have the face to meet the old general, and I came here today to tell the old general that I won the Great Song! We won!! Although we can't get Yanyun back for the time being, we can take the old general home with dignity! ”

"General Yang, come home with us!"

After finishing speaking, Ouyang Xiu and the three knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, and the cuckoo cried blood, making people cry.
