At the end of November, Gao Huaiyuan finally returned to Lizhou City, this time he spent nearly half a year from sending troops to returning, but the result was to recover the entire territory of Qinfeng Road in the Great Song Dynasty, as well as most of the Jingzhao Road, and the results were so great that everyone was happy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although he chanted the sutras every day, his subordinates would relay the news they received about the Song army to him, and Saban's mood was getting better and better, especially after hearing the news that the Song army had defeated the Mongol army that had lost nearly half of the troops in tow, he also showed more goodwill to Zhou Cong'an, who often accompanied him.

When Gao Huaiyuan returned to Lizhou City to settle down the generals, and held a grand congratulatory meeting, awarded a medal of courage to those soldiers who made contributions in this battle, and awarded a commemorative medal to each Song army soldier who participated in this battle to prove that they had participated in this battle, Saban finally asked Zhou Cong'an to see Gao Huaiyuan...

Gao Huaiyuan sat on the chair and said to Zhao Kui with a smile: "It seems that Saban has already made up his mind!" ”

Saban promised to help the Southern Song Dynasty persuade the Tibetan tribes to submit to the Great Song Dynasty, and pay tribute to the Song Dynasty, provide more war horses to the Song army for the Song army's needs, and at the same time do not make good alliances with the Mongols, once the Mongols try to enter Tibet, they will be united by Saban to resist to the death!

The Great Song Dynasty agreed to give up the military conquest of Tibet, as long as they agreed to be annexed, they could continue to live in their original positions, but to accept the canonization of the imperial court, the Song court in principle could let the Tibetan tribes have considerable autonomy, as little as possible to interfere with the autonomy of the Tibetan people, and also exempt a large number of Tibetan taxes, but the attached forces should submit to the Song court the list of officials under their jurisdiction, as well as the number of people, the amount of tribute, etc., and accept the unified dispatch and command of the imperial court, and the Tibetan forces should draw a detailed map of the land under their jurisdiction and submit it to the imperial court for safekeeping, etc. At the same time, the imperial court had the right to send officials to lead the affairs of Tibet and help the development of Tibet, and once Tibet was attacked by the Mongol army, the Southern Song Dynasty had the responsibility and right to send troops and horses into Tibet to cooperate with the Tibetan army to resist the invasion.

Both sides expressed satisfaction with these conditions, and Saban immediately began to write a "Letter from Saban to the Tibetan People", in which the power of the Southern Song Dynasty was greatly exaggerated, as well as the many benefits that the Tubo people could obtain after returning to the Song Dynasty, as well as the treatment and obligations that they could enjoy when the Tibetan people entered the Song Dynasty, etc., and urged all the Tibetan tribes to be attached to the imperial court, so as not to suffer destruction. . .

Secretly, Gao Huaiyuan and Saban also reached an agreement to regard the Sakya sect as the main sect in Tibet and support it, and the agreement between the Tibetan tribes and the imperial court could also be handed over to the Saban Jinzi envoy to deal with, which was equivalent to determining the dominant position of the Sakya sect among the various sects in Tibet.

It can be said that this negotiation is an agreement reached by the Sakya faction and the Song court to take what they need, and it can be said that both sides are happy, and both have solved the big trouble at hand...

Although Gao Huaiyuan is very good on the surface, but in his heart he also knows that wanting to subdue the Tubo tribes by force is an impossible task for the Southern Song Dynasty at the moment, although the Southern Song Dynasty has become very strong under his leadership, but there is absolutely no strength to conquer Tubo by force in a short period of time, after all, war is money, even if the Southern Song Dynasty is rich, it can't support a full-scale war against Tubo, think the Tang Dynasty was powerful enough! If the Song Dynasty did not fight with the Tubo Dynasty for hundreds of years, and could not do anything to the Tubo Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was absolutely impossible to use troops against the Tubo on a large scale under the threat of the Jin State and the Mongol State. Therefore, the only way to solve Tubo peacefully, after all, Tubo is now also divided into a mess, and the annexation of Tibet by the Mongol Khanate in history was also done in this way, but this time he started a little earlier than the Mongols, and ate Tubo first, so that the Mongols want to invade Sichuan through Tubo, and there is no possibility! The millions of people in Tibet are not easy to mess with, and if the Mongols want to solve Tibet by force, it is estimated that they will not have such a good appetite!

This negotiation lasted more than a month, and finally finalized this matter at the end of the first month just after the New Year, and during this time, the situation on the side of Qin Fenglu was also stabilized with the efforts of Chen Boot and other officials, a large number of land of Jin nobles was recovered, and a large number of vacant land was vacated, part of which was used by the military as tuntian, and part of it was awarded to meritorious generals as rewards, and some of it was distributed to local people for farming, so that the situation in Qinfeng Road stabilized at a very fast speed。。。。。

For this reason, Gao Huaiyuan praised Chen Boot and others, and in the name of the imperial court, awarded Chen Boot Guanwen Pavilion Scholar as an official. At this time, Saban also sent his monks and laymen to act as his envoys, and returned to Tibet with the copy of "Saban's Letter to the Tibetan People" he wrote to begin to send envoys to the Tibetan tribes.

This matter still needs some time, so Gao Huaiyuan handed over the matter to Zhao Kui and Zhou Cong'an, and after discussing with Zhen Dexiu and other ministers through letters, Zhou Cong'an was granted the position of Tubo Xuanfu envoy, so that Zhou Cong'an could cooperate with Saban to complete the integration of the Tubo tribes.

At the same time, Gao Huaiyuan also ordered Yue Kun to lead the defense of Tubo, and dispatched some generals who were familiar with the Tubo language, so that they could enter the forces in Tubo that had declared their submission to the Southern Song Dynasty, and act as a military liaison officer to coordinate the military affairs between the various forces.

Gao Huaiyuan gave these generals to the Tibetan army several missions, one is to establish a good relationship with the minds of these Tibetan forces, the second is to coordinate the relationship between their military strength and the Song army, the third is to secretly buy people's hearts, so that the Tubo people have a complete sense of belonging to the Southern Song Dynasty, the fourth is to help the Tibetan forces draw a detailed map and send it to the Song army headquarters for future use, and the fifth is to help these Tubo people train their troops and be ready to resist the invasion of the Mongol army at any time.

At the same time, in order to put pressure on Tubo, Gao Huaiyuan also ordered Yue Kun to send troops to the border area of Tubo, and continue to put pressure on the Tubo tribes, putting on a posture that if you don't agree to surrender, then we will send troops to destroy you.

During this time, Wokotai led the Mongolian army to continue bloody battles in Tongguan and along the Yellow River, and the Jin State was also forced into a desperate situation, so he rose up and mobilized the main forces of the Jin State to constantly repel the attacks of the Mongolian army, and the losses on both sides were very large, so that after four years of entering Shaoding, Wokotai did not have the strength to lead the Mongolian army to continue to fight.

This war lasted more than half a year, for both sides, have consumed a lot of strength, the Mongols are good to say, after all, they have a large territory, can hold on, but the Jin side is really unable to hold on, the Jin country has become very narrow, only Henan is left, the money and grain are almost consumed, the front army is almost to the point of running out of food...

The exhausted Jin State finally couldn't hold on, and Wanyan Shouxu once again thought of their temporary ally, Comrade Gao Huaiyuan of the Great Song Dynasty.

So Wanyan Shouxu sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty, and the behavior of the envoys of the Jin State was also very pragmatic, he did not leave Huainan to Lin'an, but ran from Qinfeng Road to Lizhou Road to see Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan received the envoys of the Jin country in the Lizhou Envoy Division, and after giving a seat to the envoy of the Jin country, he asked them about their intentions. . .

"Lord Qiyu! The lower official is specially ordered by my lord to come to meet the high lord! At present, our army has repeatedly defeated the Mongol army in Tongguan and along the Yellow River, so that it cannot invade the south, but our dynasty is now short of food and grass, and my lord sent his subordinates to meet Lord Gao, hoping that Lord Gao can remember that our Song and Jin countries are friends, and support our army of 200,000 stones! I wonder if Master Gao can agree? This golden envoy didn't go around the bend, and directly explained his intention to Gao Huaiyuan.

After hearing this, Gao Huaiyuan frowned and said, "You guys are mistaken!" How can such a thing come here to consult with the official? This matter is very important, and it is definitely not for the official to decide, so why don't you go to Lin'an and make my pilgrimage? ”

The golden envoy smiled slightly and pretended to be calm and said: "Who doesn't know that the state affairs of the Great Song Dynasty are in the hands of Lord Gao?" Even if this matter is for Xiaguan and others to go to Lin'an and meet your country's saint, but in the end, doesn't it still have to be approved by the high lord? Therefore, the lower official took the liberty to come directly to Lizhou to ask to see Lord Gao, and hoped that Lord Gao could focus on the overall situation, considering that his lips and teeth were cold, and he would help me to part of the military rations of the DPRK, and my lord would be grateful! ”

Gao Huaiyuan sweated slightly, it turned out that now even the people of the Jin Kingdom knew that Gao Huaiyuan was the person who held the real power in the Southern Song Dynasty, it seems that his title of powerful minister is really fixed! I can't guarantee that many people in the world will secretly scold him for being a traitor! And Jin Guo didn't even pay attention to Zhao Yun, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, and came directly to him to discuss this matter, which also shows that now everyone in the world knows about this matter, so he coughed lightly to hide the embarrassment in his heart and said:

What do you mean by that? This official is just trusted by my emperor! How can I have the final say in this kind of thing! From the official's point of view, this matter should still go to my capital first, and it will not be too late after I make a pilgrimage! After all, you are short of food, so why should you do anything about my court? I think you'd better go back! Gao Huaiyuan immediately waved his hand.

The Jin envoy looked disappointed, stood up and argued about the importance of the Jin Kingdom to the Song Dynasty, and wanted to convince Gao Huaiyuan to agree to import grain to the Jin Kingdom to use against the Mongol army.
