With the skillful swing of the steel knife in the hand of the executing sergeant, the Turkic national teacher Khurchi, who can be called the hero of the desert, became a ghost in the underworld in an instant. When the sergeant presented the head of the bloody Kuerchi to Yang Zhi for examination, it was still the same as when he was alive, and his face was as open. For the sake of the survival of the Turks, Khurchi regarded death as his home, and Prince Soli and the Turkic mission and others all knelt down and fell to the ground in mourning.

Yang Zhi bowed to the head of the Huerchi people with a solemn face, and muttered: "If you can be an enemy of a person like the national teacher in the next life, this is also what Yang wants!" ”

He had a little knowledge of the funeral rites of the Turks when he was dying in the desert, and said to Prince Soli in Turkic: "Later I will order the best medical officer in the army to stitch up the body of the great teacher, and ask the prince to mourn." The peace talks between the two sides may end here, and the prince can first hold a funeral for the national teacher to collect the bones, and if the horse equipment is needed, he can open his mouth. ”

Listening to his fluent Turkic language, Prince Soli looked up in amazement, with a very complicated look in his eyes, mixed with awe for the strong in his sadness and anger.

Chen Wenyuan Rongma was open-minded all his life, and he was relieved of his armor and served as a lieutenant due to old age. It was not difficult for him to understand Yang Zhi's emotion at this moment, but he was quite curious about Hu Erchi's deathbed instructions to Prince Suoli, and couldn't help but ask Yang Zhi. After hearing Yang Zhi's truthful confession, he couldn't help but bow to the head of the Huerchi people, and said solemnly: "Loyal and wise for the country, generous and courageous, this person deserves the old man's courtesy." ”

He is the oldest military giant in Great Xia, and with him taking this lead, many senior generals of the forbidden army who feel the same way have stood up and clasped their fists at the head of the Huerchi people. Geng Chao was very unimpressed, but he just chatted in to deal with it. Taking advantage of the gap between Yang Zhi's walks by his side, he whispered sourly: "Brother Yang, you are much more polite to this Turkic national teacher than to me. ”

"Whether it's friend or foe, as long as it's a hero, I respect it. He is a dead hero. Yang Zhi didn't intend to waste any opportunity to disgust him, and added indifferently: "And you are living shit." ”

The crown prince Zhao Heng and Wang Yunong each thought about their own thoughts, and they sat in the hall silently. The original intention of the emperor to order Wang Yunong Zuoli to negotiate peace was to make him mediate in the middle when the contradictions between the two sides intensified, and he did not want to be completely reduced to a useless ornament.

The channel before and after Yang Zhi killed Hu Erchi switched smoothly, Wang Yunong originally thought that Yang Zhi and Hu Erchi's sympathy was not lacking in sincerity. But it has also gone a little too far. Thinking about it carefully at this time, Yang Zhi also deliberately let the Turkic mission step down after killing someone, so that the murderous atmosphere would be eased and pave the way for the next step of peace talks.

To Yang Zhi's surprise. The sturdy Prince Soli was not a straw bale with well-developed limbs. He swallowed the knocked out teeth and blood and tears, wiped away his tears, and asked Yang Zhi to immediately negotiate the specific matters of peace between the two countries.

Not to mention anything else, the 20,000 elite cavalry sent by the captured general Wei Su to fight deep into the desert will bear at least one more day of attrition and losses for every day that passes, regardless of victory or defeat. Yang Zhi also didn't want to delay for a minute, so he immediately responded.

The ensuing negotiations were completely one-sided. Yang Zhi is like an uncle who goes down to the restaurant to fight tooth sacrifices, and he has the final say on what he eats. The people on the Great Xia side took it for granted that Yang Zhi would slaughter Prince Suoli like a fat pig, but to their great surprise, after Yang Zhi's thrilling lightning and thunder, the raindrops that fell were actually very small.

The emperor's flaunting of martial arts was not entirely a matter of great joy and death, but also of far-reaching political and military significance. So the first one, of course, was that the Turks had to pay tribute to Great Xia, and Prince Soli agreed without frowning.

Second, the Turks paid an annual tribute of 20,000 taels of gold, 10,000 good horses, and 50,000 cattle and sheep to Bactria every year. Prince Soli had no objection to the Gunna of horses, cattle and sheep. However, he said that it was impossible to get together 20,000 taels of gold, and asked for it to be halved.

Unexpectedly, Yang Zhi said a few words, and he was shocked and lost his temper: "I have already thought about it for you, and you can afford 20,000 taels of gold." The gold mines of the Jinshan Mountains can mine more than 30,000 taels of sand gold every year, and there are also many gold jewels that you have looted and extorted from the Tatars, Persians, and many small countries in the Western Regions. ”

Thirdly, the Turks must recognize that the territory of Bactria within 500 li north of the line of Shuofang, Wuhai and Jilantai beyond the Great Wall could be temporarily leased to the Turks, and horses could be used to pay the rent. Great Xia is currently unable to carry out military occupation of this vast area, and many people think that this article has little practical significance, and is just an excuse for Yang Zhiduo to blackmail.

Yang Zhi specified that horses should be used to pay the rent, which aroused the strong vigilance of Prince Soli. Repeatedly bargain with it. However, Yang Zhi's stubborn insistence without any room for negotiation actually did not hesitate to reduce the price of 5,000 taels of gold and 30,000 heads of cattle and sheep to force Prince Suoli to finally agree.

Fourth, Bactria provided 10,000 stone of grain to the Turks free of charge every year. 30,000 catties of tea and 20,000 horses of silk. Still wanted? OK. Fifty miles north of Shuofang City is set up as a trade market between the two countries, not only grain, tea and silk cloth, but also porcelain, iron and even blades can be provided in all aspects, but you have to buy them with money and exchange them for horses.

Prince Soli asked Bactria to send medical officers to the Turks. Denied. The request to send farmers and craftsmen was rejected even more neatly.

What makes Prince Suoli feel that Khurchi did not die in vain, and the first few items are worth the money is the fifth: Great Xia can be invited to send troops "within his ability" to help Prince Suoli "quell the tribal rebellion", or help the Western Turks fight against the Eastern Turks. However, the Xia army invited to fight was supplied by the Turks with horses and grain, and they also had to pay a certain amount of military expenses.

The terms of the peace were not complicated, and the two sides agreed on them by the afternoon of the next day. Yang Zhi and Prince Suoli, as the chief representatives of the negotiations between the two sides, signed the peace treaty with their seals after solemnly swearing an oath to kill horses in the camp of the forbidden army, and the peace agreement between the two countries was declared a complete success.

It is said that the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, although this is the first peace treaty with the Turks in decades, but there are still many people who think that Yang Zhi's asking price is too low. Yang Zhi didn't care at all, didn't explain anything, just smiled faintly and ignored it, entered the palace and paid the order to the emperor and went straight home.

After Yang Zhi surrendered his decree and left the palace, the emperor summoned the crown prince and Wang Yunong to discuss the specific implementation of the peace treaty.

The emperor asked excitedly, "Heng'er, how do you feel about your participation in the whole process?" I let you observe and think about the truth carefully, can you gain something? ”

"Back to my father, my sons and daughters watched the Flying Tiger Marquis discuss peace this time. There is a lot to gain. Zhao Heng replied respectfully: "Yang Zhi acted carefully and with an iron fist, which greatly shocked my Great Xia national prestige. However, it seems that he is pretentious in his sympathy with the Turkic national teacher, and then he agrees to use the power of Great Xia to help Prince Nasuoli compete for the throne, which is quite puzzling to the ministers. As far as the terms of the peace treaty agreed between the two countries are concerned. Erchen also thought that the Turkic conditions were still a little too favorable. The sons were dull, and asked their fathers and kings to solve their doubts. ”

Before the words fell, Wang Yunong frowned when he heard it: the prince's words seemed to be humble and humbly seeking advice, but in fact, his intentions were very vicious. He is alluding to Yang Zhi's fake public and private interests, and he is connected to foreign countries! Don't learn Yang Zhi's vision and scheming by heart. But put your mind on these, if this continues, how many days can you, the prince, do it?

Before the emperor could react, Wang Yunong hurriedly said: "Isn't the Flying Tiger Marquis just a meticulous and iron-fisted man? He was bold and thoughtful, which made the old minister sincerely admire and be fascinated! ”

The emperor was on the rise, and he really didn't care about the prince's words at all: "I also took this peace agreement and thought about it for a long time, and then I was amazed." Yunong, you will tell Heng'er about the wonderful things. ”

"Isn't that the case with the old minister?" Wang Yunong said with admiration on his face: "The two Turkic divisions stand side by side, attacking and defending each other. The longer this continues. It will be more beneficial to Great Xia. If the Western Turks were too harsh to bear, they might be killed in a battle with Bactria or be wiped out by the Eastern Turks due to a sharp decrease in their national strength. It is very knowledgeable to grasp the balance of not only weakening the Western Turks to some extent, but also retaining their strength sufficient to compete with the Eastern Turks. ”

"In the next few years, what Daxia needs most is money, food, and horses, so I focus on asking for it. Feihuhou was born in a merchant and is proficient in the way of economy. Many of the things mentioned in the peace treaty could not be produced by the Turks, but even if Bactria was unwilling to provide them. The Turks can still be obtained through civil means. The border between the two countries is long, and there is no way to stop it. It is better to set up a trade market and let the Great Xia court earn this money. By refusing to provide medical officers and peasant craftsmen, the Turks were never able to get rid of their dependence on Bactria . ”

He promised to help Prince Soli ascend to the throne and agreed to send troops as invited. It's also a must. In this way, the Turkic two tribes were strong and weak, and Great Xia became the key force to control the situation. It can be said that it is beneficial but not costly, so why not? ”

The emperor couldn't help but pat the case and praised: "Then asking for the land to be leased again is even more a stroke of genius!" Not only does Great Xia justifiably have a strategic buffer zone, but it also leaves a magnificent excuse for my future generations to wage war against the Turks at any time when the national strength allows! ”

Wang Yunong said meaningfully: "The Flying Tiger Marquis doesn't care about who he is. Not only does the prince need to observe carefully, but even the old minister's age has benefited a lot from it! ”

He is a hardcore old minister who is loyal to the emperor, and he doesn't want to see the scene of the abolition of the prince in the future, and this is deliberately said to the prince: You should put more of your mind on the right path and less on the crooked place!

"Yang Zhi's peace treaty has set an example of peace for thousands of generations in Great Xia, and I want to invite this guy to drink!" The emperor forgot and said, "I must invite this guy to drink!" Just the two of me and him, drink him and get drunk! ”

The prince thought sourly: If Daxia and the Turks were reversed this time and still the same as before, would you still think that they were "models of peace"? If it's so perfect, isn't it a little too stingy for you to just invite him for a drink? Is there still less wine to drink in that house?

But Yang Zhi is not thinking about drinking with the emperor now, counting the countdown to the last few days of his wedding wedding, he is thinking about his own wedding wine. After paying the order, I was relaxed and returned to my new home where I had moved.

After a long distance, I saw Ah Fu looking into the house like a thief, and sometimes stretching his neck to look at the road outside the house. stepped forward and asked, "Ah Fu, what are you doing?" You took the wrong medicine at your own doorstep? ”

Ah Fu was like seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva who was compassionate and compassionate, and said with a bitter face: "Young Master, you can be regarded as back!" It's nothing that I took the wrong medicine, the young grandmother and the county lord have been tossing in the mansion for two days in a row, if you don't come back, maybe you will die! ”
