300,000 yuan of coins, and only sixty years, for this condition proposed by Yelujun, Zhao Yan thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded, but he added another condition: "I can agree to the third condition, but the 10 million guan indemnity that your Liao State compensated us must be paid off within a year, and the first payment of the indemnity cannot be less than 5 million guan!" ”

"No, a year is too short, and 10 million yuan is not a small amount, I can only pay it off in three years at the earliest, and the amount of the first repayment this year can only reach 3 million!" Jerry argued again.

"The first payment of the indemnity is at least four million, and it must be paid off within two years!" Zhao Yan bargained again and said that he didn't believe much in the credit of Liao, so the matter of compensation should be implemented as soon as possible, otherwise when Liaoguo eased up, I am afraid that the rest of the indemnity will not be returned.

"Deal!" Ye Lujun heard this and thought about it for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, although four million guan is not a small amount, he estimated the treasury and his own inner treasury, and squeezed some from other nobles in the country, which should be enough for this amount, as for the remaining amount, then he can only think of a way at that time.

The three main conditions were all negotiated, and Zhao Yan couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, but considering that Yelujun was still here, he could only endure it for a while, and then raised his glass and said to Yelujun: "Your Majesty, the conditions for withdrawing from the army have been reached, I am here to toast you, I hope that our two countries will be friendly forever in the future, and they will never start a war again!" ”

Although Zhao Yan didn't laugh out loud, seeing the way he looked at his eyebrows, Ye Lujun was even more depressed, and immediately picked up the wine glass and touched it with Zhao Yan, and then drank it all. It's just that this cup of mellow wine tastes a little bitter now, especially when he thinks that he not only wants to cede the sixteen states of Yanyun, but also has to compensate a large amount of property, which makes Yelujun extremely distressed.

At that moment, Zhao Yan and Ye Lujun drank a few more glasses, but the mood of the two was different, and the same good wine tasted completely different in their mouths. At this time, Zhao Yan suddenly thought of something again, and immediately gave another order to the guards behind him, so the other party turned around and entered the cabin, and after a while, I saw that the other party brought out a plate of steaming dishes and put them on the table, but this dish was a little strange, and the plates were all glutinous rice balls the size of a baby's fist, which were more like rice than vegetables.

"Huh?" Yelujun's expression changed when he saw the dish that had just been served. This time, Zhao Yan didn't need to speak again, only to see him take the initiative to reach out and grab a glutinous rice ball, and then taste it gently, which made the expression on his face loosen, as if to say, "Sure enough", and then ate the balls in his hand in a few bites.

Seeing Yelujun's appearance, Zhao Yan also smiled slightly, and also did not use chopsticks. Reached out and picked up a glutinous rice ball, put it in his mouth and took a bite, this glutinous rice ball looked simple. In fact, when making it is very particular, there is one of the main ingredients in it is beef and sheep pith, so this kind of meatball not only has the fragrance and sweetness of glutinous rice, but also has the fat of beef and mutton, plus the people who make this dish are very careful, so it tastes unique. It's a rare delicacy.

I saw Ye Lujun eat a few balls in a row, and then he suddenly sighed and asked Zhao Yan, "Sister Huang, is she okay with you?" ”

"Well, Si'er gave me a daughter and two sons, all three of whom are very healthy and lovely, and she likes life in the south very much. Only once in a while, I think about you brothers and sisters. Zhao Yan replied immediately, and when he mentioned Yelusi, a trace of tenderness flashed on his face.

This glutinous rice ball in front of Zhao Yan is one of the traditional festival foods of the Khitan people, every first day of the first month, the Khitan people will make this glutinous rice ball with glutinous rice and beef and sheep pith, and then throw the glutinous rice balls out in the middle of the night, and it must be an even number, so that it means that in the next year, the family will have a very smooth life.

When Yelusi was still the princess of Liao, because her mother was from a humble background, her relationship with other brothers and sisters was not very good, but Yelujun was very good to her sister, and Yelujun also liked to eat the glutinous rice balls she made, so before Zhao Yan came to Liaoguo this time, Yelusi personally made some, hoping to give it to Yelujun for him to taste, but he didn't expect Zhao Yan to have the opportunity to sit and drink with Yelujun.

Yelujun looked at these glutinous rice balls in front of him, and his heart was also quite moved, his father Yeluhongji likes beauty, so he has a lot of brothers and sisters, but among the many brothers and sisters, he only feels some sister and brother affection in Yelusi's sister, and the rest of the brothers and sisters are either jealous of themselves or flattering themselves, when getting along with them, Yelujun only feels like acting, and only when he gets along with Yelusi, he can put down the mask and show a true self, It's a pity that Yelusi was kidnapped by Zhao Yan later, which made it difficult for Yelujun to see her again, but she didn't expect that she still remembered that she liked to eat the glutinous rice balls she made.

"Sister Huang, it's okay for her to be fine, it's just that she is far away alone, except for Brother Yan, you and the three children, there are no relatives anymore, so I hope you can treat her well, don't let her be sad!" Yelujun was silent for a long time, and finally suddenly said sincerely to Zhao Yan, at this time, he was not saying these words as an emperor, but as a brother to make some requests and entrustments to Zhao Yan.

"Don't worry, Si'er is my woman, as long as I am alive, I will never let her suffer a trace of grievance!" Zhao Yan also said with a serious expression at this time, among the several women around him, Yelusi gave up her status as a princess for him and was with him regardless of any status, which also made Zhao Yan cherish Yelusi extraordinarily.

Next, Yelujun asked Yelusi about his usual life, and Zhao Yan also answered them one by one. Seeing that Zhao Yan also flashed a gentle smile on his face from time to time when he mentioned Yelusi's mother and son, and he was also very familiar with the life of their mother and son, it can be judged that Zhao Yan is indeed very fond of Yelusi, which also made Yelujun finally put his mind at ease.

After the business and private matters were discussed, it was not early at this time, so Yelujun and Zhao Yan took their leave, and the two returned to their respective ships, and agreed to send the following people tomorrow to continue to discuss the specific conditions for the withdrawal of the army, after all, although they negotiated three approximate conditions, it was not easy to complete these three conditions, and the following people needed to discuss the detailed matters, which was the most time-consuming.

Just when the two boats separated, Zhao Yan, who was standing at the bow of the boat, suddenly said to Yelujun: "Si'er asked me to bring you a lot of gifts, but there are too many gifts, and my ship is too small to fit at all, so when I go back, I will have someone send it to you." ”

Yelu Jun also nodded when he heard this, and then said, "It just so happens that I also have some gifts for the imperial sister, so let your people take them back with you then!" ”

After returning to the barracks, Yang Huaiyu and Hu Yanping's generals all surrounded and asked Zhao Yan about the results of the negotiation between Zhao Yan and Yelujun, Zhao Yan smiled and told the three conditions he had negotiated with Yelujun, which made Yang Huaiyu and others very excited, originally they thought that they could make Liao pay a sum of money, and let the other party recognize the rule of the Great Song Dynasty over the sixteen states of Yanyun, but they didn't expect Zhao Yan to force the other party to pay the New Year's coin to the Great Song Dynasty every year, which made them Song people angry.

In the next few days, Zhao Yan sent several envoys to the Luan River by boat, and the envoys sent by the Liao State had a consultation, these envoys are all masters of ripping, and they can talk about a big problem for a long time, so the negotiation process is also very slow, and finally Zhao Yan and Yelujun are a little impatient, and after urging these envoys many times, they finally got the specific plan for this peace negotiation half a month later, although there are some differences with the three conditions discussed by Zhao Yan and Yelujun before, but in general, it is still supplemented on the basis of the three conditions, For example, the Liao State offered to let the Great Song release the army of Yelu Renxian, who had been captured earlier, but they would have to pay an extra 1 million guan and other similar treaties for this.

For this specific plan, Zhao Yan and Ye Lujun did not change again, so they chose a sunny morning, the two came to the Luan River by boat to meet again, and then signed their names on the two identical peace plans face to face, and stamped their own big seals, although Zhao Yan was only a prince, but he had already been instructed by Zhao Ji before, and he could sign any agreement on behalf of Zhao Ji.

After the peace plan was signed, Zhao Yan and Yelujun picked up the wine glass again, then worshiped the heavens and the earth, ghosts and gods, and finally drank three cups again, which was considered to have completed the whole ceremony, and the two sides retreated to both sides of the Luan River, Yelujun sent the compensation that had been prepared before, and then Zhao Yan led the army to leave the south bank of the Luan River and retreat to Bei'an City.

However, Zhao Yan did not stay in Bei'an City for too long, because according to the peace agreement, Bei'an City also belonged to the Liao State, so Zhao Yan and they only rested in the city for a few days, and then led the army south again to Gubeikou, but after they left, the population of the entire Bei'an City was all transferred to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty by the army, leaving only an empty city for the Liao army.

With Zhao Yan's Great Song Dynasty returned to Gubeikou, the Great Song Dynasty's military operation to attack the Liao State to recover Yanyun finally came to an end, and the war ended with the complete victory of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State not only lost the land of Yanyun, but also was wiped out by the Song army A large number of elite divisions, especially the entire army of Yelu Renxian's army, although many prisoners of war were later released, but they are all descendants of Yelu Renxian, I am afraid that Yelu Jun will not put them in the army again.

After Zhao Yan returned to Gubeikou, he immediately began to strengthen the defense force of the entire Great Wall defense line to ensure the safety of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but at this time, a team of envoys galloped from the capital. (To be continued......)
