On a small plain northwest of Linhuang Fucheng, the Song and Jin countries were engaged in a crucial negotiation, and the envoy of the Jin State said loudly with excitement: "This is impossible, it is absolutely impossible for us to agree to such conditions!" ”

"Nothing is impossible, if Jin Guo doesn't even have such sincerity, then there is nothing to talk about on both sides, you go back and wait for our army!" As an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Qi is also very tough, Wang Qi is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and he is currently a member of the Ministry of Rites, and this time he was appointed by the imperial court as an envoy to contact the Jin State, and he can take on such an important task at this age, and his future in the future is also unlimited.

"The territory of our Jin Kingdom is already very small, even only a few tenths of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, why does the Great Song Dynasty still let us cede our own land, and the mountains in Sanlongling are precipitous, and they are uninhabitable at all, even if they are ceded to you, it is useless!" When the envoy of the Jin State heard Wang Qi's threat of sending troops, he immediately softened, and even spoke in a tone that was a little pleading.

The envoy of the Jin State is surnamed Xiao Mingjie, Xiao Jie is not a Jurchen, in fact, he is the same as Yelu Nuzhang is a native of Liao, born in the Xiao family of the Liao State, but belongs to the branch of the Xiao family, and is not very valued, and was later moved by Yelu Nuzhang, so he surrendered to the Jin State with the other party, and this time he was appointed as the envoy of the Jin State to negotiate with the Great Song Dynasty, but Xiao Jie is now a little regretful, he knew that the Great Song Dynasty was so difficult, and he was not willing to be this envoy if he was killed.

"Envoy Xiao, this is not a matter of the size of the country, but our Great Song Dynasty needs your Jin Kingdom to show a sincerity to sue for peace, and we don't need your Jin Kingdom to completely lay down its arms, let alone ask you to reduce your army, but only to ask you to promise to cede a little land. To compensate some of our military expenditures over the years, it can be said that these conditions have been very relaxed, if you can't even agree to these conditions, then I can only doubt the sincerity of your Jin State to seek peace. Wang Qi looked at Xiao Jiedao with a sincere face at this time, he was able to sit in his current position at such a young age, except that he was admitted to the top prize at the age of twenty. Naturally, it is also inseparable from his own strength.

"But......" Xiao Jie was also a little speechless when he heard Wang Qi's words, since the negotiation began, he felt completely suppressed by the young Great Song official in front of him, sometimes he knew that the other party was talking nonsense with his eyes open, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it, which made him feel very aggrieved.

"Okay, I can report to the imperial court about the cession of Sanlongling, but I can't guarantee that my Dajin will agree to this matter, and there is also the matter of compensation. The amount you are asking for is too large, and I can't do this either, so I hope you can wait a few days. In the end, Xiao Jie said very helplessly, although he had thought that Da Song would put forward some conditions before he came, but he didn't expect these conditions to be so harsh, it was not for him to call the shots at all, and what was even worse was that Da Song's attitude was still very tough, and he didn't give him a chance to bargain at all.

"You Jin Guo are too stingy to do things. As an envoy, he didn't even have this power, and he knew that this was the case. I might as well go to the Huanglong Mansion and talk to your Emperor in person! Wang Qi was a little dissatisfied at this time, in fact, he didn't know why the imperial court wanted the Jin State to cede a barren mountain and mountains, and also proposed a huge indemnity that the Jin State could not accept, but these things had nothing to do with him, his task was to force the Jin State to accept these conditions, and as for the rest, someone would naturally deal with it.

After a day of negotiations. Xiao Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and then returned to the barracks as if he had fled, and quickly wrote down the results of today's negotiations, so that people could be sent back to Jin Country as quickly as possible, thanks to the fact that Linhuang Mansion is not far from Jin Country. Therefore, they can communicate with each other in a timely manner, otherwise if Wang Qi is also in contact with Tokyo City like him, it will take several months just to come and go.

The people sent by Xiao Jie to deliver the letter hurried overnight and quickly delivered his letter to Wu Qimai's hands, but when he saw the conditions proposed by the Great Song Dynasty for land cession and compensation, Wu Qimai was furious, and then immediately summoned Yelu Nuzhang to the palace to discuss matters.

However, when Yelu Nuzhang saw the result of this negotiation, he laughed, and then saw him salute Wu Qimai and said, "Your Majesty, why should you be angry, in fact, it is not necessarily a bad thing for us for Da Song to put forward these conditions!" ”

"What do you mean, is it a land cut, a reparation, or a good thing? But if you look at the situation of our Jin Kingdom, if you agree to these two conditions of the Great Song Dynasty, I'm afraid you won't want to turn over in the next ten years! Wu Qimai was not angry when he heard this, but fortunately it was Yelu Nuzhang who said so, if it was another person, I am afraid that he would have asked people to pull him out and cut him down.

"Your Majesty, of course it is not a good thing to pay compensation for land cession, but behind this matter it represents the will of the Great Song Dynasty, if you think about it carefully, the Great Song Dynasty proposed such compensation, although it is very difficult for us, but after bargaining, it is not unacceptable, so I think that the Great Song Dynasty put forward such a condition, which is exactly the manifestation of their desire to negotiate peace with us, on the contrary, they are likely to put forward a condition that we cannot accept, such as making us a subject of the Great Song Dynasty, and then Your Majesty can only be called the king and not the emperor." I saw Yelu Nuzhang analyze with a smile on his face at this time.

After listening to Yelu Nuzhang's analysis, Wu Qimai also showed a contemplative expression, and after a long while, he nodded and said: "There is some truth in saying this, but Da Song's request for land cession and compensation is too much, and Xiao Jie said in his letter that Da Song's attitude is very tough, and he doesn't give him room for bargaining at all, what can I do, can't we really fully agree to their conditions, right?" ”

"That's not necessary, as far as our two countries are concerned, the Great Song Dynasty must have an absolute advantage, so it is expected that their envoys' tough attitude is also expected, but it is not impossible, for example, when Xiao Jie goes to negotiate, many things cannot be decided, which also makes the Great Song Dynasty despise him very much, so I think it is possible to send a heavier person to negotiate with the Song envoys, which should allow the Great Song to reduce some compensation." Yelu Nuzhang said with a calm expression.

"Someone with heavier portions?" Wu Qimai also showed a contemplative expression when he heard this, although there were many more important ministers in the Jin Kingdom than Xiao Jie, but if he wanted to make a decision at any time during the negotiation, there were only two people, he and Yelu Nuzhang, but they could not easily leave the Jin Kingdom, which made him hesitate for a while.
