The best way to do this is to convince most of them to your own advantage. This will take time.

Now that Wen Xing is here, Zhang Ao's order is to take advantage of the peace talks to launch an all-out attack for his army and make a buffer.

To put it bluntly, the current Dragon Empire also needs time.

It is precisely because both sides need time that this time has been the result of this peace talks, otherwise, Su Shi is really ready, you see if he is a bullshit messenger.

Su Shi has always believed that only when a country is strong can it have so-called diplomacy and the right to speak.

On the other hand, if you are too weak, even if you want to be a grandson to others, that person will accept you and will not treat you as a grandson.

Thinking of the remarks of later generations, there is a saying that the first-class officials, the second-class foreigners, the third-class foreigners, and the few fourth-class Hans, Su Shi is angry, he wants to change all this, he wants to make Han a real first-class, a first-class recognized by all races in the world.

If anyone doesn't approve of it, hehe, it's simple, just extinguish it.

When you are strong enough, and it is tenfold, ten, ten, or even more than the other side, it is a waste of time to negotiate again.

Wen Xing felt that Zhang Ao's attitude towards him was a little arrogant, but he was not angry. The other party is willing to talk to himself, that is a good thing, what he is afraid of is that the other party does not talk to him, if this is the case, then there is really no hope at all, that is the real failure.

The envoy team entered the city, and then in the courtyard that had been cleaned up a long time ago, Zhang Ao and Wen Xing sat opposite each other.

This kind of negotiation method that does not give the other party a chance to rest makes Wen Xing a little uncomfortable, but thinking of the heavy responsibility on his body, he still agrees. And as soon as they met, he made some requests.

The dragon army must release the prisoners of war and the magnates who had been captured when the city of Liaoyang in Tokyo was captured.

At the same time, the dragon army needed to withdraw its troops from the five prefectures of Jinzhou, Xianzhou, Xizhou, Shenzhou and Guizhou, and return the city to the Liao state.

As a condition, the Liao State can recognize that the Dragon Empire has actual control over the Liaoyang City in Tokyo (i.e., it is equivalent to recognizing that the Liaoyang City is temporarily owned by the Dragon Empire), including the previously captured cities of Laiyuan, and the Liao State can also be classified as owned by the Dragon Empire. Look at the book

And when an agreement was reached, it was when the Liao State recognized the legitimate identity of the Dragon Empire. This also includes the fact that Goryeo fell and the Dragon Empire took its place.

Wen Xing was able to say this, which was really a big concession.

Don't say it, just because the Liao State recognized the legal identity of the Dragon Empire, and recognized the cities of Liaoyang and Laiyuan for the use of the Dragon Empire, which required a lot of courage. In a certain respect, it can be said that the Liao State allocated territory to the Dragon Empire.

This is an act of land cession and betrayal of the country.

This kind of practice is almost unimaginable in later generations. Because even if you have this kind of strength, other countries will not recognize this agreement. Especially a group of Western countries led by beautiful countries, they will stand up and intervene under the guise of the United Nations, and then they will charge you for war crimes and give you all kinds of sanctions.

In the current world, there is no need to scruple so much, there is no so-called international police, if you really want to say that there is, then Su Shi is.

Wen Xing put forward his own conditions, but in Zhang Ao's ears, it made his face turn blue and ugly, and as soon as the other party finished speaking, he became angry.

Of course, whether he is really angry, or is he doing it for Wen Xing to see, then as long as he knows it himself.

"This is impossible, Jinzhou and other five states were taken by the soldiers of the Dragon Army with their blood, and they will not agree to hand it over like this. If this official does this, the dragon army is afraid that he will soon come to the door, even our Dragon First Emperor will not dare to do such a thing, so don't talk about it."

"As for what Envoy Wen said about asking the magnates of Liaoyang City, this cannot be done. Without it, the magnates would have been killed. Oh, by the way, there is still one Yelu Zhiwei who has contributed to the city, you can take him away, and we will not stop him."

When Zhang Ao mentioned Yelu Zhiwei's name, Wen Xing's face was obviously a little ugly.

Obviously, this matter is not a secret, and the dragon army has no intention of hiding it

Think, now that the Liao State already knows, I don't know how many people hate Yelu Zhiwei, even if this person is put back, he will have to hemorrhage or save his life.

The city will not be handed over, and the people will be killed and cannot be released again, which is equivalent to vetoing Wen Xing's proposal, which makes him a little angry. "Lord Zhang, our Liao Kingdom respects the First Emperor of the Dragon and has made concessions, but it seems that you don't seem to appreciate it, even if this is the case, then please put forward conditions to see if we can reach an agreement."

Wen Xing can see that Zhang Ao will not agree to his request, even if this is the case, he really wants to see what kind of conditions the other party will propose, which is also an important way for him to solve the attitude of the Dragon Empire.

"Haha, the Wen envoy is happy, that's the case, this official said." Zhang Ao seemed to have been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and there was a smile on his face at this time.

"You're welcome, Lord Zhang, please speak." Wen Xing said with a polite appearance at this time, which was very similar to the appearance of Zhao Song when he negotiated with their Liao State.

Very satisfied with Wen Xing's attitude at this time, Zhang Ao opened his mouth with a smile, but the words he said did make the other party's whole body chill.

"The war between the Dragon Empire and the Liao State was unilaterally caused by the Liao State, and it was Li Xiu who instigated Wang Hui and others in Jinzhou first, followed by the Liao State to prepare to send a large army, and the Dragon Empire had to fight back. But even so, when outside Liaoyang City, the Long Army did not intend to take the initiative to attack, but built watchtowers, and it was the Liao Army that took the initiative to attack, killing and injuring the soldiers of the Long Army, which led to the next big battle."

"From this point of view, it is completely unreasonable for the Liao State to be the first, and now that the two sides want to negotiate peace, of course the Liao State will compensate the Dragon Empire for its losses, this is not wrong, right?" When Zhang Ao said this, he still squinted his eyes and looked at Wen Xing with a smile on his face.

Wen Xing had 10,000 mud horses flying over in his heart, how could it become the unreasonable first of the Liao Kingdom?

If Su Shi hadn't come to Goryeo through the road, where would there be these things now?

Now that the Dragon Empire has annexed Goryeo, it is still accusing the Liao State of being unreasonable, which is obviously crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Naturally, he disagreed with this statement in his heart, but Wen Xing did not refute it in person, he was negotiating at this time, if he quarreled now, then how would the next thing go, he also wanted to see what Zhang Ao would say next.

Wen Xing did not object, this is tantamount to acquiescence, Zhang Ao said with a smile, "Since the war was provoked by your side, and now you want peace talks, our Majesty is also a peace-loving person, in principle, we can agree, but it is also necessary to have compensation." Then so be it, since it was you who took the initiative to ask for a truce, you will pay 50 cities and 10 million pieces of silver, by the way, our majesty still needs one more person, a man named Yelu Angkor, this person has been disrespectful to the queen of our Dragon Empire, and even cruelly killed the queen's master, this person must pay the price for what he did."

At this moment, Wen Xing's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.

What is Su Shi is a peace-loving person, this kind of words, whoever believes it is a fool.

Also, they lost 50 cities and 10 million pieces of silver, and at the same time they had to hand over the royal family of their Liao State. If you want to talk about negotiations, first the lion opened his mouth widely, and then bargained, which is not wrong, but the Dragon Empire is not too open.

is this kind of condition, if it is known to those old men in the capital, it is strange that they all agree.

Seeing that Wen Xing's face was getting darker and darker, Zhang Ao said disapprovingly: "This is what our Majesty and the millions of soldiers mean, considering that the Dragon Empire and the Liao State are friendly neighbors, we can consider giving you a month, after a month, if you can't give us a satisfactory answer, then I'm sorry, all the losses caused by the Liao State will be borne by the Liao State."

"Hey, I, the chief diplomat, am a hard worker, and there are too many things for me to do, so I will not accompany you, come here, take good care of the Wen envoy and his party." After the request was finished, Zhang Ao raised his ass and left, not even giving Wen Xing a chance to bargain.

Zhang Ao left like this, leaving Wen Xing with a bitter face.

Before he came, he knew that this mission would not be so easy to complete, but he didn't

I thought it would be so difficult to finish.

Everything the Dragon Empire wanted, it was impossible for the Liao State to agree to it at all. Even if he knows that the other party is a lion with a big mouth, but in the face of such an unreasonable request, even if he wants to bargain, I am afraid that the result will not be satisfactory to the other party.

In the final analysis, the bottom line gap between the two sides is too big, so big that it is not for him Wen Xing to call the shots.

After seeing Zhang Ao leave, Wen Xing turned around and walked towards the study behind him, and soon he wrote down the things here into a book, and sent them to Shangjing at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

......

Liao, the national capital, the capital.

There was no delay along the way, and it was delivered to the palace in less than two days.

Liao Xingzong was so angry that he became seriously ill and was now unable to govern, as the temporary supervisor Yelu Hongji did not discuss with the courtiers in the main hall, but chose to work in the side hall.

After Wen Xing's rush was delivered, it was getting late, but after reading the contents inside, Yelu Hongji still ordered to summon the ministers to discuss the matter, which was really a big matter and could not tolerate the slightest delay.

After the rush was passed one by one by the ministers, it soon attracted bursts of scolding.

Some people say that Su Shi's appetite is too big, and he simply can't do it.

Some people say that Su Shi has no intention of peace talks at all, and is completely aggressive.

Others, just shouting for war. I think that since the establishment of their Liao Kingdom, they have bullied others, when have they been bullied like this by others?
