The night was like ink, and Wanyan Zonghan led 100,000 remnants of the defeated army to escape from the northern gate of Yanjing in a hurry. Their steps were hurried and flustered, hoping to escape from what had become a hell as soon as possible.

Suddenly, there was dust in front of him, and the army led by Wang Zaixing appeared in view. Wanyan Zonghan's heart sank, and the secret way was not good, he thought that this time it was a catastrophe.

However, to his surprise, Wang Zaixing's army did not pursue with all its might. They only symbolically fired a few arrows, and then stopped attacking. Wanyan Zonghan took the opportunity to lead the remnants of the army to flee to Yanmen Pass.

"It seems that Zhao Yingluo doesn't want to kill them all." Wanyan Zonghan thought secretly in his heart, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. Although the escape was embarrassing, at least his life was saved.

On the other hand, Wang Zaixing also followed Zhao Yingluo's instructions and did not chase after him. He stood where he was, watching the remnants of Yan Zonghan's soldiers drift away.

"The princess is indeed a visionary." Wang Zaixing secretly praised in his heart, and then ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp.

Wanyan Zongyi heard Zhao Yingluo's promise, and a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes. He is well aware of the importance of this commitment for peace and stability between the two countries: "I am deeply grated, Your Highness the Princess, with your commitment. I believe that under your leadership, Dasong and Dajin will be able to work together to create a better future. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Yingluo showed a satisfied smile: "This is a matter of course." We, the Great Song Dynasty, have always adhered to a foreign policy of peace and friendship and respected the cultures and traditions of all ethnic groups. Your rights and interests in this land will be fully protected. ”

Yue Fei and others also expressed their support for Zhao Yingluo's position.

In Yanjing City, the people cheered, and the streets were lit up with lights, celebrating the return of this ancient capital to the embrace of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Wanyan Zongyi nodded and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you princess for your understanding and support." I believe that under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, Yanjing and the southern region will be more prosperous. ”

"General Wanyan, Yanjing is certainly important to the Dajin Kingdom, but now that the situation has changed, should we consider a more realistic plan?" Zhao Yingluo tried to convince people with reason.

Wanyan Zongyi smiled slightly: "What the princess said is extremely true. But Yanjing, as a symbol of the Great Golden Kingdom, means a lot to us. I hope to be able to continue to keep the flame of Dajin Kingdom alive here. ”

Zhao Yingluo nodded and expressed understanding: "Of course, this is a major matter, and it should be discussed with the leaders of the various tribes. I await your reply. ”

After cleaning up the mess after the Yanjing War, Zhao Yingluo sat in the splendid Jin Imperial Palace, discussing with the generals the disposal of the post-war territory. The palace was brightly lit, and the generals sat around and expressed their opinions.

Wanyan Zongyi shook his head: "I understand the feelings of the generals, but Yanjing is too important to the Dajin Kingdom. I'm willing to trade the area south of Yenching in exchange, and that's the biggest concession I can make. ”

Zhao Yingluo took a deep breath, she knew that this negotiation was not easy. She has to weigh the pros and cons to make the most informed decision.

In the days that followed, Wanyan Zongyi had close discussions with the leaders of the various tribes. They discussed the ownership of Yanjing and the region to the south, and the atmosphere was tense and intense. Everyone knows that a decision on this issue will have a profound impact on the future of Daikin.

"Yanjing is the capital of the Dajin Kingdom, so it should naturally continue to be the political center of the Dajin Kingdom." Wanyan Zongyi said calmly, looking directly at Zhao Yingluo.

After being occupied by the Liao and Jin kingdoms for more than 200 years, Yanjing finally fluttered the banner of the Central Plains Dynasty again, and this historic moment filled Zhao Yingluo's heart with excitement and pride.

Wanyan Zongyi stood up and saluted Zhao Yingluo: "Thank you princess for your understanding." I will consult with the chiefs of the tribes as soon as possible and give you an answer. ”

Zhao Yingluo frowned slightly, she felt the deep meaning in Yan Zongyi's words: "What about Yanjing?" ”

In this way, with the joint efforts of both sides, Yanjing and the southern regions finally returned peacefully to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Yingluo and Wanyan Zongyi also established a deep friendship and mutual trust relationship because of this negotiation, which laid a solid foundation for the peaceful coexistence of the two countries.

Wanyan Zongyi took a deep breath and tried his best to sound calm: "What the princess said is extremely true, the kindness of the Great Song Dynasty to me, I Wanyan Zongyi remembers. However, Yanjing and the region south of it are also extremely important to our country, and it is related to the dignity and interests of the country. I will have to consult with the tribal leaders before making a decision. ”

Zhao Yingluo sat on the throne of the palace, looked at Wanyan Zongyi with a firm gaze, and said in a serious and sincere tone: "General Wanyan, you were chased and killed by Wanyan Zonghan at the beginning, and there was no way to escape, it was the Great Song Dynasty that gave you shelter. Now, we have defeated Wanyan Zonghan together, giving you the opportunity to ascend to the throne, and behind this is also the great help of the Great Song Dynasty. It is reasonable that the Great Song Dynasty should recover Yanjing and the areas south of it. ”

After several days of intense discussions, Wanyan Zongyi finally came to Zhao Yingluo with the opinions of the leaders of various tribes. His face was still not very good-looking, but his tone had softened significantly: "Princess, after our discussion, we have agreed to return Yanjing and the southern region to the Great Song Dynasty. However, we hope that the Great Song Dynasty will respect our culture and traditions and guarantee the rights and interests of our tribes in this land. ”

And Zhao Yingluo was not idle, she was paying attention to the progress of Wanyan Zongyi's discussions with the leaders of various tribes, and at the same time strengthening the defense and governance of Yanjing and the areas south of it. She understands that no matter what the outcome, she is responsible for the people of the land.

Zhao Yingluo's heart sank, she originally hoped to fully recover Yanjing and its surrounding areas, and completely incorporate this land into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Princess, I think that the area south of Yanjing can be classified as the Great Song Dynasty." Wanyan Zongyi said in a deep voice, "This can be used as a reward for the Great Song Dynasty to help me ascend the throne." ”

Zhao Yingluo smiled and nodded, her eyes revealing firmness and sincerity: "General Wanyan, I promise you that in the future, the Great Song Dynasty and the Dajin Kingdom will live in peace, non-aggression with each other, and common prosperity." ”

After speaking, Wanyan Zongyi turned around and left, leaving Zhao Yingluo to sit alone on the throne and ponder. She knew that the negotiations were not over, and that the real battle had just begun.

Wanyan Zongyi listened to Zhao Yingluo's words, and his face gradually became gloomy. He knew that what Zhao Yingluo said was the truth, but this did not mean that he was willing to give up the important territory of Yanjing easily. However, he is also aware of the current situation, the strength of the Great Song should not be underestimated, and they are indeed kind to themselves.

However, Wanyan Zongyi's proposal made her realize that things were not so simple.

However, in this celebratory atmosphere, Wanyan Zongyi's words were like a stone pressing on Zhao Yingluo's heart, making her unhappy.

Han Shizhong said even more bluntly: "General Wanyan, this Yanjing is the sacrifice of countless soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty, why not adapt to the times and let Yanjing and its surrounding areas belong to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"It's our common goal." "History has proven that war only brings suffering and destruction, and that peace and cooperation are the right path to national prosperity and people's happiness. ”

Wanyan Zongyi nodded in agreement: "What the princess said is extremely true. We should cherish this hard-won peace and work together to create a better life for the people of the two countries. ”

"Exactly." "In order to consolidate this peace, I suggest that the two sides can hold regular talks to strengthen exchanges and cooperation and jointly resolve issues that may arise. ”
