Chapter 2931 Traitor Treaty
Tong Guan and Gao Qiu didn't care about Liang Zhongshu's difficulties, and now they only wanted to destroy Song Gongming and the others.

Gao Qiu was the villain, and beat Liang Zhongshu, "Master Liang, it's not that we don't help you, it's a holy will. No matter what method you use now, you must send troops to Gaotang Prefecture to fight against the bandits within three days. After all, they are some barbarians, what they want is gold and silver. But what the thieves want is the world of our Song Dynasty. If the thieves succeed, we will all go to the guillotine.”

Liang Zhongshu didn't dare to refute, nodded and bowed again and again, "This subordinate understands, and this subordinate will definitely follow suit, and will never let the two adults down."

After he told the business, he clapped his hands and asked someone to bring in boxes of things.

The box was opened, and it was full of golden coins.

Gao Qiu's eyes were bright, and he snorted greedily and said, "Master Liang, what are you doing?"

Tong Guan straightened his body and said with a straight face, "Master Liang, who do you think we are? Your father-in-law also has friendship with us, and we are all his own people. Isn't it too strange for you to do this?"

"The subordinates just saw that the two adults are working hard for the state affairs, and specially express their condolences to the two adults on behalf of the people of the Daming Mansion. This is just a small gift, not a respect."

Liang Zhongshu nodded and bowed his promise, but he scolded both of them in his heart.

Both Tong Guan and Gao Qiu were very satisfied, and waved their hands to tell him, "Okay, we're tired after rushing all the way. You are so kind to share your majesty's worries, and we will definitely report the situation here to the emperor."

"understand!"

Liang Zhongshu bowed to leave, wiped off his cold sweat after going out, and immediately asked his subordinates to notify the envoys of the North Liao Kingdom to come.

This time, he intends to make a quick decision.

No matter what conditions Bei Liao opened, he just needs to satisfy them all.

In the main meeting hall, Bei Liao's envoy sat proudly on the negotiating table again.

This time, their prince Yeluhan also came in person.

After Liang Zhongshu came in, he saw a young man sitting in the middle, so he raised his eyebrows and sat down opposite him.

The Bei Liao envoy immediately introduced, "Lord Liang, this is our little prince of Bei Liao Kingdom, Yeluhan. Today, he will personally negotiate with you."

Liang Zhongshu felt contemptuous, just nodded lightly and said, "Understood, then let's go straight to the topic. After discussing with the imperial court, I agree with your conditions and transport all the supplies you need to outside the customs within one month You also have to sign a peace covenant with us, guaranteeing that you will not use a single soldier against our Great Song Dynasty within ten years. We can guarantee that we will provide you with the same material every year to support you through the winter."

The corners of Yeluhan's mouth curled up, he took a sip of tea, and said calmly to Liang Zhongshu, "Master Liang, I think you have misremembered. This condition was last time, and we haven't opened this condition yet!"

Liang Zhongshu patted the table impatiently and said, "Don't push yourself too hard, this is already the greatest favor I have won for you."

Yeluhan waved his finger unhurriedly, and the envoys around him immediately got up and put a new condition in front of Liang Zhongshu.

Yeluhan said, "This is a new condition set by our country. If Master Liang satisfies us, we will immediately sign a peace covenant with you. If Master Liang cannot satisfy us, we will see each other on the battlefield."

Liang Zhongshu took the paper letter, opened it, and his eyes suddenly burst into flames.

He slapped the treaty on the table angrily and said, "Do you really think that our Great Song Dynasty can't be made of mud? Hutou Pass and Jinshan Pass, Xiyang Pass, Mawang Pass, more than a dozen large and small passes, all It is the Horn Fortress of Yanmen Pass. You actually think that we will cede all these fortresses to you?"

Yeluhan said, "Master Zhifu, since our two countries are going to sign a ten-year peace covenant, why do you still want to make such a fortress outside the pass? Are you doing this because you still want to use troops with us? We want to return to our own land, Isn't that a very normal thing?"

Liang Zhongshu said angrily, "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king? When did the land of Saibei become your land?"

Yeluhan suddenly drew out a long knife and slapped it on the table, causing the guards brought by Liang Zhongshu to immediately come in and draw out a long knife to confront Yeluhan.

Yelu coldly drank coldly, "Under the knife's edge is the king's land. You, King Song, are kings, and we, King Beiliu, are also kings. Why do you, King Song, sit on this fertile soil, and let me, King Liao, sit on the cold wilderness? Today's Conditions, if you don't agree, then we have nothing to talk about."

"Barbarians, barbarians!"

Liang Zhongshu cursed in his heart, but tried his best to maintain the demeanor of a big country on the surface.

He waved the guard down and sat down again.

These checkpoints outside the Great Wall are all important places for military strategists.

If he cedes these checkpoints, and the Beiliao people take down Yanmen Pass, it will be a matter of time.

If he disagreed, if Liaoren turned his back on him and launched a war against Yanmen Pass, even if it was a bluff, the emperor knew that he would take his head.

Liang Zhongshu said in despair, "We can't discuss any more, can I give you twice the supplies?"

Yeluhan showed a ferocious smile and said, "The meat around your mouth, you can't swallow it fast!"

Liang Zhongshu was silent for a while, then put his hands on the covenant and compromised, "I hope you can abide by the covenant, and you will not offend me in Song Dynasty for ten years!"

Yeluhan smiled in satisfaction, but did not promise anything to Liang Zhongshu.

Liang Zhongshu also knew that their appetite would not stop here.

The barbarians have a big appetite, and if they take down the stronghold outside the pass, the next step is the Daming Mansion.

However, these are irrelevant compared to his current situation.

On the second day, the two sides signed the "Daimyo Treaty" in the presence of official envoys.

In this treaty, Liang Zhongshu deliberately concealed the conditions for ceding outside the pass in the official document to the court.

As soon as the treaty was signed, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu immediately ordered the army of Daming Mansion to go south to suppress the rebellion.

Originally, only 50 soldiers and horses were prepared, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were made up by other states.

But now 100 million troops are dispatched, and the extra 50 are the soldiers who have withdrawn from outside the pass.

Tong Guan and Gao Qiu knew about this, but they kept it secret for the time being.

One is to take money from Liang Zhongshu, and the other is to suppress bandits. You can turn a blind eye to these things.

Anyway, if there are problems in the future, it is all Liang Zhongshu's own opinion and has nothing to do with them.

In this way, before the arrival of the Spring Festival, the largest troop mobilization initiated by the Daming Mansion had more than 150 million troops marching southward towards Gaotang Prefecture.

This incident undoubtedly shook the hearts of Gaotang Prefecture's army. The soldiers who were already planning to surrender will now cheer up and think about their own future affairs.

Song Gongming originally surrounded but did not fight, because he wanted to recruit the defenders in the city.

But now the situation has changed rapidly, and the defenders inside have stopped contacting them.

Song Gongming and Wu Yong discussed with the generals and decided to immediately launch a siege battle to take Gaotang Prefecture before the army went south.
