Chapter 299 Interests Are the Fundamentals of a Country
"That's for sure, I talked to you personally, shouldn't you express some sincerity?"

Emperor Liao stared at Emperor Song aggressively.

Emperor Song frowned, ceding the land north of the Yangtze River was already his biggest concession.

The loss of the land north of the Yangtze River is equivalent to losing half of the country, and the Song Dynasty can only settle in the Jiangnan area.

If the land is still to be given up, even if Song Dynasty wants to be a vassal state that dominates one side, it will not be able to do so.

But if he did not agree, Emperor Liao would definitely not help him restore his country, and all hope would be lost.

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Song finally sighed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty Liao Emperor, tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Seeing that Emperor Song had surrendered, Emperor Liao showed a satisfied smile, stroked his beard and said, "I don't need too much. In the future, after I destroy Wutian, Your Majesty Song Emperor, you will cede all the six counties north of the Yangtze River and Jiangnan to you." Our Liao Kingdom. As for the Great Song Dynasty, we can establish a country in Shu, and make offerings to our Daliao every year, and come to court every year."

Hearing Emperor Liao's condition, Emperor Song was stunned.

The six counties in the south of the Yangtze River are the most prosperous places except the Central Plains.

If he couldn't even keep this last piece of land, would he be willing to condescend to the barbaric land of Shu, and would it be different from destroying the country?
What's more, except for Chengdu, the land in Shu is barren, and offering sacrifices every year is to cut off his economic lifeline, and to come to court every year is to treat him as a slave.

Even Brother Yeluxiu felt that the conditions offered by Emperor Liao were too harsh, but he was a courtier of Daliao, and he had to put Daliao's interests first.

"What's the matter, Emperor Song, you have no way to accept the conditions I put forward?"

Emperor Liao stared at Emperor Song with a dark face.

Song Emperor pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty Liao Emperor, the conditions you proposed are, to be honest, too harsh. I absolutely cannot agree to you. I wonder if we have room for negotiation?"

Emperor Liao shook his head.

Emperor Song's heart skipped a beat, his complexion became more solemn, and his eyes rolled quickly.

Suddenly, Emperor Song thought of a way and said: "Emperor Liao, what do you think of this? You leave the six counties in the south of the Yangtze River to me to establish the Great Song Kingdom. After I establish the country, I will devote all my strength in the south of the Yangtze River to help you destroy the Bohai Kingdom and Xixia. The sum of these two pieces of land is larger than the six counties in the south of the Yangtze River. In the future, His Majesty Daliao can use the Bohai Kingdom as a springboard to directly attack the Koryo Kingdom.

Speaking of this, Emperor Song quietly checked the expression of Emperor Liao.

Emperor Liao was immersed in the Wang Tuba industry described by Emperor Song, with a complacent look on his face.

Emperor Song secretly laughed in his heart, knowing that Emperor Liao was moved by his words.

Whether it is Xixia, Bohai, or even Wa, it is not his land, even if it is taken by Liao, so what?
Emperor Liao came back to his senses, stared at Emperor Song, and nodded: "Your Majesty Song Emperor, what you said just now is indeed very tempting, but Japan and I are allies, and it may not be justified to attack him."

Emperor Song smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty Liao, there are no permanent allies in this world, only permanent interests. As long as the interests match, the enemy can be transformed into an ally. As long as the interests are contrary to each other, even the best allies will become an enemy."

Emperor Liao was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "His Majesty Song Emperor is right, interests are the foundation of a country. Well, the agreement between us has been reached in this way."

Emperor Song and Brother Yeluxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

When I returned to Marshal’s Mansion that night, Brother Yeluxiu had just sat down when a soldier came in and knelt in front of him, cupped his hands and said, “Marshal, there is a man named Daoist Duobao outside, who said that Patriarch Xuedao invited him here. See you, Generalissimo."
