Although the Dragon Army attacks, they are invincible and invincible, but in fact, the use of their troops is already stretched thin.

Just like the rear of the Dragon Empire, there are no regular troops at all. There are only some auxiliary soldiers maintaining order, and even these people have just been recruited, and their combat capabilities are very limited.

That is to say, Su Shi's back is close to the sea, and Fusang was hit hard a while ago, so that they dare not act rashly. Otherwise, Su Shi really wouldn't be able to mobilize so many troops to the front line.

The battle line was stretched and there was a serious shortage of troops, which restricted Su Shi's progress.

Now that there is an opportunity for a truce, Su Shi needs to seize this opportunity to consolidate his strength.

As soon as September comes, the weather in the Northeast has started to get colder, which is not suitable for large armies to dispatch.

Secondly, Su Shi also wanted to see the dog-eating-dog relationship between uncle and nephew Yelu Hongji and Yelu Zhongyuan.

This kind of move that can weaken the strength of the Liao Kingdom is not helping Su Shi fight in disguise?

With this idea, Su Shi decided to cease fighting for a period of time in order to make more preparations.This was the scene of Zhang Xi's warm reception.

Su Shi wanted to take the opportunity to rest and cease the war, but he would not want less of the benefits that he should have.

Fu Bi and others have already analyzed that the Liao Kingdom is extremely eager to pray for peace this time. In other words, unless they go too far, the other party will generally agree to the conditions. Even so, why don't you open your mouth? Make a request of your own?

Zhang Xi's enthusiasm always made Wen Xing feel like he was walking into a tiger's mouth.

But he didn't dare to leave. This time he was going to be slaughtered. He just hoped in his heart that the Dragon Empire wouldn't be too cruel.

Is Mr. Zhang ruthless?

Let’s first look at the five conditions he proposed.

First, trade between the two countries is allowed, but Dragon Empire products enjoy tax-free rights when entering the Liao Kingdom.

Second, recognize the dominance of the Dragon Empire over the territory it currently occupies.

Third, the compensation is tens of millions of silver and [-] war horses.

Fourth, within the territory of the Liao Kingdom, if there are Han people or Liao people who want to cross the border into the Dragon Empire, they must not be blocked in any way.

Fifth, hand over Yelu Angkor and let it be dealt with by the Dragon Empire.

He opened his mouth with five requests, and Wen Xing's face instantly turned green.

It's not like he didn't expect Su Shi to open his mouth, but he didn't expect that he would offer such excessive conditions.

You can't collect taxes on trade. This is giving money to the Dragon Empire.

Recognizing the dominance of the territory is equivalent to recognizing the justice of the previous Dragon Empire war.

To pay tens of millions of dollars is to cut off the Liao Kingdom.

Allowing people to cross the border means hollowing out one's own performance.

As for the last one, Wen Xing simply ignored it.A villain like Yelu Angkor would have no psychological burden at all when handed over.

"Director Zhang, is this going too far?" Wen Xing said, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Is it too much? Oh, if Ambassador Wen thinks so, then even if you go back, we will not force anyone." Zhang Yi still had a smile on his face.

What's wrong with going too far?

Could it be that what the Liao Kingdom did to Zhao and Song in the past was not excessive?

Now it's just a matter of paying it back to him in his own way.

As a member of the Han people, Zhang Chang didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. On the contrary, he felt that after doing this, he felt very happy.

If you don't agree, go back. Zhang Yi has no intention of negotiating at all.

After Wen Xing knew what the other party meant, he knew that he had to agree to these five conditions, or agree to them even if he didn't.

unless...

Unless the Liao Kingdom wants to start a war on both sides, it can only choose to bow its head now.

Yelu Hongji told him when he came that the Liao Kingdom could only concentrate its strength to solve one problem first.And the only one who has to solve this problem is Yelu Chongyuan.

Without it, Yelu Zhongyuan is a traitor, and his current strength is not strong. The more this happens, the less time he can give the other party to develop.Otherwise, once he grows in size and strength, it will become very difficult to eliminate him.

This is not the case with the Dragon Empire. They have already been a country. Whether you admit it or not, they have sovereignty.

Moreover, the Dragon Army is very good at fighting. Facts have proved that no one has taken advantage of anyone who goes to war with the Dragon Army.

If you want to deal with the Dragon Empire, you can only do it slowly and hope to win with strength, and this is by no means something that can be solved quickly.

Therefore, the conclusion is that they must reach peace talks with the Dragon Empire no matter what. Otherwise, they will not be able to buy enough time to solve their internal problems and become stronger again.

Yu let out a long sigh in his heart, and Wen Xing knew that he could only bow his head.

"Okay, Chief Zhang, you are going to win. Regarding the five conditions you proposed, I have agreed on behalf of our Emperor Liao."

Even if they don't agree, it's better to be happy and stabilize the relationship with the Dragon Empire directly. In this way, they can send troops to Yelu Zhongyuan earlier to resolve the civil strife.

"Haha, Ambassador Wen is indeed a man who knows the time and things. It's good." Zhang Xi burst out laughing.

......

Zhongjing.

After Yelu Chongyuan arrived here, he was warmly welcomed by the local ruler Sun.

Sun is Yelu Zhongyuan's in-law and has always been under his care.Now that he wants to establish himself as king, the Sun family naturally welcomes him very much.

Yelu Chongyuan, who received the support of the Sun family, quickly stabilized his position, and with the support of his civil and military personnel, he proclaimed himself the Khitan Emperor, calling himself Liao Wuzong, and changed his name to Yuan Changqi.

After Wuzong of the Liao Dynasty won Zhongjing and proclaimed himself emperor, the first thing he had to consider was what to do if his nephew Yelu Hongji, who was already the Daozong of the Liao Dynasty, came to attack him.

For this reason, he also took action quickly.

First, Yelu Qingde was sent to negotiate with Adamu, who had already entered the western border of the Liao Kingdom.

Second, ease the relationship with Zhao Song and make certain sacrifices when necessary to gain support from the other party.

Third, mobilize the army and be ready for a battle at any time if the Liao army comes.

Let’s talk about the first point first. Adamu leads one hundred thousand Mongolian riders. This is definitely a force that cannot be underestimated.

Mongolians are good at fighting, especially riding.

Such an opponent cannot be underestimated even when the Liao Kingdom was still very powerful, not to mention that the current Khitan is only a quarter of the strength of the original Liao Kingdom. If they really fight, I am afraid they will not be their opponents.

Considering that we can't be enemies with them, we can only choose to be friends with them.

Anyway, Adamu came here at the invitation of the Liao people. Although Yelu Chongyuan was the Khitan emperor, he was also a part of the Liao people and could represent the Liao people.

The purpose of sending Yelu Qingde was to convince Adamu to use him, and for this, they were willing to pay a sufficient price.

After Yelu Qingde got the order, he personally led a thousand cavalry to the west and found Adamu who had just entered the Liao territory and was still a little confused.

Adamu was indeed a little confused.

It was obvious that he was invited by the Liao Kingdom to help fight against the Dragon Empire.But before Keren could reach the battlefield, there was civil strife in the Liao Kingdom.

The current Liao Kingdom has been divided into three parts.Among them, Liao Daozong occupied two-quarters, Yelu Chongyuan occupied one-quarter, and the remaining one-quarter was occupied by Su Shi of the Dragon Empire.

The powerful Liao Kingdom fell apart, and Adam saw an opportunity for the Mongols to expand.But at the same time, he would not take action easily before he understood the situation, so he stayed stationed until he saw Yelu Qingde.

Adamu, who had no idea, chose to meet Yelu Qingde, and the two parties even had a pleasant chat.

Especially when he saw the ten carriages of gold and silver gifts that came with Yelu Qingde, Adamu smiled so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.

But when Yelu Qingde invited Adamu's army to fight with Liao Wuzong against Liao Daozong, he refused with a smile.

"General Qingde, I feel the sincerity of Liao Wuzong, but this cannot make us enemies of Liao Daozong. In any case, we can appear here because we are invited by the other party. Now we are sending troops to deal with them. It’s unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally.”

"Of course, for the sake of our friendship, we, a hundred thousand Mongolian cavalry, will not send troops to Liao Wuzong. This is the only thing that the general can do. As for what to do next, I still need to write to our flag master , please make a decision, I hope you understand."

Looking at the smiling Adamu, Yelu Qingde couldn't help but cursed the old fox in his heart.

This does not mean that he wants to ask the flag master for instructions. He clearly wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then take action at the right time.

I am afraid that Adamu also knows in his heart that sending troops at this time is not a wise choice no matter who he is helping.It would be better to let Liao Daozong and Liao Wuzong have a fight. When both sides get angry and both lose, they will make a bet.

At that time, whoever Meng Qi wants to help may win. This is the performance of maximizing interests.

Instead of risking sending troops now, there are dangers.

After knowing Adamu's thoughts, Yelu Qingde was not angry.Originally, when he came here, the order he received was that it would be best if Manmeng could help them. If not, then no matter what, they would not be able to send troops to help Liao Daozong.

Now it seems that the purpose has obviously been achieved.

Even so, Yelu Qingde has fulfilled his mission. He chuckled and said: "Okay, that's it, I hope the general can make a wise decision as soon as possible. By then, no matter what, I hope he can make a wise decision first." Inform our Liao Wuzong."

"This is nature, this is nature, hahaha." Adamu said with a hearty laugh.

......

Zhang Jian's luck was not good.

The mission to Zhao Song failed to achieve the previously set goals.

Zhao Song did not agree to send troops to help, which somewhat disappointed Zhang Jian.

Even though he later persuaded Zhao Song to sell grain to Liao, he was still worried that with this result, he would not be able to face Liao Xingzong after returning.
