The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 521 Reaching an Agreement
Yeluzhu looked thoughtful, waiting for Sang Ge to finish.

Sang Ge looked at Kublai Khan, and said: "The emperor forgives the boldness of the old ministers. Li Wangyuan and all the old ministers and rich gentry in Xixia dared to raise troops, and there was a tendency to make trouble. The fact is that our cavalry was unable to stop the Song army for the time being, and was defeated by the Song army one after another. Those people in the court are eager to move, and it all started here. Even if our imperial cavalry destroys Xixia and Song, we can't stop these people from being disobedient. Therefore, I think that the most urgent thing now is to strengthen the national power and develop more Powerful ordnance, therefore, negotiating peace with the Song Dynasty is inevitable."

Kublai Khan remained silent, "But let Li Xiushu be released, Xixia will rebel in a big way, and those people in the court will change, so what?"

"The minister has a good plan."

Sang Ge said: "The Song Dynasty and Xixia have reached a consensus. Judging from the current situation, it should be that the Song Dynasty helped Li Wangyuan exchange for Li Xiushu, while Xixia sent troops to Kuizhou to block the white horse in the middle of Shu in return. If our dynasty negotiates peace with the Song Dynasty, although we lose Xixia, But Xixia will inevitably go to war with Shuzhong, and it will also make Shuzhong and Song Dynasty completely hostile. When our dynasty and Song Dynasty cease war, Song Dynasty may also go to war with Shuzhong and Dali, but the difference is that Xixia and Song Dynasty are allies, while our dynasty There is no alliance with Shuzhong and Dali."

Kublai Khan was slightly moved, "You mean to let me unite with Shuzhong and Dali?"

"No."

Brother Sang shook his head, "Even if we unite with Shuzhong and Dali, and Xixia has rebelled, we can't stop those thoughts of raising troops and rebelling in the court. The veteran feels that it is better to divide the Song Dynasty and Xixia alliance than to unite with Dali and Shuzhong. We can do whatever we can." Agree to the conditions of the Song Dynasty, and not only give them Fujian, but also give them the old land of Xixia, Fengxiang, Lintao, and Lizhou East and West. At that time, Xixia will definitely occupy these territories and refuse to give up The Song Dynasty wanted to seize it again. Even if the two sides did not fight, it would be impossible to maintain the alliance. If we fan the flames again, Shuzhong, Dali, and Xixia may become chaotic. In this way, although we lost the land of Xixia, You have time to grow your strength, and you can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and enjoy the success. So, those people in the court, dare to make trouble?"

Kublai Khan, Yeluzhu, and Ashu all had bright eyes, even Huang Liangce.

Sang Ge's meaning is actually very simple, that is, to give up the big cake of Xixia, Fengxiang, Lintao, and Lizhou East and West Roads, and let Xixia and Song Dynasty compete for it.

At that time, the Shuzhong, Xixia, and Song dynasties may conquer each other, but the Yuan Dynasty will be able to win.

War consumes national strength, but recuperation can develop national strength.Under the ebb and flow, when the Shuzhong, Xixia, and Song dynasties are over, I am afraid that they will not be able to deal with the Yuan Dynasty cavalry.

And even if Shuzhong, Xixia, and Song Dynasty did not fight, the alliance between Xixia and Song Dynasty would inevitably split.There will still be no future troubles in the Yuan Dynasty.

Sang Ge's move is to retreat as an advance, which is really a clever trick among clever tricks.

"it is good!"

Kublai Khan was overjoyed and said, "Just do what you said, Brother Sang, agree to the terms of the Song Dynasty's peace negotiation, and give them the old land of Xixia, Fengxiang, Lintao, and Lizhou East and West Roads!"

"Emperor Shengming!"

Sang Ge, A Shu, and Yelu Zhu all surrendered.

Although Ah Shu was a little disappointed, he also knew that compared to his suggestion of sending troops to Dali, Sang Ge's strategy was obviously superior.

Kublai Khan turned his head to look at Huang Liangce, "Eunuch Huang, for this trip, you will lead ten Green Forest Camp Great Yuan Realm masters, and take Li Xiushu to Fujian to exchange for Princess Pearl."

"Old slave obeys the order."

Huang Liangce nodded slightly.

Later, Kublai Khan wrote a secret letter himself.Not long after, there were pigeons flying to Fuzhou again in Dadu.

Another three days passed.

The carrier pigeon landed in the government office of Fuzhou.

Pu Shougeng saw the contents of Kublai Khan's secret letter, and returned to Minqing with several priests in the early morning of the next day.This time, I didn't bring the tall thin and short fat people.

The scorching sun caused heat waves to rise on the ground.

Zhao Dongting stayed in Minqing for several days. The Song army did not fight the Yuan army again, but he discussed with Wen Tianxiang, Ren Wei and others several strategies for fighting the Yuan army.

If the negotiation fails, the battle will have to continue.The dust has finally settled in Fujian.

Pu Shougeng rushed to the east gate of Minqing County in the middle of the night. After entering the city, he saw Xing Xing in the government office.

Gao Xing just met Pu Shougeng, and after greeting him, the first thing he said was: "Brother Pu, have you already made a decision in Dadu?"

"Ah."

Pu Shougeng had a strange expression on his face, "The emperor agreed to the two conditions of Emperor Song. However, I can't understand the emperor's intention."

"what happened?"

Happily puzzled.

Pu Shougeng frowned slightly, "The emperor actually wants to give up the old land of Xixia, Fengxiang, Lintao, and Lizhou to the Song Dynasty. Why?"

Vision determines the pattern.

Pu Shougeng stayed in Fujian all the year round, and his vision was only in Fujian. It is naturally not so easy to see the intentions of Sang Ge, Kublai Khan and others who are looking at the world.

Moreover, he is afraid that he still doesn't know about the alliance between Xixia and Fengxiang, Lintao, Lizhou East and West Routes.

The horizon of happiness is naturally shallower.

There was a look of surprise in his eyes, then he was puzzled, and muttered in his mouth: "Give up the old land of Xixia and Fengxiang to the Song Dynasty?"

He really couldn't figure out what Kublai Khan was planning.In his view, Kublai Khan was simply giving up the great benefits to the Song Dynasty.

Could it be that apart from Princess Pearl and the unfavorable war in the Yuan Dynasty, what other things were hindered by the Song Dynasty?

After that, he shook his head happily, "The last general can't guess the emperor's intention."

Pu Shougeng sighed softly, looked up at Lang Lang's night sky, which was covered with stars, "This world is too chaotic..."

That night, he was not in a hurry to see Zhao Dongting.

After sleeping in the government office, Pu Shougeng went to the Song Army camp with Happy and other generals and other priests in the early morning of the next day, asking to see Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting took Wen Tianxiang and others to meet Pu Shougeng and his party in the lobby, and took their seats, but he didn't take the initiative to ask Pu Shougeng how the situation was.

The more you sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, the more you will have the upper hand in matters such as negotiations and peace talks.

Pu Shougeng waited for a few minutes, seeing that Wen Tianxiang and the others were just talking to each other, as if they had completely ignored the people on his side, he smiled wryly in his heart, and had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, I have already sent a secret letter to you. He promised you According to the conditions, I am willing to exchange Concubine Shu for Princess Mingzhu to go back, so that the Song and Yuan Dynasties will enjoy peace for five years. The court will send someone to bring Concubine Shu to Minqing, and please order someone to bring Princess Mingzhu too."

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, and said, "Then Fujian..."

Pu Shougeng said: "Fujian will naturally return to your Great Song Dynasty."

Zhao Dongting laughed loudly, "Since that's the case, when do you plan to evacuate the generals from Fujian, Lord Pu?"

But Pu Shougeng pondered, and then said: "Before that, there is one more thing that needs to be told to the emperor. Apart from the Fujian Road, our emperor also plans to give up the old land of Xixia, the two roads of Fengxiang, Lintao, and the east and west of Lizhou. You Song Dynasty."

When he said this, everyone was shocked.Even Zhao Dongting and Wen Tianxiang showed expressions of astonishment.

Afterwards, Zhao Da laughed loudly, "You Yuan Emperor is quite sensible."

But naturally no one in the room would answer his words.

Zhao Dongting narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing that this matter would not be that simple.There is no free pie in the world, and Kublai Khan, as the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, could not have no intentions in every move.

Give up the land of Xixia to Song Dynasty.

Zhao Da, Zhao Hu and others couldn't see the clue, but how could Zhao Dongting also not see it?
Xixia can already be said to be the territory of Li Wangyuan and those old ministers of Xixia. If the Yuan Dynasty "borrowed flowers to present Buddha", would he take it or not?
If you take it, you have to go to war with Xixia.This is obviously not advisable, and Da Song will be enemies everywhere.

If he didn't take it, Li Wangyuan would also feel wary of Da Song because of the actions of the Yuan Dynasty.At that time, the alliance will still have to disintegrate.

Could it be that he confessed to Li Wangyuan?

Can Li Wangyuan be a human being, will he be truly open and honest in this matter?

This move of the Yuan Dynasty left Zhao Dongting with almost no choice.

Could it be that you don't want Xixia and other places?

In this way, the Yuan Dynasty did not let Li Shufang go, and the agreement between Zhao Dongting and Li Wangyuan also became empty talk.

"Okay, since Emperor Yuan is polite, how can I not accept it?"

After careful consideration, Zhao Dongting finally nodded in agreement.
