In the big tent built by Wanyan Agu.

Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo, and Wang Huan had long since resigned, and now standing in the tents were all the high-level officials of the Kingdom of Jin.

For example:

A Maibo Jilie (this is equivalent to the first assistant to the Prime Minister) finished his speech without losing his face.

Hao Bo Jilie (this person is equivalent to the second assistant of the Prime Minister) Wanyan Xiye.

(Plus Dubo Jilie (that is, the emperor), Wanyan Aguda, Ming Banbo Jilie (this is the crown prince, the heir after the emperor's death), Wanyan Wu Qimai, and Guolun Bojilie (this is equivalent to Guolun Bojilie) Phase) Wanyan Sagai——Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyan Sagai are not here but in Shangjing.

The above five people are the five Central Standing Committee members of the Jin Kingdom and the decision makers of the Jin Kingdom.

By the way, the current state of Jin is not a country with the supremacy of imperial power. The current state of Jin decides the country’s major policies in the form of a collegial system of a small number of senior core officials. It is a political system that assists the emperor, and the emperor’s power is actually Be restrained by various senior core officials, similar to collective leadership. )
Further down are Wanyan Pu's slaves, Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan's mother, Wanyanchang and other high-ranking Jurchens.

In addition to these Jurchen high-ranking officials, there are also high-ranking officials from the Jin Kingdom, such as Yelu Yujian and Gao Qingyi.

Wanyan Agu looked around and saw that almost everyone had arrived, and then said: "Let's talk about it, how should our Dajin Kingdom get along with Li Yan, and how should we respond to Song Kingdom's plan to attack Li Yan with coalition forces?" ask?"

Wanyanci is Wanyan Aguda's cousin, the highest seniority, and one of the five standing committee members, so he was the first to speak: "Eight years have passed since the oath master came to Liushui. During these eight years, we have been Fighting, the warriors of all ministries are tired, and it is time to rest. Now, my Dajin Kingdom occupies three of the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom, including Shangjing, the capital of the Liao Kingdom, and most of the land of the Liao Kingdom. It should also be satisfied. The rest What should be recuperating and multiplying, rather than continuing to fight, so I think it is time to make peace with Shuibo Liangshan."

Wanyan Xie also said in a deep voice: "It's true that the warriors of my Great Jin Kingdom need to rest, and it's also right to recuperate, reproduce and grow stronger, but our neighbor must not be Li Yan, this person has a tough style and will not give an inch. In the future, there will inevitably be endless troubles, and we cannot leave endless troubles just because we are greedy for a moment of peace."

Wan Yanci retorted without hesitation: "Ask for old coins is indeed not the basis for harmonious coexistence, and the reason why our warriors fought with the Liangshan army is all because of our greed. If we don't covet the land, how can it happen? That battle? The Han people have always disliked our Northeast, which is a bitterly cold place, so as long as we don’t provoke them, they probably won’t come out to attack us.”

Wanyan Zongwang said: "The reason why the Liao Kingdom is so rich is because they occupy the Han land and receive a lot of money every year. If our Dajin Kingdom does not want to be poor, it must be the same as the Liao Kingdom."

Wanyan said without hesitation: "A few 10 taels of silk per year can really make our Dajin prosperous? I think the reason why the Liao Kingdom is so rich is mainly because of its trade with the Central Plains, and Li Yan has agreed to open a negotiating field on the border. , so, as long as we maintain a good relationship with Li Yan, our Dajin Kingdom will definitely be as rich as the Liao Kingdom."

Wanyan Zongwang sneered and said: "It's all in the hands of others and limited by others. It won't take many years for my Dajin Kingdom to become a subsidiary of Shuibo Liangshan. My Dajin Kingdom fought for eight years and killed tens of thousands of warriors. This is not the desired result.”

Wanyan Xiyin said: "What the second crown prince said is right. The last time Wu Xie and Gao Qingyi went to Yunzhong Mansion, Li Yan actually wanted to collect taxes in the quarry. This is completely contemptuous of our Dajin Kingdom."

Wanyanci still turned his head to Wanyan Pu's servant, and asked, "How does the envoy from Shuibo Liangshan explain this matter?"

Wanyan Pu's slave replied: "Hu Yanqing said that they will build a special forum and provide special services, so they collect a certain amount of tax. Hu Yanqing also said that this will last long and show their strength. sincerity."

Wanyan Ci listened without hesitation, looked at Wanyan Agu and said: "I think there is nothing wrong with the method of water park Liangshan."

Wanyan Zong said dryly: "But uncle, you can't deny it. In this way, our Dajin Kingdom will be completely passive. When this happens, if Shuibo Liangshan is happy, this discussion will be open. If Shuibo Liangshan is not happy, this discussion will be open." It will be closed, and there is nothing we Dajin Kingdom can do about it.”

Wan Yanci did not refute this time, because it was indeed the case.

Wanyan Zongqian looked at Wanyan Aguda, and said: "If you want to form an alliance with Shuibo Liangshan, you can, but you must give the three prefectures of Pingluanying to our Dajin Kingdom, and let our Dajin Kingdom garrison Songting Pass and Yuguan Pass."

Wanyan Zongqian's proposal received everyone's response:
"That's right, if our Dajin Kingdom occupies the three prefectures of Pingluanying, and Shuibo Liangshan dares to unilaterally close the market, our Dajin Kingdom's army can threaten Yanjing at any time."

"Not only that, but with the three prefectures of Pingluanying, our Dajin Kingdom's army can go south at any time. Even if Shuibo Liangshan does not trade with our Dajin Kingdom, we can still trade with Song Kingdom."

"The Central Plains is rich, our Dajin Kingdom can't cut off the channel of contact with the Central Plains, so we are bound to win the three prefectures of Pingluanying!"

"..."

After listening to everyone's discussion, Wan Yanci said leisurely: "You know the importance of the three states of Pingluanying, don't you know that Li Yan? Do you think Li Yan will give the three states of Pingluanying to our Great Jin Kingdom? ?”

After hearing Wanyan Ci's words, everyone was silent because the answer was obvious.

After a while, Wanyan Zongwang said: "If Li Yan doesn't give it, we won't form an alliance with Li Yan. Now Song Guo is afraid that Li Yan will usurp the throne and begs us to form an alliance. We only need to help Song Guo get rid of Li Yan. I miss them Willing to give anything."

Wanyan Ci looked at Wanyan Zongwang and said, "You're right, but the question is, is Li Yan so easy to deal with? Mother-in-law once fought against Liangshan Army. Come and tell everyone about the strength of Liangshan Army? "

Wanyan's mother said: "The Liangshan army is definitely a powerful army in the world. The soldiers are not afraid of death, and their weapons are sharp. They have a kind of cannon, which can kill several people with one cannon. Wherever they pass, people and horses will be blown away. , Many of the warriors who were blown down didn't even have wounds on their bodies, but they were bleeding from seven holes, and our department was mainly defeated by this strange weapon."

Wanyan Zonghan said: "That is the Feilei Cannon, one of the firearms of the Liangshan Army. Besides, the Liangshan Army also has bed crossbows, thunderbolts and other sharp weapons."

Wan Yanxie also said: "The key is the order and prohibition. The obedience of the Liangshan Army is the only thing I have ever seen in my life. Even my Jurchen warriors can't do that. I think we won't have any advantage in a battle with equal forces."

Wanyan Xie was also the No.1 handsome man in the Kingdom of Jin. He commented on Liang Shanjun in such a way, which immediately extinguished the thoughts of many people who wanted to use force.

For a while, all the people in the tent were silent.

After a while, Wanyan Aguda, who hadn't spoken all this time, said leisurely: "You guys... force is not the only way to solve problems in many cases."

Seeing that Wanyan Aguda seemed to be in control, Wanyan's resignation, Wanyan Xieye and the others were all refreshed——Wanyan Aguda Yingmo Ruilue, a few years later, he had no plans to spare, since he was so confident, How not to make them look forward to it?
