Clause 558
Han Qi was not a kind person in the first place, but he was only annoyed by the tedious negotiations and being disturbed by the endless tranquility.

When the imperial court's implicit edict arrived, Han Qi immediately began to operate.

There has never been a shortage of bowed people in all dynasties, let alone the reputation of the orthodox dynasty of the Central Plains at this time.

For literati, there is really no taboo of betrayal in this situation.

Han Qi was also quite forthright. After selecting some officials, he directly brought all the chief officials sent by the court to the four states into the negotiating team, and handed over the governance rights of the entire Yunying four states to those officials.

In addition, Han Qi also ordered all the subordinate officials, as well as the soldiers of the new army stationed in the garrison, to fully support their official duties.

Sure enough, in less than half a month, after hundreds of heads were cut off, the entire newly occupied area was stabilized to a certain extent.At least there are no more harassment incidents targeting garrison soldiers and dispatched officials.

Han Qi can finally devote himself to negotiating the details of the covenant.

I can't figure out why Yelu Hongji of Beiliao had to play the king's covenant once.Everyone knows that this so-called covenant is just a rhetoric, and it can be torn up at any time.

Just like the Tanyuan Alliance, it was pressing every step of the way in the Northern Liao Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty changed many times in the process of compromise.

The basis for the execution of the covenant is that the two sides are evenly matched. When one party's strength is higher than the other's to a certain extent, the covenant will no longer be remembered.

Perhaps in Yelu Hongji's view, a covenant involving a king will be obeyed to a certain extent.

After all, the Tanyuan alliance has persisted for a hundred years in a precarious state, and even Beiliao's constant unreasonableness has racked its brains to find some excuses.

The current situation is that the Song Dynasty is thriving and the Beiliao is declining. The Beiliao also wants to trade time for development, hoping to use the covenant to restrain the Song Dynasty to some extent, so that they have a chance to breathe.

However, Han Qi knew that his official family was definitely not a cheap lamp...

If it weren't for the shortage of soldiers, I'm afraid the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun would have been taken this time.This is still Guochao's passive response to the war. Once the Song Dynasty took the initiative to launch a war that day, it might not only be a matter of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

It has been less than 20 years since the official family managed the guard camp and led the guard camp to the south, and the official family is only 30 years old. The changes in the country and dynasty can be described as changing with each passing day.

No one is sure, if there are another ten years, how much the strength of Guochao will be improved!
By then...~ I'm excited to think about it.He, Han Qi, was also fortunate to catch up with this era of great change...

Han Qi figured it out, or Fu Bi made it clear... Since he is a sage king, so what if the courtier is the cooperating position?There is also the chance of immortality.

Right now, he needs to complete the covenant negotiations with Beiliao.

Although Han Qi knew that the covenant was of little use, he devoted himself to it solemnly.Give Beiliao an impression... Da Song also needs this time.

Since the two kings agreed to sign the covenant, the communication between Yunzhou and Hongzhou has not stopped for a day.

At first, he was a messenger, and later he was an official. Yelu Yixin of the Beiliao Dynasty has also been stationed in Hongzhou, and the level of contact between the two sides has become higher and higher.

What Han Qi didn't expect was that the first terms of the covenant that Yelv Yixin presided over the negotiations in Hongzhou were actually aimed at Xixia.

When any party between Song and Liao has a war dispute with Xixia, the other party is not allowed to give Xixia any form of help...~This clause is not a restrictive clause at all for Da Song, but it is proposed by Da Song.

Compared with the Northern Liao Dynasty, Xixia is the thorn in the flesh of the Song Dynasty!Being betrayed and defeated repeatedly has always been a shame that Da Song cannot avoid.Especially for Han Qi.

At the same time, Han Qi also knew that in this Battle of Hedong Road, the country's plan to treat the Liao and Xia coalition forces differently had fermented.

Perhaps, Yelv Yixin is the supporter of the Liaoxia coalition this time, or it is also possible that it is the leader.

Beiliao's disastrous defeat against the Great Song Dynasty not only lost the four states of Yunying, but also lost the New Year's Coin, and more importantly dragged down Beiliao's position as the leader of the three.

For such a heavy price, Beiliao needed an excuse, an excuse that the entire Beiliao, from the king to the generals, could accept.

Therefore, the Battle of Hedong Road was the rhetoric of Song and Xia united to pit Daliao, and it was only in Northern Liao that there was a market, and it was even unanimously agreed.

Han Qi understood, even if he really wanted to agree directly...but he still hesitated for a long time, and pointed out that his family and Xixia were a bit tricky.

This made Yelv Yixin very pleased.In fact, it doesn't matter whether the facts are like this or not, but Song Guo's vague suggestions are what he needs.

This time, he was indeed the one who advocated the war against Song with the Western Xia Alliance, and he was indeed a little passive during this period.

Although he strongly suppressed some gossip from the Daliao Dynasty, and with the fact that Song Guo covered up, he was able to confirm this doubt.

Then...the only way to get Daliao's dignity back is from Xixia.

Stop the old currency, and make a treaty with the state of brothers.Han Qi also threw out Da Song's first clause.

This, too, is a provision that is not subject to much dissent.The state of brothers is ridiculous, the point is to cancel the old coin.Beiliao has already recognized this.

In the original Tanyuan alliance, the Great Song Dynasty exchanged money and food for development, but now it can also be said that the Northern Liaoshe exchanged money and food for development.

Although there is a difference between the two times... After all, it is only the beginning, and the two sides have not yet reached the point where the bayonet is red.Han Qi was also enduring it.

Taking a certain day of military occupation as the boundary line... From this point on, the two sides have more disputes.

So, both Han Qi and Yelu Yixin started wandering around their actual control areas...

The Datong Basin is surrounded by Luliang Mountain, Yin Mountain, Yan Mountain and the northern foot of Taihang Mountain. Except for the Sanggan River in the east, which can directly reach Hongzhou by scouring the plain, the rest has natural mountain barriers.

This is also the line of defense of the Central Plains dynasties in the past dynasties.

Whether it is Di Qing, Chong E, or Guo Kui, they are all generals with considerable defensive experience... It is sad to say that all the generals of the Song Dynasty, when they occupy a place, the first thing they think about is how to defend it.

It is also because of this way of thinking that after the troops left Yanmen Pass, the Fourth Route Army began to sweep away all the Liao troops within the defense line of the mountains.

Except for the east of Yunzhou, along the Sanggan River all the way to Hongzhou, a complete and solid line of defense has been established.

This gave the negotiating team a fairly favorable initiative on the issue of the boundary line.

Terrain is the best boundary demarcation line...

After Yelu Yixin completed the inspection of the actual border line, he also had to agree with Da Song's drafting of the border line.

The only focus is on the Sanggan River Basin...

At this time, Yelv Yixin put forward another request: to establish a market in Yunzhou.

To say that the previous clauses represent the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty, in Han Qi's view, this clause represents some of the nobles of the Northern Liao Dynasty.

As everyone knows, for Da Song, the establishment of a discussion field is more important than the boundary line.

According to what officials have said, military aggression is the worst strategy compared to cultural aggression and economic aggression.

From the beginning of the negotiation, it seemed that all the demands of Beiliao had not been separated from what was agreed in the political discussion when Han Qi left.
