Wen Yanbo pinched the Buddhist beads and said slowly: "Zhongtong, the letter of Xixia, spoke sadly, and proposed to exchange the occupied Quye River west with Tumen for the Hengshan area occupied by Wang Ju and the Suide Army..."

"Duke Wen, you must not." Guo Kui said.

The Tumen exchange for Suizhou has been rejected for a long time. Now, it will be replaced by a great victory. Is the Song Dynasty stupid?

As for the land west of Quye River occupied by Mozang Epang, the Song Dynasty also reaped a lot of it back. Although Zhong Yan failed to manage Luowu City, in order to arrange a chain defense front, Suizhou and Linzhou were connected from Hexi, and successively built Huangdui and other forts on the south side of Linzhou. Although Luowu City was abandoned later, these forts were still occupied by the Song Dynasty.

In fact, this calculation is equivalent to taking back most of the areas that were invaded by Wuzang Epang.

Where is the remaining little land important to Hengshan?

You should know that in order to get a section of Hengshan and reverse the unfavorable situation in the Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan and others almost racked their brains and never succeeded.

"But if it is not changed, Xixia will not be willing to accept it, and the border will never stop. Therefore, Cao Yong negotiated an alliance with the Empress Dowager of Liao and finally gave 300,000 yuan a year. Kou Zhun said that it would require 300,000 yuan, otherwise the Liao Kingdom would not be willing to accept it and the alliance would not be solid."

Guo Kui dared not speak.

He was lucky in his life.

Although he made some military achievements, there were not many generals who made great contributions. Only he was appreciated by Han Qi and was moved to the Privy Council for the signature, which was equivalent to being the deputy prime minister of the Western Prefecture.

But what is this little military merit? If Wang Junwan, who was in this battle, could he get the position of signing the Privy Council, then would Wang Junwan not be moved to the Prime Minister of the Western Prefecture?

So everyone was dissatisfied. But Han Qi continued to protect the emperor and transferred him to Weizhou. However, he also had a position, that is, the Shaanxi Xuanfu Envoy, which was the position held by Han Jiang.

When Han Qi went down, he quickly followed him and then changed his sentence to Yunzhou. Even if he was later transferred to Shaanxi, he was only changed to Fuzhou. Yang Wenguang was also the official who led Fuzhou. A casual second-rate general was qualified to hold an official position.

However, because of the Suizhou incident, he was moved to the prefect of Yanzhou.

As this year, he was transferred back to Xifu as an envoy of the Southern Court of Xuanhui. This position was a position of official and a substitute. When he was in the prefect of Yanzhou, he was just a post and paid. However, when he was transferred back to Xifu, he was a substitute, second only to the senior official of the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council.

Who is all this? Wen Yanbo is right now!

Wen Yanbo also said: "First, the two countries will continue to fight. Take a step back, and the two countries will be peaceful and friendly. If they are the same as Song and Liao."

"But Duke Wen, it's really not worth it."

"Yes, I thought about it, so I planned to force Xia Zhi to agree to a change of method."

"What's the way to change it?"

"Let the Xixia move out of the Tumen area, and then let Wang Ju go from Jintang City to Dingbian City, and give Hengshan west of Ningqiang Village to Xixia, and replace the Tumen. Because our dynasty and Xixia jointly manage this section of Hengshan, Xixia cannot threaten Qingzhou, nor can our dynasty, and the Tumen returns it to our dynasty and Yanzhou will be safe. Only then can the two countries be peaceful for a long time."

Guo Kui wanted to squirt blood, but it would be necessary to replace it like this? I'm afraid Xia Zhi couldn't ask for it.

At this time, he felt a little regretful. After the imperial edict was issued, he was very happy, so he handed over with Zhao Cheng and rushed to the capital.

However, he also heard about some situations in Yanzhou, saying that Zhao Rong and Han Jiang fought against Tumen and stationed heavy troops in Xixia. Many soldiers who were good at fighting were transferred to Wang Ju. Yanzhou lacked troops, so he stopped using Tumen.

Isn't this nonsense?

He even transferred some of the troops to Wang Ju for use. Isn’t the troops attacking the Tumen enough? But Guo Kui already knew that this was not the Tumen, but the Western Palace pointed at Han Jiang. Who told him to be the second general of the Hunha who made Wang Anshi reform?

Then the court sent Zhang Maoze as the envoy to investigate. Guo Kui and Han Jiang worked with him for a long time, and then he knew that Han Jiang was finished. Because Han Jiang didn't understand, he made many mistakes in Yanzhou, and if he didn't investigate, he would be the best handle to attack Han Jiang.

As for the Battle of Qingzhou, Han Jiang, you, ran to Qingzhou, who can admit that you were involved in planning and command?

Therefore, looking at Wen Yanbo's staring eyes, Guo Kui had to remain silent.

"Zhongtong, do you think someone is wrong?"

"What Wen Gong said is very true," Guo Kui said with no choice. Don't underestimate Wen Yanbo. Han Jiang will be demoted soon. His backer is Han Qi, but not Wen Yanbo. It's too easy for him to mess with him.

This is what I need. Guo Kui is a military person, and has been in the northwest for a long time and has the most say. Therefore, Wen Yanbo began to lead everyone to write a letter.

When Zhao Xu saw the edict, he summoned the important officials to go to the Chuigong Hall to discuss matters.

This made everyone feel a little puzzled. The Chuigong Hall was also where the emperor of the Song Dynasty handled government affairs and summoned ministers. However, since Zhao Xu ascended the throne, it has been mostly changed to Yanhe Hall.

Everyone is here one by one.

Zhao Xu looked at Guo Kui and asked, "Duke Wen wrote a letter saying that he would give up a piece of Hengshan occupied by our army and exchange it for the Tumen with Xixia?"

Guo Kui was dizzy. How could this be my opinion?

It is not important to have a Tumen, but of course it is also important. However, after a series of forts in the north of Yanzhou, it is important but not so important. At least it is far less important than the Hengshan section occupied by Wang Ju.

Perhaps Wen Yanbo's proposal is confusing. Half of it is given up, but half is retained. Then Huanqing Second Road is not easy to invade, and with a Tumen, Yanzhou is not easy to invade. Moreover, some large forts built by Wang Ju are all behind, and there are some forts in front, but they are mainly small and medium forts, so the economic losses can be tolerated.

But that's how it is?

At first, Guo Kui was a little puzzled in Yanzhou. Wang Ju "cleaned" the unruly tribes in Hengshan. This is understandable. If it is not cleaned, there will be huge hidden dangers in the future. Moreover, this opportunity is also very good. When the Song army wins a great victory and the villages are strong and empty, the cost of cleaning is not high.

But Guo Kui didn't understand the Hengshan area occupied by Wang Ju. Wang Ju only occupied the Hengshan area of ​​Beiluo River to Yanqing River. In the future, if you want to attack Yanzhou, you must first pass the levels of the Tuokou, which will at least allow Yanzhou to gain defense time. If you want to go south to cooperate with the Zhenrong Army, there are Qinggang Gorge and other fortresses. At least take down Xiamazhai. It was taken down. Then you threw it back to Xixia like a toy.

It was not until he entered the Western Prefecture that he understood Wang Ju's intentions, and the treasury did not have the financial support to continue to fight.

It's time for peace.

Such invasion will not force Xixia into a hurry, and the benefits will be obtained again.

But the fact is that if this section of Hengshan is occupied, you can counterattack against Xixia in the future. After all, Xixia does not have many permanent troops. Moreover, after this battle, Xixia's troops are even lacking. So the role of these levels is not as great as imagined.

Just like now, according to Wen Yanbo's intention, the Song Dynasty took back the Tumen. As long as the Western Xia occupied Hengshan, it could still pose a threat to the Yanzhou border.

On the contrary, if half of Hengshan was given up in Qingzhou, even the built fortress was given up, then Hengshan would not be able to use Hengshan to counterattack Xixia.

Can this be replaced?

He was so scared that he dared not speak.

Zhao Xu's face was gloomy and said, "Waimingshan surrendered to our dynasty. The people of Xixia killed Yang Ding to take revenge, and later he deceived us and exchanged Suizhou with the Tumen area. The ministers in the court agreed that I had no choice but to issue an edict. It was your insistence that you concealed the edict, so that you did not burn the city of Suizhou and did not make a joke in history. Therefore, I issued an edict to commend you, have a secret strategy, and have all the opportunities for the middle. If you do this, I will not worry about the West."

Who insisted on giving up Suizhou back then? Wen Yanbo is!

Your glory and wealth are not given by Wen Yanbo, but by me!

But Guo Kui knew in his heart that whether he was speaking for Zhao Xu or Wen Yanbo, the Western Palace would not be able to stay for a long time.

Guo Kui had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, Tumen is important, and Hengshan is also important."

Let’s be muddy, and Xifu can’t stay for a long time.

However, some ministers already vaguely felt that something big would happen today, otherwise Zhao Xu would not have said it so clearly.

"Transfer an edict to let three Xia envoys enter the palace." Zhao Xu said.

Wei Ming Kerong has been in Beijing for several days, and of course he didn't expect Wang Juhui to assign him a mate envoy. Then they would be embarrassed on the way to the capital, so they had to follow the queen Huang and treat the queen Huang as the clerk, and then they entered the capital and handed over the letter of the country.

This matter took several days and it was not surprising that Zhao Xu met him, and he used to meet Xia Envoy in Chuigong Hall.

However, Wen Yanbo frowned.

Weiming Kerong and the other two were taken to Chuigong Hall.

The three of them bent down and shouted long live the mountain.

After defeat, Xixia took the initiative to seek sum. In addition to seeking sum, she also wanted to make a little advantage, so she had to lower her attitude.

Zhao Xu said: "Why did you Xixia invade Huanqing two prefectures this time?"

"It was Xiao Xiao instigating that the Empress Dowager had already executed these people. I hope the Emperor will forgive him."

"Are you really that?"

"That's true," Wei Ming Kerong said with a tough bullet.

"What I want to say is where your Tuoba Li family was originally located?" Zhao Xu began a series of questions.

"The four states of the difficult to settle, and the four states of the difficult to settle, Xiazhou, Yinzhou, Youzhou, and Suizhou, but how many territory did you Xixia occupy now?"

"You Li Jiqian, Xixia, took advantage of the opportunity of the war between the Song and Liao dynasties to raise troops to cause chaos. The five armies of Zhenzong failed to attack, so you were allowed to occupy Yanzhou, Lingzhou. Our dynasty was incompetent, so we could only sit by your Xixia to grow stronger."

"Then Li Deming ascended the throne and, in order to plot against Hexi, he also surrendered to our dynasty in exchange for our dynasty that our dynasty would not support the Liugu tribe. Therefore, you Xixia will get Hexi. Our dynasty made a mistake in making decisions and still could only sit back and watch you grow stronger."

"Li Yuanhao ascended the throne and established the country. Our dynasty was defeated repeatedly, so he had to pay 250,000 yuan to buy peace."

"Wuzang Epang invaded and plowed the Quye River, and our army was defeated in Hulid, so we silently regard you as Xixia occupying a large area of ​​land west of Quye River."

"When the late emperor, our dynasty suffered a lot, but you Xixia took the opportunity to lure Yu Zang Huama, and then joined forces to invade Qinxi, capturing and slaughtering Shufan from our dynasty for thousands of miles, and instantly became a dead place. However, the late emperor still regarded harmony as the most important thing, but you Xixia wolfish ambitions invaded Dashun City again. After returning from a crushing defeat, you still remained deadly. They crossed the border repeatedly and repeatedly plundered the border areas of Shaanxi."

"I just want to ask you one question. If you defeat our army this time and capture the two prefectures of Huanqing, will you return the two prefectures to our court?"

And, that's weird.

So why did the Song Dynasty return this section of Hengshan and Suizhou?

Anyway, it’s not good to buy An, so it’s like a fist.

"I can think about peace, but think about it clearly. Only after I put forward the conditions, I agree to peace talks. You guys go down."

Wei Ming Kerong was sweating in his sweat after Zhao Xu's repeated remarks, so he had to leave the Chuigong Hall under the leadership of the eunuch. However, he left the Chuigong Hall and felt confused. Why didn't the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty persuade this little emperor?

Persuasion is useless, and there is also Huang Hua's record.

However, Huang Hua was sitting next to him and met him in the state yamen. There were a lot of thick documents on his side. Wei Ming Kerong thought he was assisting Wang Ju in handling official duties.

Three messengers went down.

Zhao Xu's face was cold. Looking at his face, Wen Yanbo and others didn't dare to speak.

In fact, Eunuch Huang brought Wang Ju’s record back, and Zhao Xu was a little unbelievable after seeing it. How important is Hengshan? Someone would suggest discard it?

Therefore, he deliberately neglected Wei Ming Kerong for a few days, just looking at the movements of the ministers in the court.
