Chapter 91 The question of peace!

The matter about the war can only come to an end for the time being. After all, although Daxia won consecutive battles, it was really impossible to fight. So the Daxia court first released the intention of being willing to negotiate to the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty was naturally overjoyed about this. Although there was no hot war between Song and Xia during this period, the confrontation existed. Di Hu was staring at the Huai River, and more than 100,000 troops were on the side of the bed. It would be strange if the Song Dynasty people could sleep.

Now that the Song Dynasty is willing to stop the war, the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty are naturally overjoyed and send envoys to discuss.

Since peace talks are needed, of course, the two countries are not just signing a ceasefire agreement. Although this is very important to the Song Dynasty, it is optional for Daxia, and Daxia wants more.

Although Ouyang Bian didn't want to ask too much about this, Su Che, Zhang Dun and others still came to ask for advice.

"...You're actually going to decide on this matter. Don't ask me about everything. This matter is just a trivial matter. Isn't it just a signing of a ceasefire agreement? For us, it's nothing great if we don't sign this crutch agreement. It doesn't mean anything if we sign it. Anyway, we still have to fight in a few years!"

Ouyang Bian acted very much, it made Su Che angry.

"Your Majesty, that's not what you said. Although I don't know how many years it can be signed after signing this armistice agreement, it is still necessary to sign it. This is a major event that concerns the legitimacy of the future!"

Su Che said angrily.

When Ouyang Bian saw Su Che getting angry, he could only cheer up: "Okay, okay, think about it when I think about it, why are you so impatient... Hey, there is one!"

Ouyang Bian secretly looked at Su Zhe with a dark face and Zhang Dun who was laughing next to him. Su Zhe said angrily: "If you have a fart, just let it go!"

Ouyang Bian was very embarrassed and wiped his nose and said, "First of all, we must make sure that we are a victorious country, so we need to claim several rights.

First of all, it is about the territorial issue. The land we have captured belongs to us. If they dare to claim the territorial issue, there is no need to discuss it. Let Di Hu go directly to the Huai River and drive them across the Yangtze River;..."

As soon as Ouyang Bian said this, Su Che's face was dark and he felt helpless.

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "I know, I know, I won't fight anymore, I will scare them. This is the negotiation strategy!

Secondly, regarding the issue of noun, Daxia will no longer accept the title of Song State. Song State must recognize the title of Emperor Daxia. This is not a negotiable issue. Tell the envoy of Song State that if he cannot agree, there is no need to talk about it."

This time Ouyang Bian spoke very seriously, and Su Che did not express his dissatisfaction, and even nodded seriously, which was about the dignity of the country.

Regarding the relationship between the states between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, the agreement reached between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia in the fourth year of Qingli of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty was still mainly based on the agreement reached between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty.

The peace agreement stipulated: Xixia praised Song and abolished the emperor's title, Yuan Hao accepted Song's title and was called the Lord of Xia;

Although this peace agreement was signed by the Li family and the Song Dynasty, Ouyang Bian naturally had to admit it after accepting the abdication. This is a legitimate thing, so it must be abolished.

Ouyang Bian thought for a while and said, "During the Song and Xia War, the Song Dynasty must return the looted generals, soldiers, and households."

Su Che asked, "What about us capturing the generals and soldiers of the Song Dynasty?"

Ouyang Bian glared: "Nonsense, we have no prisoners, we are all voluntarily joining our Daxia!"

Su Che: "..."

Zhang Dun asked, "Is there any more?"

Ouyang Bian shook his head: "That's it."

Zhang Dun said in surprise: "Don't you ask the Song Dynasty to provide annual monies?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and according to the previous peace agreement, the Song Dynasty gave Xixia silver, 130,000 pieces of silk, and 20,000 jin of tea every year; in addition, Xixia silver, 22,000 taels, 23,000 pieces of silk, and 10,000 jin of tea every year.

Is this little money a little attractive to Xixia back then, but it is really unattractive to Ouyang Bian.

Zhang Dun also laughed, okay, it really doesn't make any sense.

"What about trade? Song and Xia often set up trade markets on the border to communicate with each other."

Zhang Dun asked.

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "In the past, Daxia asked for trade in the Song Dynasty, but this was often the means by the Song Dynasty to control Daxia. Now it doesn't need to be like this. We don't have to take the initiative to mention it. If they don't mention it, they will forget it. If they mention it..."

Ouyang Bian's eyes were shining: "...It can be restored with conditions. Daxia can buy silk, cotton, vegetables, and grain from the Song Dynasty. As for other things, don't!"

Su Cheqi said: "Why is this?"

Ouyang Bian said: "We have all the industrial products of the Song Dynasty. Why do we need to buy them? Silk and cotton can be exported overseas. We only make no losses. Of course, these are all small things. The key is that we must do our best to suppress the economy of the Song Dynasty and let them farm, and leave the rest to us."

Su Che and Zhang Dun took a breath.

Ouyang Bian's move is considered vicious. If Su Che had been in the past, he would probably think that there was nothing wrong with this, but now he knows that only agriculture is not good, and industry and commerce can become a strong country long before it can develop.

Now Daxia has occupied the Silk Road on the Land and trapped the maritime merchants of the Song Dynasty on the sea. In other words, the foreign trade channels of the Song Dynasty are basically gone. If you want to develop the economy, you can only rely entirely on internal circulation.

Of course, Jiangnan still has great potential, but Jiangnan is currently in a serious economic crisis and can't even ease it in a few years. When it recovers, it is estimated that a new round of Song-Xia War will begin again!

It is said that Ouyang Bian is taking three steps at a time. Although they are all old acquaintances, they are still always frightened by Ouyang Bian.

Regardless of their shock, Ouyang Bian was still saying: "Well, it seems that we have not gotten anything like this kind of appointment, and there seems that there is no need to sign such an appointment..."

Su Che couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The Song Dynasty may not agree to such an agreement."

Ouyang Bian nodded and said, "I guess they don't have the courage to go back to the territory, but if they have to implement it in the agreement, I'm afraid they won't dare either. The issue of imperial number is probably difficult, so there is nothing to talk about. Forget it, let's talk about it, I don't care. You guys will deal with it yourself. Whether you like to sign or not, it doesn't matter anyway."

Now Zhang Dun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It seems that it is really as Ouyang Bian said, there is indeed no need to sign.

Zhang Dun said: "Or, you'll have to have some money?"

Ouyang Bian sneered: "Don't use hundreds of thousands of coins to taint my eyes and ears. If they don't want to agree to the above conditions, they will use ten million coins.

I have earned more than this money for the Song Dynasty, more than thirty or forty times more than this one!”
