Baichi City, on the way to Tiemen Pass to Xingqing Mansion, this city is now the small base on the front line of the Dangxiang people.

Now Xixia is in the eastern territory, not an area, but an area along the north-south direction of the Yellow River. Baichi City is the southernmost end of this area.

To the north of Baichi City, forty or fifty miles, Emperor Dangxiang's ceremonial guard had been waiting for a long time.

The golden armor is very strange, but there is no such thing as a ceremonial guard. Apart from the commanding flag, he doesn't sit in a car and comes with a horse. There are 20,000 mighty cavalry behind him, and countless scouts and cyclists are running around to investigate.

Gan Qi's speed was very slow because he had to wait for the Ranger to repay step by step before moving forward. He didn't think about killing Emperor Dangxiang here directly, but he had to be careful whether the Dangxiang people would lead the emperor into the trap.

Obviously, the Dangxiang people's rangers were also running everywhere. Fortunately, even if the rangers on both sides met, they did not take action and did their own things.

In this cautious manner, the two sides finally met.

In a huge camp, the soldiers and men on both sides were not tense, but they were also looking at each other with tigers. Dangxiang people sat in the west and Ganqi sat in the east.

Of course, Gan Qi came in later because the tent was prepared by the Dangxiang people. The tent was between the two armies. After entering, Gan Qi looked up and down at the Dangxiang people who stood up.

Liang Yi buried it, Gan Qi knew him. A seven or eight-year-old child looked around with innocent eyes. Obviously, he didn't know what was going on today. This child was wearing a dragon robe. Needless to say, the Western Xia Emperor Li Bingchang was him.

There was a woman standing next to the child. She was not old but very beautiful. She had a bit of toughness and heroic eyebrows. She was phoenix robe and was dignified and had a sense of grace.

Gan Qi immediately had a guess in his heart that the Empress Dowager Liang of Xixia was naturally her. At the age of 24, she became the Empress Dowager. She was originally the cousin sister-in-law of the former emperor Li Liangzuo, and Li Liangzuo's uncle's daughter-in-law. In the country where the uncle was in power in Xixia, Li Liangzuo naturally had to play the uncle. After he fucked his uncle, he took over his cousin sister-in-law.

Of course, it was also Li Liangzuo and Empress Dowager Liang who had already looked at each other. To put it bluntly, Empress Dowager Liang had cheated on him for a long time and had a cheating in a sister-brother relationship after being a wife. In the case of Li Liangzuo killing his uncle, Empress Dowager Liangzuo was an insider for Li Liangzuo.

It can be seen that this Queen Mother Liang is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

These things are not ancient stories, but about ten years ago. Now Li Liangzuo died at the age of 21, leaving behind this orphan and widowed mother, which is a bit sad to say.

But Gan Qi knew that this Empress Dowager Liang was not worthy of sympathy, because this Empress Dowager Liang was a war madman in history. After she took power, she did the most things she did was to gather all the troops in Dangxiang to attack Song, and at every turn, a large army of 400,000 went south, fighting with Song in a dark and dark way.

Empress Dowager Liang took the initiative to bow to Gan Qifu: "I have met the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. This palace is the Empress Dowager of Xixia. The prime minister comes from afar, thank you for your hard work."

Empress Dowager Liang speaks Chinese exactly as good as the Han people, because the Liang family was originally a Han Chinese.

Gan Qi looked at everyone, but ignored Empress Dowager Liang's show of kindness. He didn't even give him a gift and walked to the seat first.

After finishing his seat, Gan Qi even sorted out his armor and said, "Sit down and talk..."

Gan Qi's behavior was really rude, but he was full of majesty. Gan Qi didn't have any grievances and resentment in the hearts of those people opposite him.

Empress Dowager Liang frowned slightly, but she sat down as she heard the words. Liang Yi, who was beside him, leaned to the side, obviously his face was ugly and he was angry, but he knew he could not send it out.

Gan Qi spoke again: "The Dangxiang royal family, whether the surname is Li, Wei, or Tuoba, has changed the world, and now they have become a country. Dangxiang and Song have been fighting for decades, and there are all victories and losses between you and me. There are countless deep hatreds. When your Dangxiang wins, there are more days to show off his power. Now I have the advantage of Song. Since the deep hatreds have existed, I will not talk about anything else. If you fight, it will be considered as worthy of countless dead martyrs."

Gan Qi's words were heartbroken. He thought so in his heart. Now, there is no question of being kind to make money. As for the surnames of the Dangxiang people, it is simple to say. They should have had the surname Tuoba at first, but were given the surname Li by the Tang Dynasty, and later they were given the surname Zhao by the Song Dynasty. When Li Yuanhao established the country, he changed his surname to Weiming himself.

When Empress Dowager Liang heard this, she first showed a sweet smile on her face, which surprised Gan Qi. This woman was really not the same as a man in her work.

I heard from Empress Dowager Liang again: "I heard that Mr. Gan is twenty-nine years old this year, and woman is twenty-four years old this year. Speaking of which, Mr. Gan is the elder brother, and the younger woman is now the husband is dead early, and the orphan and widow are struggling to survive. The Song Dynasty has always ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness..."

Gan Qi directly raised his hand and interrupted: "Don't, don't do this, talk about serious business."

If this woman continues to say this, Gan Qi becomes a hooligan who kicks the widow's door at night.

Empress Dowager Liang's expression became sad. After a pause, she slowly said: "Gan Xianggong, the little woman invited Gan Xianggong to come today because she wanted to tell Gan Xianggong that the Dangxiang royal family had always had a surname Zhao, which was a surname given by the officials of the Song Dynasty."

This sentence is a bit straightforward and simple, which means that Dangxiang people are willing to be surnamed Zhao and are willing to accept the nominal jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty.

This widow was able to endure humiliation for life. She bowed down and surrendered to her posts. Gan Qi was surprised. Reciting her posts meant that the Dangxiang people no longer called the emperor. They had to accept the title of the Song Dynasty and would no longer have the country of Xixia. How could this not surprise Gan Qi?

If this is done, how can this widow convince the public within Dangxiang? She is not afraid of the rise of the crowd and rebellion?

Or, the Dangxiang people have now realized that Gan Qi is invincible? I realize that the situation is at a critical moment?

This was something Gan Qi had never expected before. He always regarded the Dangxiang people as a great enemy. Even when the war was not started, Zhong Shi and many Western troops continued to plunder the Dangxiang tribe, erode the Dangxiang territory, and squeezed the Dangxiang living space. Could it be that this pressure made the Dangxiang people feel suffocated and recognize the reality?

Gan Qi looked up at Empress Dowager Liang again. This problem was very troublesome. The situation in front of him was that people were willing to bow down and surrender, and you still had to beat him to death. This matter was inconsistent with the values ​​within the Song Dynasty court and also had conflicts with Gan Qi's external expansion strategy.

In Gan Qi's mind, this peace talk was absolutely impossible, and it was impossible no matter what, because his strategy was not a party, but also the vast Western Regions.

So Gan Qi said: "Dangxiang has long abandoned the Zhao family and established a country. Now he wants to go back. It is impossible. In the north and south of our Song Dynasty, there are countless tribes and foreign races. If we set a precedent and everyone will imitate the place where we are in vain, there will be endless troubles."

Gan Qi's meaning is also simple. Since you rebelled against the founding of the country, you have beaten the Song Dynasty several times to the point of being full of teeth. Now that you know it is powerful, you have bowed down and surrendered. If this is enough, what should everyone follow suit in the future?

Queen Mother Liang seemed to have expected Gan Qi to say this, and immediately replied: "Today, Emperor Dangxiang is here, and he can make a vow to announce to the world. From then on, Dangxiang's surname will be Zhao for generations, and will never change it."

Gan Qi smiled, looking at the tea and food on the table in front of him, but not eating and drinking. He thought he was cautious and said, "Offs and covenants are just for betrayal. Where can I make vows in this world for generations?"

Queen Mother Liang said again: "Gan Xianggong, the little woman comes today, with Dangxiang's greatest sincerity, and only wants to make a love for the Song Dynasty for generations. Does Gan Xianggong really have to raise an army to attack?"

This seems to be a plea, but in fact it has reached the point. The orphan and widowed mother surrendered together, and they didn't even want the national name. Gan Qi really wants to fight?

If you don't want to be too far away, Gan Qi will turn around and leave, just fight whatever he says.

But Ganqi still thought a little farther and refused to surrender? This is not a good precedent.

Gan Qi said: "I agree to three things, and I immediately retreated and left."

"Please tell me." Queen Mother Liang was a little excited.

"First, Dangxiang is attached to his family and farms, and he lives with me Song people in Hetao. Second, this child named Bingchang has to live in Bianliang. Third, Dangxiang's soldiers all took off their armor and returned to their fields and settled in Hetao."

Gan Qi was also straightforward. Only in this way can future troubles be solved and some benefits can be brought to Gan Qi. Two million Dangxiang people have farmed for Gan Qi, so the Hetao will be blocked into the south of the Yangtze River. In the future, whether the army goes west or north, they will not care about logistics supply at all.

If Dangxiang people can agree to these points, Ganqi is really willing to accept the peace.

Looking at the Dangxiang people on the other side, their faces have changed drastically.

Because this is a condition that the Dangxiang people cannot accept no matter what, they came here just to compete for a living space. When they were weak, they bowed down and worked hard to govern. They would always become stronger one day. Just like in history, they could be a hawk for the Tang Dynasty, or they could form a country in the Song Dynasty.

At this time, Empress Dowager Liang finally stopped reacting so calmly, and her eyes were always focused on Gan Qi.

"Gan Xianggong, you can destroy the country, but you can't destroy the seeds." Empress Dowager Liang said these words.

Gan Qi laughed: "What is Empress Dowager Liang saying? Did the original minister say that he wanted to destroy the seeds of Dangxiang? Aren't the one or two million Dangxiang people all living well? What's wrong with farming? Many Dangxiang people have already farmed for a living. Since they have returned to Song Dynasty, they naturally have to follow the arrangements of our Song Dynasty. If they cannot accept it, that's all, let's see you on the battlefield."

Empress Dowager Liang's expression suddenly felt a little resentful, and even his tone showed a bit of resentment: "Is Mr. Gan really so cruel?"

Where is this? This is not about getting divorced when you are in love, Gan Qi stood up and said, "Just talk about this, we will set up camp tonight and we will see the final decision on the battlefield tomorrow."

Gan Qi was so dark-hearted that he could tolerate any worries? Tonight they set up camp to give Dangxiang people time to run away overnight, so as not to leave a rumor that he would lure and kill Dangxiang Emperor in the name of peace.

Sometimes this kind of morality is still very useful, even the cruel and bloodthirsty Mongols will care about this. Those who directly open the city to surrender will be fine. Those who don’t open the city will kill all the money on the day the city is destroyed. This is one of the keys to fighting all the way to Europe.

Gan Qi will also use this point. In the future, if you are willing to surrender, don’t worry, as long as you follow the arrangements, you will have a good life.

This is also helpless, because the Western Regions are too far away. In this era without transportation and communication, the cost of conquest and governance is too high. Even if it is just a simple trip, it will take a year or two. Only this set is the most effective method.

Gan Qizhen just left the camp for the meeting, and turned his head east with a group of iron armor, and the army began to camp for the night.

From a distance, the Dangxiang people's camp was six or seven miles away, and between the two armies was the tent we had just met.

Gan Qi looked at which camp and waited for a long time, but he didn't see the Dangxiang people dismantling the middle camp. He knew something in his heart and said to Wang Shao, the military officer: "It seems that Dangxiang people want to talk about it again."

Wang Shao nodded: "If the tent is not opened, it means this. My husband is very smart. But the Dangxiang people cannot accept the conditions proposed by my husband. I think it is just bargaining."

"You said, am I still talking to them?" Gan Qi asked Wang Shao. Wang Shao is now the first person around Gan Qi who can be called a counselor.

Wang Shao thought about it and replied, "My husband, you can talk about it. As long as the Dangxiang people can accept the farming in their own way, this matter can be done. As long as the Dangxiang people lose their mouths, those noble royal families can also be grasped at will. It is not impossible to raise them in Guazhou. At that time, we will station the army at the Guyumen Pass, and those people will never be able to make waves. This will save a large battle from casualties."

Gan Qi looked at Wang Shao with a look of relief on his face, as if he was becoming more and more satisfied with Wang Shao, and said, "How about you go back to Tokyo with me after this battle?"

Gan Qi asked suddenly, and Wang Shao immediately began to think deeply. After a moment, Wang Shao spoke the truth: "My husband, the lower-ranking officials would rather lead troops in the northwest."

It’s true that there is a big strategy in the northwest. Here we really need a person who plans things, especially a person who knows the situation very well. Gan Qi used to think that there should be a smart person like Wang Shao to help him plan many things, so he wanted to bring Wang Shao back to Tokyo.

Gan Qi smiled and said, "You are straightforward, okay. Since you said that, I will naturally agree to you. There are many major events in the northwest, from the Western Regions to the North and the Grasslands to the North. There are many things you have here."

Wang Shao had already bowed: "I wish to devote my whole life to my family and country. I treat Shao like this. Shao Ming will be grateful to him for his country and will repay him with his country's talents!"

Wang Shao was obviously moved. There was such a boss who not only valued himself, but also respected himself. This kind of touch seemed to have received great recognition and kindness for people like Wang Shao.

That's how the word "honor" comes from.

Gan Qi didn't say much, and gradually became familiar with the way of using people. He just turned his head and returned to the central army's tent, and began to arrange the preparations for combat tonight. Gan Qi did not want to attack at night, but also had to beware of the Dangxiang people's in a hurry to jump over the wall and attack at night. So he had to prepare more plans and more methods of counterattack.

There was nothing to say overnight and the Dangxiang people did not retreat. Liang Yimian came in person again and asked the camp between Ganqi and the army to discuss matters again.

Gan Qi pretended to shirk a few times, reluctant to go there again. The drums in the army were loud, and there was no need to prevent any changes. Many cavalrymen stood up to wait, guarding against any actions that the Dangxiang people should not have done.

Gan Qi fought the horse and went to the camp between the two armies, but saw Liang Yi, who brought him, not going in, but heading back. There were not many Dangxiang guards around the military tent, which was completely different from the scene of the two guards who glared at each other yesterday.

Gan Qi was stunned for a moment, looked at the camp in front of him, and turned to ask Wang Shao: "Why are the Dangxiang people leaving? Are you not afraid that we will take the people in the camp in the camp? Is this a fraud?"

Wang Shao was also puzzled and looked around, not sure why.

But a woman walked out of the tent and walked to Gan Qima for blessing: "Gan Xianggong, the only one of my empress dowagers in the tent. The empress dowagers said that they would like to ask Gan Xianggong to come in and have a secret talk."
