It was almost dusk when it arrived at the Qing Tomb. A red sun lay on the vast grassland to the west, emitting thousands of rays of rays of rays of light.

Yelu Renxian and Liu Liufu arrived in advance, stopped under the Qingzhong, and were nervous and dared not dismount. Although there was no one within a few miles, they knew that there was a large army of Dangxiang people wandering ten miles away. Those barbarians who had lost their country did not follow the rules. If one was not easy to rush out from, it would be difficult to predict life and death.

It was not until they saw Xu Ping's ceremonial war, that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Even though they had never had contact with each other before, Xu Duhu's reputation has always been good, and he never regrets what he said.

The two sides agreed to bring one thousand troops and the formation was arranged. Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan urged the horse to come forward and saw Yelu Renxian and Liu Liufu.

After the ceremony, Xu Ping said: "The king and the scholars have come from afar and have worked hard. We should have welcomed you, but before the military formation, it is a bit inconvenient, so don't blame it for being rude."

Yelu Renxian bowed: "This is originally a Khitan land, and the guardian is a guest, so I should welcome the guardian."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "It's too late today, let's rest. Tomorrow morning, a military tent will be set up between the two armies under this green tomb, and we will discuss in detail. - King, the two armies are fighting for the country, so there is no need to be nervous in private. Xu is a honest man. If you have a word, why do you have to take every word? It's boring, and you don't have to bring serious matters to private."

After saying that, he bowed his hand and returned with Fan Zhongyan.

Yelu Renxian looked at the backs of the two people and said angrily: "What kind of smart attacks are you fighting? Could it be that this is not the territory of your country a few months ago? No matter how nice it sounds, it is just a matter of using hundreds of thousands of troops to suppress people with their power!"

Liu Liufu whispered: "Hundreds of thousands of troops cannot be presented, otherwise why bother to talk about it? King, the conflict between interests between the two countries is not only the victory or defeat of the battle formation, but also the sharpness between the envoys!"

"I understand, the bachelor is right!" Yelu Ren nodded completely. The reason was to understand, but it was really hard to swallow. The Khitan had dealt countless times with the Song Dynasty, and this was the first time that he was at a disadvantage and was threatened by the other party with force.

Back at the camp, Xu Ping said to Fan Zhongyan: "It's hard to dream when you are long at night. Let's think about it carefully. What else are you who didn't expect before? This time I met the Khitan envoy, everything must be based on the oath of Chanzhou in Jingde time!"

Fan Zhongyan nodded, and the two of them got off the horse and returned to the tent to clean up, and returned to the tent together.

In the tent, Xu Ping had already ordered the preparation of food and drinks and lighted the lamp. Next to it, there was a "Oath" copied in large characters.

These two or three hundred words of "Oath" are the foundation of the decades of peace between the Song and Khitan. This is not a piece of waste paper, and it is a price to destroy the "Oath". Only when the benefits obtained are far greater than the price paid can this piece of paper be taken seriously. Obviously, there is no time yet. Whether for the Song Dynasty or the Khitan, the time is not ripe.

The contents of the "Oath" mainly include three: First, the Song Dynasty paid 200,000 pieces of silk and 100,000 taels of silver for the Khitan military every year; Second, everything in Chanzhou after the war was the same as before, that was to return to the pre-war state; Third, each defended the border and was not allowed to invade.

The most critical part of this negotiation is obviously the third article, that is, whether the Song Dynasty invaded the boundaries of the Khitan. Xu Ping refused to recognize that he was the territory he received from the Dangxiang people. If the Dangxiang people did not attack Fengzhou, he would rather leave an empty city there than send troops to attack. After all, the "Zhenzhou Oath" restricted the boundaries between the Song and the Khitan and could not control the boundaries with the Dangxiang. As for the calculation of Dangxiang as the territory of the Song Dynasty, it is even more nonsense, because the Khitan recognized Dangxiang's independence earlier than the Song Dynasty, which was the place where the Khitans were sorry for the Song Dynasty. As for the annual monies of 300,000 pieces of silk and silver, the name used in the "Oath" was military expenses, and the military expenses had to be calculated again after the battle this time.

The principle is this principle, but the negotiations between the two countries are not about gangsters and rasp numbers. Many words cannot be said very straightforwardly, otherwise even if the results are achieved, they will leave their laughter. Before coming here, Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan had discussed it many times, and tonight they were just checking the missing items.

Everything is planned, and if it is not planned, it will be abandoned. Xu Ping said this sentence countless times. In a subtle way, it began to affect officials in the court. It has become the habit of many officials to plan things, conduct exercises when conditions permit, and summarize them later. Fan Zhongyan slowly accepted this point, not only began to accept Xu Ping's thoughts and practices militarily, but also changed in the specific procedures for doing things.

The two discussed many times, not only planning for tomorrow's negotiations, but also conducting exercises. Someone came up with an idea, and the other person discussed from the other party's standpoint, and each detail was discussed several times.

It was already late at night. Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan confirmed their thoughts again, drank a glass of wine, and sat in the tent and closed their eyes to ponder. The war has been fought so far, and the benefits they have obtained must be fixed. Tomorrow's negotiations are as important as the next war.

After pondering for a while, Xu Ping got up, walked outside the tent, and silently looked at the tall green tomb under the moonlight.

A person's achievements must be judged by future generations, good or bad, merit or demerit, he is just a participant, not a judge. With the demise of Dangxiang, a new situation appeared in the northwest, and there was no more powerful enemy from Hexi to the Western Regions. While confronting the Khitan in the east, the Song Dynasty had an opportunity to explore the west and control the Western Regions again like the Han and Tang Dynasties.

No one in the court could resist this temptation. From Emperor Zhao Zhen to the ministers, his eyes were actually on several counties in Hexi. He couldn't wait to set a border with the Khitan, so he was just to concentrate his efforts to explore the west.

The comments of later generations on their achievements are posthumous titles for ministers such as Xu Ping, and for Zhao Zhen, they are temple names. What kind of posthumous titles and temple names are good? The "Post-Letter Book" is of course divided into three or six levels, but it has been a thousand years since the establishment of this system in the Han Dynasty, and posthumous titles and temple names have been linked to people. The temple names used by great emperors are good temple names for emperors, and the same principle is the posthumous titles for ministers. The "Post-Letter Book" is just a principle. The real posthumous posthumous titles actually come from predecessors, and the achievements can be compared with those of predecessors, thus obtaining the same posthumous titles.

After hundreds of years of Han Dynasty, only a few emperors who received the temple name were only a few. Liu Bang's Han Taizu and Emperor Wen's Han Taizong had become exclusive to the founding and successors in later generations, that is, the ancestors had merits and the clans had virtues. The emperors behind them could not think about it anymore. Other posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous

The green tomb in front of him was that after Emperor Xuan of Han fought east and west, surrendered the Xiongnu, defeated the Western Qiang, and surrounded the Western Regions, the empire could no longer continue its glory, but could only send a weak woman to marry him. Moreover, Wang Zhaojun stayed in the north for the rest of his life, followed the Hu Su, and never returned to the Central Plains for life. It may not be difficult to become strong in the country and suppress the four barbarians, but it is the most difficult to continue this glory and solve the hidden dangers of future generations to the greatest extent.

In this era, people's yearning for the achievements of the Han Dynasty was unimaginable in Xu Ping's previous life. Perhaps the feelings of Europeans for Rome at that time were barely comparable. Not only in the Song Dynasty, but also in the Khitan. The Khitan surname and the latter clan Xiao surname were the ones who admired the Han prime minister Xiao He, while the Han surname of the Yelu clan was Liu, and the Han surname was the Han Dynasty surname.

This green tomb made Xu Ping feel infinitely emotional because this weak woman and the land of Hu were a symbol of the division between prosperity and decline of the Western Han Dynasty. He might be able to help Zhao Zhen achieve his achievements in surpassing Emperor Wu of Han, and even surpassing the civilized rule, but how long can he last? He can't rely on decades to produce Zhongzong, and a Shizu, a Liezu, a Liezu, a Liezu, a hundred and hundreds of years. What's more, the last Liezu failed, and the most glorious time of his life was to be in a corner.

It is obviously useless to choose a system from the thousand-year history he knows and put it on the head of this era. If this approach is useful, hundreds of countries in his previous life had complete systems to learn, and every detail could be referenced. How many countries are there to make a name for themselves? Most of them are just a tiger but a tiger.

Only those weak people who have no choice but to go to Handan to learn to walk. Those who can truly make a name for themselves are learning from others, creating some based on their own reality, and finally creating a world of their own. This is the case with his previous life, this world is still the case with it, and the future is always unknown.

The history of a country is ultimately born from countless details. If the same historical events occur here, the same thing will not happen in another place. In history, Britain had "sheep eat people" and the Magna Carta appears, then it will never appear in the Song Dynasty. In the United States, the opposition between large manors and industry and commerce occurs, and the Civil War occurs, and there will never be such a thing in the Song Dynasty. In France, the Great Revolution occurred, and the Song Dynasty would not happen. In Tsarist Russia, the reform of Peter the Great, and eventually formed a dual opposition country, and the Song Dynasty would not be like this. Under the same conditions, facing the same difficulties, different events will inevitably be born in different places. This is the basic understanding of dialectics. A simple analogy makes the mistake of mechanicalism. Specific historical events actually do not have much reference for Xu Ping. What is valuable is the analysis of the causes of these events learned in previous lives.

Xu Ping is not a god. He cannot leave a set of rules for future generations that can ensure peace for thousands of years. It can only be done by countless people in this world working together. He doesn't know what must be right, but he knows that it is definitely wrong to be exactly the same as other countries he learned in his previous life. His own path will ultimately depend on people of this era to come out on their own.

What Xu Ping can provide is the basic principles of doing things and the solution to things. He also forms a culture and system of knowledge that he knows over thousands of years and continues.

Telling people in this era what capitalism is and to organize parliament. All of these things are far less useful than letting them form pre-plans, summarizing them afterwards, and performing various exercises as much as possible. Because those knowledge may not be of any use to this land and to the people on this land in this historical context.

People are not gods, and even if they come from a thousand years later, they cannot know what they will look like in a thousand years. The fact that you were a thousand years ago was like that, but because the protagonist was someone else for a long time, and being the protagonist himself must have another face.

A hundred years later, what would it be if someone else gave me a posthumous title? To put it bluntly, if you go to the temple name of the emperor, you will of course be trapped by civil officials and generals in your previous life. As a military general, it is nothing more than Wei Huo's merits, and as a civil servant, it is Xiao He and Chen Ping. If you have all the talents of civil and military talents, then you can only be Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang.

Xu Ping didn't know what he would be in the end, and just hoped that he would not exceed the scope of these people.
