1240. Xixia seeks peace

The originally tense situation suddenly calmed down because the four major military regions were surrendered to the Song Dynasty.

After the four major army commanders overthrew the Song Dynasty, Gan became a front-line horseman, and was stationed in Helian City in Longzhou City and Qingchuan County. Qu Rujian's army confronted each other.

The soldiers of the Shuzhong Military Region in Chengdu Prefecture seemed to have become outsiders.

At this time, Yue Peng led the army and had not yet arrived in Tongchuan Mansion Road.

He was still on the way from Kuizhou Road to Tongchuanfu Road.

After receiving the news that the four major military commanders surrendered, he was a little hesitant.

In the current situation, there is actually no need for his army to go to Chengdu Prefecture again.

But because he thought about Zhao Dongting's explanations, he was worried that Zhao Dongting would make other arrangements. He did not choose to lead his army to return directly.

The Xianglong Military Region army no longer traveled to Chengdu Prefecture, but suddenly turned the road and went straight to Xixializhou East Road.

What the emperor wants is to threaten the imperial guards of Xixia to go to Lizhou East Road, which is also OK.

Time passed by several days soon.

She Tuoba, Tuoba Wu and others naturally intended to attack Heliancheng and Qu Rujian's army, but because the Chengdu Prefecture had never responded, they had to hold their troops unmoved.

If the Song Dynasty imperial guards were not helped, with their military strength, they would have been defeated by both sides with the Western Xia imperial guards. No one could predict what the situation would be.

Although the Song Dynasty accepted their surrender at the moment, who dared to conclude that the Song Dynasty would not destroy the bridge?

If they and the Empress's Imperial Army kill each other and suffer both defeats, the Song army will suddenly clean up the entire Xixia. Who can they reason with?

In troubled times, the only way to preserve strength is to preserve one's strength.

Although Zhongsun Guge was extremely reluctant to see Zhao Dongting again, after receiving the secret letter of peace asked for peace from Li Xiushu, he had to attack and see Zhao Dongting again.

This time, Zhao Dongting probably guessed his purpose.

When the eunuch reported to Zhao Dongting that the Western Xia ambassador Zhongsun Guge asked for a meeting, Zhao Dongting was in the bedroom.

He accompanied the girls and took Zhao An and the little guys Zhao Ru to play.

After hearing the eunuch's report, he chuckled and waved his hand and said, "Just say that I am busy with political affairs in this matter, let him come back another day."

The eunuch immediately walked outside.

Le Chan asked in confusion, "Why didn't the emperor see that Lord Zhongsun? Maybe there will be a turning point in our affairs between us?"

Of course she didn't want to see the two countries go to war.

Zhao Dongting put Zhao An in his arms on the ground and smiled and said, "Do you know what the situation is in Xixia and my Song Dynasty now?"

Le Chan looked at him in confusion.

Zhao Dongting said again: "In the Western Xia Dynasty, the military commanders such as Heishan Weifu surrendered to our Song Dynasty. Now, the Western Xia is in danger of protecting itself. In my opinion, Zhongsun Guge came to ask for a visit on this trip, and it is very likely that he wanted to seek peace from our Song Dynasty, because they no longer had the conditions to go to war with our Song Dynasty. Haha, let him go first, and I can negotiate conditions with them in the future. Fight whenever you say it, and be at peace when you say it. How can such a good thing be like this?"

Le Chan showed joy on her face, and then hesitated slightly, "What if Zhongsun Guge did not come for peace?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Even if it's not for peace, it's not a big deal for me to hang him away, right?"

Le Chan smiled and stopped asking about this matter.

Although she is the lord of the harem, this is not something she needs to worry about. When she asked just now, she was just a little curious.

The sun is scorching!

After playing with the little guys in the yard for a while, Zhao Dongting and Zhu Nu could not withstand the heat and returned to the room.

There are ice cubes taken from the ice cellar in the room, which is much cooler than outside.

However, the dignified Western Xia ambassador to Song Zhongsun Guge could only continue to wait at the inner gate of the palace with helplessness.

He asked the eunuch to report to Zhao Dongting again, saying that if he did not see Emperor Song today, he would stay in the palace and not leave.

Unfortunately, the eunuch never responded to him. The answer was to promise him to pass it on to the emperor, but afterwards, he couldn't even see the shadow.

There are only restless cicadas in the hot palace.

Zhongsun Guge was so sad.

He is already quite old, and even standing in the cool place under the scorching sun, he is dizzy even if he stands in the shade under the inner door for only a few hours.

But no news came from the palace.

It seems that Zhao Dongting made up his mind to not see him.

Zhongsun Guge knew the importance of seeking peace, and was angry, but he didn't dare to leave.

He is also a stubborn person.

Later, I don’t know what he was thinking, but he stopped hiding in the corridor and walked towards the scorching sun.

Soon I was sweating profusely.

Then in less than half an hour, the Western Xia ambassador to Song fainted outside the corridor.

My whole body was already like I was fished out of the water.

A guard hurriedly carried him into the house.

This incident of course alarmed Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting also felt that his posture was almost done, so he finally decided to meet Zhongsun Guge.

When Zhongsun Guge woke up in the room, he saw Zhao Dongting beside him.

Before he could speak, he heard Zhao Dongting say, "Mr. Zhongsun, why are you troubled? What is the important thing? Do you have to see me today?"

When Zhongsun Guge heard this, he almost fainted again.

He didn't believe that Zhao Dongting would not be able to infer why he was.

Although the emperor of the Song Kingdom is young, he is too cunning and scoundrel.

But no matter how angry he was, he would not dare to expose himself to Zhao Dongting.

All the bitterness can only be swallowed into one's own stomach.

He struggled to stand up from the bed, bowed to Zhao Dongting and said, "Zhongsun Guge came to the emperor on behalf of me, and wanted to ask Emperor Song to stop the army and quit the war."

"Stop the army?"

Zhao Dongting showed a rather surprised look, "My Song army has not gone to your Xixia territory, what are the words to stop the army?"

Zhongsun Guge was full of bitterness and knew that Zhao Dongting was pretending to be stupid.

Although the Song army and horses had not arrived in Xixia, it was not easy to gather troops in Chengdu Prefecture to seize Xixia?

He had no choice but to say clearly: "As long as your dynasty can not march into Xixia and not help the rebels of the four major military commands, our dynasty is willing to hand over the east and west Lizhou."

Zhao Dongting narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not answer.

Zhongsun Guge could only look at him.

After a while, Zhao Dongting suddenly spoke and said, "This is the end? This is the sincerity of your Xixia Empress? You should know that it is easy for me to take you Xixia now?"

Zhongsun Guge finally couldn't help but show a slight anger, "The Song Dynasty, Xixia has always been a friendly country. Do you even refuse to let us live in Xixia?"

Zhao Dongting sneered, "Ally, friendly countries! Then when your empress set out a lot of momentum to attack my Song Dynasty, why didn't she think that the Song Dynasty and Western Xia have always been friendly countries?"

Zhongsun Guge competed against each other, "That's also related to your actions?"

Zhao Dongting waved his hand, "If you come with such an attitude, there is no need to continue talking about it! If the two support each other, I will always help you with Xixia more, right?"

Zhongsun Guge was slightly stunned.

He had no way to refute Zhao Dongting's words.

Indeed, since the restoration of the Western Xia Kingdom, if it were not for the help of the Song Dynasty, the Empress would not have developed the Western Xia to what it is in such a short period of time.

Only he also understood that Emperor Song did not accept peace, because he felt that the conditions given by Xixia were not enough.

Of course he would not leave with a smile, so he had to lower his posture again and said, "Then, Emperor Song, what do you want to continue to maintain friendship with our Xixia?"

“It’s very simple!”

Zhao Dongting said lightly: "In fact, compared with those of the four major military departments who have no monarchy, I am certainly more willing to interact with the empress of the dynasty. Only the four major military departments surrender to our dynasty and are willing to bow to our dynasty in the future and help me pacify your imperial guards in the Western Xia. It is not necessary for the emperor of the dynasty to stand by and watch, but as for the premise, Lord Zhongsun, you don't need me to say it clearly, right?"

Zhongsun Guge changed color in panic.

Of course he knew what Zhao Dongting meant.

Emperor Song asked them to bow down to the Song Dynasty and surrender! Just like the four major military commanders against the Song Dynasty.

This alone is also the bottom line for the empress and the old ministers in the court.

How dare he agree?

For a moment, he really did not leave, nor did he stay.

After pondering for a while, Zhongsun Guge said again: "Can Emperor Song not be able to show his respect for our Xixia Net for his love for the emperor?"

The words "The Internet" between countries can also show how low his posture is at this time.
