Become a feudal king from today

"Why is the Prime Minister here?"

Qin Guan temporarily arrived at the hospital, Zhao Heng pretended to be surprised and looked at Dou Wei.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Dou Wei would be more anxious than anyone else when Beidi attacked Wuguan.

After all, those who died were all soldiers and horses of his Dou family.

"Wuguan is in danger, and I have to come. If Wuguan is lost, Dasong will no longer be able to live in peace. I didn't want to learn that Beidi wanted to negotiate peace with Dasong on the way, so I rushed to Qinguan and waited for the emperor."

Dou Wei tried his best to make his smile look natural.

He was quite annoyed now.

Beidi suddenly attacked Wuguan with all his strength, and the guard of Wuguan sent him twelve urgent battle reports.

After hearing the news, he dropped his chopsticks while eating and hurried to Jingzhou.

Although Beidi suddenly negotiated peace, the Dou family lost many soldiers and horses in the continuous attack on the city.

"That's it." Zhao Heng sneered in his heart.

Now he is very angry with Dou Wei and his like.

While in Yancheng, he learned that when he was trapped in Xiancheng, there was no movement in the capital.

As prime minister, Dou Wei was so indifferent to his life and death. What kind of thoughts did he have?

If Dou Wei were not the head of the Dou family, he really wanted to kill him right now.

But the one who chilled him the most was the eldest prince.

He ordered the eldest prince to supervise the country because he wanted to give him a chance to take over the East Palace.

And he, like Dou Wei and others, was afraid that they were looking forward to his death.

It is precisely because of the contrast between these arrogant people.

He felt that even though King Yan said those tough words to him, he was still much cuter than them.

"Since the prime minister is here, come and participate in this peace negotiation with me. You can go out of Qinguan on my behalf and meet the Beidi envoy at the foot of Qinguan." Zhao Heng said.

If it were any other minister, he would definitely change his face if he got this assignment.

The Beidi people are arrogant, which is not a good thing.

However, Dou Wei had some thoughts of his own when he came here in person.

So he pretended to be in trouble and said: "Your Majesty...this..."

"Only when the prime minister comes in person can I show the sincerity of my praise. Isn't negotiating peace with Beidi something the prime minister has always longed for?" Zhao Heng frowned slightly.

Dou Wei hesitated again, and finally said: "In this case, for the sake of singing the praises, I will leave this time."

Seeing this, Zhao Heng nodded with satisfaction.

Then he looked at Mahan.

After entering Sizhou, Ma Han caught him and escorted him to the foot of Qinguan.

"Mazhou Mu, where is Iron Wood Tower now?"

"Back to the emperor, the Iron Wood Pagoda is in Xiangcheng. He said that he would come to Qinguan again on the day of peace talks." Ma Han said.

Seeing Dou Wei, Ma Han's expression stiffened and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Dou Wei is afraid that he will not be able to escape the involvement in this drastic change in the Ma family.

However, now that he is the head of the Ma family, he can no longer act as willfully as before.

It is easy to kill Dou Wei now, but the Ma family can no longer bear another torment.

He could only suppress this hatred in his heart.

Quietly wait for the opportunity to recover the blood debt in the future.

Dou Wei naturally noticed Ma Han's expression, but he looked as usual and ignored it.

Because he knew that the more he said, the easier it would be to anger Ma Han.

Zhao Heng did not notice the secret eye contact between the two courtiers on the left and right.

He shouted to the horse: "Send someone to Xiangcheng immediately and ask Tiemuta to come to negotiate peace."

In response, Ma Han turned around and left.

Not long after, a group of cavalry came out from Qinguan and headed towards Xiangcheng.

One day later, the cavalry arrived in Xiangcheng.

Upon learning that Zhao Heng had arrived at Qinguan, Temuta immediately sent someone to send news to his father Khan.

Three days later, under the escort of 20,000 cavalry, Mule Hongzhen arrived in Xiangcheng.

"Remember our conditions, the first is to cede Qinzhou and Yongzhou, the second is to hand over Ulanba, the third is to make peace, but the most important thing is that the scope of our truce in Beidi is only from Jinzhou to the west On this front, Yanzhou is excluded from the peace negotiation," Mu Lehongzhen said.

After a pause, he said to Tiemuta, "Just say it bluntly, we have turned our feud with Da Song into friendship, but our relationship with King Yan is a personal enmity and is not included in this list."

Temuta nodded, "I understand."

Muller Hongzhen talked to Tiemuta about some peace negotiations before letting Tiemuta leave.

He was asked to send matters that he could not decide immediately back to Xiangcheng for him to decide.

Mule Hongzhen's face darkened as he watched Tiemuta leave.

This perfect plan to go south failed completely because of King Yan alone.

To the east, the Snow Wolf King's tent in Ulanba was completely wiped out, and only one-fifth of the remaining soldiers in the Black Iron King's tent were left.

King Yan's harassment of Ningjin Dusi caused them to lose a large number of cattle, sheep, war horses, and Dasong's young and strong slaves.

On the west side, although he was completely victorious, Ma Jin and others also lost more than 100,000 people in Xiliang.

In the battle at Yongzhou in Beidi, they besieged Xiancheng and Wuguan, resulting in more than 70,000 casualties.

This debt must all be placed on King Yan’s head.

Therefore, he made up his mind to negotiate peace with the Dasong court and concentrate all his efforts on King Yan.

"King Yan, the fate of King Wuzi is your fate." A cold light flashed in Mule Hongzhen's eyes.

After a day's trek, the Iron Wood Pagoda arrived at the foot of Qinguan the next day.

It seemed that he was informed of his arrival in advance.

A table and two stools had already been set up outside the Qinguan City Gate.

Seeing him arriving, not long after an official came out of Qinguan, escorted by a group of Dasong Imperial Army.

He recognized this person, but he was Dou Wei, the prime minister of Dasong.

Thinking of his cooperation with the Dou family in the battle of Jinzhou, a smile appeared on Tiemuta's lips.

The hostility in his body immediately dissipated a lot.

To him, Dou Wei could be the target of Beidi's wooing.

"Prime Minister Dou." Tiemuta pointed to the chair opposite and motioned for Dou Wei to sit down.

"King Iron Wood Pagoda." Dou Wei cupped his hand.

Sitting down opposite each other, Tiemuta spread a sheepskin scroll on the table, "Prime Minister Dou, such a noble person, came to negotiate peace in person. It seems that Emperor Dasong is very sincere. These are our conditions in Beidi. In fact, we have already conveyed them to you last time." Your emperor."

Although Dou Wei had his own thoughts, Zhao Heng was watching him from the top of Qinguan City.

He decided to deal with the peace negotiations first.

Looking at the contents on the sheepskin, Dou Wei couldn't help but feel happy.

The conditions in Beidi this time were not harsh at all for Da Song.

Ulanba was exchanged for the remaining Dasong soldiers and horses in Xiancheng, which was a good deal.

Qinzhou and Yongzhou were already occupied by Xiliang. After this defeat, it was impossible for them to raise troops to take them back.

There is no difference between ceding and not ceding.

Regarding the marriage, Beidi and Dasong exchanged princesses for marriage, which was not aggrieved.

He continued to look down, and the fourth article actually asked Dasong to set up a border market in Wuguan.

This is simply giving money to their Dou family.

Looking at Tiemu Pagoda, he found that Tiemu Pagoda was also looking at him with ambiguous eyes.

There is also a fifth article below, which requires Dasong to pay an annual tribute of five million taels.

Articles 6 and 7 are all trivial matters, such as asking Dasong to return the captured Beidi soldiers and so on.

As for the most critical thing at the end, that is, the scope of the truce does not include the Yanzhou line.

Dou Wei's heart beat unexpectedly.

The terms of this peace negotiation are completely beneficial to the Dou family and the powerful clan.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind.
