Become a feudal king from today

"The emperor is at Qinguan, and I need to report these conditions to him. Read"

Dou Wei glanced at the imperial soldiers behind him with the corner of his eye.

Although in high spirits, with these soldiers staring, he couldn't show it.

Tiemuta nodded, "Tell Emperor Dasong that this peace negotiation, we Beidi did not lose, but the great Khan did not want to see the two countries fighting again, and the lives of the people were ruined."

"Your Majesty is merciful. You have the same consideration. We, Dasong, did not lose in this battle." Dou Weidao.

Naturally, he did not say this to Tiemu Pagoda, but to Zhao Heng, King Yan, the ministers in the court, and even the common people of Dasong.

They forced Beidi to negotiate a peace, but they had to sign this contract as if they were defeated.

When the news came out, he, Dou Wei, was going to be pointed at his spine and scolded.

Showing strength appropriately would at least save him from being criticized harshly.

Temuta had a sneer on his face.

He didn't think Beidi was defeated this time. They did suffer a setback in the east.

But Simeon, they won.

If it hadn't been for King Yan's trick to rescue Emperor Dasong.

They will definitely let Dasong perish under Beidi's cavalry.

The only reason for negotiating peace was that King Yan had completely annoyed them.

Unless King Yan is eliminated, it will be difficult to destroy Da Song.

Therefore, in addition to negotiating peace with the Dasong court and easing the situation on the front line from Xiliang to Jinzhou, he could free up his hands to focus on dealing with King Yan.

His father Khan also decided to take advantage of the conflict between the powerful clan and the royal family and take the opportunity to support the powerful clan.

It allowed the powerful clans in Dasong to suppress the royal family, and it also made King Yan uncomfortable within Dasong.

Of course, it would be even better if there was a force among these powerful families that could secretly join them like the Yuan family.

But he also knew that this was difficult.

The Dasong clan is different from Yuan Li. For the Dasong clan, it has been since the founding of the country.

This world is jointly governed by powerful clans and the royal family.

Dasong's country also has a part of them.

Although there are constant internal disputes, they will not let Beidi take over the Central Plains until all is exhausted.

After all, any one of them has the hope of replacing the Zhao royal family and becoming the world leader.

But the chance is small, which does not mean there is no chance at all.

They Beidi will keep trying.

Thinking of this, facing Dou Wei's scolding, he decided to give Dou Wei some face, so he chose to remain silent.

Seeing this, Dou Wei showed a hidden smile and took the opportunity to refute several contents of the contract.

Tiemuta was either silent or quarreling with Dou Wei.

After half an hour, the stalemate continued, and Dou Wei turned around and walked towards Qin Guan.

Climbing the city wall, he presented the parchment to Zhao Heng, "Your Majesty, these are the full conditions proposed by Beidi."

Zhao Heng unfolded the parchment, glanced at it briefly, and then his expression changed, "They in Beicheng first came to us to discuss peace, why are they so arrogant!"

"I also scolded them like this. In this battle, there were winners and losers. Why should Dasong pay an annual tribute of five million taels of silver to Beidi and declare a truce? The Yanzhou front line was not included. This is simply abominable." Dou Wei Filled with righteous indignation.

Zhao Heng asked him to come forward to see Tiemuta, no doubt wanting him to be stigmatized.

But Zhao Heng would never have thought that his Dou family had a private relationship with Tiemuta.

This peace negotiation was quite cooperative with him, which earned him a severe scolding.

Now, it is up to Zhao Heng himself whether to accept the terms of the peace negotiation.

When he thought of something, he added, "Tiemu Pagoda said that the five hundred and two-year-old tribute was promised to them by the emperor when he was in Xiancheng."

Zhao Heng's face was slightly red. Xiancheng was besieged at that time, and he had no other choice but to compromise with Beidi.

Now that Temuta brought this matter out, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

"It's not impossible for Beidi to ask for annual tribute, but five million taels is too much. You tell him to only give one million taels." Zhao Heng snorted.

When he was in Yancheng, Beidi's conditions included annual tribute.

He accepted it from the bottom of his heart, but he felt heartbroken when he actually paid so much money, so he wanted to bargain.

"As for Qinzhou and Yongzhou, I will cede them to them, but if they cause trouble in the northwest, I will not accept this condition again."

Ma Han was also on the city wall. Hearing this, he became furious and said, "Your Majesty, Qinzhou and Yongzhou are our great territories. How can we just cede them to them?"

"Hmph, it's not your Ma family's fault that Qinzhou and Yongzhou are like this. Am I wiping your Ma family's butt now, or am I saying that your Ma family has the ability to take back these two states." Zhao Heng snorted angrily.

In his heart, he always blamed the loss of Qinzhou and Yongzhou on the Ma family.

After the Ma Jin Rebellion, the Ma family declined completely, and he no longer feared the Ma family.

He would not pay attention to Ma Han's opinion on this cession.

Ma Han was immediately speechless, unable to refute Zhao Heng's accusation.

I was so angry that I could only swallow it.

But when he looked at Zhao Heng and Dou Wei, his eyes couldn't help but have a little more contempt.

"There is no problem with the two countries sending princesses to each other for marriage. When I return to the capital, I will choose a princess." Zhao Heng said.

Naturally, he would not choose his own daughter for marriage. This has been the case throughout the ages.

But a daughter of a clan is still necessary, otherwise it would be equivalent to humiliating the other party.

"A truce is a truce, why leave Yanzhou alone?" Beidi put forward many conditions.

However, the result of the peace negotiations was a truce in some places, which made him very dissatisfied.

"What Beidi Khan means is that he now has a personal enmity with King Yan. This is not against Da Song. It is just like the ruthless fighting between the private gangs. Even if they make peace, there are still gangs who will fight because of their personal hatred." Dou Wei said to Looking for a suitable reason for this condition proposed by Beidi.

Among the many conditions proposed by Beidi, except for the border market, this one excites him the most.

In this Northern Expedition, King Yan once again turned the tide, which will inevitably increase his reputation in Dasong.

The damage to the royal prestige caused by Zhao Heng's failure in the Northern Expedition will be made up for by King Yan's illustrious military exploits.

And this is something he definitely doesn't want to see.

Therefore, even if Beidi does not take action, after the peace negotiation, whether it is to pave the way for the third prince to ascend the throne in the future, or for the benefit of the powerful clan, he will unite with other families to further suppress King Yan.

Beidi's action was exactly what he wanted.

It is in his best interest that the two consume each other.

"It makes some sense, but if King Yan loses to Beidi, wouldn't Yan Pass be in danger?" Zhao Heng frowned, thinking of King Yan's reminder to him, he hesitated even more.

After thinking for a while, he said: "I won't agree to this for now."

Dou Wei did not continue to persuade. He knew that any further persuasion would arouse Zhao Heng's suspicion.

"The other one is the border market. Beidi requested to open a border market outside Wuguan." Dou Wei looked at Zhao Heng's expression.

"This is also a small matter. I can agree that you will compete with Ironwood Tower again, okay? Ma Han, you will go this time too." Zhao Heng waved his hand.

Regarding Beidi's peace terms, he mainly disagreed with the issues of annual tribute and truce.

Dou Weiyi made peace with the Lord. In his opinion, he might not be tough enough, so he asked Ma Han to go too this time.

The two men responded, turned around and walked down the city wall.

Immediately, he heard the faint sound of quarreling.

Not long after, Dou Weiyi looked depressed, and Ma Han came back with an angry look.

"Your Highness, Tiemuta has left. He said he would continue to attack Wuguan until His Majesty agrees." Dou Wei said.

Ma Han didn't speak, just nodded.

Zhao Heng's face looked a little ugly, as if he had some regrets.

However, he didn't say anything and walked down the city wall out of interest.

He still had a glimmer of luck, Beidi was just bluffing to scare him.

Wait and see.

Seeing Zhao Heng descending the city wall, Ma Han called Dian Zhang and secretly ordered him to send the news to Yancheng immediately.
