Become a feudal king from today

Qinguan.

The third day when Zhao Xu made up his mind.

News of the renewed war in Wuguan reached Qinguan, making Zhao Heng, who wanted to bargain with Beidi, anxious again.

The Dou family generals sent an urgent battle report to Dou Wei. The Dou family soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties.

If there are no more reinforcements, Wuguan will not be able to be defended within ten days.

"Your Majesty, we are currently resisting Beidi. We, the Dou family, have exhausted all the troops in Jingzhou and are doing our best. If Wuguan cannot be defended, I hope Your Majesty will not blame you."

In the courtyard, Dou Wei looked sad and knelt in front of Zhao Heng.

This was the plan he had secretly communicated with Beidi.

The purpose was to force Zhao Heng to submit.

For him, the many conditions of the peace negotiation did not harm his Dou family, but were beneficial.

Naturally, it must be facilitated.

On the contrary, it is not in the interests of other powerful clans to fight Beidi.

During this Northern Expedition, he had the intention of revenge for the third prince.

But in the end, the Dou family lost their troops and generals and suffered a big loss.

Although the soldiers and horses he gave Dou Xiao were not the elite of the Dou family, they were still soldiers of his Dou family.

Therefore, he did not want to get into a long-term war with Beidi.

Of course, he also knew that Beidi was always Beidi's enemy.

Even if the third prince ascends the throne in the future, he will still have to face this problem.

But before that, the Dou family had to help the third prince to the throne.

The fight with Beidi continued, and one of the Dou family's hands was tied up in Wuguan.

This is something he absolutely does not want to see. Compared with the two, he can only pursue the stability of the moment.

Furthermore, the terms of Beidi's peace negotiation were that it was in his interest to let Beidi fight with King Yan.

In this way, Beidi and King Yan will fall into the quagmire of war between Ningjin Dusi.

"What should we do?" Zhao Heng was pacing back and forth with a sad face.

If Wuguan is not protected, he will have trouble sleeping and eating even in Jinling.

Asking the King of Yan to rush to Wuguan to help him can solve the temporary emergency.

But it is impossible for King Yan's troops to be stationed in Wuguan all the time.

The most important thing is that as the war continues, Dasong will spend huge amounts of military pay to defend Beidi every year.

And it’s not necessarily possible to win. If something goes wrong, Dasong will be in crisis.

This was also the reason why he immediately agreed when Beidi wanted to negotiate peace.

Compared with Beidi, Dasong is at a disadvantage.

Although Dasong was not completely defeated, King Yan achieved several great victories.

But he didn't want to put all the fate of Da Song on King Yan.

After all, if King Yan is strong enough to deal with Beidi on his own, no one will be able to suppress him when he goes to the west in the future.

At that time, based on the relationship between King Yan and the powerful clan, I am afraid that even if there is no foreign invasion from Beidi, there will be a bloody storm in the country.

Thinking of this, he fixedly looked at Dou Wei.

He actually felt that it might not be a bad thing if Beidi did not cease fighting on the Yanzhou front line.

But he thought of King Yan's warning to him again.

Regarding the peace negotiation, he really didn't want to irritate King Yan.

Not to mention that this decision would be difficult for a normal King Yan to accept.

What's more, he couldn't predict how far his ninth son's brain disease would heal.

If he does something extraordinary, Dasong will be in chaos immediately.

"It's difficult, it's really difficult." Zhao Heng looked up to the sky and sighed.

He intended to let King Yan check the powerful clan, but he did not expect that King Yan and the powerful clan would also put him in a dilemma.

While he was constantly fighting in his heart.

Ma Han arrived outside the hospital. After the announcement, he came to Zhao Heng and Dou Wei.

"Your Majesty, His Highness King Yan sent someone to deliver a letter." Ma Han said, presenting the envelope.

Zhao Heng was startled for a moment, took out the letter and glanced at it, then relaxed.

"King Yan really understands justice." Zhao Heng was in a very happy mood.

In the letter, King Yan asked him not to be embarrassed and to agree to Yanzhou's proposal of non-truce on the front line.

At the same time, he also made a request, asking him to allocate 100,000 shipwrights to Yanzhou.

Suddenly I thought how did King Yan know about this? He suddenly looked at Ma Han and understood.

However, he did not point out that if the peace talks can be achieved, this is enough.

After pondering for a while, he said to Ma Han: "Tell King Yan's people to tell King Yan that I will find a way to allocate craftsmen to him, but one hundred thousand is too much. Sixty thousand, I can do it, but I will also try my best.”

Compared to negotiating peace, this craftsman seems insignificant.

Ma Han left in response, and Zhao Heng said to Dou Wei: "Go to see Tiemuta again and say that I agree to their conditions. From now on, I hope that the two families will have a truce and be good neighbors."

When Dou Wei heard this, he was shocked and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I am sending someone to Xiangcheng."

One day later, the Forbidden Army cavalry arrived at Xiangcheng, and the next day, the Iron Wood Pagoda arrived at Qinguan City again.

There is still a long table and two chairs. Tiemuta looked proud and said, "Prime Minister Dou, to put it bluntly, you are a scoundrel. You have to be beaten before you agree."

Dou Wei looked embarrassed, coughed several times, and deliberately avoided the topic, "Now that the peace terms have been agreed upon, we should now discuss the matter of withdrawing our troops and horses from Wuguan in Xiancheng."

"When Ulanba comes back, they can go back. We in Beidi have always kept our word and will not take the opportunity to attack them." Temuta knocked on the table.

"That's very good." Dou Wei nodded and handed the parchment signed and fingerprinted by Zhao Heng to Tiemuta.

"I'll go back and hand it over to the Khan." Temuta stood up to leave.

Now that the peace negotiation has been concluded, there is no need for him to stay here.

Although he intends to have some private dealings with the Dou family, it does not mean that he likes Da Songren.

After taking two steps, he thought of something and turned back.

With a lewd smile on his face, he said: "Prime Minister Dou, which beautiful princess are you planning to marry to me?"

"This?" Dou Wei forced to maintain the smile on his face.

Tiemuta's arrogance disgusted him, but for the benefit of the Dou family, he could only hold his nose and endure it.

Rolling his eyes, he suddenly thought of someone, "I, Princess Dasong, may be beautiful, but the most beautiful one is actually King Chun's adopted daughter, Princess Changle. Back then, Princess Changle almost got engaged to Prince Yan."

"Oh?" Temuta's eyes suddenly narrowed, "In that case, it's her."

He naturally knew that the princesses he always married were most likely not the emperor's biological daughters.

Either she is a daughter of the clan, or she is a temporarily adopted daughter.

Therefore, he doesn't care whether she is a real princess or not.

Dou Wei mentioned that the information about Princess Changle was what interested him the most.

"I will naturally report back to the Emperor of King Tiemupa's request." Dou Wei laughed softly.

The princess of Changle often praised King Yan in the capital, which had long displeased him.

Therefore, he did this on purpose.

It not only ruined Princess Changle, but also made King Yan uncomfortable.

After all, this woman who missed her family almost became his princess back then.

After seeing off Tiemu Pagoda, Dou Wei returned to Qinguan and reported the peace talks to Zhao Heng. At the same time, he mentioned the matter of Princess Changle.

Zhao Heng was relieved when he heard this. He was afraid that Beidi would be more serious and insisted on a real princess, so he hurriedly agreed to the matter.

After the peace talks were settled, Zhao Heng stayed at Qinguan for another two days.

After Beidi delivered the contract signed and fingerprinted by Mu Lehongzhen, he then drove back to Jinling.

Dou Wei, on the other hand, refused to go to Wuguan for inspection and did not go with Zhao Heng.

At the same time, an order was sent to Yancheng, ordering Zhao Xu to escort Ulanba to Qinguan.
