Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 468

[Chapter 468]

Qin Guan.

The third day when Zhao Xu made up his mind.

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

The generals of the Dou family sent an emergency battle report to Dou Wei, and the soldiers and horses of the Dou family suffered heavy casualties.

If there is no more reinforcements, Wuguan will not be safe within ten days.

“Your Majesty, to resist Beidi at this moment, my Dou family has exhausted all Jingzhou soldiers and tried my best. If Wuguan is not protected, I hope the Emperor will not blame me.”

In the courtyard, Dou Wei knelt in front of Zhao Heng with a sad face.

This is the strategy he and Beidi secretly negotiated for the song.

The purpose is to force Zhao Heng to submit.

As far as he is concerned, the many conditions of the peace negotiation did not harm his Dou family in any way, but were beneficial.

It is natural to facilitate.

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

During this Northern Expedition, he intended to avenge the Third Prince.

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

Although the soldiers he gave to Dou Xiao were not the elite of the Dou family, they were always the soldiers of his Dou family.

Therefore, he does not want to be involved in a long war with Beidi again.

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

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

But before that, their Dou family had to put the third prince on the throne.

The fight with Beidi continued, and one hand of the Dou family was tied at Wuguan.

This is something he absolutely does not want to see. Compared with the two, he only wants to be safe at the moment.

Furthermore, it was in Beidi’s peace negotiation conditions that it was in his interest to let Beidi fight with King Yan.

In this way, both Beidi and King Yan will fall into the war quagmire of Ning Jindusi.

“What should I do?” Zhao Heng paced back and forth with a sad face.

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

Ordering the king of Yan to rush to aid Wuguan can solve the urgent need.

However, it is impossible for King Yan’s soldiers and horses to be stationed in Wuguan all the time.

The most important thing is that the war does not stop, and Da Song spends a huge amount of military pay every year to defend against Beidi.

And it may not be possible to win, if there is a mistake in one place, Da Song will be in crisis.

This is also the reason why Bei Di wanted to negotiate a peace, and he immediately agreed.

Compared with Beidi, Dasong is at a disadvantage.

Although Da Song was not completely defeated, King Yan won several big victories.

But he didn’t want to put Da Song’s fate on King Yan.

After all, if King Yan is strong enough to deal with Beidi alone, no one will be able to suppress him when he drives 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 aggression from Beidi, there will be a bloody storm in the country.

Thinking of this, he fixedly looked at Dou Wei.

He even felt that it might not be a bad thing for Beidi not to cease fighting on the front line of Yanzhou.

It’s just that he thought of King Yan’s warning to him again.

On the matter of negotiating peace, he really didn’t want to irritate King Yan.

Not to mention this decision is also difficult for a normal King Yan to accept.

What’s more, he couldn’t predict the extent to which his ninth son’s brain disease would heal.

If he made an extraordinary move, Da Song would be in chaos immediately.

“Difficult, really difficult.” Zhao Heng looked up to the sky and sighed.

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

While he was constantly struggling in his heart.

Ma Han arrived outside the courtyard, and after reporting, he came to Zhao Heng and Dou Wei.

“Your Majesty, His Highness King Yan sent a letter.” Ma Han said, presenting the envelope.

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

“King Yan really understands righteousness.” Zhao Heng was in a very happy mood.

In the letter, the King of Yan asked him not to be embarrassed, but to agree to the proposal of a non-stop war in Yanzhou.

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

It suddenly occurred to me how did King Yan know about this? He suddenly looked at Ma Han, knowing it in his heart.

However, he did not point out that it was enough for this negotiation to be successful.

After pondering for a while, he said to Ma Han: “You tell the people of Yan Wang, let him tell Yan Wang, I will find a way to send him a craftsman, but 100,000 is too much, 60,000, I can do it, but I will do my best.”

Compared to the peace talks, this craftsman seems insignificant.

Ma Han left in response, and Zhao Heng said to Dou Wei: “Go to see the Iron Wood Pagoda again, and tell them that I agree to their conditions, and from then on, I hope the two families will have a truce and good neighborliness and friendship.”

Dou Wei was shocked when he heard this, “Yes, Your Majesty, I am sending people to Xiangcheng.”

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

It was also a long table, two chairs, and the Tiemu Pagoda looked proud, “Prime Minister Dou, to put it bluntly, your praises are cheap, and you have to be beaten before you agree.”

Dou Wei looked embarrassed and coughed a few times He said, deliberately bypassing the topic, “Since the terms of the peace negotiation have been agreed, it is now time to discuss the withdrawal of our soldiers and horses from Xiaxian City to Wuguan.”

“When Ulanba comes back, they can go back. Take the opportunity to attack them.” Tiemu Tower knocked on the table.

“That’s very good.” Dou Wei nodded, and handed Zhao Heng’s signed and fingerprinted sheepskin scroll to Tiemu Pagoda.

“I’ll go back and hand it over to Khan.” Tie Muta got up to leave.

Now that the peace talks are over, there’s no need for him to stay here.

Although he intends to have some private deals with the Dou family, it doesn’t mean he likes Da Song people.

He had just taken two steps, and when he thought of something, he turned back again.

With an obscene smile on his face, he said, “Prime Minister Dou, which beautiful princess are you going to marry me?”

“This?” Dou Wei forcefully maintained the smile on his face.

Tiemu Tower’s arrogance made him very disgusted, but for the benefit of the Dou family, he could only hold his nose and bear it.

Turning his eyes, he suddenly thought of someone, “My Princess Dasong is beautiful, but in fact the most beautiful is the adopted daughter of Prince Chun, Princess Changle, who was almost engaged to King Yan back then.”

“Oh?” Tie Muta’s eyes narrowed immediately, “In that case, it’s her.”

Naturally, he knew that the princess whom he had been married to all along was most likely not the emperor’s own daughter.

Either the daughter of the clan, or the temporarily adopted daughter.

Therefore, he didn’t care if she was a real princess or not.

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

“I will naturally report back to the emperor for the request of King Tiemu Pagoda.” Dou Wei smiled lightly.

The princess of Changle often praised King Yan in the capital, which disliked him a long time ago.

So, he did it 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 concubine back then.

After sending off the Tiemu Pagoda, Dou Wei returned to Qinguan, reported the peace talks to Zhao Heng, and at the same time mentioned something about the Princess Changle.

Zhao Heng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was afraid that Beidi would be serious and insisted on a real princess, so he hurriedly agreed.

After the peace negotiation was settled, Zhao Heng stayed in Qinguan for another two days.

After Beidi sent Mu Lehongzhen’s signature and signature, and delivered the contract with his fingerprints, he drove back to Jinling.

But Dou Wei shied away from going 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.
