Chapter 684 The agreement is initially decided

Whatever Renzong asked her to do, she would do it. Su Xiaoyou is a smart NV person. She knows that everything she has now comes from Renzong. If it weren't for the man in front of her, her father might still be in prison now, and life will be a problem after he comes out, let alone living such a glorious life.

This time, Su Xiaoyou already knew clearly why she lost to the princess of Xilan. Chen Shimei's attitude in it played a decisive role.

She and Chen Shimei have an ignorant alliance. Although the two of them have rarely contacted each other over the years, they did not contact them at that time, in order not to let others notice their previous relationship. Chen Shimei should be very clear that Xia Shu and herself are in the same alliance, and Xia Shu is helping her and Su Xiaoyou speak. Why did he object this time?

I think it was because of the deliberate distance between her and Chen Shimei in recent years that the relationship between the two became a little unfamiliar. Her father was doing some business in Chen Shimei's business association. At that time, Su Xiaoyou never let her father be too conspicuous.

It seems that when Chen Shimei comes back this time, she still needs to walk around. Renzong is already fifty and there is almost no chance to have another son. Zhao Shu is already fourteen years old this year. In order to ensure her stability in the second half of her life, Su Xiaoyou also needs to help Zhao Shu ascend the position of crown prince. In this regard, she needs Chen Shimei to support her.

The palace servant outside shouted: "Long live, long live the two princesses outside the hall."

Renzong's closed eyes suddenly opened, and he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm here, I know they will definitely come."

Su Xiaoyou took his hand away from Renzong: "Your Majesty, the princess came to visit you just after you came back. This shows that they have you, the father, in their hearts, and you should be happy."

Renzong shook his head slightly: "I know these two NVs of mine. The eldest princess must be here to find out about Li Wei's news. As for Yi'er, she is here to be a lobbyist for Yelu Hongji."

After Yelu Hongji was taken to Bianjing, Renzong did not even take him to parade. After entering the city, he strictly protected him until he entered the court. He had not yet thought about how to deal with Yelu Hongji. Because of this, those who were worried about Yelu Hongji's fate became frightened, such as Yelu Luling.

This time, Zhao Yi came to see him, for example, because he was entrusted by Yelu Luling to find out his own words.

Su Xiaoyou gave a little blessing: "Long live, I'll go down first."

Renzong did not let her go: "You don't need to avoid it. They are talking about family affairs. Just be here. I'm going to go to your place later."

Su Xiaoyou was secretly happy.

Li Wei has been sent to Goryeo by Chen Yuan. He took 20,000 Song troops as the vanguard of the Song Dynasty to Goryeo to report the funeral, and also ensured the stability of the situation in Goryeo so that Wang Hui's child could ascend to the position of King Goryeo.

Wen Yanbo also sent people to deal with the Liao people, hoping that Yelu Niegulu could return Wang Hui's body. Of course, this is not unconditional. The Liao people were not generous. Wen Yanbo was already prepared to exchange for five Liao generals captured by the Song army, and the conditions could even be higher.

Judging from the current situation, things are not too bad. The Song army wanted to call back Wang Hui's body and was willing to send a large number of troops to support the Koreans who were lucky enough to escape from the massacre that night. The pensions of more than 100,000 people were also reported to the court. Wen Yanbo promised all the vassal states that the Song Dynasty would never fail to fulfill its promise just because Wang Hui died.

This made other vassal states feel a little moved. Thinking of the Song Dynasty's sending troops to help Xilan and Peng Dan restore the country, those vassal states felt that the boss of the Song Dynasty was worthy of their followers. When Chen Yuan proposed to exist as a normal institution, those vassal states did not show much resistance.

Even the Sans and others were very active and asked to join this military alliance.

Chen Yuan was very clear about the current situation of the Assass and the others. The Seljuk Turks who had launched the Crusades in history have now attacked the Assass and the others. The old Roman sacred empire seemed to be full of vitality. All of this made Ass and the others feel uneasy, and at the same time, they want to make some money out in the anxiety.

They knew very well that apart from the war elephants that could scare people, they could not compete with the Seljuk Turks, whether it was the combat quality of the army or the weapons and equipment. That was why they boarded the chariot of the Song Dynasty.

Once they joined this alliance, they would fight the Turks themselves. If they could not defeat them, the Song army had the obligation to help them.

Chen Yuan and others have been working on the establishment of this alliance these days. Wen Yanbo also supports this plan very much. In his opinion, once the alliance is formed, those will be of great help to his Privy Councilor's future work.

Even though they knew what the Sans and the others were planning, Chen Yuan and Wen Yanbo did not refuse them. First, they signed a treaty of watch over and mutual assistance with Zhuluo, followed by Dali, Goryeo, Chameng, Tubo, Uighurs, etc.

The Javanese were rejected outside the alliance. The Song Dynasty fulfilled its promise to the Three Buddhas, and at the same time, for the sake of good looks, it did not pull the Three Buddhas into the alliance. Another person who did not join the alliance was Tsuma, because Chen Yuan was planning to incorporate that island country into the Song Dynasty and establish a sea defense system for the Song Dynasty based on the island chain that had not been attached to China in later generations.

It seems that there is no use now. At that time, Chen Yuan believed that with Zhang Kuangzheng's ocean, a new wave of maritime trade would inevitably be launched. Its arrival will promote the development of the navigation industry. One day after the era of maritime war comes, even if a country can challenge the Song Dynasty, this island chain will become the most powerful defense circle in the Song Dynasty and ensure the absolute security of the mainland.

Today, Wen Yanbo just signed an agreement with Jiāzhi. This is the last agreement of the Song Dynasty. There are thirteen countries in total. In addition to énggu, the neighbors on land basically joined this alliance.

The reason why éng ancients don’t sign because they are not considered a country.

Wen Yanbo looked at the pile of documents in front of him, with a smile on his face. The Goryeo people's miserable defeat had been thrown out by him: "Mr. Chen, once this treaty is signed, the next step we have to do is to let every country that has signed a treaty with us also enter into the same agreement. With this agreement, it will be much easier for us to deal with the country in the future."

Di Qing smiled beside him: "That's the case. No matter what the problem or the contradiction is, we can resolve it through negotiation. Although it takes a longer time, it is much better than fighting."

Wen Yanbo turned to look at Di Qing: "I thought you like war very much."

Di Qing did not explain anything to him. He was not himself who really liked to fight. In every war, countless brothers died in battle. This time, the Song Dynasty had 200,000 soldiers killed in battle. Seeing the names of these soldiers being written on the list of merits, every general felt comfortable.

Those who like war were Chen Shimei and the merchants. Since the war with Li Yuanhao, Di Qing felt a little strange. When did these guys become so generous? It was not until later that he realized that in which war, those merchants did not make a big profit?

Just look at the current Liao Kingdom. The merchants' workshops are built desperately, even faster than the speed of the government building. Di Qing has already seen Chen Yuan's plan very thoroughly. In the eyes of these merchants, the soldiers' lives are like ants. Although the scholars and officials despise military generals, they have at least one degree.

But the merchants did not, and they could sacrifice everything for their profits.

Di Qing was powerless to change this situation and did not want to change this situation. Do soldiers need to work hard? It doesn’t matter. In fact, this is just a matter of jiā. What soldiers sell for is life, as long as the price is high enough.

Seeing Di Qing silent, Chen Yuan thought he was angry by Wen Yanbo's words, and smiled and said, "General Di Qing is right. In the future, when we encounter disputes with the surrounding vassal states, we can bring them to the negotiating table, so that people like Master Wen who are well-read will have a place to use their skills. If anyone dares not come and dares to violate the agreement, we can call on everyone to beat him together."

Wen Yanbo laughed when he heard this. The literati was best at talking. No matter who he negotiated with, as long as the other party could understand human words, the literati had a way.

"But war still needs to be fought. The alliance has just been formed and the system is not perfect. Some people will definitely not accept it, or there are things we have not considered. Therefore, we must be fully prepared and ensure sufficient military force so that those people can obey our mediation."

Wen Yanbo also knew this truth, and nodded after hearing Chen Yuan's words: "Mr. Chen, you always feel that something is wrong with forming the ancient cavalry. We pay for the ancients to fight for us, but the ancients will inevitably become stronger and stronger in the battle. How do you guarantee that they will still listen to us in the future? If those people are attacked by other people, wouldn't it be very dangerous? Besides, one day we have no war to let them fight, what should we do?"

Chen Yuan scratched his head, and he was not sure that this problem would be successful, especially now that Murihe is still alive, which makes Chen Yuan's plan full of variables at any time. At that time, since he wanted to turn a wolf into a dog, he always had to risk being bitten by a wolf.

What's more, the Song army now does not even have the ability to attack the Liao Kingdom, and the ancient things are even more difficult to reach. At this time, even the best method is the most expedient.

While discussing this issue, the vigilant soldiers outside suddenly came in and said to the three of them: "Three masters, Zhang Ren, the envoy of Liao Kingdom, asked for a visit."

The three of them said at the same time: "What are he here to do?"
