In the first year of Yuanyou in the Song Dynasty, in the first year of Yizhiping in the Western Xia Dynasty, in the first month of Xinmao (the seventh day of the first lunar month).

The capital of Xixia, Xingqing Prefecture, and the inner sleeping in the imperial city.

Empress Dowager Liang sat in the curtain with her young little soldiers in her arms.

In the bedroom in front of her, Yu Zang Huama, Yu Zang Shun'an and his son, as well as several powerful figures from the Wei Ming family and the leaders of several major tribes, sitting right in front of him.

They all held a copy of the copy in their hands, which was the content of the peace treaty sent back from Bianjing three days ago.

The powerful people in Xixia looked at the peace terms in their hands and their faces kept changing.

The first one is nothing important, it is just a false story.

This second one is to be funny.

The Nanman Xu Qing salt was sold in Shaanxi. In exchange, the Nanman's salt should also be sold in Dabaigao.

The green salt of the Great Bai Gao Kingdom is composed of rock salt from Wuchi, Baichi, Guazhou, Shazhou, Liangzhou and other places. It is cheap and almost inexhaustible.

Price war?

When did Dabai Gaoguo have ever been afraid of price wars?

Before and after the founding of Taizu, the Qingyan from Dabai Gaoguo was sold to the Southern Barbarians and Shaanxi and other places, and the fight made the Southern Barbarians' salt unable to raise their heads.

So the Southern Barbarians were so angry that they forbidden to import green salt.

Even so, as long as the border market is opened, Qingyan can always sweep the markets in Shaanxi, Hedong and other places through smuggling.

Therefore, in the eyes of these powerful people, this is giving them money.

The major nobles who were in charge of Wuchi and Baichi even narrowed their eyes and drooled, as if they had seen countless copper coins and silk flowing into their hands.

Let them make a fortune!

that is……

This third item...

The Great White Kingdom needs to exchange gold and silver for Jiaozi of the Southern Barbarians.

Moreover, the purity and weight of the gold and silver we sent can only be determined by the Nanman!

The most unpleasant thing is that the Southern Barbarians actually asked that the gold and silver sent by the Dabai Gaoguo must be in the name of worship!

They gave Jiaozi of Dabai Gaoguo in the name of "given". (The final peace terms naturally need to be polished, and Xing Shu naturally could not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the text. Therefore, the third article of the final peace was turned into the gold and silver of the Western Xia to enter the Song Dynasty and was called "committed". The Jiaozi of the Song Dynasty traded was considered "given", turning the transaction into a traditional form of tribute. Others were traded by the Song and Liao Jiaozi, which was sent to use in the form of a letter of state. Although the Western Xia had the right to use it, the goods they purchased were actually restricted. They could only buy goods provided by suppliers designated by the Song Dynasty).

Moreover, this article is not allowed to be negotiated or discussed.

This made many people dissatisfied.

"Empress, this Southern Barbarians are too bullying!" said a famous sect king of a wise master: "I think the first two words can be agreed."

"But the third one is absolutely not possible!"

"Otherwise, the national standards of Dabai Gaoguo will be damaged."

Some powerful people from famous wei nodded: "Yes, yes..."

"The Beilu trade jiaozi can be issued in annual monies."

"Why do I have to give the Southern Barbarians gold and silver?"

"The peace agreement reached between Emperor Jingzong and the Southern Barbarians, but stipulated that the Southern Barbarians would give our country a year of 72,000 taels of silver, 153,000 pieces of silk, and 30,000 kilograms of tea, which is worth one million jin. Our country does not seek as much as the Northern Barbarians, but it is reasonable to exchange this annual gift of 1 million jin for a dealer?"

Facing the chatter of these people, Queen Mother Liang in the curtain coughed gently.

Yu Zang Huama immediately understood, and he stood up and said, "Everyone, don't forget that the Prime Minister is now leading a large army."

"We can talk, and the Prime Minister can talk too."

"If... the Prime Minister knows the content of the peace agreement and agrees..."

He looked at the nobles present. In the past three days, Yu Zang Huama had been running around and contacting the kings and leaders of the Wei Ming family in Xingqing Prefecture and around him. Those who could come here were people who had more or less rifts with Liang Yibi.

When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt a stern, and their necks were cold.

really!

If Xingqing Prefecture refuses the peace clause issued by the Southern Barbarians, if the Prime Minister Liang Yibu of the State Councilor hears the news, he will agree.

Once Liang Yiji is like this, he will use the benefits obtained from this peace negotiation to win over, bribe and control the army.

Then he returned to the court with the merit of "forced the Southern Barbarians".

So, where do they have a foothold?

So, they all closed their mouths.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Liang closed her eyes and said, "Since all the officials have no objection, I will send someone to inform the Nanman and agree to the peace!"

Liang Yibi's army has been away for a long time.

In the past ten days, no useful news has been sent back to the Nanmu Association.

Every time Liang Yibi sent someone back, he only urged food, livestock and weapons.

But he never mentioned the progress of the army, let alone when he would retreat.

It makes people confused about what he is doing?

What made Queen Mother Liang even more nervous was that these things happened after her brother knew that she had sent envoys to the Southern Barbarians and Northern Barbarians.

Queen Mother Liang knew that her brother was definitely not an indecisive person.

Either don't do it or do it absolutely.

Last year, a coup was launched, Bingchang was poisoned and Bingchang was purged, and many Ren families were uprooted.

All of them are done under the leadership of the brother.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Liang was really afraid that his brother would come back and settle the score with her.

By that time, she, the empress dowager, might even be under house arrest.

And now if these people in front of her do not surrender, they will all die!

Therefore, the peace agreement between Empress Liang knew that she had no choice and had to agree.

And the faster the better!

She needs to race against time!

She needs to win this victory before her brother.

Then, you are qualified to play and negotiate with your brother.

...

Liang Yibi rode his horse on Zuli Mountain (now Huajialing) opposite Maxian Mountain.

He looked into the distance at the Nanman Village Fortress at the foot of the Mazhi Mountain in the distance.

It was a strong city built on the exit of the valley.

Its former name was Fanchuanhui, but now it is called "Huichuan".

In the wide river valley area in front of Huichuan Village, a group of hundreds of Southern Barbarians were spreading along the river valley road. They seemed to have rushed out of a forest. After they appeared, they immediately rushed towards a Dabai Gaoguo baggage team advancing along the Fanchuan River.

Seeing the Southern Barbarians attacking, Ding Zhuang, who was in the baggage team, screamed and drove away the livestock, rolled and crawled, and fled to the Dabaigao National Village Fort on a hill on the bank of the Fanchuan River.

The soldiers and horses of the Southern Barbarians followed closely behind and chased them hard.

But they did not pursue them deeply, and they stopped chasing for only more than ten miles. Then, under the cover of cavalry, their infantry began to plunder what the young and strong had left behind.

Whether it is arrows, food, or thrown away livestock or carts.

They want everything!

After they cleaned the battlefield, they carried the spoils and hurriedly retreated slowly under the cover of cavalry.

Seeing all this, Liang Yiqi closed his eyes.

This is why his army suddenly fought in Dingxi City, but he was unable to take down the small Dingxi City.

The war was no longer limited to Dingxi half a month ago.

Instead, it walked along the direction of Mazhi Mountain and opened on the border of Songxia, which is a hundred miles long.

Especially the main force of the Nanman Xihe River appears in Kangu, Ruzhe, and Huichuanhou.

These soldiers did not directly support Dingxi City.

Instead, it unfolds on both sides of Dingxi City, especially attacking from various fortresses in Baili Maxian Mountain.

Here, they are the offensive side and the proactive side.

The Song and Xia wars have lasted for a long time.

Since the Dabai Gaoguo lost Lanzhou, in order to defend against the Southern Barbarian cavalry, he attacked core areas such as Tiandu Mountain and Roulang Mountain with Lanzhou as the starting point.

The Great Kingdom of Dabai was also building a line of defense along the Mazhi Mountain.

As a result, in just a few years, the two countries built hundreds of large and small villages on the border.
