Where is the territory ruled by the former Tian Khan now? Where are the people? The Khans who once respectfully called the Emperor of the Central Plains Tian Khan, Khan, immediately turned into tigers and wolves when the Central Plains were weak and took a bite. This title might be very tempted by someone else. But for Duan Mingyu, it is not worth it.

Just imagine. If this is really done, then the future emperors of the Khitan, their civil and military, and their people, will always regard the title of "child emperor" as a great humiliation. Whenever they have the chance, they will provoke war again. Every Khitan crown prince, from the day he was established as crown prince, his greatest wish in his life would probably be to defeat the Tang Kingdom and remove his humiliated title.

The heroes, no one who is not a person who can bend and stretch. They can endure all the humiliation that ordinary people cannot bear. They sleep on firewood and taste gall to wait for all the opportunities to make a comeback. Goujian even gave his wife to his enemy to warm the bed and eat his enemy's feces. What is the final result? I promised these meaningless things. It was just helping the Khitan establish the goal of always taking the Tang people as an enemy.

Duan Mingyu saw it very clearly. It was tantamount to establishing two countries for one day. It would be a feud.

If the land lost by the ancestors is not capable of taking it back, the descendants of later generations can put aside their disregard and pretend to be deaf and dumb. But the title of "child emperor" that is directly added to him is how to escape and endure it. Only the best-quality Shi Jingtang in his previous life will be shameless to this state.

The negotiations between the two sides became more and more frequent. Yelu Deguang refused to make any more concessions. Duan Mingyu felt that it was necessary to use force to knock and knock the Khitan, who was still illusory, sobered up. One day, Duan Mingyu launched an attack on Yelu Deguang's camp and also launched an attack on Youzhou City at the same time. Li Cunxu personally commanded and pulled out a larger camp in Yelu Deguang's military camp. Yelu Deguang was shocked and finally began to face up to the terms of peace talks that they could not avoid: ceding land.

For the Khitan, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is not only military. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is the main agricultural area of ​​the Khitan. The well-use of the Khitan Kingdom is generally the same as the Jiangnan's effect on the Tang Kingdom. At the same time, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are the area bordering the Tang Kingdom. This is an important channel for the Khitan Kingdom to absorb the culture of the Central Plains and integrate into the Central Plains economy. If the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun Change hands, the Khitan people will return to the nomadic life of living through water and grass. The political system of the feudal empire will be difficult to maintain. The Khitan, which has just flourished in economic and cultural terms, will go up and down from then on.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are equivalent to the economic lifeline and political foundation of the Khitan. Now Duan Mingyu takes advantage of the death of the Khitan emperor. The Khitan political arena urgently needs to be reshuffled. Military failure. The second prince with the most hope of becoming a leader is trapped. He forced Yelu Deguang to cede the seven states in front of the mountain. How could he not hate him in his heart?

All discussions are to be decided. Yelu Deguang wanted to sign a letter of state with Duan Mingyu. Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty Li Ye gave Duan Mingyu a lot of power. Naturally, he was qualified to sign a letter of state. Yelu Abaoji died. Once Yelu Deguang returned to Shangjing, he would definitely be able to overthrow the eldest prince Yelu Bei and become the new king. Moreover, Yelu Deguang now has military power in his hands. The regime's mother later said that Empress Luping must support him. Therefore, this letter of state is all due to legal benefits.

Yelu Deguang had known that cede land was a fact. The reason why he had been using excuses to delay it was just to delay it until the cold winter began. The six states in front of the mountain had fallen into the hands of the Tang army. This land would never come back. However, Youzhou, located in the center of the seven states in front of the mountain, is still in the hands of the Khitan. This is worth pondering. Yelu Deguang added a letter to the letter of state. The six states in front of the mountain can be ceded to the Tang State. Yelu Deguang can also withdraw troops and no longer interfere. But Youzhou cannot be cheap. Duan Mingyu. If Duan Mingyu conquered Youzhou before the spring of next year, then Youzhou can be ceded to the Tang State. If it cannot be fought before the spring of next year, Humph, then Tang State can only obtain six states this time. Youzhou can still be in the hands of the Khitans. Duan Mingyu must also withdraw troops. Then this Northern Expedition cannot be completed.

Duan Mingyu smiled faintly at Yelu Deguang and bowed, "Please sit in."

Everything has been agreed upon. Even the content of the letter of state has been pondered word by word by word. There is no need to discuss it anymore. It is just taken to sign the temporary highest representative of both sides on the spot and use a seal.

What Duan Mingyu wants is the seven states in front of the mountain, the sixteen states in front of the mountain, the nine states behind the mountain, and the sixteen states in total. The seven states in front of the mountain guard the Great Wall line of Yanshan and the northern branch of the Taihang Mountains. The fertile fields are thousands of miles away. The mountains are bounded in the north, and there are dangerous barriers in the mountains. It is a natural barrier that separates the Han area of ​​the Central Plains from the northern nomadic areas. The strategic location is the most important. It is the northern gate of the Central Plains. The commander stations troops and guards the dangerous obstacles. The army does not dare to shepherd the south. If you lose the Youji states, then all the lands of thousands of miles must respond to the enemy. Thousands of miles are plains. Then the Central Plains will always be uneasy. Duan Mingyu believes that he will be able to take Youzhou for 400,000 yuan before the spring. He breathed a long sigh. Now, the merits are finally fulfilled.

But Yelu Deguang firmly believed that Yelu Feng would definitely guard Yanjing City until the beginning of spring. Yelu Feng's ability was not inferior to himself. He had this confidence.

Winter is here. There are less than two months left. The two sides have temporarily decided this. The war was led by the Tang State. Therefore, the peace agreement is based on the reign of the Tang State. Duan Mingyu and Yelu Deguang each held the peace agreement in their hands and slowly climbed up to build a high platform. The eaves of the Great Hall were higher than the eaves of the Great Hall. On the left step were the Khitan Pishi Army guards. On the left step were the guards of the Shence Army of the Tang State. On the high platform, there were incense tables and red felts. Except for the two, there were no one else. The civil and military ministers of both countries stood respectfully in the audience. Only the living servants of the two countries surrendered to the third level.

Yelu Deguang held the peace agreement in his hand, his face was pale and looked at everything visible in front of him. Soon, the surname Tang was coming here. He had to stop and lead his subjects away from here. Perhaps... he would never come back.

Duan Mingyu coughed lightly and said, "The Second Prince...don't recite the oath?"

Yelu Deguang sneered and said, "Duan Mingyu. You have fulfilled your wish today. A family will definitely want you to repay it twice as much in the future."

The two of them stood in front of the incense table with a peaceful agreement in their hands. They looked cold and looked squinting. They looked like they were praying to heaven and earth solemnly in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the two countries below.

Duan Mingyu was silent for a while and sighed: "If the two countries change their places, what would the second prince do?"

Yelu Deguang was a great man of a generation. When he thought about it, his indignation was relieved a lot. He said, "You carry your pong to survive the danger and force me to cede the land. People in the Central Plains should have a good life to fight. My son deserves to sleep in the open air and live in the open air and grass. For generations, how can grandchildren be miserable and poor?"

Duan Mingyu looked at the magnificent palace of the Great Hall and said sadly: "What can I say? Are sentient beings equal? ​​In the eyes of the Buddha who always says that sentient beings are equal, there are also the three good paths of heaven, man, and Asura; the three evil paths of animals, hungry ghosts, and hell. There are three upper, middle and lower levels of good and evil. What's more, you and I are just mortals. Who has great supernatural powers and cares about everyone. It is my Tang Kingdom. People from the north and south, people from the west and east, people from the Chengzhuoshan Village. They are also people of the Tang Dynasty. How can you live in a beautiful place and enjoy a glorious life?"

Duan Mingyu said again: "I will not take Youyan today. The Khitan will never be satisfied with having Youyan in the future. If there is no Youyan, the Tang Dynasty will have a flat horse and no danger to take. Even if the poor and redundant soldiers are used, they will not be able to defend themselves."
