Chapter 464 Zhao Xu's Decision

"You go back to Wuguan immediately, send someone to contact the Beidi people, and say that in order to reach a peace agreement, our Dou family is willing to play a show with Beidi, so, so..."

Zhao Heng left, and Dou Wei also went down the city wall. He immediately called the children of the Dou family who came with him. read

"Yes, Master." The children of the Dou family nodded frequently.

He responded, turned and left.

After the Dou family children left, Dou Wei's eyes narrowed.

When Beidi fought against Wuguan, it was a real fight.

The casualties among the Dou family's children were real.

When Tiemuta mentioned that he would continue to attack Wuguan, his heart seemed to be stabbed instantly, and he blinked at Dou Wei anxiously.

When Ma Han asked about it at the time, he only said that he was blinded by sand.

So as soon as he got to the city wall, he couldn't wait to send people back to Wuguan.

"The third prince has ascended the throne. This world belongs to my Dou family. How can our Dou family be harmed by a King of Yan?" Dou Wei murmured.

Now, he has regarded Dasong as his private property.

In his eyes, Zhao Heng was just the person who looked after the throne for his Dou family.

It would be best if King Yan and Beidi could both suffer losses.

If he can't, and it's just one side, he will try his best to get rid of it...

While he was thinking about it, Tiemuta and his party headed towards Xiangcheng.

One day later, when he arrived in Xiangcheng, he told Mule Hongzhen about the peace negotiations.

"Hmph, the most important thing is the battle between Sui Gong and King Yan. How can we allow bargaining? In this case, we will continue to attack Wuguan." Mule Hongzhen said.

For him, the best strategy at the moment is to concentrate all his efforts on King Yan.

But if Emperor Dasong does not agree, the war will have to continue.

In this Northern Expedition, he must not return empty-handed.

And by doing this, he also put more pressure on the Dou family.

If the Dou family did not want to be involved in the war and lose all their wealth, they had to contribute to the peace negotiation.

They Beidi can support his Dou family through border markets, or they can destroy his Dou family.

Thinking of this, he asked: "What did Dou Wei say?"

"The second time, Emperor Dasong sent Ma Han to accompany Dou Wei. Although Dou Wei couldn't speak directly, the look in the child's eyes suggested that he would try his best to facilitate the matter." Tiemuta said.

Mule Hongzhen nodded, "If so, maybe the Dou family will send someone to contact us privately during this attack on Wuguan. Whether this peace negotiation can succeed depends on the Dou family."

Sure enough, three days later, news came from the Beidi camp in Wuguan.

"The Dou family claimed that they did not want to fight with Beidi, and asked the Khan to attack Wuguan with greater force, but not to fight to the death. The Dou family would claim that they could not hold on and force Emperor Dasong." Beidi cavalry said.

"Father Khan is really clever." Tiemuta laughed loudly when he heard this.

There was a smile on Mule Hongzhen's lips. This was why he attacked Wuguan instead of Qinguan.

Once he threatens Wuguan, Emperor Dasong will have trouble sleeping and eating.

Secondly, Tiemuta learned a lot about the Dou family when he went to Jinling.

In addition, the Dou family had private contact with Beidi.

He concluded that Dou Wei and Emperor Dasong were definitely not of the same mind, and they might be able to use them together at a critical moment.

"Just do as they say." Mullerhonzhen said, "Whether the peace negotiation can succeed or not depends on these few days."

…

at the same time.

Yancheng.

The cavalry sent by Mahan arrived here.

Zhao Xu, who was discussing with officials and generals in the palace hall about the construction of the seven counties of Yanzhou and the restructuring of the royal family's army after the war, temporarily stopped the discussion.

"The truce does not include the Yanzhou front line?" Zhao Xu frowned.

The Ma family cavalry nodded, "Beidi's reason is that they have a personal enmity with His Highness."

"Private feud? What a joke. Your Highness is the prince of Dasong. He is fulfilling the responsibilities of Fanping Dasong in Yanzhou. Any war is a public war. How can there be any private vendetta? This is just Beidi's sophistry." Liu Fu sneered. . "

"I don't understand this, but Beidi threatens to continue attacking Wuguan if the emperor doesn't agree," the cavalryman said again.

After hearing this, Chang Wei pondered for a while and said: "Your Highness, if the war in the northwest continues, your Highness will be involved sooner or later. Instead of going to Wuguan to fight the Beidi people, it is better to rely on the fortresses along the Yanshan Mountains and Yanguan to defend against the enemy."

"That's right, the Northern Expedition was fought so cowardly because these powerful tribes were holding us back. The general didn't want to go to Wuguan to fight the Beidi people and had to guard against them." Qin Shan glanced at his lips.

Bai Shang smiled and said: "As the general said, a private feud is a private feud. The general has not captured enough in Ningjin Dusi. If there is a truce, it will be difficult to take action."

After he finished speaking, the other generals laughed.

Bai Shang has gained a lot this time.

More than 100,000 cattle, sheep, and horses were snatched from Ningjin Dusi.

If the merchant ship of the Chamber of Commerce had not been used to transport it back, the Chrysanthemum Island would not be able to hold it.

There are also more than 30,000 young and strong people in Dasong who were rescued.

"According to my official opinion, the emperor is afraid that he will agree to this matter. After all, Wuguan is in the hands of the Dou family. Dou We will definitely try his best to force the emperor to agree. Instead of doing this, your highness might as well agree to this matter and not make it difficult for the emperor. But Take the opportunity to get some benefits." An idea flashed in Liu Fu's mind.

Zhao Xu heard this and weighed it in his mind.

The current situation of the peace talks is that the peace talks are concluded and Beidi wants to deal with him.

If peace talks fail, Beidi will still deal with him.

The only difference is that if the negotiation fails, there will be a bunch of pig teammates to help you bear part of the pressure.

But working with these pig opponents also comes with risks.

They might become a liability and cause him more trouble.

Muller Hongzhen obviously didn't realize this, he just wanted to reduce his enemies and deal with him.

"Yanshan is guarded by five bastions, the new bastion-style city wall outside Yanguan has been roughly completed, and the road to the sea has been cut off. I will see what else Muller Hongzhen can do." Zhao Xu had already made a decision in his heart.

His warning to Zhao Heng that day was actually to tell him not to go to Beidi as a hostage like last time, and there was no other meaning.

He really didn't care much about whether the Yanzhou front line would be truce or not in this peace negotiation.

As Qin Shan said, it is better to fight Beidi with Yanzhou behind than to fight Beidi in other places.

Moreover, he has cut off any road for Beidi to invade Yanzhou.

But Beidi's territory is full of loopholes for him.

Especially his layout of Chrysanthemum Island. If there is a truce, this place will lose its value.

So Beidi didn't want to truce with him, so he could continue to rob.

Compared to passively being beaten, the lucrative income from active harassment is also a temptation for him.

It's a pity to stop this business.

Of course, the most important thing is his confidence in his soldiers.

It is temporarily impossible to expel Beidi from Ningjindusi, but he will never cross the line if he defends the pass.

"Send someone to Qinguan to tell the emperor that there is no need to worry about me. Since it is a personal grudge, I am willing to compete with Beidi, but Yanzhou lacks shipbuilding craftsmen. I hope the emperor can give Yanzhou 100,000 shipbuilding craftsmen." Zhao Xu said.

In any case, he will bear the anger of Beidi people next.

Zhao Heng and the powerful families watched the fire from the other side, and it was reasonable to pay a price.

Although he knew the number of 100,000, it was difficult for Zhao Heng to agree.

But this is just like bargaining in business, giving a high price and letting the other party return it.

In the end, you can make the most profit.
