Yelu Guanyinnu didn't understand why Manichaeism was in internal strife at this time.
Cao Bin has been planning for a long time.
The previous spread of Bai Lian was due to lack of skills, causing trouble for Fang La, and there was no follow-up plan.
Now that Fang Ladu is about to perish, wouldn't it be a waste if we don't use it anymore?
Therefore, he directly summoned Pang Wanchun and asked him to seize power and break out of the encirclement on the grounds that Fang La was running out of energy and wanted to save his seeds.
With the help of Fang Jinzhi, the White Lotus Society has become quite powerful among the core members of Manichaeism.
Now that they are fighting each other, Muzhou City suddenly falls into chaos.
Seeing that Yelu Guanyin Nu still didn't want to believe it, Cao Bin smiled and said:
"I said that Fang La would be conquered within half a month, but now it only takes a few days. What does the princess think?"
Seeing her annoyed expression, Cao Bin felt even more proud.
Yelu Guanyin slave couldn't help but complained:
"I never imagined that Fang La could be so incompetent."
The magistrate of Hangzhou exclaimed:
"It turns out that Marquis Cao selected women two days ago and acted like he was obsessed with women, just to confuse Fang La."
"Show the enemy that you are weak and use strategic planning to gain control. Mr. Cao Hou is a true general."
After saying that, he asked again:
"In this case, does the Marquis want to release those women to calm the hearts and minds of the army and the people?"
Cao Bin was stunned for a moment and said:
"I finally selected it, why should I let it go?"
Hangzhou Zhizhou suddenly choked and didn't know what to say.
Listening to his words, Cao Bin knew that a local general came to him to complain.
Perhaps those people thought that Cao Bin wanted to monopolize beauty.
Cao Bin was too lazy to pay attention to him, just waiting for reports from ambushes everywhere.
Half a day later, the shouts of killing in Muzhou City gradually disappeared, and Guan Sheng sent someone to say:
"Report to your lord, General Guan has taken control of Muzhou City and captured and killed thirty-eight leaders, big and small."
"Fang La only led a few dozen people to break out of Nancheng, and General Guan has sent people to pursue him."
Cao Bin nodded and didn't care.
Fuchun River and Lanxi River meet in the south of Muzhou City. Fang La probably ran away from the water. He had ordered Lu Junyi to intercept him on the water.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Junyi hurried in, knelt down on one knee and apologized:
"Master Hou, I am finally guilty. I never thought that Fang La would go up the river and escape to the west..."
Cao Bin nodded and sighed:
"It seems that Fang La still has two brushes!"
"General Lu, please stand up. You and General Guan will immediately lead the troops south to recover Qu and Wu states."
Even he didn't expect that Fang La would flee to the west.
That was the life path he left for Pang Wanchun and others, but Fang La took advantage of it.
However, he didn't care. Qingxi County to the west had been captured by Guan Sheng. Fang La had no foundation and could no longer make waves.
This can be regarded as a heroic figure. If he is willing to bow his head and follow Pang Wanchun and others to Nanyang to harm foreign nations, Cao Bin would not mind letting him go.
So he told Hangzhou Zhizhou:
"Ding Zhizhou, notified all states and counties to send official documents to capture Fang La and the rest of the party."
Upon hearing this, the magistrate of Hangzhou quickly took the order and left.
Then, Cao Bin turned to look at Yelu Guanyin Nu and smiled:
"Princess, now that the overall situation has been decided, what do you have to say?"
Yelu Guanyinnu's face looked a little ugly, but her bargaining chips had disappeared, and she was worried that the delay would be too long, and the country was anxious, so she had to state a more realistic condition:
"You will pay me 500,000 pieces of silk, and everything else will remain as usual."
"Sign a peace treaty immediately. From now on, Liao and Song will never invade each other."
Cao Bin laughed and said:
"I just guessed that the bottom line of the Liao Kingdom is that the annual coins remain the same. There are no other conditions. The five hundred thousand coins were added by the princess herself, right?"
The Liao Kingdom had already been defeated in the war, and the huge consumption last year had caused domestic instability. It was anxiously waiting for money, so how could it set the bottom line high?
If the Song Dynasty is made anxious and even the Sui coins are not recognized, they will suffer a big loss.
Although Sui coins were nothing to the Song Dynasty, to the Liao Dynasty, they were money that could extend their lives.
Hearing this, Yelu Guanyin Nu was stunned for a moment and said angrily:
"What nonsense are you talking about? I, Daliao, have this condition. You can give it to me or not."
Cao Bin shook his head and said:
"If the princess says so, Cao won't even agree to it even with a penny!"
Yelu Guanyin Nu frowned and said:
"Are you really not afraid that Daliao will send troops?"
This time she was not threatening.
"The annual currency remains unchanged" is the bottom line of the Liao Kingdom. If the Song Dynasty does not give it, the Liao Kingdom will never give up.
Even if we don’t launch a large-scale war, we will continue to harass...
The Song Dynasty court would not take risks because of the "established" Sui coins.
At that time, the imperial court will definitely remove Cao Bin as the negotiator and send someone else.
The emperor will not continue to support Cao Bin...
Therefore, Cao Bin did not immediately veto the Sui coins, but gradually became entangled with Yelu Guanyin.
Hearing her threat, Cao Bin laughed and said:
"In this case, Cao will write a letter and ask His Majesty Yelu of Liao State whether he wants to die or to pay an additional five hundred thousand in compensation?"
Yelu Guanyin Nu suddenly became speechless. Just as she was hesitating, Cao Bin pulled out a piece of Liao fine armor from behind his buttocks and said with a smile:
"Princess, if you want to buy some more stuff, Cao can give you a 20% discount!"
Yelu Guanyin slave was stunned when he saw the fine armor in Cao Bin's hand, his eyes widened and he said:
"My war supplies..."
Cao Bin shook his head and emphasized: "Mine!"
"I......."
Yelv Guanyinnu almost died of anger.
Only then did she understand why Fang La had that attitude when he saw her.
It turns out that all his supplies were cut off by Cao Bin. Maybe Fang La thought he was playing tricks on him.
In Fang La's mind, since the Liao Kingdom would not sincerely provide practical help, it would be better to kill the Liao princess directly and provoke a war between Song and Liao.
Thinking that his plan was not only completely ruined by Cao Bin, but also completely ruined Empress Dowager Xiao's private money, Yelu Guanyinnu felt bad.
She gritted her teeth and argued:
"I learned that Fang La was in trouble and sent it here to trade with you."
"How could you rob..."
Before she could finish speaking, Cao Bin took out a stack of confessions and said:
"This is the confession of the general sent by the princess!"
"You also said that Song and Liao will never invade each other. Is this the princess's sincerity?"
Yelv Guanyinnu was speechless immediately. She had never been so depressed before. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration.
She couldn't figure out how Cao Bin managed to get his own supplies without anyone noticing, even though it was a very secret matter.
Even the Zhennanyuan ship he sent was deceived. If Cao Bin hadn't taken the initiative to admit it, he wouldn't have known what happened.
After being silent for a long time, she said helplessly:
"Okay, I just want the coins."
"But you have to return all these supplies to me!"
After saying that, he added:
"Don't forget, Qing Lian is also your woman, and all her food and drink expenses are my money."
"Shouldn't you pay some money to compensate me?"
When Cao Bin heard this, he was speechless.
When negotiating national affairs, you tell me that you have to pay to support a woman. Is this appropriate?
