Chapter 1123 - 946, The Fall of the Wei Family
After sending Daohua and Gu Jian back to Ganzhou City, Xiao Yeyang focused entirely on dealing with the war against Xiliao and the matter of Wei Hongcai.
Upon receiving the ceasefire order from the Imperial Family of Xiliao, Yelu Kangda immediately sent people to Xiao Yeyang to sue for peace.
Xiao Yeyang laid out his terms to the envoy: unless Xiliao was willing to submit to Daxia and become a vassal state, there would be no cessation of hostilities.
Hearing these demands, the Xiliao envoy was furious and stormed out of the Daxia military camp.
Yelu Kangda, learning of Xiao Yeyang’s conditions, was also seething with anger: "Xiao Yeyang is simply too presumptuous, to actually fantasize about Xiliao becoming a vassal state to Daxia; why doesn’t he ascend to the heavens then?"
If Xiliao were to become a vassal state, not only would it have to "pay homage and tribute" to Daxia, but it would also have to pay an annual tribute and attend court regularly.
Even though Xiliao would still have autonomous administration, Daxia would not involve itself in Xiliao’s national affairs; however, Xiliao would be restrained by Daxia economically and militarily in every aspect.
This was no different than bowing one’s head in submission!
The generals of Xiliao were also both angry and annoyed, yet they couldn’t help but face the reality: "Crown Prince, if we don’t agree, Daxia will not cease the war."
Yelu Kangda’s face showed signs of defeat, and he began to regret. Perhaps he should not have been provoked by Xiao Yechi to declare war on Daxia rashly.
Now, faced with consecutive defeats to the Daxia army, would his father the king and the ministers in court still regard him highly upon his return to Xiliao?
