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.
