"Today, a young lady chased you all over the valley. From this point of view, if you have no prestige, you have no strength. Without strength, you have nothing to do with it. The reason why you can still be treated is entirely due to your father's Yinze."

Li Hu nodded. This kid is indeed powerful, and he is extraordinary when he takes action.

"What the Son of the King needs is not the father's ecstasy, but the father's brilliance. So if you want to have strength, where does the strength come from? For the rebel army, strength is very simple, that is, someone has money and territory. Obviously, you don't have it either, and our appearance just gives you the opportunity to have strength."

Li Hu admired him a little. Although he didn't think so, the young man in front of him was indeed amazing. But what does the appearance of the Song Dynasty mission have to do with his strength?

"We made two years of preparations to go north to make an understanding of the situation in Liaodong. We were surprised that the time of Li Hong's uprising was only one year away from the time of Wanyan Agu's fight against Liao, but the result was unbelievable. After the failure of Li Hong's uprising, the Liaodong rebel army continued, but they were defeated repeatedly and had no results in five years, while the Jurchens conquered most of Liaodong within five years."

"Did the Liaodong rebel army really be vulnerable? Are the Jurchens really invincible? No, our dynasty thinks this is related to the Liao Dynasty's counter-rebellion strategy."

"Since the founding of the country, the Khitans were most afraid of that their country was taken back by the Han people. Therefore, the Han people's uprisings have always been encircled and suppressed. On the contrary, they are generally more despised by the resistance of the Jurchens, Bohai and other tribes. After all, their population is small, and their hatred is not as deep as that between the Han and Hu."

"In the past five years, the Liaodong rebels have been one after another, but because the rebels are scattered everywhere and have poor strength, they are defeated by the heavy encirclement of the Liao army. However, the victory of the rebels has brought great trouble to the Liao Kingdom. Not only has their troops been restrained, but their expenditure is also extremely amazing. In other words, the Liaodong rebels have invisibly helped the Jurchens."

"So, over the past five years, the rebels have become weaker and weaker, while the Jurchens have become stronger and stronger. Now, not only are they competing with the Liao Kingdom, but even our Song Dynasty has to take the initiative to form an alliance with it, hoping to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun with its help."

Ma Kuo paused for a while, and seemed to have concerns about whether to say the following words, but he still said it immediately.

"We have three concerns about joining the Jin Dynasty to attack Liao. One is that we are worried that the Jin Dynasty will be short-lived and weak, which will lead to the evil of Liao and Song Dynasty. The other is that after the demise of Liao, the Jin Dynasty will rise up. Although it drives away wolves, it will attract a tiger, which will not be worth the loss. The third is that Wanyan Aguda is not a fool. He is too weak now, and the Song Dynasty is too strong to attack Liao. If he joins forces to attack Liao, it may turn into a situation where his lips and teeth are cold. If he is occupied by the Song Dynasty in the future, it is better to negotiate peace with Liao Kingdom now, and rely on his lips and teeth, so he is very likely not to agree."

"If the Jin people were unwilling to form an alliance, our Song Dynasty would be the worst, but we had a bad relationship with the Liao people, so there would be little chance of fighting, because the Liao Kingdom now has Jurchens who are eyeing each other and have rebels who have been suppressed repeatedly at home. There is no need to risk the country's destruction to start a war with the Song Dynasty."

"If the Jin people were willing to form an alliance, the best result would be that both Jin and Liao were defeated, while our Song Dynasty would benefit. But the worst result would be that several years later, the Song Dynasty would directly confront the gradually powerful Jin Kingdom. Compared with this unpredictable future, it would be better to maintain the alliance with the Liao Kingdom."

"The two results weigh the pros and cons. It is obvious that the Song, Liao and Jin Kingdoms are the best to maintain the status quo. That is to say, it will be difficult to sign this alliance in the future, unless something big enough to affect the fate of the country happens in the Song, Jin and Liao Kingdoms."

What kind of major event is a major event that affects the fate of the country? Is this major event related to me? Li Hu is puzzled.

Ma Kuo continued to speak.

"The various rebels in Liaodong have pushed you out with the goal of forming alliances and strengthening their strength. This is right, but they face huge difficulties, that is, you have no appeal and no prestige, and the result of alliances may be worse than non-alignment. This is something that both the leaders of the rebels and you are very afraid of."

"At this time, you suddenly heard that the Song Dynasty planned to form an alliance with the Jin Kingdom, so you came up with a bold plan."

"Strength requires people, wealth and territory. Among them, money is crucial. Without money, nothing can be done. If someone gives you money, you can buy people and weapons, and then you can capture territory. With strength, how can you expand your strength as quickly as possible? During the confrontation between the Jin and Liao countries, you were attacked and there was no chance, unless you negotiate peace with one party, get their support, and then attack the other party with all your strength."

"Compared with Jin and Liao, choosing a weaker Jin Kingdom to form an alliance is the best strategy. The Jin Kingdom has only been established for more than three years and urgently needs time to consolidate its existing territory. I hope you will help them restrain and weaken Liao Kingdom, so you will definitely be able to form an alliance."

"In this way, you have the strength and no worries, and you can attack the Khitans with all your strength. It won't take long to capture a large territory like the Jurchens."

At this point, Li Hu finally understood.

After I captured a piece of territory, the Liao Kingdom was in danger. This is what Ma Kuo said in his mouth that could affect the fate of the country. But I also became a sick cat. Before I could recover my vitality, the troops of the Song and Jin Kingdom were attacked from north to south, so the Liao Kingdom was destroyed and I was destroyed.

If I want to fail, I can only go to the Song Dynasty. After all, I am a Han Chinese. The Song Dynasty recaptured the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and obtained a Liaodong army like me out of thin air. Of course, I was happy. After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Kingdom, I was exhausted. Just as I was the vanguard and then attacked the Jin Kingdom. If I had good luck, the Song Dynasty could still recover the territory of Liaodong.

Zhiniang, for the sake of the Song Dynasty, you deliberately set a trap to let me jump and treat me as a gun, thinking I don't know? First, the Jurchens are powerful because the rebels are in charge and tempted me to form all the rebels at all costs. When I pulled the rebels together, the Song Dynasty gave money, the Jin people sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and asked me to fight to the death with the Liao people. Both the Liao people and the Liao people were both injured, and the Song Dynasty formed an alliance with the Jin people, and then ate me and the Liao people. It was a perfect plan.

Gao, it’s really high. Ma Kuang, you are cruel, I’m convinced.

Ma Kuo saw Li Hu staring at him in surprise and looked at him with smug smile, "What you want to talk about is nothing more than that. You want the Song Dynasty to give you money. Once the rebels from Liaodong know that you have money and the support of the Song Dynasty's official family, they will definitely flock to you. Money can make the devil push the grind, let alone people? In addition, you also need the Song Dynasty to come forward to help you negotiate with the Jin people, because your direct appearance may arouse the disgust of the soldiers of the rebel army, and the Jin people will not trust your promises, but if the Song Dynasty's official family comes forward, it will be completely different. What you can give to the Song Dynasty is nothing more than some short promises, such as the land that may be occupied in the future and the army that may still exist."

"You can't agree." When Li Hu heard that the Song Dynasty officials really wanted to give money, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. It's a thief. It's easy to deal with money if you have money. Don't mess around if you don't have money. I care about what you are now and in the future, I only have money.

The horse laughed but said nothing.

"Ma Kuo, this is equivalent to my contract for sale. Do you know? Give me a quick word, do it, or don't?" Li Hu urged anxiously.

"I doubt my judgment now," Ma Kuo hesitated, "You don't seem to care about the fate of the Liaodong rebel army at all. Are you from Liaodong?"

"I am from the Song Dynasty. What's the matter with my rebel army in Liaodong." Li Hu was so angry that he cursed and spitted everywhere. "Zhi Mom, your mind is in water. I have said it many times. I am from the Song Dynasty. Don't worry that I will regret it. I will definitely return to the Song Dynasty in the future. I will still return to the hometown in glory, divide the five enemies and kill all their families. No, all men will be killed, and all women will be sold to prostitutes. Zhi Mom has caused me to leave my hometown since I was a child. How could I let them go?"

Ma Kuo wiped the spit on his face and became more and more suspicious. However, if this kid was really a native of the Song Dynasty, it would be a good thing. What he was most worried about was that once the Liaodong people became big and went back on their word, it would be troublesome. After all, raising a tiger is very unfavorable to the Song Dynasty. When he returned to Beijing this time, the first thing he did was to go to his hometown where he said he would check it clearly.

"Li Hu, once a real man says something, it is hard to pursue it, and you cannot regret it." Ma Kuo said very seriously, "This matter will benefit you without any harm. If the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are successfully recovered, you will be successful and famous in history in the future."

"Hey, this is the condition that your kid wants me to agree to, I agree..." Li Hu immediately sweared, "Shit, it looks very smart, but in fact it's very tender and easy to cheat. I swear it's useless.

The horse stretched around behind him and untied the rope for him.

"Hey, when will your official family give me money?" Li Hu was most concerned about this matter.

"You have to help us to the Jin Kingdom first, and after we return to the Song Dynasty, we will report to the officials. After the officials agree, I will come to you to sign the alliance, and then I will report to the officials..."

"When that time, all people will die." Li Hu interrupted Ma Kuo's words angrily, "Are you deliberately trying to trick me? How can I wait?"

Ma Kuobao smiled bitterly, "Man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. This period depends on whether you can hold on. If you hold on, you will be a famous figure in the world in the future."
