Yelu Dashi didn't fall asleep all night.

From the deafening cheers of Yuguan, he could hear that Li Hu had arrived. Li Hu had arrived at Yuguan, which meant that Jinzhou was lost. Jinzhou was lost, which meant that the Liao army had failed to encircle and suppression.

Sitting in front of the map, Yelu Dashi thought hard all night and imagined countless attacks and defense strategies, but he couldn't think of how to lose Jinzhou and how the 130,000 army failed. However, when he thought of Li Hu's outstanding troops and captured Yu Pass, he felt that Li Hu did have the ability to win this battle. This Han thief finally became a climate. Now that he has arrived at the Liaoxi Corridor, it is difficult to ascend to the sky if he wants to defeat him.

When Yu Pass was lost, he always believed that the rebels came from Heishan. For this reason, he had to admire the rebels' courage and perseverance. However, after the pirates from the Liaohai attacked Yingzhou, he suddenly realized that the rebels came from the sea. This strategy was not only incredible and dumbfounded, but also shocking that the pirates in the Liaohai had an amazing scale after several years of development. Judging from the pirates transporting thousands of rebels from Jinzhou to the waters near Yu Pass, the pirates had at least hundreds of ships, and these sea ships were undoubtedly obtained by them in the past two years.

The thieves were everywhere, and Li Hu could find thieves to help him everywhere. This pirate who already had a certain scale would help the rebels firmly gain a foothold in the Liaoxi Corridor. The thieves had a safe place to settle down and would fight for a better survival. They would attack Youyan again and again. The war in Liaodong finally spread from the distant Northeast forest to Youyan in the heart of the Liao Dynasty.

He urgently reported the news to the palace account and the Nanjing Marshal's Mansion, hoping that the emperor could increase his troops and hoped that Yelu Chun could come up with a countermeasure. However, what surprised him was that after seven or eight days, Yanjing had no reply. He didn't even have a message.

Today, when he learned that Li Hu had arrived at Yuguan and learned that Jinzhou was lost, he finally knew why there was no news about Yanjing. Because the encirclement and suppression failed, the pro-war factions and the pro-peace factions in the palace tent were fighting each other in order to compete for authority. Before the two sides reached a result, it was probably that the weather in Yanjing would have been cold and cold.

It was dawn, and Yelu Dashi sent an order to shoot Yuguan and make an appointment with Li Hu.

The same tent, the same brazier, the same atmosphere, but the difference is that there is no chessboard today.

Dashi's heart was already in chaos, and he had no mood to play chess. He just wanted to know how Li Hu captured Jinzhou and how he broke through the siege.

Li Hu arrived and sat opposite Dashi. He looked at the map on the table, then looked at Dashi's haggard face, and smiled and said, "How are you doing recently?"

"Not good." Dashi forced a smile and pointed to the map, "If possible, I want to know the battle in Jinzhou."

Li Hu smiled and did not hide it. He briefly said it. Dashi is a smart person. If you talk about it, he will know it clearly. However, Li Hu's face suddenly changed after Yelu Eliye and Xiao Bao were surrounded by Shuangshan. His expression was extremely frightened. He never dreamed that the encirclement was not failure, but the entire army was wiped out.

Yelu Eliye and Xiao Bao would not surrender to the rebels, they would only surrender to the Jurchens. More than 100,000 troops surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, and the result would definitely give the Liao a fatal blow. This was the second time that the Liao army suffered a crushing defeat after the Battle of Budagang. However, in the Battle of Budagang, the Jin army had limited strength and only defeated the main force of Liao Kingdom. At that time, the 700,000 troops were retreating, stretching for hundreds of miles. Once the main force was defeated, the news spread, and the entire line fled. The Jin army did not dare to pursue the troops in a desperate manner, so they did not capture too many Liao soldiers, but it gave the Liao army a fatal blow and destroyed the morale of the Liao army.

In the Battle of Jinzhou today, more than 100,000 troops surrendered to the Jurchens, and the result was even more terrifying. The Liao Dynasty lost not only the army, but the morale of the army, but also the country's destiny into the abyss of defeat.

In the battle of protecting Bu Dagang, the tiger of Daliao was injured. In the battle of Jinzhou today, he slashed another knife on the wound, and Daliao was dying.

Li Hu finally said the result, exactly the same as Dashi's guess, but Dashi's heart was already cold and there was no reaction. His mind was full of palace tents and Yanjing. He finally knew why there was no news about Yanjing, because from the emperor to the ministers, they were shocked by this result. They were caught off guard, helpless, and in panic, they didn't know how to save the situation.

This is the result of the court struggle, this is the result of the emperor and a group of ministers ignoring the great Liao Kingdom for their own interests.

You eat the flesh of the country and drink the blood of the country without restraint. How can the country not perish? He is filled with pain and despair.

"Do you still want to break through?"

Li Hu looked at the map, stared at the Nanjing Road on the map, stared at the small black dot in Yanjing, nodded, resolute and powerful.

Dashi's eyes suddenly showed murderous aura, but it was instantly restrained. After a moment, he asked again, "Where is your way out?"

Yes, where is my way out? This is a question that Li Hu cannot answer. In order to survive, Shi Jingtang sold his ancestors' foundation, became the son of the Khitans and the dog of the Khitans, leaving a reputation for eternity, but at that time he had the foundation of his ancestors to sell. When he arrived at himself, he was poor and the Han people became Han enemies. What else would you sell? He couldn't even sell himself.

"We had an agreement before, do you still remember?" Dashi reiterated the old words.

Li Hu leaned against the brazier, staring at the swaying flames blankly, thinking for a long time, and finally said, "I still remember."

Oishi sighed and stopped talking.

Recruiting pacification is just a temporary measure. In this case, the emperor and the palace tent can only repress the rebels in order to delay the time for the rebels to attack Youyan, and Li Hu will not repress him. He is also a temporary measure to give the rebels time to rest and wait until the wound is healed, and he will attack.

Dashi ordered his retreat and stationed troops on the bank of Daihe River and no longer attacked.

A few days later, news came from Yanjing and was very secretive about the battle of Jinzhou. There were only a few words, and neither mentioned the defeat nor the surrender of the Liao army.

The orders of the palace tent were very simple, and the troops were stationed in the Linyu Mountain area to prevent the rebels from attacking Youyan.

Two days later, Yelu Chun wrote a letter and he talked about the battle in Jinzhou.

The Grand Tutor of Yelu and Yelu Aguzhe fled back to Qianzhou to defend their lives. They reported to the palace tent, saying that they had forcibly broken through the siege and killed the land. As for the specific process and result of the war, they were not clear. In fact, no one in the Daliao Palace tent is clear about the battle in Jinzhou. On the contrary, Yelu Dashi knew very well, but he was too lazy to say that he would not cause any disaster to himself. The battle in the palace tent today is very fierce. Once he, an outside official, would definitely cause trouble.

At the beginning, he strongly asked to stay in Jinzhou, but was rejected by Xiao Degong. If he stayed in Jinzhou, this battle would never be the same as he is now. So he learned from his mistakes and took care of himself. He would first take the position of Liaoxing Army as the governor of Liaoxing Army and block Li Hu. If an incompetent person sent a palace tent to take charge of Pingzhou Road, then Li Hu would most likely be able to reach Yanjing. With Li Hu's current record and reputation, how many people dared to face him head-on? I guess he heard that Li Hu broke out of Yu Pass, turned his horse and ran away. Yelu Chun also said something in the letter. After the Jin army won the battlefield on Jinzhou, considering that the Liao army in Zhongjing Road had no strength to launch a counterattack, he immediately launched an attack on Shangjing Road as quickly as possible.

The Jin army commander of Xianzhou Road, Nianhan, led his army to attack Longhua. Zhang Yingguxiancheng, the governor of Longhuazhou, surrendered.

If the road to Shangjing is lost, the road to Zhongjing will inevitably be difficult to maintain, so the emperor ordered Yelu Yuji to quickly lead his army to the north, meet Yelu Mage, and recover Longhua. King Xi Xiao Gan became the commander of the East Road and led his army to station in Xingzhong Prefecture to resist the attacks of the Jin army and rebels.

Yelu Chun said that in order to ensure the smooth progress of the war on Shangjing Road, there should be no war in Zhongjing Road and Nanjing Road in the short term. For this reason, he asked Dashi to send someone to meet the rebel Li Hu first to test the possibility of pacification. If Li Hu is willing to talk, he will report to the emperor and ask for the imperial edict to stabilize the situation in Nanjing Road.

Dashi replied that I had met Li Hu, and he was willing to talk about it, but this was a delaying strategy. When the rebels were rested, the war would definitely break out. Please treat the King of Yan solemnly and report it to the emperor, begging the emperor to immediately order the recruitment of soldiers and replenish the army in order to kill the rebels. Sima Chai Yun, the commander-in-chief Hu Tu, the commander-in-chief, and the secretary-in-chief Ma Liang hurried to Runzhou to pay homage to Li Hu.

Several officials have formulated a series of plans for military, government and finance matters. They have reported to Li Hu before, and this time they are here to discuss and make the final decision.

The rebel army currently actually controls nine states. Yanzhou surrendered at the end of February under the siege of Yun Haijun.
