After thinking for a moment, Ma Kuo asked slowly: "If...if the Song army failed to launch the Northern Expedition as scheduled..."

"I will join forces with Liao and Jin, and block the Jurchens' continued attack in the Zhongjing area." Li Hu sighed, "After the Jin army captured Shangjing Road, the Liao army's defense will be north of Zhongjing, so that the heavy pressure in western Liaoning can be reduced, so that I and the Khitans can join forces. However, I said that there is no trust between me and the Khitans. It is unknown whether the alliance with Liao and Jin can work. If I fail, I can only continue to maintain a tacit understanding with the Jurchens and do my best to seize Yanjing. As for the Jiuzhou behind the mountain, I will be powerless."

When he thought of his father's story and when he thought of the Jurchens going south to kill, Li Hu felt a suffocation. He was really worried that there would be such a terrifying day, but now he had no choice but to survive, he could only maintain a tacit understanding with the Jurchens and develop himself with the help of the Jurchens. In the future, he became stronger and had the strength, so he could block the Jurchens from going south.

Li Gang was considering whether the Song army could make an Northern Expedition as scheduled. When Li Hu asked this suddenly, he was stunned and didn't react for a long time. Yue Fei? Who is Yue Fei? Liao or Jin? Is it related to this matter?

"I don't know." Li Gang shook his head, "Who is Yue Fei?"

Li Hu hesitated for a moment, but did not answer, but asked again, "Where is Han Shizhong? Do you know?" Li Gang thought for a while and looked at Ma Kuo. Ma Kuo shook his head. Suddenly, he remembered that when he was in Heishan last year, Li Hu also asked Yue Fei and said that this man was a great hero. Why did he ask again this time? I immediately thought of Li Hu's life experience, and he was shocked and sweated. Li Gang wanted to station in the rebel army forever. If Li Hu had a whim one day, asked about his hometown and his past. Li Gang would be able to guess his life experience, wouldn't it be all over?

"Where is Zong Ze? Do you know this person?"

This time Li Gang nodded, but he was surprised. How could Li Hu know Zong Ze?

"This man opposed the Northern Expedition, especially the Union of Jin to attack Liao." Zhao Liangsi said without waiting for Li Gang's answer. "He was just a small magistrate of Dengzhou, and he actually wrote to His Majesty to oppose the Northern Expedition. At the beginning of the year, he was demoted to his official position because of this incident, and in anger, he retired and returned home."

Is there really this person? Li Hu didn't ask about Ma Kuo's last time, but this time he got confirmation from Li Gang and Zhao Liangsi. There really is this person in the Song Dynasty.

"Is there anyone named Zhao Gou among the emperor's sons?"

Everyone knows this, the ninth son of the emperor, King Guangping.

Li Hu felt a chill in his heart. Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were all military officers. There were many troops in the Song Dynasty and many military officers, so Li Gang and the others might not know it, but it is confirmed that Zhao Gou, Li Gang, Zong Ze, Wanyan Aguda, and Jin Wushu were all true in "The Legend of Yue Fei". According to this, the story in "The Legend of Yue Fei" may be true. Then maybe not long before the Jurchens will destroy the Liao Kingdom and head south.

Ma Kuo was worried that Li Hu would keep asking questions, and was impatient to change the topic, "I will be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice Li as His Majesty's special envoy and will be stationed in Jinzhou."

What? The emperor's special envoy? He is stationed in Jinzhou? Li Hu first smiled and welcomed him. Li Gang is a famous big man in "The Legend of Yue Fei". He is a firm and tough landlord warfare faction, has been the prime minister, and has fought the Tokyo defense battle. If such a person stays by his side, it means that Liu Bang has Zhang Liang and Xiao He and makes money by himself.

Immediately, he realized that this is the military supervisor? In my father's story, military supervisors are usually eunuchs, emperor's bad guys, and big bad guys. Hey, don't believe me, right? He actually sent a military supervisor to stare at me. However, Li Gang is a good guy. Even if such a person is a military supervisor, he will definitely be a good military supervisor.

Li Gang is a good person, and this idea is deeply rooted in Li Hu's heart, so he hesitated for a moment and immediately became happy again.

Ma Kuo and the other two looked at each other, not understanding what Li Hu was thinking. No one would be happy if this kind of thing was changed. Li Gang was even more prepared to be under house arrest by Li Hu. Unexpectedly, Li Hu's reaction was unexpected. Not only was he happy, but he was also very happy. This made him secretly panic, worried about being attacked by Li Hu. This man was a demon who killed people without blinking.

Li Hu told all the secrets of the rebel army, which made Ma Kuo and the other two deeply feel the sincerity of Li Hu's return to the Celestial Empire. This sincerity was the important place of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and the basis for the establishment of trust between the two sides.

Ma Kuo knew Li Hu's secret and naturally knew why Li Hu had such sincerity. Zhao Liangsi and Li Gang did not know that Li Hu was a native of the Song Dynasty, so from their perspective, Li Hu was out of survival needs, and the other was out of the desire to return to the Celestial Empire from generation to generation. However, no matter what, Li Hu's attitude can greatly strengthen the emperor's confidence in the Northern Expedition.

Ma Kuo and Zhao Liangsi knew that time was tight, so they decided to return to the Song Dynasty the next day. Ma Kuo stayed in Dengzhou, on the one hand, was responsible for conveying news from the two places, and on the other hand, they were responsible for returning to the two places to ensure that the rebel army could get the required materials as quickly as possible. Zhao Liangsi, with Li Hu's letters, rushed back to Bianjing day and night, reported to the emperor, and asked the emperor to start preparing for the Northern Expedition immediately.

The Northern Expedition is related to the fate of the country and requires all its national strength. It is important to work together with the ruler and his ministers, but how to ensure that this strategy is completed is the top priority. Therefore, the emperor not only needs determination and courage, but also needs the strong help of a group of elite soldiers and generals. Unfortunately, in Li Gang's view, the emperor is surrounded by a group of treacherous slanders who are harming the country, the people and the people, and the success is not enough to defeat the situation.

Li Gang wrote a memorial overnight, begging the emperor to be virtuous in the Northern Expedition. Although the strategy of the Northern Expedition was correct, it was only at the stage of talking about war on paper. If you want to make it a reality, you still need the intelligence and talent of a capable man. Ma Kuo and Zhao Liangsi persuaded Li Gang not to submit the memorials. It would be useless to write it. Not only would it be useless, but it would be a bad thing.

Along the way, the two of them gradually understood Li Gang and knew that he was upright and not a temptation to be accomplices. The reason why he was attracted by Liang Shicheng was just because he was valuable. This time he was ordered to go to Liaodong, not recommended by Liang Shicheng, but Cai Jing arranged the land. His intention was to drive him away. If he could use a knife to kill someone, of course it would be better. Li Gang was humble in his position and was controlled by others, so he had no choice but to sacrifice his life. Now that he is in Liaodong, he is even less afraid. He scolded Cai Jing and others in the memorial.

Li Gang's temper has risen, and Ma Kuo and Zhao Liangsi have no choice but to report to him.

In the early morning, Ma Kuo quietly woke Li Gang up. He tossed and turned and thought for a long time. After careful consideration, he decided to tell Li Gang about Li Hu's secret, so as not to accidentally reveal Li Hu's life experience without any defense, leading to major changes in the Northern Expedition.

"Do you know what celebrities are there in Anyang, Xiangzhou, Hebei?"

Ma Kuo woke up the person late at night, and opened his mouth and said something inexplicable, which made Li Gang a little dizzy, "A historical celebrity, or a celebrity in this dynasty?"

"This dynasty is the chief minister."

"Han Qi, Li Qingchen." Li Gang said.

Han Qi was so famous. The Qingli New Deal during the Renzong period was presided over by him, Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi. However, in the Shenzong Dynasty, he changed from a radical reformer who advocated the new policy to a conservative conservative, who strongly opposed Wang Anshi's reforms.

Li Qingchen was famous for his talent and knowledge. Han Qi admired him very much and married his niece as his wife. During the Renzong reign, Ouyang Xiuzhuang wrote a letter and compared him with Su Shi. During the Yuanfeng reign of Emperor Shenzong, he was the prime minister, restored the new policies and was determined to reform. He was a famous reformist faction. After the emperor inherited the throne, he valued Cai Jing. Cai Jing was also a reformist faction, admired Wang Anshi very much and studied the new laws. Unfortunately, this person was keen on power and tricks, liked to be a fence-bearer, and was despised. Cai Jing had made enemies with Li Qingchen in his early years. After becoming prime minister, he took the opportunity to expel the Yuanyou party members and took revenge on his enemies of the past. Li Qingchen was the first to be hit and was hit hard and was angry to death.

"Do you know what the descendants of Li Qingchen are in today?"

Li Gang shook his head, he didn't know about this. The "Yuanyou Party Case" was initiated by the emperor himself, and the punishment was extremely severe and implicated. He also engraved the stele of the name of "Treacherous Party" twice to the world. Two years later, due to the star change, the "Yuanyou Party" monument was destroyed, and a small number of descendants of the Yuanyou Party members were allowed to restore their scholarships and reform themselves. However, because of the excessive blow, many Yuanyou Party members had their families destroyed, and most of their descendants were wandering in a foreign land and there was no news.

Ma Kuo suddenly mentioned the descendants of the Yuanyou Party member Li Qingchen, which made Li Gang very surprised, so he hurriedly asked: "Why did you suddenly mention Li Qingchen?"

Ma Kuo hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "You swear that we cannot tell anyone about the conversation between us, including the emperor."

Li Gang was shocked, became more curious, and immediately swore.

"Li Hu is Li Qingchen's grandson."
