Time flies very quickly, and it is August in a blink of an eye. The Liao envoy Yelu Dashi and Han came to Jinzhou again...

The Emperor of Liao was hunting happily, and King Yelu Chun of Yan was acting as a state affairs officer. He and a group of priests were racking their brains for the matter of the imperial throne and had no intention of launching the Eastern Expedition, so he wrote to Dashi to drag down. The Eastern Expedition was of great importance, and all preparations were very complicated and took time. This time, it was an attack with the rebel army. For this reason, both sides had to build trust, so they had to take it slowly and prepare slowly. It is probably too late this winter, at least until next spring.

Dashi explained to Li Hu the Emperor's reply.

"Your Majesty means that after the autumn harvest, the Liao army can only gather from the direction of Shangjing Road and Zhongjing Road." Oishi said slowly, "In addition, the rebellion of the northern silencers has not been quelled, which has restrained some of our troops, so..."

"So, you have no intention of expedition, right?" Li Hu was not polite and pointed at the nail on the head, "Since that's the case, what is your sincerity in pursuing?"

"We have cut off the connection between the Jurchens. Wanyan Zongwang's army is gathering from Xianzhou to Liaohe, and it is possible to launch an attack on us." Luo Qinghan was very annoyed, "In this case, you have no intention of expedition in the east, obviously just sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight. Since that's the case, what else can we talk about to pacify?"

"You have deployed about 100,000 troops on the front lines of Zhongjing and Xingzhong Prefecture. We have 200,000 troops. If we join forces, even if we can't defeat Tokyo, we can severely damage the Jin army. ==="Huang She was also very angry, "Since you have no intention of expedition in the east, we have to consider attacking west in order to survive."

This sentence contains the meaning of threat. To put it bluntly, Huang She is warning Dashi that if the rebel army refuses to recruit him, he can immediately join forces with the Jurchens and attack Zhongjing immediately.

Dashi sneered and scoffed at Huang She's threat. Now you even have a problem with eating. What kind of war are you going to fight? Joining forces to fight in the Eastern Expedition, in fact, it is the Liao army that helped you plunder the Jin people and help you to hunt grass valley.

Han was worried that both sides would turn against each other and hurriedly presented various reasons. In short, the Eastern Expedition is a major event. We need to make a long-term plan, so don't worry, "Your Majesty said that if you launch an attack on Tokyo, we will provide some money and food assistance."

"When will I give it?" Huang She asked.

"As long as the attack begins, we will immediately transfer from Pingzhou Road and Xingzhong Prefecture. Reading at zero is a fucking**"

"Keep your word?" Huang She doubted the authenticity of this sentence.

Dashi solemnly promised that you attacked Tokyo and fought with the Jurchens. Of course, Daliao could not sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and although they could not send troops, the necessary assistance was definitely given to the land.

The rebel army and the Song Dynasty went smoothly, with war horses transported away in batches, and food and weapons transported in batches.

The second edict of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty also arrived. The emperor promised in the edict that the Song army would fight north next winter. As for the borrowing of the navy and sea ships requested by Li Hu, the emperor also agreed and handed over the matter to Ma Kuo full responsibility. Li Hu asked Ma Kuo to contact Ma Kuo directly and call at any time.

Li Hu urgently summoned Hou Jue, and Wu Chitian.

"How is the situation of the Bohai Army?" Li Hu asked, "Have they assembled? Did the Jin army discover their movements?"

Hou Gui's outlook looks difficult. The facts are a bit different from his expectations. Many people in Bohai would rather stay in the mountains as bandits than take the risk of breaking through and crossing the sea to Liaoxi to join the rebel army. The slogan of the rebel army in Liaodong was to kill the enemy and restore the Han.^^^^^ takes killing the enemy as his mission, so the people in Bohai did not believe in the Han army, did not believe that the Han people would help them restore the country, and were even more worried that their heads would not be kept.

"I thought of a lot of ways and sent a lot of people into the mountains to persuade him. Baoshuai also sent a lot of Bohai people to the mountains. But so far, there are only more than 13,000 troops to gather at the scheduled location, and at least 10,000 people hid in the mountains and refused to come out." Hou Guai said, "I cannot be sure whether the other Bohai troops are coming to meet, but considering that the assembly location is close to Zhenhai Mansion and is easily discovered by the Jurchens, I plan to ask the general commander to launch an attack as soon as possible and pick up all of these people first to avoid accidents."

Li Hu invited him to come and asked about the Bohai Army again, so of course he was going to launch an attack.

"How is the ship?" Li Hu asked Wu Caitian again.

"In one month, I can assemble three hundred warships." At this moment, all warships are used for sea routes, and it is difficult to assemble all ships in a short period of time.

Li Hu pondered for a moment and turned to look at Hou Guai, "What is the specific number of people in Bohai Army and their families?"

"How could they have any family?" Hou Jiao smiled bitterly, "That is, he just plundered some women in nearby prefectures and counties. All of them were all about 15,000."

"When will the general manager attack?" Wu Chitian asked anxiously, "I will assemble more ships as possible."

"I'm trying to figure out a way for the sea ship." Li Hu said, "If everything goes well, I can borrow a hundred sea ships so that we can pick up all the Bohai people."

One hundred sea ships? Hou Gu and Wu Chitian looked at each other, and at the same time thought of the Song Dynasty naval army. Only the Song Dynasty naval army had sea ships nearby. However, it was too difficult to borrow a ship from the Song Dynasty naval army, and even a little whimsical. This is not something that can be solved by spending money. The Song Dynasty naval army did not dare to go to sea without the orders of their emperor.

"Look, when is it better to launch an attack? How many troops are needed to attack Zhenhai Mansion?"

"There are only two or three thousand gold troops in Zhenhai Prefecture, and the others are Bohai people and Han people, and many are the troops of the former Bohai Kingdom." Hou Guai was very excited when he heard that Li Hu was about to take action. "I, Baoshuai and Haishuai, led the attack. With a big flag, many people will offer the city to surrender, so the general commander only needs to give us 10,000 main forces.^^^^"

"Okay, let me listen to you." Li Hu smiled, "You want that army, you can choose it yourself."

"I want the Fifth Army of the Tiger and the King of Hell." Hou Ji was not polite and immediately called out, "Five generals, 12,500 people. After capturing Zhenhai Mansion, the main force of the Jin army in Tokyo will come soon. This army must hold on for at least twenty days. If the weather is not good and the sea route is blocked, this time may be longer."

Li Hu calculated with his fingers and asked, "If we connect everyone, the Bohai people and our army at one time, at least how many sea ships are needed?"

"This is impossible." Wu Chitian smiled bitterly, "Unless all the Great Song naval troops were dispatched, it would be impossible."

Li Hu immediately gave up this idea. It was already a great gift for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to borrow a hundred sea ships, and he could not have let all his naval forces go.

"I plan to launch an attack on Tokyo in mid-September or early October to restrain the main force of the Jin army in the direction of Tokyo, so as to gain time for you to rescue the Bohai Army."

Li Hu told the attack in detail, "There is no more time left. You are ready immediately and just wait for the sea ships to assemble. I will take the lead in attacking Xianzhou from Jinzhou, and then kill the Liaohe River. You will cross the river to attack Zhenhai Mansion."

Hou Gu and Wu Chitian bowed to take the order and left in a hurry.

Li Hu invited Li Gang to discuss the borrowing of the sea ship with him. Only then did Li Gang know the reason why Li Hu attacked the Liaodong Peninsula. "Since you have a tacit understanding with the Jurchens, attacking Tokyo is just a striking attack. Why do you still have to make trouble to rescue the Bohai people? You must know that this matter may anger the Jurchens, and the tacit understanding battle may turn into a bloody battle, so you will definitely not be worth the loss."

"I said that the Jurchens' target now is Shangjing. As long as they capture Shangjing, their flanks will be safe. The army can whistle from north to south and roar down." Li Hu smiled, "So, even if the Jurchens know that I ran to his backyard to grab things, he could only open one glance and close one."

"But the danger is very great." Li Gang said, "The sea route is limited by the weather. Once the weather is bad and the ships are difficult to transport, the army attacking Zhenhai Mansion will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

"So, I'll ask you to discuss it and see if there is a better way." Li Hu said with a smile.

Li Gang thought for a moment and said, "Master, please report to Bian Jing quickly and ask Your Majesty to allow the Liaodong Rebel Army to temporarily land in Dengzhou." Li Gang pointed to the map, "From the Liaodong Peninsula to Dengzhou, the distance is very close. If the Yun Haijun's sea ships and the Song Dynasty naval army ships are transported day and night, 20,000 to 30,000 people will be able to evacuate quickly, so that the army can be safe."

Li Hu had long thought of this solution, but he was worried that the Emperor of Song Dynasty would not agree, "Do you think Your Majesty will agree?"

"Of course I will agree." Li Gang said, "The Liaodong Rebel Army is now the army of the Song Dynasty, and His Majesty's army. He has no reason not to agree."

Li Hu pondered for a moment, "I am not familiar with the affairs of the Song Dynasty, and I don't know how to write this memorial to convince Your Majesty, so..." Li Hu smiled, "I wonder if Deputy Li is willing to write it on his behalf?"

Li Gang agreed without hesitation, "This attack is related to whether the rebels can go south to attack Youyan. I think you should report the entire attack strategy in detail to Your Majesty."

Li Hu refused, "There is no need for this. Many things need to change with the changes in the situation. Today's plan may be useless tomorrow."
