Ma Kuo disagrees with Li Hu's statement.\\The goal of the Song Dynasty was to recover Yanyun's hometown and rebuild the Central Plains barrier. If you want to achieve this goal, you will definitely tear up the alliance with Liao, attack or even destroy Liao. Now the Liao Kingdom has lost Tokyo Road and Shangjing Road, and the five capitals have lost three of them. In addition, the battles are fought every year, and the strength is seriously lost, which is a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation to deal with severe damage.

"I will join forces with Liao and Jin to stop Jin, which is not conducive to the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty, and it is even more unfavorable for the Song Dynasty to recover its homeland." Ma Kuo begged, "Please give the overall situation first, understand the difficulties of Your Majesty and the Song Dynasty, and do your best to attack Yanjing. If Yan Yun can recover, the most benefit will be the millions of people in the Song Dynasty."

This sentence made Li Hu very disgusted. Ma Kuo used the lives and deaths of the people to deceive and threaten himself, and he could no longer bear it.

"Your Majesty had an agreement with me at the beginning." Li Hu suppressed his anger and said slowly, "In order to cooperate with the Song army's northern expedition, while attacking Yanjing, I had to hold back the Liao army in Zhongjing and block the Jin army's southward advance. Judging from the current situation, my continued attack on Yanjing is equivalent to helping the Jin army go south, unless I fight on two fronts, but with the strength of the rebel army, my current financial and material resources, I have no way to fight on two fronts."

Li Hu stared at Ma Kuo and asked, "What is the purpose of your Majesty's repeated requests to attack Yanjing? Is it for the Northern Expedition or to kill me? If I was defeated and the Song army failed to carry out the Northern Expedition, what situation will the Song Dynasty face after the Jurchens destroyed the Liao Kingdom? Is my existence no benefit to the Song Dynasty? As a vassal state, I will defend the Youyan border for the Song Dynasty and resist the Jin army, which will harm the Song Dynasty but will not benefit?"

Ma Kuo heard Li Hu's dissatisfaction from this sentence, and he was even more dissatisfied.

"You seem to have made your position wrong. Although you are a vassal state, Your Majesty is a lord and a minister. Your Majesty asks you to attack Youyan. If you don't listen or disobey it, that is to resist the order. Besides, Your Majesty's favor to you not only gives you high-ranking officials, but also tries to help you. You sold 400 stalemates of war horses. Why did Your Majesty agree? You don't want to give you more assistance. But what about you? How did you repay Your Majesty? As early as March, Your Majesty asked you to attack, but you disobeyed it without any action. Now that the Jurchens have taken Shangjing, the Khitans are in danger. It is a good opportunity to attack Youyan, but you are even more overwhelmed. You directly resist the order." Ma Kuo asked angrily, "I really don't understand whether you want to return to the Heavenly Kingdom to achieve the long-cherished wish of your ancestors, or do you want to deceive the Song Dynasty to take the opportunity to strengthen yourself and become king in Liaodong?"

When both sides say this, the scene seems embarrassing.

Huang She immediately came out to smooth things over. The Song Dynasty was the God of Wealth of the Rebel Army. The way this God of Wealth was in the typical business style. He would never make investments without profits, nor would he give alms arbitrarily. Even so, the Rebel Army also made amazing profits in the return of both sides, so the God of Wealth should not offend him no matter what. Be careful to serve in order to continue making money.

"Empress, Your Majesty has difficulties, and we also have difficulties." Huang She smiled and said, "For us, survival is the top priority. Although we are full of enthusiasm for serving the country and are willing to sacrifice our lives for the Song Dynasty, the premise is that we must live. If we die, what country will we still repay? Not to mention cooperating with the Song army to recover our hometown."

Ma Kuo became even more angry when he heard this. He cursed himself. You Han captains were cunning and greedy. They had more than 100,000 troops in their hands and said what survival problems were there? It was simply a joke. The so-called survival problems were not whether you could survive. But how to survive. How to find a way to become king. Thinking of the future terrain, he couldn't help but worry. Li Hu and Chen Bing were raising energy in the southeast. He would become stronger and stronger. He would not lose his strength in the future. It would definitely be a disaster.

"We got an uncertain news from the Jin Kingdom." Huang She continued. "I heard that His Majesty is discussing with the Jurchens to join forces to attack Liao territory."

Ma Kuo was prepared and immediately rejected it.

This matter cannot be admitted. It is obvious. Putting aside Li Hu and joining forces with the Jurchens to attack Liao. To put it bluntly, he does not trust Li Hu. Since he does not trust Li Hu, the Song Dynasty is now taking advantage of Li Hu. When the time is right, he will definitely solve Li Hu. From this, it is possible to imagine what kind of fierce reaction Li Hu would react. Now Li Hu has not publicly turned against him. He just refuses to attack Youyan. He mainly wants to maintain an intimate relationship with the Song Dynasty, and then obtain money and food from Huiyi, and develop and strengthen himself. It is just that the foundation of trust that both sides finally established was destroyed in a blink of an eye.

Ma Kuo sighed secretly. His Majesty tried his best to fight the Northern Expedition and tried his best to solve the internal problems and the external problems must be solved. Unfortunately, the internal problems have not been solved yet. The external problems have caused great trouble again. The Northern Expedition is really difficult.

"Your Majesty wants to join forces with the Jurchens to attack Liao. We can understand this." Huang She smiled. "Our rebel army has too limited strength. Even if we cooperate with the Song army's northern expedition, it is difficult to ensure success. Therefore, we support Your Majesty's strategy of joining Jin to attack Liao. It's just..." Huang Shetuo's long-term accent. He looked at Ma Kuo and said bluntly. "Our rebel army is also a force in Liaodong. It is closely related to Liaodong's future interests. Is it inappropriate to leave us outside this alliance?"

Ma Kuo didn't speak, and he couldn't speak either.

The reason why the Song Dynasty decided to send envoys to form an alliance with the Jin Dynasty was, on the one hand, because of the lack of strength of the rebel army, and on the other hand, it was also worried that the rebel army would rise rapidly and would not lose its end in the future, causing disasters to the vassal states. Therefore, this alliance will never allow the rebel army to participate.

If the rebels participate, it is actually equivalent to the equality of the Song and Jin countries. The impact of this on the future Liaodong pattern is imaginable. Therefore, when the Song Dynasty or the Jurchens were negotiating each other, they had a tacit understanding of each other and did not mention the Liaodong rebels. The meaning behind it is very obvious. The first target of the two countries is the Liao Kingdom, and the second target is the Liaodong rebels. Neither the Song or Jin, they will never let this Han captive exist.

"Of course, this news has not been confirmed yet, it is just a rumor." Huang She laughed and stroked his beard and said, "However, there is no wind and waves. Since we heard this rumor, we had to prepare for it so that we would not be sold and would foolishly help others calculate the money. So, after we discussed it, we immediately decided to join Liao and Jin and transfer the main force to the Jin front line."

"As early as February, the Emperor of Liao had sent people to recruit and pacify the emperor, and the conditions were very good. Later, the envoys of Liao frequently came to Runzhou. The special envoy Han simply stayed in Runzhou for a while, and the conditions were better every time." Huang She pointed at Li Gang, "The envoy Li has reported to Your Majesty for this matter. I believe you know that the alliance with Liao and Jin also meets Your Majesty's earliest Northern Expedition strategy. Keeping the Jurchens out of the Zhongjing Road is also one of the conditions to ensure the success of the Song army's Northern Expedition."

"Your Majesty has never expressed his opinion on this matter. Obviously, he acquiesced to us to do this, but suddenly, Your Majesty changed his plan. When the Song army was not ready for the Northern Expedition, we asked us to continue to attack Youyan and fight with the Liao people, rather than blocking the Jurchens' pace of going south. This is too strange and seriously in line with the interests of the Song Dynasty." Huang She asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty really sent someone to sign a covenant with the Jurchens to attack Liao? Otherwise, how could such a self-destructive plan appear?"

Ma Kuo was speechless and had to make excuses by replying to Bianjing.

Huang She's words have already made the needs of the rebel army clear. First, the Liao people have good conditions for recruiting and pledging kings, and they have been granted the title of kings and established vassals, allowing the Liaodong Han people to become independent palaces and establish their own independent small kingdoms. On the contrary, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty has not even had a royal title, and the vassal states have made a short promise. In comparison, the Liaodong rebel army has changed courses and defected to the Daliao, which is absolutely cost-effective in terms of interests. Secondly, and the most important point, the rebel army must participate in the sharing of future Liaodong interests as an independent person. Li Hu wants to get a piece of the pie in the big pot of Liaodong. If he doesn't give it to him, the consequence is that the former is, and Li Hu may have to turn to the Daliao.

The Han captives were on the fence, despicable, shameless, treacherous, and authentic villains were really not enough to believe, and even less enough to make plans with them.

Before leaving, Ma Kuo had a long talk with Li Gang.

Li Gang has been in the rebel army for more than half a year and has a certain understanding of Li Hu and the Liaodong rebel army. He believes that the Liaodong Han people yearn for returning to the Heavenly Kingdom, which is a kind of unforgettable feeling, sincere and touching. "Please go back and report to Your Majesty. The Han people and the Celestial Empire in Liaodong have only been separated by 150 or 60 years. They are also Chinese. The same blood flows in their bodies. Please show your sincerity, recognize them, recognize them, accept them, and trust them."

"Trust is mutual and needs to be given together. With Your Majesty's current attitude, it will not only fail to win the trust of the Han people in Liaodong, but will also backfire, which will disappoint and frustrate the Han people in Liaodong and despair. Finally, it has to fight for their own survival. The result is self-evident, which is not conducive to the Northern Expedition, but also to the security of the Song Dynasty in the future."

"As far as the current situation is concerned, it is very beneficial for the Song Dynasty to join forces with Liao and suppress Jin. Just wait for the time to ripe, you can attack Yanyun in the north. There is no need to join forces with Jin and attack Liao."
