Li Hu made full preparations and sweared to the Khitans, but he was indisputable with the Jurchens, trying his best to delay the attack.

In a blink of an eye, September began, and Li Hu still held his troops.

Liao and Jin countries understood Li Hu's little thoughts and knew that he was deliberately trying to consume the strength of the Liao and Jin armies, but due to the situation, he could only grit his teeth at him, but there was no way.

Li Hu was not afraid of threats from the Liao and Jin dynasties, but was very worried that the Song people would break their promises and delay the Northern Expedition. If the Song people could not make the Northern Expedition on schedule and could not attract the troops of Nanjing Road to Xijing, the difficulty of the rebels attacking Yanjing would increase exponentially, and the outcome would be unpredictable. For this reason, Li Hu reported to Bianjing four times in a month, explaining in detail the development of the situation in Liaodong, and begging the Emperor of Song to launch the Northern Expedition in October.

On the tenth day of September, Yang Pu and Wuyan hurried to Jinzhou. They brought the latest news about Huanglong Mansion, postponed the Tokyo War, and asked Li Hu to hold back temporarily and not launch an attack.

Li Hu was so proud. It seemed that the Juzhenren saw that the coercion and temptation did not work, so he changed his move and used retreat as advance to see who could waste the money. He was proud, but Wuyan secretly revealed a message, which immediately made him unable to laugh.

The Jurchens postponed the Tokyo War, not targeting Li Hu at all, but had no choice but to do so because the Zhukuma Water Rebellion rebelled. Shiriguda, the leader of the Zhukuma Water Rebellion, killed local officials and led nearly 10,000 troops to fight against Huanglong Mansion. At this moment, one of the main forces of the Jin army was attacking Zhongjing, and the other blocked the Liao army at the Targas Mountain. The Huanglong Mansion had an empty force and the situation was extremely critical.

Where is the Zhukuma Water Division? It is in the Wutun River Basin (that is, the Wutong River Basin on the southeastern foot of the Little Xing'an Mountains) which is a branch of the Jurchens. The Jurchens were rebelled in their nests.

It should be good news for the Jurchens to oppose Li Hu in their nest, but in terms of the current situation, it is news that is too bad to be worse.

"How is the strength of the Zhukuma Water Tribe? Will it threaten the safety of Huanglong Mansion?" Li Hu asked with a hint of luck.

"The key now is not the strength of the Shukuma Water Tribe and whether it will threaten the security of Huanglong Mansion, but the rebellion of the Shukuma Water Tribe directly affected the control of the entire Jurchen tribe by Wanyan tribe. It affected the stability of the Jurchen Alliance."

Li Hu could understand this. The Wanyan tribe unified the Jurchen tribe. It was not because of blood and brotherhood. It was because of force and massacre. The rebellion of the Jurchen tribe was not terrible. It was terrible that other Jurchen tribes might have risen and responded. The Jurchen tribe might collapse instantly. The Jin Kingdom fell apart in a short time. Therefore, Wanyan Aguda must withdraw his troops. He must bloodily suppress the Jurchen tribe in the shortest time to firmly control the Jurchen tribe and ensure the safety of the Jin Kingdom.

If Wanyan Aguda withdraws his troops, Li Hudi's complete plan will be ruined. He can only wait for the opportunity.

Li Hu's head was about to explode. He made a lot of calculations, but he didn't count on the rebellion of the Jurchens.

"The Jin army is going to withdraw?"

"Wanyan Olu has already left Mount Tarras with 30,000 troops and is heading back to Huanglong Mansion day and night." Wuyan said. "But Wanyan Aguda dares not withdraw now because the battlefield situation is not good for him. If he suddenly evacuated, the Liao army would pursue him. Shangjing might be lost and regained. What made him worried was that you still remained in control of your troops. If he withdraws his troops at the same time, and you will attack with the Liao people, then Tokyo may also be lost. The Jin army fought on both sides. There is rebellion inside. The result can be imagined."

Li Hu was extremely frustrated and sighed to the sky. It was true that people planned things and accomplished things. This was true. "How could I attack Tokyo at this time? Helping the Khitans attack Tokyo is equivalent to suicide. I am not so stupid as to the point. I want to have a three-point pattern. Unfortunately... it's a pity that the best opportunity was missed in vain."

There was a fierce debate in the General's Mansion.

Some people had completely opposite ideas from Li Hu. They believed that this was the best opportunity for the rebel army to develop. Taking advantage of the internal and external difficulties of the Jurchens, they took decisive attacks and took over Tokyo. They first established the Han Palace, thus laying the foundation of the Han Kingdom.

Now there is a court battle in Liao. There are attacks from the Song and Jin countries outside. In the short term, they have to deal with the northern expedition of the Song people and recover Shangjing. When fighting on both sides, it is impossible to turn against the rebels. The Jin people not only have to fight against the Liao army and the rebels, but also to quell the internal rebellion, which is equivalent to fighting on the third line and being even more difficult to deal with. In this case, the rebels can easily occupy Tokyo and then divide the Northeast Road equally with the Jurchens. In order to revive the situation, the Khitans will also strive to maintain the three-point pattern in the future, and then give themselves time to breathe.

To sum up, the rebel army had sufficient reasons to launch the Tokyo War immediately, and the attack on Yanjing could be temporarily given up. For the Han people in Liaodong, relying on the Song Dynasty to gain a foothold in Youyan, they felt deeply trapped in the cage and had no confidence. On the contrary, they captured Tokyo, stood in the southeast corner, established the Han Kingdom on the territory of the former Bohai Kingdom, and fought against familiar opponents on familiar lands. They had strong confidence.

Those who hold this view account for the majority, and they look forward to Li Hu's ordering the Tokyo War.

Li Hu flatly rejected it.

His idea was to give up the Tokyo War and transfer all the main forces to Pingzhou Road, preparing to attack Yanjing to cooperate with the Song army's northern expedition.

There are several uncertainties in launching the Tokyo War at this moment. First, how big is the rebellion of the Shunkuma Water Tribe? How long can it last? Will the Jurchens' major alliance collapse because of this? If the rebellion of the Shunkuma Water Tribe is not large and lasts very short, it will have no impact on the situation in the Jin Dynasty. If the Jurchens' major alliance is very stable, this rebellion will not cause any trouble, and the Jurchens still have enough strength to defend Tokyo.

Secondly, what is the goal of the Khitans? Obviously, it is going to the capital to regain their foundation to stabilize the hearts of the Khitans. If the Liao army regained Shangjing, it stopped fighting, sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and prepared for the fisherman to benefit, then we would definitely return in vain. In terms of the strength of the rebel army, no matter how hard it is to fight with the Jurchens at this time, it would be a destruction of defeat. Judging from the current situation of the Liao Kingdom, its treasury is unable to bear the long-term battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is even less able to launch an Eastern Expedition, so the Liao army will definitely miss this opportunity.

Third, can the Northern Song Dynasty go on the way? The Song army fights the northern expedition and the Liao army fights on both sides. They can no longer help us to attack Tokyo, nor can they help us threaten Huanglong Prefecture in the direction of Shangjing. The basis of the three-point pattern in Liaodong is to unite Liao and stop Jin. If the Khitans are unable to help, our reliance on threatening the Jurchens will be gone, and even if the rebels seize Tokyo, they may not be able to defend it.

To sum up, in a word, the rebel army is insufficient to compete with the Jin army. If we want to establish a three-point pattern, we must first join forces with Liao and stop Jin. To fight Tokyo, we must join forces with Liao army. The Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty and the Liao treasury dragged the Liao army. Therefore, before the situation is clear, the rebel army's primary task is to ensure its own strength, that is, the Tokyo War cannot be fought.

Both sides have their own reasons, but at the very least, it is because they cannot accurately predict the development of the future situation, so they discussed and decided to observe patiently for a while.

This period was very difficult. Li Hu and the officials of the General Administration stayed asleep all night, and the soldiers of the front line were also ready to launch an attack at any time. On September 20, Yelu Dashi came to Jinzhou again and urged Li Hu to send troops. This time, Li Hu had a reason to make excuses. The Jurchens came and said that the Tokyo War was postponed and told us to hold back. If I force the attack now, it would be like exposing my true intentions, and the Jurchens would definitely not be fooled.

Yelu Dashi immediately thought of the battlefield in Zhongjing. According to Xiao Degong, Wanyan Aguda stopped attacking in recent times. Did something happen to the Jin Dynasty? Then he thought of a secret report from Yanjing that the Song army had gathered in Taiyuan recently and seemed to have had some major military operations. This news was sent by the people of Xixia. They were worried that the Song army would go north to conquer, so they specially asked the Liao Kingdom to pay attention. If the Song army attacked Xixia, they would ask Liao Kingdom to help. Yanjing considered the situation in Liaodong and was also concerned that the Song and Jin had the intention to join forces to attack Liao, so they asked Xiao Degong and Yelu Yu to catch the war as soon as possible to prevent accidents.

The more Yelu Dashi thought about it, the more scared he became. If the Song and Jin teamed up to attack Liao, then this time Wanyan Agu attacked south to attack Zhongjing might be a trick to lure the enemy to help the Song army launch a northern expedition. Once the Song army's northern expedition begins, the Liao army will fight on both sides, and what is even more terrifying is that Li Hu is lying in the east of Youyan and staring at him covetously. If he takes the opportunity to attack Yanjing, then the Liao Kingdom is very likely to lose Xijing, Zhongjing and Yanjing, and the country will be defeated every now and then.

Yelu Dashi did not dare to delay, so he said goodbye in a hurry, and urgently reported his speculation to Xiao Degong and Yelu Yu to see it.
