Huo Liuge and Ma Liang soon met Yelu Chun.

Although this great figure who was facing a dangerous situation, he was still calm and composed. Judging from his attitude and tone of speaking, this alliance seemed not to be urgently needed, but Li Hu couldn't wait, which made Brother Hu extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, Ma Liang kept Li Hu's instructions in mind and responded carefully to avoid delaying the matter.

Yelu Chun's request was that the rebel army immediately withdraw from western Liaoning, the faster the better. Huo Liuge said that this is not something that can be solved in one sentence, and it takes time to prepare. Yelu Chun said, you need time, but I don't have time, the troops of the Song and Jin dynasties may attack at any time, and I want to take back western Liaoning as quickly as possible to ensure that you defend Zhongjing. I can try my best to make up for your losses.

Since time is tight and Yelu Chun is willing to compensate the rebel army for the losses, it would be meaningless for both sides to chat in Yanjing again. So Brother Huo Liu suggested that you send someone to western Liaoning with me. While I withdraw my troops, you can drive the army in, without delay.

Yelu Chun agreed and ordered the commander of the southern commander Yelu Dashi, the governor of Guangling Army, to the secretary of the Central Secretariat, Zuo Qigong followed Huo Liuge to western Liaoning to handle the matter with full authority.

Yang Pu, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, came to western Liaoning. They came to find out the news and wanted to confirm whether Li Hu had conquered Xijing and whether he was going to attack Yanjing.

In July this year, Li Hu attacked Yanjing. He agreed to attack the Jin Kingdom from north to south. However, Li Hu flicked a shot and suddenly ran to attack Xijing. After the news reached the Jin Kingdom, the Jurchens thought it was reasonable. Li Hu always used troops like this, and he would not do such a thing as a force to attack Yanjing. Yanjing was strong and had many defenders. The damage to the strong attack was too great. It would be better to use a surprise army to raid Xijing so that the tiger could be lured out of the mountain, lured the main force of the Liao army from Yanjing to Xijing, and then kill back. Taking advantage of the empty time of Yanjing, he gave another fatal blow.

The Jurchens thought that they had seen through Li Hu's tricks, and then planned to take advantage of the Yanjing army to support Datong to attack Zhongjing. At that time, even if Li Hu interfered, the Liaoxi army secretly forced the Jin army to elbow the Jin army. It would be difficult to stop the Jin army's pace of going south. Who knew that the situation developed greatly beyond their expectations. Recently, there was news that Li Hu had captured Xijing. The Jurchens could not believe it, because Xijing was also tall and strong, and had many troops. Why did Li Hu capture Xijing in such a short time?

However, if this news is true, the situation in Liaodong will completely change. Li Hu occupied Xijing and his strength increased greatly. Next, he could carry out east-west attacks with the rebels in western Liaoning. He took Yanjing, so the Jurchens lost the opportunity and were firmly blocked by Li Hu. If they wanted to go south to develop in the future, it would be extremely difficult.

The Jurchens could not sit still, and while mobilizing the army, they sent envoys.

Yang Pu accompanied Hu Tu to meet Luo Sinan. The Jurchens were flickering words, but Luo Sinan was generous and told Yang Pu that he had recently received a letter from the Tiger King, and learned that he had captured Xijing and was now attacking Fengshengzhou. According to the deployment of the Tiger King, next spring, the rebel army will attack Yanjing from east to west. Luo Sinan said that if the Jin army can cooperate with Zhongjing at that time, the Tiger King will not be very grateful.

Yang Pu was secretly surprised. Li Hu was too powerful. He took Xijing within a few months. His strength expanded too quickly and posed a threat to the Jin Kingdom. In addition, Luo Sinan's words were obviously problematic. She seemed to be intentionally deceiving the Jurchens. Because judging from the current situation, if Li Hu wanted to attack Yanjing, it would be around the New Year. He would never wait until next spring.

"Madam, the Song army gathered in Hebei. Don't you know?" Yang Pu asked.

"Of course I know." Luo Sinan smiled. "My Liaoxi army is gathering. Once the army gathers in Pingzhou Road, the Song people will definitely notice it. They will immediately launch a northern expedition to capture Yanjing in front of us. When they fight with the Khitans, we can benefit."

"Don't the Song people sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight?" Yang Pu asked again.

"If they sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, they may lose their last chance to recover Youyan." Luo Sinan said calmly. "Because after your army takes Zhongjing, they will go south immediately. The Song people may face two opponents at the same time. I think they will not ignore this issue."

A hint of nervousness flashed through Yang Pu's heart. If the Song people relied on their strength and were eager to enter Youyan to recover their hometown, they would be very likely to fall into a trap. Li Hu was not an ordinary opponent. He was too cunning. The Song people might not be their opponent. Once Li Hu occupied Yan Yun, the Jurchens could only stop at the Great Wall. There would be troubles in the future.

The only way at present is to take the lead in attacking Zhongjing. Before Li Hu was ready to attack Yanjing, he took Zhongjing, and then attacked the Song army from north to south, kill Yanjing, and first captured the emperor of the Liao Dynasty. Now whoever catches the emperor of the Liao Dynasty will be able to seize the opportunity.

Yang Pu did not dare to stay for a long time and hurriedly left. Before leaving, he went to pay homage to Wanyan Xingxing. Wanyan Xingxing told him that Luo Sinan had ordered the General General's Mansion and the Old Camp to go to Pingzhou Road and that it was probably about to fight. Yang Pu was even more convinced of his judgment and rushed back to Huanglong Mansion in a hurry.

The envoy of the Jin Kingdom had just left, and the envoy of the Song Dynasty arrived. This time, Ma Kuo and Zhao Liangsi came together to discuss the attack on Yanjing with the rebel army.

Li Gang, who came to greet them, looked solemn, and said in one sentence that the two were dumbfounded, "Li Hu captured Xijing."

"How is this possible?" Ma Kuo exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

Zhao Liangsi lowered his head in frustration and sighed speechlessly.

It was because the Emperor of the Song Dynasty received the exact news that Li Hu suddenly entered Xijing Road, so he resolutely decided to launch a Northern Expedition. Although the opposition in the court was very fierce, and although most ministers advised the emperor to accept the conditions of the Liao Dynasty and unite Liao to resist the Jin Dynasty in order to easily recover the seven states in front of the mountain, Li Hu was not an ordinary rebel, nor was he an insignificant little thief. He had amazing skills. After he entered Xijing Road, he was very likely to create miracles, seize Xijing, and then occupy Jiuzhou behind the mountain. Such a sudden increase in strength. Even if he fulfilled his promise in the future, he would return to the Heavenly Kingdom to be a vassal state, but it would be a vassal state that would not lose a huge threat to the Song Dynasty.

However, everything was too late. Li Hu occupied Xijing and took the Jiuzhou in the back of Shanhou, and was already full of wings. If he and the western Liaoning rebels carried out east-west attacks to capture Yanjing and take Yanyun all, how would the Song Dynasty face such a fierce tiger?

"It's all Fang La, and it's all Fang La to cause trouble." Ma Kuo sighed to the sky, and couldn't help but remember Li Hu's warning to him. Although Fang La rebelled for only more than half a year, he changed the situation in the world. He forced the Song Dynasty to postpone the Northern Expedition. If Fang La had not rebelled, if the Northwest Army had launched the Northern Expedition in October last year, the Xijing would not be in the hands of Li Hu, but in the hands of the Song Dynasty.

"This is not caused by Fang La, but by Hua Shigang, which is the result of Cai Jing's implementation of the new policy." Li Gang did not dare to blame the emperor for bluntly, so he had to blame Hua Shigang and Cai Jing. "Li Hu had accurately predicted the development of the situation in Liaodong as early as last year. He repeatedly asked the Song army to attack the northern expedition and demanded the Song army to seize Xijing, but we could not do it. Li Hu had no choice but to risk the entire army being wiped out and expedition to Xijing. If he could not capture Xijing now, then it can be foreseeable that Xijing would be the treasure of the Jurchens."

Zhao Liangsi nodded repeatedly, "Indeed, our current target is Youyan. If Li Hu stayed in western Liaoning, we would only take one Yanjing at most and recover the seven states in the first seven mountains. After the Jurchens captured Zhongjing, they would definitely seize Xijing as quickly as possible. In this way, we would only regain half of our hometown, and there would be wars in the future."

Li Gang and Zhao Liangsi's words made Ma Kuo very harsh. He asked loudly: "What should I do about the disaster of the vassal states? Don't you think about the future? Have you forgotten the heinous sins committed by Shi Jingtang?"

"The vassal states are the vassal states of the Song Dynasty, Yan Yun is the Yan Yun of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty regained its hometown and rebuilt the barrier of the Central Plains. This is the most important thing." Li Gang frowned and was very dissatisfied with Ma Kuo's remarks. "In your opinion, I would rather give Xijing to the Jurchens than to use Xijing as Li Hu's vassal state? Is Li Hu's threat to the Song Dynasty greater than the Jurchens' threat to the Song Dynasty? Li Hu is a Han Chinese, a Han Chinese. Like us, he is a descendant of Yan Huang, with the blood of our Chinese flowing in his body. His threat to the Song Dynasty is far less than the Jurchens' threat to the Song Dynasty. Do you not even know this?"

Ma Kuo certainly knew it, so he was even more afraid. If Li Hu and Dong Pang'er were a genuine Liaodong Han Dynasty, Ma Kuo would not be as nervous or fearful as he is now.

Luo Sinan was very polite to the two envoys of the Heavenly Kingdom and explained in detail the fact that Li Hu captured Xijing and was preparing to attack Yanjing next spring.

"A few days ago, the Jin Dynasty envoy also came." Luo Sinan said, "As for the current situation, we estimate that the Jurchens will take the lead in order to capture Zhongjing and force Youyan." Luo Sinan pointed to Li Gang, "We have discussed carefully and believed that the faster the Song army's northern expedition, the better. If the Jin army seized Zhongjing first, they could not only go south to fight, but also take advantage of our attack on Yanjing and attack Xijing. We are very likely to lose sight of each other."

Zhao Liangsi thought it made sense, but Ma Kuo didn't think so. The Song army immediately launched the northern expedition, and Li Hu was just watching the tiger's fight. He could get the advantage. If Yanjing was stolen by Li Hu in the end, what would happen to the Song Dynasty in the future? So the Song Dynasty had to take Yanjing no matter what. From this point on, the Song army could not attack the northern expedition now. It would have to wait until the Jin army captured Zhongjing and posed a threat to Xijing and western Liaoning. Li Hu dared not move, and the Song army launched another attack.

"The Song army needs to make a lot of preparations in the northern expedition." Ma Kuo said, "The weather is getting colder and colder now. Once it snows, the transportation of food and grass will become a problem, so the Song army will have to wait until the beginning of next spring before going north to attack."
