Chapter 83: The Calamity of Separation

An error occurred while processing s private file

March, Datong...\\\\

Han, an envoy of Yanjing, hurried to Datong and urgently sued Li Hu, and Yelu Chun ascended the throne and became emperor.

At the same time, he told Li Hu that according to the exact news, Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan had led a large army to attack Daibei, and Wanyan Yu led his army to guard Zhongjing and maintained an offensive towards Yanjing. Wanyan Gao was the commander of the army inside and outside the Jin army, and Wanyan Zonghan was the deputy commander, and both of them led their troops to Daibei. From this, it can be imagined that the Jin army was bound to win Daibei.

Li Hu was in a heavy mood and asked in a low voice: "How many people are there?"

"It is said that there are more than 200,000." Han also looked worried, "Yelu Yuji is a vanguard army, and he has 100,000 people under him. The Jurchens cannot trust him completely, and they must bring more troops, so this number should be very accurate."

"What are your countermeasures?" Li Hu asked.

"Your Majesty has sent envoys to Bianjing, hoping to delay the attack of the Song army." Han sighed, "But you know that the arrows of the Song people are on the strings are bound to be fired. Whether they can defend Yanjing depends on whether the Tiger King can defeat the Jurchens."

"If the Song army launches an attack, can you ensure that you defend Yanjing?" Li Hu asked, "You must know that if Yanjing falls, even if I defeat the Jurchens, it will be difficult for me to save Datong, because I have too many enemies. If the Song army is added, I will be attacked from all sides and be defeated in an instant."

Being attacked from all sides? Han Lei was stunned for a moment and immediately asked, "The Dangxiang people also want to take advantage of the situation to rob?" "Their vanguard army has entered Dongshengzhou." Li Hu said, "Yesterday, Zhang Guanyu and Ying Qin urgently reported to Datong, saying that the scouts discovered the Xia army in the Jinsu army area. It is estimated that they will soon arrive in Ningbian Prefecture and approach the Yellow River. In addition, we also found the Liao army in the Yuanyangli area. Now Hou is leading his army to the line of Taoshan and Yehuling to be blocked."

Han frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. He suddenly showed joy on his face and said to Li Hu: "The Jurchens entered Daibei and may help you drive away the Liao army."

"What then?" Li Hu asked, "The Liao army traveled far away to Yinshan. The Jurchens also wanted to chase Yinshan? Is Yinshan more attractive than Xijing?"

Han smiled bitterly and speechlessly.

"I plan to defect to the Song Dynasty and ask for help from the Song Dynasty." Before Li Hu finished speaking, Han's face changed suddenly and he exclaimed in a daze, "Tiger King, do you want to bear the alliance? The Song people are determined to be Yan Yun. If Youyan is taken down, you will take Yunshuo. They will get it in front of and behind the mountains. The Emperor of Song will not let you go unless you give him your head."

"No, no..." Li Hu smiled and shook his hand repeatedly, "If I really wanted to join the Song Dynasty, would I tell you? This is just a temporary solution, just to take advantage of the Song Dynasty's rush to regain the Jiuzhou in the back of the mountain to get money, food and weapons from them."

Han didn't believe this sentence. He had been dealing with Li Hu for two or three years, and knew that he was cunning and vicious, and his words were true and false, and he had no way to figure it out. He said it was fake, but if he didn't do it well, it was real.

"Once the Song Dynasty learned that the main force of the Jin army was attacking Xijing, the Dangxiang people were also taking advantage of the situation to rob, and the Liao army might launch a counterattack at any time. The Jiuzhou behind the mountain was in danger. They must turn their attention to Xijing, regardless of whether my enlistment was true or false," Li Hu explained. "As long as you get Xijing and occupy Juyong Pass and Zijin Pass, Yanjing is within your fingers. The Song Dynasty people could not know this. Therefore, I think that seeking to the Song Dynasty at this moment will bring unexpected benefits, and at the same time it can also help you to restrain the Song army and delay their northern expedition."

Han could only accept Li Hu's explanation and could only pray for God's help. "So, what should you do after you defend Xijing? Turning against the Song Dynasty?" This is obviously impossible. Since Li Hu decided to gain a foothold in Daibei and develop in Daibei, he must have a good relationship with the Song Dynasty. In other words, he may turn against him and join forces with the Song Dynasty to fight Youyan.

Now the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty fled far away from the desert, Yelu Chun only guarded Youyan, and Youyan was a place of four battles. Even with the help of Li Hu, Yelu Chun might not be able to defend it. Moreover, Li Hu himself is unable to protect himself now. Is it necessary for him to drag himself into the abyss of defeat in order to help Yelu Chun?

A trace of despair flashed across Han's heart, and he felt that the future was pitch black.

"Tell your emperor to keep Yanjing, otherwise I will be doomed with him." Li Hu said, "I will never betray the covenant, but the premise is that your emperor must keep Yanjing. Otherwise, what's the point of this covenant?"

This is the truth. If Yanjing falls and the alliance loses its foundation, Li Hu has to find a way out. It is just because Zhongjing falls and Li Hu loses confidence in Yelu Chun, so he wants to reserve a way out for himself. This is a common sense. After Yelu Chun became emperor, he sent an envoy to Bianjing to submit to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and is willing to be a vassal country. Isn’t it also worried that Li Hu will fail and reserve a way out for himself?

Li Hu sent Han away and hurriedly sent someone to invite Dong Xiaochou, Luo Qinghan and others to Tongwen Hall.

"Yelu Chun became emperor, but his time for him to be emperor was very bad. He became emperor after losing Zhongjing. His current position is a dead land." Li Hu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "We also imagined that Youyan was the base, but in the end, considering that Youyan was a place of four battles and could not gain a foothold, he had to give up. We were unwilling to gain a foothold in Youyan, let alone Yelu Chun? How could he support the great Liao Kingdom with a dead land?"

This led to a problem. In helplessness, Yelu Chun might bow down to the Song people or the Jurchens, and the rebel army was attacked from both sides.

In the story of Daddy, the Jurchens finally captured Yanjing. As for how they captured it, my father didn't say it. Perhaps because it was not important, or because he didn't remember it. In short, I don't know this detail. Judging from the current situation, Yanjing may have surrendered to the Jurchens in the end.

The failure of the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition means that the Song Dynasty did not accept Yelu Chun, but Yelu Chun currently only has 80,000 troops, and he also has to guard the northern pass of Youyan. With his strength, how can he defeat the Northern Expedition Army of the Song Dynasty? There is only one possibility that he can defeat the Song army, that is, under the pressing of the Song Dynasty, surrendered to the Jurchens, defeated the Song army with the help of the Jurchens, and then because of the great loss of strength, he was easily annexed by the Jurchens.

If this speculation is true, it would not be surprising that I was defeated in Xijing.

Li Hu decided to change his destiny at any cost. So he put forward a suggestion that everyone was stunned, and negotiated peace with the Emperor of the Great Liao and joined forces to fight against the Jin Dynasty.

This suggestion has its feasibility. Because the Jurchens were attacking Daibei. The Jurchens not only wanted to attack Xijing, but also Yinshan, and take all the Daibei prefectures and counties. As the Jurchens entered Daibei, the situation in Daibei changed, Li Hu and the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty ushered in a common enemy, and the two sides had the possibility of an alliance.

"General General, what should I do if Yanjing?" Dong Xiaochou asked, "If Yelu Chun knew that we had betrayed the covenant and was extremely desperate, he might be like Yelu Yukong. He defected to the Jurchens or the Song Dynasty and gave us a fatal blow from behind."

"If we lose, what choice will Yelu Chun make?" Li Hu asked, "Will he continue to obey the covenant and live and die with us?"

Of course this is impossible. Yelu Chun is not so stupid as to be so incredible.

"Since that's the case, why should I obey the alliance?" Li Hu smiled, "If he lost the battle on the Youyan battlefield and lost Yanjing, wouldn't we still be hit by the Song people?"

"What is a covenant?" Huang She interrupted, "The so-called covenant is a need for interest, a compromise on interests. Now that the demand for interest has changed, there is no way to compromise. The covenant is a piece of waste paper."

Dong Xiaochou looked at Li Hu, then Huang She, smiled self-deprecatingly, and stopped talking. When he met these two shameless people, he wanted to maintain integrity, it was a joke.

Several people discussed it, then invited Xiao Temo and Xiao Monknu to talk about the peace talks.

"If you two are willing, please go to Yunzhong to see if you can find your emperor and convey our willingness to form an alliance."

Xiao Temo and Xiao Monk Nu were overjoyed and agreed immediately. Although forming an alliance with Li Hu was tantamount to seeking a flaw with Hu, Yelu Chun was unable to protect himself now. In comparison, the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, with the desert as a solid backing, has the strength to continue the national destiny. If the two sides join forces to overcome this difficult situation together, the Liao Dynasty may still have hope of revitalizing the national destiny.

The two hurried northward. After only two days, Li Hu received the news from the garrison of the Killing Hukou that the envoy of the Great Liao Dynasty arrived, and it was also a prime minister of the Northern Palace. Li Hu immediately applauded and celebrated, and God helped him, and the alliance was successful.

Soon, Li Hu met Xiao Seng Xiaonu. The two sides hit it off and agreed to form an alliance, willing to join forces to fight against the Jurchens. Xiao Seng Xiaonu came in a hurry and did not bring any specific strategies to fight the enemy except for peace talks, but Li Hu thought about it.

Li Hu believed that the primary goal of the Jin army to attack Daibei was Xijing, and secondly it was to occupy prefectures and counties in Yunzhong. Therefore, if you want to defeat the Jin army, you must first disrupt the Jin army's established deployment and mobilize the Jin army to the north to Yinshan to wait for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy. For this reason, Li Hu suggested that the Liao army and the rebel army concentrate the main force in Yunzhong, and then the Emperor of the Great Liao used his body to lure the main force of the Jin army to the Yinshan area and surround and kill the camera.

Xiao Seng Xiaonu could not be the master of this matter. "I will go back to the palace tent day and night to report to Your Majesty. I will come and discuss it immediately after Your Majesty agrees."

"Dangxiang people's army has occupied Jinsu army and Ningbian Prefecture, and the troops entered the Yellow River. Do you know this?" Li Hu asked.

Xiao Seng Xiaonu was shocked, then furious, denounced the Xixia people to betray their faith and take advantage of the situation to rob. The Xixia army was an important force to recover Xijing. Now, no matter what, the intention of the two sides to join forces to attack Li Hu cannot be exposed, so Xiao Seng Xiaonu was very straightforward and vetoed it.

"Do you know what Yelu Chun is doing to be the emperor in Yanjing?" Li Hu asked again.

Xiao Seng Xiaonu didn't know about this. He always thought that Yelu Chun gave up usurpating the Great Liao after he threw away Zhongjing, because it would be no good for everyone to split the Great Liao. Unexpectedly, Yelu Chun went crazy and actually usurped the emperor and split the Great Liao. At this critical moment, this was equivalent to directly destroying the Great Liao. The Great Liao was over.
