"When will the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty arrive?"
This is the most concerned issue for the generals of the resentful army...
"The reinforcements of the Song Dynasty may not be able to enter the mountain in the short term. After all, Bianjing is too far away from Datong, and negotiations will take time, and it will take two months at the earliest." Li Hu said.
"So, we only need to hold on for two months and the Song Dynasty reinforcements will arrive." Zuo Chuanrong asked in surprise.
"Yes, there should be no problem." Li Hu didn't even blink when he lied. Now he needs to use this news to boost the morale of the army and give confidence and hope to the soldiers on the front line.
"How many reinforcements are there?" Hu Jiayong also asked excitedly.
"It is said that there are 100,000 Jin troops on Hedong Road." Li Hu smiled, "If all the Song troops go north to support us, we will have 100,000 support us."
Except for Dong Xiaochou, the other generals of the resentful army were surprised and happy, and were more confident in defending Datong. Dong Xiaochou knew the whole story. Like Luo Qinghan, he firmly opposed allowing the Song army to enter the mountain. This would directly affect the situation in Daibei after the war. For this reason, he hoped to defeat the Jin army as soon as possible and prevent the Song army from entering the mountain.
"General Manager, we urgently need a victory. Are you meeting Yelu Ma Ge and having a specific talk?" Dong Xiaohou reminded. It is temporary to encourage morale with lies. If the lies are exposed, morale will be even more sluggish, which is far less true than a victory.
"The letter told Yelu Ma Ge that I want to see him and I will see him soon." Li Hu immediately ordered the mountain to wait for Yelu Ma Ge's arrival.
Dong Xiaochou's face looked a little ugly, and he looked exhausted. It was obvious that he did not sleep well last night. Last night, Li Hu told him the Yanjing proposal and the Jurchens and Yelu Chun that he was seriously ill, which made Dong Xiaochou unable to sleep all night. The situation of the rebel army was getting more and more difficult, and the only way was to defeat the Jin army, but what method could be used to defeat the Jurchens? He was unwilling to enter the back of the Song reinforcements, but now he hoped that the Song army would come to help immediately. However, this was impossible, and as Li Hu said, the Song people may not be willing to send reinforcements, because the Song people's primary target was Youyan, not the back of the mountain.
"Do you want to tell Yelu Ma Ge about Yanjing?" Dong Xiaohou asked suddenly. "If we want to win a battle, we must work together with Yelu Ma Ge. If we want to work together, we must trust each other. Otherwise..."
"I thought about it for a long time and decided to accept your proposal and tell Yelu Mage about the land of Yanjing." Li Hu said. "In the Datong land, Yelu Mage and Xiao Seng and Xiao Nu both made clear statements. They were willing to respect Yelu Chun as the Emperor of the Great Liao. This is the basis for our joint cooperation. The purpose of the two of them was to save the Great Liao Kingdom. The solution was to defeat the Jurchens on the Daibei battlefield and then recover Zhongjing. So they had high hopes for this battle. After winning this battle, they recovered Zhongjing. Only then could they deposed the emperor with Yelu Chun and revived the Great Liao."
Dong Xiaochou looked at him and smiled and said, "Do you think they still have the possibility of reviving the Great Liao?"
"Of course there is." Li Hu said. "Don't forget. They still have people supporting the reinforcements. The Khitans wanted to use us to defeat the Jurchens and the Dangxiang people to defeat us. Then they were good at fishermen and profitable. Sometimes I really can't understand why there are so many people in the world, including these kings and ministers in a country. Why do they all want to take advantage of others' land and want to get something for nothing?"
"This is human and earth's nature."
"If this becomes the nature of the country, the country will perish." Li Hu sighed. "I have experienced hardships since I was a child. I know that there has never been any land in this world for nothing."
After hearing Li Hu's words, Yelu Ma Ge looked shocked and speechless for a while.
"This must be Yanjing's delaying strategy." Ma Ge said, "The Song army is about to fight the Northern Expedition, and Yanjing is unable to fight on both sides, so he can only discuss peace with the Jurchens."
"But the problem is that if we lose consecutive battles on the Daibei battlefield, Yanjing will be in despair and will most likely ask the Jin army to enter the jurisdiction for help." Li Hu said, "If you were in Yanjing and face the fierce army of the Song Dynasty, what should you do? Surrender to the Song Dynasty?"
"The Song Dynasty did a great job." Brother Ma was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised his whip and whipped it hard on the big tree beside him. "Previously, the emperor used to cede land in exchange for assistance, but the Song Dynasty ignored it. Now the King of Yan even made a confession, but the Song Dynasty refused. Don't the emperor of the Song Dynasty think that if the Khitans are destroyed, there will be no hero in the north? Will Wanyan Aguda keep the alliance and stop outside the pass? It's ridiculous, the Khitans are destroyed, the Song Dynasty is buried.
The good days are over, and the war in the Central Plains will surely soar into the sky. Although the Khitans who lost their country were unable to resist the Jurchens, they would impose ten resentments from the fallen country on the Song Dynasty a hundred times. They would help the Jurchens to go south to plunder the Song Dynasty and help the Jurchens massacre the Song Dynasty. The Song people did the most stupid thing. In the future, the emperor of the Song Dynasty looked at the Central Plains where the mourn was everywhere, and they would regret this stupid decision today."
Li Hu was secretly shocked, his heart was beating "bang" and his strong sense of suffocation made him a little dizzy.
"What do you mean?" Dong Xiaochou asked coldly, "Can the Jin army enter the pass, and Yanjing still be saved? Can we still be defending Daibei? What are the benefits for you when the Khitans are destroyed? Do you also want to be the Jurchen dog? This time we invite you to discuss defeating the Jurchen area."
"Defeat the Jurchens? What to defeat them? I have only 20,000 people in my hands, and you only have 100,000 troops. We are less than half of the Jurchens. How can we fight? Also, the reinforcements of the Jin army are coming from Shangjing, Zhongjing. In a few days, the Jin army's troops may be three times that of ours. How can we defeat the Golden Dog?"
"Where are your reinforcements? Where are your Northwest Road Army?" Dong Xiaohou asked, "You said they will arrive at the battlefield at the latest at the end of last month. Where are they?
Yelu Ma Ge smiled bitterly, and his smile was even worse than crying.
"Where is the army? Tell me, where are they?"
"The Bubu people rebelled." Ma Ge lamented in pain, "The Bubu people rebelled again."
Li Hu and Dong Xiaohou looked at each other with a confused look on their faces.
The Great Liao really couldn't do it, it was completely impossible. The desert was half of the world of the Bu people, and half of the enemy of Wugu. The Bu people and Wugu, the enemy people, raised flags to rebel in order to resist the enslavement of the Khitans, especially the Bu people, who continued to move forward and went forward. At this critical moment, the Bu people rebelled again, and the last place where the Khitans survived was in danger. The Northwest Army of the Dalia had no choice but to give up supporting Daibei and put all their efforts to quell the rebellion.
Dong Xiaochou shook her head repeatedly, the situation was getting worse and worse, the Khitans and Han people were falling into the abyss quickly. He walked to Ma Ge and patted him on the shoulder, "There is no Northwest Army, you still have Yelu Foding's Southwest Army and Yelu Deguang's Tribal Army..."
"Do they listen to me or the emperor..." Brother Ma could no longer help him and shouted in a hoarse voice, "What am I? I am just a little king of the North Courtyard. Who can I command? If they all listen to me, can you occupy Xijing?"
"Even if we can't occupy Xijing, can you stop the Jin army from entering Daibei?" Dong Xiaohou asked. "It's not yet reached the point of despair, and we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory."
"Where is it? Where is the opportunity?" Brother Ma shouted at Li Hu excitedly, "Tell me. Where is the opportunity?"
"The army is on the edge of the Yellow River." Li Hu was in a hurry and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He thought of the Dangxiang people, "Brother Cha, the King of Jin, brought 100,000 troops to attack us. Do you know nothing? You want to deceive us, use the Jin army to consume us, and then use people to help you recover Xijing, right?"
Brother Ma's expression froze and sighed speechlessly. He wanted to cry. He really wanted to cry. He opposed asking for help, but the emperor refused. He suggested that the emperor gather the forces of the three families to attack the Jurchens, but the emperor still refused. As a result, the situation became worse and worse, so he was extremely desperate now.
"When do you want to deceive us? Tell your emperor that Yelu Chun has become emperor and wants to devote Yanjing to the Jurchens. Please think about it carefully. Do he still want his ancestors to have a foundation and the great Liao Dynasty. If he still wants to preserve the country, then don't plot against us. Come and bring people together, and our three families will fight against the Jurchens, otherwise we will be doomed together." Li Hu shouted angrily, "Yelu Ma Ge. Have you heard?"
"The three families join forces?" Ma Ge shook his head. "I told the emperor a long time ago, but the emperor refused. Now Cha Ge brought his army to the edge of the Yellow River. He can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Even if our emperor accepts this strategy, Cha Ge will not agree. Does he need to make enemies with the Jurchens?"
"What you mean is that people from the Song Dynasty are short-sighted people, and don't know the reason why their lips are dead and their teeth are cold?" Dong Xiaohou asked, "Are you sure the emperor wouldn't agree?"
Brother Ma didn't say anything, he was not sure, because Emperor Li Qianshun was not an ordinary person. The emperor ascended the throne at the age of three, grew up in the continuous wars, and had extraordinary strategies. Perhaps his vision was farther than the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and his understanding of the general trend of the world was also very different from that of others. If Li Qianshun saw the threat from the Jurchens in the future, the three families would have great hope to fight against the Jurchens together.
Brother Ma thought for a while and said helplessly: "At present, if you want to drive the Jurchens out of Daibei, you can only ask for help from others, but the emperor does not believe you unless the Jurchens break into the clouds. At this moment, the Buren rebelled and the desert is in chaos, and the emperor dared not go to the desert. In this way, in order to survive, he had to ask the emperor for help and suggested that the three families join forces to attack the Jurchens."
Li Hu pondered for a long time and felt that this was the best and only way, so he immediately discussed the details with Yelu Ma Ge, but after discussing the discussion, he still faced a realistic problem. He had to defeat the Jin army first, force the Jin army to change the direction of the attack and attack Yunzhong first.
Because of the tense war in front, Brother Ma did not dare to waste too much time here, so he immediately agreed to discuss it again next time and say goodbye and leave.
