Wuyan's breathing was very rapid, and she was obviously trying her best to suppress her anger.

Li Hu sighed helplessly. No wonder the Song army failed in the Northern Expedition. It was not defeated by its military strength and strategy, but by the rotten court. Why did the seemingly powerful and prominent Song Dynasty be so terrible? If Wuyan said everything was true, not a vent of anger, then even if the Song Dynasty had a large army of 300,000, there was no chance of winning in this battle.

"I must first win the battle on the Daibei battlefield." Li Hu said, "otherwise I won't be able to free up."

"Do you know what Yelu Chun is in now? Do you know what Yanjing is in? Do you know where Wanyan Aguda is now?" Wuyan did not wait for Li Hu to speak and immediately continued, "Yanjing has no secrets for the Jurchens. When Yelu Chun suddenly fell ill and was dying, when the Song Dynasty soldiers were approaching the border and proposed peace agreements that the Khitans could not accept, Yanjing was in chaos, and the civil and military ministers in the palace tent of Yanjing were looking for their own way out."

"Do you know why the Khitans were defeated so quickly? Similarly, they were rotten and even their roots were rotten, so after the Jurchens pushed hard, the big tree immediately overturned. You can imagine what kind of civil and military ministers would be in such a palace tent? How many of these people have the blood and backbone of the Khitans who conquered the world back then? Surrendered, in order to save their lives and interests, they surrendered. From the Khitans to the Han people, no one was willing to fight for the great Liao Kingdom. In their eyes, there was only power and wealth, so they chose to surrender without hesitation."

"So, Wanyan Agu hit Zhongjing..."

Wanyan Agu hit Zhongjing? He wanted to take the opportunity to take Youyan? Li Hu's heartbeat suddenly and he urgently interrupted Wuyan's words, "He wants to take the opportunity to send troops?"

"This possibility is not ruled out." Wuyan said, "If the Song army retreated, if the Yanjing strife, the Jin army would indeed easily take Yanjing. In this way, you will be finished, and the peace of the Song Dynasty will come to an end. The Jurchens' iron hooves will go south to the Central Plains. Although the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and his ministers had predicted this terrible situation a long time ago and tried to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, whether it was the emperor himself or the ministers who formulated and implemented these strategies, they themselves were the pus cells of the Song Dynasty. The pus cells were rampant, and the giant of the Song Dynasty was greatly destroyed. The result can be imagined."

"Do you want to save yourself? Do you want the Song Dynasty to survive?" Wuyan sneered, "Then don't hesitate and take down Yanjing immediately."

Wuyan's words kept exploding in Li Hu's ears, making him dizzy, and a heart-wrenching pain suddenly hit his whole body, and he was in great pain.

The banquet lasted for a while, and Li Hu wanted to find another opportunity to talk to Wuyan, but there was more than Wuyan, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom. In this situation, everyone was afraid of something. They were very "take care of" each other, and Wuyan seemed to not want to talk to Li Hu anymore. He said everything he should say, but he couldn't see Li Hu having any chance to turn the defeat into victory and turn the tide. So he should not cause trouble for himself anymore.

If Li Hu wants to take over Yanjing, the most urgent task is to defeat the Jin army on the Daibei battlefield. Wanyan Aguda has a vision and knowledge. He knows the importance of Daibei. After taking over Daibei, Youyan is just a thing in his pocket. So Wanyan Aguda's attention is all about Daibei. As for Youyan, he only needs to support a puppet. He just needs to use this puppet to block the Song Dynasty south of Baigou. There is no need to send troops to tear the face with the Song Dynasty. Daibei gets it. The next thing is actually very simple. Use Youyan as a bargaining chip to deal with the Song Dynasty. While raising energy, he is looking for opportunities to attack the south.

Li Hu had only one opportunity. He defeated the Jin army on the Daibei battlefield. Then quickly seized Yanjing and obtained all the sixteen states of Yanyun. In this way, he could also use Youyan as a bargaining chip to deal with the Song and Jin countries, giving himself time to develop.

Does Li Hu have a chance to defeat the Jin army? Yes. Now is the chance. Now the elite Jin army is on the Yunnei battlefield. Datong is mainly surrendered soldiers from the Liao army. Although there are many people, their combat effectiveness may not be strong. You can fight.

Wuyan also said that the Jin army failed in the first battle in the Yunnei battlefield. Now the Jin army and the Liao and Xia coalition forces are fighting on the Yunnei battlefield. The war is more complicated than imagined. The Jin army may not be able to achieve expected results in the short term. But the problem is that Li Hu must achieve a big victory. If the small victory is achieved, the Jin army will not withdraw from Daibei. And they will change their strategy and take Yanjing first. Thus, they will attack in two directions.

In this way, the problem before Li Hu was that he had to ensure the safety of Yanjing first. That is to say, he would be better to send an army to Yanjing. First, to maintain the regent status of Xiaohoudi, and second, to block the Jin army from going south. Then he launched a counterattack on the Northern Battlefield. In this way, no matter how big or small he won, he could stand invincible.

This leads to a question. The people of the Song Dynasty would clearly feel Li Hu’s ambitions. What countermeasures would they take? Will they join forces with the Jin army to attack Li Hu together?

Wuyan thought it was absolutely possible. The faces of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and the people in the Song Dynasty had the words shameless in their faces. In order to achieve their own goals, they would do everything they could. Shamelessness could turn into a supreme glory with brilliant golden light at any time. The people of the Song Dynasty would never tolerate Li Hu occupying the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and using the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to threaten China.

Wuyan could not see hope. He watched Li Hu grow and rise step by step, and also watched him break out of one siege after another. But this time it was different. This time he had too many opponents. With Li Hu's weak body, he could not resist the joint attacks of several powerful enemies.

However, Li Hu was killed, which was an opportunity for the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty failed the first Northern Expedition, the strategy would be adjusted immediately. Li Hu's dying struggle just gave the Song Dynasty time to attack again. Even if the Song Dynasty shamelessly joined forces with the Jin people to attack Li Hu, as long as it could recover the Sixteen State of Yanyun, it would be shameless and it didn't matter.

Wuyan was a native of the Song Dynasty. Although he hated the emperor of the Song Dynasty and the shameless local ministers in the court, he did not want the Song Dynasty to be overthrown, nor did he want to see the people of the Song Dynasty being harmed by war. He hoped that the Song Dynasty would be safe and that the people of the Song Dynasty would live and work in peace and prosperity.

Li Hu summoned Dong Xiaochou, Luo Qinghan and others to discuss it day and night. He did not break his promise and asked Yuwen Xuzhong to participate in the central decision.

Wuyan's opinion makes sense, but that is a prediction of the future. In this situation, the Song Dynasty still needs Li Hu, which is enough. As long as the Song Dynasty does not attack behind the scenes, Li Hu believes that he still has a way to fight for a bloody path.

Yuwen Xuzhong heard that the situation in Yanjing was critical. Youyan might fall into the hands of the Jurchens at any time, and was even more worried. He wrote letters to Li Gang in Taiyuan, Tong Guan in Xiongzhou, and the emperors and ministers in Bianjing, hoping to help Li Hu obtain assistance from the Song Dynasty. Although there is little hope, he must do his best to fight for it.

At this time, Luo Sinan returned and brought a thousand large trucks full of "grain". The convoy walked from Wuzhou to Datong, and was very silly along the way. The people all knew that the assistance from the Song Dynasty had arrived, which greatly stabilized the people.

The merchants were all smart people. Although some well-informed people knew more or less about the inside story and doubted the reliability of the Song Dynasty's aid, they faced a precarious and severe situation. Faced with a group of "bandits" who could start killing at any time, they still made a wise choice and sold the grain they had hoarded to the rebel army at a low price. However, some merchants also relied on their being from the Song Dynasty and relied on their hard backers to cooperate with the rebel army.

Hu Tu killed people. He did not have the patience to persuade and bargain one by one, nor did he have time to think about the consequences of the murder. He showed his ferocious face without hesitation, ordered arrest, and randomly convicted. Then he was tortured and executed in the market.

Time passed quietly, and the situation was getting worse day by day, while Li Hu and his brothers were helpless.

In May, the fourth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty (1122 AD), Li Shuang, the envoy of Beijing.

Ma Liang urgently reported that the Song army was defeated in the northern expedition in three battles and three defeats. The Song army crossed the river and attacked each other. However, because the distance between them was too large and lacked protection, they were defeated by 30,000 Liao troops with their superior forces.

Li Hu and everyone couldn't believe it. Is this the Song army? Is this the Northern Expedition, which was commanded by Tong Guan, who had been in command for twenty years in the northwest battlefield? Is this the battle fought by famous generals from Northwest China, Zhong Shidao, Zhong Shizhong, Liu Yanqing, Yang Keshi, and Wang Bing? What kind of battle did the 30,000 Liao troops defeat the 100,000 Song troops?

Dong Xiaochou, Luo Qinghan, Tie Ying and others had great expectations for the Song army. Whether Datong could be defended depends on whether the Song army could occupy Yanjing as soon as possible, which was a disappointment. If this news reached the Jin army camp, the Song army was so vulnerable, and the Jurchens would inevitably launch an attack.

"Didn't you say that the Song army will definitely succeed in the Northern Expedition?" Hu Tu asked Yuwen Xuzhong angrily in a hurry. "Is this the army of the Song Dynasty?"

Yuwen Xuzhong was ashamed and speechless. He knew that there was no chance of winning this battle, but in his opinion, since the first battle was defeated, the Song army would change its strategy next, and it would not matter if it could not fight Yanjing. As long as the Song army crossed Baigou and confronted Yanjing, it would put a lot of pressure on the entire battle situation, forcing new changes in the two battlefields of Daibei and Youyan. Li Hu might find an opportunity to go out to Juyongguan and carry out two attacks with the Song army. However, the Song army did not learn from the lessons of defeating the first battle, and still fought like this. The result can be imagined.

This is the first time that the Song and Liao battled each other more than a hundred years after the Chanyuan Alliance. And when the Great Liao was about to overthrow, the Song army was still defeated and was extremely humiliated.

Li Shuang used to be the chief minister of the royal palace, Yelu Chundi's confidant, and now he is the Secretariat of the Southern Palace. He told Li Hu that Yelu Chun was indeed not able to do it and might die at any time. After Yelu Chun fell ill, Xiao Gan was in charge of the battle and Li Chuwen was in harmony. Both sides were incompatible. This time, Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi defeated the Song army. Xiao Gan's achievements were imagined. He would take this opportunity to eliminate Li Chuwen and monopolize the power.

The commander-in-chief Yelu Ning of the northern route supported Xiao Gan, while the commander-in-chief Yelu Dashi of the southern route was loyal to Yelu Chun and Empress Xiao, while Zhang Jue and Guo Yaoshi were Li Chuwen's right-hand men. In this way, Yanjing was divided into three factions, and internal strife was about to break out.

Empress Xiao did not dare to write a letter to Li Hu. She asked Li Shuang to bring a message, asking Li Hu to help, otherwise Yanjing would change its ownership. The Liao emperor led his army to flee to Jiashan on the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, and the palace tent was almost wiped out by the Jin army. The royal family and nobles from King Zhao, concubines and ministers from the harem were basically captured by the Jin army. The five thousand reinforcements in Daxia suffered heavy losses and had already escaped the Yellow River.

The Jin army was unstoppable and occupied Fengzhou, Yunneizhou, Tiande army and Dongshengzhou, east of the Yellow River within a few days.

Yelu Ma Ge begged Li Hu to help immediately and launch a counterattack on the main force of the Jin army, thus forcing the Jin army attacking Yunnei to give up the pursuit of the remaining Liao army and give him some time to reorganize the army, otherwise everything will be done.

Li Hu looked at the date of the signature. This was a letter from Yelu Mage who was defeated by Yuling and sent out to Jiashan before escaping. It has been four days since then. Yelu Mage is dead or alive and knows nothing.

The Jin army was so powerful that they swept across the clouds in just over a dozen days. Now that their food rations were solved, they were about to attack Datong with all their strength.

Li Hu was at a loss and was helpless. He was anxious and told Li Hu.

On the first day of this month, the Song army withdrew its troops. It was raining heavily in Baigou, lightning and thunder, and the north wind roared. Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi all raised 30,000 horse troops and then chased after them. The Song army was defeated, trampled on each other, suffered heavy casualties, and fled back to the Xiongzhou camp in a panic. This battle completely defeated the Song army, and in the near future, the Song army was unable to launch a second attack.

The external troubles had just passed away, and internal troubles arose again. The Han and Fan ministers were the main force and the war and the Lord of He had a dispute over the incident. The Prime Minister of the Northern Prefecture Xiao Gan was furious and took the power of the defeated Song army. He launched a fierce "offensive" against Xiao Hou and the palace tent, demanding the "regent" and monopolizing the power.

The Jurchens secretly helped Xiao Gan and fueled the fire. The Jin army stationed troops outside Gubeikou and Songting Pass. The head coach Wanyan Zongxiong wrote to Xiao, and was willing to send troops south to Yanjing to stabilize the situation in Yanjing.

Empress Xiao asked Dashi for help, but Dashi did not dare to lead his army to leave Baigou, so he had to ask Li Hu for help, asking him to keep the alliance. At this moment when Yanjing was in danger, he must help.

Li Hu had a split headache and was extremely desperate. Yunnei had already occupied the Jin army. If Yanjing also occupied the Jin army, then he would have no way to die.
