In mid-July, Zong Wang and Zong Bi arrived in Datong.

Before this, the two sides had been negotiating, but because of the disagreement, no important matters were implemented. After Li Hu returned to Datong, he personally participated in the negotiations. Wanyan Gao immediately sent Zong Wang to Datong, hoping to sign the alliance as soon as possible.

Li Hu didn't want to waste time. He talked with Zong Wang for a day and knew that Wanyan Aguda had agreed to the preliminary agreement between the two sides and asked the Jin army to enter the desert as quickly as possible. So he decided to use Baishuili as the boundary. The large area east of Baishuili and north of Yinshan will return to the Jin Kingdom, and the area west of Baishuili and south of Yinshan will return to the Song Dynasty. In other words, Fengzhou, Yunneizhou, Tiande Army and Dongshengzhou of this area will be included in the territory of the Song Dynasty and become part of Yunzhong Road.

The most important thing between the two sides has been resolved, and the next thing is very simple. Two or three days later, the two sides will sign an alliance.

"The rainy season is about to end soon." Zong Wang handed the covenant to the entourage standing behind him and said to Li Hu with a smile, "If you cross the Yellow River to fight Xixia, we will cross the Yinshan Mountains and break into the desert. When we are far away from Daibei, don't break your trust..."

"Your target this time is mainly to attack Baidadan and Mogeshi tribes of the collapsed ridge to completely eliminate the threats of the Khitans to the flanks of Zhongjing and Shangjing. You will not go deep into the desert for the time being." Li Hu smiled, "If I fail to attack, you should go south to support it in time."

"Don't expect us to support you. The Khitan emperor has already passed Yinshan Mountain, and the desert may go south at any time. If you block the Bu people, the Wugu people and the enemy's army will come over fiercely. We will be attacked fiercely by the enemy in Shangjing and Zhongjing directions, and we will be unable to take care of ourselves." Zong Wang said, "If the Dangxiang people join forces with the Khitans, Daibei will be in danger, so you must defeat Richard this time. Drive him back to Helan Mountain. As long as you capture Helan Mountain, the Dangxiang people will be thrown away Heshuo and can only defend in a corner of Hexi. The Northwest will soon be your territory."

Li Hu nodded with a smile and asked, "When will the emperor arrive at the mandarin duck?"

"He may not come." Zong Wang said, "We will defeat the Cold Ridge and fight directly with the Zubu people. In order to ensure that we can defeat Bai Dadan and Ge Shi's troops, it is best to attack each other in two directions, take Yinshan and advance west from Shangjing. This will ensure that everything is safe, so the emperor plans to return to Shangjing and personally fight against the desert."

Li Hu didn't believe it. Wanyan Aguda must stay in Zhongjing. The Song Dynasty was about to launch a second Northern Expedition. Aguda obviously wanted to take advantage of the situation and lead his army to kill Xingzhong Prefecture and Jinzhou, occupy western Liaoning, and then attack Pingzhou Road from the direction of Yuguan to seize a gateway to the Central Plains.\\/\

"The envoys of Bian Jing are coming soon. Should you stay and continue negotiations with them or return to Yuanyanglu immediately?" Li Hu asked again.

"I'll wait a few more days before I see the envoy of Bianjing." Zong Wang said this and looked at Zong Bi. Zong Bi immediately continued his words. "I heard that Cailiang Mountain has a lot of prey. Can the Tiger King accompany us to Cailiang Mountain to hunt these days?"

"Okay." Li Hu smiled, "Take the stars with you. Let's go together." The palace. When he bid farewell to Ma Kuo at the beginning of the year, he thought he wouldn't have seen it. Unexpectedly, after a few months, he actually came back. He was ordered by the emperor to work in the palace of Han.

Ma Kuo was also very happy and greeted Li Hu and greeted him with old acquaintances such as Dong Xiaochou, Huo Liu Ge, Li Gang and others.

Li Hu held a banquet at the royal palace to welcome Ma Kuo. A group of generals from Datong were also invited. Li Hu solemnly introduced the new Silu from Hulie Mansion to them. The Silu's responsibility to participate in the military is to take charge of the civil affairs of the government and investigate the officials, and has great power. The generals ignored it at all, but they had to give Li Hu face in this occasion, so they reluctantly stepped forward to toast one after another.\///\\

When it was Song Jiang's turn, Li Hu walked over to Song Jiang and introduced Ma Kuo solemnly: "This is Song Jiang from Liangshanbo."

Ma Kuo was stunned for a long time and looked at him foolishly. He couldn't figure out how Song Jiang from Liangshanbo came to Datong? How did these two big rebels get together? What's the story in between? What's more serious is, what impact will Song Jiang have on Li Hu's side have on Li Hu?

"He is Song Jiang?"

"I am Song Jiang." Song Jiang had a hostile attitude towards the people from Bianjing. He snorted coldly, drank the wine in the glass, and then turned around and left, as if he would insult his eyes as much as he could.

"Why is he in Datong?" Ma Kuo asked in confusion.

Li Hu laughed and roughly explained the story, "The people from the Zhe family dare not take him in, but I dare, so he came to me."

"Can he be the military commander?" Ma Kuo sneered, "If this matter is spread to Bianjing, what benefits will it do to you? Especially at this time."

Li Hu didn't care. Ma Kuo grabbed him and tried his best to persuade him.\\/\

Now the emperor has issued an order to ask Tong Guan, the envoy of the Prosecution of the Lianghe Rivers, and Cai You, the deputy envoy, to lead the army to the Northern Expedition. The front-line commander of the Northern Expedition Army was the Linyan Road Strategy Pacification Envoy and Liu Yanqing, the governor of the Three Cities of Heyang. Zhong Shidao was dismissed from the position of commander because of the defeat of Baigou. He was appointed as the General of the Right Guard, ordered to retire and go home to retire.

This time, Tong Guan assembled a 200,000 army, with sufficient food and grass weapons, and Li Hu's support, so he could definitely seize Yanjing. After the Song Dynasty recaptured Yanjing, he would immediately start to solve the hidden dangers of Li Hu's vassal states. Li Hu openly took Song Jiang and helped him rebuild the Liangshan army, which was equivalent to giving Bianjing a loan to deal with Li Hu.

"Is it necessary to cause trouble for the minister?"

Ma Kuo was worried that Bianjing had rushed to deal with Li Hu when the northern border was unstable, which caused chaos. He didn't know that the situation in northern border today had long become a mess. Li Hu was too lazy to explain and wanted to find some time to have a good talk with Ma Kuo in the evening and pull him onto his own boat.

"Come on, come on, I'll introduce you to another person." Li Hu waved to Yue Fei and called him to his side, "This is the Di Yue I once told you

Yue Fei? Ma Kuo suddenly remembered what Li Hu once said, and looked at Yue Fei and his eyes widened. This is Yue Fei? This is the famous hero in Li Hu's mouth? If Yue Fei was a famous hero in the world, who was Li Hu? Is Li Hu the hero in the world?\\/\

"He is Yue Fei?" Ma Kuo was dizzy and felt drunk. He could no longer tell the difference between the present and the future.

Li Hu led the civil and military officials of the government to welcome him outside the city. Wang Anzhong and Li Bangyan were both central ministers of Bianjing, with high rank and naturally received grand reception. Luo Qinghan successfully completed the expected goals on his mission and was also warmly welcomed by Li Hu and the generals.

That night, the Huliu Mansion was crowded with people and was very lively. Zong Wang, Zong Bi and other Jin envoys also attended the banquet. The generals on both sides had a deep hatred, but this time the rebel army won a great victory, and they were naturally arrogant. Zong Wang and others were very cunning, and they were drinking, and they were not idle in their mouths. They were tit-for-tat and did not show any weakness.

That night, Li Hu and Luo Qinghan and other central officials gathered together to give a detailed explanation of the war in Xijing and the recent situation. Luo Qinghan, Huang She and others did not expect that the situation in the north was so complicated, and they were all worried.

The next day, the Song and Jin dynasties began negotiations.

The Jin Kingdom refused to amend the alliance, and Zong Wang even proposed that the two armies meet in Youyan in September. If the Song army fails to capture Yanjing in September, the Jin army will set out from Pingzhou Road and attack Yanjing.

Wang Anzhong and Li Bangyan were very angry and believed that the Jin army had violated the alliance.

"This alliance has a premise and time." Zong Wang asked bluntly, "If the Song army was unable to conquer Yanjing for a long time, would the Jin army have to wait? Yanjing was occupied by the Khitans, and they directly threatened the security of Zhongjing. For this reason, the Jin Jin needed to gather heavy troops on the Yanshan line, which seriously hindered the pace of the Jin Jin conquering the desert. May I ask, if the Jin Jin lost the best opportunity to conquer the desert because the Song army delayed the time to attack Yanjing, which led to the Jin Jin losing the best chance to conquer the desert, who will compensate for the losses of my Jin?"

"If you hadn't tear down the alliance and attacked Datong, my Song Dynasty would have already recovered Yanjing." Wang Anzhong said sternly, "It's your fault that the Song Dynasty has failed to capture Yanjing so far."

The two sides were quarreling. Zong Wang then took the initiative to propose a compromise. In September, if the Song Dynasty conquered Yanjing in September, the Jin army would accept the conditions of the Song Dynasty and abolish the terms of the maritime alliance regarding annual monies, but he insisted that Pingzhou Road should be attacked by the Jin army, which was the territory of the Jin army.

Li Hu realized that the Jin army's recent target was not the collapsed Lingfan army, nor the deserted fringes, but Xingzhong Prefecture, Jinzhou, and Hepingzhou Road in western Liaoning. The Jin army did not dare to fight on both sides, so Wanyan Aguda took Zonghan's northern strategy and dragged his army to the Daibei battlefield under the pretext of forming an alliance. Then he personally led the Jin army from Zhongjing Road and Tokyo Road to attack Hepingzhou Road in western Liaoning. The Jurchens tried to use this method to protect the passage to Hebei south, to threaten and threaten the Song Dynasty, and thus exploit more benefits in Bianjing.

Li Hu took the initiative to intervene in the negotiations. Zong Wang was helpless, so he proposed a solution that both sides could accept. Pingzhou Route was to fight, and whoever fought first would be the one who would belong to Pingzhou Route.

Zong Wang thought this method was fair, but Wang Anzhong and Li Bangyan believed that Pingzhou Road was originally part of Youyan. The Song Dynasty took Yanjing, which was equivalent to taking Pingzhou Road, and the Jin army could not cross Yu Pass.

Zong Wang took out the Alliance on the Sea. The Alliance on the Sea was clearly written. As long as the Song Dynasty recovered the front and back of the mountains and the territory of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, there was no special explanation for the recovery of Pingzhou Road. Therefore, Pingzhou Road was not in the alliance. The fairest way was to conquer who would conquer the first, and Pingzhou Road was whose territory.

The Song and Jin dynasties were too different and the negotiations were deadlocked.
