Yue, Chage and Zonghan met on the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain.

This was a private agreement between the two when they left Datong. Both of them wanted to kill Li Hu, so of course they hit it off.

"Do you want to conquer Xijing?" Cha Ge straight to the point and directly put forward the conditions, "If you give me Tiande Army and Dongshengzhou, I am willing to join forces with you to attack.

”

Zong Han smiled and shook his head, "You still have the strength to launch an attack now? Even if you have an army, do you have enough food and grass weapons? Li Hu has 200,000 main forces and 200,000 rural troops, with strong defense and solid support from the Song Dynasty. His strength is very strong. Even if you and I join forces, there is no chance of winning more than 50%. Maybe you want to fight, but I don't want to fight."

Brother Cha narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled, "If I tell you that Li Hu is about to go south to attack Hedong in the Song Dynasty, would you be willing to attack Xijing?"

"Fight the Song Dynasty?" Zonghan looked at Brother Cha in surprise, "Is this what Li Hu told you in person?"

"The condition that he returned the front trap to me is that when you attack Datong, I will lead my army to restrain the Song army on the front line of Hengshan, and then create opportunities for him to go south to Hedong." Cha Ge smiled, "Do you think this is Li Hu's trap? No, I tell you, this is not a trap. Since Li Hu is willing to return the front trap to me, it means that he has planned to give up Daibei."

"Li Hu dared to fight the Song Dynasty?" Zong Han didn't believe it and shook his head repeatedly.

"You won't tell me that you don't know that there were hungry riots in Hebei, Shandong and other places in the Song Dynasty, and it has lasted for more than half a year." Cha Ge's eyes showed a hint of mocking, and he scoffed at Zong Han's clumsy performance of pretending to be crazy and stupid. "The Song Dynasty has not been able to quell the rebellion so far. If Li Hu went south to Hedong and climbed the Taihang Mountains into Hebei, with his strength, would he say he could make a world in the two rivers?"

Zong Han was silent for a moment and said solemnly: "This is a trap, it must be a trap. I have been dealing with Li Hu for several years. I know him. I can tell you with certainty that this is a trap."

Brother Cha looked at Zong Han and said nothing. Sitting opposite him was the Jin Kingdom's land of the throne and Wanyan Zonghan. He said that this was Li Hu deliberately set up a trap. No matter how he persuaded him, it would be useless.

"We have already failed once in Daibei and suffered heavy losses." Zong Han frowned deeply and felt heartbroken. "We will never attack Datong again without an absolute chance of winning, because we can't afford to lose. Judging from the current situation, we will not be able to attack Li Hu in the future."

Brother Cha was secretly disappointed. Regardless of whether this was a trap for Li Hu or not, in the end, Li Hu and the Jurchens fought. They both suffered losses and both sides were injured. For the people of Xixia, they could applaud and celebrate. But now it seems that Zong Han was not fooled at all. He was unwilling to fight Li Hu and both sides were injured and let others get the advantage.

"Li Hu went south to fight Hedong and Hebei. He would inevitably have a fierce battle with the Song army. At this time, we joined forces to attack Xijing. Li Hu would definitely lose sight of one thing. So we have a great opportunity."

Brother Cha analyzed the situation for Zonghan and tried his best to persuade him. However, Zonghan was unmoved. "If you want to attack Li Hu, you cannot attack forcefully. You can only be smart. We do not have the conditions at present. We must wait patiently for the opportunity."

"You want to fight the desert in the north?" Cha Ge asked.

"Of course." Zong Han smiled, "If the deserts take the opportunity to rise, they will definitely beat us. The first move is the best, and then the move is the disaster. Of course, we must go north first."

The two talked for a long time, but because of their different positions, many things could not be reached at all. Cha Ge had no choice but to make some agreements with Zonghan to maintain the alliance, and then said goodbye.

As soon as Brother Cha left, Gao Qingyi asked in confusion: "Why did you refuse Brother Cha? You came here to meet him secretly, isn't it just to fight Xijing?"

"Things have changed, and the situation is more complicated than we imagined." Zong Han frowned and said, "We want to eliminate Li Hu. The Song Dynasty and Xixia also have the same idea. But now, neither the Song Dynasty nor the Xixia people have the conditions to send troops. They all put their hopes of eliminating Li Hu on us, hoping that we and Li Hu will suffer both defeats..."

"We have considered this a long time ago. It is precisely because the Song people and the Xixia people did not have the conditions to send troops that they formed an alliance with the Jin Kingdom to attack Li Hu. Because of this, Huanglong Mansion and the Western Tent unanimously agreed that now is the best opportunity to attack Xijing. Li Hu is strong, and we have to pay a price for us to fight Daibei with him. Both sides are inevitably injured." Gao Qingyi asked a little excitedly, "Can we give up attacking Xijing because we have to pay the wait for both sides to suffer the opportunity to attack Xijing?"

Zong Han remained silent. Gao Qingyi's words were completely correct, but he could not ignore the situation in Huanglong Mansion, and he did not dare to fight Li Hu rashly.

Wanyan Aguda passed away almost a year, but Wu Qimai still failed to completely control Huanglong Mansion. Before Wanyan Aguda passed away, the power struggle in Huanglong Mansion was relatively fierce. In order to ensure control of the army, Wanyan Aguda appointed Zong Han as the commander of the northwest and southwest, and transferred Wanyan to Shangjing. He was in charge of the imperial army. Unexpectedly, he died suddenly. Wu Qimai immediately inherited the throne with the support of Wanyan, Zonggan and others.

Wu Qimai's prestige is difficult to control the Jurchen League, among which Zong Han is one of his opponents. Zong Han is in the southwest and northwest, holding heavy troops, Wanyan

He was given the power to take action first and then report, so his commander's tent was also called the Western tent, and he could not. Wu Qi could not move Zong Han did not mean that he could let him go. He also tried to suppress Zong Han. He happened to thank and win over Wanyan Aguda's sons, so he appointed Zong Wang as the commander of the Southeast Road and stationed troops on Hepingzhou Road in western Liaoning, and granted him the power to take action first and report later. Therefore, Zong Wang's commander's tent was also called the Eastern tent.

Huanglong Mansion, the western tent and the eastern tent thus formed a tripod.

Wu Qimai could not fully control the Jurchen League like his brother. He had to compromise and redistribute power. He had to share power with leaders of the major alliance like Zonghan, and Zongganzong hoped that these princes would share power. Wu Qimai's compromise was exchanged for the temporary stability of the Jurchen League, and the temporary stability of the Jurchen League gave him time to consolidate his throne. There was always gain. Wu Qimai now seems a little weak, but when he consolidated the throne and controlled the Jurchen League, he would take back what he lost, and then no one could stop him. This is a strategy of retreating to advance. Wu Qimai has been in charge of Huanglong Mansion for a long time and is proficient in political affairs. This kind of thing will not defeat him.

Everything has its pros and cons. The Huanglong Mansion and the East and West tents are mutually restrained and restricted, which makes the situation in the Huanglong Mansion seem very tense. Some greedy and stupid ulterior motives in the Jurchen League took the opportunity to rebel, trying to grab more power from Wu Qimai to gain greater benefits.

Huanglong Mansion and Northeast China are full of crises, and Huanglong Mansion and the East and West tents are full of conflicts. Although everyone believes that destroying Li Hu to capture Daibei and winning a battle is the best way to alleviate the crisis and contradictions, the risk of this battle is too great. If it is defeated, it will suffer heavy losses like last time. As a result, the strength of the Western Tent is greatly damaged, which will definitely cause a new round of power struggle in Huanglong Mansion. The worst result is that the Jurchen Alliance collapses and the Jin Kingdom is defeated, so Huanglong Mansion is very cautious, and Zong Han is even more cautious. Without an absolute chance of winning, he will not start a war.

Zong Han waved at Gao Qingyi and signaled him to sit down and listen to his explanation.

"Rebellion broke out in the Song Dynasty, and the rebellion continued. This is an opportunity to go south to the Central Plains."

"The Huanglong Mansion and Zong Wang from the Eastern Tent intend to suspend the Northern Expedition and first go south to plunder the Central Plains. At this moment, we do not have the conditions for the Northern Expedition, so it is also a good idea to seize Yan Yun first. If the time is good, then go south to the Central Plains to plunder the Central Plains.

"We think so, Li Hu thinks so too, what about the Song people? We are in the Northeast and the other in the North, and we are eyeing each other. We are not prepared for the Song people?" Zong Han sneered, "The Song people agreed to join forces with us to attack Li Hu. Is it true or false? From the perspective of the situation, it is beneficial to the Song Dynasty to fight with Li Hu, and it is the most unfavorable to the fight between Li Hu."

"Li Hu is obviously prepared. He used the front-end place and marriage to exchange for the solid alliance of Xixia. This may lead to his breaking with the Song Dynasty. Once Li Hu loses the support of the Song Dynasty, his defeat is just around the corner. Is Li Hu so stupid? Will he break with the Song Dynasty? Will he believe the promises of the people of Xixia?"

"Then, tell me..." Zong Han pointed at Gao Qingyi and asked, "Why did Li Hu break with the Song Dynasty?"

"The loss of Li Hu in the Song Dynasty means losing the nine states behind the mountain. Once the nine states behind the mountain are lost, can the land of Youyan be preserved?" Gao Qingyi said, "Li Hu wants to break with the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty carefully weighs the profits and may not be willing to break."

"But Huanglong Mansion told me that the Song people were very willing to join forces with the Jin people to eliminate Li Hu." Zong Han said, "This shows that the Song people have decided to give up Li Hu."

Gao Qingyi thought for a moment and asked, "What do you mean is that Li Hu set a trap and found an excuse for himself to go south to the Central Plains, right?"

"Li Hu went south, and there were two roads. One was to attack Youyan from Juyong Pass and go south to Hebei from Youyan; the other was to take Ningwu Pass to Taiyuan from Taiyuan, and directly kill the Central Plains from Taiyuan." Zong Han pointed to the map, "The Song Dynasty was in Shaanxi, and the Northwest Army in the Hedong area fought against the Xixia people for many years. This army was quite powerful. If I were Li Hu, I would avoid the Northwest Army, go to Juyong Pass, Zijin Pass, and fall down the line of Maguan. First take Youyan, attack Hebei, and then drink horses and Yellow River."

Gao Qingyi finally understood it. He was secretly surprised and felt that Li Hu dared to go south to fight the Song Dynasty, which was too crazy. In his opinion, the Song Dynasty was very powerful. Even if the Jin army went south with all its might, it would just plunder. With Li Hu's strength, he dared to go south to fight the Song Dynasty. However, thinking that the Song, Jin and Xia countries were going to join forces to fight Xijing, Li Hu was desperate, and it was reasonable to take risks.

"Does the governor plan to help Li Hu and let Li Hu go south to fight the Song Dynasty. When the Song Dynasty and Li Hu fight each other and both suffer losses, we will take advantage of the opportunity to capture Yan Yun and go south to the Central Plains?"

Zong Han nodded slightly, "Song and Xia both want to get a bargain. Let us fight Li Hu, but we will get it for nothing. Is there such a cheap thing in the world?"

Gao Qingyi hesitated for a long time and asked: "If we make a mistake in speculation, Li Hu's target is not Da Song..."

"I understand Li Hu." Zong Han smiled and said, "In this world, the craziest person is Li Hu, I like him."
