Dong Xiaochou immediately analyzed the development of the battle situation.
On the battlefield of Daibei, Luo Qinghan's army must defeat Wanyan Loushi before the main force of the Jin army returns to aid and replace the North. Only in this way can this battle be considered the greatest victory.
The Taiyuan battlefield was attacked by the Jin army since the 20th, but Abaddon had led 20,000 horse troops back to the rescue. According to the itinerary, it had arrived in Taiyuan. Lu Junyi's Tiger Lie 7th Army had also arrived in Taiyuan, and Taiyuan's defensive force increased to 60,000. At this time, even if Zong Han led his army to Taiyuan, he was unable to win. On the contrary, the main force of the 100,000 Jin army was dragged in Taiyuan, which was very beneficial to the Daibei battlefield and the Central Plains battlefield.
Now the battle on the Central Plains battlefield has become the key to whether this war can achieve greater results.
Zong Wang's Eastern Treasure Army attacked Bianjing for more than 20 days, exhausted and extremely exhausted. After Yelu Yuji's troops were completely wiped out, the flanks of the Eastern Treasure Army lost their protection. Now they can only give up attacking Bianjing and confront our army on the Bian River.
Since Daibei was related to the future of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Gao of Yanjing must give up attacking the Central Plains after learning that Wanyan Yu's entire army was wiped out, and mobilized the main army to return to the rescue in order to quickly recapture Daibei.
Zong Wang's army was already a powerful crossbow. At the end, Yelu Yuji's defeat hit their morale again. After receiving Wanyan Gao's order to withdraw, people would be in panic and the morale of the army would be in chaos. At this time, it was our turn to start attacking.
At this point, the entire battle situation was controlled by our army.

Dong Xiaochou stood in front of the map and talked endlessly. He analyzed the situation. The feeling of controlling the overall situation and looking at the world with a smile made him feel comfortable and proud.
The Battle of Daibei disrupted the deployment of the Jin army and captured the Jin army passively. As the Tiger and Lieutenant Army wiped out Wanyan Yu in Daibei, the Jin army was in chaos and had to be beaten passively.
"We must win more time for Daibei battlefield." Dong Xiaochou said, "So, we must hold Zong Wang in the Central Plains battlefield and deal a heavy blow to Zong Wang, and prepare for our army to enter Hebei and recover Hebei."
"Zong Wang's Eastern Treasure Army is said to be more than 300,000 yuan, but I think it's just a bluff."
"Zong Wang's Eastern Tent Army includes the six Xi army of Wanyan Talai, Wanyan.?'s mother Meng'an Mouke, Guo Yaoshi's ever-winning army, Liu Yanzong's Youyan Han army, Zong Fu, Zong Bi's Liaodong Han army, and Qian Dinggong and Liu Yu's Hebei Shandong army. These troops suffered losses in the Hutuo River War and Hulu River War, and Guo Yaoshi suffered severe damage in the Puyang War. After more than two months of fighting in Shandong, the losses continued to increase. Later, they entered the Central Plains and attacked Bianjing. The two attacks combined for at least 40 days, and the losses can be imagined."
"In my estimate, since Zong Wang's Dongzhang Army began to attack south in January last year, it has lost about 100,000 people in nearly a year and a half. The army in Shandong, Hebei and Shandong, has lost at least 30% of the main force attacking Bianjing in the past twenty days. In addition, the Dongzhang Army has garrisons in Hebei and Shandong. In this way, the army under the city of Bianjing is only more than 200,000, or even less than 200,000, and its military strength is only twice ours, but they are struggling, morale is sluggish, and the morale of the army is chaotic. Among them, there are tens of thousands of people from the Song Dynasty. These soldiers of the Song Dynasty are obviously not loyal to the Jurchens. They are all forced to fight by surrendered Jurchens. Once the time of life and death, they will definitely collapse. Therefore, our real opponents are only more than 100,000, and we have an absolute chance of winning."

Dong Xiaochou's analysis made the atmosphere in the big tent more enthusiastic, and the generals asked for a fight.
"Master Luo killed Wanyan Yu on the 20th, and then divided his troops to support Juyongguan. If nothing unexpected happens, Wanyan Yu's head has been delivered to Yanjing, and Wanyan Gao's order to withdraw troops is on the way." Dong Xiaochou patted the map hard and said loudly, "The day when Wanyan Gao's order arrived, that is, the moment when the Jin army was most frightened, we launched a fatal blow at that moment."
"Tomorrow, we will cross the Bian River and attack the Jin army."
The generals received the order with a loud bang.

After seeing off the generals, Li Hu and Dong Xiaochou, Chai Yun chatted for a few words, then wrote a letter to Dai Bei and Taiyuan, and then wrote a secret letter to Huang She in Luoyang.
Li Hu called Fang Jin and asked him to send his confidants to Luoyang as fast as possible.
"General General, Yima is faster." Fang Jin took the secret letter in his hand and looked at it, a little confused, so he whispered to remind Li Hu that he would send a letter to him. Even if one person and three horses were alone, it was not as fast as the Yima was passing it.
Li Hu shook his head, looking extremely solemn, "This letter is related to the survival of my Huli Army. I originally planned to ask you to travel in person, but your goal is too big and it is easy to arouse suspicion from others. So I asked you to send a confidant to return to Luoyang secretly, hand the letter to the deputy prime minister in person, and bring me a reply."
Fang Jin realized the importance of this secret letter and immediately said, "General General, I'd better send it to me personally, safety first."
Li Hu shook his head and patted Fang Jin's shoulder with a smile, "Don't be nervous, only the deputy minister can understand this letter. Even if it is lost, it will not cause any harm, it will just delay time."
Fang Jin didn't dare to say anything more, so he bowed and took a leave, found one of his confidants, and asked him to send the secret letter to Luoyang immediately.
Li Hu stood outside the handsome tent, watching the tiger guard leave, and looked at the beautiful starry sky with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were involuntarily revealed.
A silly look.

Late at night on the 26th, the generals of the Jin army gathered in the commander's tent and argued fiercely about whether to withdraw the troops.
The generals led by Liu Yanzong and Guo Yaoshi believed that the Jin army had lost its military advantage on the Central Plains battlefield and in fact they no longer had the conditions to conquer Bianjing. The long-term combat made the soldiers exhausted, and the army urgently needed rest and recuperation. At the same time, it also urgently needed to stabilize the occupied areas such as Hedong and Shandong in order to raise food and grass for the army, recruit troops to expand their troops, and prepare for the next attack.
The generals led by Wanyan Talan and Zong Bi held a negative opinion, believing that Banqiao's defeat was just an accident, and the Jin army should continue to surround Bianjing and trap Bianjing to death. When Daibei and Taiyuan battlefield decide the victory and loss, the main force goes south to support and immediately sweep the Central Plains and kill Guan Luo.
At midnight, Zong Wang sent someone to pass on the message, asking Wanyan Talai, Wanyan's mother, Zongfu, Zongbi, Liu Yanzong, and Guo Yaoshi to discuss matters.
Zong Wang lay on the soft couch and recovered some strength. When he saw everyone coming in, he barely squeezed out a trace of it.
A smile, signaling them to sit around them.
Liu Yanzong told Zong Wang about the arguments between the generals and asked Zong Wang to make an idea.
" Withdraw the troops, withdraw immediately." Zong Wang's voice was not loud, but he was very determined and determined.
"Why should we withdraw our troops? Bianjing can no longer hold on. Even if we don't fight, they can't hold on for long." Wanyan Talan said angrily, "When we defeat Li Hu tomorrow, we can attack Bianjing again and take it down in one fell swoop."
Zong Wang closed his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and said slowly: "The decision of Deputy Commander Zuo was correct. In fact, when he left the Central Plains, we lost the conditions to compete for the Central Plains. But I was as confident as you, which led to the annihilation of Yelu Yu, and pushed the army into the danger of defeat."
Wanyan was lazy, Wanyan? His mother couldn't understand for a moment and made suggestions. Zong Wang shook his hand gently and signaled them not to speak and listen to his continued explanation.
"Li Hu has risen in the north for a full ten years, but he has been struggling to survive. Until today, he has the Heaven of Conqueror.
Do you know why you have the strength?"
It's very simple. Everyone knows that Li Hu was not strong enough in the past, but after Li Hu went south to the Song Dynasty and had territory, population and wealth, his strength increased sharply and became stronger quickly. Today's battle is a powerful proof of his strength.
"Li Hu, like us, knew that only by entering the Song Dynasty and occupying a place in Middle-earth could there be a possibility of fighting for dominance in the world. The reason is that the north is too barren, and whether it is unifying the north or unifying China and foreign countries, it requires strong national strength. The outcome of the war depends on national strength to the end. Those with strong national strength are also the final winners."
"Look at the heroic rulers in the north. Although they won many victories on the battlefield, who can unify Zhongtu in the end? No, none of them, and the final winners are the Central Earth Dynasty with a strong national strength."
"In the past, the first emperor valued Zong Han, and believed that Zong Han's strategy of unification between China and foreign countries was very correct, and the focus of this strategy was to unify the north and bring strong national strength to the Jurchens and to compete with Zhongtu. After the death of the first emperor, this strategy was abandoned. The emperor and we insisted on the strategy of going south, because if we occupy Zhongtu, we would use Zhongtu to
National strength is enough to conquer the desert and achieve unification between China and foreign countries. However, after more than a year of fighting, we have to admit that our national strength is not enough. Although we plundered and our soldiers fought bloody battles, national strength restricted us and made it difficult for us to even realize the idea of occupying the north of the Yellow River."
"This is all because of Li Hu. If it weren't for Li Hu and the Tiger's Fiery Army, we would have conquered Bian Jing and occupied the entire Yellow River Basin." Wanyan Talan disagreed with Zong Wang's statement, and was even more hated for Li Hu.
"Yes, it's because of Li Hu, but why can Li Hu stop us?"
Zong Wang sighed and said sadly: "Li Hu also went south and wanted to seize the power of Central China, but he did it, but we did it, but we did it. We fought with the Song Dynasty, and Li Hu took the opportunity to go south and the fisherman benefited. We were the enemy of the Song Dynasty, occupied the territory of the Song Dynasty, and plundered the wealth of the Song Dynasty. Li Hu was the brother of the Song Dynasty. He won the hearts of the people in the name of resisting the Jin Dynasty. Then he occupied the entire northwest without any bloodshed. Then he took advantage of the opportunity of the split of the Song Dynasty to coerce the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, stole the imperial power, monopolized the power of the Song Dynasty, and seized the land and wealth of the Song Dynasty with justification."
Zong Wang's eyes came from everyone's faces
