Wanyan Gao hated Li Hu to the core. He had no intention of negotiating at all. He planned to fight Li Hu in Yanjing, win this battle at all costs and turn the situation around.

Liu Yanzong immediately dissuaded, "Marson, how likely do you think we are to defend Yanjing?"

Wanyan Gao has more than 100,000 troops in his hands, and reinforcements from Zhongjing and Tokyo are entering Yanjing. If nothing unexpected happens, at the end of this month to next month, Wanyan Gao can gather at least 200,000 troops in Yanshan Prefecture to fight Li Hu in decisive battle. Of course, Li Hu's strength has surpassed the Jin Kingdom after the Hulie Army completely wiped out Zongfu's Hebei army, and at least surpassed the Jin Kingdom on the Youyan battlefield. This decisive battle is actually to defend Yanjing to the death, so as to hold the Hulie Army and use the financial resources of China and Earth to support the war for a long time to win the final victory. Therefore, Wanyan Gao told Liu Yanzong confidently, "We can definitely defend Yanjing."

Liu Yanzong smiled bitterly and asked again, "The Marshal was long before Zhending was lost and the war situation in Hebei was in crisis. He asked Huanglong Mansion for help, hoping that Huanglong Mansion could send reinforcements. But until today, Zhending has been lost for a month. Why haven't he seen reinforcements enter Yanshan Mansion?"

Wanyan Gao was stunned for a moment, the confidence on his face slowly disappeared, and his eyes gradually showed anger.

It is obvious that Huanglongfu's slow reaction was not because he had confidence in Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zongfu, nor because he made a wrong estimate of the war situation in Hebei. Instead, someone interfered with it and deliberately delayed the speed of reinforcements, which led to the Jin army's inability to stick to the Baigou line after the defeat in Hebei, which made the Huliwei army unstoppable and surrounded Yanjing in a short time. Of course, these people who were interested in using the war situation in Hebei to attack Wu Qimai and Wanyan Gao did not guess that Wanyan Zongfu and Hebei Jin army would be wiped out, otherwise they would not have put Youyan in today's predicament. However, Youyan's predicament actually gave these people an opportunity to hit Wu Qimai and Wanyan Gao heavily. The situation in Huanglongfu in the future will be more complicated and there will be many crises.

Seeing Wanyan Gao's expression solemn, Liu Yanzong knew that his reminder had played a role, so he continued: "The decisive battle has been formed on the Youyan battlefield, but our army is at a disadvantage and can only hold on to the city. The opportunity to counterattack is now impossible. In this case, the people in Huanglong Mansion will definitely seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and take the opportunity to seize power."

Wanyan Gao's face suddenly changed.

The war situation has developed to this day, and the Jin army has been defeated continuously. Wanyan Gao, the Marshal of the Capital, has an unshirkable responsibility. His political future is very bleak. Whether he can maintain his existing power depends on the battle of Yanjing. However, in fact, there is no chance to turn defeat into victory in the Yanjing War. The biggest possibility is that Li Hu will withdraw his troops voluntarily, but no one can predict when Li Hu will withdraw his troops. With the financial resources of China and the financial resources of China, there is even a possibility of long-term support for the war. If Li Hu does not withdraw his troops and the army of the two countries continues to fight like this, then the situation will obviously be unfavorable to the Jin Kingdom, especially very unfavorable to Wanyan Gao.

If Wanyan Gao wants to lose his merits, he must defend Yanjing and defeat Li Hu as quickly as possible. However, the opponents of Huanglong Mansion must interfere with it and constantly "attack" Wanyan Gao. Then can Wu Qimai still protect Wanyan Gao? Can Wanyan Gao still give Wanyan Gao time to defeat Li Hu? Wanyan Gao fell, Wu Qimai suffered a great loss of strength, and Wu Qimai can still retain his existing authority? Wu Qimai cannot protect his authority. Once the Jurchen Alliance led by Wanyan Zonghan has the highest decision-making power, it can be foreseeable that the world of the Great Jin Kingdom will change.

"We all know the relationship between Li Hu and the Khitans." Liu Yanzong said, "When the Khitans saw us retreating Youyan, the main forces rushed to Yanjing to fight, and they would inevitably join forces with the desert to attack Shangjing again. Our Great Jin Kingdom was attacked from both sides, and the safety of Shangjing was directly related to the safety of Huanglong Mansion. It is not difficult to infer that Huanglong Mansion must have all its strength to guard Shangjing. In this way, can Yanjing still defend it?"

Wanyan Gao's cold sweat came out. Thinking of the consequences of the fall of Yanjing, he couldn't help but fight a cold war, and was extremely frightened.

Once the Jin Kingdom was attacked from both sides, whether it was Wu Qimai or his opponent, the primary decision was to defend Shangjing to ensure the safety of Huanglong Mansion. In other words, in order to avoid fighting on both sides, Huanglong Mansion had to give in to Li Hu and exchange Yanshan Mansion for Li Hu's peace and the alliance between Zhongtu. If the situation develops to this point, Wanyan Gao will definitely be over, Wu Qimai is in danger, and the power struggle in Huanglong Mansion will finally have a result, but this result is obviously a result that Wu Qimai and Wanyan Gao are unwilling to see.

Liu Yanzong was a member of Wu Qimai. He was the main suggestion to promote the implementation of the Han system of the Great Jin Dynasty. Wu Qimai lost power, and Wu Qimai suffered a heavy blow. Liu Yanzong was the first to bear the brunt of the attack and wanted to fall together with Wanyan Gao. The two of them prospered and lost together, so Liu Yanzong had to analyze the future situation thoroughly.

"The Marshal's time is not much." Liu Yanzong said astonishingly, "Although Li Hu invested hundreds of thousands of troops in the battlefield of Yanjing, he had no absolute advantage, and he could not conquer Yanjing in a short period of time. A battle in Yanjing must be a protracted war. Li Hu had enough time, and the Marshal's time was limited. Based on my guess, the Khitans sounded the horn of assembly in the desert. When Yelu Longqing led his army to attack Beijing, that is, the moment the Marshal left Yanjing. Once the Marshal left Yanjing, it would be a terrible disaster for His Majesty, the entire royal family and the civil and military ministers who depended on the royal family."

Wanyan Gao couldn't sit still, his face became very ugly, and his mind was even more confused.

Liu Yanzong stopped talking and gave Wanyan Gao time to calm down.

After a long time, Wanyan Gao moved his body hard and asked respectfully: "What are the countermeasures?"

"Li Hu has already thought of a countermeasure for the Marshal." Liu Yanzong smiled bitterly, "Li Hu is a genius, a rare genius. I even suspect that he had already thought of this countermeasure when he launched the Northern Expedition."

Wanyan Gao didn't understand and looked puzzled.

During the negotiations in Shahe, Li Hu once took out a "bait" to exchange Yanjing for support for Wanyan Gao and help him as the "Prince of the Cuban". Wanyan Gao became Deputy Chu, and he would inherit the throne of the emperor bought by Wu Qi, which means that the power of the Great Jin Kingdom will always be controlled by the royal family. As for how to help, Li Hu did not say that, because Wanyan Gao did not give Li Hu the chance to continue speaking, he rejected Li Hu's terms of peace talks. Now Li Hu fought to Yanjing, forcing Wanyan Gao to a desperate situation, and then immediately proposed peace talks, and the conditions for peace talks are very likely to be the same "bait", but the question is, when Wanyan Gao was in a desperate situation, how could Li Hu turn the tide, help Wanyan Gao get out of the predicament and get up to the high position of "Prince of the Cuban"?

Wanyan Gao couldn't figure it out, so he lowered his head and didn't say anything, waiting for Liu Yanzong to continue talking. Perhaps Liu Yanzong already knew the answer.

"I finally understand one thing now." Liu Yanzong reached out and picked up Li Hu's letter from the desk, held it to Wanyan Gao and shook it twice, with admiration on his face, "Li Hu's real purpose in launching the Northern Expedition was not to recover Hebei and Youyan, but to use the Northern Expedition to usurp the Song Dynasty's national destiny."

Wanyan Gao suddenly looked up and stared at Liu Yanzong. He immediately figured out the key point, "So that's it, so that's it..." Wanyan Gao suddenly raised his right hand and slapped it on the table, "Li Hu is so amazing, this plan is amazing..."

Liu Yanzong nodded repeatedly, "It is indeed a wonderful plan. We always thought that Li Hu would seize the great Song Dynasty after stabilizing Middle Earth, but now it seems that he is impatient. He wants to seize the great Song Dynasty immediately and dominate Middle Earth."

"In order to seize the reign of the Song Dynasty, he first had to fight the Northern Expedition and unify the Central Plains in order to achieve great merits." Wanyan Gao said with a little excitement, "Now there are merits. If he does not take the opportunity to seize the reign of the Song Dynasty, he will lose the best opportunity."

"Even if Li Hu still has the patience to wait at this moment, his subordinates are no longer patient. Dong Xiaochou, Luo Qinghan and others will never watch such an opportunity be lost out of thin air." Liu Yanzong continued Wanyan Gao, "Li Hu is unable to ride a tiger, so he can only seize the great Song Dynasty as quickly as possible. Although in his opinion, this opportunity may not be very good."

"Li Hu entered Middle Earth for too short and had too many opponents. The risk of seizing the great Song Dynasty was very high. For this reason, he needed the ally of the Great Jin Kingdom." Wanyan Gao said, "We were at a disadvantage in the Great Jin Kingdom, while the Jurchen Alliance led by Zonghan was at the upper hand. At this time, he could get the guarantee of peace by allies with us."

"Zonghan insisted on the development strategy of 'first north and then south'. He wanted to conquer the desert, but Li Hu helped the Khitans rebuild the Great Liao. The Khitans wanted to get rid of Li Hu's control and rise again, so they secretly formed an alliance with the Great Jin Kingdom and took advantage of the opportunity of the Jin army to severely damage the Bu people and reenter the desert." Liu Yanzong said, "The Khitans rose very quickly. This time they must take advantage of the opportunity of the Tiger Lie Army's northern expedition to attack Shangjing again. In this way, not only will Zonghan be blocked from conquering the desert, but the security of Huanglong Mansion be threatened."

"Huanglong Mansion was forced to negotiate peace with Li Hu, and Li Hu was rewarded with helping the Jurchens conquering the desert." Wanyan Gao said more and more excited, and his despair had disappeared. "In order to conquer the desert, Huanglong Mansion must make concessions to Li Hu. The first condition is the candidate for "Prince of the Crown". From the perspective of the future of the Great Jin Kingdom, Zong Han will definitely accept Li Hu's conditions and use the candidate for "Prince of the Crown" to exchange for the support of the entire Huanglong Mansion, so as to ensure that the Jin army can conquer the desert and unify the entire north."

"As soon as Li Hu made this strategy, he won Yanjing, and won the alliance with the Jin Kingdom, and also affected the power struggle in Huanglong Mansion, which also affected the decision of the Jin Kingdom." Liu Yanzong shook his head and sighed, "The decision of the Jin Kingdom was established, and all his forces were immediately sent to the battle to conquer the desert. At that time, we fought hard with the Khitans and the desert, and Li Hu ascended the throne and emperor, and used thunder to stabilize the entire Middle Earth, quickly restored the national strength, and strengthened his strength."

Wanyan Gao also shook his head and sighed, "At the time when we heard that Li Hu helped the Khitans rebuild the Great Liao, we all thought that Li Hu was raising the tigers. Now we know that Li Hu used the Khitans as bait. Only when Li Hu helped the Khitans rebuild the Great Liao could Li Hu feel the threat of the Khitans, and the Great Jin Kingdom would urgently need to conquer the desert. Only in this way can this bait work and ensure that the Great Jin Kingdom accept his peace agreement." Wanyan Gao smiled bitterly, smiling very bitterly, "The Khitans were betrayed by Li Hu, and we were also plotted by Li Hu and fell into this huge trap."

"This is a terrible trap." Liu Yanzong was a little depressed. "Our strategy of 'south first and then north' failed, and we could only re-engage the development strategy of 'north first and then south'. However, at this time, the Khitans rebuilt the Great Liao, and we and the Khitans had to fight for life and death. This situation seemed to be caused by the development of the situation, but if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that Li Hu played a key role in it. Whether he helped the Khitans rebuilt the Great Liao or helped us conquer the desert, Li Hu finally got the best interests."

Wanyan Gao figured out Li Hu's peace talks, and his excitement gradually disappeared. A helplessness and sorrow of being controlled by others suddenly filled his body and mind, "Will the Great Jin Dynasty stand in Middle-earth in the future?"
