In May, the Jurchens had more and more reinforcements. Their main forces gathered on the line of Tanzhou and frequently launched attacks on Niulan Mountain.

On that day, Li Hu rushed to the front line of Niulanshan and discussed strategies with generals such as Dong Zhongsun, Hu Jiayong, and Wang Yao to fight against the enemy.

Although the Jin army reinforcements arrived one after another, the total strength of the Youyan battlefield was still not comparable to that of the Huli Army, which led to the Jin army having to take joint actions and attack at the same time on the Danzhou battlefield and Jizhou battlefield. However, neither Wanyan Xiyin nor Wanyan Zongjun on the Jizhou battlefield dared to let go, because in the past battles, the Jin army was surrounded by the superior forces of the Huli Army repeatedly. The two learned painful lessons and were cautious in the attack process, for fear of repeating the same mistakes.

"With my strength to replace the Beihu Lieutenant Army, I am completely sure to block the Jin army in Niulan Mountain." Dong Zhongsun was full of confidence, "But this is not a solution. Our army cannot reverse the deadlock, and we cannot conquer Yanjing in the short term."

Li Hu touched his beard and smiled, "What suggestions do Dong Shuai have?"

Dong Zhongsun looked at Li Hu who was sitting opposite him, and the scene of seeing Li Hu suddenly appeared in his mind. At that time, Li Hu was a gangster who knew nothing. He held a broken flag and had a one-armed iron eagle under his hands. Luo Sinan also entered the Tiger Lie Army because it was fun or because of sympathy. One big flag and three soldiers were Li Hu at that time. More than ten years have passed, and Li Hu has grown into a king who dominates Middle Earth, with more than 500,000 troops under his hands, who are invincible and invincible. Dong Zhongsun was moved, and he was a little dazed for a moment, staring at Li Hu with his eyes, speechless for a long time.

Li Hu looked at him strangely, "Dong Shuai, what's wrong with you?"

"I remembered the past." Dong Zhongsun smiled, "When I saw you in the village, you were still a half-year-old child."

Hu Jiayong and Wang Yao looked at each other and couldn't help but think of the young general who used to be gambling, playing, timid and as timid as a mouse, was purely a decoration. Now the young general has become the king of Middle Earth and dominates the fate of the world. When I think about it, I feel very sighing, as if I am dreamy.

Li Hu also remembered the past, and many warm memories surged in his heart, and his face was filled with smiles.

"The Yanjing War is over and China and Earth are unified. Should the general be the emperor?" Hu Jiayong asked excitedly.

Li Hu smiled and shook his head.

"General Manager, when are you going to wait?" Wang Yao shook his head when he saw Li Hu shook his head, thinking that Li Hu was about to refuse again, and his face changed immediately.

Li Hu was about to explain, but Dong Zhongsun also pulled his face down and pointed at Li Hu and said, "Don't find a reason, there is no reason, there is no reason, you are the emperor of Middle-earth, our emperor."

"I understand your feelings, but the war has not been completed yet and China and Earth have not been unified yet. Don't mention this matter for the time being." Li Hu smiled, "There are many old ministers of the Great Song Dynasty in the Huliu Army. What is their thoughts? It is unknown at present, but this is a hidden danger. In order to ensure that they can win their loyalty, we must at least unify China and Earth, which is the most basic condition."

Dong Zhongsun, Hu Jiayong and Wang Yao looked at each other and nodded at the same time. As long as Li Hu agreed to ascend the throne and become emperor after the end of the Yanjing War, it would be fine, and other things would be solved immediately.

"The rules are correct." Li Hu's face turned right and asked Dong Zhongsun, "Does Dong Shuai have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

"The old way is to concentrate superior forces to surround part of the Jin army and annihilate the enemy, so that the deadlock can be broken." Dong Zhongsun said, "The Khitans are not reliable. We cannot place victory on others. It is better to win the victory down to our own feet."

"I heard that the general gave all the foreign captives to Yelu Ma Ge. Is it true?" Wang Yao continued Dong Zhongsun's words and asked.

"It's true. I gave it to him. There are 20,000 to 30,000 people, and even the weapons are equipped. This can suddenly increase the strength of the Khitans." Li Hu smiled, "The strength of the Khitans suddenly increased, and I got my promise. My confidence increased greatly. I will definitely take a gamble on the battlefield in Beijing."

"Master, this may be a problem of raising a tiger." Hu Jiayong said worriedly.

"You are too worried." Li Hu said, "My thoughts are completely opposite to you. It is because I am worried that the Khitans are not strong enough that I spared no effort to help them. I brought the captives of the foreign people from the Central Plains to Youyan, with the purpose of giving them to the Khitans."

"Use foreign countries to control foreign countries?" Dong Zhongsun felt something.

"That's right." Li Hu said, "You may not know very well how long it will take for my Middle Earth Classic to recover our national strength after the severe damage. You all know that the Song Dynasty has always been very powerful, but it was defeated by the Khitans and Jurchens. Why is it defeated thousands of miles in a row?

"The army has no combat power and is vulnerable." Hu Jiayong replied.

Li Hu shook his hand, "The main force of the Song Dynasty is the Northwest Army, but the Northwest Army is in our hands and everything will be defeated. What is the explanation for this?"

Hu Jiayong hesitated and said nothing. Wang Yao thought of Li Hu's reform and the anti-corruption storm that was raging in Middle-earth. "The Grand Marshal is because of the national policy of the Song Dynasty."

"Very right." Li Hu praised, "The failure of the Song Dynasty lies in the failure of national policies, so we need to change, and change is not something that can be accomplished in five or ten years, nor is it a matter of one or two generations. So from my point of view, if China and Turkey want to restore national strength, it will take at least twenty to thirty years. During this period, we can only defend against the enemy outside the country."

"We are restoring our national strength, and the Jurchens' strength is also growing. The Jin army may invade at any time and destroy the great cause of revitalization in China and Turkey. Therefore, we need to cultivate a powerful force in the north to restrain and fight against the Jurchens. This force is the Khitans."

"The Khitans have destroyed their country and their strength has suffered unprecedented heavy damage. If they want to rebuild the Great Liao, it is conceivable that the desert will try their best to obstruct them, and the Jurchens will also attack wildly. For a long time in the future, the Khitans will have a very difficult life. Therefore, we must take advantage of this for a long time to increase the strength of the Khitans, change the situation in the north, and let the world develop in a direction that is conducive to Central Earth."

Li Hu elaborated on his northern strategy and the concept of the world pattern in detail. Dong Zhongsun, Hu Jiayong and Wang Yao then had a clear and complete understanding of the future situation in the northern region.

"If we want to achieve our goal, as far as the battle situation in Youyan is concerned, it is not impossible to maintain a stalemate. Of course, it would be better if we could win one or two battles on local battlefields." Li Hu said, "Shisan Yue had planned to concentrate his troops to defeat Wanyan Zongjun on the Jizhou battlefield, but Wanyan Zongjun was very careful and was unwilling to fight us. Since that's the case, let's change it, fight Wanyan Xiyin first, drive the Jin army back to Zhongjing, and destroy Wanyan Gao's confidence in defending Yanjing to the death."

In mid-May, the situation in the north began to change.

The Khitan emperor Yelu Longqing and the prime minister Yelu Dashi gathered troops in the desert, while the other prime minister Yelu Mage gathered 50,000 troops in Daibei, and joined forces with the collapsed Ling Fan army and the Shiwei people to attack the front line of the Lightning River.

The situation in Shangjing of Jin was critical, and the main force of the Jin army fought fiercely with the Huli Army on the Youyan battlefield. The Jin army was already in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides. For this reason, Huanglong Mansion urgently summoned Zong Han back to Beijing to discuss strategies to defend the enemy. Zong Han quickly returned to Huanglong Mansion from Shangjing and proposed to give up Yanjing and exchange the seven states in front of the mountain for a peaceful alliance with Li Hu.

Wanyan Zonggan and Gao Qingyi, as the special envoy to discuss peace talks, rushed to Youyan day and night with the imperial edict.

In mid-May, under the command of Yue Fei and Dong Zhongsun, the Hu Lie Army gathered its main force in Niulan Mountain and suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Jin army.

Although the Jin army was prepared for a long time, they were unable to resist the troops and retreated continuously. The Tiger and Lieutenant Army attacked the entire line, and the situation was unstoppable.

On May 22, Wanyan Xiyin received an urgent report from Huanglong Mansion, and shot the Tiger and Lieutenant Army and demanded a truce to negotiate peace.

The peace agreement letter was quickly delivered to Li Hu, and at this moment Huang Shehe Yuanye happened to come from Chang'an.

Li Hu's silence made Chang'an very uneasy. Even Luo Sinan could not predict Li Hu's thoughts. In desperation, he had to let Huang She and Yuanye arrive at the Yanjing frontline.

"The two are coming just right." Li Hu smiled, "The Jurchens want to negotiate peace. And I just need the peace envoy. You can prepare and strive to reach an alliance with the Jurchens before winter comes and recover Yanshan Prefecture."

If negotiations are based on Li Hu's overall concept, it will be very difficult, and even involve the checks and balances of power in the Jin Dynasty, it is almost impossible to complete.

"When will the Grand Marshal return to Chang'an?" Huang She asked tentatively.

"After regaining Yanshan Prefecture, China and Earth are basically unified, I can go back." Li Hu laughed, "You came from Chang'an thousands of miles away, just to hear a word from me. The situation in the north did not meet my expected goal some time ago. I can't say this sentence, but now I can say it."

Huang She and Yuanye were both surprised and happy, with an expectant look on their faces.

"How is the end of the year?" Li Hu asked, "Is it time?"

"It's time, it's time." Huang She said excitedly, "There's no problem in Chang'an, and there's even more problem in the local area. As for the abdication, we can start preparing from now on."

"Don't be anxious. End the Yanjing War first and complete the Northern Expedition. After the news of the unification of China-Turkish forces spread throughout China-Turkish forces, the next thing will be very simple." Li Hu said, "You first negotiate with the Jin Kingdom and reach a preliminary agreement, the Deputy Prime Minister will return to Chang'an and start the preparations for the founding of the country."

In June, Wanyan Zonggan and Gao Qingyi arrived in Yanjing.

Li Hu proposed the conditions for peace talks, and the Jin army must return it to Youyan, including Pingzhou Road, otherwise there would be no possibility of an alliance between the two sides.

The peace agreement proposed by Huanglong Mansion was that both sides would return to the "maritime alliance" and the Jin Kingdom would return to Yanshan Mansion. At the same time, the Song Dynasty had to comply with the alliance and the two countries would join forces to attack the Khitan.

The two sides had too many differences, but the situation in the Jin Dynasty was not good at this moment. In order to get rid of the dilemma of fighting on both sides as soon as possible, concessions must be made. The attack ability of the Tiger Lieutenant Army has reached its limit. It can only win Yanshan Prefecture through negotiations, and concessions must also be made.
