In mid-June, Yelu Longqing and Yelu Dashi led his army to join Yelu Mage... The Khitan coalition gathered about 100,000 troops and launched an attack on Shangjing.

Under the command of Wanyan Loushi and Yin Shuke, the Jin army blocked the Heihe line, and the two armies fought fiercely.

In mid-June, under the order of Li Hu, Yue Fei and Dong Zhongsun gathered troops to attack Tanzhou again. The Huli Army attacked fiercely for days and used firearms. When Huanglong Mansion decided to give up Yanshan Mansion, he transferred most of the main forces on the Danzhou battlefield to the Shangjing battlefield, which led to a serious shortage of troops on the Danzhou battlefield.

On June 21, Miyun City, Tanzhou Zhifu, was captured by the Tiger Lieutenant Army, and Wanyan Xiyin led his army to retreat to Gubeikou.

The Tiger and Lieutenant Army then chased and the two armies fought fiercely again at Gubeikou.

Wanyan Zonggan and Gao Qingren saw the message conveyed by Li Hu very clearly from the attack target of the Hu Lie Army, that is, Li Hu's bottom line is to recover Yanshan Prefecture, and Pingzhou Road can be used to exchange interests with the Jin Kingdom. As for what kind of interests the Jin Kingdom can provide to satisfy Li Hu, it is unknown.

At Wanyan Zonggan's request, Li Hu allowed him to enter Yanjing to meet Wanyan Gao and convey the imperial edict of Huanglong Mansion to Wanyan Gao. Gao Qingyi originally wanted to accompany him, but was rejected by Li Hu. Gao Qingyi immediately felt that there was something wrong with it. He was Zonghan's person, while Wanyan Gao, Wanyan Zonggan and Yang Pu were the same as Emperor Wu Qimai. Li Hu asked Wanyan Zonggan to enter the city alone, obviously trying to give them time to plan countermeasures.

In the past few months, Hebei was lost, Yanjing was besieged, and the Jin army was defeated in Central China and collapsed thousands of miles away. The strategy of "first south and then north" that Wu Qimai and his followers insisted on was completely failed, and brought a serious crisis to the Jin Kingdom, causing the Jin Kingdom to suffer unprecedented damage. As a result, the power structure of Huanglong Mansion also changed, and Wu Qimai had to make compromises and concessions to the Jurchen Alliance. Wanyan Zonghan was recalled to Huanglong Mansion and served as the Youbo Jilie, the Marshal of Guo Lu, and was actually in charge of the military power of the Jin Kingdom. The former Marshal of the Great Jin Kingdom was dismissed, but the position of Zuobo Jilie of Guo Lu was temporarily retained.

The change in the power structure of Huanglongfu not only changed the national policy of the Jin Dynasty, but also caused the strength of the power faction headed by Wu Qimai to suddenly decline. Wu Qimai would not wait for death, he would definitely fight back and try every means to weaken Zong Han's military power. The only way for Zhizhang Zonghan is to ensure that the army in Wanyan Gao's hands safely withdraw from Yanjing.

Wanyan Zonggan went to the city alone and would have to discuss a proper solution with Wanyan Gao, Yang Pu, Liu Yanzong and others. The premise of this method is to meet Li Hu's interests. As long as he gets help from Li Hu, Wu Qimai will definitely be able to firmly control his authority and continue to compete with the Jurchen Alliance.

Gao Qingyi immediately reported to Zong Han and asked him to speed up his journey and quickly arrived in Yanjing.

After meeting Wanyan Gao, Liu Yanzong and others, Wanyan Zonggan carefully explained the development of the current situation in the north and the changes in the power structure of Huanglongfu. Finally, he said to Wanyan Gao: "We must try to meet Li Hu's requirements and reach an alliance as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will become increasingly unfavorable to us."

Wanyan Gao, Liu Yanzong and others looked at each other and were shocked. Facts proved that the development of the situation was almost the same as their previous speculations. Li Hu had completely controlled the initiative in the northern battlefield. If he was determined to give up Pingzhou Road, then the main force of the Jin army would be dragged on the Youyan battlefield, and the Jin army would be attacked from both sides, and the situation was extremely critical.

"Do Zonghan really want to give up Pingzhou Road?" Wanyan Gao asked helplessly.

"In terms of Zonghan's personality, he can give up Hebei, but he will never give up Youyan. Therefore, unless it is a last resort, his so-called decision to exchange Yanshan Prefecture for the alliance with Zhongtu is just to deceive Li Hu and delay time." Wanyan Zonggan said, "By my guess, he personally rushed to Yanjing to negotiate. In fact, he put his hope of turning the situation around the war on the battlefield of Shangjing. As long as Wanyan Loushi and Yinshu can defeat the Khitans on the Heihe line, then Li Hu's advantage will be gone, and it is still hard to say whether he can win Yanjing in the end."

Wanyan Gao, Liu Yanzong and others immediately understood this sentence. Obviously, Wu Qimai would never give Zong Han the chance to defeat the Khitans. If Zong Han defeated the Khitans on the battlefield in Shangjing and turned the tide, then the Jurchen League would have greater authority in Huanglong Mansion. Therefore, the one who was really sincere in this negotiation was Wu Qimai. Now Wu Qimai was in a hurry. If he wanted to turn the unfavorable situation and if he wanted to continue to compete with the Jurchen League, he could only exchange Yanshan Palace for Li Hu's covenant. As long as he could establish a certain degree of intimacy with Li Hu, his strength would be restored, and he could continue to control power and maintain a balance of power with the Jurchen League.

"We have made some speculations about the purpose of Li Hu's initiative to propose peace." Wanyan Gao roughly explained the analysis of the entire situation by several of them. "If Li Hu wants to ascend the throne and become an emperor and build a country in Zhongtu, then he needs us as an ally very much, so he has a great sincerity in peacekeeping. However, in order to ensure that there is enough time to stabilize Zhongtu, he must use the power struggles within our Great Jin Dynasty and use the three-legged situation formed in the north to maintain peace in the northern border. In other words, the possibility of Zong Han's plan to unify the north in the short term is slim."

Wanyan Zonggan nodded repeatedly, "Our army suffered consecutive setbacks in Central China and its strength was severely damaged, and it really takes time to recover its vitality. If we can suppress Zonghan and the Jurchen Alliance during this period and win the power struggle in Huanglong Mansion. Then when the time is right, we can conquer the desert and unify the north."

After repeated discussions, Wanyan Gao and others finally came up with a peace proposal.

On June 24, Wanyan Zonggan, Yang Pu and Liu Yanzong went out of the city to negotiate with Li Hu. During this negotiation, both sides intentionally left Gao Qingyi aside.

Liu Yanzong made an open and blunt statement and told Li Hu that Zonghan definitely did not want to give up Youyan, because Zonghan still had hope of turning defeat into victory. As long as Wanyan Loushi and Yinshu could defeat the Khitans on the battlefield in Shangjing, Li Hu's advantage would be completely lost.

"This is the plan we have drawn up. Please check the Tiger King. If you can accept it, we can quickly reach a covenant." Liu Yanzong handed Li Hu a file, "In this way, the Tiger King can recover Yanshan Prefecture and complete the great cause of unification."

Li Hu smiled slightly and reached out to take it. Liu Yanzong's words also have another meaning, that is, if the alliance is reached quickly, the Jin army would not have enough time to defeat the Khitans on the battlefield in Beijing, and Zonghan's last hope of turning the situation around the war was dashed, and he had to accept reality.

In this plan, the Jin Kingdom returned Yanshan Prefecture to Middle-earth. However, it continued to occupy Pingzhou Road, based on the "maritime alliance". Secondly, the Jin Kingdom recognized the existence of the Liao Kingdom and was willing to establish an alliance with Middle-earth and Liao Kingdom to maintain peace and stability in the north.

This was a huge concession for the Jurchens, and it was also a wise choice that Wanyan Gao and others had to make after carefully considering the situation.

Li Hu is about to proclaim himself emperor and establish a country. He needs time to stabilize Middle-earth. After suffering severe damage, the Jin Kingdom actually has no strength to conquer the desert in the short term, and the Jurchens also need time to recover their vitality. If the Jurchens dragged their scarred bodies to attack the desert, not to mention whether they could achieve the expected victory, first of all, Li Hu would not stand by. He must help the Khitans to maintain the three-legged situation in the north. In this way, the situation is still unfavorable to the Jin Kingdom.

After Li Hu finished watching it carefully, a smile finally appeared on his face. Although he wanted to see the Khitans and Jurchens fall into the abyss of war, now he is forced to ascend the throne immediately and establish a country and open up the border. During this period, he does not want the war in the north to affect the stability of the northern border. The Jurchens took the initiative to make concessions and actively accept the situation of the three-legged state in the north. This is a favorable thing for all three parties.

"Is this what your emperor means?" Li Hu asked.

Yang Pu and Liu Yanzong looked at Wanyan Zonggan at the same time, and only he could answer this question.

"Please rest assured that if you agree, I will return to Huanglong Mansion immediately and will definitely bring you good news in half a month." Wanyan Zonggan said very surely.

Li Hu glanced at him and smiled meaningfully, "What if Zonghan doesn't agree?"

Wanyan Zonggan smiled faintly, "What the Tiger King needs is also what we need."

Li Hu laughed, "What? Do you want to use my power to convince Zong Han?"

Wanyan Zonggan also laughed and stopped talking.

Li Hu thought for a long time and said flatly: "Okay, I agree."

At the end of June, Zong Han arrived at the city of Yanjing to negotiate with Li Hu.

Wanyan Gao participated in the negotiations and came up with a draft agreement that the two sides had reached an agreement.

Zong Han sighed secretly. After receiving Gao Qingyi's letter, he had already had a premonition that Wanyan Gao would make a compromise with Li Hu. The key part of the compromise was to recognize the Liao Kingdom and accept the situation of the three-legged state in the north. In fact, the power struggle in Huanglong Mansion continued to this negotiation. Wanyan Gao successfully used this opportunity to delay Zong Han's pace of conquering the desert and prevented the Jurchen Alliance headed by Zong Han from seizing greater power.

Zong Han remained silent. He planned to drag on and wait for a turnaround in the battlefield to go to Beijing.

"I have already gathered in Yuanyang under the command of Iron Eagle." Li Hu directly threatened Zong Han, "You don't have any chance to defeat the Khitans. The longer the time is, the more unfavorable it will be for you."

Zong Han had no expression on his face and looked at it disdainful.

"If the Khitans defeated the Jin army on the Heihe line, this alliance would be invalid." Li Hu continued, "I will command the army to conquer Pingzhou Road and cooperate with the Khitans to launch an attack on Zhongjing."

Wanyan Gao took the opportunity to add, "The emperor's imperial edict will probably be delivered to Yanjing soon."
