The envoy of the Liao Kingdom hurried back to Pingzhou and reported the palace account as quickly as possible.

The Jin envoy rushed to Xianzhou and also reported to Huanglong Mansion as quickly as possible.

Li Hu wanted to separatist vassal states, to be a third-party force in Liaodong, and to get a share of the future interests of Liaodong. This news immediately attracted the attention of the Liao and Jin countries. They had to re-examine the situation and re-evaluate the possible influence of Li Hu and the rebel army in the future development of the Liaodong situation.

The Jinzhou War changed the situation in Liaodong and also caused the three forces in Liaodong to adjust their respective strategies.

Therefore, the Liao people fell into a passive position, and changed from active attack to passive defense, proactively advocating the Jin Dynasty and proactively advocating the rebels.

The Jin people changed from passive to active, no longer used peace talks to defend passively, but turned to active defense strategies, and tried to find opportunities to turn to active attacks.

The Liaodong Rebel Army rose and developed in battle. It has now become an important force to promote the development of the Liaodong situation. Although the Liao and Jin people still despise it, they have to recognize its strength and list it as an important goal in the process of adjusting their respective strategies.

The reason why the Liaodong Rebel Army was despised by the Liao and Jin people was that it had not yet escaped the threat of defeat and had been struggling for survival. It was precisely for survival that the Liaodong Rebel Army had to do its best to win the best interests at the minimum cost, and then gain opportunities for the Liaodong Rebel Army to survive, develop and grow. Li Hu thought about it for more than a month by the sea, discussed with Luo Qinghan, Dong Xiaochou and the main officials of the General Office every day, and finally formulated a plan for the vassal state.

It is absolutely impossible to be king. If the king exposes the ultimate goal of the rebel army, it will become the target of public criticism in the shortest time and will be attacked by enemies from all sides. At this time, you can only keep a low profile, hide your strength, show your enemy weakness, and survive at the minimum cost, and then develop slowly and grow slowly. When the time is ripe, and when the strength is enough to compete with enemies from all sides, you will launch a fatal blow.

The Rebel Army currently has an army of 100,000, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and has a certain strength, but it is very fragile and vulnerable. If it cannot maintain its independence, all forces cannot recognize the independence of the Rebel Army. Then, no matter how it fights, it will eventually be used as a wedding dress for others. Not only will it have nothing, it will also be wiped out.

Who exactly did the Liaodong rebels fight for? Why? Whether it is for themselves, for the Han people in Liaodong, the Bohai people and other bullied foreign tribes, the rebels bleed and sweated, and sacrificed their heads and blood, and they will always gain something in the end. Otherwise, what is the significance of today's bloody battle?

When a vassal state is established, it will have territory, be recognized by all forces, and can also gain something in the future development of the Liaodong situation. If I make a contribution, I will get rewards. This is the most basic principle.

To establish a feudal state, the first thing to do is to rely on the great powers and keep the same interests as the great powers, so that they can get territory. Only when aid is provided will there be rewards after paying blood and sweat.

In terms of the current strength and situation of the rebel army, this is the most reasonable, realistic and practical strategy, and can be exchanged for the greatest benefit at the minimum cost.

"The chief commanders of each army and the governors of each state are arriving in Jinzhou one after another." Huang She smiled, "Is it time for the chief commander and Luo Shuai to leave?"

Luo Sinan smiled but said nothing, looking at Li Hu beside him. Li Hu didn't know what he was thinking about, and he was a little dazed. He didn't notice Luo Sinan's gaze and didn't say anything. Luo Sinan has been used to it. Recently, Li Hu has been so distracted and has no interest in anything.

"General Commander..." Huang She shouted. "When are you planning to leave?"

Li Hu looked at him and asked: "About the survival of the rebel army and the local affairs of the establishment of vassal states, we must explain it clearly to the commanders of each army before this wedding, so that they can have a clear understanding of the future development of the rebel army and be confident in the future of the rebel army.: Are you ready for these things?"

Huang She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Shuai Luo and Dong Shuai have discussed it many times, and they all feel that it seems a little earlier to bring up this matter."

Li Hu frowned slightly, "Are you worried that the commanders of each army think I am interested in being dependent on Liao?"

"It's true." Huang She said, "As for the current situation, it is easy to cause such misunderstandings and may affect the morale of the army, so..."

"We have such high conditions, how could the Khitans agree?" Li Hu sneered, "They don't even know this?"

"What if the Khitans agreed?" Huang She asked, "This may not be absent. The disaster of the vassal states is still fresh in memory for the Song people, but there is no bloody lesson for the Khitans and Jin people. The Fan tribe was originally led by tribes of all sizes, and each tribe is actually a vassal state. They are used to this independent model, and the possibility of acceptance is not without."

Li Hu laughed, "What? Do you think it's possible? So is it Khitan or Jurchen?"

"I just said that there is a possibility." Huang She smiled. "The vassal states we want have absolute independence, and to some extent, it is an independent vassal state. In today's Liaodong, whether it is the Khitans or the Jurchens, if they are willing to give up some of their own interests, there is still a possibility of agreeing. It is just that considering that raising a tiger is a disaster and the tiger hurts people a lot, they are worried about gains and losses, and they may find it difficult to make a decision in the near future."

"What you mean is that we want to fight a war and push the situation in Liaodong a little bit, right?" Li Hu asked.

Huang She nodded, "Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to make a decision."

Li Hu was silent for a long time and didn't say anything. Obviously he didn't want to fight, so he still wanted to use the changes in the situation to find opportunities.

"The Jin Kingdom has not officially rejected the peace talks of Liao Kingdom so far. When Wanyan Aguda officially refused, the Liao and Jin Kingdom planned to start a war, and the situation will inevitably change." Li Hu said, "We should not fight, we should wait patiently and sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight."

Then he smiled at Luo Sinan, "How about we go back to Jinzhou tomorrow?" Among the merchants of the Song Dynasty, two of the horse dealers had suspicious appearances. The guards investigated strictly. The two horse dealers suddenly said that they were the confidants of the Tiger King. They were ordered to go to the Song Dynasty to investigate the military situation and carefully depicted Li Hudi. The guards were suspicious and handed them over to Shangguan. Shangguan hurriedly reported to the governor. The governor hurriedly asked Fang Jin, the leader of the Iron Guard Camp beside the general.

After Huang She heard about this, she asked Fang Jin to bring the person to ask.

Two horse dealers arrived at the office. Huang She saw that it was Ma Kuo, the envoy of the Song Dynasty. This was really a shocking joy. Li Hu was looking forward to Ma Kuo’s arrival day and night. God had the eyes and actually sent him.

When Li Hu heard the news, he was surprised and left the house to greet him in person. The two met again and were very happy.

After a few greetings, Li Hu immediately asked, "Brother Zichong, have you gone to my hometown?"

Ma Kuo has always disbelief of him as a native of the Song Dynasty, which made Li Hu feel uneasy. The situation now requires, if Ma Kuo believes that he is a native of the Song Dynasty, then many of the next things can be solved.

Ma Kuo didn't say anything, the smile on his face was a little unnatural and his eyes were a little flustered.

Li Hu asked again. Ma Kuo's expression did not escape Li Hu's eyes. He knew that Ma Kuo must have been there and investigated it, but he avoided it. Why? Is all my family dead?

"I said I don't believe it," Ma Kuo said, "so there is no need for me to investigate."

Li Hu's face changed slightly, he stared at Ma Kuodi's eyes hard, and asked in a low voice: "Who is my enemy?"

Ma Kuo shook his head and walked ahead, but sighed secretly in his heart. Human destiny is really strange. Li Hu's father would never have dreamed that Li Hu could have the strong strength today. If he had the ability to predict the future, he would definitely tell Li Hu about his enemies. Then, what would be next would be unimaginable.

After Ma Kuo returned to Bianjing, he reported in detail to the emperor about Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army, and reported his ideas truthfully, believing that Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army could promote the development of the situation in Liaodong and help the Song Dynasty recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

At the same time, he sent people to Li Hu's hometown to investigate, and the results of the investigation surprised him. Li Hu was not only a native of the Song Dynasty, but also a member of the Yuanyou Party. His ancestors were once famous figures in the dynasty's prime minister and reformist faction.

Ma Kuo was shocked when he heard the news.

Seventeen years ago, the "Yuanyou Party Case" broke out. Three hundred and nine Yuanyou Party members led by Sima Guang and Su Shi were engraved with stones to show off their crimes. The Party members were standing outside Duanli Gate. The officials listed on the Party members were detained for the most serious detention, and the lesser ones were demoted to a distant place. They were not allowed to move inside without permission. Their descendants were not allowed to stay in the capital or participate in scientific examinations. The Yuanyou Party members suffered heavy damage and were tortured.

The Yuanyou Party Case was initiated by Zi himself. The officials on the Party Clause were drafted by Cai Jing, and the names of the officials on the Party Clause were written and engraved on the stele by the emperor. This case was for sure and could not be turned over. Especially Li Hu's grandfather, he was a minister of the reform faction and was not a member of the Yuanyou Party. The reason why he was labeled as a Yuanyou Party was because he offended Cai Jing. Cai Jing was powerful in the court and the country and had not fallen for more than ten years. Li Hu and his father did not have any way out except to escape.
