Li Hu thought about fucking* in the study until Luo Qinghan and others rushed over, Li Hu was still lying on the map to concentrate and ponder.,
Li Hu waved his hand and asked everyone to sit beside him. Luo Qinghan, Dong Xiaohou, Tieying, Huang She, Huo Liuge, and Chai Yun sat on both sides of Li Hu. Their eyes were attracted by the thick lines on the map, because the thick lines crossed the Taihang Mountains and pointed directly at Xijing.
Did the general manager change his strategy and want to fight Xijing? The six people looked at each other and could not understand this strategy for a while.
Li Hu didn't say anything, and was still bowing his head to ponder.
After a while, Luo Sinan came. She saw that the rebels were all in the house and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because she was not qualified to participate in such high-level military discussions. She thought she had come too early, so she gave a slight salute to everyone and turned around to leave. Li Hu shouted her, pointed at her side, and signaled her to sit beside her, "This matter is of great importance, come and listen."
Luo Sinan felt a little confused. He didn't know what major decision Li Hu was going to announce, so he sat obediently behind him.
"After we went south, there was a major mistake in strategy." Li Hu said in a shocking way. "We have always stubbornly thought that the Khitans are strong. Even if Yelu Yuji surrendered to the Jurchens with a 100,000 army, we still thought that the Khitans still had the strength to stick to half of the country, so we fantasized about building a three-point pattern in Liaodong, but this strategy was completely wrong, because after the Battle of Budagang, the Khitans were actually no longer able to do it. It was not that the army was not strong, but that the palace tent was completely out of control."
Huang She and Chai Yun were thinking, but Luo Qinghan and others listened intently.
"Let's look back and think about what has happened in the past few years."
The Emperor of the Great Liao led an army of 700,000 to fight against the Jurchens. During this period, Yelu Zhangnu tried to launch a mutiny. Yelu Chun refused to usurp the usurpation and betrayed Yelu Zhangnu and his brother-in-law Xiao Dili. As a result, the Emperor of the Great Liao hurriedly retreated to stabilize the palace tent, resulting in the defeat of the Bubu Dagang.
We always think that Yelu Chun is trying to take into account the overall situation, but if you think about it carefully, it may not be the case. If Yelu Zhangnu and Xiao Dili were not absolutely sure, they would dare to rebel? After Yelu Chun killed Xiao Dili and betrayed Yelu Zhangnu, Yelu Zhangnu once rebelled with more than 200 Khitan nobles. This shows how large the scale of this mutiny was. Since it was sure and the scale was large, why did Yelu Chun refuse to be emperor? The key was to usurpation. It was not just right.
The mutiny failed. According to the principle, Yelu Chun had no way to survive, but he reached the top and became Marshal Du. Why? It is obvious that Yelu Chun used this opportunity to control the Daliao army, seriously attacked the reputation of the Daliao Emperor and destroyed his sacred status in the hearts of the Daliao people. The emperor did not dare to kill him. Later, Yelu Chun was defeated repeatedly, but the emperor did not punish him. This is not something that can be explained by trust, but Yelu Chun had enough strength to threaten the emperor, and the emperor could not move him. Yelu Chen Tunu was the second victim of Yelu Chun's plan to seize the throne. Why did Yelu Chun threaten the emperor to establish an imperial throne? Why was the emperor unwilling to establish an imperial throne? It was very simple. The emperor was worried that Yelu Chun would control the little emperor and then control the authority of the Daliao, preparing for his next step of ascending the throne.
Yelu Yuji was the third victim. Logically, Yelu Yuji was the commander of the Northeast Road. The emperor would not know the consequences of killing Concubine Wen and implicating his relatives, but why did the emperor still kill? Even if Yelu Yuji did not escape, he could still launch a mutiny, which could also give the emperor a fatal blow, but why did the emperor insist on killing Concubine Wen and launching a killing company? It is obvious that Yelu Chun was sure to win the unification of the emperor, and the emperor had to take risks in order to stop him.
These three things are connected together, we can make the following estimate: Yelu Chun is far-sighted and can plan to seize the throne a long time ago. But in order to be justified, in order to quickly stabilize the country's destiny after seizing the throne, he deliberately bought people's hearts to pave the way for himself to ascend to the throne. But today's Emperor of the Great Liao was not an idiot, and he fought wits and courage with Yelu Chun, and repeatedly used the situation to force Yelu Chun to bear the pain of giving up and betray his brothers and friends. As a result, Yelu Chun's affairs went as expected. Not only did the people's hearts not buy them, but instead the hearts of his brothers were disappointed. Yelu Yuk's betrayal was not only a betrayal of the Emperor of the Great Liao, but also a betrayal of Yelu Chun.
The bloody battle between the monarchs and ministers of the Great Liao Dynasty led to repeated defeats in the battles and the country's destiny was on the verge of overturning and was in danger of protection. However, even in this case, the two sides still sacrificed their lives to fight, and no one wanted to use their own heads to save the Great Liao Dynasty.
Therefore, the Great Liao will perish and there is no possibility of saving it again. Even if Yelu Chun becomes the emperor, he will lose the opportunity to save the Great Liao.*
"We have formulated wrong strategies for the situation in Daliao, but now we still have the opportunity to correct and time to reverse the situation."
"Now, we formulate the premise of the survival and development strategy of the Rebel Army as if the Great Liao would perish."
"If the Great Liao is defeated, the Jurchens and the Han people will compete for Liaodong. If the two tigers fight, there will be one injury. At present, our strength cannot compete with the Jurchens. If we compete for Liaodong, we must follow the footsteps of the Khitans and be destroyed. Therefore, our top priority is to seize territory while the Liao and Jin fight to the death, and develop their strength as quickly as possible in order to prepare for the future competition for Liaodong."
"Please look..." Li Hu pointed to the map, "Even if the Khitans lose the Five Capitals, they still have the vast southwest and northwest routes. The Liao army can continue to persist in Yinshan and its northern desert. In order to unify the north, the Jurchens will never give the Khitans any chance to breathe. They will fight westward and drive all the Khitans to kill them."
"The Jurchens need time. During this time, we can seize Yanyun and grab all the territory south of the Great Wall. If we miss this opportunity, we can pack up our things and find a small island on the sea to live in, and make a living as a pirate.*"
"How do we capture Yanyun?" Jing. At this moment, Zhongjing's defense forces are weak. If this plan is used, Zhongjing will lose. Once Zhongjing loses, Yanjing relies on Gubeikou and Songting Pass to block the Jurchens, but it cannot stop them from attacking Xijing, southwest and northwest routes. Therefore, we must help the Khitans defend Zhongjing and drag the Jurchens to Zhongjing.
But the Jurchens are very strong. If they can't capture them for a long time, they will definitely make other plans. Therefore, we must seize Xijing before the Jurchens conquered Zhongjing and take down Xijing Road first. After taking down Xijing Road, we can then attack east and west, and then capture Yanjing, and thus take all Yanyun.
If we take down Yanyun, we cannot be kings, because the Song Dynasty is eyeing it. If we fight with the Song Dynasty, it will be like a waste of time. Therefore, we must abide by the agreement with the Song Dynasty, take Yanyun as a vassal state, and submit to the Song Dynasty. In this way, we will become a barrier between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty.
The barrier is actually the place of four battles, the place of death. If you want to survive, there are only two ways, one is to join the Song Dynasty to attack the Jin Dynasty and develop to the north, and the other is to join the Jin Dynasty to attack the Song Dynasty and develop to the south. Taking the first path is equivalent to our past development strategy, but it will definitely become a victim of the Song Dynasty's seizure of the vassals. Taking the second path may be Shi Jingtang's second. Therefore, I decided to take the first path first, and take the time when the Jurchens were not yet firm in the north, joining the Song people to fight the Jurchens first, and then head south to compete for the Central Plains.
Competing for the Central Plains?
Luo Qinghan and others were stunned and looked at him in horror. Is Li Hu crazy? He wants to compete for the Central Plains? He wants to seize the country's destiny?
Tieying couldn't help it and asked, "Why should we compete for the Central Plains?"
Li Hu sneered and didn't say anything.
In the story of my father, the Jurchens swept across the Central Plains in just a few years and seized half of the Song Dynasty. Why can't they do it themselves? Li Gang said that the Song Dynasty's treasury was heavily in debt and could not fight at all. Wuyan also said that the Song Dynasty's officials were in power, and the army was in name only and could not fight at all. From this Northern Expedition, we can see the capital of the Song Dynasty. The Northern Expedition was related to the future of the Song Dynasty. There were very few civil and military supporters in the court. In order to carry out the Northern Expedition, the emperor had no choice but to order the ministers on his back. As for the army, it was even more unbearable. He actually traveled thousands of miles to transfer troops from the northwest. This shows the strength of the Song army. Wuyan said it right. Apart from the Northwest Army, there was no army to fight. This time, the Northwest Army first went south to fight Fang La, and then went north to fight Youyan. The power consumption was imaginable.
With such a Song Dynasty and such an army, it is not difficult to imagine the consequences of hundreds of thousands of Jurchen troops rushing down. My father’s story must be true. Therefore, I will take this opportunity to seize Yan Yun, first establish the barrier of the Central Plains, and then take advantage of the fact that the Jurchens are not yet firm in their foothold, and go north to attack and eliminate their threat to the Central Plains to the greatest extent. However, it is my turn to go south to the Central Plains and take revenge.
Now, I have no evidence to prove that the Song Dynasty is vulnerable, but I just wait for the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition to appear. Because in my father's story, the Song Dynasty failed and finally bought back Yanjing by money and humiliating alliances. At that time, Luo Qinghan and others would believe their words and knew that if the Liaodong rebel army wanted to survive and develop, the best way was to go south to compete for the Central Plains, destroy the Song Dynasty, and rebuild the Han Dynasty.
