Chapter 76 Three birds with one stone

An error occurred while processing s private files

What does this sentence mean? Did the Song Dynasty know that the Khitans lost Zhongjing? They also inferred from the maritime alliance that the Jurchens were going to attack Xijing?

The Jurchens fought against the desert and attacked Xijing, and their biggest opponents were the rebels. For this reason, the Jurchens might withdraw from Gubeikou and Songting Pass, and at the same time they did not attack Xingzhongfu. They only used a few troops to maintain the threat to the Daling River line, so as to reduce the heavy pressure the Liao people were under, and then let Yelu Chun free up more troops to resist the Song army. Once the Song army's attack was blocked, the rebels would advance eastward to Youyan and join forces with the Song army to attack. In this way, the Xijing was empty, and the grassland and Xijing immediately became the prey of the Jurchens...\\

If the Song Dynasty correctly estimated that the future situation would develop, Ma Kuo and him would probably have to re-discuss the attack strategy. In other words, in order to ensure the safety of the Jiuzhou behind the mountain, the Song Dynasty might have made concessions on the strategy of the feudal states.

The two sides sat down to negotiate again. Ma Kuo took out the emperor's edict.

As Li Hu speculated, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty agreed to Li Hu's request, with a term of five years. In five years, Yunzhonglu will fully implement the Song Dynasty's policies.

However, one thing he was wrong in speculation. The people of the Song Dynasty did not know that the Khitans had lost Zhongjing. The reason for their voluntary concessions was because the Song Dynasty, and even the commanders of the Northern Expedition Army, had huge differences on the issue of the Northern Expedition. The closer the Northern Expedition, the more irreconcilable the contradictions. This contradiction may have a major outbreak after the Northern Expedition begins, and the result of this outbreak may directly lead to the failure of the Northern Expedition. Damn **

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty and the commander of the Northern Expedition Army Tong Guan were worried about this, which was also an important reason why they had not yet determined the date of the attack. So, they had no choice but to make a decision to agree to Li Hu's vassal state requirements. They urged Li Hu to send troops to attack Youyan, and let Li Hu fight first. When Li Hu and the Khitans were both injured, the Song army began to attack again, so they could easily take Youyan without any effort.

There are two uncertain factors in this strategy, and these two uncertain factors are not good for the Song Dynasty. One is that Li Hu conquered Yanjing and took all Yanyun, and the other is that Li Hu suffered heavy losses under the city of Yanjing. In the end, because of his poor strength, the Jurchens stole Xijing.

Li Hu took all the Yan Yun, and his strength increased greatly, and the disaster of the vassal states was just around the corner. Judging from Li Hu's requirements for the vassal states, even if the Song Dynasty did not have the intention to reduce the vassal states, Li Hu had the intention to go south to plunder the Central Plains. The reason for this was that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty did not allow Li Hu to attack Youyan. He had to let the Song army get Youyan and then curb Li Hu's strength development.\\\^^^^ But now the court is not determined to be determined by the Northern Expedition, and the Northern Expedition Army does not have a strong attack. Changing the commander at the last stage is a taboo in military strategists. In this case, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty did not dare to rely on the Northern Expedition Army, and placed his hope on Li Hu. However, he was afraid that Li Hu would take all the Yan Yun and raise the tiger to be a disaster, so he was in a dilemma and worried about gains and losses.

After careful discussion, the prime ministers headed by Tong Guan, Wang Fu and other ministers of the war, told the emperor that they could ask the Jurchens for help. According to the agreement of the maritime alliance, the Song army fought against Xijing, Yanjing, and the Jin army fought Zhongjing, but now Xijing was taken away by Li Hu. The Song Dynasty was afraid that Li Hu would cause trouble in the Central Plains in the future, so it would be better to ask the Jurchens to take advantage of the fierce battle between Li Hu and the Khitans in Yanjing to send troops to plunder his retreat and take down Xijing. After Li Hu captured Xijing, he gave up western Liaoning, with the purpose of replacing the north as the foundation for survival and development.

It is conceivable that Datong is important to Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army. At this time, if Li Hu heard that the Jin army attacked Datong, he would definitely withdraw his troops from Youyan and fight fiercely with the Jurchens. In this way, the Song army could not only take advantage of the Liao army's dying moment, but also use the Jurchens to severely damage or even eliminate Li Hu. If everything goes well, the Song army would have gathered more troops in Hebei.^^^^^The Song army could take the opportunity to advance westward, drive the scarred Jin army out of Datong, and recover Jiuzhou from the mountain.

This plan is good and solves all the problems. It can solve three opponents at one time. It can be said that it is a great plan to kill three birds with one stone and kill three birds with one stone.

Since Li Hu is about to be finished, it is indifferent to agreeing to Li Hu's request for the vassal state. Anyway, he and the Liaodong rebels will soon become victims of the Song Dynasty's regaining their hometown. Before he died and before he was mad at the end, he would give him some sweetness and coax him around. For the Song Dynasty, it would be beneficial but not harmful.

Ma Kuo was shocked when he heard the news and tried his best to persuade him. This plan was purely wishful thinking. Several prime ministers sat at home and imagined it out of thin air. They did not understand the situation in Liaodong at all, nor did they know how powerful Li Hu was. "If they agreed to Li Hu's request for the vassal state, they would definitely not be able to end in the future, and the disaster of the vassal state would come at once."

The emperor and a group of priests were immersed in the dream of regaining their hometown without any effort. How could they listen to it? They even sneered at Ma Kuo's advice, thinking that he was a young boy who knew he was a fool and knew nothing. Last time he asked him to go to Datong to promulgate Li Hu, but he actually took the initiative without authorization and brought the imperial edict back, which was lawless.

The emperor was also very angry and solemnly warned Ma Kuo not to disobey his orders. Ma Kuo was angry. Since you think I was not competent, I would quit. I want to go to the Northern Expedition Army and I want to go to the front line to fight. When the emperor heard this, he became even more angry. You are so terrible. I said you will give up on your shoulders. Do you threaten me? The emperor immediately ordered you to go to Tong Guan’s Xuanfu Envoy to join the military. Since you want to fight and charge for the Song Dynasty, then you can go and don’t go back to Beijing. Before going to the Xuanfu Office, you should go to Datong first. The task is to announce the order, finish the things you didn’t finish last time, and then go to the Northern Expedition Army to fight.

Ma Kuo's anger surged into the world and left Bianjing, but Zhao Liangsi was ordered to go to Huanglong Mansion.

After reading the emperor's handwriting, Li Hu immediately understood the meaning of Yuwen Xu and was furious. Do you think I am an idiot? You plot against me, I still have to plot against you.

"My army is gradually reaching Shimen Pass, Juyong Pass and Zijin Pass." Li Hu agreed immediately, "When will the attack be launched?"

Li Hu agreed very quickly and very readily, which made Ma Guang's scalp numb and secretly frightened. === With his understanding of Li Hu, Li Hu must have seen through the Song Dynasty's strategy. Next, he had to find a way to try his best to resolve the unfavorable things to the rebel army. He would definitely grasp the things that were beneficial to the rebel army, and quickly transform them into the greatest benefit. Officials, how could you listen to Wang Fu's words? They stayed in Bianjing every day and talked about war on paper. What a fuck, the Song Dynasty was your country and your country's destiny. How could you be so bad? You should know that there are no fools in this world, and there are no cheap things that are not good for nothing. If you listen to those bastards, it would be like to cause trouble for yourself. Now the Song Dynasty is about to be in trouble, and the people of the Central Plains are going to suffer again.

"I don't know." Ma Kuo's expression was helpless, and there was a hint of anger in his helplessness. "I won't go back to Bianjing anymore. I will go directly to Hebei and take up a post at Xuanfu Department. This is my last time on behalf of the official family. You will not see me in the future."

Li Hu was stunned and looked at each other with Dong Xiaochou, Luo Qinghan and others, very surprised. For a long time, the connection between the Song Dynasty and the Liaodong rebel army mainly relied on horse expansion, especially at this time, the importance of horse expansion was self-evident. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty drove horse expansion out of Bianjing at this critical moment. This was incredible.

"Why?" Li Hu asked, "Don't your Majesty know the situation in front of you?" Ma Kuo smiled bitterly, "I am from the Northwest Army, I'm going to fight." Then the topic changed and talked about the promulgation, "This time it's different. I not only brought the imperial edict, but also the seal of the King of Han, so you have to accept the title in a formal occasion."

Official acceptance of the title is equivalent to publicly surrendering to the Song Dynasty, and to announce to the world that Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army had defected to the Song Dynasty. From then on, Li Hu would become the vassal king of the Song Dynasty, and the Liaodong Rebel Army would be the army of the Song Dynasty.

Li Hu flatly refused. The reason is very simple. The Liaodong rebel army is very complicated. Some people are willing to defect to the Song Dynasty, while others may not be willing. For example, this time, when withdrawing from western Liaoning, many people refused to follow. As a result, Li Hu suddenly publicly claimed that his surrender to the Song Dynasty would cause great shocks within the rebel army, and even triggered division and civil unrest. Over the years, the rebel army's rebel army's rebel army's rebel army is absolutely confidential, and very few people know it. Although Li Hu once told the rebel generals on important occasions that the rebel army would seek to seek the Song Dynasty in the process of development to gain opportunities to strengthen the land, it was just a strategy to deal with the future. This strategy takes time and appropriate time from implementation to implementation, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.

Ma Kuo stared at Li Hu, furious and wished he could eat him.

Li Hu first asked the Song Dynasty for the status of a vassal state, but now the Song Dynasty gave him the status of a vassal state. He was so good that he didn't even raise the flag of the Song Dynasty. What is this? This is also called seeking the Song Dynasty? Who are you lying? What do you think of our Song Dynasty? Where do you place our Song Dynasty emperor? Based on your current attitude and practice, how do you gain the trust of the Song Dynasty and how do the Song Dynasty believe in your loyalty?

Li Huli ignored him and stretched out his big hand to him, "Give me the imperial edict and seal."

"This is the imperial edict for the title of kings, this is the seal of the King of Han. How can I give it to you casually?" Ma Kuo shouted angrily, "You are so rude and rude, which is an insult to our Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty emperors."

Li Hu sneered and waved to Wang Dazhong behind him. Wang Dazhong understood it and rushed to the inn with the people. If you don’t give it to me, I will rob it clearly.
