Chapter 80: Interests First

An error occurred while processing s private files

Going north to fight is an active attack, and defending Datong to take the opportunity to attack is an active defense. The rebel army changed from active attack to active defense, because the money and food required to fight was too high. If the war was delayed again and again, the financial income of several prefectures and counties in Yunshuo was simply unable to support it. In addition, the more serious cases of hundreds of thousands of people should be resettled, fed and worn, grazed for their pastures, farmed for their fields, and even if they were working, there were enough workshops. Therefore, the problem in this area was very serious. The General General's Office must solve it as soon as possible. It would cost money to solve this problem. Therefore, the General General's Office's finances were already in crisis.

Li Hu summoned the commanders of the army and the main officials of the commander-in-chief's office to explain to them the active defensive strategy of defending Datong to take an opportunity to attack. In the final analysis, it is better to trade the best interests at the minimum price. As for the current situation, active defense is much better than active attack. The rebel army can not only save money and food, protect the people of Yunshuo, and expand the territory, but also take into account the Youyan battlefield and help the Song Dynasty guard Hedong Road in exchange for the assistance of the Song Dynasty.

The generals' reaction was very plain. They were already used to Li Hu's behavior and knew that he liked to change his plans at the moment, so they were used to it. In fact, they were more willing to defend actively because they were not familiar with Daibei, and the army was mainly infantry, and insufficient money and food was also well known, so defense was more conducive to the rebel army. The infantry was in charge of the city, and the horse army was waiting for an opportunity to attack, and gave full play to the advantages of the two armies to the extreme. Even if the attack was powerless, they had enough money and food. This was a good way and everyone could accept it.

Li Hu carefully analyzed the current situation, speculated on the development of the situation, and finally solemnly warned everyone that there are too many enemies of the Rebel Army, especially the Dangxiang people and the Jurchens. This is the main opponent of the Rebel Army in the future. We must be highly alert and cautious. With the current strength of the Rebel Army, if we want to replace the North and survive and develop with the replacement of the North as the foundation, it is too difficult. Therefore, the Rebel Army must consider whether to officially join the Song Dynasty.

As early as western Liaoning, Li Hu once said that the ultimate goal of the rebel army was to establish a country and dominate it. For this reason, we must first seek the Song Dynasty, gain time and opportunity for development, and then grow. Then we will go north to conquer a large territory, confront the Song Dynasty, and realize the ideal of killing the enemy and restoring the Han Dynasty. Later, because he knew his own life experience, his idea changed and he wanted to go south to compete for the Central Plains, but only a few people knew this idea. Most generals and officials thought that Li Hu wanted to establish a country and become king in the north, and Daibei was the first step for the rebel army to develop.

At this time, Li Hu proposed to defect to the Song Dynasty. It was both for the sake of reality and for the future of the rebel army, so some generals and officials agreed. However, some people clearly expressed their opposition. Among them, the strongest opposition was the old team of the Dashan League, namely Dong Zhongsun, Zhang Gaoer, Huo Liuge, Dugu Feng, Li Jin, Ying Qin, Wang Yao and others, as well as the generals of the foreign clan, such as Gao Baolong and Abaddon, and there was another person who strongly opposed it, that is, the veteran of the Hu Liechuan League, Feng Juanyun Hougui.

Zhang Gao'er has a good reason to oppose the geographical situation. The current strength of the Rebel Army is very strong. Compared with the Jurchens when they just raised the flag, the strength of the Rebel Army is enough to make Li Hu the king and establish a country. Why don't you claim to be king? Why do you seek refuge in the Song Dynasty and rely on others? The meaning behind this sentence is very obvious. What is the benefit of you seek refuge in the Song Dynasty and I am the founding father. It's nonsense for you to seek refuge in the Song Dynasty.

The thoughts of the foreign generals were similar. Li Hu established the country and became king. They were at least tribal kings, but they defected to the Song Dynasty and had nothing to do. They were killed by the Song Dynasty. If Li Hu really decided to join the Song Dynasty, they would have to consider their future. As a last resort, they had to leave Li Hu and find another place.

Feng Juanyun Hou was very persistent. His goal was to establish the kingdom of the Liaodong Han people. In recent years, he rebelled after Li Hong, Yelu Zhangnu, Gao Yongchang and Li Hu, and once surrendered to the Khitans as officials in the Liao Kingdom, but his goal has not changed. He is determined and his principles are very simple. The Liaodong Han people have to save themselves. If the Liaodong Han people want to win respect and status, they must fight bloody battles with their own strength. It is impossible to rely on the help of others. That is a delusion, so he firmly opposed seeking the Song Dynasty.

So many people expressed their opposition in unison, which was beyond Li Hu's expectations. I remember that as early as western Liaoning, no one opposed it when I proposed this policy. Did they not understand it at that time? Or did they think I was talking nonsense wishfully? Or because I was not strong at the time and the territory was too small, everyone had no confidence, so they did not object?

Li Hu felt a little dizzy. He looked at Huang She and signaled him to elaborate on the situation in detail. He explained it thoroughly, so that these people realized that the current situation was completely different from the situation when the Jurchens were founded. Now the rebel army is still difficult to survive, so how can they have the ability to establish a country and become king? It is a temporary measure to join the Song Dynasty, in order to win time and opportunities for development. This is related to the future of the rebel army, and it is necessary to take a step forward.

Huang She once again explained the world's general trend. He deliberately exaggerated the strength of his opponents. For example, the Song Dynasty had a million troops, with annual tax revenue of over 100 million yuan. His strength was too strong. The Dangxiang people and the Jurchens also had hundreds of thousands of troops, with vast territory as backing. As for the Khitans, they also had a desert and a northwest road army. They could also recruit the slogans, enemy lieutenants and Wugu people army, and the strength to make a comeback. Overall, the rebel army was the weakest and vulnerable. Especially now occupying Datong and becoming four opponents' attack targets. Now the rebel army is like the Qin State in the late Warring States Period. It has become the target of public criticism. At this time, if the rebel army wants to survive, it must be like the Qin State in the past. It has joined forces and crossed the Qin State, and attacked each other.

In other words, it is a temporary solution to join the Song Dynasty. It is for survival and development, to rest and to accumulate energy. When the time is ripe, the little tiger becomes a big tiger. At that time, it can establish a country and become a king.

Huang She finally took the Xixia people as an example and told the history of the Xixia people to these former thieves. "When Li Jiqian defected to the Khitans and received assistance from the Khitans, he regained the territory of the five prefectures. Then his son Li Deming adopted the strategy of relying on Liao and Song and continued to expand the territory. It was not until Li Deming's son Li Yuanhao succeeded to the throne that he established a country and became king. He realized the dream of the Dangxiang people's country. But then the Song and Liao war broke out. If there were no three generations of the Li family's grandparents and grandchildren, could Li Yuanhao defeat the Song army and the Liao army and firmly sit in the throne of the emperor? So, please consider the future of the rebel army and less personal interests. It is just a trivial matter to join the Song Dynasty in this way. It is the only way to ensure that the rebel army will build a country and open a border in the future."

The opponents' voices were a little weaker. But personal interests have always been the first place. From Li Hu to the subway guards standing outside the door, this is the case. When personal interests are seriously damaged, no one can accept it. No one wants to give up their own interests easily.

"This is just a casual discussion. Please don't worry about it." Li Hu didn't want to continue arguing anymore. He immediately ended the topic. "The most urgent task is to defeat the opponent. Replace the North and talk about other local affairs later." Li Chu.)

Throughout the winter, the Emperor of the Great Liao stationed his troops here and summoned reinforcements from the desert.

The reinforcements of the Jiedushi Division in the northern part of Yinshan have arrived. The troops of the Mogeshi tribes, Baidadan tribes, Yishi tribes and other troops of the Desert Fan tribes are gradually reaching Yunzhong. In addition, the Northwest Zhaotai Division, Zubu Dawang Mansion, and Wugu Dili Army Command are heading south, and it is estimated that they will reach the southern part of Yinshan in more than a month.

However, at this moment, King Xi Nilie of Zhao suddenly arrived, and he brought two amazing news, one was that the fall of Zhongjing, and the other was that King Yan secretly formed a thief in Han and wanted to usurpate the emperor.

Zhongjing was lost, and Xijing was taken away by the Han thieves. If Yelu Chun usurped the emperor and split the Great Liao, Yanjing would be gone again. In this way, the Great Liao five capitals were all lost, and only the desert could survive and barely continue the country's fortune.

The Emperor of the Great Liao was furious and scolded loudly, almost going crazy.

The King of Yan usurped the king was long as he expected, but the King of Yan has not ascended the throne and has not officially split the Great Liao yet, and there is still a chance to save it. Especially when Zhongjing, Xijing was lost continuously and Yanjing was surrounded by Han and Jurchens, Yelu Chun might not be willing to be emperor. Yelu Chun was not an idiot, he was very smart and could tolerate it. Now the situation is so bad, usurping usurping the emperor will only accelerate the demise of the Great Liao. He is more clear than anyone else, so he may change his course and give up usurping. Therefore, the Emperor of the Great Liao hurriedly sent someone to carry a handwritten edict to Yanjing with a glimmer of hope.

The Emperor of the Great Liao told the King of Yan in his hand edict that at this time of national destiny, my king and his ministers should work together to overcome difficulties. Judging from the current situation, as long as we take back Xijing and kill the Han thief Li Hu, the Great Liao can still retain Yanyun and Damo, and form an alliance in Xia and compete with Song and Liao. Now the northwest road army is heading south. In a few months, I can gather an army of 100,000 to 150,000 to attack Xijing. Please put the overall situation first, cooperate, and do your best to restrain the Jurchens and Han people, and help me recover Xijing.

Will Yelu Chun take into account the overall situation and counterattack Zhongjing and force Xijing to restrain the Jurchens and Han people?

This question was analyzed by Xiao Fengxian, the prime minister of the Northern Prefecture, and the answer was no.

Yelu Chun is having a hard time now. After losing Zhongjing, he was the Jurchens to the north, the Song people to the south, and the Han thief Li Hu to the west. He was still not enough to protect himself. Where did he get the troops to counterattack Zhongjing and Xijing? Xiao Fengxian believed that Yelu Chun would definitely usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp usurp
