On March 23, Li Hu arrived at Xuande City, Dezhou Zhifu.,

This city is located on the southeastern foot of Jinhe Mountain, with its back against the Daihai Sea. The mountains are steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. Last year, when the rebels went north to hunt down the Khitans, they occupied the city. However, Li Hu had limited troops at that time, and Datong had just obtained the situation and was unstable, so they ordered to give up and deploy the army on the front line of Khahukou and Zhenchuan Fort to ensure the safety of Datong.

The rebel army gave up Dezhou, and the main force of the Liao army was in Yunzhong and did not send troops to Dezhou again. This time, because Yelu Ma Ge had no time to withdraw from Yunzhong, he had to run to Dezhou to last as long as possible. Fortunately, Liao and Han formed an alliance, and Dezhou immediately became a battlefield for both sides to fight against the Jurchens.

Accompanied by Yelu Dashi, Li Hu met with Yelu Mage, Yelu Bude, Yelu Foding, Yelu Deguang and other Liao generals, and the two sides discussed specific attack strategies.

At present, the rebel army is deploying the formation on the Yinmahe line in the south of the battlefield. Yelu Mage's palace tent army is located on the west side of the battlefield, on the line in the Shenliang of the Wealth and Licorice Hudong, while Yelu Foding and Yelu Deguang's army are located on the northwest of the battlefield, on the line in Shiyaowan and Sanchakou.

The Jin army leaned on Danan Mountain on the left and Baishuiluo on the right, and arranged the formation at the Xiushui Kiln and Erdaoliang on the line.

On a battlefield with a radius of less than 100 miles, the three parties gathered about 400,000 troops. The rebels stationed in Baibao and the Jin army stationed in Xiushui Kiln were only thirty miles apart, and the war was about to begin.

Judging from the entire battlefield layout, the rebel army was responsible for blocking the Jin army's southward to Datong, while the Liao army was responsible for blocking the Jin army's westward advance to Yunzhong. The current problem is, if the Jin army launches an attack, where is its main attack direction? Should it go south or westward? This question is very important. It is related to the deployment of troops and attacks and arrangements of the Liao and Han armies. As long as the Jin army breaks through in either direction, the result will be disastrous. Because the alliance between the Liao and Han sides is temporary, and once the battle situation occurs, it will be beneficial to the changes in the local area. Then, joint attacks may evolve into watching the tiger's fight.

There is a gap in strength between the Liao army and the Rebel Army. At least before the desert army arrived at the battlefield, the gap was obvious.

According to common sense, after the war begins, the Jurchens will conduct tentative attacks in two directions. Once the gap in strength between the Liao and Han armies is discovered by the Jurchens, the Jurchens will undoubtedly advance westward to attack.

The Jurchens are here, and they are in a mighty way. Although Li Hu is willing to replace Bei, under the current situation, he does not have the ability. It is great to be able to protect Jiuzhou from the back of the mountain. Because of this, once the Jurchens start to attack Yunzhong, should Li Hu comply with the alliance to attack the Jin army, or should he hide aside and watch the fun, and come out to get a bargain if he has the chance?

This is a problem that the Liao generals were unanimously worried about, so Yelu Ma Ge solemnly warned Li Hu in front of everyone, "Both of you and I are no match for the Jurchens. There is no way out except joining forces. If we are driven to the desert, you will have only a handful of days in Datong."

"Of course I will abide by the agreement." Li Hu smiled and nodded.

That day in Datong, Yelu Mage first forced Xiao Seng Xiao Nu to respect Yelu Chun as the Emperor of the Great Liao, and then everyone agreed to defeat the Jurchens and immediately recover Zhong. After the Zhongjing was recovered, Xijing Road (that is, Daibei) was given to Li Hu, while Daliao occupied Damo (that is, Northwest Road) and Zhongjing and Yanjing Road. In the future, the two sides joined forces to recover Shangjing. So basically, the three-part pattern could be established.

This plan is indeed good. However, Li Hu believed that the Khitans were finished. Now the fact that Yelu Chun became emperor has not spread to the desert, but this matter cannot be hidden for long. Once it spreads, the emperor in Daibei and the foreign tribes in the desert will fight for their own interests and will eventually fall apart.

Li Hu needed Daibei, but he had too many opponents and could not occupy Daibei with his own strength, so he formed a alliance with the Xixia people. He tried to use the power of the Xixia people to defeat the Jurchens and finally divided Daibei equally with the Xixia people. This is the most ideal method at present. As for whether it can succeed, it is unknown, but Li Hu still has a way out. If it really doesn't work, he will go to the Song Dynasty and survive first.

"Can you believe the Tiger King's promise?" Yelu Foding narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Hu and asked.

He had no confidence, no trace of confidence. The Jurchens were too powerful, so powerful that they killed the Khitans and ran away with nowhere to hide. They were so powerful that they drove Li Hu from Liaoxi to Daibei, so powerful that they turned two life-and-death enemies into allies. As for the current situation, both Liao and Han sides were at a loss, especially the Han people, who were now under the attack of the Jurchens and were in danger. There was no chance of winning in this battle, but they were just a dying struggle, just giving the Jurchens a chance to massacre.

Li Hu looked at Yelu Foding and said with a smile: "We have fought twice, but you fled without fighting twice, especially during the Pingzhou War, you run faster. This time it is related to our life and death. Please slow down your pace a little, magnify your courage, and don't run so fast, okay?"

Yelu Fo sneered, "The Jurchens are attacking Fengshengzhou. The people of Xixia are eyeing you. Once you see an opportunity, you must attack Shuozhou. In this way, you will be attacked from all sides. If the Jurchens break into the clouds, you will be safe from Datong for the time being, will you still follow the Jin army to Yinshan?"

The answer is undoubtedly no. Li Hu will never follow the Jurchens to Yinshan in any case. The generals of the Liao army looked at Li Hu, hoping to hear a positive answer from him, even if it was a lie, at least it could give people comfort.

"If the Jurchens break into the clouds, we will all be done, but I die a little later than you." Li Hu smiled, "So, don't be suspicious of each other anymore. We must win this battle, we can only win but not lose. Only by winning can we survive and have a future."

Li Hu made a confession passionately and solemnly swore to work together to fight against the Jin Dynasty. At this time, the march staff came to report, and a team of scouts rescued Xiao Fengxian from the Jin army.

This sentence immediately made Yelu Mage, Yelu Foding and others sweat in a cold sweat. Xiao Fengxian knew too much, including the alliance between Liao and Han, the alliance between Liao and Xia, the secrets of the palace tent, the mobilization of Liao army forces, etc. He knew that if he told all these things to the Jin army, he would have been a big fucking battle.

Yelu Mage and Yelu Foding made excuses to leave the government office. The two arrived at the place where Xiao Fengxian was detained. Yelu Mage was furious and opened his mouth to curse.

"I did not surrender to the Jurchens." Xiao Fengxian looked weak and felt ashamed. He told the story again, "I heard Yelu Yujiu say that several of my confidants revealed everything they knew."

"So, the Jurchens know that we are allied with Li Hu?" Yelu Foding asked in surprise, "They also know that the army on the Northwest Road is about to arrive at the battlefield?"

Xiao Fengxian nodded weakly, "Yu Ji said that Wanyan Gao had already ordered to dispatch troops from Zhongjing to Beijing. It is estimated that in half a month, Wanyan Yu will lead reinforcements to Daibei."

Yelu Mage and Yelu Fo were numb and speechless. The Jin soldiers were numerous and their morale was like rainbows. The Liao-Han coalition forces were not only at a disadvantage, but also distrust each other. It is obvious that the outcome of this battle is not considered.

Yelu Buddha looked desperate and looked down without saying a word. When he was desperate, he had to follow Yelu Yu to see this path, otherwise he would have to die in the desert to feed the wolf.

Yelu Ma Ge pondered for a long time, turned around and walked out. The march staff followed a few steps and asked in a low voice: "King, what should I do with this person?"

"Kill." Yelu Mage said, "Tell your men not to make a statement, this matter must be kept confidential."

Yelu Foding caught up with Ma Ge, "This matter cannot be told to Li Hu. Li Hu and the Jurchens have been in alliance for several years, and he also married Wanyan Agudadi's daughter. Their relationship is extraordinary. If Li Hu doesn't see the hope of victory, he is very likely to surrender to the Jurchens."

Yelu Ma Ge stopped and turned to look at the Buddha's head, "We have fought with Li Hu for so many years. What kind of person is he? Do you don't know at all?"

Yelu Foding didn’t know what Ma Ge means.

"Li Hu is a Han Chinese, and his subordinates are also Han Chinese. Their goal is to kill the enemy and restore the Han Dynasty and establish his own great Han country in Liaodong. Don't you know this?" Yelu Ma Ge asked, "Why did he break through Longhua and go south? Why did he kill from western Liaoning to Daibei? You don't know this?"

Yelu Foding frowned and wanted to speak but stopped. He knew that the Han people in Liaodong had endured more than two hundred years of humiliation and finally had the opportunity to turn over. Of course, they would not give up easily. However, in this world, the strong prey of the weak, whoever has the strong fist is the boss. Whether it is the Han people in Liaodong or the noble Khitans, they are now surrendering to the Jurchens, working hard for the Jurchens, and charging for the Jurchens. Yelu Yukyu is an example, it is not difficult to imagine, but when Li Hu is desperate, he may also surrender to the Jurchens.

"Even if Li Hu's dream of establishing a country and becoming king in Daibei was shattered, he would not surrender to the Jurchens." Yelu Mage said, "He came to Daibei to find a way out for himself. If it really doesn't work, he would lead his army to the Song Dynasty."

Yelu Foding disagreed. Li Hu married Wanyan Aguda's daughter, and of course the benefits he gained from surrendering to the Jurchens.

"How many Han people follow Li Hu? There are hundreds of thousands. The biggest dream of these people following Li Hu is to return to the Heavenly Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. When Li Hu returns south with hundreds of thousands of people, he is the hero of the Song Dynasty. He will gain a noble reputation because of this, and the fame and benefit brought by this is even more unimaginable." Ma Ge asked Foding, "When today, is the wealthy Song Dynasty or the Jurchens rich? As far as Li Hu is concerned, is it better to be a Jurchen dog or a hero in the Song Dynasty?"
