The Xixia army stopped its attack and retreated to the Yellow River again.

When the Great Song Dynasty battle flag was raised in the Bietou Village, Cha Ge immediately ordered a truce and retreated across the board.

When Li Gang came to discuss peace, he did not believe Li Gang, but saw that the troops in the Bietouzhai did not change the battle flag. In addition, the detailed works hidden in Datong and the Khitans did not believe that Li Hu had defected to the Song Dynasty. Cha Ge knew that Li Hu, a bandit who started from the rebellion, was greedy, and would never be willing to kneel down at the feet of others without reaching a dead end. From this, he judged that Li Hu was just looking for a way out for retreat. This is likely to be a very small number of people who knew about this, because once Li Hu raised the flag and posted a list to inform the states behind the mountain, the price for him to repent would be too high. At that time, what he lost was not only a way out, but also his credit. His prestige would be hit, and his status in the minds of the Han people and the army would also be reduced. For Li Hu, if he wanted to develop, credit and prestige were very important, which was the basis for him to roam Liaodong.

Since Li Hu did not really defect to the Song Dynasty, Cha Ge certainly dared to fight, so he made the decision to attack Shuozhou again without reporting to the emperor. But now Li Hu was forced to go to the fore, raised the battle flag of the Song Dynasty, and announced to the world that he had surrendered to the Song Dynasty and publicly surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and that Cha Ge could not fight any more.

Brother Cha was worried about being trapped, so he observed outside the village for a few more days, then rushed to Kyoto, and led his army to retreat across the Yellow River.

The envoy of the Song Dynasty who went to the Western Xia military camp was Cao Si, the rebel general, and the military officer, who joined Tian Meng. He was extremely angry at the Xixia people's rebellion and attacked Shuozhou again. With the power of the Song Dynasty, he pretended to be powerful and scolded Brother Cha. Brother Cha was not angry either. He was too lazy to argue with such people, so he laughed it off and did not make any excuses at all. It seemed that he would beat me. What can you do to me?

Of course, Tian Meng could not do anything to him. His main purpose was to form an alliance. Although Li Gang had already drawn up an alliance with Cha Ge last time, the Jin army had not yet reached the foot of Datong City and did not fall into panic behind the mountain. The situation was not as bad as it is now. If the rebels want to get out of the predicament, they not only had to stop the Xixia people from taking advantage of the situation, but also had to become allies with the Xixia people to fight against the Jurchens together. Therefore, Tian Meng then deliberately exaggerated the strength of the Jurchens, so that Cha Ge felt the threat of the Jurchens to the Great Xia Kingdom.

Of course, it is too early to talk about joining forces to attack together. Besides, as the Song Dynasty, we cannot surrender to the nobles. Taking the initiative to join forces with Daxia to fight against the Jurchens, it will reveal that Li Hu cannot get direct assistance to the Song Dynasty at present. Once the ambitions of the Dangxiang people are aroused again, the two sides will start war again, so the alliance between the three families will be done by the Khitans, and the Khitans ask for help from the Song Dynasty, but they will join forces to attack the Jurchens.

Although the war in Bitouzhai was in a standstill, Zhang Guanyu did not dare to report to the General's Mansion casually, worried that the Dangxiang people would go back on their word and attack again. It was not until Chage led his army to retreat across the Yellow River that Zhang Guanyu urgently reported to Datong.

This news made Li Hu breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time a sense of pride surged from his heart. He was a native of the Song Dynasty. He was very deeply in love with the Song Dynasty. Of course, he was happy to see that the Song Dynasty had such a powerful force towards the Northern Barbarians. However, when he thought of his dead family and his missing father, his anger rushed out and he gritted his teeth for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and Cai Jing. You are afraid of raising a tiger, so I just became a tiger. Now I am in a sturdy manner. I will endure it. When I am full, I will see how I kill you to avenge you. You two will live longer for me, don’t die too early, but it doesn’t matter if I die too early. You all have descendants, Zhao Laoer still has a country, and I will get back with my capital and profit at that time.

At this time, Wanyan Xingxing returned from Weizhou.

The states behind the mountain were soaring because of the skyrocketing food prices. Rumors were flying everywhere. The people were very panicked. At this moment, Luo Sinan alone was alone in Datong to comfort the people. For this reason, she invited Wanyan Xingxing and Yelu Mingyue out. She asked them to wear ordinary lichen clothes and take entourages. One to Fengshengzhou and the other to Weizhou. She herself rushed to Shuo and Ying two states. While urging local government offices at all levels to try to stabilize prices, visit rural towns and comfort the people. At this time, stability is the top priority. If there is a tide of escape, it will inevitably aggravate the crisis behind the mountain.

Wanyan Xingxing and Yelu Mingyue were born noble and grew up in special environments. They were very familiar with the things in the palace tent. Under the influence of the eyes and mind, their vision and mood were naturally different. However, because they were young and not very familiar with the world, compared with Luo Sinan, where they grew up in war, there was still a big gap in some aspects. As they married Li Hu, they were strongly dissatisfied with their respective royal families and helplessly lamented for their respective miserable fates. As Li Hu struggled bloodily in the world, they also grew up in pain, matured, and slowly succumbed to the arrangement of fate, and began to understand the true meaning of survival.

Li Hu's fate has reached a turning point. This is directly related to the future of the three of them. Luo Sinan and Li Hu have always shared life and death. Luo Sinan not only has to fight for Li Hu and himself, but also for the children in his stomach. Wanyan Xingxing and Yelu Mingyue also have their own goals. At this point, they have to face the cruel reality. Their knowledge and experience are enough to help them weigh the pros and cons and find a path to survive in adversity.

Wanyan Xingxing knew that she married Li Hu. It was purely a transaction. This transaction brought far more value to the Jurchens than her own. Now she has no value. Whether it is the Jurchens or Li Hu, she no longer needs her. Even if she has a smart mind and a beautiful face, but without value, there is no value. A woman without value is no difference from a livestock. Wanyan Xingxing is very painful for this and is suffering for her own miserable fate.

Li Hu and the Jurchens turned against each other. Li Hu fought bloody battles with his father, brother and uncle. This is actually not the real reason for Wanyan Xingxing's sadness. For a child who grew up in a tribe, she is used to killing each other. Father and son, brother and brother, and different tribes of the same tribe. This is the most common thing in Baishan and Black Water. Since fate pushes Li Hu and his father, brother and uncle on this road, he can only accept. The winner is the king. Whoever wins is the king. Although casualties on either side are enough to make people heart-wrenching. But this is life. The law of the strong and the strong.

People cannot always live in pain. For a smart person, there is always a way to get rid of pain and live strong. Wanyan Xingxing walked from Liaodong to Liaoxi, from Liaoxi to Daibei. She couldn't find a way to get rid of pain. At this moment, she walked out of Datong. Wandering among the blue sky and green spaces. Walking in the green fields. Seeing the poor, simple, hardworking but happy and contented people. She suddenly realized that the world turned out to be very, very big. She was like a frog in the well. Seeing the earth was just the sky in Liaodong. Now, she saw the entire sky. It was boundless, vast and profound. It was like her future life.

Li Hu hadn't seen Wanyan Xingxing for a long time, and he didn't want to see her, but this time it didn't work. Wanyan Xingxing went out to patrol to help him. In addition, in the letter, Luo Sinan repeatedly begged him to give Wanyan Xingxing a little, so Li Hu hesitated for a long time and went to the inner palace. He suddenly found that Wanyan Xingxing had changed, and his eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, and the sadness in his eyes disappeared. Wanyan Xingxing, who was shocked at the time, seemed to come back magically.

Li Hu stayed that night, and both of them were crazy. Li Hu had a feeling that he felt sleeping on a soft grass, with stars flashing in the dark night sky, warm and quiet, very safe. He fled since childhood, lived in fear all the time, dreaming of sleeping in a safe place, safety has long become the greatest luxury in his life. He hugged Wanyan Xingxing tightly, just like holding a childhood dream.

"You have changed." Li Hu kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear, "You are now like what I saw at the beginning."

Wanyan Xingxing smiled without saying a word, and her face was filled with happiness.

"Why did you suddenly change?"

"I suddenly understand why I am alive." Wanyan Xingxing hugged Li Hu, his little face pressed against Li Hu's chest, and said softly.

"Why are you alive?" Li Hu asked curiously.

"For you." Wanyan Xingxing's eyes suddenly became hazy like the night sky, "Just for you." A teardrop quietly rolled out from the corner of her eyes.

Li Hu looked at the woman in his arms, his heart trembled slightly, and a trace of sweetness slowly flowed into his heart. Wanyan Xingxing finally untied his heart knot and got rid of the pain. She is alive for my son, who am I alive for? For the revenge? For the cause of kings and dominance? To follow my subordinates? For those people who are eager to go home? They have already returned home, but where is my home?

Yelu Mingyue also came back. She was still so melancholy and liked to cry, but she became strong. Li Hu could feel this. What surprised him was that she did not go home directly from Juyongguan. Luo Sinan asked her to inspect Fengshengzhou, but in fact she intended to make a choice. If you miss home too much, then go back and take a look. But she didn't seem to be a princess, and she was wandering outside the pass for a long time, but she gave up and returned to Datong.

Juyongguan is very close to Yanjing, and she wrote several letters with her mother. In these letters by Empress Xiao, she was full of despair, both about Yelu Chun's illness, the reign of the Great Liao Kingdom, and even about Yanjing. In the last letter, she wrote a very vague passage, as if she wanted to seek help from Li Hu, but due to the situation and Li Hu's situation, she could not predict the future and did not express this meaning, which seemed very contradictory and desperate.
