The situation is dangerous. Li Hu must make decisions in the shortest time and must fight a path in desperate situations.

As for the current situation, Li Hu must take into account both the Daibei and Youyan battlefields. But this will inevitably lose sight of the other side. So while taking into account both, there must be another key point. This is undoubtedly the Daibei battlefield. The Jurchens transferred the main army into Daibei. Their intention to unify the North is already very clear. Therefore, from the perspective of the Jurchens, Daibei is far more important than Youyan.

The focus of the debate between Dong Xiaochou and Luo Qinghan and others was how big the Jin army might be. In the situation where the situation in the Daibei War did not show obvious disadvantages to the Jin army. Will they risk fighting at the same time as the Song Dynasty on both battlefields? Although the Song army failed in the first Northern Expedition, the victory or defeat on the battlefield is often accidental. The final victory or defeat of the war still depends on the national strength of the kingdom. In terms of national strength, the Song Dynasty is the best in the world. The Jin Kingdom now cannot compete with it. From this point of view, support Xiao Gan and support the Liao Dynasty. Let the Khitans restrain the Song army on the Youyan battlefield, thus concentrating their efforts to take over the North and unify the North first. This is more in line with the interests of the Jin Kingdom.

If the Jurchens had no intention of going south to Yanjing for the time being and did not want to go to full war with the Song Dynasty, then the rebel army could first fight with the Jin army in Daibei on the basis of stabilizing Yanjing. Only in this way could the rebel army find an opportunity to capture Yanjing.

This is a gambling. Let’s not talk about whether the rebels can defeat the Jin army on the Daibei battlefield. Just take the Youyan battlefield. If the rebels guess is wrong, the Jin army goes south to seize Yanjing. Then the rebels will be finished.

Yuwen Xuzhong also gave up his previous proposal at this time. The failure of the Song army in the Northern Expedition was as expected by him. However, Yanjing was in chaos but unexpectedly he was as expected. At this moment, Yan Yun could fall into the hands of the Jurchens at any time. The only way was to counterattack, tear up the alliance with the Jin Kingdom, and actively attack the Jin army. Firmly restrain the main force of the Jin army on the Daibei battlefield.

"The chaos in Yanjing is mainly due to a power struggle." Yuwen Xuzhong said. "Whether it is Empress Xiao or Xiao Gan and Li Chuwen, he will never give Youyan to others before he is desperate. Now they have defeated the Song army. The morale is greatly boosted, and they will not let the Jurchens go south. The reason for asking for help from the envoys is this. In addition, I think Empress Xiao and Yelu Dashi have asked for help from the envoys one after another. There is another more important purpose."

"What's the purpose?" Li Hu asked.

"The news came soon after the Song Dynasty. Empress Xiao did not come to accuse the envoy of his treason. On the contrary, she continued to admit the alliance between the envoy and Yelu Chun and asked the envoy for help. This shows that she did not change her strategy to deal with the current crisis. She was still trying to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty and join forces with the Song Dynasty to fight against the Jin Dynasty." Yuwen Xuzhong said. "If the previous peace talks failed, the reason was that the Liao Dynasty had no strength and was vulnerable. But after winning this battle, the Khitans used victory to tell the Song Dynasty that they still had the strength. They were qualified to bargain with the Song Dynasty."

Li Hu, Luo Qinghan and others' eyes lit up, and their thoughts suddenly opened. Yuwen Xuzhong has been opposing the Northern Expedition and advocated the alliance with Liao and Jin. Until now, he is still looking for opportunities to alliance with Liao and Jin in a complex situation. At this moment, he suddenly mentioned alliance with Liao and Jin, which just gave Li Hu and others a new idea.

Yes. The way to reverse the current severe crisis is to unite Liao to resist Jin. As long as the Khitans and the Song people negotiate peace, the Jurchens would not have the chance to go south to Yanjing.

Yuwen Xuzhong continued: "How did the Song Dynasty consider this matter now? This battle was defeated. Morale was sluggish and morale was dispersed. Even if it wanted to attack again, it would take time to mobilize more troops and supplies. But the situation in Yanyun was very critical. The Song Dynasty had no time to launch a second attack. So, in order to win the time to recover Youyan, it would definitely agree to peace talks."

"After the news of the failure of Bianjing's attack, a countermeasure will be made immediately. They knew that the Jurchens were eyeing Yanyun. Now Datong is in danger. If Yanjing falls into the hands of the Jurchens, Datong will not be able to be saved. Both Yanyun will be lost. The Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty will be completely defeated. Therefore, Bianjing will also think of peace talks. Use peace talks to stabilize the Khitans and use peace talks to prevent the Jin army from moving south."

"But this battle was initiated by the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty took the initiative to destroy the alliance and wanted to destroy the Khitans. This made the Khitans very angry. When the Khitans won this battle, the Han and Fan officials argued again for peace talks. The Khitan war faction led by Xiao Gan finally couldn't help it. Xiao Gan was about to break out. But the real problem is that the Khitans could not save Youyan with their own strength. If the Daliao Kingdom wanted to continue, they had to choose one to be the backer between the Dasong and the Dajin."

"Before the Khitans won this battle, no matter who they surrendered to, they would eventually be defeated. Now that they won, the situation will change. If they surrender to the Jin Kingdom, they will still be destined to be defeated. But the agreement will be different from the Song Dynasty."

"The Song Dynasty was defeated. The Song Dynasty wanted to regain Youyan again. But in the short term it was powerless to attack again. The Jin army was eyeing it and could go south at any time. Therefore, the Song Dynasty had no choice but to agree to the conditions of the Khitans. The two sides joined forces to fight against the Jin Dynasty. However, this peace talk was temporary. After all, the strength of the Liao Dynasty was limited. It was also in the four battles. In order to ensure the barrier of the Central Plains, the Song Dynasty still had to tear up the alliance and attack again."

"How did the Great Liao ensure the continuation of the country's destiny? It's very simple. It's an alliance with the enemy."

"Empress Xiao is very smart and has a good vision. After you joined the Song Dynasty, she did not say anything. She continued to maintain the alliance. The purpose was to make the prime minister a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. To some extent, it was more like a vassal state. The Liao Dynasty negotiated peace with the Song Dynasty and was also a vassal state. The two vassal states occupied Youyan and Yunshuo respectively, and firmly controlled the northern gate of the Song Dynasty. In order to ensure the security of the northern border, the last solution of the Song Dynasty was not to attack. Because attacks were civil strife, it would give the northern captains an opportunity to take advantage of it. So it could only temporarily recognize this fact and take Yan Yun back when the opportunity was right."

"The Prime Minister, Empress Xiao and Song join forces to resist the fierce Jurchens. Especially under the current situation, this strategy is beneficial to all parties. It has all benefits but no harm."

Li Hu, Dong Xiaochou, Luo Qinghan and others nodded repeatedly and agreed with Yuwen Xuzhong's statement. They admired him very much. Although this person was very persistent, this persistence saved the rebel army. Now Li Hu was in a much easier mood. It was no longer dark in front of him. Yuwen Xuzhong finally helped the rebel army find a solution to the crisis at the most critical moment.

"What do we do now?" Li Hu asked.

"Can Liao and Song Dynasty negotiate peace? Now we can only rely on ministers." Yuwen Xuzhong said. "Empress Xiao saw this very clearly. That's why she sent someone to ask for help from you."

Li Hu didn't understand. Relying on me? What can I do? I still feel that I am not able to protect myself now. How can I do other things?

"The Song Dynasty tore up a hundred-year alliance. The Song Dynasty broke the peace situation for a hundred years. But the Song Dynasty was defeated on the battlefield again. If peace talks about peace talks, what are the faces of the officials and the leaders and the leaders in the court? Once peace talks about peace talks, the leaders will be attacked first. The ministers of the leaders and leaders will take this opportunity to attack them and drive them out of the court. The court will fall into chaos." Yuwen Xuzhong sighed.

If the officials followed the advice and joined forces with Liao and Jin, how could the situation today occur? The wishes of the officials should not be criticized. The officials' plan for the Northern Expedition was also correct. The mistake was that the timing was inappropriate. If they joined forces with Liao and Jin, they divided the north into two. Did the Song Dynasty have no chance to retake Yanyun? But joining Jin to destroy Liao is tantamount to driving tigers and swallowing wolves. This is wrong. The facts proved to be wrong. How should this history be written in the future? The strategy is right. But the timing and the person who chose to execute were wrong. History will record this error and put the blame on the officials and the ministers in the war.

"The officials are unwilling to bear the responsibility for failure. The ministers of the war-first party are even more unwilling to lose their authority. Therefore, they want to negotiate peace, but they cannot negotiate peace."

"At this time, one person needs to come forward. This person gives the officials and the ministers of the war-first war. This person comes forward to mediate and preside over the peace talks between Song and Liao. Although the Song Dynasty was defeated on the battlefield, the Northern Expedition strategy was successfully realized. Defeating the battle does not necessarily mean that the strategy has also failed. Therefore, the peace talks between Song and Liao will inevitably succeed." Yuwen Xuzhong pointed to Li Hu. "This person is to make you the minister."

Li Hu and others suddenly realized that Gao. It was really Gao. The situation in Youyan was under Yuwen Xuzhong's planning. The dawn of peace had already been seen.

"The minister came forward to mediate. The purpose is to retain the face of the Song Dynasty. Now, both Bianjing and Yanjing are urgently needed to form an alliance to resist the Jin Kingdom. Therefore, the peace talks between Song and Liao must be successful. This mediation is equivalent to bringing Yanyun into one. The minister can use Yanyun's security to threaten Bianjing. Let Bianjing give you military and material assistance, and then win a decisive victory on the battlefield of Daibei." Li Hu smiled and nodded. Yuwen Xuzhong was indeed amazing. He circled the boss and finally went back.

Ensure the safety of Youyan based on the alliance with Liao and anti-Jin. Then the Song Dynasty could go north to fight from Yunshuo and get Daibei. Daibei. To the west, you could attack the Dangxiang people with Shaanxi. To the east, you could attack the Jin Kingdom with Khitans. In time, the Song Dynasty could achieve unification of China and foreign countries, rebuild the territory of the Han and Tang dynasties, and rebuild the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties.

A good plan is definitely a good plan. At this moment, the strategy of joining Liao to fight against Jin is far-sighted. The Song Dynasty is the real winner.

Li Hu suddenly had a suspicion. The Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty failed. The failure was inexplicable. The failure was incredible. Is this a conspiracy? Is it a trap set by the Lords and Sects of Bian Jing. Finally, the officials were forced to accept the strategy of alliance with Liao and resisting Jin. Then the Lords and Sects of the Lords and Sects of the Lords and Sects of the Jin Dynasty were at the top and seized power?

"Is this a conspiracy?" Li Hu couldn't help asking. "Tong Guan defeated. Has Bian Jing's Northern Expedition strategy changed because of this?"

Yuwen Xuzhong shook his head. "This is not a conspiracy. It is the result we have foreseeed for a long time. The master and ministers of Bianjing had already been prepared. If nothing unexpected happens, Bianjing has become a mess at this moment. The call for peace talks must be very high. At this time, if the prime minister threatens the officials with Yun Shuo's safety and asks the court to discuss peace talks with the Liao Dynasty, then this matter will be done."
