Chapter 29: Brother Cha's Decision

An error occurred while processing s private files

Li Hu was completely different from everyone's mood. His heart was filled with gloom. He was full of confidence in the situation in Yanyun.

After a long discussion, the final unanimous decision was made. Luo Qinghan, Chai Yun, Ma Liang and more than a dozen officials and Shishi formed an envoy and rushed to Yanjing immediately.

The Feiyun Army, who was transferred to the Hougui, rushed to Juyongguan. He thought that the defense responsibilities of Yehu Ridge and Taoshan were all handed over to Zhang Gaoer's Yanwang Army. At this moment, Li Hu had no conditions for a decisive battle. The Jin army was also sweeping across Yunnei. There would be no war breaking out in Fengshengzhou for the time being. There should be no problem for the Yanwang Army to station Yehu Ridge alone.

"You can take off your mask." Li Hu pointed at Chai Yun and said. "You should restore your identity. As your identity and your position in Yanjing will be beneficial to us to convince the pro-war faction in Yanjing."

Chai Yun hesitated and said nothing. Yuwen Xuzhong was very surprised. He always thought that Chai Yun was wearing a mask because he was disfigured. It turned out that this was not the case at all.

"His real name is Chai Yun. He is the son of Chai Shiyi, a direct scholar of the Liao Dynasty." Tieying explained to Yuwen Xuzhong in a low voice. "He followed the general commander as early as when Longhua was. He was worried that he would implicate his family. So he always wore a mask."

Yuwen Xuzhong was a little surprised. The Chai family was a literary and Confucian family in Yanjing. Chai Shiyi himself was also very famous among the Liao Confucian scholars. After all, he was the emperor's teacher. Of course, his knowledge was extraordinary. The Chai family and Chai Shiyi himself Yuwen Xuzhong had heard of it. Knowing the weight of this aristocratic family in Yanjing, he immediately advised him. "Making the prime minister's considerations make sense. This trip to Yanjing, the primary task is to establish a good relationship with Zhang Lin and Li Chuwen, the Prime Minister of the Northern Prefecture. They are the backbone of the peace faction. Only when we join forces with them can we control Xiao Gan and Yelu Ning. If you can restore your identity and use the power of the Chai family as your backing, it will be very helpful to us."

Chai Yun slowly took off the mask. It has been four years. This mask and the identity of Qin, Han and Tang have accompanied him for four years. Now it is finally time to say goodbye to them. Chai Yun thought of his parents and brothers, his wife and children. For a moment, he was filled with mixed feelings and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Li Hu reached out and patted Chai Yun on the back. He wanted to comfort him, but he felt that this was hypocritical and closed his mouth again.

"You don't stay in Yanjing for too long. Three or four days are enough." Yuwen Xuzhong said to Luo Qinghan again. "The Feiyun Army rushed to the front line of Juyongguan. It is enough to shock Yanjing. It can ensure the safety of Empress Xiao. At the same time, it is also a threat to Xiao Gan. I believe that he disagreed with the peace agreement under pressure."

"After you reached a peace agreement with Empress Xiao, you immediately took the envoy of the Great Liao Dynasty to Bianjing." Yuwen Xuzhong gave a detailed explanation of what the mission needed to do when he arrived in Bianjing. "Huang She is still in Bianjing. After you meet him, some things can be discussed with him. But some things must be listened to me." Yuwen Xuzhong's expression was very serious. "You must do what I asked you to do. I will write down the details. Luo Shuai packed it up and followed it after he arrived in Bianjing."

Luo Qinghan, Chai Yun and Ma Liang agreed repeatedly. Bian Jing was very unfamiliar to them. It was very difficult to reach peace talks between Song and Liao. The key to this is indeed to follow Yuwen Xuzhong's arrangements. No matter how careless it is.

"We must first pass through the Xuanfu Department when we enter Hebei. If Tong Taishi..." Luo Qinghan knew that Tong Guan was a firm pro-war faction. If he knew the purpose of the mission and deliberately obstructed it, then things would be very troublesome.

"The minister met and wrote to Xuanfusi. Tell Tong Guan about the sudden changes in the situation in Yanyun after the defeat of the Song army." Yuwen Xuzhong looked at Tong Guan with disdain for Tong Guan and called him his name. "Tong Guan was defeated and was in a hurry. He was trying to shirk responsibility. His target was Yanjing. But for the Song army, he was unable to launch a second attack in the short term. If he wanted to ensure that Yanjing was not stolen by the Jurchens, he could only obey the minister and use the minister's force to temporarily protect Yanjing." Speaking of this, he looked worried and said helplessly. "Tong Guan's power in Bianjing is very strong. You may not imagine his power. He drove Cai Jing out of the court under the instructions of the emperor. Now Cai Jing has retired and returned home. Tong Guan has only one hand to cover the sky. If he persuaded the officials to deceive the Khitans with false peace, but secretly prepare for the second Northern Expedition, the development of the matter will be different from what we imagined."

"So what?" Li Hu asked.

"So. After you arrive in Bianjing, your tone should be tougher. You should use the safety of Jiuzhou in the mountains to threaten the officials and the court. Force the officials to issue orders to provide our army and materials assistance. In this way, we can gather enough troops and materials to defeat the Jurchens in the fastest time." Yuwen Xuzhong said. "For us, we must take Daibei. Daibei cannot get it. Jiuzhou in the mountains will have no safety."

Yuwen Xuzhong slapped on the picture of the case. "As long as we firmly control Daibei, don't talk about the situation in Yanyun, the whole world is in our hands."

Li Hu looked at Yuwen Xuzhong and was secretly shocked. Did he see through my thoughts and know that I want to build a kingly and domineering career? Li Shuang, who was anxious to go to Yanjing.

Yuwen Xuzhong carefully drafted a memorial. After reading it, Li Hu signed his name and stamped it with a seal. He sent Yima to send him to Bianjing.

At the same time, Li Hu urgently wrote to Tong Guan. He proposed to join forces with Liao to fight against Jin. He joined forces with the Khitans to resist the Jin Kingdom. He stabilized the situation in Yanyun in the shortest time to ensure that the Song Dynasty could recover its hometown.

The next day, Li Hu, Dong Xiaochou and Tieying discussed carefully, decided to transfer Zhang Guanyu's martial spirit army from Bitouzhai back to Datong. All Shuozhou defenses were handed over to Tuo Shuai Ying Qin.

The Daxia army will not attack Bitouzhai for the time being. The Jin army is in Yunnei. It not only threatens the security of the Daxia Kingdom, but also undermines the Daxia Kingdom's plan to capture Daibei. The Daxia Kingdom's territory is relatively small and barren. If we do not take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to expand the territory, the Daxia Kingdom has no future for development. Sooner or later it will perish. This is related to the continuation of the Daxia Kingdom's destiny and the survival of the Dangxiang people. Therefore, the Daxia people have to fight for it no matter what.

"The people of Xixia were very coveted to Daibei. The Jurchens wanted to unify the north and would not let Daibei go. The conflict of interest between the two was very fierce. There was no possibility of alliance for the time being." Yuwen Xuzhong's tone was very certain. Indeed, the Song Dynasty and Xixia had fought for decades. After all, the people of Xixia wanted to go south and expand their territory to Shaanxi to make their national strength stronger. So it is conceivable. What kind of mentality did the Dangxiang people have for Daibei at this moment? Daibei is a piece of fat. It is related to the future destiny of the Daxia Kingdom. You cannot give up anyway.

"I suggest that four generals will be drawn from Yunshuo's army to Datong to participate in the decisive battle." Yuwen Xuzhong said. "Yunshuo's army has six generals. It is enough to use two generals to guard Bitouzhai. Other troops can be transferred back. There is no need for garrison troops in Ningwu Pass. Behind the mountain is already the territory of the Song Dynasty. Ningwu Pass belongs to Neiguan. It is more than enough to send hundreds of Fang troops to guard it."

Li Hu agreed without hesitation.

This year is a year that concerns the life and death of the rebel army. Although my father's story is becoming a reality step by step, I have my own destiny. Prophecy is a prophecy after all. It is not history. Since I dare to conquer the world and create history, why do I still believe those bullshit prophecies? I don't believe that I can't fight the sky. I have to write history by myself. The team is frequently mobilized. In addition, about 200,000 people rushed to the south bank of Zhenchuan River and built fortifications with great fanfare and made an attacking posture.

Wanyan Gao, Zong Han and Zong Wang personally rushed to the front line to observe. He had a premonition that Li Hu was about to attack. Li Hu's situation is very difficult now. He just had to die and live. He fought desperately.

At the same time, Yelu Nuge received a secret letter from Li Hu, revealing the news that the rebel army was about to launch an attack.

Wanyan Gao hurriedly ordered Wanyan Loushi to quickly return from the Yunnei battlefield. Wanyan Zongbi quietly led the main force to withdraw from Yehuling and rushed to the front line of Yinmahe to stand by. He was ready to enter the Zhenchuan Fort battlefield at any time.

The Liao Dynasty was newly appointed as the Prime Minister of the Northern Prefecture, and the commander of the army, Yelu Mage, crossed the Yellow River. He rushed to the Xia army camp and met with King Li Chage of Jin.

After Yelu Mage returned to the palace tent as he expected, the emperor not only did not blame him, but instead appointed him as the minister of the Privy Council and promoted him to prime minister. The emperor had no one at his hands. And who else was more loyal than Yelu Mage? But after the emperor fled to Jiashan, there was no way out. The rebellion that blocked the Buren had not yet been quelled. He could not go to the desert. What should I do?

"If Your Majesty believes me, please let me lead my army to cross the Yellow River." Yelu Mage's only way is to convince the people of Daxia. The two armies join forces to go to the battlefield of Xijing. "We only have a glimmer of opportunity when we arrive in Xijing. This is the last chance. If we lose it, we will never be able to do it again."

The emperor gritted his teeth and agreed. He gave Yelu Mage twenty thousand people. He himself took 10,000 people to continue to stay in the deep mountains and forests.

After seeing Cha Ge, Yelu Ma Ge made a straightforward sentence and explained his purpose clearly in a few words. "Do you go to Xijing? If you don't go, your lips will be cold. Daxia will definitely be defeated by the Jurchens."

It's very simple. After the Jurchens destroyed the Great Liao Dynasty, who will he fight? Will he fight the Song Dynasty? Of course, he won't fight. The Jurchens still need time to stabilize the northern territory. He needs to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty. What after? The Song Dynasty is too powerful. If he loses, the Jin Kingdom may fall apart. So the Jin Kingdom will choose a weaker opponent. That is the Great Xia. The Jin Kingdom will be considered to be the real unity of the north. When the Jin Kingdom fights the Great Xia, the Song Dynasty will definitely be willing to help. So the Jin Kingdom will achieve twice the result with half the effort and can easily win. What's next? The Northern and Southern Song and Jin confront each other. Both sides can concentrate on fighting against the opponent. When the strength is equal, they will conclude a peaceful alliance. This is much better than the three-legged tripod and restrain each other.

"You and I will join forces. In addition, Li Hu can fight to the death with the Jin army. If you win, drive the Jin army out of Daibei. You can do what you want. I also have the opportunity to turn the world around."

Brother Cha hesitated. Li Hu had already joined the Song Dynasty. If this battle was won, the Song people would definitely seize Daibei. The Liao and Xia coalition might not be able to stop the Song army. This is to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf. If it is not done well, it will be eaten by the tiger.

"Li Hu joined the Song Dynasty?" Yelu Ma Ge sneered. "Do you believe this? Who is Li Hu? Will he join the Song Dynasty? Even if he is willing to join the Song Dynasty, will the Song Dynasty be favored by the people of the Song Dynasty?"

When Brother Cha thought about it, he was also. Li Hu was a rebel and had certain strength. Who dared to take it in? The three families joined forces to defeat the Jurchens. Then the three families divided the North equally. This was also a good choice. Daxia took this opportunity to establish a covenant with Li Hu. When he dealt with the Song Dynasty in the future, he would have an additional helper.

Brother Cha thought about it repeatedly and decided to send troops to help. The Jurchens came in full force and were bound to Daibei. This posture was clearly intended to sweep the world. If the Jurchens were allowed to occupy Daibei, the crisis of the Daxia Kingdom would come to the face. This crisis must be strangled early and avoided endless troubles.
