Yelu Ma Ge's face looked ugly, let alone Li Liangfu. The expression on his face told Li Hu that he had no confidence in this battle...

The Jurchens gave up Yunnei, which was something that no one expected. The most important reason why Yelu Ma Ge and Cha Ge dared to join forces to send troops to Xijing to participate in the war was that they all believed that the Daxia army could firmly hold the Yunnei Jin army.

The Jin army in Yunnei has more than 100,000 people. Even if Wanyan Gao draws some of them to the Xijing battlefield, Yunnei will leave enough troops to fight against the Liao army and the Xia army. The Xijing War will not solve the problem in the short term. Once the Jin and Han armies fight hard, the Liao army on the desert and the Xia army on the west bank of the Yellow River will inevitably take the opportunity to launch an attack, so the Jin army will fall into the dilemma of fighting on both sides. Therefore, from common sense, the Jin army should be stationed in Yunnei to maintain a threat to the Liao and Xia armies. Even if the two fronts are fighting, they must ensure the safety of the Jin army's flanks on the Xijing battlefield. Who knew that the Jurchens did not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, and they decisively gave up Yunnei and transferred all their troops to the Xijing battlefield. This not only avoided the dilemma of falling into the two-line battle, but also caused the Liao and Xia armies to form a mutual restraint and could not rush to the Xijing battlefield in the short term.

The Emperor of Liao was beaten by the Jin army and fled to Jiashan. The Liao army lost all its strength. The basis of the Liaoxia alliance had changed. At this time, the Jin army suddenly withdrew from Yunnei. Even if the Xia army abides by the alliance and does not move, the Emperor of Liao would be afraid and worried that the Xia country would take advantage of the situation and give him a fatal blow. Therefore, the Liao army did not dare to move, let alone join the war in Xijing. The Xia army did not dare to move, so as to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings. Liao and Xia restrained each other and stared at the battlefield in Xijing. Waiting for the result.

The Jurchens were very clever in this move. Although they were lucky enough to win Yunnei, they had the initiative in the battle in the North. If Yelu Ma Ge had not been determined to join the war in Xijing and pulled the Xia army to the harsh tiger's mouth early, under the current situation, it would be difficult for the Liao and Xia coalition forces to gain mutual trust and join forces to enter the battlefield in Xijing.

During the War of Xijing, occupying Yunnei and abandoning Yunnei, these two different decisions caused two completely different situations. The Jurchens thus destroyed the three alliances, but the three alliances fell into a passive position.

"Do you still have reinforcements?" asked Yelu Ma Ge. He looked dazed when he asked this. Obviously he was thinking about something else in his mind, but he just asked casually.

"I still have reinforcements." Li Hu was calm and confident, "The Emperor of the Song Dynasty has decided to send troops to support him. 50,000 imperial guards in Hedong are gathering in Ningwu Pass. In a few days, they will arrive at the battlefield of Killinghukou."

Yelu Ma Ge and Li Liangfu were stunned for a moment. A hint of joy appeared in their eyes, but then their expressions changed, becoming elusive. The look was very complicated no matter how you looked at it.

"When did this happen? Why didn't you tell us before?" Yelu Mage's tone was cold and a little angry.

Li Hu hurriedly explained, "The day before yesterday, Tong Guan's special envoy Liu arrived in Datong. This news was brought by him. It was Tong Guan's order to send troops to support Datong. I only knew about this the day before yesterday. I was like you before, and I knew nothing about it."

Yelu Ma Ge and Li Liangfu didn't believe it at all. Li Hu defected to the Song Dynasty. This could be explained as a helpless move. The purpose was to cheat some assistance and reduce an enemy at the same time. But Li Hu accepted the support of the Song army. This was a premeditated place. The Song Dynasty was attacking Youyan. The Song Dynasty had an alliance with the Jin Kingdom. At this time, the Song Dynasty would never risk the two-line battle field and easily decided to send troops to support. On the 16th, the Jin army began to attack Datong. This was considered as the Jurchens who took the initiative to destroy the alliance. But on the 18th, Li Hu said that the Song army gathered at Ningwu Pass and wanted to support north. How could this be possible? There was only one explanation. Li Hu and Bian Jing had already agreed on the conditions. The Song army had already gathered at Ningwu Pass and was waiting for the Jurchens to destroy the alliance.

What conditions did Li Hu and Bian Jing meet? It was not worth mentioning that the title of kings and Jianfans was ambition to regain their hometowns. The Chinese people accumulated more than 100 years of land strength for this. They made plans before moving. Therefore, the goal of the Song people in the Song Dynasty was not just to recover Yanyun. Instead, expand their territory to the north. In other words, after the battle of Xijing, the Song Dynasty would fight against Daibei. Later, the Song Dynasty would fight against Liaodong. They would take all the wealth of the northern tribes and their land and their land.

Where is Li Hu? Li Hu is willing to be a dog in the Song Dynasty and work hard for the people of the Song Dynasty. It is obviously impossible. Li Hu's purpose is obviously to use the power of the Song Dynasty to sweep the entire north and become the hero of the northern world.

Yelu Ma Ge and Li Liangfu felt that they had been deceived. They were completely deceived by Li Hu. But it doesn’t matter. Li Hu had Li Hu’s tricks. The Khitans and Dangxiang people also had their own tricks.

As for the current situation, the most urgent task is to defeat the Jurchens. Because the Jurchens were fighting Daibei, seriously threatening the survival of the Liao, Xia and Han areas. The Song Dynasty was still attacking Youyan. In addition, there was no actual control of Li Hu. The Song Dynasty did not threaten the survival of the Liao, Xia and Han areas for the time being. On the contrary, in order to successfully capture Daibei in the future, the Song Dynasty had to support Li Hu to ensure that the Liao, Xia and Han areas had three parts of Daibei. In this way, the Song Dynasty had the opportunity to defeat each one.

After defeating the Jurchens with the support of the Song Dynasty, Li Hu's strength was greatly lost. At this time, Liao and Xia joined forces to fight Li Hu. The Khitans only waited for the desert to be pacified and there would be troops. The main force of the Xia army was on the west bank of the Yellow River. After this battle, he took advantage of the main force of the Song army's army being still fighting Youyan land and immediately attacked Xijing.

The three alliances were originally a temporary measure for the three families to save themselves. After defeating the Jurchens, the three families would immediately turn against each other. The three families knew this in their hearts, so Li Hu lied to them. Although they were a little angry, they didn't care, because it was not that they would not revenge. Before the time came, they would also lied to Li Hu.

Yelu Ma Ge and Li Liangfu reluctantly accepted Li Hu's explanation, and Li Hu was not afraid of them leaving. At this time, the three companies would be profitable to join forces, and the three companies turned against each other, which would lead to their own demise.

"Even if the Song Dynasty sent 50,000 reinforcements, we only had 130,000 people on the battlefield of Killing Hukou. This force would be difficult even if we defeated the Jin army." Li Liangfu talked about the real problem. He pointed to the map and said, "Killing Hukou is only about two hundred miles away from Zhenchuan Fort, and Pu family slaves are here to stand. The reinforcements from Zhenchuan Fort will arrive within two days, and we will be surrounded at that time."

"The terrain of the land of Killing Hukou is indeed good, which is not conducive to the battle of the horse army, but if you want to encircle and annihilate the Jin army here, you need at least two to three times the strength." Yelu Mage smiled bitterly, "Pu Jianu's army is an elite division of the Jin army, and encircle and annihilate him may not be enough to encircle and annihilate him."

"Then what strategy do you have to defeat the enemy?" Li Hu asked.

"Let the Pu family slaves attack the pass first and drag him here. At the same time, the main force of the Jin army attacked Zhenchuan Fort. They had more than 200,000, and you had more than 100,000. Both sides fought to consume. After a few days, the Jin army suffered a great loss. Even if they received a request for help from the Pu family slave, they would not support them in time. Because your losses were also very large, the Jin army could capture Zhenchuan Fort at any time and directly kill Datong. After surrounding Datong, Kill Hukou immediately fell into the dilemma of being attacked by both sides. The pass defenders must withdraw, so the Pu family slaves would be in danger. Therefore, the two sides weighed, Wanyan Gao would make the Pu family slaves grit their teeth and insist on killing Hukou, and the main force attacked Zhenchuan Fort as the best strategy."

Li Hu smiled but said nothing. Yelu Ma Ge wanted to use the Jin army to consume the Han army and weaken his own strength to the greatest extent.

"I think this method is good." Li Liangfu said. After the Song army arrived, we and the Song army attacked at the same time, divided the Jin army into two, and used the main force to encircle and annihilate the Jin army on the gate of the gate of the gate of the gate of the gate of the gate of the gate of the gate of the gate of the gate of the gate of the gate, and blocked the rescue of the Pu family slaves. After we resolved the Jin army, we would join forces to fight the Pu family slaves. The Pu family slaves would inevitably retreat towards Zhenchuan Fort. We then pursued and killed Zhenchuan Fort. At this moment, the Jin army should be about the same strength as our coalition forces. The Jin army had to retreat and had no other choice. In this way, the Xijing War could win a complete victory."

Li Hu adopted this suggestion. He had no hope for the Liao army. The combat effectiveness of the Xia army must be higher than that of the Liao army, but the Xia army must preserve its strength, and only 20,000 resentful troops can be used on his own, so after all, he could not attack rashly, so as not to be unable to encircle and annihilate them, but was beaten to the Jin army and ran away with his head in his arms.

Now he can only count on the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty, but when he thinks of Tong Guan, Zhong Shidao's 100,000 army was defeated by 30,000 Liao troops, he feels suffocated. If this Hedong army is also vulnerable, this battle will be defeated. What will I use to turn the tide?

He ordered Wanyan Talan and Wanyan's mother to lead Meng'an Mouke to form an array outside the pass in case of accidents. This place is very close to the Yellow River and Yun Nei. If the Khitans and Dangxiang people came over without knowing each other and blocked the entire army in the pass in the pass, it would be troublesome.

Silver Skill commands the infantry to attack Guancheng. This infantry army is about 50,000, commanded by Han people Huo Shi, Yang Xunqing, Bohai people Gao Congyou, Khitan people Yelu Li Jianu and Xi people Xiao Elishi.

Huo Shi and Yang Xunqing used to be local officials from Northeast Road and commanders of the Liao army, and were familiar with the art of defending the city. Since they could defend the city, they would naturally attack the city. So after a night of discussion, the Jin army formulated a set of siege strategies and launched an attack at the morning hour.

The first general of the resentful army, Bai Zhu, the third general Lu Yong, and Fu Xiuguo, the deputy commander and first general of the Yisheng Army, led his army to defend the pass and fought fiercely with the Jin army.

Zong Han personally directed Yelu Foding, Yelu Nuge, Liu Hong and other troops to launch a frontal attack on Zhenchuan Fort.

At the same time, Zong Wang led his army to attack Xiaolangzhai on the left wing of Zhenchuan Fort, and Zong Pan led his army to attack Dongtougou. The left and right wings of the Han army were simultaneously attacked by the Jin army, and the situation became increasingly critical. Xinzhou and Ninghua Army's rural soldiers arrived at Ningwu Pass one after another.

These people were dressed in a simple manner, and most of them had a pair of straw sandals on their feet. The only thing that proved their identity was the vest embroidered with the number of the village army. These farmers came with their own swords, guns, axes and sticks, and carried bows and arrows. They knew what it meant to participate in the war, but they came without hesitation, without complaints or fear. Everyone was full of heroism and everyone was willing to die to defend their country. There were old people with white hair, young men who were not as good as those of the weak, and three generations of family. These people rushed from the mountains and fields. In the morning, dusk, and midnight, they could see their tired and tall figures walking into Ningwu Pass.

At dusk, Zhang Xiaochun stood on the city tower and looked at an old man in the city stuffing the only half of the cake into his grandson's hand. Then when the grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other and walked into the pass, his tears finally couldn't help but flow.
