On May 21st, kill the tiger's mouth...

From Datong, Li Gang came back, but Li Gang said that the Hedong reinforcements could not be assembled for a long time. It is estimated that the time for the north to rush to aid will be delayed. As for which day, no one knows it. In fact, the Hulie Mansion in Datong and Li Hu who killed the tiger's mouth both knew that they were just waiting to meet Zhe Kecun's requirements, and the Hedong reinforcements will soon arrive at the battlefield.

At present, only waiting.

On this day, fierce battles in Killing Hukou were still there, but the attack rhythm of the Jin army was significantly slowed down. The battles on the front line of Zhenchuan Fort also continued. The Jin army fought continuously, showing a state of fatigue. Whether it was the front battlefield or the two wing battlefields, the attack seemed weak and powerless.

On the 22nd, the soldiers of both sides continued to fight, but the battle was in a stalemate.

At dusk, the scout suddenly reported to Li Hu that the Jin army outside the pass showed signs of evacuation. Li Hu immediately realized that the Pu family slaves were going to divide their troops and wanted to transfer the main force back to the battlefield of Zhenchuan Fort. Li Hu made a quick decision and immediately reported to Yelu Ma Ge and Li Liangfu, and immediately launched an attack on the Jin army and attacked overnight to prevent the main force of the Jin army from evacuating and killing the tiger's mouth.

An hour later, just as Wanyan Talan was about to quietly leave the camp outside the pass under the cover of night, the scout Pegasus urgently reported that he discovered the Xia army in Baidaoban. The Dangxiang people crossed the Yellow River without knowing it and killed the flanks of the Jin army.

Wanyan Yu was shocked. While asking the scout to probe again, he ordered Wanyan Talan to give up evacuation immediately and the entire army was ready to fight.\\*\\\

At the beginning of the night at the beginning of the Hai Dynasty, Hu Jiayong and Geng Shouzhong each led two generals to take the lead in breaking out of the pass and attracting the attention of the Jin army from the front.

At the second hour of the Hai Dynasty, the Xia army Li Yancheng's troops rushed from Baidaoban approached the flank of the Jin army and commanded a team of selecting horses to launch a tentative attack on the Jin army camp.

Wanyan Yu was not afraid of the Han army in the Pass. What he was worried about was the Xixia people. Chage held 100,000 troops on the west bank of the Yellow River. If all of these 100,000 troops crossed the river and came, the Jin army would be in danger in this battle. Because Wanyan Gao had already drawn a main force from the Zhenchuan Fort battlefield to move to Yehuling. If he was defeated at the time of killing Hukou, the Xixia people would kill Zhenchuan Fort directly. The Jin army had to retreat, and the strategy of attacking Xijing failed.

The scouts made continuous returns. No main army of Xixia was found. So far, only this Xixia horse with thousands of people had been found.

Could it be Li Hu's suspicious plan? Wanyan Yu began to suspect that this army was not the Xia army. For several days, his scouts had been staring at the Xixia army on the other side of the Yellow River. If Chage led his army across the river, the scouts would not know.

The Jin army guarded the camp closely, allowing the Han army and Xia army to struggle outside the camp. After a long time, Wanyan Talai, Wanyan's mother, Yin Shuke and others couldn't stand it anymore, so they asked for battle and wanted to lead the army to repel the enemy. If they continued to quarrel like this, they would not want to sleep all night. Damn*

Wanyan Yu thought about it and agreed. If the Xia army was fake, it was Li Hu's suspicious plan. Then the main force could continue to rush to Zhenchuan Fort tonight.

Wanyan Talai led thousands of horse troops to run out of the camp and kill the Xia army. Li Yancheng hurriedly retreated. Yin Shuke led his army to kill the Han army. Hu Jiayong and Geng Shouzhong turned around and ran away with their men.

The Jin army pursued each other in two directions.

Suddenly, a large army broke out from Tangzi Mountain and cut off Wanyan Talai's lazi's pursuers in half. Li Liangfu commanded the main force of the Xia army to fight bravely. The Jin army was shocked and retreated quickly.

At the same time, Yin Shuke's army was blocked by Yelu Mage. Yelu Mage led his army out of Dabao Mountain, while Hu Jiayong and Geng Shouzhong commanded the army to turn around and attack. Yin Shuke was calm in the face of danger and commanded the Jin army to form formations and defend, waiting for reinforcements. Soon, Huo Shi and Yelu Li Jianu led reinforcements to fight.

Yelu Ma Ge dared not fall in love with the battle and quickly withdrew to Dabao Mountain. Hu Jiayong and Geng Shouzhong also withdrew to Yalang Pass.

The Jin army suffered a loss in this battle. It is easy to hide from open guns, but it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows. In a short period of time, it was cut and injured by the opponent two or three thousand, but this battle exposed the strength of the opponent. Killing Hukou not only included Li Hu's Han army, but also the Khitan army and the Dangxiang people and the land army. Conservatively estimated that the coalition forces were at least about 50,000 or 60,000. Damn*

Judging from the deployment of the coalition forces, the Khitans and Dangxiang people had arrived long ago and had been ambushed long ago. If it weren't for the large number of Jin soldiers, they would have been unable to eat in one bite, and they would have started attacking long ago.

Wanyan Yu urgently reported to Zhenchuanbao.

Li Hu and the Khitans and Dangxiang people formed an alliance, and the three families joined forces to attack. Judging from the current battlefield situation, the Khitans and Dangxiang people are temporarily still in the mood to watch the tiger fight. Let Li Hu and the Jin army fight to consume first. When both sides fight to the point of losing both sides, the main force of the Liao and Xia coalition will launch a fatal blow.

At this time, the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty were no longer important. The 100,000 Xixia troops on the west bank of the Yellow River were enough for the Jurchens to have a headache.

Wanyan Yu told Wanyan Gao that his main force could not be transferred back to the Zhenchuan Fort battlefield, and he would lead the 80,000 troops to firmly restrain the Liao Xia and Han coalition forces on the front line of killing Hukou. However, it is impossible to predict when Chage's Xia army and Yunnei Liao army will enter the battlefield, so he warned Wanyan Gao and Zonghan that Zong Wang must supervise Zong Wang to capture Fengshengzhou as quickly as possible, otherwise the outcome of this battle would be difficult to say.

That night, Wanyan Yu and the generals discussed carefully and decided to stop attacking the pass and confront the Liao, Xia and Han coalition forces at the pass.^^^^ Now they just need to restrain the enemy. The key to the victory or defeat of the Xijing Battle has been moved from Zhenchuan Fort to Yehu Ridge. As long as the Jin army breaks through Yehu Ridge and captures Fengshengzhou, Li Hu will basically be finished.

Yuanye and Wu Siming, under the escort of one hundred iron guards, arrived in a hurry day and night.

Yuanye and the Iron Guards are both from Liaodong, and it is common for them to ride horses and sprint and stay sleeplessly. Wu Siming is from the Central Plains and grew up in Liangshanpo. He could not hold on to sit on the horse's back and eat, sleep and walk. In order to hurry, Yuanye simply tied Wu Siming to the horse's back and rushed to Ningwu Pass for two days and one night.

Wu Siming was carried into the military tent by two iron guards, and Yuanye had met Zhe Keqiu at this moment and handed over Li Hu's letter.

After reading the letter, Zhe Keqiu looked at Wu Siming with a painful face, and his eyes were puzzled. He couldn't figure it out. Li Hu and Song Jiang could not beat the eight sticks, and the people of Liaodong and Liangshan were separated from each other thousands of miles. How could they have a connection? Li Hu actually asked him to exchange Liangshan people with certain conditions. This was a bit incredible.

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhe Keqiu gave Wu Siming a smile, "You are from the south and you are running for more than 400 miles without sleep. It is really difficult for you. Go down and rest.\\*\\\"

Wu Siming knew that they were going to negotiate, and he finished what he should say. He went out to find a place to sleep before saying it.

In the letter, Li Hu introduced Yuanye's identity. Yuanye is one of the important officials and subordinates of Hulie Mansion, and is in charge of the secrets of the military. He is a confidant subordinate of Lihudi. The matter that both parties want to discuss should not be made public, and even in the Hulie Mansion center cannot be made public. Therefore, Yuanye, the staff officer, is very suitable as a contact person between the two parties.

Yuanye thought a lot on the road, and he had the same feeling as Li Hu. The Zhe family set up a game and dug a pit. If you want to find out the answer to this local mystery, you must know who the Zhe family is. This is the key, otherwise Li Hu would not know how he died if he died.

"The King of Han said in this letter. In order to repay the Zhe family, he was willing to take over Yanjing first to threaten Bianjing to change the northwest strategy." Yuanye said, "But you know, Hanwang is a vassal state, and the relationship between the vassal state and Bianjing is needless to say, you also know. So if Bianjing has no help, it is likely to evolve into a war, and this war is not good for us. It is not good for the Song Dynasty, and it will only give up the Jurchens and Dangxiang people for nothing. So..." Yuanye looked at Zhe Keqiu and said with a smile, "The King of Han hopes to gain your trust."

Zhe Keqiu is thinking. Li Hu’s request is not excessive. His identity is different from the Zhe family, and it affects the whole body. Therefore, since the Zhe family wants to form an alliance with Li Hu and use Li Hu’s strength to achieve their goals, the Zhe family must give Li Hu trust and establish common interests between the two parties before setting up strategies to do things.

"I also hope to get the trust of the King of Han." Zhe Keqiu said with a laugh, "Before both of us have established trust, I don't think the King of Han will seize Yanjing."

Yuanye shook his head, "You may not understand the strength of the Jurchens. If the Jurchens fail on the battlefield in Daibei, if the Song and Jin alliance have been torn down, the Jin army will enter Yanjing as quickly as possible. As for the current situation, does the Song army have time to stop the Jin army from moving south? If the Song army does not have time to stop the Jin army, the King of Han will definitely take action, otherwise Datong will be trapped in two attacks by the Jin army."

Zhe Keqiu laughed, "Since the King of Han has such strength, he still needs reinforcements from the Song Dynasty?"

"We don't need it." Yuan Ye smiled, "Before the Jin army launched an attack, the Han King and Liaoxia had already formed an alliance. Now the prime minister of the Liao Kingdom's Northern Prefecture, Yelu Mage, and the commander of the Heishan Weifu Army of Xia Kingdom, Li Liangfu was killing the tiger's mouth. In addition, the Jin King of Xia Kingdom, Li Chage, was ready to cross the river and advance eastward at any time."

Zhe Keqiu's laughter suddenly disappeared, and the expression on his face seemed surprised and embarrassed.

Yuanye smiled slightly, "I asked the Song army to go north to support it, mainly to deal with the Xia army. After the battle of Datong, the King of Han's Hulie Army was very tired. If he fought with the Liao and Xia coalition again, it would be difficult to support it. Inviting you to Datong is actually to intimidate the Liao and Xia countries."

After pausing for a while, Yuanye continued: "Tong Taishi sent General Liu to Datong with the purpose of asking the King of Han to send troops to Juyongguan and carry out two attacks with him. However, if Taishi Tong wanted to organize the second Northern Expedition, it would take time. Unfortunately, the Jurchens would not give the Song army enough time. If the Jurchens launched a quick attack, the King of Han would have to send troops to Bianjing, and this was an opportunity."

Yuanye stared at Zhe Keqiu and said solemnly, "Zhe Zhizhou, you must not miss the opportunity. If you miss it again, please consider it carefully."

Zhe Keqiudi's expression had returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Since the King of Han has such strong strength, I am afraid that the little land of Daibei will not be able to retain him. China has suffered from the suffering of Shi Jingtang betraying Yan Yun, and the Chinese people have been poisoned by the war. The lessons of the past are from the past, and the Song Dynasty will not be unprepared for the King of Han, so..."

"The Song Dynasty must be guarded against the King of Han, and the King of Han is already the King of Han of the Song Dynasty. The situation in Daibei will soon form a confrontation between the north and the south. If the King of Han wants to leave Daibei, it will be difficult, so the King of Han is very grateful to the Zhe family for this generous gift." Yuan Ye said calmly, "However, the problem now is that the King of Han is willing to trust the Zhe family, and the Zhe family seems to be unwilling to believe the King of Han."
