Zong Wang received a letter from Zong Han on Qingpi Road. He learned that the Killing Hukou was defeated and the main force of the Jin army was retreating Yuanyanglu, and then led his army to evacuate quickly. The room continued to attack Fengshengzhou, and the troops forced Juyongguan. Baishuilu army gathered, with a force of up to 200,000 and strong morale. The generals of each army asked for battle, demanding to run to Yuanyanglu, and fight again with the Jin army to drive the Jin army out of Daibei.
In June of the fourth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty (1122 AD), Dong Xiaochou, Mao Jun, Yuan Ye and others discussed the attack strategy.
Yuanye carefully explained the current situation.
The Jin army retreated to Yuanyanglu, and one of its main forces was attacking Fengshengzhou. The Jin army's intention was very clear, to capture Fengshengzhou, the troops entered Juyongguan, seize the initiative of the entire northern battlefield, and continue to fight in Daibei.\
Yuanye said that the method of destroying the Jin army was very simple. The coalition forces continued to advance and formed a decisive battle with the Jin army in Yuanyanglu. The Jin army had insufficient troops and had to withdraw from Fengshengzhou. Considering the lack of morale and insufficient food and weapons, the Jurchens had to evacuate from Daibei in the end.
Yuanye solicited opinions from the three parties of Song, Liao and Xia. Should we continue the coalition war? Yelu Mage immediately made a request that it is okay to continue the war, but the Song and Liao must rebuild the alliance, and the two countries are still brotherly countries. The Song Dynasty helped the Liao regain Zhongjing, go to Jing and Tokyo, and destroy the Jin Kingdom of the Jurchens, and the Liao returned Youyan to the Song Dynasty.
Li Liangfu then made a request that the Song and Xia countries rebuild the Shaanxi border. The Song Dynasty at least had to return Tiandu Mountain and Hengshan Mountain to Xixia.\
The Song Dynasty could not agree to the request of these two people. They clearly told Li Hu that I would not do it anymore, and I would not fight this battle.
This battle is indeed impossible, and if it continues, Liao and Xia will make wedding clothes for others.
The result of the Battle of the Tiger's Mouth is obvious. The Jin army ran to Daibei for three months and lost more than 100,000 troops. Now it is facing a long rainy season, and the food and weapons are seriously insufficient. What else can we do besides retreating? The purpose of the Liaoxia coalition has been achieved, so there is no need to fight again.
In this battle of Xijing, Li Hu suffered a very shocking loss. He must have wanted to fight and drove the Jin army out of Daibei. But if he fought again, his losses would be greater. Even if he drove the Jin army out of Daibei, he would probably be unable to defend Xijing. So he also wanted to use the three armies of Song, Liao and Xia to fight the Jurchens, just like a battle of killing the tiger. The losses were all from others, and the results were all from him.
This kind of cheap thing can be done once, but it won’t work the second time. There are not so many fools in the world, so Liaoxia is unwilling to help in this last battle. If you want to fight, Li Hu will fight by himself. The greater the loss of Li Hu, the more beneficial it will be to the Liaoxia coalition, and they can get the opportunity to attack Xijing.
In fact, when killing Hukou, Yelu Ma Ge, Li Liangfu and Li Hu had an agreement that after the war, the Western Xia army immediately threatened the prefectures and prefectures, forcing the Song army to quickly return to Hedong. Everyone disbanded, and there was no problem of fighting a second battle. After the War of Killing Hukou, the reason why the Liaoxia coalition followed the Jin army and chased after Baishuilu was mainly to obtain more spoils and regain the losses in the war.\
Yuwen Xuzhong and Liu scoffed at the request of the Liao and Xia armies and ignored them.
Their goal of helping Li Hu defend Datong has been achieved. Although the Jin army was attacking Fengshengzhou, the Jin army was defeated by the great loss of energy. As long as Li Hu approached Yuanyanglu or returned to Datong, the Jin army would inevitably withdraw its troops. Now there is no need for the Liaoxia coalition, you can get out with the spoils. You get out, the Hedong army can quickly return to Taiyuan, so as not to let the Xixia people take advantage of loopholes and invade the border of the Song Dynasty.
The attitude of the people of the Song Dynasty directly led to the military discussion becoming a disbanding discussion and a discussion of sharing the spoils.\
Li Hu has nothing to say. He has already helped you fight a war, which has solved your urgent needs. He has no credit and hard work. Now that he is not fighting and leaving, what else can you do? Of course, it is time to get together and part.
Li Hu was also very happy. If you don’t fight, you won’t fight. Everyone will drink, chat, sleep, and divide the spoils into pieces. When the rain stops, where do you come from? I will lead the army to drive the Jin army out of Daibei.
In the next few days, the three sides were busy dividing the spoils, and the Liao and Xia armies even sent the spoils back to Yun in the rain.
Li Hu also gave the Zhe family a batch of generous spoils, including pensions to the fallen soldiers.
Zhe Kezhi and Zhe Ketong were worried about the safety of the prefecture and asked to return as soon as possible.\Li Hu agreed and wrote a letter to Zhe Keqiu. One was to thank the Zhe family for their help, the second was to ask the Zhe family to send someone to Datong as soon as possible to discuss matters such as Huiyi, and the third was to propose marriage requests to the Zhe family. Since Zhe Keqiu expressed his wish to marry, Li Hu must take the initiative. The fourth was to ask the Zhe family to send the family members of Liangshan Army as soon as possible. Since your Zhe family has become a good person, then you will do a good person to the end. I will never forget the favor of the Zhe family.
Li Hu invited Song Jiang, Wu Yong and Lu Junyi to the tent of the army and asked them to send some people to the prefecture with the Zhe family army to bring their families back to the prefecture.
"I've been too busy lately and I can't take care of you. Please understand more." Li Hu actually always wanted to invite Liangshan people to have a drink together, so that I could get to know Wu Song, ** and other groups of Liangshan heroes, and be friends with them.\I admired them since I was a child. Although I knew that these people were very different from the heroes in "Water Margin", the feeling of admiration was developed since childhood and was deeply rooted. If you like them, you like them, and there is no reason. Song Jiang and others were very grateful when they heard this, and they admired and feared Li Hu. Of course, admiration was understandable, and fear was because of the battle of killing tigers. This was the first time they had seen such a large war of war, such a bloody and cruel war. Compared to their bandits, the largest battle was only a scale of ten thousand people, which was incomparable to this battle.
Along the way, they walked with the Thunder Army and heard the generals of the Thunder Army say that the rebels from the Mountain Alliance to today, fighting wars of this scale almost every year, and the rebel soldiers have long been accustomed to it.\ From this, we can infer that Li Hu is powerful, this man is not a human, but a terrifying god.
Song Jiang was the first to have some ideas about joining Li Hu, and even planned to make a comeback with the help of Li Hu's power, but after the battle, he was scared and realized that he underestimated Li Hu. Li Hu's strength was not comparable to that of him, and joining him might be a mistake. If Li Hu was a tiger, then he could only be considered a little wolf cub at best, and he could only be a prey.
"If you have any requirements, say it, I will try to satisfy you." Li Hu smiled and said sincerely, "I am too busy, and I will definitely not have time to sit and chat with you like now." Seeing Song Jiang and others hesitate, Li Hu comforted again, "If you have anything, say it.\Brother Lu and I, Brother Lin, are both senior brothers, we are all family, and you can say whatever you want."
Song Jiang, Wu Yong and Lu Junyi exchanged their eyes and plucked up the courage and said, "The Liangshan Army has fought everywhere in recent years, and has suffered heavy damage twice and has lost all its troops. We want to rebuild the Liangshan Army and recruit troops to expand our troops."
Li Hu thought for a while and said, "In this battle, the main battlefield is not killing Hukou, but Zhenchuan Fort. My main force almost all fought with the Jin army continuously on the front line of Zhenchuan Fort, and suffered huge losses. After the war, I will reorganize the army and replenish the troops. I can meet your requirements, but I can only give you two generals at most. The situation in the future will be better, the territory is larger, the population is larger, and the financial resources are stronger. When the army is expanded, I will expand the organization for you. What do you think?"
Song Jiang and the other two were worried about giving Li Hu a bite. Now they heard that they could not only rebuild the Liangshan Army, but also give two generals a 5,000-strong organization. They were overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly.\
"But I have a request, too." Li Hu said, "You have many capable people and many powerful players. Can you transfer a few to me?"
When Song Jiang heard this, his expression suddenly became stiff. The backbone of the Liangshan Army was these brothers, especially Lu Junyi, Lin Chong and others, who used to be officers of the Song army, and the entire Liangshan Army was supported by them. If Li Hu transferred them all, wouldn’t his strength be greatly damaged? What should I do in the future?
"Brother Lu and Brother Lin are both my senior brothers. They were both commanders of the Song army back then. Now I need manpower in urgent need, so of course I have to use them. Do you think?" Li Hu deliberately made the word "reusing" very important, which is very meaningful, "Shishou, you won't be reluctant to let it go, right?" Song Jun laughed, his expression immediately returned to normal, and he agreed repeatedly.
"I want only one now." Li Hu struck while the iron was hot and immediately said, "I want Yan Qing."
Song Jiang, Wu Yong and Lu Junyi looked at each other, puzzled and wondered why Li Hu wanted Yan Qing.
"Can I ask the reason?" Song Jiang asked cautiously.
"My people are negotiating in Bianjing." Li Hu did not hide it, and directly explained the reason. "I need someone to search for information from the court in Bianjing to help me make correct countermeasures in a timely manner."
Song Jiang and the other two suddenly realized that Li Hu was a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. The conflict between Li Hu and the Song Dynasty would become more and more intense as Yan Yun recovered. Li Hu did need a Song Dynasty man and a Song Dynasty man with a foundation in Bianjing to obtain confidential information from the court for him, and Yan Qing was obviously the most suitable person.
That night, Yan Qing, accompanied by Lu Junyi, paid a visit to Li Hu. Li Hu told him some things, and then asked him to hurry to go to Hulie Mansion to discuss the matter with Zhu Xia, who was in charge of the secrets in the army. This matter should be discussed for a long time, take root in Bian Jing, weave a large net, and become the clever eye of Hulie Mansion.
