Late at night on June 22, Li Hu arrived in Guihua Prefecture and met Tieying, Li Gang and others.

After a long and two nights, Li Hu was exhausted, but the situation in Yanjing was in danger. Li Hu did not dare to delay too long. While calling Gao Baolong, Abaddon took the horse army to rest in the middle of the night, and urgently discussed countermeasures with Tieying and others.

"I have already negotiated peace with the Jurchens." Li Hu gave a detailed explanation of the current situation in Xijing, the principles of peacekeeping, and his own explanation of the future development of the situation in the northwest.

Zhang Gao'er was very angry when he heard the news of peace talks. His Hell King's Army suffered heavy casualties, ten thousand soldiers survived, two or three, deputy generals and half of them were killed, and half of them were killed when they were about to settle peace talks. Li Hu said with just one word, he put down this matter easily, which was easier than just flipping through a page of a book.\

But Li Hu's explanation was reasonable and Zhang Gao'er could not find a reason to refute it. He could not bear it, and his anger had nowhere to be released. He stood up suddenly, rushed out, and stood in the night sky and let out a sad roar.

Li Hu followed him out and stood silently with him for a long time, "If you think I'm doing something wrong, you can cut me off and exhale me."

"I have always thought that I was a cold-blooded horse thief." Zhang Gao'er looked up at the dark night sky. "Now I know that compared to you, I am still a personal person, I still have feelings, and I am willing to die for my brother."

Li Hu smiled bitterly and speechless. He didn't want to explain that if he had feelings and righteousness, was full of passion and firmly upholding loyalty and justice, he would have died long ago and the rebel army would have been defeated long ago.\

"Whether you become a king and a bandit, whether you are ruthless or have feelings, you have the final say in victory." Li Hu sighed in a low voice, "Now, we are failure, survival is the top priority, and we are not qualified to talk about friendship and feelings."

Zhang Gaoer felt that his heart was very painful, just like a knife cut. This was the first time he had a heartache since he was growing up, and it made him want to cry.

"Can we still take revenge?"

"This revenge will be avenged one day." Li Hu reached out and put his arm around his shoulder and patted him gently. "Revenge is divided into many kinds. Cutting off the opponent's head is the most kind way to destroy the opponent, destroy the other country and family, and make him live worse than death. That is the most cruel way.\Which one would you choose?"

Zhang Gao'er understood, and his eyes slowly showed a fierce murderous aura in his eyes when he stared at the night sky. He knew what revenge was.

Li Hu and Zhang Gao'er returned to the house. Zhang Gao'er had calmed down, just like the past. She sat quietly in the corner, silently.

Tieying, Li Gang, Wang Yao, Liu Zhicheng and others were discussing it all the time. After seeing Li Hu come back, Li Gang immediately asked: "You want to rebuild the covenant, do you want to fight Xixia?"

"This is the best ending of the Xijing War, and it is also the biggest victory for our tens of thousands of soldiers to exchange their blood and lives." Li Hu took a sip of water and said calmly, "Under the current situation, I can only win the time to recover Youyan by dragging the main force of the Jin army to the North of Dai.\Besides this, do we have other ways to prevent the Jin army from going south to Youyan?"

"The Jurchens had great ambitions and would never be satisfied with destroying the great Liao Kingdom. With their rising momentum and increasingly powerful strength, no one could stop them from unifying the north. Once the north is unified, the Civil War will inevitably break out." Li Hu continued, "From a historical perspective, after the unification of the north, the actual sense of unification, it will definitely form a clamp-shaped encirclement on China, and launch an attack from the three routes of east, middle and west at the same time. If China wants to block them, in addition to regaining Yanyun and Daibei, it must reclaim the northwest, so as to establish a thousand-mile defense line that starts from the Yellow River in the west, from Yinshan in the middle, from Taihang in the east, and from Yanshan in the east."

"Heshuo, Heshuo in the northwest, and Youyan in the east, and one of the three places was missing, so it could not stop the northern enemy from going south." Li Hu sighed and looked at Li Gang and asked, "Am I wrong? Am I worried about nothing?"

Li Gang shook his head, then nodded. Li Hu had a far-sighted vision, had a far-reaching vision, and thought deeply. The situation in the north was indeed moving along this trajectory. From this, it can be inferred that it was correct for Li Hu to join the Song Dynasty at the critical moment of the Battle of Xijing. Moreover, his vassal state must rely closely on the Song Dynasty to survive in the north. For a long time in the future, he would still maintain a close relationship with the Song Dynasty. But the problem is that once Li Hu joined forces with the Song Dynasty to fight Xixia, his strength may increase sharply. In other words, the incident of the Dangxiang people splitting the Song Dynasty may have been repeated.

Li Hu had Li Hu's survival strategy, and the Song Dynasty had the idea of ​​the Song Dynasty. The trust base between the two sides was very weak. The current cooperation was based on the needs of common interests and was mutually exploited. Li Hu knew very well. So after he defeated the Jin Kingdom with the help of the power of the Song, Liao and Xia Kingdom, he immediately negotiated peace with the Jurchens and rebuilt the alliance, and in a blink of an eye he betrayed the Liao and Xia Kingdom.\

Li Hu was capricious and despicable. Although his approach was in the need of survival and was purely helpless, it also made the Song Dynasty and Jin Kingdom unable to trust him. The future situation in the north was full of endless variables.

Of course, there is no faith between countries. Alliance is a need for interests, and war is also a need for interests. Whoever has the interests of the loss will of course accuse the profiteering party, insult and slander the profiteering party. In fact, everyone is the same, they are all despicable and shameless people, just a hundred steps of laughing.

Li Gang's purpose is to use the power of Li Hudi to ensure the interests of the Song Dynasty. Now Li Hudi's strategy is very beneficial to the Song Dynasty. He has no choice but to do his best to help Li Hu realize this strategy. Therefore, he is brave and willing to return to Datong quickly, assist his wife in handling military and political affairs, and immediately hold a second negotiation with the Jurchens.\

"After you go back, you will do three main things with your wife, Dong Shuai, Huo Sima, Hu Zhima and Yuwen Sima." Li Hu instructed, "First, continue negotiations with the Jurchens; Second, maintain close contact with Luo Shuai of Bianjing and end the negotiations with Bianjing as soon as possible; Third, immediately formulate a revision plan for military, political and financial aspects, stabilize the states behind Datong and the mountain as soon as possible, and strive to restore vitality in the shortest time and quickly complete the attack preparations for Xixia."

Li Gang recorded it one by one, and then he asked about Yanjing, "When Yelu Chun dies, how do you plan to deal with Yanjing's affairs?"

Li Hu was confident, but he didn't want to say that this involved many secrets, and these secrets could not be known to Da Song.\

"Do you plan to go to Yanjing with your own hands?" Li Gang continued to ask.

Li Hu did have this meaning, but Zong Han warned him not to enter Yanjing. You can interfere, but there is a limit. If Li Hu personally arrives in Yanjing, the nature will completely change, and the Jurchens have to take corresponding countermeasures accordingly. Li Hu is hesitant for this.

"You must not go to Yanjing," Li Gang said seriously, "Now we are negotiating with the Jurchens and Bianjing. Youyan is the key to these two negotiations, which will affect the whole body. Youqian has a special identity. Once you enter Yanjing, it is very likely to cause a series of changes, which will lead to a sudden deterioration of the situation."

Li Hu agreed, "I will stop at Juyongguan."

In the early morning of the 23rd, Li Gang and his entourage left Guihua Prefecture.

Li Hu sent him out of the city. Now Hu Lie Mansion is busy with affairs and has many things to make, but Li Hu cannot go back in a short time, and the negotiations between Luo Qinghan and Huang She in Bianjing cannot be over yet. Hu Lie Mansion is supported by his wife Luo Sinan, Dong Xiaochou, Huo Liuge and Hu Tu. Li Gang can help them when he returns.

Along the way, Li Hu and Li Gang discussed a lot of things, basically formulated general principles, and then talked about fighting Xixia.\

"The prime minister has a good idea, but if you want to fight Xixia, the prime minister must make Bianjing trust you. If you want to gain the trust of Bianjing, you must make concessions in the power of the vassal states, otherwise this matter may be difficult to succeed."

Of course, Li Hu would not make any concessions in the matter of the feudal states. "I heard from the Zhe family that the families in the northwest towns all hoped that the Song Dynasty would attack the Western Xia and recover the western border."

"The Prime Minister, the policy of the border control of the Song Dynasty was to defend the inside and the outside. If the problem of the prime minister's vassal state was not solved, Bian Jing would not easily move the war against the Xia." Li Gang reminded kindly, "The policy of the border control of the Song Dynasty has been implemented for more than 100 years, and it has penetrated into various systems. There is no possibility of modification in the short term. The policy of the prime minister's war against the Xia was to recover the territory, which was exactly the same as this Northern Expedition. Bian Jing fought for ten years for the Northern Expedition. From this, it can be imagined that if the Song Dynasty launched a western expedition, how long would Bian Jing have to argue? Therefore, don't easily believe the statement of the Zhe family."

"The Zhe family is the most powerful among the Northwest Generals. After you arrived at Yunzhong Road, you had a fierce conflict of interest with the Zhe family. At this moment, the Zhe family proposed to attack Xixia. The purpose of the Zhe family was self-evident, and they wanted to provoke conflicts between you and Bianjing."

Li Hu smiled and briefly explained the matter of the Zhe family and Ji's conclusion of the alliance.

Li Hu hopes that Li Gang will handle this matter personally and be fully responsible. The Zhe family put forward many requirements, which not only concern the Huiyi and Finance and Taxation of Hulie Mansion, but also the relationship between Yunzhong Road and Hedong Road. Once it is not handled well, the matter will become very complicated and will intensify the conflict between officials and businessmen in the two places.

"The Zhe family wants to marry you?" Li Gang was surprised. "How dare the Zhe family threaten you, threaten you with the safety of Datong, and force you to agree to his conditions?"

Li Hu revealed to Li Gang that the Zhe family army secretly went north to help. Since Li Gang was asked to fully handle the Zhe family's affairs, this matter must be said. Moreover, Li Hu wanted to see Li Gang's reaction through this matter. He and Dong Xiaochou had the same view. There must be a secret behind this matter, and this secret must have an extremely close connection with Hulie Mansion.

Li Gang's face changed immediately. He immediately stopped and asked the surrounding entourage to scatter.
