Liu and Dong Yun took a break, then rushed to the Nanjing Marshal's Mansion to pay homage to Li Hu again.

These two thought that Li Hu finally took Yanjing and occupied Youyan. His strength increased greatly and he would definitely betray him. He would use Yanyun as a vassal state and take the opportunity to ask Bianjing for a price. According to common sense, this is true. Han captives like Li Hu who started with rebellion were greedy and bloody, just like a vicious wolf on the grassland. How could he spit out the meat he had eaten after eating it?

Tong Guan’s biggest worry was this. In that letter, Li Hu directly threatened the Song Dynasty with Pingzhou Road, and a strong arrogance was revealed between the lines. If Li Hu refused to hand over Yanjing and the seven states in front of the mountain, the Song Dynasty would have no choice. From the overall situation, Bian Jing had to surrender to Li Hu and admit that Li Hu’s vassal states were expanded to Yanyun. In this way, the lifeline of the Song Dynasty was controlled by Li Hu, and the disaster of Shi Jingtang might repeat. Although Bian Jing had to plan a solution immediately, the actual failure of the Northern Expedition would lead to the loss of power of the war faction, especially Tong Guan, who was in charge of the Northern Expedition, must bear all the guilt and be driven out of the court by the emperor.

Liu and Dong Yun were uneasy because of this. After seeing Li Hu, they said some unrestrained flattery and thought about how to bring the topic to this.

"The minister's letter is the letter of the Grand Master..." Dong Yun asked tentatively, "The minister's suggestion is the minister's advice..."

"If you change your identity..." Li Hu pointed at Liu and Dong Yun and asked, "Will you agree? You fought two or two incredible defeats, which led to almost failure in the Northern Expedition. Now, I have recovered Yanjing, but you have asked me to give you half of the credit. Is there such a thing in the world? Don't you think you are shameless?"

Old Liu blushed and felt ashamed. Dong Yun was also embarrassed, but he and Tong Guan shared honor and disgrace. Even if they were scolded by Li Hu, they would still get a share of Li Hu's military achievements.

"The Prime Minister and the West Expedition needed these generals of the Northwest Army..."

"All this kind of battle is defeated, do you still expect me to believe they can defeat Xixia?" Li Hu mocked, "At present, the strategy of the Western Expedition needs to be reconsidered. I don't want to be killed by these incompetent people like the Grand Master."

Li Hu's words immediately made Liu and Dong Yun's hearts pick up. It was obvious that Li Hu didn't plan to return Youyan.

"Master..." Liu couldn't help but didn't care about shame, and immediately said, "According to the previous agreement, the Taishi and the Magistrate attacked Yanjing together, and then the Prime Minister returned to Datong..."

"What? Do you think I want to occupy Youyan?" Li Hu laughed and waved his hand hard. "I not only want to hand over Youyan, but also hand over it right away."

Liu and Dong Yun looked at Li Hu in disbelief. They suspected that they had heard it wrong. Is this possible? Is Li Hu's words true or false?

"In order to conquer Yanjing, I mobilized 100,000 troops, which led to a serious shortage of defense forces in Datong." Li Hu continued. "At this moment, Xixia stationed 20,000 troops in Yunnei... Wanyan Yu, Wanyan Zonghan's army was eyeing me in the Yuanyanglu area. My Datong was in danger. If the Jin and Xia armies learned that I led the main force into the Youyan battlefield, they would definitely take advantage of the situation to attack Datong. The Xixia people attacked Datong to occupy Daibei, and the Jurchens were to force me to transfer troops back to aid to capture Pingzhou Road. So, you will return to Xiongzhou immediately. Ask the Taishi to lead the army north within ten days and enter Yanjing." Li Hu said solemnly. "I am going to withdraw my troops. And I will withdraw soon."

Liu and Dong Yun were overjoyed. But this shocking joy lasted only for a moment. Then they were beaten away by the news that Li Hu immediately withdrew from the troops.

The Song army went north to Yanjing within ten days? This was impossible. It was not just because of the serious lack of military supplies. The army was still scared and had no morale. It was because the problem of Pingzhou roads and land was not solved. Tanzhou and Jingzhou were still in the hands of the Liao army. They still had to fight. If Pingzhou roads and roads were not solved, the Jin army would come in; if Tanzhou and Jingzhou were not solved, the Liao army would counterattack. However, the Song army did not have combat conditions at present and did not have any combat effectiveness.

Liu and Dong Yun were completely disappointed with the Northern Expedition Army. Under the current circumstances, the Northern Expedition Army could not count on it. It is too dangerous to go north to take over Youyan. If you lose again, Youyan will be lost and recovered. It is really over. So I can only expect Li Hu to recover Youyan first and stabilize. Then the Song army will take over it north.

"You two defeated two battles, but you don't have the chance to lose your merits." Li Hu said, "My army is hurrying to Pingzhou Road. With my understanding of Zhang Jue, I will give him a vassal state and you will get Pingzhou Road immediately. Then you just need to conquer Tanzhou and Jingzhou. I am willing to give it to you."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for ten days?" When Dong Yun said this, his face turned red and he was ashamed, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it. At this moment, he wanted to eat Liu Yanqing and the generals of the Northwest Army and the Northwest Army. I was humiliated here because of the gifts of these Northwest birds.

"Why?" Li Hu's face darkened, and he was immediately unhappy. He asked coldly, "You were defeated without fighting in Liangxiang. Apart from discarding food and supplies, your troops did not suffer much loss. Why can't you go north within ten days? Do you want me to ignore the safety of Datong and put the main army on the battlefield of Youyan to continue fighting for you? Do you think I am an idiot?"

Liu and Dong Yun were disgraced and didn't know how to explain.

Li Hu knew the reason for the great defeat of the Song army in Liangxiang clearly from Xiao Delidi's mouth. Then he told Tong Guan that although Tong Guan felt embarrassed, the war had been defeated, and the most urgent task was to clean up the mess. So he discussed with Dong Yun and Liu a countermeasure to divide Li Hu's achievements. This was originally wishful thinking, but Tong Guan believed that Li Hu needed to gain a foothold in the northwest, to fight the west, and to the Northwest Army, so he was very confident. Unexpectedly, Li Hu refused now, and he had to withdraw from You immediately. It was too serious. Whether Tong Guan or Liu (reprinted from Yanqing or the general of the Northwest Army, he was worried about his career and had no intention of fighting. If he lost Yanjing after going north, he would not return to the Song Dynasty alive, and just die in Baigou. Therefore, the Song army could not go north in the short term, and did not dare to go north.

So now the Song Dynasty is facing an extremely embarrassing situation. It is unwilling to let Li Hu stay in Youyan, and it is also necessary to expect Li Hu to occupy Youyan. Who is Li Hu? Even if he is an idiot, he is unwilling to do such things that only idiots can do.

Liu and Dong Yun were in extreme dilemma. Keep Li Hu. If the situation in Daibei changes. The people of Xixia and Jurchens did not fight against Datong, then Li Hu would have to occupy Youyan. If not, who will guard Yanjing? Who will solve Pingzhou Road and recover Tanzhou and Jingzhou?

"You go back soon." Li Hu didn't want to talk to them anymore. He had expected this situation long ago. All he had to do now was to use the Youyan situation to take the opportunity to knock Tong Guan down, and then influence the Bianjing Dynasty, and ensure the stability of Yanyun and the smooth progress of the Western Expedition.

The biggest purpose of Liu and Dong Yun's trip has been achieved. Li Hu clearly stated that he would withdraw, and there were no conditions. This was just like the defeat of the Northern Expedition. It was incredible.

On the night of the 14th, Gao Baolong and Abaddon arrived in Yanjing with the Bohai Army and the Tiger Lie Second Army.

Li Hu briefly explained the situation of Youyan and asked Gao Baolong and Abaddon to hurry to Yuguan and enter Pingzhou Road. The two of them took the order and led their troops to set off overnight.

Gao Baolong brought letters from Hu Lie Mansion.

Luo Sinan and the central officials congratulated Li Hu on conquering Yanjing. In accordance with Li Hu's order, Hulie Mansion would build a warehouse in Datong to hoard money, weapons and other materials from Yanjing, and at the same time build another military camp in Baideng Mountain to accommodate the rural soldiers in Yanjing.

In view of the severe situation in the northern part of Dai, Hu Lie Mansion has sent people to the prefectures to visit Zhe Keqiu. Now that Li Hu has conquered Yanjing, the purpose of the Zhe family has been achieved, their fate is also controlled by Li Hu. If Li Hu turns against each other and surrenders to the emperor and support Prince Yun to enter the Eastern Palace, the Zhe family will be over. Therefore, the most wise way for the Zhe family is to follow the alliance and do its best to help Hu Lie Mansion defend Datong.

With the support of the Zhe Family Land, the defense forces in Datong increased greatly. But this does not mean that Datong is solid, so Hu Liefu suggested that Li Hu withdraw the main force back to Datong as soon as possible and hand over Yanjing to the Song Dynasty so that the Western Expedition will be launched as soon as possible.

Liu Yanzong and Shi Li Aidi took the initiative to join him. Let Zong Wang know that the situation was very unfavorable to the Jin army. After Li Hu conquered Yanjing, he would immediately run to Pingzhou Road with his main force. Zhang Jue and Li Hudi from Pingzhou Road were of extraordinary relationship. The Jin army may have lost the best opportunity to seize Pingzhou Road. Yuguan. But at this moment, Wu Chitian raised a tiger-stealing flag on the Yuguan Tower. The flag was flying in the wind, which shocked the Jin army.

Zong Wang personally arrived at the gates. He stared at Hu Lie's flag for a long time and shook his head. He really couldn't figure out why the powerful Song army was defeated by the Liao army on the verge of defeat? Why was Li Hu so lucky that he ran in front of the Jin army every time? Is the Jurchens' dream of unifying the north destined to be heavily obstructed by Li Hu, a powerful enemy?

"Although Li Hu got Yan Yun and his strength increased sharply, he was surrounded by strong enemies, especially the Song Dynasty, and would not tolerate Li Hu controlling its lifeline." Liu Yanzong rode his horse close to Zong Wang and said with a smile, "In my opinion, if Li Hu did not give up Youyan, his destruction would be in front of him."

Zong Wang turned to look at him and nodded slightly. Li Hu would not do such stupid things. He would definitely return Yanjing to the Song Dynasty, but the question is, will Li Hu capture Pingzhou Road and return Pingzhou Road to the Song Dynasty?

"If Li Hu wants to give up Yanjing, then he obviously will not attack Pingzhou Road. He will satisfy all Zhang Jue's requirements and use Zhang Jue's power to block the Jin army's entry into the pass." Liu Yanzong continued, "But will the Song Dynasty meet all Zhang Jue's requirements? If Zhang Jue wants to be a vassal king and be a vassal like Li Hu, will the Song Dynasty agree? Even if the Song Dynasty agrees, will the Pingzhou Road be safe and boldly hand over the Pingzhou Road to Zhang Jue? After all, the safety of Pingzhou Road is directly related to the safety of Yanjing, the safety of Hebei and the Central Plains, and so it is also related to the Bian Wei. It is far more important to the Song Dynasty than to Datong."

Zong Wang understood. He admired Liu Yanzong's talent very much. He thought about this and asked, "What suggestions do you have?"

"Recruiting and pleading," said Liu Yanzong, "Send people to Pingzhou Road to give Zhang Jue better pleading conditions."

"Zhang Jue may be willing to vote for Song, but his subordinates may not all be willing to vote for Song." Shi Liai interrupted at this time, "As far as I know, many people hope to vote for the Jin Kingdom. If they can be bribed, they can attack Pingzhou Road with twice the result with half the effort. In my opinion, Li Hu must leave. Once Li Hu leaves, the situation in Youyan will change, and the Song Dynasty will try every means to completely control Pingzhou Road. At this time, the Song Dynasty and Zhang Jue will have fierce conflicts, and our opportunity will come."
