Wang stayed in the palace for a long time, and then fell into a dispute over the imperial throne. He had a fierce power, and had a skeptical attitude in everything. He was very suspicious. He did not listen to the advice of Yuwen Xuzhong, Zhang Xiaochun and others, believing that Yuwen Xuzhong and others deliberately exaggerated the seriousness of the matter. These people were probably all the same as Bian Jing's opponents and wanted to hinder themselves from inheriting the throne.

The army of the Song Dynasty was not only the Northwest Army, but the other army was irresistible? The rebel Song Jiang and Fang La were very powerful enough, but it was quickly put down. What kind of climate can these hungry riots in Hebei become? Wang Si thought about it and wrote back to Bianjing, saying that the western expedition was going smoothly, and the opportunity was very good. He was completely sure to conquer Xingqing Prefecture and drive all the Dangxiang people to Hexi. In this way, within a few years, the Song Dynasty could recover the western border and establish the northern border from Yumen Guandong to Yuguan. He asked the emperor not to take the rebellion in Hebei to heart. How could a group of thieves regret the Song Dynasty?

Then he wrote to Zhe Yanzhi, asking him to reward the soldiers on the front line, and encourage the soldiers to fight bravely and kill the enemy to serve the country. He also wrote a letter to King Li Hu of Han, asking him to give up all his worries and attack with all his might. No matter whether this battle can achieve the expected goals, you will always be the King of Han of the Song Dynasty, and your descendants will always enjoy the glory of the king. This promise is said from him, and it is of extraordinary significance. If he ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, he will fulfill this promise.

Under October, the sea of ​​red willows.

Li Hu received a letter from Prince Yun. From a time perspective, Prince Yun probably had not received his own letter, which shows that Prince Yun had received news of the rebellion in Hebei, and Bianjing also intends to stop the western expedition, but the emperor is still hesitating to consider the imperial rule.

Is the rebellion in Hebei serious? Is it enough to affect this Western Expedition? Li Hu didn't know, and Li Gang had no way to guess. The problem before them was whether to continue attacking? If the attack was in full swing, Bianjing suddenly ordered a retreat, it would cause extreme dissatisfaction among the soldiers and severely damage morale, and would more likely give the Xixia people a way to surround and block the army during the retreat, causing unpredictable losses to the army.

"If the rebels become more and more powerful, just like Song Jiang Fang La back then, the attack on the city and the village will be unstoppable, then the capital will be very dangerous." Li Gang sighed, "The emperor cannot ignore the safety of the capital for the sake of the king, so..."

Li Hu understood Li Gang's meaning, but if the Western Expedition Army conquered Xingqing Prefecture and occupied Helan Mountain, Hu Lie Mansion would have gained a foothold in Daibei and took root. This temptation was too great, and it was big enough to make Li Hu take a risk to take a gamble.

The next day, Yuwen Xuzhong's letter arrived. In this letter, Yuwen Xuzhong urged Li Hu to station troops in front of the trap and seize the time to establish a solid defense in the trap to block the counterattack of the Xixia people. He clearly told Li Hu that the opportunity for the Western Expedition had been missed, and the scale of rebellions in Hebei, Shandong and other places would become larger and larger. The Song Dynasty would do its best to quell the rebellion in the next few years, and try every means to modify the national policy to appease the people. If Bian Jing does not repent and exploit the people more vigorously, the rebellions in various places will become more and more intense, and the time for the northern enemy to move south is just around the corner.

The Song Dynasty had many problems, reforms were repeatedly frustrated, and the crisis became increasingly serious. Today, this crisis finally broke out. If we traced back, from the Song Jiang Uprising, this crisis has actually begun to break out.

Li Hu was a little scared.

He heard his father tell stories since he was a child. Peasant uprisings often began when the dynasty rose and fell. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there were Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there were green forests and red eyebrows. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were yellow turbans. At the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were Sun En. At the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were Ge Rong. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were smoke and dust. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were Huang Chao. Now the Song Dynasty has established a country for more than 160 years. It was also the time for the dynasty to change. Although the Daddy only mentioned Song Jiang Fang La in the story, who can guarantee that there are no peasant uprisings in the real world? If Yue Fei

The story of "The Legend of the World" is true. The shame of Jingkang is also true. How could it be so vulnerable with the strength of the Song Dynasty? But if a large-scale peasant uprising broke out. If these peasant uprisings seriously hit the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty suddenly vulnerable, it can be reasonably explained. After all, peasant uprisings in all dynasties were terrible catastrophes. Both for the people and the country, it was a catastrophe. After this catastrophe, it was suddenly attacked by the northern captains. Naturally, they were unable to resist. It was reasonable to be defeated like a mountain.

No. I must not let the Jingkang shame happen. I must not let the Jurchens massacre my brothers and sisters. I want to stop this catastrophe.

"What do you think?" Li Hu asked hurriedly when he saw Li Gang put the letter on the table. "Do you agree with Yuwen Sima's analysis and judgment on the current situation?"

Li Gang hesitated for a long time and sighed long. "Although I have been away from Bianjing for several years, why did Fang La in Song Jiang revolt? Why did the Northern Expedition Army lose consecutive battles? I still know some reasons. From these reasons, it is not difficult to see that the national policy of the Song Dynasty failed..." Li Gang shook his hand and corrected it. "It cannot be said that the national policy of the Song Dynasty failed. It was the failure of the new local policies implemented by Cai Jing and his new party members. These new policies not only failed to revitalize the Song Dynasty, but pushed the Song Dynasty into the abyss of the defeat. If Duke Wang Wen learned about it under the spring, he would definitely cry for it. This was not his original intention. This was not the result he was willing to see. The new local policy of Cai Jing was not the essence of his new policy. But in the future, historians will only use the new policy to judge success or failure. They will not say that this is the new policy of Wen Gong or the new policy of Cai Jing."

Li Hu understood. Li Gang was not optimistic about the situation of the famine riot in Hebei. Although he was not as alarmist as Yuwen Xuzhong said, he was still as fierce as it was.

Determined.

"So, do you think Bianjing can quickly quell the rebellion?" Li Hu asked again.

Li Gang stared at the map with his eyes, his expression very depressed, and even a little depressed. Li Hu looked at the map with his eyes, and his chest suddenly felt suffocated.

When the Song Jiang Fang La Uprising was rebelled, the Liao Dynasty was not completely defeated, and was still fighting with the Jin Kingdom, which could still become a buffer between the Song and Jin Kingdom. But now, the Liao Dynasty was completely defeated, and the Jin army was eyeing the Jin Kingdom's army outside Yanyun. The desert may cross the Yinshan Mountain at any time, and the Dangxiang people in the northwest were ready to fight. As Li Gang said a few days ago, the situation in the northern border of the Song Dynasty was very bad, but as long as the domestic stability is stable, it doesn't matter even if there is war in the northern border. The Song Dynasty can do its best to block it. However, the sudden uprising tide suddenly deteriorated the domestic situation. In this case, the Song Dynasty was too busy to take care of itself, so where can there be time to resist the northern enemy?

The great chaos in China is often the best time for northern enemies to move south. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Huns went south. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xianbei people went south. When the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Five Barbarians went south and ruined the Central Plains. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Rouran people went south. When the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Turks went south. After the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms competed for the Central Plains. The Khitans rose in the north and roared down. More than a hundred years later, the Jurchens rose up, and the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty maintained a hundred years of peace and overturned, but was the Song Dynasty ready to fight?

At present, it seems that the Song Dynasty is not only not ready to fight, but is in a state of civil strife. It is indeed not far from the time when the Northern Barbarians move south.

"If..." Li Gang frowned and his tone was low, "If the Xixia people went down from Hengshan and killed Shaanxi directly, firmly restrained the Northwest Army, and the Jurchens would go south from Youyan to kill Hebei directly, what army did the Song Dynasty use to resist the Jurchens?"

"I can go south to Taiyuan and kill Hebei directly." Li Hu said immediately.

Li Gang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If the Jurchens attack Datong with one force and the Xixia people attacked Bitouzhai with one force, how can the minister support Hebei?"

"So..." Li Hu sighed, "If we fail to conquer Xingqing Prefecture this time and drive the Dangxiang people to Hexi, then both me and the Northwest Army will be restrained by the Xixia people."

Li Gang nodded, "The Prime Minister had hoped that the Khitans would rebuild the Great Liao, but if this plan was successful, the Khitans would inevitably take advantage of the situation and go south. The Prime Minister was attacked from three sides and could not protect himself, let alone support Hebei."

Li Hu sighed again. The plan cannot keep up with changes. No matter how good the strategy is, it requires the premise. If the premise changes, the strategy will lose the basis for continuation and have to adjust accordingly. The road to survival is too long and difficult.

"What should we do now?" Li Hu asked, "How likely is it that we will continue to fight the west?"

Li Gang lowered his head and did not speak. He hoped that the Western Expedition would continue, he hoped that the scale of the rebellion would be very small, and he hoped that Bianjing would quickly adjust the national policy to appease the people, otherwise, it would become a nightmare for the Song Dynasty in the next few years.

Li Hushu told Dong Xiaochou that he used this time to strengthen the defense fortress in the front set, hoard food and grass weapons, and wait for his attack orders. He told Dong Xiaochou to keep a close eye on his subordinates, not to attack blindly, and not to fall into the trap by Brother Cha's trick to lure the enemy.

Soon, as time entered November, Tan Zhen wrote again to ask for support. Zhang Di's rebel army was like a snowball, and in a short time, it reached an astonishing 400,000. They destroyed the prefectures and counties and killed officials, burned the forts and villages and killed the rich. Wherever they passed, there was a ruin.

On the seventh day of November, Tan Zhen came to ask for help for the third time. A thief from Gaotuoshan rebelled in Heishan, Xiangzhou, gathered 300,000 people to attack the capital, and the capital was in a hurry. Some people rebelled in Daming Prefecture. The leader of the thief called himself Yang Tianwang, gathered more than 100,000 people to attack Daming Prefecture.

On November 12th, Tan Zhen came to ask for help for the fourth time. When Shandong reported that a man named Zhang Xian rebelled in Qingzhou, Dongdong Road, Jingdong, and lived in more than 100,000 people, attacked cities and captured villages, burned, killed, and looted. The situation was unstoppable. All the officials and soldiers fled when they heard the news.

On the same day, the Western Xia envoy Li Renli arrived. He came to discuss peace and was willing to ced the land of Hebei in exchange for peace. Li Hu considered that the rebellions in Shandong, Hebei and the future of the Western Expedition was uncertain, so he immediately sent Li Gang to discuss in detail, while vain and awaiting news from the Taiyuan Marshal's Mansion.

On November 15, Guo Yaoshi came to write a letter, and Zhang Jue was defeated by Zong Wang and fled to Yanshan Prefecture alone. His subordinates Zhang Zhongsi and Zhang Dungu surrendered, and his father and two sons were beheaded by Zong Wang. Zong Wang asked the Song Dynasty for Zhang Jue, otherwise they would attack Yanjing. Wang Anzhong asked Guo Yaoshi for Zhang Jue, but he rushed to Bianjing. From his tone, he could hear that the Song Dynasty might be betrayed Zhang Jue due to the current situation.

Zhang Jue asked Guo Yaoshi to ask Li Hu for help, and asked Li Hu to take him to Datong immediately.

Li Hu was shocked and wrote a letter to Datong urgently, asking Ma Kuo to go to Yanjing to take Zhang Jue to Datong as quickly as possible, otherwise Zhang Jue would be dead.

On November 17, Tan Zhen came to ask for help for the fifth time. Someone rebelled in Yunzhou on the east and west roads of Jingdong Road. The rebels called themselves Prince Li, gathered people in Liangshanpo, and directly threatened the capital. Sun Lie of Qizhou on Jingdong East Road rebelled, gathered more than 100,000 people, occupied Huazi Mountain and ravaged prefectures and counties. Xu Jin and Wuhu on Jingdong East Road rebelled in the mountain area, gathered in the mountains and forests, and attacked prefectures and counties.

Li Hu sighed to the sky and hurriedly told Dong Xiaochou that he had moved some of the main forces back to Yunnei while the heavy snow had not fallen, and the Western Expedition was over.

Li Hu told Datong again, asking Dong Zhongsun, Gao Yuan and Tan Hongyi to assemble the army to prepare to go south to Hebei to quell the rebellion.
