Yue...Zhe Yan rushed to the same place.
From the beginning of entering Ningwu Pass, he felt a tense atmosphere of war.
Hu Liefu informed the surnames of various prefectures and counties. In the near future, the desert may go south and plunder. The Jurchens may also attack Datong again. The Xixia people were eyeing the Yellow River and were ready to take advantage of the fire to rob. The situation in Daibei was very critical. For this reason, Li Hu and the Ministry of State beg the people of Yunzhong to unite and work together to protect their homes at all costs.
The army began to fight in early spring. Every month, it conducted a practical exercise in Datong and Jinshan areas. This large-scale training intensified the tension in Daibei and also aroused the confidence and determination of Daibei people to guard their homes.
In addition to farming and animal husbandry, the people actively responded to the call of the Ministry of State, built roads and cities, mining and transporting grain. Both men, women, young and old consciously and voluntarily devoted their labor and sweat free of charge.
Daibei's workshops and craftsmen hired them to extend their working hours and tried their best to make weapons, refine medicinal materials, sew clothes... In order to survive, they were willing to give all their strength. Daibei's merchants, under the organization of the Fusi and Du Shang Taxation Court, went to Jingxiang and Sichuan to carry out trade and return. They strive to establish multiple safe return channels as soon as possible to provide Daibei with constant sources of supplies.
The officials of Daibei went deep into the fields to appease and supervise the people to fight to protect their homes. Professors and assistants in schools and institutions at all levels teach their own students. 1 The monks and Taoists in temples in the north told the devout believers that in order to protect this land on which they depend for survival, they must fight bravely and fight bloody battles with the enemy to the end.
This atmosphere of bloody battle between the enemy and the enemy was as early as June when Li Hu married the Princess of Xixia. The important officials of the Song, Jin and Xia Kingdom came to Datong to congratulate him. They felt it personally. They also witnessed the people of Daibei doing everything selflessly and without regrets to protect their homeland. They were already ready to sacrifice themselves to protect Daibei. They were willing to live and die together.
The people of the Song Dynasty were worried about Li Hu going south, so Zhe Yanzhi naturally guessed that Li Hu might go south to develop; the Jurchens became more cautious because of this. If they attack Datong for the second time and return again, it would be a serious blow to the Jin Kingdom. Therefore, Zong Han would never attack Datong without being sure of it; Xixia was afraid of it. Li Hu was ready to fight his own strength and he would definitely have to take the initiative to attack. But he could not take the initiative to attack the Song and Jin Kingdom. If he wanted to fight, he would have to fight the weakest opponent. Xixia was obviously the best target, so Chage's strategy of using attack instead of defense was correct. But if Xixia wanted to achieve attack instead of defense, he had to form an alliance with the Song and the Kingdom. Otherwise, the life of the Xixia people would be difficult.
Zhe Yan kept thinking all the way. While walking across the Jinsha Beach and standing on the beach by the river, remembering the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who had died here in battle, he suddenly understood Li Hu's thoughts. Hu was preparing for war on behalf of Peking University. It was to destroy the Song, Jin and Xia Three Kingdoms Alliance and reverse the unfavorable situation of the Hulie Mansion.
Li Hu gave up halfway through the Western Expedition. Xixia suffered heavy damage and the Song Dynasty rebelled repeatedly. His main opponent was the Jin Kingdom. However, Xixia and Song Dynasty deeply felt the threat from Li Hu in order to weaken and curb Li Hu. They must have the Jin people to fight Li Hu. Although neither Song and Xixia will have conflicts with the Jin Kingdom at present, such conflicts exist. Sooner or later, they will break out. For this reason, they formed an alliance with the Jin Kingdom and used the Jin Kingdom to fight Li Hu, so that the Jin Kingdom and the Hu both suffered losses. This is very beneficial to them.
The Jin Kingdom did want to fight Li Hu. In addition, the conflicts between various forces in Huanglong Mansion were in conflict. Zong Han of the Western Tent didn't want to fight. Huanglong Mansion would also force him to fight. Li Hu opened his flag to prepare for war. This was equivalent to telling the Jin Kingdom that you were going to fight. We were both injured. Are you willing to bear this loss? Are you willing to jump into the trap of the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia?
Of course Zong Han was unwilling. After weighing the profits, Huanglong Mansion would not jump into the trap. The Jin Kingdom did not fight. The plan to form an alliance between Song, Jin and Xia to fight Li Hu failed. Daibei battlefield immediately fell into a confrontation. This was exactly what Li Hu needed. Although Li Hu did not change from passive to active, the entire battle situation began to benefit him. Whether he could change from active to active depends on the development of the world's general trend.
From this point of view, Li does not have the conditions to go south at present. If he goes south, Datong will be empty. Jin and Xia can join forces to attack Daibei. Li Hu will then lose sight of the other side. Now Li Hu is in a stalemate between all parties in Daibei. As soon as he moves, the stalemate situation changes immediately. The situation will be detrimental to Li Hu.
So. What is Li Hu's expectations for the future? How does he plan to completely turn the adverse situation around?

After seeing Li Hu, Zhe Yanzhi was very frank and told him in detail about Bian Jing's intention to join forces with Jin to attack and kill Li Hu. He explained Taiyuan's concerns one by one. Finally, he asked Li Hu directly. "Are you planning to go south?"
Li Hu denied it. "I have made a promise to Prince Yun. I will never go south. My tiger brigade will never cross the border and enter the two rivers. I will not set foot in the Central Plains."
Zhe Yan looked at Li Hu with his heart pounding. He had been in contact with Li Hu for a long time and also had some understanding of Li Hu's personality. If Li Hu used various reasons to explain it, he would be willing to believe it. But today Li Hu rejected it in one sentence. This shows that Li Hu does mean to go south. And he is lazy to hide it. If you want to believe it, believe it. If you don't want to believe it, fall.
Li Hu also stared at Zhe Yanzhi with his eyes sharp and did not decorate the anger in his heart.
He was indeed angry, very disappointed with Bian Jing, and also disappointed with Taiyuan. But if you want to live better in this world, you have dignity. For individuals, you need excellent products.
A tough personality requires strength for the Huliu Mansion. It does not have strength.|You can only be slaughtered by a group of wolves.
The Western Expedition to seize Helan Mountain was once a way for Li Hu to break out of the siege. But now it seems that this strategy was a failure. Li Hu mistakenly estimated the power of the Khitans. A dynasty that had been established for more than two hundred years actually lost its country and a dynasty that once used the Thousand Miles of Desert as a solid rear did not set up a cone on the grassland. This was something Li Hu had never thought of before. The Khitans could not rebuild the Great Liao and could not restrain the Jin Kingdom. The Jurchens formed a substantial threat. Then Li Hu could not gather his strength to attack the Western Xia.
Similarly, Li Hu also mistakenly plotted the strength of the Song Dynasty. After all, the story of his father is a story. Li Hu did not want to believe it. He could not believe it. But as Li Hu fell into the battle for the imperial throne in Bianjing. As the Northern Expedition Army of the Song Dynasty was defeated in Youyan and suffered two defeats, a great rebellion broke out in Shandong, Hebei. He did not believe that the Song Dynasty was indeed a paper tiger with strong external strength and was rotten. Li Hu helped Prince Yun seize the throne and won the battle for the imperial throne. He could not cure the decay of the Song Dynasty. People in the northwest were deeply trapped in "mountain". The clouds and mountains were surrounded by fog and could not see clearly. Blindly optimistic and blindly confident.
In Li Hu's view, the imperial rule cannot resolve the problem of the Song Dynasty. Prince Yun cannot overturn the foundation on which the Song Dynasty relies on to establish the country in the future. Yun will not be able to modify the national policy of the Song Dynasty, just like Emperor Shenzong. Although he was ambitious, he wanted to reform and enrich the country and strengthen the people, he was still unable to resist the fierce "attack" from the court and the country. He did not give up reform and embarked on the old path again.
Why did the reform of Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi fail? Will this reform eventually enrich the country and strengthen the people? Is the opposition of Sima Guang and the old party purely because of the dispute over rights and interests? Obviously, the fact is not like this. The Yuanyou Party members are not interested parties. They oppose the reform not purely because of damage to power and interests. Instead, they are often pessimistic about the expectation of the reform. They believe that the reform cannot change the status quo and will only push the Song Dynasty to another extreme. Judging from the twenty years since Cai Jing implemented the new policy for the past 20 years, the new policy did not have a rich country | the people. On the contrary, the new policy seriously harmed the people. It would be fine if there was no rich country. The consequences of harming the people are too terrible. Riots are inevitable.
Cai Jing's new policy is different from Wang Anshi's new policy. The new policy has transformed. However, any reform requires policy corrections based on the development of the situation and make timely changes. Cai Jing's new policy is the result of changes based on the development of the situation. It cannot be simply denied Cai Jing's new policy because of the transformation of the new policy. This is unfair to Cai Jing. If the God Emperor and Wang Anshi insist on reforms and persist for twenty years and thirty years or even longer, will Wang Anshi's new policy remain unchanged? This is impossible. The policy must be constantly changed based on the situation. So who dares to say that Wang Anshi's reforms will not harm the people in the end? They will not go on the road of no return like Cai Jing, which hurts the people and harms the country?
Since Li Hu learned about his life experience, he has read a lot of articles in this regard. Since the Yuanyou Party Case, the Song Dynasty has banned the academic and articles of the old Yuanyou Party. However, the Daliao was very concerned about the reform of the Song Dynasty. Over the past few decades, many of the Han scholars have long studied the content of the reform of the Song Dynasty and tried to find something that would help the Liao Dynasty. Li Hu swept away Yanjing. These documents were finally moved to Datong. Li Hu was therefore fortunate to learn about the reforms of the Song Dynasty in detail from the perspective of the old party and the third party, from the perspective of the Liao Dynasty, a third party.
The arrival of Li Gang and Yuwen Xuzhong gave Li Hu the opportunity to further understand the Song Dynasty and interpret the reform. As his understanding of the Song Dynasty became more and more profound, the reform and the interpretation of the party and government became more and more detailed. Li Hu gradually formed his own set of ideas. He agreed with Li Gang and Yuwen Xuzhong's view of reform. However, in order to fight against opponents, he not only drove the opponent out of the court, but also prohibited his opponent's articles and academics. He completely strangled the opponent from the ** and ideology. This is obviously wrong. This will inevitably lead the new policy to another extreme. Therefore, he believes that not only should we overthrow the Yuanyou Party’s case and let the Yuanyou Party enter the court, we should also integrate the strengths of the two factions in the reform and formulate a set of effective new national policies to enrich the country and strengthen the people.
If you want to do this, you must change the foundation of the founding of the Song Dynasty. To change the foundation of the founding of the country, you must first change the power distribution structure of the Song Dynasty, let military generals enter the court, weaken and curb the power of civil servants. As long as this is the possibility of completely changing the foundation of the founding of the Song Dynasty. But to do this, just changing the imperial throne is far from enough. The easiest and effective way is to overthrow the Zhao Dynasty of the Song Dynasty. However, this method is too rough and bloody. It may cause China to collapse.
There are too many lessons in history, such as the Three Kingdoms, the Five Barbarians and Northern Dynasties after the Jin Dynasty, and Five Dynasties after the Tang Dynasty, so this method cannot be used. Only another method can be used to rule the world with the emperor. There are also many in history. In ancient times, there were Duke Yi Yin and Zhou and Huo Guang. In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the powerful ministers assisted the young master and became powerful ministers to seize the country's fortune. Therefore, those who used the emperor to rule the world with basically turned into possession of the son and seize the country.
