Liefu urgently reported to Bianjing, Taiyuan, Gaoyang, Hebei and Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi.

The Great Marshal's Mansion in the northwest of Taiyuan was the first to receive the news. Prince Yun was shocked and hurriedly sent Li Zongzhen and Zhang Xiaochun to Datong to prevent Li Hu from launching a Western Expedition.

The situation of the Northern War was aroused by a single blow. Bianjing and Taiyuan repeatedly begged Li Hu to maintain stability. Unexpectedly, Li Hu turned a deaf ear and launched an attack on Xixia at the most tense moment of the Song Dynasty.

When Li Hu attacked Xixia, the people of Xixia must attack Shaanxi from Hengshan and Tiandu Mountain to force the Song Dynasty to stop Li Hu. Shaanxi was in a dilemma. Whether it was passive defense or active counterattack, it required a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. However, the focus of the northwest is now on relief. There was a drought and earthquake in front of the northwest. Last year, the people in Hedong, Shaanxi were already overwhelmed. If war broke out again, a rebellion might break out.

If Li Hu is allowed to attack and ignore it, then Dai Bei will be in danger. The Jin army will take advantage of the situation to attack Datong, so Yan Yun is in danger. Take a step back, even if the Jin people keep the alliance and do not attack Datong, how much chance of Li Hu will win against Xixia? Li Hu has almost no chance of winning, and neither force nor financial resources will be enough to support him in conquering Xingqing Prefecture. Even if the Tiger and Lie Army are undefeated, they will return in vain sooner or later.

If Li Hu's strength is damaged, it will be bad news for Taiyuan. According to the initial agreement, when rebellions in Hebei and Shandong are intensifying and Bian Jing are unable to suppress the rebellion, the Northwest Army will be dispatched. The king and the Northwest Army have been waiting for Bian Jing's request for help, but since Tong Guan's comeback, there have been many good news in suppressing the rebellion in Shandong, which hindered the plans of Prince Yun and the Northwest Army. At this time, Li Hu attacked Xixia, and the northwest border was in a hurry, and the Northwest Army could no longer move. If Li Hu's strength suffered another severe damage and could not provide strong support to Prince Yun, then Prince Yun and the Northwest Army might not be able to seize the imperial rule even if they arrived in Bian Jing.

It is difficult for the king to understand. I don’t know why Li Hu went back on his word? I don’t know why Li Hu fought against Xixia?

Tong Guan’s Xuanfu Department of Yanshan Road, Hebei, Hebei was located in Gaoyang. When Li Hu’s letter was delivered to Xuanfu Department, Tong Guan was shocked and immediately decided to rush to Datong to dissuade Li Hu.

The situation in Daibei changed drastically, and the overall trend of the world would change with it. With his years of experience in garrisoning, he realized that a bloody crisis was coming.

In fact, he had a premonition of the crisis, because the rise of any Northern Barbarians would bring disaster to China. If China is strong at this time, the border will be filled with war, and if China is vulnerable, it would be terrible. At the least, there will be a loss of life, and at worst, the country will be defeated. However, the Song Dynasty is now at a vulnerable moment.

Xunyun and Tong Shimin dissuaded Tong Guan and asked him to carefully consider whether it was necessary to rush to Datong.

Tong Shimin was the adopted son of Tong Guandi. When Tong Guan went to the northwest to preside over the military. The first battle was to recover Huangzhou. After the great victory, Tong Guan heard that a fallen general had both his parents and his wife died of illness. He left a son without knowing where to die. So he felt compassion. He sent someone to the hometown of this general and found a child who had become a beggar and took him as his adopted son. This incident was widely circulated in the Northwest Army. Many Northwest generals changed their attitude towards Tong Guandi because of this incident. After this child became Tong Guandi's adopted son, he changed his name to Tong Shimin. The fate changed. He became a great success and became the magistrate. This time Tong Guan made a comeback. Considering that he was old, the emperor specially transferred Tong Shimin to him to assist.

"We have always been worried that Li Hu would rob on fire and go south to Hedong and Hebei. Who knew that he would go to Xixia. There was a lot of work here." Xun said. "As we know Li Hu, he would not do such stupid things. But he did it now. And he chose to go at this opportunity. So what is his purpose? What does he want to do?"

"What do you think he is going to do?" Tong Guan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He pointed to the map of the table. "Look carefully. Li Hu fought against Xixia and transferred the main force to the Helan Mountain line. Datong was so empty. Zonghan's army was about to launch an attack. Zonghan surrounded Datong. Pingzhou Road, Zongwang and Zhongjing Jin army could attack Yanjing immediately. Youyan would lose. At that time, Zhang Jue, the Pingzhou Road, took the initiative to surrender to the Song Dynasty. It was the best opportunity for us to recover Pingzhou Road. Unfortunately, the official and Wang made a wrong decision. Not only did they lose Pingzhou Road, they also killed Zhang Jue, leaving behind a terrible disaster. Now, this disaster has finally erupted."

Xun Yun's face suddenly changed. "You mean, Li Hu wants to lure the Jin army south?"

Tong Shimin was not very familiar with Li Hu. But when he heard that Li Hu wanted to lead the enemy south, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

"That's what I think." Tong Guan said, "The Jin army went south and the Song Dynasty was unable to resist, so it must draw the Northwest Army. The king brought the Northwest Army to Bianjing, and first of all, he would seize the imperial throne. The king entered the Eastern Palace and asked Li Hu to go south. With the strength of Li Hu and the Northwest Army, he could completely defeat the Jin army and recover Hebei and Youyan. With such achievements, coupled with the support of Li Hu and the Northwest Army, he would be bound to ascend the throne and become emperor..."

Xunyun was suffocating. He was a literati and an aide. His ideas and vision were limited. He never dreamed that the dispute over the imperial throne in Bianjing had reached such a terrible level. Prince Yun ignored the imperial throne for the imperial throne.

It was crazy to ignore the millions of creatures.

Tong Shimin suddenly realized that he had a very good relationship with the king. With his understanding of Prince Yun, Prince Yun would do such a thing. The king has no way out now. He either became an emperor or died. Of course, he had to do everything in order to survive.

"Do you want to report to Bian Jing in a hurry?" Dong Yun asked stammered.

"No, no, this is just my guess." Tong Guan shook his hand repeatedly, "According to Guo Yaoshi's report, the Jin Dynasty has been in constant civil strife since Wanyan Agu's death, and there have been great conflicts between Zonghan and Huanglong Mansion in the northwest. If Wu Qimai wants to maintain the throne, he must first ensure the stability of the Northeast Road, and secondly, he must maintain the Song-Jin alliance to avoid the outbreak of war. Li Hu's battle against Xixia seems to give the Jin people a chance, but this is a trap. If the Jin people are not careful, they may fall into this trap and will never be restored. Things in the world are unpredictable, and victory or defeat is just a line of separation. The Jurchens have this heart, but they may not have the courage."

"So, do you have to rush to Datong in person?" Dong Yun asked worriedly, "Now Cai Jing has the final say in Bian Jing. If Cai Jing uses this as an excuse to attack you, and says that you have secretly colluded with Li Hu to support the people of the Northwest, then you will be out of your mind."

"I went to Datong to use Li Hu's power to defeat Cai Jing." Tong Guan sneered.

Xunyun looked at Tong Guan in surprise, not knowing what he meant.

"Why did Li Hu fight Datong? Because there is no food or drink, I can't survive." Tong Guan said this, Tong Shimin, who was standing aside, couldn't help laughing. His father was sometimes really funny.

"Li Hu wants to survive, but his strength is not enough to fight the Song Dynasty and Jin Kingdoms, so he has to fight against the Western Xia and plunder camels, horses, cattle and sheep." Tong Guan continued, "The reason for this ending is that it is Bian Jing's mistake. Who will bear the responsibility? Of course, it is the prime minister. You will not ask the emperor to resign, right?"

Xun Yun looked at Tong Guan blankly and sighed secretly. Prince Yun was crazy for the imperial throne, and Tong Guan was crazy for the power. At this time, the two still fought to the death. Where did the hope of the Song Dynasty come from? Why did Tong Guan go to Datong? It was fake to go to Datong, and it was true to meet Prince Yun in Taiyuan. He had seen the development of the future situation and he wanted to make good plans for his future. Cai Jing of Bianjing is really dizzy? Of course not. When this news reached Bianjing, Cai Jing could immediately come to the same conclusion as Tong Guan. How would he deal with it?

The Shaanxi Xuanfu Department of Zheyanzhi is located in Yan'an Prefecture on Linyan Road.

Li Hu's letter made him both heartbroken and helpless. What was heartbroken was Youyan. The people of Hebei would suffer a catastrophe. What was helpless was how to save the Song Dynasty in addition to this strategy? The only hope now is that the Jurchens temporarily gave up going south due to various concerns, otherwise the situation might be out of control.

Li Hu was gambling with the country of Song Dynasty, and this person was crazy.

Zhe Yanzhi knew that he was powerless to stop him, so he could only try to control the situation. Zhe Yanzhi urgently sued Taiyuan and told Prince Yun in detail his prediction of the situation. Please be sure to remain calm and pay attention to Bian Jing at all times. Once there is a change in Bian Jing, or the Jin army goes south, send troops to defend the king immediately, and do not hesitate.

Zhe Yanzhi urgently wrote to Zhe Keqiu and asked him to go to Datong. Although Li Hu attacked Xixia as a feint attack, due to the lack of cooperation from the Northwest Army, the feint attack might turn into a war of attrition. So he asked Zhe Keqiu to do his best to help Li Hu to ensure that Li Hu can attack and retreat and defend.

The situation in Bianjing developed beyond everyone's expectations.

After receiving the news, Cai Jing and Bai Shizhong immediately felt a crisis, and the emperor summoned Yuwen Xuzhong and Li Gang as soon as possible to ask about Li Hu's motives.

Yuwen Xuzhong and Li Gang finally understood Li Hu's strategy and knew how he could use to retaliate against Bian Jing. However, they could not say at this moment that they still had time to dissuade Li Hu. The most urgent task was to use this crisis to drive Cai Jing out of the court. As long as Cai Jing held power, the Song Dynasty would be defeated faster.

Yuwen Xuzhong and Li Gang immediately said the many disadvantages of the new policy and the fact that Cai Jing's party used the new policy to harm the country and the people, and finally came to one sentence: as long as Cai Jing was driven out of the court, the crisis could be resolved.

The emperor hesitated and summoned Cai Jing and asked Cai Jing that there would be a solution.

What could Cai Jing say? If he said that all this was a strategy carefully designed by Prince Yun to seize the imperial rule, the emperor would definitely be furious. If he didn't say it, find an excuse to continue to stay in the court, and once the Jin army went south, his own guilt would be great. Those who know the times are heroes. No one can make a comeback in this mess in the Song Dynasty. If he is ruined in the future, he might as well retreat now.

Cai Jing blamed himself and asked to resign from the prime minister. The emperor was right and asked him to retire and return home. Cai Jing spent his time and finally made a fourth appointment with the prime minister, but the development of the situation exceeded his expectations. In a short period of time, the situation in the Song Dynasty had deteriorated to the extreme. The accumulated problems after more than 20 years of implementation of the new policy finally broke out in an instant. He was no longer able to turn the tide and stepped down again after four months of his appointment with the prime minister.
