帝急召蔡京,征询蔡京的意见.

Although Cai Jing retired at home, he had been paying close attention to the situation in the court. He did not expect that the situation would deteriorate so much in an instant. The reason for the deterioration was that Li Hu had won a great victory in Helan Mountain, and the other was that the king suddenly went north to Datong. Li Hu's victory in Helan Mountain led to the court's attempt to use the Western Expedition to weaken Li Hu's strength completely. Li Hu's strength was not weakened, and the Jin army could not defeat Li Hu, so the court's decision immediately became an excuse for Li Hu to retaliate against Bian Jing. At this moment, Prince Yun suddenly went north to Datong. Although he had the idea of ​​using Li Hu's strength to seize the imperial throne for himself, it was more important to prevent Li Hu from turmoiling the Central Plains. This was also an important reason why the court knew that Tong Guan was fueling the fire but could not catch his handle.

From the current situation, it can be foreseen that in the next few months, the Jin army will launch an attack, and the Jin army's failure in Datong can be attributed to the Song Dynasty's betrayal of the alliance. Prince Yun and Tong Guan personally rushed to Datong to take command, which is enough to show that the Song Dynasty set a trap for the Jin army. The Jin army had an excuse and of course had to retaliate, and the target of the Jin army's revenge was naturally Youyan, which was Hebei. However, Youyan only had 100,000 garrison troops of Guo Yaoshi, and Hebei was in chaos. The army of these two places probably could not stop the Jin army. In this way, Hebei was in danger and the capital was even more in danger.

Li Hu also wanted to take revenge. Now he has the king, supports Prince Yun, and goes south with justifiable reason. He leaked from Hedong, and the capital was basically his belongings.

Cai Jing thought for a long time and could only helplessly tell the emperor that taking one step at a time, perhaps the situation would develop better than we expected, because the Jin Dynasty did not know the true strength of the Song Dynasty. After they were defeated by Datong, they might not dare to invade. Li Hu might not dare to use his main force to go south when both Xixia and Jin Dynasty were eyeing Daibei tigers.

"What if the situation develops worse than we expected?" The emperor could not place a solution to the crisis on assumptions about the future situation, he had to make a decision.

"Get away from the edge for the time being and retreat to the south of the Yangtze River." Cai Jing said without hesitation, "The worst situation is that in order to find an excuse to go south to serve the king, Wang and Li Hu may deliberately show weakness and even give up Datong to induce the Jin army to invade south. The Jin army goes south to threaten the capital, and Wang and Li Hu will immediately lead their troops to the capital. Li Hu and the Jin army must have a bloody battle, but the king's goal is Bian Jing, so His Majesty's only way is to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River quickly."

"Your Majesty can establish a new court when he arrives in Jiangnan, and Prince Yun is passive because of this. If he proclaims himself emperor, he will usurp the enemy and will be despised by the people of the world." Cai Jing stroked his beard and smiled, "Your Majesty takes the initiative. When Li Hu defeats the Jin people, Your Majesty can ask Prince Yun to take Li Hu's army north to conquer the Jin Kingdom. If the two tigers fight, one will be injured. Li Hu is not as strong as the Jin Kingdom, and the injured must be Li Hu. Then Your Majesty can join forces with the Jin people to attack Li Hu and eliminate Li Hu. Li Hu was defeated, and Prince Yun was tied up."

The emperor was very happy. At the critical moment, Cai Jing was still working, and this method was exactly the same as the emperor's wishes.

"Follow your beloved," the emperor said happily, "You make a secret arrangement immediately. Once the capital is in danger, we will go south quickly."

In mid-November, Helan Mountain and Crescent Lake.

The atmosphere inside the Han King's tent was solemn and tense.

Datong Hundred Thousand reported urgently that Bianjing was betrayal and had agreed with the Jin people to join forces to attack. In order to gain the trust of Huliu Mansion, Wang and Tong Guan personally rushed to Datong. The battle between Yanyun was about to break out.

Li Hu read the letters from Luo Sinan, Luo Qinghan, Prince Zhao Kai, Tong Guan, and Guo Yaoshi several times, then carried his hands on his back and forth in the big tent and thought about it.

Dong Xiaochou, Mao Jun, Yelu Mage, Gao Baolong, Chai Yun, Yuanye, and Fan Zhichang sat around the case. After reading the letters in turn, they fell into silence.

The development of the situation was beyond everyone's expectations. No one expected that Bianjing would make a wrong decision at this critical moment, which led to the Jin people's legitimate move southward and invasion.

"The King of Yun went north to Datong and actually turned against Bianjing, which was equivalent to pushing Bianjing to a very dangerous situation." Fan Zhichang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The king had no way out at this point. In order to seize the imperial throne, he had to show his weakness in Datong, lure the Jin people to invade south, and then win himself the excuse of serving the king." Fan Zhichang sighed regretfully, "The catastrophe of the Song Dynasty has arrived, and life is in ruins."

Li Hu stopped, his eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces, and finally stopped on Chai Yun.

"Although Prince Yun did not say it directly in this letter, the meaning was very obvious. He hoped that we would not rush to withdraw our troops, so as to give the Jin army enough time to attack and lure the Jin army to Hebei and kill Bianjing directly." Chai Yun raised the letter in his hand and frowned, "According to Tong Guan's prediction, Guo Yaoshi should be able to block the Jin army. After all, Yanjing City is tall and strong, and tens of thousands of people guarding a city, which is as solid as a god. Once the Jin army is blocked by the city of Yanjing, it will be unable to go south to Hebei. Therefore, if the Jin army wants to threaten Bianjing, it must give Youyan to the Jin army..."

"This is betrayal, betrayal..." Fan Zhichang's face turned red

He shouted, "We cannot do this. The people are innocent and ignore the lives of millions of people."

"The king has arrived in Datong. If we respect Prince Yun, we must obey Prince Yun's command and obey the king's orders." Dong Xiaochou patted Fan Zhichang's shoulder and signaled him to calm down. "The prince Yun ordered us to put the main force around Datong, guard Datong, and give Fengshengzhou to the Jin army, and let the Jin army conquer Juyongguan, conquer Yanjing, and occupy Youyan, thereby luring the Jin army to the south to Hebei..."

"Youyan is the territory of the Song Dynasty. How can we give Youyan to the Jin people?" Fan Zhichang couldn't calm down. He took a hard shot of the case and said angrily, "In order to seize the imperial rule, the king has lost his mind. He is already crazy. Should we also follow him and commit heinous crimes?"

"According to your opinion, we should all die?" Yelu Ma Ge really couldn't stand it anymore, so he slapped the table on the case and shouted at Fan Zhichang, "Let Bianjing join forces with the Jurchens to kill us, so that we will have no sins? Can you save thousands of people? Can you be clearer? The root of all this is in Bianjing. Since the Song Dynasty formed an alliance with the Jin people to attack our Great Liao, Bianjing made an unforgivable mistake. The Great Liao was defeated, and the Song Dynasty and the Jin people directly confronted each other, but did the Song Dynasty have the strength to fight against the Jin people? Two times

The Northern Expedition has an absolute advantage in military strength, but they are all defeated by Xiao Gan. Why? Can such an army be fought against the Jurchens? If the Tiger King had not occupied Daibei, why should the Song Dynasty recover Youyan? If the Tiger King was defeated, what would the Song Dynasty use to guard Yanyun? All this was inevitable. Even if the Tiger King now occupied Daibei, it would still be impossible to stop the Jin army from moving south because it was very simple. For Bian Jing, the Tiger King's threat to the Song Dynasty was much greater than that of the Jurchens. Bian Jing was determined to kill the Tiger King and destroy the Great Wall by himself. How could they resist the Jin army?"

Fan Zhichang stared at Yelu Ma Ge, willing to refute, but could not find a reason to refute.

Why is this happening? Why does Bianjing have to destroy itself? As Yelu Ma Ge said, Bianjing is determined to destroy itself, and no one can save it. The only way is to subvert Bianjing. The only chance to subvert Bianjing is to serve the king. If the king is to be famous, then now we have to let Bianjing go further and further on the road to destroying itself. As for the innocent people, we can only watch them become the burial of Bianjing.

"General General, don't you have any help?" Fan Zhichang looked at Li Hu and begged in pain.

Of course, Li Hu had no choice. All of this was exactly what he needed, but what he never expected was that at this critical moment, Bian Jing actually forced Prince Yun to a dead end. As a result, Prince Yun had to fight back and did everything Li Hu wanted to do. If Li Hu did some things, it would be a rebellious and even be hated and despised by the people of the Song Dynasty. However, Prince Yun did it, it would be completely different. He was justified and firmly controlled the righteousness.

"If the king did not arrive in Datong, we would indeed have the opportunity to stop the Jin army from going south." Li Hu shook his head helplessly, "But Prince Yun arrived in Datong, the Hedong army would definitely listen to him. He transferred all the Hedong army to Datong, and Fengshengzhou only had 50,000 troops left. This obviously could not resist the attack of the Jin army. The loss of Juyong Pass was just a matter of time."

"Since Juyongguan is bound to be lost, Youyan will definitely not be able to defend it. Why do we offend the king?" Li Hu's face gradually became colder, "Bianjing wants to kill me, should I still send my head over? Yes, I once swore that I must be loyal to the Song Dynasty, but I am loyal to the Song Dynasty, not Bianjing, nor the emperor of Bianjing and those shameless ministers. The Song Dynasty is already rotten, and Prince Yun has the heart to revive the Song Dynasty. Of course, we must assist the wise ruler and fight for the revive of the Song Dynasty. Although this process is very difficult and innocent people will suffer a catastrophe, but compared to the peaceful and prosperous future, what is this sacrifice?"

The big tent fell into silence. Everyone actually knew that Li Hu was determined to go south. The current situation was just conducive to the implementation of his new strategy. How could he give up the opportunity?

"General General, then when will we withdraw our troops?" Dong Xiaohou asked.

"Continue to withdraw the troops as planned." Li Hu said, "Before it snows, all the food shooting army, civilians and prisoners will be withdrawn to Wulahai City." Then he looked at Mao's army, Yelu Mage and Gao Baolong, "When can all the horse troops who plunder Lingxia return?"

"The horse army that plundered Hanhai Road has basically completed its mission and is withdrawing one after another." Mao Jun said, "Because Pingxia Road is far away, there are many prefectures and counties, it is estimated that it will take some time."

"The heavy snow is about to fall, and the Yellow River has begun to freeze. Please ask them to withdraw as soon as possible."

"General General, should we speed up the progress of negotiations with Xingqing Mansion?" Chai Yun reminded in time.
