Li Hu returned to the camp outside the city. Dong Xiaochou, Mao Jun and Yelu Ma returned first. When he heard that Li Hu was back, he hurried to the Shuai Tiao and asked about the time to enter Hebei.

Li Hu was in a heavy mood, the smile on his face was very forced, and he looked very tired, giving people a feeling of exhaustion. Dong Xiaochou and others were secretly surprised. From the time they decided to go to Hebei to attack the Jin army, Li Hu was full of murderous aura. The indomitable aura made his subordinates full of confidence in the battle in Hebei. However, after just a few hours, Li Hu was completely different, which made the generals smell an ominous smell.

Yue Fei handed over a cup of hot tea. Li Hu reached out to take it, looked at Yue Fei's handsome face, and felt a trembling for no reason. In the story of my father, Yue Fei seemed to be still in his hometown Tangyin at this time. Soon he would go to Liu's tent to serve, and then meet Zong Ze, and start his brilliant and sad life. Zong Ze? Where is Zong Ze now? If I enter Hebei to fight and then go south to Bian Jing to help the king seize the imperial throne, then the reality is completely different from that of my father. Is the story of my father real? If it is true, there is really a shame of Jing Kang, then will Bian Jing be conquered by the Jin army?

Li Hu was restless and felt unbearable. He took a long breath and patted Yue Fei's back affectionately, "Be prepared immediately and take the four commanding Tiger Guards to Hebei first."

When Yue Fei saw Li Hu's restlessness, he was a little nervous and thought the situation had changed. Unexpectedly, Li Hu opened his mouth and ordered him to go to Hebei first. He was immediately overjoyed and asked excitedly: "Will the main force follow up?"

Dong Xiaochou, Mao Jun and others also looked at Li Hu nervously. This was the first time that the Tiger Lie Army entered the Song Dynasty, and the Han people in the north fought for their homeland that they were dreaming about. The mood could not be expressed in words and words. Although Li Hu's ultimate goal was to survive the Tiger Lie Army, from another perspective, Li Hu fulfilled his promise and finally returned to his homeland with the Han people in Liaodong.

"Tomorrow morning, Zhao Bingyuan of Shengjie Army and Hu Yanzhuo of Taiyuan Prefecture will each bring 2,000 troops to the Hebei battlefield with you." Li Hu said lightly, "You are the commander of this army, and Zhao Bingyuan and Hu Yanzhuo are obeying your command. Go and prepare immediately, and I will talk to you carefully after our discussion is over."

Yue Fei agreed happily and left the coach's tent excitedly.

"How is the situation in Datong? Is there any latest news?" Li Hu used tea with one hand and signaled everyone to sit down with the other.

"The war situation in Datong has been very fierce, especially at the beginning of last month. The Jin army transferred its main force to the Qing Dynasty and launched a fierce attack." Chai Yun said hurriedly. "The princess and Luo Shuai were helpless and pulled the village soldiers up and fought with the Jin army to consume, resulting in heavy losses. But since the Tie Shuai sent 50,000 Xia army prisoners to Datong, the situation quickly reversed. The Jin army was exhausted for two consecutive months of attacks. The battlefield in Datong was therefore in a deadlock."

"Zong Han attacked for two months in a row. He has not been able to reach the city of Datong so far. He is probably very frustrated." Mao Jun stroked his beard and smiled. "If anything unexpected happens, they will stop attacking soon. Because from time to time, our landlords are about to return to Datong." Mao Jun looked at Li Hu and looked at the generals present. He looked a little proud. "Do you think Zong Han dare to fight us?"

"The Jurchens must ensure the safety of Youyan. Youyan is as solid as a golden soup. They can only safely retreat to the north when they attack the Bianjing army for a long distance." Yelu Mage continued Mao's local words. "By my guess, Zonghan must go from attack to defense. Whether from the current or long-term interests, the Jurchens must firmly defend Fengshengzhou and Juyongguan to maintain a threat to the Song Dynasty."

"We have arrived in Taiyuan. Just cross the Taihang Mountains and you can enter Hebei. Do you think the Jin army can still retreat to the north without any harm?" Fan Zhichang had great expectations for this south attack. He spoke very excitedly. "As long as we can severely damage the Jin army in Hebei and force the Jin army to withdraw to the Northeast, the new strategy of the General Commander will definitely succeed."

"Things are more complicated than we expected. Very complicated." Li Hu touched his forehead and said slowly. "From the current situation, it is not very likely that our strategy of going south will be successful."

As soon as this sentence was said, the handsome tent suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at Li Hu, and his eyes were confused.

Li Hu smiled bitterly, but he stopped talking.

Since he heard the tragic story his father told, he has never understood why the great Song Dynasty and the accumulation of more than 120 years after the Chanyuan Alliance were defeated by a small wild country that had just risen? Now he has some understanding that the people of Bianjing are not good enough to enrich the country and strengthen the people, and they have a way of defeating the country. When the Northern Barbarians invaded the country, they are still fighting for power and profit, and they completely ignore the safety of the country and the people.

Why did the old emperor want to be inwardly? Why did he flee to the southeast? Are he really afraid that the Jin army would conquer Bianjing? No, it was not at all. The old emperor was very clear-headed and had a very accurate judgment of the situation. He knew that the consequences of the Jin people's invasion south were not scary, and Li Hu could not turn the world. With the vast territory and rich wealth of the Song Dynasty, he could completely defeat the northern enemy. However, external enemies could retreat, but internal thieves could not defend themselves. Once Prince Yun, Li Hu and the people in the northwest went south to serve the king and force Bianjing, the first thing was to kill the traitors, and they would kill Cai Jing, Wang, Liang Shicheng and others. The old emperor lost these "arms".

The power in his hands is easily robbed by Prince Yun. Li Hu and the Northwest King? It’s very simple. For power and interests, they took a great risk to reach Bianjing thousands of miles away, not for a little reward, but to seize the greatest benefit. None, letting Prince Yun ascend the throne to the throne and become the emperor is the best, easiest and most effective way to seize profits. For this reason, the old emperor had to leave Bianjing and rebuild the court in the southeast.

Rebuilding the court takes time, but the Jin army roars, and the army of Prince Yun and Li Hu will come later. The old emperor caught off guard and had no choice but to be Nei Zen. The prince can supervise the country, but the prince is the prince after all, and the prince has no interests to reward the ministers and troops left behind in Bianjing. The power and interests are taken away by the old emperor. It can be imagined that how could the greedy and shameless ministers of Bianjing who were afraid of death stayed to assist the prince? They fled with the old emperor.

After the dispersion, Bianjing was over. Bianjing was over. Who will stop the Jin army? Who will stop Wang and Li Hu? The old emperor was really willing to abandon half of the country? Of course not, so he gave the throne to the crown prince. The crown prince became the emperor, and the emperor was once a minister. The power and interests of the Song Dynasty were redistributed. People died of wealth and birds died for food. It is conceivable that how many people in Bianjing were willing to follow the young emperor to fight bravely. Even if Bianjing could not be defended, they could buy enough time for the old emperor.

Isn't the old emperor worried that the little emperor would lose control? Of course, the old emperor would not ignore it. He reserved a backup plan. At the end of last year, the old emperor made a wrong decision and joined forces with the Jin people to fight against Daibei again. As a result, Wang and Tong Guan were forced into a dead end and turned against Li Hu even more. But the old emperor had a way to make up for it. He could solve all the problems of land by just pulling Prince Yun back to him. Let the prince be the emperor, which is the best way to pull Prince Yun back to his side. If the prince wants to be an emperor, he must first depose the little emperor, and only the old emperor can depose the little emperor. Otherwise, Prince Yun is usurping the emperor, and it is not just unjust and will be despised by the world. In this way, the old emperor firmly grasps Prince Yun's land seven inches.

The old emperor rebuilt the court in the southeast, which might split the Song Dynasty. In order to prevent the division, he had to have an absolute advantage in strength, forcing the little emperor to bow his head. The old emperor captured the seven inches of Prince Yun, and in order to seize the throne, the king had to use it for the old emperor. In this way, Li Hu and the people in the northwest became the strength of the old emperor.

The old emperor had such strong strength, but he was afraid that he would not be able to return to Bianjing and regain power. Prince Yun got his wish and entered the Eastern Palace and eventually won the imperial rule.

Li Hu was not sure whether the old emperor's plan was as Li Hu guessed, but judging from the reactions of Prince Yun and Tong Guan and the countermeasures they made, this is exactly the case.

If the development of the situation is exactly the same as the old emperor's plan, then there will be no division in the Song Dynasty, and the king will become the crown prince. Li Hu first fought against the Western Xia, and now he fought against the Jin people. The loss of strength can be imagined. In the end, he had to return to Daibei in shame to be a vassal state under the joint planning of the old emperor, Prince Yun and the people of the northwest. He got nothing. The old emperor would also join the Jin people to fight Daibei again.

Tong Guan said carefully about what happened in Bianjing, and Li Hu foresaw the unfavorable situation of Hulie Mansion, so he repeatedly asked the king whether he would become an emperor immediately when he arrived in Bianjing. If the king rejected it, then Li Hu would gain nothing and would not do such stupid things. If Prince Yun agreed, then Li Hu could gain huge benefits from it and achieve his ultimate goal, and then Li Hu would be willing to help him.

Li Hu explained in detail the local events in Bianjing, Tong Guan’s inference and decision-making on the situation in Bianjing, as well as his thorough analysis of the situation in Bianjing and his judgment on the future development.

Dong Xiaochou, Mao Jun, Yelu Ma Ge, Gao Baolong, Chai Yun, Yuan Ye, Fan Zhichang and others were shocked and stunned. They never dreamed that the situation in Bian Jing was so complicated.

"When we first formulated the strategy of going south, we did not consider that such incredible changes would occur in Bianjing." Li Hu sighed, "Now the old emperor fled to the southeast, and the young emperor was in Bianjing. Prince Yun did not receive the imperial edict from Bianjing to support the king. He could not go south. He was rebellious. As for me, he was already rebellious. I led my army to Taiyuan and disobeyed the imperial edict of Bianjing. Of course, the king was dragged down by me."

"If the Jin army retreated and the little emperor defended Bianjing, his situation was very difficult. There was only one way ahead of him. He fought against the old emperor, otherwise he would die. He almost killed all the old emperor's confidants, and his ambition to seize power had been exposed. How could the old emperor tolerate him? The little emperor now has a army of kings and his strength has increased greatly. Moreover, he is the emperor of the Song Dynasty, occupying the right time, place, and people. On the contrary, the old emperor was very passive. At this time, his only way was to ask Prince Yun for help, and the king must join forces with the old emperor in order to seize the imperial rule."

"The Song Dynasty is going to split?" Dong Xiaohou exclaimed in horror.

"When a civil war is fought, killing each other?" Yelu Ma Ge also widened his eyes, unable to believe, "Even if the Jurchens withdrew their troops, their hundreds of thousands of troops are still in Yanyun. As long as the civil war in the Song Dynasty is together and hundreds of thousands of troops are leaked, will the Song Dynasty be over?"
