At the bottom, Taiyuan, the Northwest Marshal's Mansion.

The envoys of Xixia arrived in Taiyuan. This was the fourth batch of envoys sent by Xixia since the Song army withdrew from Xixia.

After learning that the Jin army invaded the Song Dynasty and the reincarnation of the Bianjing Emperor, Li Ganshun and the central ministers of the Western Xia were very keenly aware that the Song Dynasty was gradually collapsing. There is a fact that cannot be ignored, that is, why could the Jin army reach the city of Bianjing? From Yanjing to Bianjing, more than two thousand miles, the Jin army was as powerful as the Broken Embroidery, and the Song Dynasty was unable to resist. This shows how the crisis of the Song Dynasty was so serious. It can be seen that Bianjing lost control of the local area, and the biggest local power was the northwest. So did Li Hu in the northwest plan to take advantage of the situation to seize the great Song Dynasty? The people of the Western Xia judged that Li Hu was ambitious and his target was aimed directly at Bianjing.

The fourth batch of envoys were sent out when Xixia had already roughly understood the situation in the world and made new strategies. The destination of these envoys was Taiyuan, and the main envoy of the envoy was King Li Cha Ge of Jin.

Li Hu took his wife Wanyan Xingxing and Li Yuling to welcome him outside the city. Li Yuling is the Snow Princess of Xixia. She and Wanyan Xingxing went south to Taiyuan in early March. Luo Sinan was in charge of the affairs of Hulie Mansion, and Yelu Mingyue was her right-hand assistant. The two remained in Datong. Hulie Mansion had a suggestion to move the prefectural minister south to Taiyuan, but Li Hu refused this suggestion considering the actual situation in the northwest. In the future, whether the Hulie Army can defend Daibei will directly affect the progress of the entire northern war situation, and it is crucial for Hulie Mansion to stay in Datong.

Brother Richard was carrying an important mission. Whether this mission could be completed was related to the survival of the Dangxiang people, so he was nervous along the way. Seeing Li Hu with his wife out of the city, he suddenly felt better. This was a good start. Li Hu was able to greet him in person, which showed that Li Hu also needed to solve the problem of Xixia.

After greetings between the two sides, Li Hu introduced Tong Guan to Li Cha.

This is the first time that Brother Richard saw Tong Guan, an old opponent on the battlefield. Although the two are almost twice as old, on the northwest battlefield, the two played equally in the chess and matched each other, and they both respected each other very much.

"I never thought that I would meet you in this situation." When Brother Richard said this, his eyes were a little bitter. He and Tong Guan fought for more than ten years and had a victory or defeat. However, since Li Hu arrived in Daibei, the bad luck of the Xixia people suddenly came, and even the capital had to give up last year. The reason why Li Hu achieved such a record was directly related to Tong Guan's 20 years of fierce battle in the northwest. It was Tong Guan's continuous attack that exhausted the strength of the Xixia people, which led to him now being dying. Brother Richard held Tong Guan's hand, his heart was bleeding, and hatred was burning in his heart. If it weren't for this eunuch general, how could the Dangxiang people decline to such an extent?

Tong Guan smiled, but his eyes were very cold and even murderous. Seeing Brother Richard, he remembered the Battle of Shuofang, Liu Fa and 100,000 soldiers. That battle was Tong Guan's great shame. Although Li Hu wiped out the Capture Army in the Battle of Camel River, which was considered a revenge, but that battle was not a place where Tong Guan fought. The hatred in his heart was still accumulated. His greatest wish was to conquer Helan Mountain and wash away the deep hatred.

Tong Guan didn't say a word. Arrogant, reserved, indifferent, and disdainful. He shook his hand symbolically and then turned around and left.

The evening banquet was not solemn. Dong Xiaochou, Huang She, Yuwen Xuzhong and others sat for a while and said goodbye and left. This made Brother Richard feel heavy again. He noticed that the Song people and attached importance to the Western Xia. Li Hu went outside the city to greet him. It was probably because of the sake of the wife's ground.

After the banquet, Li Hu left behind Brother Richard and invited him to sit in the back hall. Wanyan Xingxing and Li Yuling were both there. There was also Wanyan Xingxing's daughter. This was a family dinner. No one mentioned those unpleasant things during the banquet. Brother Richard was obviously prepared. He hugged Li Hu and kissed him cutely. He gave him a precious jade pendant as a gift. Li Yuling cared about his family, but he didn't dare to ask. He was worried about destroying the atmosphere and making Li Hu angry. Brother Richard naturally knew his sister's thoughts. During the chat, he vaguely mentioned a few words and told her that the relatives were all very good. In fact, even if it was not good, Brother Richard would not say so that his sister would not live a hard life.

Late at night, Brother Richard said goodbye and Li Hu was with him all the way. Brother Richard knew that this was a rare opportunity to be alone with Li Hu. Some words were not said now, but there would be no chance to say in the future.

"When will you start to Bianjing?" Li Hu suddenly asked.

Brother Richard pretended to be pondering, took two steps, then stopped, faced Li Hu, and asked with a smile: "Do you think I need to go to Bianjing?"

Li Hu smiled and nodded, knowing Brother Richard's thoughts. Brother Richard's destination this time was Taiyuan, which shows that Xixia already had some understanding of the situation in the world. If the Dangxiang people want to get the best benefits in the future turmoil, the wisest and most correct way is to form alliances with Li Hu instead of discussing peace with Bian Jing.

"How could Bianjing ask you to preside over the military in the northwest?" Brother Richard was a little confused about this. Although he knew that the little emperor of Bianjing and Prince Yun had been competing for the imperial rule, now the little emperor won, Prince Yun was finished, and Bianjing ignored it.

Yu Li Hu's threat. Now that Li Hu is serving as the marshal of the Northwest, in fact, the threat to Bian Jing is unimaginable. How could Bian Jing do such an incredible thing? Could it be that Li Hu has begun to threaten Bian Jing? Or did the little emperor of Bian Jing simply lose control of the local area?

Li Hu didn't say anything, lowered his head with his hands and walked slowly.

Brother Richard remembered Tong Guan. Tong Guan's status in Bianjing is below one person and above ten thousand people, but today he is not only in Taiyuan, but also under Li Hu, which shows that Bianjing has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Bianjing has lost control of the northwest, has it also lost control of other places?" Brother Richard asked again.

"Is this very important?" Li Hu stopped and asked.

Brother Richard smiled slightly. This is indeed not important. What is important is that after Li Hu rose to the northwest and became the king of the northwest, what is his next goal? Is it Bianjing or Helan Mountain? This is the most important thing for Brother Richard.

"I want to know, what conditions do you need to evacuate all of Xixia?" All evacuation of Xixia is equivalent to restoring the borders that Song and Xia were once demarcated. Brother Richard spoke loudly.

Li Hu glanced at him and shook his head, "I can return it to you in Xiazhou and its surrounding areas, but not in other places."

"In this case, do you still have the energy to deal with two battlefields and fight on both sides?"

"Under the current situation, I still don't see any chance." Li Hu smiled, "So, I don't have the problem of fighting on both sides."

Don't see the opportunity? Brother Richard frowned and made some deductions in his mind at the fastest speed. This deduction began in Xixia. With more and more news, the deduction process and results also increased. But one thing is certain that the Jurchens did not only taste the sweetness of the invasion of the south, but also figured out the background of the Song people. The Jin army might launch a second attack, but the premise was that they must conquer Datong and control Daibei so that they could gather the main force to enter the Central Plains.

"Without a chance, we can create opportunities." Brother Richard tempted.

Li Hu turned his head and looked at him, waiting for him to continue talking.

"What happened in Bianjing and why the Song Dynasty could not stop the invasion of the Jin army. I do not understand these issues, but since the Jin envoy arrived at Helan Mountain and planned to attack the Song Dynasty again, this is enough to explain the problem." Richard said, "The Jin army went south to attack the Central Plains, and must firmly restrain you in Daibei. I think, if you want to find an opportunity, this opportunity is the second time the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty."

Li Hu was skeptical. The Dangxiang people had close ties with the people in the northwest, and it was not ruled out that the people in the northwest informed them. It is understandable that Brother Richard knew what happened in Bianjing so quickly, but the Jin army planned to launch a second attack so quickly, and Li Hu thought it was impossible. Even if the Jin envoy said such words on Helan Mountain, it was probably most likely to be deceiving. But the problem in front of him was that Xixia was always a threat that could not be escaped. The northwest had to mobilize about 100,000 troops to guard the border for this, which seriously limited the troops that the northwest could invest in the battlefield in Hebei.

Bianjing sent the plan for the Hebei War to Taiyuan urgently and asked the Tiger and Lieutenant Army to cooperate. Li Gang also wrote a letter to Taiyuan, detailing the current situation of Bianjing. Now the old emperor has been under house arrest in Longde Palace. The previously speculated confrontation between Bianjing and the southeast is no longer possible. At this moment, Bianjing decided to launch the Hebei War, which is also a way to avoid civil war. Taiyuan had to urgently formulate countermeasures, and joining the Hebei War was the only option. Joining the Hebei War, you have to invest in the main force. At this time, the threat from Xixia became a headache. Although this threat is not enough to affect the security of the northwest, it can restrain the forces of the northwest. If the northwest cannot throw all the main force into the Hebei battlefield, then as Li Gang said in the letter, the Hebei War will undoubtedly be defeated, and Bianjing will be subject to the second attack by the Jin army.

Brother Richard's understanding of the world situation cannot be as thorough as Bian Jing and Taiyuan, but with his ability, he could completely foresee the crisis of the Song Dynasty, so he rushed to Taiyuan and exchanged for land by forming an alliance, which was indeed a condition that Li Hu had to accept.

Li Hu sighed. Now the two emperors are in Bianjing. Did the Jingkang shame happen when the Jin army attacked Bianjing for the second time? The first attack of the Jin army completely shattered the gorgeous halo that covered the Song Dynasty. The Jin army no longer feared the Song Dynasty. The second attack would be unstoppable. If we want to stop the Jin army, the northwest would have to throw all our troops into the Hebei battlefield and fight the Jin army to a decisive battle.

This was a massive decisive battle, a decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of people, and a magnificent decisive battle. Li Hu felt suffocated and couldn't breathe.
