Chapter 73 Hopeless

Hu's expression surprised Zhe Keqiu and Zhang Jun.

It was the first time that Zhang Jun saw the famous Tiger King in the world. The huge gap in status made the powerful general quite nervous. At this time, he suddenly saw Li Hu showing an incredible expression, and he couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy. Undoubtedly, Li Hu had heard of himself that it would definitely be a good thing to leave a deep impression on this powerful and powerful figure.

"Do you know him?" Zhe Keqiu asked strangely. This is impossible. Zhang Jun has been in Hebei since the Northern Expedition, Shandong has suppressed the rebellion, and this year he fought against the Jin army on the Hebei battlefield. How could Li Hu know an intermediate officer?

Li Hu nodded subconsciously, then woke up and shook his head repeatedly.

It was this man who killed Yue Fei with Qin Hui? But he didn't look like a bad person no matter how he looked. Li Hu looked at Zhang Jun, tall and Junwei, as he was as famous, and his agile posture of him leading a hundred fierce soldiers out of the siege appeared in his mind... Perhaps his status has changed, and he has also changed, maybe he can't help himself. Generally speaking, a person like Zhang Jun who was born in poverty later became the commander of the First Army and one of the four famous generals can imagine the blood and sweat he had put in.

"I heard Zhongshuai talk about you." Li Hu hurriedly found a reason for himself, "Zhongshuai admires you very much, but it's a pity..."

"The lower official is incompetent and has not rescued Zhuang Zhong..." Zhang Jun's expression turned dark and his face looked sad.

Zhe Keque looked at Li Hu and felt that there was mystery. Li Hu's expression just now was too exaggerated, and that reason was nonsense. However, he had no intention of exploring these things now, and he had important tasks to come to Luoyang.

"Zhong Shuai is so unjust." Zhe Keqiudi's tone was filled with anger, "When Shuai was in the battle of Shuai Fang, Liu Shuai and the 100,000 army were wiped out. Who would have expected that a few years later, Shuai and the 30,000 army would suffer the same fate."

Li Hu looked at Zhe Keqiu thoughtfully.

Zhang Jun was a subordinate of Zhongshi Zhongdi. He was the only one left in the Qin Feng army in the northwest and more than 100 soldiers. At this time, Zhe Keqiu brought him to Luoyang. Of course, it was not to recommend such a talent, but to have other purposes. Thinking that the failure of the Shuofang War was directly related to Tong Guandi's command, Li Hu immediately realized that something was wrong with Bianjing.

If you want to talk about the local affairs of Bianjing, it is best not to have outsiders here. So Li Hu looked at Zhang Jun. That means you can find an excuse to leave. Zhang Jun turned a blind eye and still sat next to Zhe Keqiu.

"He is from the land of the family. The old general wants to use him. He will be recommended as the deputy general immediately." Zhe Keqiu said. "This time he will come to Luoyang. One is to meet you. The other is to represent the old general."

There was a strange look in Li Hu's eyes. No wonder he was able to become the commander of the country later. It turned out that he had a kind of family support behind him. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to make a name for himself as a result of his background.

"What happened to Bianjing?" Li Hu no longer avoided Zhang Jun and asked bluntly. "Tong Guan wants to attack immediately?"

"You are wrong." Zhe Keqiu smiled bitterly. "We are going to attack immediately."

Zhe Keqiu explained the story of Bian Jing in detail, and then Zhang Jun gave a detailed account of the story of Bian Jing in Hebei, telling Li Hu with a living example that if Bian Jing firmly grasps the command of the battlefield, no matter when this battle is fought, it will be defeated but not defeated.

The more Li Hu was exposed to things in the court, the more he hated him. These people fought for power and profit all day long, so what kind of war did they fight? What country should they protect? It seems that Zhao Kai and Zhao Heng are all unable to help them, and they do not have the courage of the King of Revival. They are all thinking about seizing power.

"What do you think about the two priests' reconciliation?" Li Hu asked.

"The reason I came to Luoyang is because the people in the northwest are now alone in Bianjing." Zhe Keqiu said angrily, "The water in Bianjing is too muddy and too deep, and you can't get up if you fall in. You need to lend a helping hand."

Li Hu sneered secretly. When he entered Bianjing, you and Tong Guan joined forces and did not allow me to go to Bianjing. Now you have fought with Tong Guan. If you can't fight Tong Guan, you will immediately change your face and ask me to help you defeat Tong Guan. Is this possible? "I have already made it clear to Ma Kuo. In the short term, I will not be able to mobilize the main force to enter Hebei to participate in the war."

"You have joined the war, will Bianjing give you the command of the battlefield?" Zhe Ke asked, "Bianjing pulled you out, it was just a delaying strategy. Can't you see it?"

Li Hu smiled and shook his head, "What do you think you should do? Kill Tong Guan?"

"That's the intention." Zhe Keqiu said without hesitation, "Tong Guan's mission is over, and he can leave this world."

Li Hu smiled but said nothing.

Tong Guan was indeed extraordinary. He was so powerful that hegemony in a short period of time that he suppressed the people of the Northwest to complain. However, the people of the Northwest are still in a state of division. They cannot speak in a single voice, either in Bianjing or on the battlefield in Hebei. This is the most troublesome thing for the people of the Northwest. If the hope of controlling power is vanished, they will naturally not give up. However, it is obviously inappropriate to engage in the second Mutiny of Bianjing at this time, and it is not in line with the interests of the Huliu Mansion.

At present, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army must take Shaanxi as quickly as possible, control Sichuan and Shu, and then wait for the opportunity to take Jinghu, thereby ensuring its foothold in the northwest. Therefore, Li Hu not only cannot kill Tong Guan, but instead uses Tong Guan's hands to provoke conflicts in Bian Jing, let Tong Guan fight with the people in the northwest, and let them bite dogs, so that the Tiger and Lieutenant Army can gain more time.

"How is the battlefield in Hebei?" Li Hu pondered for a long time and asked slowly, "What's the movement of the Jin army? Are there any signs of taking advantage of the situation to move south?"



The situation north of the land is very bad, and this is also one of the eager moves between Zhong Shuai and Yao Shuai." Zhe Keqiu said, "According to scouts, the Jin army is gathering troops in Baigou. If the Jin army is deployed, there will be a bloody battle in Hebei." Then he looked at Li Hu and asked carefully, "What is the news about Datong? We all think that the Jin army gathering troops in Baigou is directly related to your voluntary abandonment of Yunnei."

Li Hu didn't say anything, turned around and took out a letter from the low table on the pile of papers behind him and handed it to Zhe Keqiu, "This is a letter from Taiyuan, look at it."

The Tiger and Lieutenant Army voluntarily withdrew from Yunnei, while the Xia army quickly entered. This change was equivalent to telling the Jurchens that Li Hu had gone south and was very determined to go south. Li Hu went south and would bring a severe impact to the Song Dynasty. Even if Bian Jing accepted the facts, he would have to fight twelve points of spiritual defense against Li Hu. In this way, Bian Jing fell into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides, which immediately gave the Jin army a second chance to attack south.

Of course, the Jurchens would not miss it, so Dai Beidi Zonghan immediately contacted the Xia army in Yunnei. The alliance between Jin and Xia was still valid. Brother Richard pretended to agree to join forces to attack together, and urgently reported Datong to Datong, asking Datong to be careful. Brother Richard just sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. He was powerless and had no strength to help the Jin army, so he did not offend the two and waited to take advantage.

The Tiger Lie Army retreated to Datong, and its defense line contracted, like a big iron-shelled turtle. It would be too difficult for the Jin army to conquer this city. In addition, Zong Han was not patient. This time, Zong Wang's Eastern Route Army not only achieved impressive results, but also understood the depth of the Song people. Therefore, Huanglong Mansion had long decided to launch a second attack. Zong Han had to participate in the second attack. With his current situation, if there was no record again and again, his power in the Western Tent would definitely be hit, and he himself might be driven out of the center of Huanglong Mansion. Therefore, he continued to besiege Datong with an army to restrain the Tiger Lie Army, and his main force went south to Hebei.

Li Hu went south with only two goals, one was Taiyuan and the other was Chang'an. However, Chang'an was close to Bianjing and was also the territory of the Northwest Army. It was obviously unrealistic for Li Hu to enter Shaanxi in such a short time. Wanyan, Zong Han, Zong Wang and others therefore determined that Li Hu's main force was in Taiyuan.

Li Hu's landlord was in Taiyuan. When the Jin army went south to Hebei again to attack Bianjing, its flanks would be very dangerous. If Li Hu commanded the Hulien Army to cross the Taihang Mountains and enter Hebei, the Jin army would be very likely to be cut into two pieces by him. From Yanjing to Bianjing, more than a thousand miles, once the two armies in front and back were cut off by Li Hu, it would be a disaster for the Jin army.

After careful discussion, Wanyan, Zong Han and Zong Wang decided to change their strategy, focusing on plundering to actually occupying land, and long-distance raids to step-by-step advancement.

There are four routes in Hebei. The line along the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain is Zhending Road, and the line along the lower reaches of the Yellow River is Hejianfu Road. The middle is Zhendingfu Road, and the south of these three routes is Damingfu Road. (There are two distinctions between Jingwei Road and Transportation Road in the Song Dynasty. For example, Hebei is divided into four routes according to Jingwei Road, and the four routes according to the transfer route are two routes, namely Hedong East Road and Hedong East Road. The same is true in other places. For example, Shaanxi is divided into Yongxing Jun Road and Qinfeng Road, but the Jingwei Road is divided into six routes.) Now Dingzhou Road (i.e. Zhongshan) and Hejianfu Road (in the past called Gaoyang Road) are under the control of the Jin army. This time, as long as the Zhendingfu Road is captured, it will actually occupy the entire northern part of Hebei. Then the Jin army advances together and kills Damingfu Road, so that the entire Hebei can be actually controlled.

After the Jin army completed this attack step, they immediately deployed heavy troops in Zhending and Handan to block the Tiger and Fiery Army in Taiyuan. Their main force crossed the river to attack Bianjing.

The most uncertain factor in this plan is what Li Hu’s real goal after he went south to Taiyuan. If Li Hu’s goal was Bian Jing and to seize the great Song Dynasty, then he would have common interests with the Jin Dynasty. Both sides could sit down and have a good talk and agree to a covenant to divide the great Song Dynasty. If Li Hu was so crazy and was determined to be the guardian dog of the great Song Dynasty and guard the great Song Dynasty’s destiny, he would have to fight to the end.

For this reason, the Jin army sent envoys from Dingzhou, Hebei to Taiyuan, and the envoy was Wuyan.

Before leaving Datong, Li Hu quietly told Luo Sinan. Last time he saw Wuyan in Daibei, although he had no chance to speak, Li Hu still read his thoughts from Wuyan's eyes. He had a premonition that he felt that Wuyan would definitely return to the Song Dynasty. Wuyan might have no relatives in the Song Dynasty, so if Wuyan wanted to come back, he would definitely go to Hulie's Mansion.

After Wuyan arrived in Taiyuan, Luo Sinan spoke out bluntly and asked him to stay on behalf of Li Hu. Li Hu was determined to seize the great Song Dynasty, but before that, he still had to preserve the great Song Dynasty. So Wuyan heard that Li Hu was determined to guard the great Song Dynasty, so there was no reason to return to the Jin Dynasty. What did he do when he went back? Was he helping the Jurchens destroy the great Song Dynasty?
