In the early morning of the fifth day, Li Hu was flying and Yang met Tong Guan.
On the morning of the 16th, Li Hu and Zhe Keqiu met in the water.
The situation on the battlefield in Hebei made Li Hu both helpless and angry. "There is only Liu and Yue Fei's 50,000 troops on the Zhending Mansion, and Yao Gu, Jie Qian, Fan Chun and Ma Zhong's 50,000 and 60,000 troops on the Tuohe line. These troops are not enough to block the Jin army. Don't you know?"
"The Prime Minister, Tong Guan garrisoned all his troops on the south bank of the Yellow River. If the Northwest Army transferred all the troops to the Tuohe Line, who would guard the capital? It depends on Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangshi and Xin Xingzong? Can they defend Bianjing?" Zhe Keqiu spread all his resentment on Tong Guan's head. "If we don't kill Tong Guan, we will not be able to command the battlefield, and there will be no way to fight the war in Hebei."
"What should I do if Tong Guan kills Tong Guan? Who will enter Bian Jing? You will enter Bian Jing?" Li Hu didn't want to go around the corner with Zhe Keqiu, and directly talked about the key points, "You entered Bian Jing and controlled the authority. What help will it help the battlefield in Hebei? Can you take over all Tong Guan's army? If you want to stabilize Bian Jing, what army will you use to fight in Hebei?"
"We can not enter Bianjing for the time being." Zhe Keqiu was not polite and directly negotiated terms, "Enterprise Prime Minister should not enter Bianjing. The Tiger and the Northwest Army joined hands to defeat the Jin army first, and then talk about entering Bianjing.
”
Li Hu immediately understood the meaning of Zhe Keqiu. If the Northwest Army did not enter Bianjing and the Tiger Martyrs did not enter Bianjing, then he could only lure Tong Guan outside the city of Bianjing, and lure Tong Guan outside the city of Bianjing, and then design to kill Tong Guan.
"Tong Guan will not be fooled." Li Hu wanted to tell Zhe Keqiu that the emperor and Tong Guan were preparing to move south to Jiangning. He immediately thought that once the news was exposed, the Northwest Army might jump over the wall to launch the Bianjing mutiny, so he swallowed the words again, "The strength of the Northwest Army is far greater than that of Tong Guan. How dare Tong Guan take the risk to the Hebei battlefield?"
"The battlefield in Hebei is full of sand, and Bianjing is unwilling to give up the command of the battlefield. How to fight this battle?" Zhe Keqiu sneered, looked at Li Hu, and said word by word, "At this time, only the governor asked the emperor to personally fight, otherwise this battle would be defeated."
The emperor was personally expeditioning? Li Hu's eyes suddenly lit up. A good idea.
The emperor was in charge of the army. Tong Guan had to accompany him. The people in the northwest took this opportunity to lure Tong Guan to the battlefield in Hebei and killed him. Then he took the opportunity to hold the emperor hostage and seize the authority of the Song Dynasty. It was a good idea. But the problem was that this method was extremely beneficial to the people in the northwest and was not good to the Hulie Mansion. The emperor was hostage by the people in the northwest. It would be very difficult for Li Hu to achieve his goal again.
"Will the emperor agree to the imperial commander's personal expedition?" Li Hu thought it was impossible. The emperor and Tong Guan had already planned to move south to Jiangning. At this time, they still had the intention to lead the imperial commander's personal expedition? Are they full and full?
"If the prime minister immediately leads his army into the battlefield in Hebei and forces the emperor to march in person, I think the emperor dare not refuse." Zhe Keqiu said with a laugh.
Li Hu stared at the smug and cursed himself secretly. He was now staring at me and asked me to go to the Hebei battlefield to fight the Jin army to die. You are sitting behind your back to enjoy the fruits. You are also calling it a sharing of authority. Thinking that I was cheated on the earth?
Li Hu remained silent. He carefully weighed the pros and cons.
Now that the interests of all parties are too deeply entangled and the situation is too chaotic, it is a game of deadly chess, and the people in the northwest have to abandon their sons to revive. The people in the northwest have been fucked and finally decided to abandon the killing of Tong Guan. The emperor and Tong Guan are more courageous and simply abandon the Bianjing and go far to the southeast. This is to abandon the middle game and give up a big dragon. Li Hu lost the lead and fell into a passive position. He was dragged into this "abandoned son" battle with both losses and losses.
Whether the emperor abandoned Bianjing or the people in the northwest abandoned the killing of Tong Guan, the first condition was to drag Li Hu into the battlefield in Hebei, otherwise he would not be able to "abandon his son". Even if he forcibly "abandoned his son", it would be a loss. In the end, Li Hu was in vain and stared at him, or he might as well take advantage of the Jurchens.
Li Hu had to agree if he didn't agree. If he didn't know that the emperor and Tong Guan decided to abandon Bian Jing, he could still refuse the people in the northwest, but now he could not refuse. He had to participate in order to ensure the safety of Bian Jing. Without Bian Jing, the Central Plains fell into a melee. Who dared to assert that he could turn the tide?
However, once Li Hu enters the Hebei battlefield, the three parties will fight to the death on one battlefield. If they are not careful, they will lose all the game, and the final winner is the Jurchens.
This is so terrible. Although Li Hu likes to live in death and fight with his back, the situation today is too dangerous and he can't see the situation clearly. He doesn't know where the "water" is. He is surrounded by enemies. In the past, Li Hu was burning his boats, either winning or losing, but today he doesn't know how to win or lose. He can only adapt to the situation and deal with the moves. This is too dangerous.
Li Hu entered the Central Plains for the first time and fought in the Central Plains for the first time, and also felt the terror of the Central Plains battlefield for the first time.
"Okay, according to your plan, kill Tong Guan." Li Hu touched the short beard under his jaw, and his eyes showed murderous aura. "I went to Yang to see Tong Guan and forced the emperor to lead the army in person."

Late at night on the 16th, the sun.
Tong Guan was sitting in a carriage, traveling day and night, and rushed to the scene. He also
When I arrived at Li Hu, I wanted to drag Li Hu into the Hebei battlefield as soon as possible.
After the two met, while eating, they discussed the situation on the map on the table.
"The people in the northwest are arrogant and domineering, and do not obey Li Gang's command at all." Tong Guan sighed and said helplessly, "Now the Jin army has attacked full-scale, and its main force is attacking Zhending, while other troops are approaching the Hutuo River. If nothing unexpected happens, four or five days later, the Jin army will cross the Tuo River and launch an attack on Daming Prefecture. Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu's army suffered heavy losses in the last local war. This time they will not fight to the death in the Tuo River. They will definitely retreat to Daming Prefecture. In this way, Zhending Prefecture will be surrounded by the Jin army, and Liu and Yue Fei cannot defend Zhending, on the front line."
Tong Guan pointed to the Yellow River on the map and pointed it hard a few times, "We have more than 100,000 troops on the front line of the Yellow River. It is no problem to defend the Yellow River, but if the Yellow River is defended, Datong will be in danger." Tong Guan looked up at Li Hu and continued, "Once the Jin army occupied Hebei, it will inevitably launch an attack on the Taihang Mountains line to restrain Taiyuan's troops and help the Jin army in the north attack Datong. If Datong is lost, Taiyuan will be unable to protect, and the situation in the northwest will be in trouble."
Tong Guan is threatening Li Hu. If you don’t join the war in Hebei, then I will withdraw all my troops to the southern part of the Yellow River, and let the Jin army siege Datong and threaten Taiyuan. I have more than 100,000 troops guarding the capital. Even if you station troops in Luoyang, I will not be able to pose a substantial threat to Bianjing.
Li Hu admitted that the situation was as Tong Guan analyzed, Hu Lie Mansion was now very passive, and the emergence of this passive situation was directly related to Tong Guan's careful planning. Tong Guan's trap was well dug, forcing Li Hu to send troops to Hebei. Li Hu arrived at the battlefield in Hebei. The Hu Lie Army was strong and the people in the northwest were not allowed to cooperate. In this way, the emperor and Tong Guan could get rid of the Hu Lie Army and the Northwest Army and retreat to Jiangnan smoothly.
"There are not many troops I can bring to the battlefield in Hebei and cannot solve the fundamental problem."
Li Hu also analyzed his difficulties for Tong Guan. The Tiger Lieutenant Army was about 250,000, of which 100,000 were in Datong, 30,000 were in Taiyuan, 20,000 were in Chang'an, 40,000 were in Hebei, and only 60,000 were in Luoyang.
"I can bring these 60,000 troops into the Hebei battlefield. With Yue Fei and Song Jiang's army, there are about 100,000 troops." Li Hu said, "but the 100,000 troops obviously cannot stop the Jin army."
"From the current deployment of the Jin army on the Hebei battlefield, they have at least 300,000 troops, so we need more troops to defeat them."
"Now, Zhong Shidao, Yao Gu still has about 50,000 or 60,000 troops. Zhe Keqiu and Yang Keshi's Northwest Army are about 120,000, all on the front line of the Yellow River. If we can pull Zhe Keqiu and Yang Keshi's army to the front line of the Hutuo River, we can fight the Jin army." Li Hu spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "Li Gang can't command them, can I do it? Tell me, who can command them? Can you?"
Tong Guan pondered silently. Li Hu's tone had loosened, but he needed battlefield command, and battlefield command must not be given to Li Hu.
"Please ask the emperor to personally fight for the battle." Li Hu saw that Tong Guan did not speak, so he simply made it clear, "The emperor's army personally fight for the battle and personally commanded the battlefield can solve all problems. Moreover, once the war in Hebei is won and the emperor will build his achievements, the throne will be solid.
”
Li Hu's words have no intention of negotiation. The implication is that I can go to the battlefield in Hebei, but the emperor must lead the army in person, otherwise there will be no talks.

Tong Guan frowned deeply with white eyebrows and looked extremely solemn.
The emperor personally led the army to fight, which seemed to solve all local problems, boost morale and gain the hearts of the people, but the things behind this were complicated.
How did the emperor come from the throne? After winning the Hebei War, the Tiger and the Northwest Army made outstanding achievements. The emperor could still prevent them from entering Bianjing? Li Hu and the people in the Northwest arrived in Bianjing and would definitely seize power. The emperor could still hold a firm foothold? What's more serious is that Tong Guan could cover the sky with one hand?
What if he loses? Not only will Bianjing not be able to defend it, but even the idea of digging a river with the Jin Kingdom was ruined. Besides, who was Li Hu? Why did he fight to the death on the battlefield in Hebei? For him, whether he wins or loses, he will have to gain the greatest benefit for himself. In other words, Li Hu's goal is Bianjing, which is the great Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty has no way to defeat him now, so he can only use the power of the Jurchens to destroy him. Then the Song army takes advantage of the momentum to counterattack and drives the scarred Jurchens out of the territory of the Song Dynasty.
It is precisely from this point that Tong Guan planned to move the capital to Jiangnan from the day the emperor ascended the throne. His strategy of reviving was to retreat to Jiangnan to accumulate strength, negotiate peace with the Jin Kingdom to kill Li Hu, then fight the northern expedition, and recover lost territory.
The situation is moving forward according to the trajectory he designed. At this time, Li Hu suddenly proposed to ask the emperor to lead the army in person, which disrupted Tong Guan's established deployment.
