In the first year of Jianxing in the Song Dynasty (1126 AD), August.
=
On the first day of August, the emperor left the capital and the emperor personally led the expedition. Sima Zhuban in front of the hall and the guards in front of the hall were personally followed.
The head of the Privy Council, Zhe Yanzhi, was ordered to welcome the Han King Li Hu.
Li Hu led his army into the capital and marched towards Zhongmu. Zhe Yanzhi ran wildly and intercepted Li Hu in Zhengqu Town at dusk.
"Your Majesty was leading the army out of the capital this morning, and the emperor personally led the army to the army." Zhe Yan was sweating profusely. After seeing Li Hu, he didn't even bother to sweat and said panting.
Li Hu smiled. This result was better than he expected. At the critical moment, the emperor and Tong Guan still did not dare to confront him. Li Hu was a little proud and asked with a smile: "Where is Tong Guan?"
"Tong Guan was with the emperor, and the two prime ministers Zhang Chang and Yuwen Xuzhong acted as state affairs.
”
Li Hu slightly pointed his head, exchanged glances with Chai Yun and Yuanye beside him, and continued to ask: "Where are the food and grass weapons we gave us?"
"It is being transported to Liyang."
Li Hu focused his mind and thought. The whip in his hand slowly turned and he didn't say anything.
"Is there any latest news on the battlefield in Hebei?" Chai Yun asked.
"Li Gang came to write. Yue Fei led his army to kill: surrounded by the Jin army. He is currently blocking the enemy on the front line of Xingzhou." Zhe Yan looked worried and his tone was very heavy. "Zhong Shidao fell ill in Daming Mansion. Zhe Keqiu was leading his army north to rescue Yao Gu."
"Yao Gu is still persisting in Shenzhou?" Chai Yun asked in shock.
"According to the scout investigation, Yao Shuai was still standing in Jing'an City and fighting with the Jin army." Zhe Yan sighed. "But Yao Shuai's food and grass weapons are limited. According to our estimates, he can't hold on for long. Once the food and grass are exhausted, he has to break through. At this moment, the Jin army surrounded him. If Yao Shuai forcibly breaks through, he will definitely be wiped out without a rescue site."
"When will the troops of Yang Keshi, Yang Weizhong, Yao Pingzhong, Liu Guangshi, Zhao Ming and Yang Zhi of the Northwest Army cross the river to the north?" Chai Yun asked immediately. The main force of the Tiger Lie Army entering the Hebei battlefield was only 70,000 people and the troops were obviously insufficient, so Chai Yun hoped that all the Northwest Army stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River would cross the river to the north, and the two armies would join forces to fight.
Zhe Yan looked at Li Hu and frowned slightly, "They will cross the river with the emperor to the north." The emperor finally left the capital, and the plan of the Northwest people finally succeeded. It was the best opportunity to kill Tong Guan. Before killing Tong Guan, these Northwest troops stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River could not go north in a hurry. All the Northwest troops arrived in Hebei. What would the Northwest people use to kill Tong Guan's authority?
"What? Do you think that tens of thousands of people can rescue Yao Gu?" Chai Yun pretended to be surprised. "Zhe envoy, Yao Gu brought tens of thousands of people and horses and it is said that he is holding on. The Jin army cannot catch up in an urgent situation. He must surround Yao Gu and attack our rescue army while accusing them of the Jin army. Yue Fei was trapped in Zhaozhou by the Jin army. This is a good example. Zhe Keqiu went north alone and went deeper alone, which may repeat Yue Fei's mistakes. The court should issue an order, asking Yang Keshi to lead the army to attack north as quickly as possible to support and support Zhe Keqiu."
"Your Majesty insists on keeping them to guard the capital and protect Bianjing." Zhe Yanzhi also pretended to be helpless and sad, "The only one who can reverse the situation in Hebei now is the Huli Army."
"Shuai Dong Shuai, Khitan King, and Bohai King are still in Huaizhou. Even if they travel day and night, it will take about ten days to arrive at the Hulu River line." Chai Yun looked desperate, "It's too late to be sure."
Zhe Yan's face looked like ice, his mouth kept twitching, and his eyes were staring at Li Hu.
"Send the order." Li Hu turned to Yuanye and said, "Please ask Dong Shuai, Shuai Hu, Khitan King, and King Hai to lead the army to Liyang immediately, waiting for my attack order."
Yuanye was about to write an order, but Li Hu stopped him again, "Say Yue Fei, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, and Luo Lan gathered troops to advance towards Jizhou, meet with Zhe Keqiu's troops, and fight into Shenzhou at all costs to rescue Yao Gu."
Zhe Yanzhi's face turned warmer and his eyes showed gratitude.
Chai Yun immediately raised objections, "Yue Fei had just withdrawn from Zhaozhou, and the Jin army was chasing him and then transferred them to the battlefield of Jizhou. Then Xingzhou will definitely be lost troops and can be killed directly, threatening the Yellow River defense line."
"Shuai Dong will soon arrive at Liyang Keshi's army on the south bank of the Yellow River. Even if Dan is lost, the Yellow River defense line will be solid." Li Hu said, "Now Li Gang and Liu are in charge of Handan, and the city is tall and strong. In addition, I heard that Zong Ze, the governor of Cizhou, has recruited a large number of Hebei rebels during this period. With these people, I think the city can not only be defended, but also dragged the Jin army firmly under the city."
"General General, Yue Fei's troops will fight continuously, and the losses must be very large. You can imagine the result of using such an army to rescue Yao Gu." Chai Yun advised him again, "Even if we rescue Yao Gu in the end, our losses will definitely be far greater than the rescued army, and we will not be worth the losses."
"I know." Li Hu said, "We may sacrifice 40,000 to 50,000 to rescue 10,000 or 20,000 people, but this generation is worth. The Hu Lie Army and the Northwest Army are brothers of life and death, and brothers of life and death must never be abandoned. Even if they die, we
Take their bodies back.”
Zhe Yanzhi was moved by Li Hu's words. Although he knew that Li Hu was not such a person and knew that Li Hu had other purposes, he was still moved by this sentence and burst into tears.
Chai Yun was speechless. He knew Li Hu's purpose, and Li Hu wanted to use this battle to use the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to bribe the hearts of the Northwest Army and the soldiers of the Northwest.
Li Hu waved at Yuanye. Yuanye turned his horse's head and went down to pass the order immediately.

It was dark and the Tiger Guard stopped to rest. Because he wanted to arrive at the emperor's camp as soon as possible, Li Hu had to take the army to travel overnight, so the rest time was only one hour.
Li Hu, Zhe Yanzhi, Chai and others surrounded the map, and their destination was Fengqiu. The emperor would meet with Li Hu in Fengqiu and then head north together.
Li Hu ate something casually, then pulled Zhe Yanzhi aside and asked seriously: "Have the emperor decided to cross the river?"
"What do you think?" Zhezhi asked back.
Li Hu smiled, with a hint of mocking in his eyes, "Is Bian Jing still secretly discussing peace with the Jin Kingdom?"
Yanzhi nodded, "Qin Hui returned from Luoyang yesterday, and today he went north to Yanjing."
When talking about Qin Hui, Li Hu couldn't help but talk, "Did this person always advocate peace talks?"
"This man is very scheming and wild. He is very skilled in the intrigues of the officialdom and is a rare talent." Zhe Yan said, "He was from Ning, Zhejiang Province. He passed the Jinshi in the fifth year of Zhenghe (1115 AD). Because he took advantage of the Southeastern people, he always wanted to squeeze into Cai Jing's fucking, but his qualifications were too shallow, so he only worked as a scholar in Taixue. However, because of this, Cai Jing was not implicated after the fall of the state and continued to serve as an official in the capital. At the beginning of the year, the Jin army surrounded Bianjing. He was one of the envoys of peace talks. At that time, he insisted on ceding Yanshan Prefecture all the way, but he did not succeed in the end. Because of the successful peace talks, he was promoted and became the censor of the palace. This time the court and the Jin Kingdom secretly negotiated peace talks, and he was once again an envoy of peace talks, but he insisted on delaying and was unwilling to ced Hebei to the Jin Kingdom and rule with the Jin Kingdom.
”
"Oh?" Li Hu was very surprised, "So, this person is not bad."
"As an official, the first priority is to take into account your future. Once the ceasing of Hebei becomes a fact, Qin Hui's future will be very slim, which is obvious, so of course Qin Hui can delay it if he can." Zhe Yan said straight, "But the civil officials of Bianjing generally insist on peace talks. In their opinion, you are the most dangerous enemy of the Song Dynasty. So this time you took the Tiger Guard Army and threatened to enter Bianjing. Almost all the civil officials immediately submitted a memorial to the emperor to personally lead the army. The emperor originally wanted to delay it, but the court begged him to personally lead the army, and he could not delay it at all."
Li Hu laughed, "Is the emperor very brave? At this time, the emperor was in charge of the army, so he was not afraid of something in Bianjing? I thought he would delay for a while."
"What's going to happen in Bianjing is indeed there." Zhe Yan came to Li Hu and said in a low voice, "At dusk yesterday, Tong Guan went to Longde Palace."
Li Hu was secretly surprised. Li Shishi said it right. The old emperor would never give in easily. It seems that something is going to happen in Bianjing.
"Tong Guan went to see the old emperor, what's wrong with this?" Li Hu asked calmly.
"I got the news that Tong Guan planned to take the emperor to the southeast to rebuild the court." Zhe Yanzhi said, "Once this peace talk is successful, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom will be divided into rivers and governed, and Bianjing will no longer be suitable for capital. Moreover, the situation is very bad now, and the emperor's migration to the southeast is also a general trend."
"So, do you believe this news is true, right?" Li Hu pretended to be surprised, his face changed drastically. "The emperor and Tong Guan turned around and ran away. We were going to fight with the Jin Kingdom. They were sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight and waiting for an opportunity to go out. This is really a good plan." Then he glared and asked sternly, "Why are you hiding it from me? I didn't tell me until now?"
"I only know," Zhe Yan said, "You forced the emperor to lead the army and intend to hold the emperor hostage. Tong Guan immediately panicked, and then planned to give up on the emperor and lead the old emperor south."
"This is all your guess." Li Hu sneered, "Your purpose is to kill Tong Guan."
"Don't you want to kill Tong Guan?" Zhe Yanzhi asked, "If you don't kill Tong Guan, can we control Bian Jing?"
"Are you a person from the northwest controlling Bianjing, or am I controlling Bianjing?" Li Hu asked.
"Of course we are joining forces to control Bianjing."
"But I don't want to go to Bianjing yet." Li Hu said solemnly, "If we can't defeat the Jurchens on the Hebei battlefield, even if we control Bianjing, we can't hold on for a few days."
