The tiger achieved its goal and knew that the contradiction was intensified. Bianjing was going to be in chaos. He took the opportunity to watch the tiger fight, but the premise was that he had to guard the Daming Mansion...
Li Hu ordered that Dong Xiaochou immediately led his army to Xiangzhou to support He Daming Mansion, while Yang Keshi led his army across the river and went north to support Daming Mansion.
The emperor issued an order to severely punish Li Gang, and dismissed him from the Hebei Xuanfu Envoy, demoted him to serve as the marching marching of the Northwest Marshal's Office. He dismissed him from the Deputy Envoy of Zhong Shidao from Hebei Xuanfu, and ordered him to return to Bianjing immediately to report his duties.
Li Hu also served as the Hebei Xuanfu Envoy, in charge of Hebei military affairs. Dong Xiaochou and Liu were the deputy envoys on the left and right.
The emperor wanted to return to Beijing to preside over the relocation matter. This reason was high-sounding and Li Hu could not stop it. However, Li Hu knew that something was going to happen in Bianjing and could not let the emperor go at this time. Therefore, Li Hu asked the emperor not to return to Beijing for the time being, and stayed in the camp for half a month first to inspire the morale of the soldiers on the front line. Since the emperor personally led the army and was on the edge of the Yellow River, he was at least doing his own attitude. Now he turned around and left the bad impression on the soldiers on the front line of the soldiers who were afraid of death and escape. This was not conducive to morale, but also damaged the emperor's reputation.
The emperor was hesitant and promised him that he would definitely send him back to Beijing in half a month, and Tong Guan also patted his chest and promised that he would come to welcome the emperor in half a month. Zhang Bangchang and Zhe Yanzhi knew that the emperor and Tong Guan were secretly planning to flee the southeast. Both of them now decided to kill Tong Guan. In order to prevent accidents and to ensure the emperor's safety, they also tried their best to persuade the emperor to stay in the camp for the time being.
In the afternoon of the same day, Bangchang, Yuwen Xu, Tong Guan and Zhe Yanzhi bid farewell to the emperor and returned to Beijing together, summoning ministers from various prefectures to discuss the relocation of the capital.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Yuan held the emperor's camp and reported to the emperor about the battle situation in Hebei. The emperor was kind to appease and issued an order to bury Yao Gu, Liu Zhen and other generals, and generously polite the soldiers who died in battle to reward Wang Yuan, Wu and others break through the siege.
Later, Wang Yuan left the Emperor's Camp, the army camp in front of the palace, and visited Liu Yanqing.
Wang Yuan was originally a subordinate of Liu Yanqing. He and Yang Keshi, Xin Xingzong, Jiao Anjie and others used to serve under Liu Yanqing's tent. After the failure of the Northern Expedition, Liu Yanqing was dismissed from office. Wang Yuan and others led their troops to Hebei, Shandong and other places to suppress the rebellion. Yang Keshi, Jiao Anjie, Cookie and others led their troops back to the northwest. Liu Yanqing's group immediately split Yang Keshi, Yang Weizhong and others became the leading figures of the new generation of land in the northwest. Xin Xingzong, Wang Yuan and others continued to follow Liu Yanqing. They were therefore pacified by Tong Guandi. They served as the commander of the commander-in-chief of Hebei and Shandong.
Han Zhong worked under Wang Yuan for a few years and achieved training from the fifth-rank local regiment. He was a senior officer from the fifth-rank local rank. This shows that Tong Guan valued Liu Yanqing and his group.
Yes. When he met this time, Wang Yuan told Liu Yanqing that he asked him to take the interests of the northwest generals as the most important thing and rebel Tong Guan and kill Tong Guan.
Mr. Zhong personally wrote a letter to Liu Yanqing. In the past ten years, the Northern Army has suffered unprecedented heavy losses. The more than 400,000 Northwest Army has only 100,000 people left. For more than 100,000 Northwest Generals have survived by force for more than 100,000. Now the Northwest Army is in danger. The Northwest Army is in danger. The Northwest Army has fallen into the hands of Li Hu. So what should I do if the Northwest Generals survive?
There are two ways. One is to surrender to Li Hu. Li Hu will definitely seize the great Song Dynasty. In the future, Li Hu will ascend the throne and become emperor. The Northwest General is the founding father and can enjoy the glory and wealth of generations. The other way is to continue to be loyal to the Song Dynasty. But the premise is that the Northwest General must control the authority of the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, with the current force of the Northwest people, there will be no place to set up a cone in the court in the future. What is even more terrifying is that the current situation of Bianjing and the current situation of the world, the Song Dynasty may be about to destroy the country. Therefore, if the Northwest people want to protect the Song Dynasty, they must control the court and control their own destiny.
The second way of choosing a place for the people of the Northwest is to do their best to protect the Song Dynasty. Then, firmly control the fate of the people of the Northwest. In order to achieve this goal, the people of the Northwest must form alliances with civil servants of Bianjing. Combining the two forces into one. Then kill Tong Guan, control the court, and grasp the power of the Song Dynasty.
The people in the northwest are currently in a state of division. Liu Yanqing, Xin Xingzong, and Zhang Shizheng are all Tong Guan's people. If the people in the northwest launch a mutiny in Bianjing, the people in the northwest will kill each other, and the consequence of killing each other will be to hand over the Song Dynasty to Li Hu. Therefore, Zhong Shidao begged Liu Yanqing that for the common interests of the generals in the northwest, everyone gave up their past hatred and worked together to defend the Song Dynasty.

Liu Yanqing pondered and said nothing.
The decline of the Northwest Army was too fast. First, Liu Fa was wiped out in the Battle of Shuofang, and then Liu Zhongwu died of illness. Then the Northwest Army was defeated in succession. Zhong Shidao and Liu Yanqing were dismissed one after another. The Northwest Army suffered a heavy blow. Although Zhe Yanzhi once served as the commander of the Northwest Army, Zhe Yanzhi's reputation was limited and he could not bring the Northwest Army together. After the Jin army invaded, the Northwest Army rushed to the battlefield in Hebei one after another. Zhong Shizhong, Yao Gu, Liu Zhen, and Wang fell one after another, and the Northwest Army lost more than 100,000 yuan. It can be said that the Northwest Army has fallen to a low point so far. If we don't try to save it, the Northwest Army will be over. When the Northwest Army is over, what will the Song Dynasty use to resist the Jin army and what will it use to stop Li Hu? After the Song Dynasty is over, can the Northwest Army be safe? Can the Northwest Generals continue to enjoy wealth and honor?
Tong Guan, he has already set sun and has become history. Sometimes, at his age, he may die at any time. When Tong Guan dies, the power of Tong Guan will disappear, and those who follow Tong Guan will be destroyed. Therefore, in the long run, Liu Yanqing should choose to return to the northwest, and should reconcile with the northwest generals and work together to protect the Song Dynasty, so as to maximize the interests of the Liu family and the interests of the people in the northwest.
"Do you know why Zhong Shuai wrote this letter?" Wang Yuan asked.
Liu Yanqing is indeed a little confused. For more than ten years, the relationship between Liu Yanqing and the Zhe family, the Zhe family and the Yao family has been very tense. He belongs to the Tong Guan family, while the Zhe, the Zhe and the Yao family are both Tong Guan family. The two factions are fighting openly and secretly, and tit-for-tat things are emerging one after another, forming deep hatreds. Although the Northwest General Sect has declined rapidly now, it is very difficult to make up for the cracks between the two sides overnight.
"Zhong Shuai can't do it anymore." Wang Yuan looked dim and looked painful in his eyes. "Since Xiao Zhong Shuai and the Zong family army were wiped out, Zhong Shuai was overly sad and fell ill immediately. This time I went to Daming Mansion to report that Zhong Shuai heard that Yao Shuai was killed and 70,000 northwest soldiers died on the battlefield, and immediately vomited blood and fainted."
Liu Yanqing was very surprised, "Can you not be able to do it?"
Wang Yuan's eyes were slightly red, he held back his tears and nodded slightly, "It's estimated that it will not take long."
Liu Yanqing was stunned and speechless for a while.
Among the Northwest Generals and Sects, the most famous one is Zhe Keshi, who died of illness more than 20 years ago. The second is Zhong Shidao, Yao Gu, Liu Zhongwu, Liu Fa and Liu Yanqing. Now Yao Gu, Liu Zhongwu, and Liu Fa are no longer there. If Zhong Shidao dies, then Liu Yanqing is the only one left. Originally, Zhong Shizhong could still compete with Liu Yanqing, but Zhong Shizhong died in battle. No one can compete with Liu Yanqing in the entire Northwest Generals and Sects in terms of qualifications, seniority or record.
"The entire Zon family army was not in the army, the entire Zon family army was wiped out, the entire Yao family army was wiped out, and Liu Fa was wiped out in Shuofang. Now your Liu family army is left in the entire northwest." Wang Yuan whispered, "Yang Keshi, Yang Weizhong was originally your subordinate, and I was also your subordinate. Liu Guangshi and Liu Guangguo are all your sons. At present, among the 100,000 Northwest Army, at least 60% of the Northwest soldiers loyal to you account for. Zhuang Zhong said, no matter whether you are willing to kill Tong Guan, the general of the Northwest Army will be you in the future. He will call the Zhe family, the Zhong family, and the Yang family. All the Northwest generals will follow your leader and follow your orders."
Liu Yanqing knew why Zhong Shidao wrote a letter and why Zhong Shidao believed that he would betray Tong Guan, because in the future, the commander of the Northwest Army would be himself. After the Northwest people cooperated with the civil servants of Bianjing to kill Tong Guan, the person who actually controlled the authority of the Song Dynasty was also himself, and he could not refuse at all.
"Can I see Zhuan again?"
Wang Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Do you have to be handsome?"
Liu Qing thought for a moment and immediately made up his mind, "Does Zhe Yanzhi know?"
"Shishuai has already sought Zhe Yanzhi's opinions first, and Zhe Yan accepted it directly." Wang Yuan said, "Now, you must pull Xin Xingzong over."
Xin Xingzong and Zhang Shizheng were Tong Guan's absolute confidants. Zhang Shizheng must not be able to pull him away. Zhang Shizheng is from Hebei. He was born in poverty and was the first to be Tong Guan's entourage. He followed Tong Guan for more than 20 years, made many military achievements, and was very loyal to Tong Guan. Xin Xingzong came from the Northwest General's Sect. His aunt was Liu Yanqing's wife, while Xin Xingzong's wife was Liu Yanqing's niece. Xin Xingzong's younger brother Xin Xingzhong's wife was Liu Yanqing's daughter. He had two generations of in-laws and had a very close relationship. With this relationship, Liu Yanqing was absolutely sure to pull Xin Xingzong over.
"I'll ask Xin Xingzhong to run there immediately." Liu Yanqing said lightly, "As long as we eliminate Zhang Shizheng's Shengjie army and Tong Shimin's guard infantry, Tong Guan will be dead."
"Things are more complicated than you think." Wang Yuan whispered, "Shuai Zhong said that the emperor and Tong Guan secretly conspired to flee southeast to rebuild the court in Jiangning, and Zhang Shizheng and Xin Xingzong both participated in this matter. If you send someone to tell Xin Xingzong that you want to kill Tong Guan, Tong Guan will probably kill you before you can do anything."
Liu Yanqing was shocked.
The emperor wants to escape? He wants to escape to Jiangning? Then he still has a big fuss? Wouldn't the people in the northwest die in vain?
"Why is the tiger king reluctant to enter Hebei for battle? Why did he personally rush to the emperor's camp? This is the reason." Wang Yuan shook his head and sighed, "The emperor and Tong Guan were determined to escape and abandon the capital. In this case, how can we defeat the Jin thieves?"
"Fortunately, the emperor is still here, and Tong Guan cannot escape in the short term." Liu Yanqing sneered for a moment, and was about to continue talking, but suddenly thought of something, his face changed suddenly, "He can take the Supreme Emperor to escape."
"So you must meet Xin Xingzong immediately and pull him over, otherwise Tong Guan will take the Supreme Emperor to escape to Jiangnan, and then there will be two emperors and two courts in the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty will definitely fall into division, and where can we go?"
