On the 20th of the month, Baima City, Huazhou.

Wang Yuan, Zhe Kesheng is the generals in the northwest to welcome the emperor.

The emperor was kind to appease the soldiers in the northwest and encouraged the soldiers in the northwest to kill the enemy and defend the country. In the following military discussion, Li Hu explained the current situation. The split of the court brought a heavy blow to the Song Dynasty. The situation was very serious. The most urgent task was to block the enemy north of the Yellow River, so as to win time for relocation, rebuild the court, stabilize the local government, and win time, do your best to keep half of the country, lay a three-point pattern, and lay a solid foundation for the unification of Middle-earth in the future.

"The troops we can dispatch have arrived in Hebei. In the future, we will fight the Jin army to the death. At this moment, we are powerless to chase and kill the rebels, so we can only watch them occupy the southeast and split the Song Dynasty." Li Hu stood in front of the map with a serious expression. "The Southeast financial resources support the entire Song Dynasty and the entire northern battlefield. Now they are occupied by rebels, and we have lost support. Even if we have achieved victory in the Hebei battlefield recently, it will be difficult to last."

"The rebels have territory and wealth, and will soon be able to recruit troops to expand their troops. In order to defend the southeast and attack us, they must choose two paths. One is to attack north and take advantage of the opportunity when we have no time to fight with the Jin army, and seize more territory. The other is to negotiate peace with the Jin army and attack from north to south so as to win a chance to breathe and develop."

"In other words, in the next month, at the end of the year, we will face joint attacks from the northern Jin thieves and the southeast rebels. Our situation will become very difficult, and it may be difficult for us to defend the Central Plains."

Li Hu raised his right hand and drew a circle around the Jingji area on the map. "It is very difficult to lose the original road to Zhongxing in the Central Plains. Therefore, we must quickly control Shandong and Jianghuai, defend Jingxiang, and prepare for the future competition and domination of the Central Plains."

After talking about the situation, the topic changed and explained the new national policies, recruit system and new quality rank system to the generals.

After the national policy changed from "focusing on culture and over military" to "focusing on both military and military", the recruit system completely abolished the "using of culture to build military and military" and military personnel would dominate the new recruit system. The policy of "separation of military and political" ensured the military's integrity, so that the military's military rank can be greatly improved.

According to the new military rank, the commander of (battalion) is the seventh rank, the chief general, the chief general, the chief general, the fifth rank, and the first-level commander of the army is the fourth rank, and the guards are the horse commander and the infant commander, the road-level commander and the strategic and appeasement envoy are the third or third rank or above. The commander, the chief commander, the Grand Commander, the Palace Commander, and the commander of the local military commander of the one or several routes, and the strategic and appeasement envoy are the second rank. The first-level officials are all central ministers and have the title of kings.

Li Hu told the generals that the troubled times have come. In the future, the Song Dynasty will revive and unify the world. You will work hard and make great contributions. You can be named kings and marquis.

The generals were excited to congratulate each other.

Why not all soldiers fight to the death on the battlefield? Why do not all local people have noble moral sentiments? Willing to die for the country? Many times. Money and honorary motivation are necessary and indispensable.

The morale of the Northwest generals became higher. Li Hu immediately began to make specific arrangements.

The army had only more than 10,000 people left in the army, and the Yuan army had more than 20,000 people. These troops were in urgent need of rest and could not be put into the battlefield. So Li Hu asked them to temporarily guard the Yellow River line. After the army won the victory on the Hebei battlefield and curbed the local offensive of the Jin army. Wang Yuan led his troops back to the northwest Lanzhou and formed the Northwest Grand Governor's Office. Zhe Kecun went to Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture to form the Nanjing Grand Governor's Office.

Li Hu looked at Zhe Kecun and said solemnly: "Ship Dong, Shuai Luo is now in the battlefield in Hebei. Shuai Liu is going to stay in Bianjing. At present, only Zhe Ke asked only one person to take charge of the Privy Council. Therefore, the Zhe family army is asked to hand it over to you, and your task is very heavy..."

"The Grand Marshal is planning to give up Shandong?" Zhe Kecun suddenly interrupted Li Hu and asked without hesitation.

Li Hu was a little embarrassed. In front of everyone, he could not give up directly, so he had to say vaguely: "The future situation is difficult to predict. If we fail to stop the Jin army's offensive on the Hebei battlefield, then we must retreat to the Yellow River defense line. With our existing troops, we can only ensure the Central Plains. You must know that we can give up Bianjing, but Luoyang cannot give up no matter what. If Luoyang is lost, not only will Guanzhong be threatened, but Jingxiang is also under direct attack from the enemy. Therefore, the goal of the court is to concentrate our efforts to compete for the Central Plains..."

Li Hu stopped, but all the generals in the tent understood what Li Hu meant, and the court did intend to give up Shandong. In fact, there is no court now? Apart from an emperor who resisted the banner, Li Hu had the final say in the entire Song Dynasty. Li Hu had just gone south and had not yet established a foothold. He must first protect the northwest and save a place to survive, and then dare to fight for dominance of the world. If the emperor is in charge of the emperor now, the emperor would never guard the northwest with heavy troops. On the contrary, he would use all his troops to fight against the Jin army to fight Hebei, the Yellow River and even the Central Plains, so he would not worry about what to do if he defeated. For the emperor, if he defeated him, he could escape to the northwest, Sichuan and Shu. Anyway, these places were from the Song Dynasty.

Li Hu can survive anywhere. He is no longer able to do it. He is an outsider. If he can't find a place to live, he has no capital to turn things around. Therefore, his primary goal is not to defeat the Jin people, but to establish a three-part world pattern, but to ensure the safety of the northwest. It is precisely because Li Hu wants to ensure the safety of the northwest that his attack strategy is very conservative, and it can even be said to be negative. He gives up what he can give up, and throw away what he can throw away.

Zhe Kecun received Li Hu's reply, and was very disappointed, with a look on his face a little depressed, and he sat there with his head down without saying a word.

Li Hu glanced at him and sighed secretly. There was no way. In order to unify the world in the future, he had to choose the most secure plan and he had to pay this price. "In addition, I have to tell you one more thing." Li Hu said, "You also know the situation of the court. You are short of money and are seriously short of money. So after you arrive in Yingtian Mansion, you have to find a way to raise food and grass to overcome the current difficulties."

Zhe Kecun nodded with a bitter smile. What could he do? It was just a plunder. The front line of the Jianghuai River soon became the battlefield. Before the civil war broke out, the prefectures and counties in the Jianghuai River area should be robbed as much as possible, and the people were unlucky.

"The Zhe family army still has more than 10,000 people, and there are four generals in Hedong, which together are nearly 20,000 people." Li Hu continued, "I hope you can support it for a longer time, so I allow you to recruit troops and expand your army, but the same thing is said, you must raise money and grain by yourself. I will at least wait until the capital moves to Chang'an and stabilizes the northwest, Sichuan and Jingxiang, and then you can give you money and grain."

Zhe Kecun looked at his subordinates. Murong Xiahan, Yang Ling, Zhe Kezhi, Zhe Ketong nodded slightly at him and signaled him to agree quickly. Li Hu was giving the Zhe family army an opportunity to rebuild and must not be missed.

"Without the command of the commander, I will never leave Yingtian Mansion." Zhe Kecun made a solemn promise.

Li Hu turned to Wang Yuan and was willing to do his best to help him guard the northwest border.

What he is most worried about now is the front line of Beihengshan. Dangxiang people are centipedes, and they die without being stiff. Although they were severely injured last year, as long as they are still alive, they are threats. Especially after being injured, the threat is even greater. Dangxiang people will take advantage of the war in order to avenge, to regain lost land, and to plunder property, and attack crazily while the Song Dynasty is in war. Li Ganshun and Richard are all heroes of a generation. How could they miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

There must be mistakes. Last year, Li Hu launched the second Western Expedition, with the original intention of luring the Jin army to the south and then taking the opportunity to enter Hedong. This idea is indeed successful now, but Li Hu did not expect that the Song Dynasty was vulnerable and was beaten by the Jin army without the power to fight back, which led to the Tiger and Lieutenant Army having to enter the battlefield in Hebei and directly confronting the Jin army.

Hu Lie entered the battlefield in Hebei not to guard the territory for the Song Dynasty, but to conquer the world for Li Hu. However, Li Hu had not yet gained a foothold in the northwest and was not ready to conquer the world, so he rushed to fight. As a result, he lost control of the advance and retreat, and was not conducive to the situation everywhere. It would not be an exaggeration to describe Li Hu as a sluggish person.

If the Hu Lie Army had only one enemy, the Jurchens, could still deal with it, but the situation is earth-shaking now, and the Song Dynasty was divided, and Li Hu had to deal with two enemies at the same time. Although the old emperor stationed in the southeast and Tong Guan and others could not pose a military threat to Li Hu at present, they controlled the wealth and lifeline of the Song Dynasty, which was actually equivalent to grasping Li Hu's throat and making Li Hu unable to use it.

The Jurchens had force, and the Southeast Song court had financial resources. Li Hu did not have an advantage over the Jurchens in terms of force, and was even far inferior to the Southeast in terms of financial resources. He was neither strong nor extremely passive.

However, Li Hu can still support it. After all, he can compete with the Jin army in terms of force, and his financial resources can be strengthened after completely controlling Sichuan and Shu and Jinghu. Just give him time. However, he has another fatal key, that is, the Dangxiang people in the northwest.

If the Dangxiang people go south to invade, enter Shaanxi, and threaten Guanzhong, then the northwest will not be stable. If the northwest cannot be stable, what will Li Hu use to control Sichuan, Shu and Jinghu? Sichuan, Shu and Jinghu cannot control, and the financial crisis cannot be alleviated. What will the Tiger Lie Army use to fight against the Jin army?

This year, the Northwest Army has gone out twice. Zhong Shidao, Yao Gu brought a group of them out, Zhe Keqiu, and Yang Keshi brought another group of them out, and more than 200,000 main forces of the Northwest Army arrived in the Hebei battlefield. Now Shaanxi is facing the four garrisons of Linyan, Jingyuan, Xihe and Huanqing in Xixia, which are less than 50,000 troops. Fortunately, there are village soldiers, foreign soldiers and local soldiers in various routes, and they can barely guard the border of more than 2,000 miles long, but this little force cannot resist the attacks of the Dangxiang people. The Dangxiang people have fewer troops now, but the Northwest Town Gangxiang people have even fewer troops.
