Although the great victory in Puyang blocked the Jin army on the north bank of the Yellow River and boosted the morale of the military and civilians, this victory could not reverse the grim situation at the moment. Especially when Taiyuan sent a letter that the Jin army attacked Hedong with heavy troops, the main force of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army could no longer go south to the Central Plains to fight in the future, and the troops guarding the Central Plains were too weak. In fact, they were unable to prevent the Jin army from breaking through the Yellow River defense line, which forced the temporary court of Bianjing to repeatedly urge the emperor to go to Luoyang to rebuild the court as soon as possible to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world.

At the end of September, the emperor and Li Hu discussed whether to continue leading the army to fight in person or to Luoyang.

No one wants to go to Bianjing. The once prosperous Kyoto was completely gone after being hit by a series of blows, unrecognizable and in chaos. With the acceleration of the capital migration process and the population fleeing, the world's number one city is in name only. Soon it will become a front-line center for Middle-earth to fight against the invasion of the Northern Territory, and the war will burn in the Central Plains.

"Go to Luoyang, we have a lot to do." Li Hu said, "The reconstruction of the imperial court involves a series of national policy amendments and policy formulations, which are directly related to the revival of the Song Dynasty, and are far more important than blocking the Jin thieves in the Central Plains."

"Yellow River Defense

Can the line be held until the end of the year?" The emperor was worried, "If the Jin thieves crossed the Yellow River, can we defend Tokyo?"

"Victory on the battlefield requires strength and support, and strength not only includes force, but also includes the correct national policy and strong financial resources." Li Hu said seriously, "If there is no correct national policy, even if you win a battle, it will be temporary and will eventually be defeated. Similarly, without strong financial resources, what should we use to support the people? What should we use to support the war? Don't consider the Yellow River defense line now, don't consider whether Tokyo can defend it, or devote all our energy to the reconstruction of the court."

After some discussion, it was decided to rush to Luoyang on the first day of October, and at the same time, he wrote to Li Gang and Liu Yanqing to move the queen, prince and harem to Luoyang.

On the evening of the 30th, Li Hu rushed to Yue Fei's camp to meet Yue Fei's mother.

In the past six months, Yue Fei sent people to find his family more than a dozen times. This time, God finally opened his eyes and found his mother Yao and two children Yue Yun and Yue Lei. However, his wife Liu was separated during the escape and disappeared.

When the Jin army went south to capture Tangyin for the first time, her mother-in-law and her family. As the fugitives escaped into the mountains, they suffered a lot. Later, they heard that the Tiger King had arrived in Hebei, so they took their grandson down the mountain. She knew that Yue Fei was working under the Tiger King's tent, and as long as she found the Tiger King, she could find Yue Fei, so she returned to her hometown. Unexpectedly, the Jin army went south again, and the people flew in a hurry. She also crossed the Yellow River. Unexpectedly, after crossing the Yellow River, she saw the military camp of the Tiger Lieutenant Army. The soldiers heard that she was Yue Fei's mother and hurriedly sent her to Yue Fei's coaching camp. The mother and son met, and the sadness and joy were mixed.

Li Hu admired his mother-in-law very much. In the father's story, the mother-in-law was left indelible marks in his heart, and in reality, the mother-in-law is also a mother who knows the knowledge of etiquette and understands righteousness. Li Hu felt very friendly when he first met, and worshiped him at the big week. Then, taking advantage of the reason that he and Yue Fei were brothers, he also called his mother and treated him with the politeness of his mother.

At first, my mother-in-law was quite frightened. Li Hu was famous all over the world, and she was respectful of the king, and she felt that she could not afford it. Yue Fei was used to it. Over the years, the tiger army regarded him as the younger brother of the Tiger King, and he accepted it. You can't accept this kind of thing. The Tiger King had the final say, and he had no choice. In order to comfort his mother, Yue Fei told some of the Tiger King's secrets in private. The mother-in-law didn't expect that Li Hu's life experience was so complicated and his fate was so bumpy. He was so upset to Li Hu.

It felt completely different, and the fear gradually faded.

These days, Li Hu always comes to greet his mother-in-law every day, ask about his well-being, talk and chat about family matters, and the relationship between the "mother and son" has made rapid progress.

Tonight, Yue Fei went out for something. Li Hu had dinner with his mother-in-law and played with Yue Yun for a while. Yue Yun was six years old. The little guy was very handsome. Li Hu liked him very much. Yue Lei was only one year old and had just learned to walk and was babbling. Li Hu didn't let go of it when he held it in, and couldn't let it go.

The mother-in-law sat on the side, looking at Li Hu with a smile, but she felt uncomfortable. She had asked Li Hu, Li Hu had six wives and three children, among which the princess Luo Sinan gave birth to a son, Yelu Mingyue and Li Yuling each gave birth to a daughter, but Li Hu had been fighting all year round. Although his son was four years old, he had not seen it for nearly two years. This made people feel sad.

"Mother, I will set off tomorrow to return to Luoyang. I plan to take you and your two nephews."

My mother-in-law was stunned for a moment and thought to herself that you are leaving. Who will fight against the Jin thieves? Immediately, I thought that Li Hu was the Grand Marshal of the World, in charge of military and national affairs, in addition to fighting the war

We also have to deal with state affairs, of course we cannot stay on the front line all the time.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was hesitant, Li Hu knew that she was reluctant to leave Yue Fei. The family had been separated for nearly a year and finally got together, so she was unable to bear to part again.

"Mother, this is the front line, it's not safe." Li Hu advised softly, "These two children need more care. Yun'er needs to study and practice martial arts, and Lei'er also needs to grow up in a safe environment."

My mother-in-law nodded, "This is a military camp, Pengju still has to lead troops to fight. It is not a long-term solution for me and the children to live here." She said this and looked apologetic, "But this is too troublesome to you."

"Don't say that." Li Hu shook his hand repeatedly, "I am your child, this is what I should do."

The mother and son chatted for a few more times, and Li Hu got up and handed Yue Lei to his mother-in-law, got up and said goodbye.

Just as Li Hu walked to the gate, Yue Fei came with a group of entourages. Li Hu explained the purpose of this trip.

After a while, Yue Fei was a little reluctant, but he would definitely send his mother and child away, and he could not stay by his side forever. He was very grateful to Li Hu, but there was no need to say such gratitude between his brothers. Keep it in mind and repay this kind of kindness with his life and blood.

"I'll hand over the Yellow River defense line to you."

Li Hu looked up at the stars in the sky, and couldn't help but think of his wife and children, feeling a little depressed. In the past, when he raised the banner in Liaodong, he fantasized about living a comfortable life, but ten years passed, and he was in the wind and rain, and there was no time to be at peace. Reality and dreams were too far apart. Now there are so many things like mountains, which made him breathless. What is most worrying is the Yellow River defense line. If this defense line cannot be defended until the end of this year, the situation will be even more serious.

"Why didn't brother keep Dong Shuai?" Yue Fei did not directly answer Li Hu.

Li Hu glanced at him, raised his legs and walked forward. Yue Fei followed Li Hu, wanting to speak but stopping.

Li Hu knew Yue Fei's difficulties. Now there is Hu Jiayong, the head coach of the resentful army, Hailasu, the head coach of the Ninth Army of Hulie, and the head coach of the Northwest Army.

Yang Keshi and Liu Guangshi, these four people are incomparable to Yue Fei in terms of qualifications and achievements, but now Li Hu has appointed Yue Fei as the 5th Route of Hebei, Jingdong, and Jingxi, and is fully responsible for the wars in Hebei, Shandong and Central Plains. These people have to obey Yue Fei, and the contradictions in the tent can be imagined.

"You are my brother." Li Hu said seriously, "You are the brother of my King of Han Li Hu. Who else can I believe besides trusting you?"

Yue Fei's heart was stirred and he was speechless for a while.

"Lin Chong, Roland will help you." Li Hu continued, "As for Helasu, I have already talked with him, and he has solemnly swears that he will definitely obey your orders. I believe that Dong Shuai will remind Hu Jiayong. The more troublesome people are the Northwest people, but don't worry, I will transfer them away one after another and disperse them to various battlefields. The Northwest people can no longer threaten me."

Li Hu stopped, turned to look at Yue Fei, and asked, "Are you sure you can stay until the end of this year?"

Yue Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "The Jin army was blocked from attacking Taiyuan, and the attack on the Central Plains was also blocked. We must make another plan, but there are our heavy soldiers in Hedong.

It threatens Hebei at all times. If the Jin army throws all its troops into the Hedong battlefield, completely removes the threat, and occupy all the land north of the Yellow River, then although we can defend the Yellow River defense line until the end of this year, the situation in Hedong will suddenly become serious."

"I know, I'm worried about this, too."

"If we want to completely reverse the unfavorable situation, we must find ways to recruit troops to expand our army." Yue Fei continued, "Now, there are four armies in the Central Plains area, namely the Five-Road Xuanfu Department, the Tokyo Left-Leading Department, the Nanjing Grand Governor's Office and the Luoyang Grand Governor's Office, with a total force of about 150,000. If we double this force, we can carry out two attacks with the Tiger Lieutenant Army in Hedong, **Hebei."

"No, no..." Li Hu shook his hand quickly, "Your idea is correct, but the timing is wrong, because we do not have enough money and food. Now the court's finances are still in a state of collapse. It will take at least a year for us to improve the financial situation."

"Brother, you have to know that the rebels in the southeast have not yet established a stable foothold, and the northern expedition has not occupied the north of the Yellow River. This is our great opportunity. As long as we pacify the southeast with lightning speed and recover Hebei, the period of the revival of the Song Dynasty is right in front of us."

"But what about us? What do we use to support such a huge battlefield? What do we use to revive the Song Dynasty?" Li Hu asked back, "Think about it, what will happen if the army does not pay military salaries for three months? If the army does not have a steady supply of food and weapons, what will happen?"

Yue Fei frowned and said nothing. This question seemed to be something he should consider.

"I also hope to pacify the world within one year and revive the Song Dynasty within two years, but is it possible? In fact, it is impossible, because what supports the war is financial resources. How much money and food will be consumed to fight such a large war? So don't look at the fierce momentum of the Jin thieves. Before they stabilize Youyan and Hebei, and before they obtain financial resources from Youyan and Hebei, they will not support them for long. As long as we firmly defend the Central Plains, they will be exhausted sooner or later. "
