In early April, negotiations between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty made progress.
Li Hu was sincere in this negotiation, participated in it personally, and made continuous concessions, which fully reflected his desire to make the world three times.
Zong Han and Zong Wang's original purpose was to delay time to investigate the reality and reality. However, seeing that Li Hu attached great importance to this negotiation, he gradually changed his mind. After all, after more than a year of battle, the Great Jin Kingdom needed time to stabilize the occupied areas and the army also needed to rest. If the peace could be successful, it would be a good thing. However, the Jurchens must have taken over Bian Jing. It is of great significance to capture Bian Jing. It not only reflects the strength of the Jin Kingdom and establishes its advantages on the battlefield in the Central Plains, but also severely hits the morale of the Middle-earth people, and can also plunder amazing wealth, killing multiple kills in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, the Southeast Song Dynasty court has always refused to participate in the negotiations. The Southeast Song Dynasty court and the Jin Kingdom formed an alliance, and the two sides agreed to join forces to eliminate Li Hu. However, the Jin Kingdom has violated the alliance and recognized the Chang'an Song Dynasty and deliberately split the Song Dynasty. Of course, the Southeast Song Dynasty court could not accept it. Fortunately, Li Hu and Zonghan were not concerned about this. The frontal conflict now is the Chang'an Song Dynasty court and the Jin Kingdom, and both sides must occupy the Central Plains. Under this situation, the Southeast Song Dynasty court must sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.
Tong Guan took it
The old emperor went south to Jiangning and had long seen the current situation, so he was very confident and believed that the Southeast court could not only ensure half of the country, but also accumulate strength to wait for an opportunity. Therefore, when the news of Li Hu and Jin's peace talks reached Jiangning, Tong Guan clearly told Wu Min and Xin Xingzong that he would try every means to disrupt the negotiations, provoke the struggle between Li Hu and Jin, and delay the formation of the three-part pattern of the world.
Wu Min thought for a long time and decided to participate in the negotiation. Only by participating in this negotiation can the negotiation be disrupted. He was also afraid that Li Hu and Jin Kingdom reached an agreement, because the Southeast court was weak and could not defeat Li Hu at present, and even more so that the Jin thieves could only win development time by neatly working on it.
On the fourth day of the April, Wu Min arrived at the Jin army camp under the city of Bianjing and held three parties to hold talks.
The participation of the Southeast Song Dynasty changed the meeting and talked about the situation. The Jin Dynasty and the Southeast Court were allies, so of course they joined forces to deal with Li Hu. So at the beginning of the talks, Zong Han asked Li Hu to give up Datong first, and then the Jin army stopped besieging Bianjing.
Of course Li Hu would not agree. You just need to surround Bianjing for one day, I would not consider handing over Datong.
Zong Han Ye
He was very tough and immediately ordered an attack on Bianjing.
The Jin army surrounded Bianjing for three months, and only launched an attack at the beginning of the siege. Now that Qian Dinggong and Liu Yu's army arrived, he was very happy to use the Song people to attack the Song people.
Li Hu was very angry and scolded Zonghan for being untrustworthy and going back on his word. He then scolded Wu Min, who recognized the thief as his father, and helped the enemy massacres to massacre the people of the Song Dynasty, would be punished by God.
Li Hu stopped talking. Zong Han must take over Bian Jing, and now it is time to attack. Wu Min achieved the purpose of sabotaging the negotiations and was overjoyed.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, Dong Xiaochou rushed to Xingyang.
That night, Li Hu also arrived. When he saw Dong Xiaochou, he immediately asked: ".Is there any news about Dai Bei?"
"Say Luo Shuai, on the sixth day of the lunar month, launch an attack."
"How is the situation in Hedong?" Li Hu asked, "
Are Taiyuan ready?”
"On the thirty days, Liu Guangshi, Zhao Ming led Lin Yan and the two armies of Huanqing to Taiyuan." Dong Xiaochou replied, "The princess said that in addition to the 20,000 Northwest Army, there were 4,000 Tiger Guards, and the 3,000 local troops of the Taiyuan Army commander Hu Yanzhuo, Taiyuan City's defensive forces were enough. In addition, the Hedong Martial Arts Envoy Jie Qian led the Chengtian Army Fortress of Hedong. If this army cannot withstand the attack of the Jin army, it will withdraw back to Taiyuan. In this way, Taiyuan has at least 30,000 defensive forces." Then he frowned slightly and said solemnly, "General General, considering the safety of the princess, you should order her to leave Taiyuan."
"What do you say about the princess?"
"Of course the princess doesn't want to leave." Dong Xiaohou sighed, "The outcome of this battle is unpredictable. The Jurchens will not be tied up. Taiyuan is very likely to be attacked by the Jin army."
"Since she doesn't want to leave, my orders are useless." Li Hu smiled, "However, I hope she stays in Taiyuan. This battle is related to our life and death. Hu Lie Mansion needs her to stay in charge to stabilize the morale of the army."
Dong Xiaochou was not easy to persuade him, so he changed his words immediately
The question is, "The war is about to begin, should you tell the center about this?"
"It can be said now." Li Hu nodded, "Actually, they have a rough idea. After the Jin army surrounded Bianjing, I asked them to allocate food and grass weapons to Taiyuan, and also asked Tie Shuai to gather the grain shooting army in the clouds to recruit people. This is obviously to fight in Daibei, but the situation in the Central Plains is too tense, so it is difficult for them to think that I would launch an attack in Daibei."
"Absolute Wei and save Zhao." Dong Xiaohou smiled and said, "The key to this battle is the Central Plains battlefield. If we fail to severely damage the Jin army in the Central Plains battlefield and achieve a decisive victory, even if we force the Jin army to retreat across the Yellow River, it will be more than worth the loss. The cost is so huge, but the results are very limited. This battle is actually equivalent to defeating."
"So you still have to train troops." Li Hu looked at the soldiers who were returning from the field training with a serious face. "It depends on them whether they can severely damage the Jin thieves."

Late at night, Yue Fei and ten chiefs and deputy chiefs gathered together to the commander's tent. This was the first time since the reorganization of the army that Li Hu had summoned them to discuss matters.
Li Hu and Dong Xiaochou sat together and whispered. Chai Yun and Yuan Ye stood in front of the map without saying a word. They just knew Li Hu's attack strategy, but the two of them did not expect that Li Hu had no intention of discussing peace at all, but wanted to launch a decisive battle to establish a huge advantage in the future three-point pattern. Of course, the idea is one thing, and whether the ultimate goal can be achieved depends on the battlefield fighting. If the army cannot complete the attack intention, then no matter how beautiful the idea is, it can only be an illusion.
Li Hu asked about the army's training and training situation, then made a gesture to Dong Xiaochou and asked him to talk about the battle in detail.
"After the Jin army surrounded Bianjing, the situation was very unfavorable to us, but our strength was limited and we could not reverse the situation, especially the battlefield in the Central Plains, which was completely at a disadvantage." Dong Xiaohou walked to the map and said loudly, "We must occupy the Central Plains, otherwise we will not be able to unify the world in the shortest time. For this reason, the general decided to fight the Jin thieves in Bianjing."
Dong Xiaochou pointed to Bei and explained in detail the attack strategy of this battle.
"We have assembled 200,000 troops in Daibei and will launch an attack tomorrow."
Before Dong Xiaochou could finish her words, cheers suddenly came from the tent. The ten coaches were excited and applauded and congratulated each other.
"But..." Dong Xiaochou had no smile on his face. On the contrary, he was deeply worried. "The battle of Daibei is large in scale and has a great momentum, and the goal is directed at Yanjing. As long as we break through Juyong Pass, Yanjing will be in a hurry. If Yanjing falls, then it is obvious that the Jin army in Hebei, Central Plains and even Shandong will be surrounded."
"The strength of the Jin army is stronger than ours. Once the Jin army in the Central Plains and Shandong in Hebei Province is in a group, our troops on both north and south battlefields have no advantage. The biggest result is to force the Jin army to withdraw from the Central Plains. Therefore, the purpose of Daibei's battle is not to capture Yanjing, but to force the Jin army to withdraw from the Central Plains, which is the so-called besieging Wei and saving Zhao."
"The Jin army obviously will not be fooled and will not withdraw from the Central Plains easily. On the contrary, they will have to fight back and take the opportunity to attack Taiyuan, thus forcing us to support the main force in the Northern battlefield to break the siege of Yanjing."
"Therefore, the battle of Daibei is very difficult. The main force not only has to severely damage the Daibei Jin army, but also conquered Juyongguan and surrounded Yanjing. At the same time, the Hedong army must defend Taiyuan. If Taiyuan is lost, we will defeat this battle."
The generals in the tent thought that the Jin army had been invincible for the past year, and their excitement suddenly weakened a little.
"After the Daibei battle was fought well and achieved its goal, the main force of the Jin army had to withdraw from the Central Plains. But if we allow it to withdraw from the Central Plains, this battle was also defeated, because the Jin army's strength was still there, and withdrawing from the Central Plains was only temporary. After they rested for a while, they would immediately go south to attack again. Therefore, the key to this battle is the battlefield of the Central Plains, whether we can severely damage the Jin army under the city of Bianjing."
Xiao Chou Dong smiled at the generals, "Now, do you know why the general wants to train troops and train troops? Do you have to sharpen the guns in the face of battle?"
All the generals suddenly realized that Li Hu killed two birds with one stone. No matter from any aspect, it was what Li Hu needed and was beneficial to Li Hu.
"We don't know whether Daibei's battle can achieve its predetermined goals," said Dong Xiaochou, "but for you here, your important task is to use this period of time to train troops and then fight the Jin army to a decisive battle."
"The final battle should be half a month later, but
You guys have not been training for half a month, only seven or eight days at most.”
"It started on the sixth day of the Daibei War. It took about three or four days for this news to be transmitted from Yanjing to Bianjing. However, at first, the Jin army did not know the scale of our attack and needed time to observe. In this way, when Zonghan and Zong Wang knew that my main force attacked Juyongguan and threatened Yanjing, it was already seven or eight days later."
"On the 13th, our army gathered in Shahe Town and launched an attacking position."
"At that time, the Jin army was always paying attention to the situation in Daibei and Youyan. People were in panic and they dared not fight with us." Dong Xiaochou clenched his fist with his right hand and smashed it hard on the map. "We burned our boats and fought against the Jin army at all costs."
"We have an absolute advantage in this decisive battle, because we only have to fight to the death, and we have no way out. However, the Jin army wants to preserve its troops and protect Youyan and Hebei, so they dare not fight to the death. In this way, the victory and defeat have been decided." Dong Xiaochou seemed to see the Jin army retreating in panic, and his eyes showed a murderous aura. "We attack wildly, the Jin army will definitely retreat. When the Jin army retreats, we will kill us, chase them and kill them all the way to the edge of the Yellow River."
Dong Xiaochou suddenly turned around to face the generals, waved his fists, and said sternly: "In this battle, we must avenge our revenge, kill our blood, and let the Jin thieves dare not cross the Yellow River from now on."
"Kill the Jin thieves and defend the country to the death." Yue Fei jumped up suddenly and roared wildly.
