"He is in the distant Western Regions, in Yemili City in the Eastern Karakhan..."

Li Hu roughly explained the difficult survival of Yelu Dashi in the north and south foothills of Jinshan in the past two years. Yelu Mage was in a complicated mood. Since the Khitans lost their country, some of them defected to Li Hu and lived a life of living under the roof in Daibei, while some of them went to Jinshan to restore the country. However, neither Yelu Mage nor Yelu Dashi currently has enough strength to defeat the Jurchens and rebuild the Daliao.

"I think you should send an envoy to Yemili City to invite Yelu Dashi and the army back, and then launch an eastern expedition to retake Shangjing and rebuild your home." Li Hu suddenly stopped at the horse, looked at Yelu Ma Ge beside him, and said with a smile, "What do you think of my suggestions?"

Yelu Ma Ge was shocked. What does Li Hu mean? Test me? I suspect that I took the opportunity of the Hu Lie Army to destroy the Dangxiang people and formed an alliance with the desert and seeking to restore the country?

Yelu Ma Ge does have this idea, and in recent times, this idea has become increasingly strong. Li Hu's strength is growing. Now that Middle-earth is three points, the Khitans still have a chance to get rid of Li Hu's control. But once Li Hu unifies Middle-earth, it is almost impossible for the Khitans to want to be independent and rebuild the Great Liao again. Li Hu will never allow the Khitans to rise again and form a confrontation with Middle-earth.

"What the Grand Marshal means is to launch an Eastern Expedition?" Yelu Ma Ge asked carefully.

Li Hu smiled slightly, and from Yelu Ma Ge's eyes, he had already guessed Yelu Ma Ge's thoughts. The crisis in northern Xinjiang has become prominent. He must find a way to kill this crisis in the bud and never let the Khitans rise again.

"Let's have a good talk tonight."

Before Li Hu arrived at Wulahai City, he did not have a complete and proper strategy to join the desert and the desert. However, when Yelu Mage detailed the situation in the desert and northern borders, he deeply felt the powerful deterrence caused by the Tiger Lieutenant Army to the desert and the series of changes in the situation caused by the demise of Western Xia. The most prominent point was the highlighting of the contradictions between the north and the south.

Li Hu destroyed Western Xia. If Middle Earth is unified, then a powerful dynasty will rise to the south. After a period of construction, the strength of this dynasty will surely surpass the Song Dynasty and pose a threat to the survival of the northern foreigners. Therefore, whether it is Yelu Mage or the desert foreigners such as Zubu, there are the premise and foundation for an alliance. The foreigners work together to curb Li Hu's development before Li Hu unified Middle Earth, thereby ensuring their survival in the north.

Similarly, this reason also prompted the Jurchens to find ways to form alliances. The desert was the most powerful tribe in the north. They established the country and opened the border, and they destroyed the Great Liao. They went deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains and occupied a large area of ​​territory. To some extent, their strength had surpassed the Khitans at that time. In time, the Jin Kingdom quickly strengthened its national strength with its wealthy southern income, and could completely conquer the desert and unify the entire north.

Li Hu saw the opportunity. Judging from the current trend of the world, the most threatening to the Desert is not Li Hu and the Middle-earth people, but the Jurchens, which are the increasingly powerful Jin Kingdom. Therefore, the most urgent thing about the Desert is to curb the Jurchens. They need to form an alliance to resist, and Li Hu and Middle-earth people also need help from them. This is also an important reason why the Desert people sent envoys to the Khitan Palace to discuss the alliance after receiving the invitation of Yelu Mage.

Li Hu's opportunity is right in front of him. If he missed this opportunity, he may not only encounter setbacks in the unification of China-Turkey Affairs, but also in the northern border will have a serious crisis. This crisis may be a fatal blow to Li Hu's great cause. Li Hu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a strategy to properly handle the affairs of Northern borders revealed a vague outline.

After entering the city, Li Hu washed up at the place where he was staying, locked himself in the room and thought quietly for an hour, and a complete northern strategy gradually took shape.

In the evening, Yelu Mage held a banquet, and the guests and hosts all had fun. After the banquet, Li Hu, Yelu Mage, Xiao Monk Nu, Ma Liang, and Zhu Xia sat around in front of the map to discuss the alliance between Zhufan.

"In your opinion, will the Beizhubu people participate in this alliance?" Li Hu asked.

Yelu Mage and Xiao Shangnu looked at each other, and the latter nodded, "The sphere of influence of the North Shubu people is very large, and the south is all the way to the vicinity of the Great Prince's Mansion, which is the area around Keduncheng." Xiao Shangnu pointed to the map and pointed the location of Keduncheng to Li Hu. "This is the center of the desert, and the former Zhaoyaosi's capital in the southwest was here. Here we separate the Xizhubu people and Wugu Dili. When the Zubu coalition forces attacked the Wugu Dili, their main force was the Beizhubu people. The Xizhubu people and the Beizhubu people were the main forces of the Zubu Grand Alliance. Since the Xizhubu people are here, I think the Beizhubu people will definitely come too."

"Under what conditions are the people who are willing to let go of their past grudges with the enemy and harsh people in Wugu, and work together?" Li Hu asked again.

"The current situation forces the desert to abandon disputes and join forces to form alliances." Xiao Shangnu said, "You see, in the westernmost part of the desert, around Jinshan, there are Yelu Dashi's army; in the southwest part of the desert, there are the tiger lieutenant army; in the north and south of the Yinshan Mountain, there are the tiger lieutenant army and our Khitan people; in the northeast part of the desert, there are the Jurchens. In this case, any large army attacks northward will pose a threat to the desert veins. Therefore, from the perspective of reality and from the strategy of distance and near attack, the desert should all form alliances quickly to ensure their survival."

"Far-to-match attack?" Li Hu glanced at Monk Xiao and praised his statement. The leaders of the desert were not ordinary people, and there were also those with extraordinary talents. The alliance with Li Hu and the fight against the Jurchens was obviously in line with the strategy of getting along with each other.

"The commander talked about the Eastern Expedition in the afternoon, but did he really have this intention?" Yelu Ma Ge took the opportunity to ask.

"I promised you that I will definitely fulfill my promise." Li Hu smiled, "I know you really want to enter Shangjing and rebuild the Great Liao. I am willing to help you realize this wish."

Yelu Ma Ge and Xiao Monk Nu were both surprised and happy, but they did not show it, worried that this was Li Hu's temptation. If Li Hu wanted to dominate the Central Earth, the most urgent task was to unify Central Earth. Only when he unified Central Earth and was absolutely strong could he be sure to control the Khitans and join forces with the Khitans to attack the Jin Kingdom. Now Li Hu is not in a hurry to unify Central Earth, but is in a hurry to help the Khitans restore the country, which is obviously contrary to common sense.

"You helped me destroy the Dangxiang people, of course I want to help you attack and kill the Jurchens." Li Hu continued, "I think now is your best opportunity to launch an Eastern Expedition."

"At present, the three-point Middle Earth is divided into three parts. The Jurchens and the Southeast rebels of the Song Dynasty joined forces to deal with me. If I attack the Southeast, the Jurchens will definitely attack Daibei. The Central Plains are considered to be restrained, so the premise for me to unify Zhongtu is to drive the Jurchens out of Zhongtu." Li Hu pushed the map to Yelu Mage and Xiao Monk Nu. "I thought about it for a long time when I was in Hexi, especially after I got the accurate news from Yelu Dashi, I immediately decided to temporarily shelve the unification of Zhongtu and concentrate my efforts to help you attack Shangjing, recover your territory, and rebuild the Great Liao."

"Thank you, the general..." The monk Xiao no longer doubted, and was so moved that he burst into tears. He immediately fell to the ground and thanked him on the big week.

Yelu Ma Ge was very calm. After only a few words of scenes, he did not dance like Xiao Monk Nu. The plan of the Eastern Expedition was not in line with the interests of the Tiger and Li Hu's usual style of conduct, which made Yelu Ma Ge very uneasy and felt like he fell into a trap.

What was Li Hu's intention? Obviously, Li Hu wanted to use the power of the Khitans and the Desert Boundaries to restrain the Jurchens and help him unify Zhongtu. At the same time, the power of the Khitans and the Desert Boundaries was severely consumed in the Eastern Expedition, which was very beneficial to Li Hu's continued northward expansion after unifying Zhongtu. Li Hu used a knife to kill people, with the intention of killing two birds with one stone.

Yelu Ma Ge smiled bitterly, and his mood was very complicated. Logically, Li Hu fulfilled his promise and helped the Khitans restore the country. The Khitans should be very grateful, but the question is, will Li Hu make the Khitans rise again? Never mind, so Li Hu must have hidden a backhand, and he will plot against the Khitans and hold the Khitans firmly in his hands.

"Does the Grand Marshal have specific plans for the Eastern Expedition?" asked anxiously.

Li Hu nodded with a smile and pointed to the Jinshan on the map. "In order to rebuild the Daliao, Yelu Dashi fought against the Xizhubu people in the Jinshan area. Later, he was defeated and had to go south to the East Karakhan. I mean, I sent someone to invite Yelu Dashi back and invite him to participate in the Eastern Expedition. In this way, the two Khitan armies joined forces, and their strength was strong, and there was hope of restoring the country. In addition, Yelu Dashi returned to Daibei to relieve the worries of the Xizhubu people, which was obviously beneficial to our alliance with the Zubu people."

Monk Xiao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Li Hu to invite Yelu Dashi back.

"Yelu Dashi has become king." said the monk Xiao. The implication is that Yelu Dashi betrayed the Daliao.

"If the Khitans want to restore their country, they must first be united in their brothers." Li Hu laughed, "I know Yelu Dashi, and you are also familiar with him. The reason why Yelu Dashi became king and went to the west of the desert was to rebuild the Great Liao, and restoring the country was his greatest wish. I can say with certainty that as long as you send someone to tell him that you are going to fight east and fight back to your hometown in Shangjing, Yelu Dashi will definitely come back with his army thousands of miles. As for the throne, he will not persist, but the premise is that you must jointly support a new emperor."

The new emperor, Yelu Ma Ge's face changed slightly, and he looked at Li Hu incredibly. Monk Xiao could not believe his ears.

"Master, what did you say? What did you say just now?" Monk Xiao widened his eyes and shouted excitedly.

"I want to negotiate peace with the Jurchens. One of the conditions is to redeem Yelu Xinilie." Li Hu smiled, "I want to help you find a new emperor, and Yelu Xinilie is obviously very suitable."
