Li Hu made a decision and continued to besiege Zongfu. He also tried to contact Guo Yaoshi and asked him to turn against him within three days. The Hu Lie Army did not have the patience to wait for half a month.

This decision revealed that Li Hu had made adjustments to the ultimate goal of the Northern Expedition. Although he repeatedly emphasized that the target of the Hu Lie Army was to conquer Yanjing and recover Youyan, considering the urgent situation in the country, he might end the Northern Expedition after recovering Hebei.

On the morning of the 28th, Yue Fei commanded the army to continue attacking on the northern line.

The Tiger Lie Army on the southern front was waiting for troops. In front of the battlefield, Li Hu and Zong Fu met. Zong Fu proposed a plan to negotiate peace and form an alliance. The Jin army withdrew from Hebei, and the Song and Jin countries used Baigou as the boundary to sign a peace alliance.

Li Hu laughed, "For several years, the Jin army has invaded south, occupied our country's territory, killed our compatriots, and robbed our wealth, which has brought serious disasters to me. Now, they are still dreaming of making peace with China under the circumstances of dominating the seven states in front of our mountain. Do you think I will agree?"

Zong Fu's face changed slightly, and he sneered. Yang Pu was worried that both sides would have a quarrel, so he hurried forward to explain in detail. He said a lot, just to warn Li Hu, you can't eat me now, even if you eat me, your Hu Lie Army will suffer heavy losses, and under the Jin army's slaughter, you still can't defend Hebei. Since that's the case, it's better for everyone to give in and take each of them.

"Tiger King, what are your conditions?" Yang Pu asked at the end.

"It's very simple. Go back to Liaodong, return Youyan to me, and make war compensation." Li Hu said sternly, "This is the minimum limit. If you don't agree, you will be the winner on the battlefield."

At this moment, the Tiger Lie Army had an absolute advantage, and it was natural that Li Hu Lion spoke up. Zong Fu and Yang Pu had expected it long ago, so they made a request to temporarily stop the battle. Yang Pu rushed to Yanjing with Li Hu's peace talks. While reporting to Huanglong Mansion, Wanyan Gao asked him to come forward and discuss with Li Hu in detail.

"I won't stop the attack." Li Hu flatly refused, pointing at Yang Pu and said, "I allow you to rush to Yanjing. But you should be fast, otherwise..."

Before Li Hu finished speaking, Zong Fu and Yang Pu expressed their opposition in unison. Li Huli ignored him, turned his head and left. Yang Pu chased him over and begged him hard, and finally even moved out Wanyan Xingxing, trying to impress Li Hu with the in-laws between the two families.

Li Hu pretended to be convinced by him, thought for a long time, and gave in, "I have conquered Juyongguan on behalf of the Peking University Army. If Wanyan Gao is willing to accept my conditions and hand over Yanjing to my army immediately, then I will stop the attack and start negotiations with the Jin Kingdom."

Yang Pu was so angry that his eyes were full of fire, but at this moment he could only accept Li Hu's threat and agreed in one go.

At noon, at noon, with Li Hu's order, the Huli army immediately launched an attack, and the attack was like a tide, killing the Jin army step by step.

The fierce battle between the two sides did not stop until dusk. The Jin army was attacked from both sides and surrounded on all sides. The situation became increasingly critical, and the soldiers could not see reinforcements, nor could they see hope for breaking through, and their morale became increasingly sluggish.

That night, Li Hu received a letter from Luo Lan. Since Liu Yanzong led his army to retreat to Zhongshan, the Jin army's troops have increased and its offensive has become stronger, but under the tenacious obstacle of the Huli Army, it has not yet broken through the Shahe defense line.

Wanyan Gao arrived at the Shahe battlefield and discussed with the generals, and decided to attack and write a letter to Li Hu, proactively demanding that Hebei be exchanged for peace between the two countries, hoping to save Zong Fu and his main Hebei force through negotiations. Roland asked Li Hu whether he would accept Wanyan Gao's request for a truce.

Like Zong Fu, Wanyan Gao had to face the reality and decided to give up Hebei when the situation in Youyan suddenly changed and there was no soldiers to adjust.

Li Hu happened to take advantage of the plan and use peace talks to delay the Jin army on the Shahe battlefield. For this reason, he urgently wrote to Luo Lan, accepted Wanyan Gao's request for a ceasefire, and promised to rush to Shahe in person within a few days to negotiate with Wanyan Gao.

The continuous and fierce attacks of the Tiger Lie Army on the Luancheng battlefield caused heavy losses to the Jin army, and the entire army fell into despair and fear.

That night, after participating in the military convention, Guo Yaoshi had just returned to the camp when Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren hurried over.

"The Tiger King has news." Zhang Linghui was anxious and frightened. "The Tiger King rejected our suggestion and asked us to turn against us within three days, otherwise..." He looked at Guo Yaoshi with a cold face and shook his head helplessly, "The Tiger Lie Army's offensive is getting stronger and stronger, and we have suffered serious losses. If we continue to fight like this, we will probably not last long."

Yaoshi Guo frowned, hesitated for a long time, and whispered: "Tell you something. Zong Fu and Li Hu were negotiating in front of the formation this morning, and Li Hu seemed to agree to Zong Fu's peace talks."

Only a few people knew about Zongfu's plan to discuss and rescue strategies. Guo Yaoshi was one of them. He had no hope for this, but Yang Pu's departure gave him a hope. In terms of his position, unless it was a forced situation, he would better follow the Jurchens. Surrendering to Li Hu was actually surrendering to the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty hated him, and his future life was in danger, so he had never decided to turn against him, which was also an important reason why he delayed the time for turning against him.

Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren looked at each other, and a trace of fear flashed through their hearts. Guo Yaoshi was still hesitating until now, and this was very likely to be a bad thing. Once the matter was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Do you think Li Hu will let Zong Fu and the Jin army of Hebei?" Zhang Linghui had no interest in this news. Negotiations in front of the formation were just Zong Fu's delaying strategy, and Li Hu could not have known it. From the crazy attacks of the Hu Lie Army this afternoon, it can be seen that Li Hu had no intention of voluntarily returning to the mountain.

"Li Hu is now the overlord of Middle Earth and the regent of the Song Dynasty. The hatred between him and the Jurchens is the hatred between Middle Earth and Jin Kingdom. This hatred is impossible to be resolved. With Li Hu's current advantage, how could he let the Jin army in Hebei be spared the opportunity to take revenge?" Liu Shunren advised earnestly. "Don't hesitate, turn against you immediately, and you may change later, otherwise you will regret it."

Guo Yaoshi repeatedly weighed the gains and losses. He still had a little expectation for Youyan reinforcements, and had a little hope for peace talks, but was very pessimistic about the ending of joining Li Hu. After thinking about this, he decided to wait and see the development of the situation.

"Tell Li Hu, because the Hu Lie Army attacked too hard, the Changsheng Army was too poor to deal with it, and there was no chance to turn against him." Guo Yaoshi found a reason, "If the Hu Lie Army temporarily stopped the attack and gave us two or three days to prepare, the turn against him would definitely be successful."

Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They probably guessed that Guo Yaoshi was thinking and were extremely dissatisfied with his hesitation.

After leaving Guo Yaoshi's military tent, Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren looked up at the dark night sky, feeling the future was dark, and even felt the strong breath of death.

"How long can we last?" Zhang Linghui suddenly asked.

Liu Shunren said nothing and left without saying a word. Zhang Linghui looked at his back, hesitated for a moment, and then chased after him decisively.

"Zong Fu is discussing peace with Li Hu. Do you know what this means?" Zhang Linghui grabbed Liu Shunren's arm and asked in a low voice.

Liu Shunren was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, and his face changed immediately.

"Li Hu is eager to wipe out the Jin army completely, and only gives us three days. If we don't agree, Li Hu will betray us and sell us to Zongfu." Zhang Linghui thought of Li Hu's viciousness and said, "If Zongfu wants to kill us, we will not be able to stand dead. As a result, there will be internal strife. In this way, Li Hu will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to defeat the enemy."

Liu Shunren's eyes were filled with fear. His mind was in chaos. "Dare you dare to kill us? He doesn't know the consequences of the internal strife?"

"If Zong Fu doesn't kill us, the Jin army will definitely be wiped out." Zhang Linghui shook his head and smiled bitterly, "On the contrary, Zong Fu can only use a knife to kill people with a knife and use Li Hu's hands to eliminate us on the battlefield, which may not necessarily lead to fatal internal strife."

Liu Shunren stood stunned for a moment, and the fear in his eyes was gradually replaced by a murderous aura. He was also a fierce general who had been through the battlefield for a long time. Facing today's dilemma, he had to take risks and try his best. Liu Shunren looked up at Guo Yaoshi's military tent in the distance, and gritted his teeth, "Since he doesn't want to live anymore, then we can do it ourselves."

Zhang Linghui waited for this sentence, and his frown suddenly stretched out, "Have you decided?"

"Is there any other way to live besides this?" Liu Shunren asked back.

Zhang Linghui shook his head, "It's just the two of us?"

"If there are too many people, something may happen." Liu Shunren knew that Zhang Linghui was willing to take away more brothers, but this might cause the matter to leak.

Zhang Linghui thought about it for a while and said flatly: "Brothers have been together for so many years. If they want to leave, they will be implicated and will die under the sword of the Jurchens because of our turnaround."

Liu Shunren said nothing more and patted Zhang Linghui on the shoulder, "Send someone to contact the Tiger King immediately. I will gather a group of brothers and discuss with them in detail."

"What's there to discuss?" Zhang Linghui shook his hand vigorously, then pointed to the Martian clouds in the distance, "That's the camp of the Tiger Lie Army. We escaped overnight and save our lives first."

Liu Shunren was stunned. Escape overnight? This is indeed a good idea, but Li Hu made it clear that they wanted them to turn against each other in front of the battlefield and use their turn against each other to give the Jin army a fatal blow. If they escape like this, they would not be able to help Li Hu quickly defeat the Jin army.

"Is this OK?" Liu Shunren said worriedly, "If Li Hu closed the camp and refused to accept it, and the Jin army chased after him, we would be dead."

"We must do this, otherwise once the news leaks, everyone will be over." Zhang Linghui looked up at the night sky and whispered: "It's just midnight now, and there's still enough time, and there's still time."

Late at night, in the tent of the Hu Lie Army, Li Hu, Yue Fei and others were discussing a two-day attack method. Suddenly, Zhu Xia ran in, looking very nervous.

"Master General, Zhang Linghui has sent someone to come. Changsheng Army will turn against each other tonight."

Zhang Linghui and Li Hu looked at Zhu Xia in surprise and blurted out: "Where is Pharmacist Guo? Something happened?"

"Zhang Linghui said that Guo Yaoshi is still hesitating, which puts the Changsheng Army in danger, so he and Liu Shunren and others decided to turn against each other tonight and bring the Changsheng Army out first."

Li Hu became more and more surprised and didn't speak for a long time.
