"What does Dao Shuai mean?" Luo Qinghan asked, "He has no intention of helping him?"

"No, no..." Zhu Xia shook his hand repeatedly, "Ship Luo, you misunderstood. Ship Dao is just a suggestion. If the Tiger King agrees, he will lead his army south to Yuguan and inquire about the news about the Youyan army. If he disagrees, he will lead his army to Hu Sengshan area to wait for an opportunity to block the Liao army's food route.,,"

A scout captain Zhang Guanyu was accompanied by Zhu Xia. This man was named Zhang Tianshang, and he also explained it.

Li Hu knew in his heart that after all, Zhang Guanyu still wanted to preserve his strength. The reason why he wanted to go north to join the alliance was mainly because life was too difficult and he could not survive in the mountains. Now the main force of the rebel army is heading south, fighting bloody battles along the way, his strength was damaged, and he was trapped in Jinzhou. His future was uncertain, so of course he was unwilling to use his little possessions to gamble. This is also human nature, and it is understandable.

"How many Yuguan defenders are there?" Li Hu asked casually, "How is the situation in Pingzhou now?"

Zhang Tianbang was not very clear about how many defenders there were in Yuguan, but he knew a lot about Pingzhou. Since Li Hu asked, he would tell everything.

Nanjing Road is composed of Xijin Prefecture and Pingzhou. Xijin Prefecture includes Yanjing and Ji, Jing, Tan, Shun, Zhuo, and Yi, which is the so-called seven states in front of the mountain. This is Yanjing Road.

On the east of Yanjing Road is Pingzhou, which is located in Ping, Luan and Yingzhou. This is Pingzhou Road, which guards the Liaoxi Corridor and is regarded as the eastern gate of Hebei.

The three prefectures on Pingzhou Road belong to Liaoxing Prefecture. The commander was Yelu Dashi, the governor of Liaoxing Army. The deputy of other places was Zhang Jue, the deputy governor of Liaoxing Army, and Quan was the governor of the military prefecture.

The Liaoxing army had about 50,000 to 80,000, including the Khitan army, Xi army, Bohai army and Han army. The Han army was the largest, and these Han army were all from Youyan. There were guards' personal army, as well as local troops such as Jingzhou.

Li Hu knew all these situations. Chai Yun was by his side. Chai Yun was the military judge of the Liaoxing Army in the past, and he was aware of the matters of Pingzhou Road and the Liaoxing Army. How many secrets can this scout captain know? But Li Hu was very patient and kept listening quietly. On the contrary, Luo Qinghan, Huang She, Chai Yun and others were a little impatient.

Zhang Tianbang continued to talk about it and reached the key point.

How can the Wu Yongjun survive in the mountains?

What does Zhang Guanyu do? He is the boss of smuggling. He has wild paths, is very good at hand and eyes, and can get anything. If he wants to transport all kinds of materials into the mountains, whether by sea or by land, the most convenient way is to pass Yuguan, so the guards of Yuguan have long been bribed by Zhang Guanyu.

After Yelu Dashi became the governor of the Liaoxing Army, he first replaced the defenders in Yuguan. Therefore, Zhang Tianzhang knew nothing about the current Yuguan Army.

Although the Yuguan road was cut off, it doesn't matter. People like Zhang Guanyu must reserve a way out. He has other relationships and secret paths, so he can still get supplies. Through these relationships, Zhang Guanyu knew that Yelu Dashi had brought the main force of the Liaoxing Army north to Jinzhou. Currently, Pingzhou is under the command of Deputy Envoy Zhang Jue, and his troops are relatively empty.

"Do you have a secret path to go directly to Yuguan?" Li Hu was very interested in this matter.

"There is Linyu Mountain at Yuguan and the Yu River below. The terrain is indeed very complicated, but for us, this is nothing. Whether we are taking water or land, we can cross Yuguan." Zhang Tianbang said proudly.

Li Hu believed his words. In order to survive, what can’t be thought of? Now that the rebel army is in a desperate situation of life and death, I don’t believe that I can’t be thought of.

Li Hu held a banquet for entertaining. Because the weather was bad and the road was difficult, there was no war in the short term. He asked Zhang Tianbang to stay for a few more days. As for Dao Shuaidi's suggestion, he should discuss it carefully with the commanders of each army. When there is a result, please return immediately.

While eating and drinking, the wilderness came hurriedly and there was an important military report.

Wu Penglong sent news from Jinzhou.

After Wu Penglong returned to Jinzhou, he used money to bribe and escaped by chance. However, he was punished by death, but he could not be spared. The Jiedushi of Linhai Army was dismissed his official position. A few days later, he was appointed as the inspector of the Jiedushi Mansion and rewarded him with a bite of food. Wu Penglong arrived at the Jiedushi Mansion, and received more news. The money of the rebel army was not given in vain and was spent on the blade.

Wu Penglong is very trustworthy and has always sent information to the rebel army. The news sent today is very important.

The Prime Minister of the Northern Prefecture, Xiao Degong, arrived in Jinzhou and deployed the encirclement and suppression of the rebel army. Yelu Dashi was transferred back to Pingzhou Road to encircle and suppress Dong Panger. The army on the southeast road was instead commanded by Xiao Bao, the envoy of the southeast road. In addition, according to the precise news, the army on the east road was commanded by Yelu Eliye. Xiao Gan returned to the Xi Palace, and Yelu Yuji was about to lead the army to encircle and suppress Zhang Saba.

This personnel transfer immediately attracted the attention of Huang She, Chai Yun and others. The Prime Minister of the Northern Palace personally rushed to Jinzhou to announce this transfer, which was obviously abnormal. Xiao Bao and Yelu Eliye were all in the palace tent. One of them went to Jinzhou to command the southeastern army and the other in Xingzhong Prefecture to command the eastern army. This shows that the main and the main war tent had already gained the upper hand, and the main war tent may be driven away due to a series of failures.

This is a good sign. The fierce struggle of the Liao court may create opportunities for the rebel army to break through.

The ministers of the warlords in the Liao court were definitely unwilling to fail. They would fight back. The best way to counterattack was to use the person who knew that he would still be able to control the person, so that the commander of the military commander of the land would also suffer defeat. As a result, the situation became more and more critical and the war became more and more intense, and the emperor had to use a group of long-standing positions to fight again, so that they had the opportunity to return to the palace tent.

But, where is the opportunity? Where can I find the opportunity to break through?

Just as Li Hu and others were working hard to break out of the siege, the conflict between the rebel army and the resentful army suddenly broke out.

The reason for the outbreak was that refugees suddenly headed south.

In order to promote peace talks as soon as possible, the Jin army launched an attack on the Daling River line. The people of prefectures and counties on both sides of the Daling River fled one after another. The Liao army defended Chuanzhou to the death, and the city gates were closed, refusing to accept refugees. The refugees immediately crossed the glacier and defected to the rebels.

The resentful army was in Qianzhou and Yizhou. The people of these two states were already afraid and saw refugees flocking to them. They heard that the Jin people were coming and left their homes and fled. Like the Liao army, the resentful army was also closed and refused to accept it.

The weather is cold and the earth is cold, and hunger is in turmoil. In desperation, the people continue to go south and run to the tiger.

The rebel army placed the first batch, the second batch, and the third batch... The situation became increasingly critical. The general's office urgently complained to the army for this and asked them to take in appropriate places, appropriately control the road passes, and drive the refugees towards Xingzhong Prefecture. Don't let them cross the Daling River and head straight to Haibei Prefecture. The rebel army is unable to bear it.

The resentful army turned a deaf ear and ignored it. What was especially excessive was that they burned, killed and plundered the two states in Guizhou and Yi, turning the people who were guarding their homes into refugees, and then drove them southward. The resentful army began to deprive others of their own survival, which aroused the anger of the people. After many people arrived in Haibei Prefecture and Quyi Prefecture, they gathered to cause trouble, which triggered small-scale riots several times.

The riots can be put down. People can catch them. But they cannot be given food, which quickly caused the rebel army to fall into a food crisis. Fortunately, there were nearly one million livestock that could replenish the shortage of food, but these were the property of the people. The General's Mansion could forcefully purchase a little, but it would not work if there were too many. You could not cut off the road to survival.

Li Hu had a headache and was at a loss.

If you fight, you can't fight, and you can't kill. If you want to resolve all conflicts in the land, you only need one way to conquer Jinzhou, break through the siege, and then go all the way to attack, attack cities and plunder land, and expand the survival field. Otherwise, if the Khitans don't fight, the rebels will collapse.

Li Hu urgently summoned the commanders of each army to find a way and come up with ideas. In any case, he wanted to take down Jinzhou before the ice thawed. This was the only way for the rebels to survive.

What can we think of at this time? This is a piece of dead land, everyone knows it. However, since Li Hu can lead the rebel army to attack the Targas and Chengzhou, of course there is also a way to attack Jinzhou. So everyone put their hopes on Li Hu. Many people didn't even realize that defeat was imminent, and they were very relaxed when talking and laughing. Anyway, Li Hu was holding him back, and he was blessed by the gods. At the moment of life and death, miracles will naturally happen.

A miracle really happened.

The Hell Army was stationed in Haibei Prefecture. The commander Zhang Gao'er reported urgently that the wind and clouds were coming, and Hou Guai was here.

When Li Hu heard the news, he was surprised and happy, and hurriedly rushed to Haibei Prefecture with Luo Qinghan, Mao Jun, Tieying, Gao Baolong and others.

An hour later, Li Hu finally saw the legendary figure Feng Jueyun.

Feng Guanyun is about thirties, tall and burly, with a long black beard, a square face with purple and black face, and a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle under his thick eyebrows, and an aggressive aura was revealed in every move.

Gao Baolong was very excited and rushed up to hug Feng Juanyun tightly. When they met again, they both had a dreamy feeling.

In history, Li Hong of the Liao Kingdom revolted and was defeated one year later. Later, Raozhou, Shangjing Road, wanted to revolt, but was defeated in half a year.

Anshenger and Zhang Gao'er revolt and were defeated by Longhua. Anshenger was killed by Yelu Mage. Zhang Gao'er led his remaining troops to join Huo Liuge, attacked Yizhou, and then went south to Haibei Prefecture and Quyizhou, and finally defeated in Jinzhou.

The resentful uprising led by Luo Qinghan and Dong Zhongsun was also defeated in Jinzhou.

Hou Jiao's uprising was finally defeated in Chuanzhou, and then surrendered without knowing where to end.

Zhang Saba's grain shooting army was defeated at Mayushan and was destroyed by Yelu Yujian.

Zhang Guanyu's rebel army persisted until the demise of the Liao Kingdom, and it was probably in the end that it would be lost to the Jin Kingdom.

Dong Pang'er revolted, and after his failure, he turned to Taihang and surrendered to Song. He was named Zhao Xu by the Emperor of Song. After Yanjing was destroyed by Song, he led his army to surrender to the Jin people.

The rebels in the Liaohai area, including Wu Caitian, Yunjia, Haijia and other rebels, persisted for several years, but they did not have Yu Jin.

The Song people called themselves Chinese, southerners, while the Han people and Haner belonged to the Han people of the Liao Kingdom. In the eyes of the Song people, the Liao Han people belonged to the Fan race. From the emperors of the Song Dynasty, the scholars and officials to the people, they all called the Han people of the Liao Kingdom as "leaders".

The Liao and Han people were not recognized, which led to discrimination, distrust and humiliation. This was an important reason why the Liao and Han people, including the Yanyun Han people, and many Liao civil and military bureaucrats who defected to the Song Dynasty, eventually chose to betray the Song Dynasty in the later Song and Jin wars.
