Chapter 77 Sitting in the well and watching the sky

An error occurred while processing s private files

Li Hu was very disappointed. For several months, all the things he had been looking forward to were gone, which made him extremely depressed.

Huang She sent off and hurried in to inquire about the talks.

Li Hu did not let Huang She attend the talks because there were many secrets between him and Ma Kuo. If Huang She was present, these secrets would definitely be exposed. Li Hu asked Huang She to sit down and talked about the failure of the Song and Jin alliance, "In this way, the Song people have withdrawn from Liaodong to fight. If we want to survive, we can only rely on ourselves."

Huang She was shocked. The failure of the Song-Jin alliance was something he had never expected. However, the Emperor of Song Dynasty's rashness in decision-making and his arrogance in his bones gave him a glimmer of hope.

"General General, this is a good thing, a great thing." Huang She thought for a long time and suddenly laughed, "Wanyan Aguda thought he was an amazing big man. In fact, he was a bird. He just took the big fox on the northeast road. He actually regarded himself as the hero of the world. Haha... He laughed so hard that the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty was condescending to his noble status and sent an envoy to form an alliance. He actually followed the ladder to the wall and wanted to be on par with the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty. Haha... The frog in the well, the short-sighted captive, what a bullshit."

Li Hu saw him smiling happily, not knowing what it means, and waited patiently for him to finish scolding and asked, "Why is it a good thing?"

"The general general fell into the mystery of Liaodong, just like a frog in a well, and could only see such a big sky." Huang She gestured with both hands and said with a smile, "If you jump out of Liaodong and look at the situation in the world, it is not difficult to find that you are like the Jurchens, short-sighted and treat the Emperor of Song as a little king outside the vassal."

Li Hu pondered for a while and understood, "What do you mean is that in the eyes of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, is he seeing the world?"

"Of course, otherwise, how can the Celestial Empire be the China of the world?" Huang She said happily. "The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was ambitious, and his goal was not only to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but to unify China and foreign countries, and to rebuild the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties. The king had such ambition, of course he would not give up easily. The reason for his severance from the Jin Kingdom was entirely because of the Liao and Jin Kingdom peace talks. What he needed was the enemy of the Liao Kingdom, not the allies of the Liao Kingdom. Look at Liaodong, who is the enemy of the Khitan people now? Only us."

Li Hu's heart suddenly came alive. Countless inspirations flashed through his mind like lightning, yes, yes. I went astray, but when I changed my thinking, I suddenly realized.

"Please ask Ma Kuo again."

Ma Kuo is here again, I wonder what Li Hu has had another idea.

There was more Huang She in the room, and he talked a lot.

Can the current strength of the rebel army affect the situation in Liaodong? Of course, Ma Kuo admits this. The rebel army has 100,000 infantry and cavalry, more than 500 sea ships of all sizes and hundreds of thousands of people. Although it is deeply in danger and full of dangers, from another perspective, it is safe for the time being. However, due to the barren territory, it cannot grow and grow, and there is no bright future. Was the Emperor of the Song Dynasty determined to recover Yanyun and establish the great cause of unification of China and foreign countries? There is no doubt that Ma Kuo also admits that the emperor once said that regaining Yanyun can not only regain his hometown, abolish annual monies, and wash away his previous shame, but also realizes the dream of unification of China and foreign countries on this basis.

In this case, when the Liao and Jin dynasties could reach peace, who could help the Emperor of Song realize his dream? It is undoubtedly the common enemy of the Liao and Jin dynasties, the Liaodong Rebel Army.

Since the Emperor of the Song Dynasty could surrender and actively sent envoys to form an alliance with the Jin Kingdom, why could not accept the Liaodong Yijun, a vassal state?

The alliance between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom is a relationship between countries. If the Liao Kingdom is eliminated in the future, it will still be confronted with the Jin Kingdom. The Song Dynasty and the Liaodong Rebel Army have a relationship with the monarch and ministers. If the Liao Kingdom is eliminated in the future, the territory occupied by the Liaodong Rebel Army belongs to the Song Dynasty, and the Liaodong Rebel Army guards the border for it. Where can I find such good things?

When the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom joined forces, the interests were divided equally. If the Liaodong Rebel Army joined forces, the interests would all belong to the Song Dynasty. The pros and cons of the two were clearly visible at a glance. With the great power of the Song Dynasty and the great monarch of the Song Emperor, there should not be no such vision or talent, right?

Ma Kuo was convinced by Huang She.

Many things are like climbing a mountain. When you are at the foot of the mountain, you will be surrounded by clouds and mist and you will not see anything. When you reach the top of the mountain and look down at the foot of the mountain, you will see all the mountains.

Huang She wrote a letter to the Emperor of Song Dynasty in the name of Li Hudi, humble and respectful, burying the meaning he wanted to express in humble words.

Ma Kuo thought for a long time and invited Huang She as the special envoy of the Liaodong military and local governments to Bianjing in person.

If you want to convince the emperor, you must first convince Cai Jing and Tong Guan. One of them controls political affairs and the other controls military affairs, which is the emperor's right-hand man. If you cannot impress these two priests, it will be useless to say anything. As for Ma Kuo and his position are low and his position, it is difficult to say whether he can present the emperor in person. On the contrary, if Huang She goes, even if the emperor does not meet him in person, he will send a priest to meet him.

Huang She volunteered without saying a word.

This mission is definitely not dangerous. The key is whether it can be successful. If it is successful, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty accepted the Liaodong Rebel Army, then the assistance will be continuous, and the next battle will be easy to fight, and the future and future will be available. Just wait for Pingzhou Road to be captured. The rebel army is also a force in Liaodong. The position of the vassal state will definitely be as solid as a solid person and firmly sit firmly.

Li Hu agreed and asked Huang She to bring generous gifts, a thousand war horses, and to go to the Song Dynasty with the horses. It would prove that I was from the Song Dynasty, and this trip to Bianjing would greatly increase the hope of success."

Ma Kuo resolutely denied it.

Li Hudi's life experience cannot be said, nor dare to say it. What did he say? He said that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is your enemy and the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty is your enemy. Will you return to the Song Dynasty? Definitely no, even if it does, it will be temporary. Just wait for the time to ripe and you will rebel, and then your sin will be great.

"Don't mention this matter from now on." Ma Kuo warned, "I don't believe it, and others don't believe it. If it is spread, it will be bad for you. You are now the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Rebel Army and have a large group of famous people under your command. These people may not be loyal to you, and there are those with ulterior motives. Once they are exploited, the consequences will be very serious."

It would be fine if he didn't say this. After he said this, Li Hu further concluded that Ma Kuo had been to his hometown. His father never told his enemies the name of the place, nor did he say why the Li family was destroyed. Every time he asked, he always did it perfunctorily. From this point of view, his life experience was very famous, otherwise Ma Kuo would never be like his father. He knew it but denied it.

The future is stable and you have time, so you must check it carefully.

At this moment, the generals of Jinzhou gathered, and everyone had not seen Li Hu for a long time. They all went to the generals' house to pay their respects. During the chat, the generals asked the same question at the same time, when would they go south to attack Youyan?

When Li Hu started to go south to break through the encirclement from the mountain city, he once said in the military discussion that after the rebel army gained a foothold in Heishan, it would attack Youyan. Occupying Youyan was the ultimate goal of the rebel army's development southward development. Now a few months have passed, the Liao army has not started a new round of encirclement and suppression, and the Jin army has not moved. After the Jinzhou War, it only attacked Longhua for a while, and then it stopped. Judging from the entire situation in Liaodong, the three forces have temporarily maintained a confrontation, all of whom are resting their energy and looking for opportunities to attack their opponents.

Among the three forces, the Rebel Army is the weakest. Although it has received the help of Yun Haijun and spared no effort to open up sea trade, which has alleviated the rebel army's food and finance crisis to a certain extent, this can only solve the urgent problem. If you want to survive well, you must also conquer a territory that is enough to support the rebel army. Therefore, the generals naturally believed that Li Hu had been on Taohua Island for several months and must have been planning an attack strategy.

The high enthusiasm and strong confidence of the generals made Li Hu feel very comforted and understood their urgent mood very well, but it is not a good opportunity to go south to attack, so he had to explain it again and again.

The Khitans were still unwilling to bow their proud heads and refused to recognize the Great Jin Kingdom. The Jurchens' strategies changed as a result. Wanyan Aguda seemed to have given up peace talks and actively sought attacks in order to completely defeat the Khitans and occupy the territory of the Great Liao.

The strategic change of the Jin Dynasty led to the rebel army's strategy of joining the Jin Dynasty to attack Liao in crisis. It is obvious that if the two sides joined forces to eliminate the Liao Kingdom, what is the way out for the rebel army? The Liao Kingdom was destroyed. With the greed and arrogance of the Jurchens, the rebel army would never let the benefit of Liaodong. It would inevitably take advantage of the situation to attack and kill the rebel army. From the current situation, it is inferred that the rebel army has no chance to grow and grow. In other words, after the destruction of the Liao Dynasty, the rebel army could not defeat the Jurchens, and it was reasonable to lose.
