Yuanye hesitated for a moment and whispered: "General Commander. Time... this time is probably too late."

The closest journey from Taiyuan to Fuzhou is more than 500 miles. It takes time to travel back and forth. However, the battlefield situation is too tense, especially the battlefield. If the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty fail to arrive in the short term, the entire battle situation will be very unfavorable to the rebel army.

Li Hu turned his head to look at Wu Siming. Since the Zhe family sent Wu Siming to Datong during the outbreak of the war, the Zhe family obviously had a relatively accurate judgment on the situation in Yunzhonglu. The Zhe family expected that the Jin army would definitely attack, so they dared to threaten it. From this, the Zhe family should consider that the time when the two sides established contact and reached a compromise and the time when reinforcements headed north should not conflict. If Li Hu was defeated and Datong was lost, what's the point if the negotiation was successful?

Wu Siming felt happy when he saw Li Hu agreeing without thinking. This Li Hu was indeed a hero from the north. He could take it and let it go. He looked like he didn't care about this loss of profit at all. His mind and courage were enough to prove that Li Hu was a character and his future achievements were extraordinary. No wonder his elder brother Song Jiang and his elder brother Wu Yong came to the northwest. He heard that Li Hu fought from western Liaoning to Daibei and occupied the mountain. He immediately placed his hope of Liangshan's rise again on Li Hu. Now it seems that this move is right.

When Wu Siming was happy, he found Li Hu looking at him. He hurriedly said, "The Zhe family has lived in the prefectures for many years. Whoever served as the prefectures and prefectures? Whoever speaks in the prefectures and prefectures and prefectures is Zhe Keqiu. I came to Datong to pay homage to the King of Tiger. I followed his orders. Before leaving, Zhe Keqiu told me that if the King of Tiger is willing to sit down and have a good talk with the Zhe family about the future northwest situation, then hand it to the King of Tiger." Wu Siming took out a letter from his arms, raised his hands high, and handed it to Li Hu respectfully.

Li Hu took the letter and did not take it apart. Instead, he handed it to Yuanye. Yuanye immediately tore open the wax seal and took out the letter and read it carefully.

"How did Zhe Keqiu find you?" Li Hu looked at Wu Siming and asked in confusion. "How did he know that there were any contacts between us?"

"Does the Tiger King know about Yang Zhi?" Wu Siming asked. Li Hu nodded. The green-faced beast Yang Zhi. The famous character in "Water Margin". Of course I know.

"After we surrendered in Haizhou, three people left the Liangshan Army and went to the local government for their family background. One was Yang Zhi. He was a descendant of the Yang family in Linzhou, northwest. Now he was a general under Zhong Shidao. The other was Hu Yanzhuo. He was from Taiyuan in the northwest. He was a descendant of Hu Yanzan. Now he was a governor in Taiyuan. The other was Guan Sheng. He went to Jinan for inspection." Wu Siming said. "I heard that Zhe Keqiu said. Yang Zhi followed Zhe Keqiu to Hebei to participate in the Northern Expedition and served as the deputy commander of the Selected Front Army. The matter between us was Yang Zhi told Zhe Keqiu to the land."

Li Hu nodded slightly. The Song Dynasty recruited Song Jiang, but was afraid that he would rebel again. Of course, he would split his internal affairs. In today's chaotic times, sometimes raising the flag to rebel and be pilgrimated is also the best way to become an official. Yang Zhi took Shiyin to inherit the road of inheritance and was not going smoothly. He took the road of rebellion and being pilgrimated. It seemed that he was doing well.

"Brother Song took us to raise the flag and rebel again. He originally wanted to cross the river and meet Fang La. Who knew that Fang La would be wiped out without long support. After surrendering again, the Song court drove us all to the northwest. The Zhe family was responsible for the custody. Zhe Keqiu was worried that we would rebel again. So far, there was no weapons or military pay. We just gave us enough food and clothing." Wu Siming was very angry. But he was also helpless. "After Zhe Keqiu found Brother Song, Brother Song proposed a condition. If this matter was done, we would give us weapons and military pay..."

"Do you think he will give it?" Li Hu asked with a smile. "This time he went north to support Datong. Zhe Keqiu can give you Liangshan Army a chance. But he didn't. It can be seen that he doesn't trust you at all. He doesn't want to trust you."

Wu Siming sighed. "The people of Liangshan are very hard now. For several months, we have been working hard labor. We have been working hard labor for barely living. Originally, we were only about 6,000 families with our family. But the government took this opportunity to drive out the Liangshanbo area and those who were close to us, even friends and neighbors. Now we have more than 12,000 people. There are only more than 3,000 strong men who can fight. The Zhe family thinks we are a big burden and always want to force us away." Wu Siming looked at Li Hu, and his eyes showed a pleading look. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak. "Brother Lin's illness is actually not serious. But we don't have money to get medicine for him. He forced to do it with us. After a winter, he won't do it."

Li Hu knew what Wu Siming meant. He touched the beard on his chin and carefully considered whether to take it in.

Judging from the current situation in Liangshan, people are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are slaughtering the land. It is estimated that they will be eaten alive by the Zhe family in no time.

In fact, the Zhe family also has difficulties. The food and drink of more than 10,000 people is a problem. The placement of more than 10,000 people is even more problematic. Especially the headache for them is that Song Jiang and their brothers are not ordinary people. Since the early Song Dynasty, Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun rebelled, they have been rebelling for more than 100 years. Song Jiang is the second big rebel to raise the flag to rebel. Moreover, he is still near the capital, rebelling at the feet of the emperor, and fighting in all directions. The one who stands invincible for a time is invincible. This is too powerful. This master should kill him. If you don’t kill him, he will rebel sooner or later.

"We are from the Central Plains. Coming to the northwest is actually equivalent to exile. The reason why the court did not kill us and exiled us to the northwest is to appease the people's hearts. The second is that someone in Bianjing wants to kill us." Wu Siming's pleading eyes became even stronger. "The Zhe family is forcing us to rebel. Then they took us into a pot."

"Who wants to kill you?" Li Hu asked.

"Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, Gao Qiu..." Wu Siming said a few names. "We rebelled to do the way for heaven and to kill traitors. We wrote it very clearly in the manifesto. Moreover, we have also killed many of their relatives, friends and old officials over the years. We have a deep hatred for each other. The reason why Brother Song rebelled again is that he knew that these people would definitely not let us go."

When Li Hu heard Cai Jing's name, his face suddenly became cold. Something that a bitch raised would give me a few more years to live. Just wait for me to gain a foothold in Daibei. I must kill you and your whole family.

"Come to Yunzhong. Come to me." Li Hu said decisively. "I am now the King of Han of the Song Dynasty. The vassal state of the Song Dynasty. Yunzhong Road is my territory."

Wu Siming had been praying for this sentence. When he really heard this sentence, he could no longer control his emotions. Tears suddenly rolled down.

Wu Siming knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times hard, and choked and lost his voice. "Thank you for the grace of King Han."

"Get up." Li Hu knocked on the case and signaled Wu Siming not to be too excited. "Actually, we are a family. Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, and Wu Song both have deep connections. Last time I sent someone to Huainan to find you. It was because of them. Unfortunately, I couldn't rescue you. I have always felt guilty about this. I finally met again this time. I will not miss the opportunity again. I will definitely rescue you." After a pause, Li Hu said again. "But now I have joined the Song Dynasty. Liangshan is nominally affiliated with the Northwest Army of the Song Dynasty. It is not a matter of one word to pull you into the clouds. It will definitely take some trouble. I want to discuss it with the Zhe family."

Wu Siming naturally knew the trouble. Li Hu suddenly proposed to ask for the Liangshan people. Although the Zhe family didn't know what Li Hu was trying to do, they would definitely take the opportunity to ask for the price. Li Hu was going to lose money again.

"What do you say about Zhe Keqiu?" Li Hu asked, pointing to the letter in Yuanye's hand.

"Zhe Keqiu said that on the 20th day, he went to Ningwu Pass to wait for the special envoy of Datong." Yuanye said. "The Zhe family was prepared for a long time. This negotiation may be detrimental to us."

"No." Li Hu smiled. "If the Zhe family was insatiable, they would have been uprooted. The reason why the Zhe family had a history of more than 400 years in the northwest was because they knew how to adapt, know how to advance and retreat, and know how to be severity. A family that survived with martial arts went from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty and went through several dynasties. The survival technique among them was not simple. It is worth learning from."

Yuanye smiled and disagreed. It was rare for four hundred years of generals and families to be born. But this could only appear in China. Before the Song Dynasty, the vassal states were raging, and the generals were prominent. In the Song Dynasty, the generals were scarce. They could only rely on the generals and the army to support the military power of the Song Dynasty. If we change the direction, the Zhe family did not rely on the Central Plains but on the North. He was in the Great Liao or the Western Xia. He did not have the glory and status today.

Why did the Zhe family immediately form an alliance with Li Hu after major changes in the situation in the northwest? This is the reason. He must ensure the interests of the Northwest generals and families. As long as there are strong enemies in the north, the Zhe family can be passed on from generation to generation.

Li Hu was a Han captain, a warrior, and a vassal state. Li Hu's development in the northwest will directly affect the interests of the Northwest generals and families. Everyone is in the northwest and turns against each other for revenge and kills each other, so that others can only be better off. It is better to be brothers and work together to manage the northwest. Everyone has wealth.

"What are the conditions for getting the land?" Li Hu asked again.

Yuanye handed the letter to Li Hu and Wu Siming in person. Some things cannot be said.

Li Hu looked carefully. Zhe Keqiu said a lot in his letter, but it mainly focused on the Northwest strategy.

The Northwest strategy of the Song Dynasty mainly included two aspects. One was the defense of the Western Xia and the other was the defense of the Liao Kingdom. Before the Song Dynasty recovered Yanyun, the Song Dynasty had a passive defense. Although many northwest commanders proposed extremely offensive elastic defense, it was still a defense. Moreover, most of the time, the Song Dynasty still adopted passive defense, blindly defending the fortress and unwilling to engage in field battles. Even after the Song Dynasty seized Tiandu Mountain and Hengshan and established its strategic advantage over the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty still focused on passive defense.

Tong Guan was in charge of the Northwest military for 20 years. He always adopted active defense. Although he achieved many achievements, his defeat was also outstanding. As a result, the Privy Council, Tong Guan and the Northwest Army generals had fierce conflicts in the Northwest strategy. The contradictions were irreconcilable. When Tong Guan had outstanding achievements, he was in charge of the Privy Council. But in order to alleviate the conflict, the emperor still let Zheng Juzhong take charge of the Privy Council in order to find a balance between the Privy Council, the Commander of the Northwest Army (Tong Guan) and the Generals of the Northwest Army.
