The Khitans coveted the Central Plains for decades, but failed in the end. One of the big reasons is that it only has two attack routes, one is the main battlefield in Hebei and the other is the restricted battlefield in Daibei. If the northwest battlefield is added, it is hard to say whether the Song people can defend the Central Plains.

In addition, if the Jurchens want to achieve the goal of unification between China and foreign countries, it is still a big obstacle, that is, the desert and the foreign countries.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Tuoba Xianbei failed to unify China, largely because they were under the attacks between the countries of the Southern Dynasties and the Rouran people in the desert. If the Jurchens failed to sweep the desert and conquered the desert, not only would the dream of unifying the north be realized, but the grand aspiration for unifying China and foreign countries would be even less important.

In this way, the situation is very clear. Putting aside the weak Li Hu and the Khitans for the time being, the biggest opponent of the Jurchens to achieve unification of China and foreign countries was the Song Dynasty, and the biggest opponent of the Jurchens to unify the north was the Xixia and the Desert Bifans.

The Jurchens must first unify the north. In the chaotic northern situation, if they want to realize this dream, the Jurchens must use the power of their allies to help themselves achieve their goals.

Who was the biggest ally of the Jurchens? The Song and Jin Dynasties had an alliance. Xijing and Yanjing were fought from the Song Dynasty, Zhongjing was fought from the Jin Dynasty. As for Daibei and Damo, the alliance was not mentioned, but in terms of geographical location, of course, it should also be fought from the Jin Dynasty. Now this alliance can be taken out and used.

Considering that it was time to discuss peace with Li Hu, the Jurchens had to make concessions and give Daibei to Li Hu, while the Jurchens went to conquer the desert. Compared with Daibei and the desert, the territory was incomparable. What was more important was that once the desert was conquered, the Jurchens harvested not only thousands of miles of territory, but also the tents of the foreigners, the army of the foreigners and tens of millions of livestock.

In this way, the most intense conflict between the Song and Jin countries, as well as the Jurchens and Li Hu was eliminated. Although both Song and Li Hu knew that the consequence of the Jurchens conquering the desert was that the Jurchens became the mighty ruler of the north, they were unable to take into account the desert, and their strength was not enough to extend to the desert. They could only defend the northern border like the previous dynasties and defend the Great Wall to block the invasion of the Northern Territories.

The conflict between the Song, Jin and Han was temporarily alleviated. Then the Jin Kingdom could throw out bait and use the power of the Song and Li Hu to destroy the Western Xia. When the Jurchens conquered the desert, the Song and Han coalition forces were also attacking the Western Xia. When the Jurchens conquered the desert, the Song and Han coalition forces and Xixia were probably also defeated.

At this time, the people of Xixia must rescue the Jin Kingdom, while the Jurchens took the opportunity to gather the forces of the foreign lands in the desert to kill the western frontier. With such a slight effort, they could not only severely damage the Song and Han coalition forces, but also destroy the Western Xia and seize the western frontier, become the northern overlord, and achieve a confrontation between the north and the south with the Song Dynasty.

At that time, the Jurchens were like the northern enemy in all dynasties. Just like the Huns, Xianbeis, Rourans and Turks, the territory extended from the northeast to the Western Regions, with unprecedented strength. They were enough to go south to attack China and realize the grand ambition of unification between China and foreign countries. How to release this bait? How to drag the Song people into the northwest battlefield?

It's very simple. Li Hu is the bait. As long as Li Hu is satisfied, the people of the Song Dynasty will definitely be dragged into the northwest battlefield.

Li Hu was ambitious. He wanted to gain a foothold in Daibei and dominate the north. Once the Jurchens decided to join forces with Li Hu and hand over Daibei to Li Hu, the people who were most afraid of were the Xixia people, because at that time, the Xixia people were attacked from both sides, with the Song army in Shaanxi and the Han army in Daibei. If the Dangxiang people wanted to defend their territory, the only way was to join forces with the Khitans and take the initiative to attack. Taking advantage of the Song people's failure to recover Youyan, and taking advantage of the Song people's extreme fear of Li Hu, they took the initiative to attack Li Hu.

Of course, Li Hu's power alone could not resist the Western Xia. When Li Hu was defeated, the Song Dynasty lost the North and the best opportunity to destroy the Western Xia and regain the western frontier territory. Therefore, the Song Dynasty would definitely send troops at a critical moment. So a war to attack the Western Xia and regain the western frontier began.

At this moment, the Jurchens formed an alliance with the Song and Han, while secretly forming Xixia, quietly peeking on the side, sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight, waiting for the opportunity to launch a fatal blow.

Zong Han wrote a detailed strategy to unify the north, one was sent to Zhongjing to send people to Wanyan Aguda, one to Hulie Mansion to buy it for Wu Qi, and one to Yuanyangluo to Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Yu.

The most surprising thing about this strategy is that it completely subverted the Jurchens' strategy of unifying the north, resolutely gave up Daibei, and gave up all prefectures and counties south of Xijing and Yinshan.

After abandoning Daibei, look at the situation in the north and the general trend of the world, and suddenly becomes clear. The Jurchens transform from passive to active in an instant. In this world, only by giving up can you gain. Giving up the immediate benefits will not only have a long-term vision, but also have greater interests and a brighter future. Daibei is still the territory of the Jurchens after all.

When Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Yu saw this report, their eyes suddenly lit up, their thinking was wide open, and they admired Zong Han's talents, but they were also very jealous. Wanyan Aguda has always appreciated Zong Han, and after Sagai died last time, he even opposed the opposition and made Zong Han become extremely strong and enter the power center of the Jin Kingdom. Now it seems that Wanyan Aguda's choice is very correct.

This report appeared very timely, and it actually denied the Huanglong Mansion's strategy of unifying the northern region. In other words, the great defeat of the killing tiger mouth was not because of the unfavorable battle, but because of the strategic mistakes that directly led to failure. The guilt of the front-line commander and the soldiers was pardoned. Zong Han pushed the blame of the defeat to the emperor and Huanglong Mansion, and it was reasonable and well-founded. This was his most brilliant point.

Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Yushu told Zong Han, agreed to his strategy, and asked him to negotiate with Li Hu immediately. On the way to the front line.

In the heavy rain, a rider rushed to the wind and lightning, whistling.

Yanjing was anxious to write, and Empress Xiao’s handwritten letter was urgent. Li Hu was a little nervous and hurriedly opened the letter in the rain.

Four days ago, Yelu Chun passed away, Empress Xiao blocked the news and asked Li Hu for help.

Li Hu suddenly suffocated and was extremely shocked. Although he expected Yelu Chun to die soon, he suddenly died of illness at this moment, which was so bad that it could not be worse for Datong.

Li Hu put the letter into his arms, pushed the iron guard away, and walked alone in the heavy rain, confused, anxious, fearful... All kinds of emotions surged into his heart, making his eyes dark.

When Yelu Chun dies, Yanjing will inevitably be in chaos, and the battle of authority will inevitably turn into bloody killing. At this moment, the Song army is not ready for a second Northern Expedition. It is confronted with the Jin army and has no time to go south. The Jin army on the front line of Zhongjing can enter Yanjing with a swagger and take Youyan into his pocket.

What should I do now? The only way is to negotiate peace with Zong Han and ask the Jin army to withdraw from Fengshengzhou. Then Li Hu led his army to quickly cross Yehu Ridge and kill Juyong Pass directly to ensure the safety of Yanjing. This time, he might have to arrive in Yanjing in person to save the crisis in Yanjing.

Late at night on June 15, Li Hu arrived at the front line.

Dong Xiaochou arrived half a day earlier than him and invited Mao Jun, Dong Zhongsun, Zhang Guanyu and the commanders of each army to the commander's tent.

The military commanders were originally very happy, but when they saw Li Hu's face turned pale and walked into the tent with water all over his body, they immediately felt that something big had happened and the atmosphere became tense.

"I want to make peace with the Jin army." Li Hu took off his pocket, took off his armor, and wiped the rain on his face with a sweat towel, while saying to the generals, "What do you think?"

Discussing peace? The tent suddenly became chaotic, and some people could still remain calm, but Dugu Feng, Wu Xiong and Ying Qin jumped up. Dugu Feng even shouted and yelled at Li Hu. His Shenlong Army suffered heavy losses by the Zhenchuan River and was about to take revenge, but Li Hu stopped fighting and wanted to negotiate peace.

"What's the name?" Li Hu stared at Dugu Feng and pointed outside the tent, "Get out, when will I figure it out before coming in?"

Dugu Feng was so angry that he pulled the pony down and hit the ground fiercely. He ran out in anger, standing in the rain and roared wildly. He finally won, and his morale was like a rainbow. It was the best time to attack the Golden Dog. Li Hu actually wanted to negotiate peace. It was simply outrageous and he couldn't figure it out, "I want to kill people, I want to kill people..."

"General Manager..." Wu Xiong also shouted at the top of his voice.

"Get out." Li Hu didn't give him a chance to speak at all. "If you don't agree to peace, get out of me."

The dozen soldiers in the tent were so handsome that they were so angry that they ran out with red faces and thick necks. Only Mao Jun, the three old coaches, Dong Zhongsun and Zhang Guanyu, sat there without saying a word.

Li Hu stood in front of the map with his hands on his back and remained silent.

Old Dong coughed twice and asked carefully: "General Manager, what conditions do you plan to negotiate peace with?"

"What is the purpose of the Jurchens coming to Daibei?" Li Hu turned around and looked at him and asked.

"Of course, we will unify the north and become the hero of the north." Old Dong stroked his beard and smiled.

"Who among the northern foreign countries will become the biggest obstacle to the Jin Dynasty's unification of the north?"

"Of course they are Dangxiang people." Old Dong said, "The Khitans are no longer able. The deserts are fighting each other. The people who can really threaten the Jurchens to be the heroic ruler of the north are the Xixia people. The Xixia people are guarding a corner of the northwest and have survived in the cracks between the Song and Liao dynasties for decades. Now they have finally encountered an opportunity that can soar into the sky. How could Dangxiang people miss it?"

"So, if the Jurchens leave, the Xixia people will hit me?"

"Of course." Old Dong smiled, "The Jurchens left, and the Liaoxia coalition forces would come over. We have suffered such a great loss. If the Liaoxia coalition forces do not take the opportunity to retake Xijing, they will be idiots."

Li Hu nodded slightly, "If we want to gain a foothold in Daibei, our main enemy is Xixia; if the Jurchens want to unify the north, our main enemy is Xixia, so we have a common enemy with the Jurchens."
