An error occurred while processing s private files

On the eighth day of the second month, the first heavy snow fell from the sky this winter. The white T-Dance, overnight, the mountains and rivers were covered with silver makeup, and they were divided into enchanting.

Because the snow was too heavy and the visibility was too low, Li Hu was forced to give up his itinerary and stayed in Juyongguan. However, the weather was not good, and the heavy snow lasted for three days at once, resulting in too deep snow and people could do it.

On December 11, the snow was getting lower and Li Hu was about to set off. Longzhu Daxian suddenly sent news from Yanjing that the Liao army at Gubeikou was short of clothes and food, and the army was completely lost, and surrendered to the Jin army. The Jin army then occupied Gubeikou, and the army rushed south and killed Tanzhou. The Liao army in Tanzhou was defeated without fighting. Xiao Gan heard the news and hurriedly led his army out of Yanjing and rushed to Lulong Pass in the wind and snow.

Although Li Hu expected Xiao Gan to give up Yanjing, he did not expect that the Liao army had only lasted for four days in Gubeikou. Even Xiao Gan himself could not imagine the amazing speed of giving up. He could have spent the winter in Yanjing, and then Zhang Jue from Pingzhou Road established a covenant and obtained food and grass support from Pingzhou Road, but now he can do nothing but escape.

Li Hu had no choice but to look at the empty Yanjing. Although he was willing to take it down, he could only stare at him due to the situation. Guo Bao, who came to send the message, saw that Li Hu was indifferent and had no intention of sending troops. He was so angry that he cursed, "You looted Yanjing, making the people in Yanjing hungry and cold, and had a hard time living. Now you even have to send them to the Jurchens as slaves. Are you still human? Do you still have humanity?"

Li Hu's face was as cold as frost, and he didn't say a word, allowing Guo Bao to insult him. Tieying, Huang She and others were furious and wished that they could drag the lawless Taoist priest out and chop him.

"The master said that this time if you give up Yanjing, abandon hundreds of thousands of people in Yanjing, and ignore the life and death of millions of people in Youyan, the master will leave you, and the Tao of Tianshi will abandon you and no longer do anything for you." Guo Bao blushed and shouted loudly, "Because you are not the king of our Han people, you are a demon, you are a butcher, and you are a bloody beast that devours living things."

"Zhi Niang, you're looking for death." Dugu Feng couldn't help it anymore. He rushed up and punched Guo Bao to the ground, then chopped him on his face with one kick. Blood suddenly flowed out, "Drag it out for me."

An iron guard ran over, grabbed Guo Bao's feet and dragged it away.

"You are not the King of Tiger, you are not the son of the King of Han, you are the evil seed of the French captives. The Han people in Liaodong are blind and they actually regard you as king..." Guo Bao opened his fingers and clenched on the ground, drew blood, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Youyan's Han people will curse you, their undead will curse you in hell for generations. You are not a human, you are a devil, you have killed them, you make them live worse than death, let their wives and children be separated, let them live like livestock for generations, God will punish you, and will let you die without a place to die."

The people in the tent were stunned by Guo Bao's screams and were stunned by the ten bloody fingerprints on the ground. They suddenly realized that they were Han people, and they were a family with Youyan's Han people.

"Let him go." Dugu Feng suddenly ran over and pushed the iron guard away. He picked up Guo Bao from the ground. He walked in front of Li Hu in three or two steps. He knelt down on one knee and shouted sternly: "General Commander. I want to fight Yanjing."

Li Hu stared at Dugu Feng, put his hands on the table and trembled gently, and his murderous aura was filled with murderous aura. He also wanted to conquer Yanjing. But what should he do after conquer Yanjing? Even if he defeated the Jin army, even if he gave Yanjing to the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty would still kill him. In the future, the Jurchens roared down. Not only the Han people in Youyan could not be protected, but even the Han people in the northern regions would become slaves in the Jin Dynasty. This cost was too great.

"General General. Why do we withdraw from Yanjing? Why can't we attack Yanjing? Why?" Li Jin suddenly rushed to Li Hu and shouted angrily. "Tell me why can't we attack?"

"The Prime Minister and the Recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is my wish for generations. The Prime Minister and the Prime Minister have repeatedly set the goal of regaining Yanyun." Yue Fei also stood up and gave a deep respect to Li Hu. "The Prime Minister and the Prime Minister are now an empty city. We just need to run over and take over Yanjing in less than a day. Why do you want to give up this opportunity?"

Li Hu gritted his teeth and waved at the Iron Guards, signaling them to take Guo Bao away. Guo Bao was still screaming at the top of his throat. The Iron Guard was furious and knocked him out with a punch and dragged him away.

"General Commander..." Dugu Feng shouted again. "Give me ten thousand troops. I promise to capture Yanjing."

"Do you think I don't want to take Yanjing?" Li Hu stood up suddenly and roared at Dugufeng, "I want to take it too, but if I take Yanjing, we will be done, do you know?"

No one can understand this. The novel mobile site

Li Hu let out a long breath, suppressed his anger, and said slowly: "Get up first, listen to my explanation for you."

On November 13, Wanyan Aguda led the Jin army to capture Yanjing and immediately sent Zong Pan to occupy Changping to defend against Li Hu of Juyong Pass, and at the same time prepared to attack Pingzhou Road.

At this moment, Wu Qimai's book said that a tribe in Jurchen rebelled and Huanglong Mansion was in chaos. Wanyan Aguda asked to return to help quickly. Wanyan Aguda was shocked and immediately gave up attacking Pingzhou Road. He ordered Zong Fu to lead 30,000 Meng'an Mouke to quickly help, ordered Zong Wang to withdraw to western Liaoning and rush to Tokyo to prevent the seamen from taking the opportunity to rebel.

Wanyan Aguda considers the unstable northeast road and the situation in Youyan is extremely complicated, while the Jin army is scattered on multiple battlefields and cannot concentrate its forces on Youyan to fight. What's more serious is that Li Hu plundered Yanjing.

There was almost nothing valuable left behind in the city and population. The T-season stayed here, and the consumption of feeding the population this winter was very amazing. So he decided to recruit Zhang Jue from Fupingzhou Road to get Pingzhou Road first, and then return Yanjing and Shanqian Qizhou to the Song Dynasty according to the Song-Jin alliance. Of course, the Song Dynasty had to pay a high price for this.

Zhang Jue had no choice but to be dependent.

Before the envoys of the Jin Kingdom rushed to Bianjing, the envoys of the Song Dynasty arrived. Tong Guan asked the writing machine of Xuanfu Department Yi Wang Gui to visit Wanyan Aguda to test the words of the Jin emperor. Unexpectedly, Wanyan Aguda was very generous and offered to return Yanjing. However, the Jin Kingdom proposed that the Song Dynasty would give all the annual monies originally given to the Liao Kingdom to the Jin Kingdom, and in addition, he would also give the Jin Kingdom a million ounces of tax money for Yanjing every year.

Tong Guan and Liu Wei were both surprised and happy when they heard the news. He never expected that things would go so smoothly. The Jurchens were trustworthy and generous. Compared with Wanyan Aguda, Li Hu was just in the sky and in the ground. At this time, they forgot about Li Hu's benefits. If Li Hu had not been the 100,000 army of Li Hu was dominated by Juyongguan, would the Jurchens return to Yanjing so readily?

One hundred and fifty cents were bought back from the seven states in front of the mountain. This was too cheap, and it was unimaginable. The Jurchens and the barbarians of foreign countries did not know that the wealth of the Song Dynasty was 1.5 million cents a year, which was a drizzle for the Song Dynasty and was not worth mentioning at all.

Xuanfusi's Office urgently reported to Bianjing. When Bianjing received this good news, he was immediately ecstatic, and there was joy in the court inside and outside, and in the court and the government.

On December 20, Li Hu received two good news.

Luo Sinan gave birth to a baby boy, Li Hu had a son and became a father.

The second good news is that the Xixia people withdrew their troops. Three days after the first heavy snowfall, two heavy snowfalls followed. The Xixia people had no choice but to retreat to Yunnei. Gao Baolong stopped after arriving in Huairen City due to heavy snowfall, and then ordered to return to Datong and gave up the strategy of raiding.

When the Xixia people withdrew their troops, the Jin army had already withdrawn Yuanyang and stayed in the warm tent to hibernate, but they soon received the news that the emperor had captured Yanjing, which was sent directly from Juyongguan.

After Wanyan Aguda took Gubeikou, he learned from the surrendered generals of the Liao army that Li Hu had voluntarily given up Yanjing, which surprised him and was puzzled. Could it be that the Xixia people broke through the Datong defense line and threatened the safety of Datong? After he surrounded Yanjing, he did not dare to enter the city for several days, for fear of being trapped by Li Hu. It was not until Zong Pan occupied Changping that he led his army into the city. Later, he immediately sent Yang Pu to Juyongguan to visit Li Hu. In order to allow the Xixia people to withdraw their troops as soon as possible, Li Hu took the initiative to provide the Jin army with a direct channel to the mandarin ducks, so that the two could communicate with each other at the fastest speed.

When Zonghan heard that the emperor wanted to return the seven prefectures in front of the mountain to the Song Dynasty, he immediately dissuaded him and asked the emperor to consider it carefully. He suggested that Yizhou and prefecture determine the border of Song and Jin, but the emperor refused Zonghan's suggestion. What he was most worried about now was that the Northeast Road was the stability of the Jurchen Alliance. Without a stable Huanglong Mansion, what would be the use of winning the battle in the front? So he did not want to be an enemy of the Song Dynasty at present. On the contrary, he wanted to maintain the alliance and use the return of Youyan as bait to obtain more money from the Song Dynasty, establish close contacts with the Song Dynasty, so as to improve the Jin Dynasty's embarrassing finances and stabilize the entire Northeast Road.

The emperor replied to Zonghan that the Jin Dynasty's strategy to unify the north was to conquer the desert first. Therefore, the Jin Dynasty needed to maintain a covenant with the Song Dynasty, maintain a close alliance with Li Hu, and at the same time help the Song Dynasty and Li Hu attack Xixia. The emperor also believed that allowing the Song Dynasty and Li Hu to attack Xixia would not only relieve the pressure on the defense line of the Zhongjing, but also allow the Jin army to concentrate its efforts to conquer the desert, but also consume the strength of the Song Dynasty and Li Hu, laying a good foundation for the Jin army to unify the entire north in the future.

Starting from this goal, the Jurchens must clearly add one thing in the condition of returning Youyan to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty must launch a western expedition and transfer all the main army to the northwest battlefield, otherwise the Jin army would not be able to concentrate its main force to fight the desert north.

In the fifth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty (1123 AD), the first month.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Guihuazhou.

Zong Han rushed to Guihua Prefecture, visited Li Hu, and discussed the plan for the Western Expedition.

"Do you know why I gave up Yanjing?" Li Hu asked with a smile after learning about Zong Han's purpose.

"You got Yanjing and your strength increased greatly. The Song Dynasty was worried that raising a tiger would cause trouble and wanted to kill you. We and Xixia threatened your Datong again, so you weighed it again and again and withdrew from Yanjing.

"Zong Han said, "You have no trust between you and the Song Dynasty, and there is no trust between us. You are full of dangers and fearless, are you?"

"So, I dare not fight the west now." Li Hu admitted that he was walking on thin ice.

"You must go west." Zong Han smiled, "If the Song Dynasty wants to get Yanjing, it must go west, but if the Song Dynasty does not have your cooperation, it will never launch a westward expedition, so you must go west."

Li Hu thought for a long time and asked, "What if I refuse?"

"Then we will give up the expedition to the desert for the time being, and unite with Xixia and the Song Dynasty to destroy you first." Zong Han smiled.
