Taiyuan’s first requirement is to limit the size of the army.”
"Bianjing will rebel and provide relief in the next few years, restore the stability of Hebei, Shandong and other people. At the same time, expand the army in large quantities. This requires. Bianjing to curb us. The best law is to no longer provide us with military funds. But they dare not stop supplying them. So they will pass on this heavy burden to the northwest and ask the northwest to bear it. The Northwest army is huge. They also need military funds. Limited military funds will intensify the conflict between us and the Northwest Army. The way to alleviate the conflict is to extort violent taxes in the northwest."
"The Prince of Yun cannot impose a heavy tax on the northwest. We cannot openly break with the Song Dynasty, let alone break with the Northwest Army. Therefore, we can only limit the size of the army and modify the military system at the same time. Without affecting the stability of the army, we can reduce military investment expenditure as much as possible."
"Taiyuan's second requirement is to implement the Song system."
"We have returned to the Song Dynasty almost the year. According to our alliance with Bian Jing, the Song system should be gradually implemented. But in the past two years, we first fought Youyan and then marched westward. In order to ensure the stability of Daibei, we have not tested this problem."
"Why do you want me to Taiyuan?|Print the Song system? It's very simple. Increase taxes. The income of Hulie Mansion increases. Bianjing can reduce the aid we give. Then we will increase the exploitation of us from various aspects such as return to commercial taxes. Daibei needs to obtain various materials from Shaanxi, Hedong, Hebei, etc. Bianjing can snatch all the increased income by snatching all the increased income."
"If we do not implement the Song system, the Hulie Mansion will bear the losses. If we implement the Song system, the people in the north of Dai will bear the losses. Therefore, we are in a dilemma."
"Third. Taiyuan does not connect with Yunzhong Road to catch one and send one back."
"The reason is very simple. The Northwest is unwilling to bear the responsibility of remuneration. How many people do we flee to Shaanxi and Hedong? We don't know. But Taiyuan made this request. Obviously, it is very pessimistic about the future situation of Daibei. We have 200,000 teams to support. There are thousands of people to support. Daibei's income has. We will always use up a day when we plunder the house. If a war broke out in Daibei, without the support of Bianjing, our money and food will be quickly exhausted. It is conceivable that a large number of refugees will inevitably pour into the Northwest."

When Li Hu said this, Yun couldn't help asking. "Then why should we join the Song Dynasty? Are the people in the North of Daibei or the people of the Song Dynasty?"
For a long time, Huang She has been running around. Chai Yun took over the position of Chief Secretary and handled the daily affairs of the Ministry of State. He knew the current situation of the Dynasty and the lives of the people in Daibei. But now not only Bianjing has restrained the Hulie Mansion, but also Taiyuan has restrained the Lie Mansion. This made him angry. Shaanxi Hedong, Hebei and Daibei border. These three are closely related to Daibei. In the past, Bianjing has restrained the Hulie Mansion. Hulie Mansion can obtain the materials needed through trade and smuggling. Now Taiyuan has restrained the Hulie Mansion. That is equivalent to blocking Daibei's throat and Daibei Tu. It becomes very difficult.
"Hebei and Shandong are the main sources of taxes for the Song Dynasty. Now the two rebellions have broken out. The impact is too great." Yuwen Xu felt it necessary to explain. "In the coming years, Bianjing will have to fight the rebellion with all its strength. Therefore, the money and grain that can be allocated to the northwest should be limited. Daibei and Northwest compete for this limited money and grain at the same time. It is conceivable that the conflict between the two sides will be great. In the next few years, the northwest will have to rely on itself. Daibei will also rely on itself. This is impossible."
Yuwen Xuzhong's words caused controversy.
After several discussions, the Hulie Mansion Center decided to limit the size of the army. It further expanded the number of the Malaysian army on the basis of the existing scale and enhanced the combat effectiveness of the army. As for the issue of military pay that costs the largest amount, there is no good way. Under the current circumstances, if the military pay is reduced, it will be too great to have a blow to the morale of the army. The consequences are unimaginable. After a system is implemented and a habit is formed, if there is no good alternative, then the existing system can only be used. Otherwise, it will inevitably cause chaos.
The plan to implement the Song system was completely rejected, except for Li Gang and Yuwen Xuzhong, no one agreed. Even Ma Kuo was negative, and the grasslands in Daibei were limited, and the number of people exceeded its ability to bear it. The people in Daibei were very difficult. They really could not increase taxes. If the reform was made, it would inevitably lead to refugees. The northwest was unwilling to bear refugees. Then there would be riots in the end. Everyone agreed that they would rather suffer a little than see the riots in the people. It was a disaster.

In February, the Khitan Army was formed.
In the past few months, Hu Lie Mansion transferred all the Khitans and Xi people in the army to Ma Ge. The 14th general of the Hu Lie Army was all the people. The general was Jielu. Li Hu handed over this army as a whole to Ma Ge. In addition, Li Hu also asked Gao Dahui, deputy commander of the Bohai Army, to take a front-selected army composed of the Han Bohai enemy Lie and other foreign peoples, to go to the desert to fight.
Before leaving, Li Hu took Yelu Mingyuexiao's Lidexiao Temo
Shangnu and others rushed to Yunnei in person to see off Yelu Ma Ge.
"You must remember that you fight for the Khitans, not for Yelu Yanxi." Li Hu repeatedly instructed. "If Yelu Yanxi finds you, you must remind yourself. If you continue to fight for him, you can only ruin the Khitans. My army will also withdraw. I will never let my brother die meaninglessly."
Yelu Ma Ge solemnly swore that he had figured it out. In recent years, the Liao Dynasty did not have no chance to rebuild. Instead, the Khitans lost their courage, lost their dignity, and had no confidence. The opportunities were missed again and again. This time he went to the desert to fight not to build the Liao Dynasty, but to fight for the dignity and glory of the Khitans. He used his blood and life to inspire millions of Khitans, picked up weapons, and fought in blood.
"Sooner or later, I will turn against each other." Li Hu stood in front of the map and roughly explained the situation in the north. "If Song and Jin maintain a close alliance, all the Jurchens' main forces will be transferred to the desert. The time for the Jurchens to conquer the desert will be greatly advanced. Then they will roar down. I cannot defend Datong." Li Hu looked up at the horse and whispered. "So, I want to choose a suitable opportunity to go south. If you can delay the Jin army's northern expedition, I will be grateful."
"You want to go south?" Yelu Ma Ge asked in surprise. "You want to turn against Da Song?"
"I want to survive. I will go south." Li Hu said. "There are so small that Daibei cannot support the tiger army at all. I have no other way except to go." Then he sneered. "Why? Do you think the Song Dynasty will keep me and raise tigers as a disaster?"
"But..." Brother Ma hesitated for a moment and asked again. "Do you have a chance to go south?"
"I'm looking for it," said Li Hu. "If something unexpected happens, I will go to Hedong within one or two years."
When Prince Yun and the Northwest Army advanced eastward, the Huli Army went south. Li Hu was sure of this. In order to achieve this goal, he could tolerate anything and was willing to do anything.
"If you can't hold on, remember. Don't give up. Come to me." Datong on the picture taken by Li Hu. "You and I will work together. One day, you can defeat the Jurchens and regain our home."
Brother Ma went north to the desert with the will of death. So he was very grateful to Li Hu and even more grateful to the soldiers who were willing to follow him. In his opinion, if he was defeated, how long could Li Hu last? He had nowhere to go. He could only serve the country with death. But Li Hu gave him a hope at this moment. Li Hu wanted to go south and occupy a larger one. Then Li Hu would have a day to rise. The Khitans would have hope for revival.
"I will come back." Brother Ma held Li Hu's hand tightly and said excitedly. "Even if I die, I will let the Khitans carry my dead body back."

Spring is here, the sun is shining, everything is reviving, everything looks so warm and so prosperous. However, the atmosphere of Datong is very cold and solemn. The contradiction between Hu Lie Mansion and Bian Jing is escalating step by step.
Bianjing asked Li Hu to withdraw his army from Shuoying Weizhou. Li Hu ignored it and asked again to go south to quell the rebellion. He also sued Bianjing. He was in chaos in Hebei. The Jurchens might go south to plunder.
Bianjing proposed to reduce the aid given to Yunzhonglu and support the military funds of the Tiger and Martyrs. Li Hu threatened Bianjing. If the military funds are insufficient and the assistance is insufficient, the army will betray and the people will rebel. By then, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people rushed into Beihedong. The responsibility is not on me, but on Bianjing.
Bianjing proposed to implement the Song system in Yunzhong Road, increase taxes and increase taxes, and asked Hedong, Shaanxi to come to bear part of the military and material assistance of the Tiger Lieutenant Army. Li refused and warned Bianjing again. If you're trying to provoke the war between the Tiger Lieutenant Army in the Northwest Army. I, Li Hu, are willing to accompany me.
Bianjing could not bear it anymore. He solemnly warned Li Hu not to fight against Bianjing. Bianjing can accept you and destroy you.
Li Hu immediately reported that the fundamental reason for the riots of hungry people was because the court was rampant, the eunuchs stole the Tianxian, and the powerful ministers were in control. Bian Jing was in a dark and dark way. As long as the emperor was willing to eliminate the traitors, appoint wise ministers, and amend national policies, the riots would be pacified and the people would be safe.
I am loyal to the Song Dynasty and am willing to lead the king-serious army to Bianjing to clear the king's side and revive the world.
Bian Jing was angry and his tolerance for Li Hu was getting smaller and smaller.
In May, Gao Fu and Liu Guo, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, came to Bianjing. One reason was that the Song Dynasty sent envoys to chant, and the other was that they presented letters to the new emperor.
