Chapter 43 The best choice

An error occurred while processing s private files

It was bright, the Hu Lie Army completely controlled Yangqu City, and the overall situation was decided...

The Shengjie army in the city was surrounded and refused to surrender. Li Hu had no intention of siege and killing. Shengjie army was Tong Guan's personal guard. Tong Guan is now arrested, and Shengjie army is not worth worrying about.

The king was shocked and angry, and shouted to see Li Hu. Li Hu ignored him at all and imprisoned him in the Grand Marshal's Mansion. Tong Guan was relatively calm. Now that things have come to this, he can only wait for the change.

Yuwen Xuzhong was a Hedong and Hebei proclamation envoy. His role was very important and he was invited to the Han King's office as soon as possible.

"What do you want to do?" Yuwen Xuzhong and Li Hu had a vow. With his understanding of Li Hu, Li Hu would not betray the Song Dynasty, and there was no reason to betray the Song Dynasty. This was also the reason why he and Li Gang trusted Li Hu. This time, the Wang and Hulie Mansion reached an alliance, and he played an important role in it. However, he never expected that Li Hu would betray the alliance at this critical moment and arrest Prince Yun and Tong Guan.

"You really don't know what I want to do?" Li Hu asked him to sit down and said with a smile, "Do you want a civil war to break out in the Song Dynasty?"

"A civil war broke out in the Song Dynasty?" Yuwen Xuzhong raised his head and beat him up, "Is it because of this betrayal king?" He opened his eyes wide and looked up and down at Li Hu, jokingly, "Are you really that naive?"

Li Hu laughed and poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Yuwen Xuzhong. "Sometimes, it will make you feel happy when you maintain a childlike heart."

"You are happy, but Prince Yun and Tong Guan are in pain.

"Yuwen Xuzhong sneered, "Is it too much for you to base your happiness on the pain of others?"

Li Hu shook his hand and was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. "You go to Bianjing immediately and tell the little emperor. If he wants to keep his throne, then promise me the conditions. This will be good for both sides and even more good for the Song Dynasty."

"What conditions?" Yuwen Xuzhong asked.

Li Hu gave a brief comment and handed the memorial presented to Yuwen Xuzhong and asked him to read it himself.

"Do you think a civil war will break out in the Song Dynasty?" Yuwen Xuzhong read Li Hu's memorial and had to suspect that Li Hu had ulterior motives.

"As long as I support Prince Yun to go south, a civil war will inevitably break out."

"But as long as Bianjing negotiates peace with the Jin people, the Jin people will be willing to join forces with the Song Dynasty to attack and kill Dai Bei." Yuwen Xuzhong smiled. "The Song Dynasty will not have a civil war. On the contrary, you are in trouble with Dai Bei." Yuwen Xuzhong picked up the memorial in his hand and shook it at Li Hu a few times. "Tell me. What is your real purpose?"

"My ultimate goal has not changed. I still have to support Prince Yun as the emperor, and then reform and reform, enrich the country and strengthen the people." Li Hu smiled, "Since I have made a promise, I will never regret it."

Yuwen Xuzhong stared at Li Hu's eyes for a long time. Those eyes looked very upright and kind, but it was these eyes that made Yuwen Xuzhong feel cold. He suddenly had a terrible idea. Does Li Hu threaten the emperor to control the authority of the Song Dynasty? Otherwise, what would he use to reform and reform? The ministers of Bian Jing were all cultivated by the New Party. Even if Cai Jing is gone, the new policy will not change fundamentally in general. At most, some adjustments are made in specific policies. These adjustments are not enough to correct the situation, and it is difficult to see results in the short term. Therefore, in terms of the current situation of the Song Dynasty, he and Li Gang actually have a common view, that is, fundamental changes must be made in national policies, which are more thorough than the reforms in Wengong at the time, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve results. Obviously, to achieve this goal, the young emperor and the civil officials of Bian Jing cannot do it, which will affect their interests too much, and failure is obvious.

If Li Hu asked the king to be a puppet emperor and he actually controlled the authority of the Song Dynasty, then this top-down radical change could be implemented. Although it may not be successful, at least it is the most promising way of change.

Yuwen Xuzhong felt suffocated. This was a very dangerous method. In history, powerful ministers and vassal states and vassal states may recur, and the reign of the Song Dynasty was more likely to be subverted. The more he thought about it, the more he became, the more afraid he did not dare to look at Li Hu.

"In my opinion, Bianjing has no choice but to agree to my local conditions." Li Hu saw Yuwen Xuzhong's eyes panic and intentionally dodged himself, and couldn't help but sneer, "Of course, Bianjing will not watch me grow up and let me threaten the safety of the Song Dynasty. When the little emperor solves the problem of the old emperor, recovers the Youyan from Hebei, and stabilizes the country, he will have to deal with me. Judging from the current situation of the Song Dynasty, the problem of serious shortage of troops cannot be changed in the short term, so he still has to use the old method to unite the Jin people to fight against the North. But I don't care. I just need to solve the crisis in front of me. I don't want to see the civil strife breaking out in the Song Dynasty and the Jurchens are in vain."

Yuwen Xuzhong had no idea what Li Hu said was true or false, but he knew that the things behind this were very complicated and he could not figure it out for a while.

"I'll return to Bianjing immediately." Yuwen Xuzhong said, "If you go day and night, I will be able to reach the capital in more than ten days." Then he looked up at Li Hu and asked, "Will your deposit army retreat immediately?"

"My front-selling army has set out and is speeding around the well path. You can enter Hebei in a few days and kill Zhending."



?” Yuwen Xuzhong asked.

"If Bian Jing had the ability to recover Hebei alone, of course I would not be self-indulgent and insisted on letting the Huli Army fight in Hebei." Li Hu smiled, "My target is Youyan, and I will concentrate the main force to attack Youyan."

Yuwen Xuzhong discussed some details with Li Hu, and immediately went south to Bianjing.

After seeing off Yuwen Xuzhong, Li Hu had just returned to the handsome tent, and Dong Xiaohou came.

"All things in the city have been resolved?"

"The Shengjie Army will not last long, and it is estimated that it will surrender tonight." Dong Xiaochou said, "I have ordered the Hulie's fifth, sixth, seventh army, Changsheng army and Jinglei army to go south immediately and quickly occupy Longde Prefecture, Jinzhou and Jiangzhou, and the vanguard army is approaching the Yellow River."

"The speed must be fast, it must be fast." Li Hu said, "Yue Fei will soon enter Hebei. When the Jin army heard that the Tiger Lieutenant Army was here, they would definitely retreat quickly, so that Bianjing could free up his hands to deal with us. We don't have much time."

"When the Jin army withdrew, Bianjing's attitude will be different soon." Huang She said, "The shameless things in Bianjing are very arrogant. If you don't hurt them, they don't know at all. At that time, don't say you give us Taiyuan Prefecture, you may turn around and attack Hedong and provoke a civil war."

"Yes, so we must occupy the entire Hedong Road as quickly as possible, threaten Bianjing, and then bargain with Hedong Road." Li Hu smiled, "By the way, don't forget, under the banner of the king, we must enter various prefectures and counties on Hedong Road under the name of the Great Marshal's Mansion in the Northwest."

Dong Xiaohou smiled and nodded repeatedly, "It seems that it is not easy for us to avoid civil war."

"Of course, Bian Jing is Bian Jing, and Hu Lie Mansion is Hu Lie Mansion, which is simply an opposition." Chai Yun walked in with a stack of textbooks. "General General, Mao Shuai said that he had convinced Zhang Xiaochun and was going to persuade Prince Yun with Zhang Xiaochun." Then he continued to say to Dong Xiaochou, "If you want to control Bian Jing, you must first control the emperor. Now we have controlled the future emperor of Bian Jing, and the next thing is how to solve the emperor of Bian Jing."

"If the emperor of Bianjing did not have all the troops to serve the king, he would be useless. Among the troops to serve the king, the Northwest Army was the most powerful. In addition, the reputation of Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu was also an army that should not be underestimated." Huang She smiled, "We surrendered to Bianjing to avoid civil war, and at the same time brought this army to the battlefield in Hebei. Who is more powerful when fighting between the Jin army and the Song army?"

"When two tigers fight, one will be injured, but the situation is obviously unfavorable to the Song army. If it is injured, it means that the Song army is injured." Chai Yun said, "The key to whether the victory in the Hebei battlefield is not dependent on Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu, nor on the number of troops in the King's Army, but Bian Jing. In order to ensure his throne, the little emperor of Bian Jing would not trust Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu. On the contrary, he would rely on the ministers of Bian Jing ministers who helped him seize the throne. The Northwest Army used to support Prince Yun, and the old emperor tried his best to win Bian Jing. The little emperor wanted to win this battle, unless he had the determination to burn his boats, his suspicion and worries would ruin the King's Army. Even if Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu had the ability to go all out, they would not be able to turn the tide."

"It's like the Northern Expedition of the Song army." Dong Xiaochou smiled and said, "This is a foreseeable ending."

"If this army of kings is defeated in Hebei, Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu will definitely be dismissed. In this way, Bianjing has to ask for help from the Jin army in the face of the aggressive offensive." Huang She looked proud, with a little gloating in his laughter, "At that time, how many troops will there be in the Song Dynasty? In addition to our Tiger and Steve Army, are there any troops that the Song Dynasty can use to fight?"

“We can enter Bianjing very easily.

"Chai Yun smiled, "It can be very easy to depose the little emperor and let the king ascend the throne."

"Many times, many things are not as simple as they seem." Although Li Hu smiled, he could see that he was worried and did not agree with the future described by Huang She and Chai Yun. "I think the most elusive thing about the future is the Jurchens. The Jurchens tasted the sweetness this time, will they launch a second attack? Will they change their strategies and temporarily give up conquering the desert and concentrate all their forces to attack the Song Dynasty? You must know that if the Jin Kingdom occupied the territory north of Hebei, it won't take long before the Jin army will have enough strength to sweep the desert."

"So, it is difficult for us to survive, let alone develop," Dong Xiaohou sighed. "We must go south, and we must go south as soon as possible. Otherwise, where can we get the money to support such a huge army and support so many people." He looked at Li Hu and shook his head, "Although I also want to take this opportunity to severely damage the Jin army, the opportunity is really bad and I have to give up."
