Guan’s strategy is a beautiful trap from the perspective of Hu Lie Mansion. It is a good solution to maintain the country’s destiny.
The national policy of the Jin army changed, and the general trend of the world also changed.
An emperor appeared in the Song Dynasty. Father and son were slaughtered each other in order to compete for imperial power. The changes in the world's general trend were obviously not conducive to the Song Dynasty.
If the national policy of the Jin Dynasty changed, the Hu Lie Mansion made serious mistakes in its judgment on the situation. But the Hu Lie Mansion could no longer make up the mistakes. The two consecutive Western expeditions seriously consumed the strength of the Hu Lie Mansion. In other words, even if the Hu Lie Mansion went south, it was just a burial for a grand burial. The reason for all this was because the national policy of the Jin Dynasty changed.
Tong Guan is not the same as ordinary people. Obviously, he saw the consequences of the attack on Bianjing. That is, the Jin Kingdom had already taken the Song Dynasty as its main target. But at this time, two emperors appeared in the Song Dynasty. I controlled Prince Yun again. At this moment, there was no trust between Bianjing and the southeast, between Bianjing and Datong, between Datong and the northwest people. They were all opposites. The strongest forces in the entire Song Dynasty could not form a joint force. It is not difficult to foresee that a loose sand Song Dynasty was not the opponent of the Jin army at all. The second attack of the Jin army could destroy the Song Dynasty.
"How did the Great Liao lose?" Li Hu glanced at Yelu Mage and smiled. "Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Chun's battle for the imperial unification gave the Khitans a fatal blow. At the most critical moment of the Liao-Jin War, Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Chun split. One became an emperor in Xijing and the other became an emperor in Yanjing. As a result, the Great Liao collapsed within a few months. This is a bloody lesson. Let's imagine. If Yelu Chun did not become emperor in Yan, the Great Liao was still unified. Will the Khitans be defeated in a short period of time?"
Obviously not. It was because of the division between Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Chun that quickly destroyed the country. The Daliao was not defeated by the Jurchens, but by the Khitans themselves.
What is incredible is that the Song Dynasty has also come here. Is it the Song Dynasty going to collapse because of this?

"Under the current situation, even if our lord shows goodwill to Bianjing and Taiyuan, will Gutong and Bianjing command the army of kings to go north and seize Hebei and Youyan?"
Li Hu sighed. The east part of the picture in his hand was. "According to Tong Guan's statement, the old emperor in the southeast would not give Bian Jing food, nor would he reinforce Bian Jing. And he also looked at Bian Jing. So even if Bian Jing was willing to counterattack, he would not have the financial resources. He would not have the courage. Once the old emperor in the southeast took the chance to approach the civil war in Bian Jing, it would be inevitable. Will the little emperor in Bian Jing take such a huge risk?"
"Bianjing will not launch a counterattack. I will not let my army enter Hebei. And I don't want to enter Hebei because the strategy of the Jin Kingdom has changed. Wu Qi threw hundreds of thousands of troops into the battlefields of Youyan and Hebei. Do I dare to fight?"
"You can imagine that after a short rest of the Jin army Youyan and He will launch a second attack soon."
Li Hu looked at the people in the tent, Dong Xiaochou and others with a serious look on his face.
The Jin army launched the second attack. The troops were more prepared and more fully prepared, and the morale was stronger. The Song Dynasty split the two emperors and fought for imperial power to kill each other. In this case, can Bianjing still be defended? Even if Bianjing is defended, can Shandong Huainanjing West be defended? The Jin army plundered and returned with a full load. The Song Dynasty was crumbling. What's next? The Jin army would launch the third and fourth attacks. Continuous attacks would completely destroy the Song Dynasty.

"If Bian Jing is lost and the military defense line retreats to the Jianghuai line, then the Jin army can concentrate its efforts against me."
Li Hu's finger picture. A sense of helplessness appeared in his voice. "Bianjing was lost. The grain from the south to the north was completely cut off. We could only go from Shaanxi and Hedong to support money and grain. But if the Jin army conquered Xijing Luoyang, Tutongguan and entered Guanzhong, this grain road would not be preserved. Our situation would become very difficult."
"The current situation forces us to have no way out. Going south to Bianjing is equivalent to provoking a civil war; regaining Hebei and Youyan is equivalent to own strength; defending Datong and Taiyuan. It is only temporarily alleviating the conflict with Bianjing and unable to reverse the crisis. So after thinking about it, Tong Guan's plan is available. Fight Chang'an first and take Guanzhong to ensure that the food from Sichuan, Sichuan and Jinghu can be transported to Hedong and Daibei in Shaanxi. At the same time, a confrontation between Bianjing and the southeast is formed. Avoid civil war and ensure that Bianjing returns money and grain."
"Once the Jin army launches a second attack, whether it is the martyr's army, the king-supporting army in Bianjing, or the southeastern army, it should be able to fight hand in hand at the critical moment of the country's reign."
"No matter what, there is only one emperor in the Song Dynasty. The Supreme Emperor and Prince Yun are both people who covet the imperial power. As long as they are pressed firmly, the Song Dynasty still has hope of defeating the Jin army."
"A step back. Even if the emperor and the little emperor had a falling out, the Central Plains were lost, and Bianjing fell. But we won the time to breathe, the time to redeploy, the time to hoard food weapons, and the support of Sichuan, Shu and Jinghu. We still have the strength to compete with the Jin army head-on, and have the strength to regain the lost territory. Zhongxing Song."
The big tent was very quiet. Dong Xiaochou, Huang She and others were thinking and digesting Li Hu's words.
Li Hu has already said it thoroughly. The situation changes rapidly. The countermeasures must be adjusted accordingly. But the goals remain unchanged. Therefore, the Huli Army must preserve its strength and achieve its goals step by step in the most difficult situation in the future.
"The situation is so bad?" Fan Zhichang couldn't believe it. When he was exiled to the northwest more than ten years ago, Song seemed very powerful. Why was it vulnerable to the attack more than ten years later?
"I believe Tong Guan's analysis and judgment of the situation." Li Hu said seriously. "We are Han people in the north. The Song Dynasty has always been very strong in my heart. This impression is deeply rooted. The result has caused me a lot of mistakes. What is the strength of the Song Dynasty? Guan is the clearest. But we took it for granted. We made serious mistakes when we first formulated strategies."
"We don't understand the Song Dynasty. In the future, we will not only spend a long time entering the Song Dynasty, but also spend a longer time understanding the Song Dynasty."
"We don't understand|When we formulated the strategy, we always believed that the national policy of the Jin Kingdom was to unify the north. Even if we went south, it was just a plunder. We robbed it and ran away. But now it seems that because the Song Dynasty itself has no strength and is vulnerable, it caused a chain reaction. The national policy of the Jin Kingdom must be changed."
"The Song Dynasty did not. The Jin Kingdom changed its strategy. As a result, the situation deteriorated rapidly."

"General General, we are entering Guanzhong. Although we are under the banner of Prince Yun, it may also trigger a civil war. And it is too late." Yun hesitated for a moment and asked. "General General, are you sure we will adopt Tong Guan's strategy and transfer the main force into Guanzhong? Who will go to Chang'an?"
"No. No. Our strategy of going south is just to change the strategy to achieve the goal." Li Hu said. "Our main force still adheres to Datong and Taiyuan. Hulie Mansion must firmly control Daibei. As long as it controls Daibei, no matter how the Jin Dynasty's strategy changes, it is subject to me. It wants to compete for the Central Plains. It depends on whether I agree. If I don't agree, it will not dare to rush around the territory of the Song Dynasty without restraint."
Dong Xiaochou Huang She and others all looked at Li Hu. How can Tong Guan’s strategy be realized if the main force does not enter the level?
"This is Tong Guan's idea. Let Tong Guan implement it." A hint of cunning appeared on the corner of Li's mouth. "He has 20,000 victories in the Jie Army, and the old commander of the Northwest Army. It is most suitable for him to go to Chang'an."
"Tong Guan went to Chang'an?" Fan Zhichang said in surprise. "Aren't you letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"
"Tong Guan cannot return to Beijing unless he wants to die." Li Hu smiled. "Tong Guan has a secret edict from the old emperor and an imperial edict given to him by the old emperor. Before the old emperor left Bianjing, the situation was already not. So he issued a special order to make him serve as the deputy marshal of the Northwest Marshal's Office. He asked him to lead the army to serve the king at any time according to the situation. Tong Guan has this edict. He has another 20,000 victorious army in his hand. When he arrives in Chang'an, he will do whatever he wants."
Dong Xiaochou and others felt something was wrong, but they didn't know Tong Guan's thoughts. They were all very worried.
"Don't worry about Tong Guan's affairs," Li Hu said. "There is one thing that can be determined. Tong Guan cannot respect the little emperor of Bian Jing. His power was given by the old emperor. He first had to help the old emperor solve the problem. Then he tried to get the king to the throne. In this way, he and his family could ensure wealth and prosperity. So if nothing unexpected happens, Guan will fulfill his promise and transport food from Sichuan and Shu to Daibei."
"What's next? What to do next?" Fan Zhichang asked worriedly.
"The Prince of Yun is in Taiyuan. Tong's son Tong Shimin is also in Taiyuan. In this way, the entire northwest is under our control." Li Hu said. "In this way, a confrontation will be formed in the southeast of Bianjing in the northwest. There will be no civil war for the time being. Moreover, the three parties can solve each other's problems through negotiations."
"If the Jin army launches a second attack, will the three parties fight together?" Fan Zhichang asked.
Li Hu hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything. He also asked Guan. Tong Guan did not answer. He probably could not make accurate inferences.
"Tong Guan means to try to put pressure on Dong and Bian Jing, forcing the old emperor to send money and grain to Bian, thus making the relationship with Bian Jing and the Southeast. Let the Bian Jing's king-supporting army launch a counterattack and take back Hebei first."
"Will the little emperor agree?" Huang She curled her lips disdainfully. "The little emperor has finished the army in his hand. He is finished. Are you an idiot for him?"
"He got out of the capital if he didn't fight." Li Hu sneered. "In order to get the Jin people to withdraw their troops, he actually ceded three towns. This is a treason. If he did not organize a counterattack, the king-supporting army would make him rebellion."
Dong Xiaochou and others smiled knowingly and returned to the old plan. Once the King's Army was defeated in the battlefield in Hebei, Li Hu and Tong Guan would enter Bian Jing. Prince Yun promoted the throne. As for the old emperor, I am afraid that he could only retire in the southeast.
