Grand Marshal, what are the court’s considerations about the situation in the Northwest War?" Wang Yuan was silent for a long time and said, “I am the Great Governor of the North, and I should fully understand the situation in the entire northern war, including the battlefield in the North.”

Li Hu nodded in appreciation, then turned around and waved to Yuanye, signaling him to give a detailed explanation.

At this time, Zhe Kecun, Murong Xiahan, Han Shizhong, Wu, Zhang Jun and others stood up one after another and prepared to withdraw from the coach's tent. Explaining the entire northern war situation will inevitably involve many secrets. Except for Wang Yuan, others are not suitable to stay in the coach's tent.

"Sit down..." Li Hu smiled, "You will soon become the commanders of the army in the northwest. You must also understand the situation in the war in the north. At the same time, you will also help me think about countermeasures and brainstorm."

The generals looked at each other and couldn't believe it. No one expected that Li Hu would accept the Northwest people. Not only did he value it, but he also trusted it so much. This kind of mind and belly is rare. There are many factions in the Northwest Army, and they are already used to it. In their eyes, Li Hu and Hu Lie must exclude and attack them, but now it seems that things are not as bad as they imagined. Li Hu seems to be interested in winning over the Northwest people and overcome difficulties together.

Zhe Kecun took the lead and Han Shizhong and others sat down, but everyone was in a complicated mood and their views on Li Hu changed.

The wilderness introduced the defense situation on the front line of Daibei battlefield, Taiyuan Town, Hengshan, and Tiandu Mountain, including military deployment, money, grain and weapons, etc., and then began to expose the recent situation of the Western Xia that Hu Lie Mansion knew about, the alliance between Hu Lie Mansion and Xixia, and the Xia and Jin alliance that was teleported from Xixia to Hu Lie Mansion, the deployment of Xia and Jin in the joint attack on the Song Dynasty... and so on, one by one.

"There is one thing that can be determined that the Dangxiang people must take revenge in order to restore national strength as soon as possible, they must go south to plunder. As for when this battle will break out, the court probably is..." Yuanye stopped for a moment, looked at the generals, and then said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Dangxiang people will go south to invade in November or December this year."

The generals in the tent looked calm and were not surprised. Everyone has been fighting in the northwest for many years and knows the Dangxiang people well. Everyone knows that the Dangxiang people will definitely invade this winter.

It is very simple. The Song Dynasty and the Jin army went to full war, and the Song Dynasty was defeated repeatedly. For this reason, all the main forces of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army and the Northwest Army were transferred to Hebei. When the Dangxiang people did not invade, when would they invade? Even if the Dangxiang people only had tens of thousands of troops left, they would invade with all their strength. Now the invasion is like a broken embroidery. They can regain their lost territory, plunder, and rob them of all the people captured by the Song Dynasty last year. The Dangxiang people recovered the lost territory, seized property, and robbed the population. The number of troops can be increased immediately, and their finances can be improved. Their national strength will be restored quickly with the return of the population.

Before the Jin army headed south to invade, the Jin army formed an alliance with the Xia Kingdom. We hoped that the Xia Kingdom would send troops to cooperate with the attack in the Jin army and were blocked. We would inevitably invite Xia Kingdom to send troops to Xia Kingdom again to see the right time. We would not hesitate anymore. We would inevitably send troops.

"We are very worried about the situation in the northwest." Yuan Yeji said. "The Jin army has been attacking Datong with heavy troops. The Dangxiang people are also eyeing each other. For this reason, the 100,000 tiger steed troops were restrained by them in Daibei and could not move."

"If the Dangxiang people launch an attack this winter, the Northwest Town Garage Army failed to block the Hengshan line and let the Dangxiang people break through Hengshan. Then it is conceivable that the Dangxiang people are very likely to enter Guanzhong and threaten Chang'an." Yuanye was full of worries and a low tone. "The General General established the Grand Governor's Office in Chang'an. The main purpose is to do so. Once the Dangxiang people make a breakthrough from Jingyuan Road, kill Chang'an directly. The Grand Governor's Office can organize military and civilians to defend Xiaoguan and Liupanshan line to ensure the safety of Chang'an."

Wang Yuan sighed.

"The Dangxiang people suffered the great Song Dynasty. Our great Song Dynasty suffered today. Weiming is the culprit."

This is an angry sentence. Wang Yuan felt heartbroken that the Song Dynasty suffered, and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he had to curse the Dangxiang people.

"In the past few years, Tong Guan led his army to attack Dangxiang, and each other won the winners, but it seriously damaged the strength of the Dangxiang people. In the past two years, we have made two more expeditions in the west. Last year, the Grand Marshal wiped out all 100,000 live-capturing troops and gave Dangxiang people a heavy blow. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to resist the invasion of Dangxiang people this time." Wang Yuan was a little depressed and said helplessly, "As long as the Dangxiang people are not dead, they will attack, but the scale of this attack is limited. After all, they just suffered a great defeat last year and their troops are seriously insufficient. It is estimated that the possibility of killing Chang'an is not very high. The main purpose is to plunder the fourth Shaanxi route and plunder the population. With the current forces of the fourth Shaanxi route, it is impossible to block the Dangxiang people north of Hengshan."

He looked up at Li Hu and smiled bitterly: "If you ask me to return to Shaanxi with 50,000 Northwest Army now, I can ensure the safety of Guanzhong."

"Only the safety of Guanzhong can be ensured?" Yuan Yixin was unwilling to accept it and asked immediately, "Can't you block the Dangxiang people from the north?"

"If you give me three months of money, food and weapons, I can defend the line of Hengshan." Wang Yuan shook his head and sighed bitterly.

Yuanye was stunned. In the northwest, the transportation of food and grass weapons lasted thousands of miles, which was extremely shocking. In comparison, the cost of fighting three months in the northwest was enough to support the Tiger Lie Army in Hebei for half a year. If the court sent the few money, grain and weapons to the northwest battlefield, then the wars in North, Hebei and Central Plains would not be fought, and the Tiger Lie Army would simply be

Let’s just stick to Chang’an.

=

It is impossible to withdraw 50,000 Northwest Army from the Hebei battlefield now; it is also impossible to provide money, food and weapons to the Northwest battlefield for three months, so we can only stick to Guanzhong.

"Master, what is your countermeasure?" Zhe Kecun saw that Li Hu had not spoken, so he asked.

Li Hu smiled and said, "The reason why I was reluctant to join the Hebei battlefield is also one of the reasons. I must make sure that the Huli Army can fight to Shaanxi in time to prevent the Dangxiang people from invading, but now it seems that this is impossible."

"I have been thinking about the Northwest War recently. I have two solutions, but I don't know which one is better."

"First, as Wang Shuaiyan, he immediately dispatched 50,000 Northwest Army from the Hebei battlefield to return to the Fourth Road of Shaanxi. This method is subject to the supply of food and grass weapons. Although it can ensure the safety of Guanzhong, it cannot prevent the Dangxiang people from invading, and it cannot prevent them from burning, killing, looting and robbing people at the border. Once the Dangxiang people are replenished, their national strength will recover faster and faster, which is very unfavorable to us."

"Second, we abandoned Datong, and the former Huli Lie Army, which was originally a large town, was divided into two parts, and some were defending Taiyuan to the death, and some supported the fourth route of Shaanxi. In this way, we did not need to draw troops from the Hebei battlefield, and we could quickly fight the Jin army to win enough time. However, as soon as Datong was lost, the Jin army leaked, and the Jurchens connected the two battlefields of Hedong and Hebei together, the consequences were imagined."

The tent was extremely quiet, and the generals looked solemn and lowered their heads to ponder. No one expected that Li Hu would be forced to the point of abandoning Datong.

"Are the Grand Marshal worried about the decisive battle??" Han Shizhong spoke out loudly and asked something he shouldn't have asked.

Li was obviously worried about the defeat of the decisive battle. If the defeat of the decisive battle, the army could retreat to the Yellow River defense line, and the Jin army would not force the Yellow River to cross the Yellow River and lose troops. They would inevitably take advantage of the emptiness of Taiyuan to quickly cross the Taihang Mountains and go north to the east, attack Datong and go south, and kill Guan Luo directly.

Guan Luo, Li Hu's rear, Guan Luo, was threatened. Li Hu could still defend the Yellow River and defend the Central Plains? He would inevitably withdraw Guan Luo, but at this time, he had completely fallen into a passive military situation. The battle situation was extremely difficult. If he was not careful, he would lose all the battle. Therefore, in order to be foolproof and to ensure Shaanxi, Li Hu decided to abandon Datong and withdraw the 100,000 troops and use it on two battlefields.

After Li Hu told these two methods, his family had a good idea. Li Hu obviously tended to give up the second method, to abandon Datong, but if the decisive battle in Hebei fails, the consequences of abandoning Datong will be too serious, and he will be completely passive in military affairs, so Li Hu hesitated and dared not make a decision.

Li Hu was worried about defeat in the decisive battle and lacked confidence. As a subordinate, he could not make it clear. If he made it clear, Li Hu would not be able to hold back his face. But Han Shizhong was upright and opened his mouth wide, hitting Li Hu's key point.

Li Hu didn't care. He did not have the confidence to defeat the Jin army, but lack of confidence does not mean that he dare not fight. He must fight, but he has not found a solution so far.

"Han rule, do you have a way to defeat the Jin army?" Li Hu asked casually.

Han Shizhong was about to arrive and became the vanguard commander of the Hebei Army. The commander of the Hebei Army was Zong Ze, and this Hebei Army was reorganized from the Hebei Rebel Army. This time, the court officially recognized the Hebei Rebel Army and included it in the local army organization.

Han Shizhong hesitated for a moment, as if he was a little nervous, but then he mustered up the courage to say, "Master, do you know how Wang Shuai broke through the siege?"

Li Hu was a little surprised, looked at Wang Yuan, then Han Shizhong, and nodded. Yue Fei said this in detail in the newspaper. Wang Yuan also said it again after seeing Li Hu. Li Hu knew everything he should know.

"Then do you know the Jin army collapsed at the last moment?"

Collapse? Li Hu was even more surprised. Whether it was Yue Fei or Wang Yuan, it was said that the Jin army evacuated voluntarily. It was dark and the Jin army retreated quickly, so they did not dare to chase him. They could only judge that it was evacuation.

"Crash? Is this true?" Li Hu asked in surprise, "How do you know it's a collapse?"

"Before we left Xindu City, we sent scouts to the north bank of Hulu River to investigate the enemy situation." Han Shizhong explained, "Two of my subordinates caught a Jin thief officer. The Jin thief officer said that the Jin army collapsed at that time, hundreds of thousands of troops rushed and were in chaos. Later, they caught several Jin soldiers by the river, and the statements were the same."

Li Hu's eyes swept across the faces of Wang Yuan, Wu, Zhang Jun and others one by one, "What do you think?"

Wang Yuan shook his head, "This is impossible."

"Do you believe it?" Li Hu asked Han Shizhong again.

Han Shizhong smiled awkwardly, "I secretly asked Yue Dutong. He was a little embarrassed and was not sure."

Li Hu understood what Han Shizhong meant. He patted the table gently and said excitedly, "We will win this battle." Then he said to Wang Yuan, "You will go to Xiangzhou to rest immediately. In a few days, I will draw 30,000 Northwest Army to you, plus your 20,000 troops, which is exactly 50,000 troops. You will take these 50,000 troops to Taiyuan first, and then rush from Taiyuan to Shaanxi."
