On the 12th, Fang Jin and Hailasu protected the emperor and retreated to Anyang, Xiangzhou... At dusk that day, Li Hu and Zong Ze arrived with their army.

Yue Fei and Hailasu joined forces to fight against Wanyan's mother and Zongbi who were approaching Anyang. As soon as the two sides contacted each other, the Jin army immediately retreated. The purpose of the Jin army had achieved its goal, and the most urgent task was to capture Handan and Daming Prefecture. Wanyan's mother and Zongbi's mission was to constantly invade and withdraw the Song army, forcing them to withdraw from Hebei at a faster speed.

That night, Li Hu called Hu Jiayong, and Hailasu temporarily guarded Xiangzhou to block the Jin army, and he and the emperor continued to retreat.

On the 14th, they retreated to Liyang.

On the same day, Handan City fell.

Wang Yan led 8,000 Hebei rebels to stand for four days, successfully delayed the Jin army and ensured that the emperor and the main force retreated to the Yellow River. When the city was broken, the eight thousand rebels had lost 6,000. In the end, Wang Yan only took 2,000 soldiers to withdraw from Handan, went up to the Taihang Mountains, and continued to resist the Jin Dynasty.

On the same day

Yang Keshi of Daming Prefecture led his army to evacuate, and Guo Yaoshi took over the number one important city in Hebei without any bloodshed.

On the night of the 14th, Zong Wang ordered the troops to rest and settle down, and went south overnight to kill the Yellow River.

On the 16th, the Jin army arrived in Xiangzhou and attacked Anyang City. Hu Jiayong and Hailasu retreated without fighting.

On the same day, Zong Wang received the news that Guo Yaoshi successfully arrived at Daming Mansion and was very happy and immediately ordered him to lead his army south and kill Puyang.

On the 18th, Zong Wang led his army to approach Liyang.

On the 18th, Baima City, Gyeonggi.

Li Hu sat in the tent, looking at the map on the table, thinking about the strategy to guard it.

Dong Xiaochou, Yue Fei, Hu Jiayong, Lin Chong, Hailasu, Han Shizhong, Luo Lan, Fu Xiu, Guo, Fang Jin and others entered one after another

In the big tent, everyone's expressions were very heavy. They found a place to sit down, and no one had the heart to speak.

Li Zongzhen, Liu?, and Qin Hui also walked in with the emperor.

Li Hu and the generals stood up to salute. The emperor waved his hands repeatedly and signaled everyone. They all sat down and spoke.

"Aiqing Chai hasn't arrived yet?" The emperor asked hurriedly without seeing Chai Yun in the tent.

"It's coming soon," said Li Hu. "It's only been a month since we made the decision to move the capital. No matter how hard Li Xianggong, Liu Zhixiang and Chai Zhongshu tried, they wouldn't be able to empty Bianjing."

The emperor was very frustrated. He thought that this imperial expedition could be successful and could win prestige for himself, but he was deceived by Li Hu. Li Hu had no intention of guarding Hebei. He went to Hebei just to make a gesture, and then transferred all the main forces of the Tiger Lie Army back to Hedong, and within four days he retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River. The emperor failed in personal expedition and evacuated in a panic, throwing all the land of Hebei and the people of Hebei to the Jin thieves. This undoubtedly hit the emperor hard in the face, leaving the emperor with no face.

"How many months can we stand on the front line of the Yellow River?" Although the emperor was frustrated, he kept Li Zongzhen's words in his heart and endured. In this extraordinary period, we must rely on Li Hu's strength to establish a three-point pattern of tying the world. Therefore, we must endure. As long as the country's fortune is preserved, we will have a chance to turn over in the future, otherwise we will not even have a chance to turn over.

Li Hu turned his gaze to Yuanye. Yuanye stood up, walked to the map on the side of the hanging tent, and explained the defense of the Yellow River to the emperor.

The Yellow River has four important ferries on the front line of the capital and Luoyang, namely Puyang, Baima, Heyin and Heyang. Currently, Yang Keshi's Northwest Army guards Puyang, Tiger Lieutenant Army guards Baima, and Chu Xiaoyao from the Luoyang Grand Governor's Office guards Heyin and Heyang.

The Jin army descended from Hebei, and its main targets were Puyang and Baima. As long as these two places were guarded, the safety of Bianjing and Jingji Road could be ensured.

"Zhe Kecun has led his army to Yingtian Prefecture, Nanjing. He will establish the Nanjing Grand Governor's Office in the near future to block the rebellion in the southeast."

"Zong Liushu has led his army to Bianjing to strengthen the defense of the capital."

"There are the Eighth Army of Lin Chong, the Ninth Army of Hu Lie in Hailasu, the Tenth Army of Yue Fei, the Resentful Army of Hu Jiayong, the Yanshan Army of Luolan, the Hebei Army of Han Shizhong, Yang Keshi, Liu Guangshi, and Yang Zhi's Northwest Army of about 100,000 troops," Yuanye said confidently, "Your Majesty, with these 100,000 troops, there will be absolutely no problem to stick to this winter."

The emperor sneered, but no dissatisfaction could be seen from his face. He did not believe in Li Hu at all now. He knew that Li Hu had set his goal to divide the world into three parts, so Li Hu tried his best to guard Hedong, Shaanxi, Sichuan and Jinghu, as for Hebei, Shandong, Central Plains, and even the capital Bianjing, they were all in the ranks of giving up. He believed that as long as the Jin army launched a crossing attack, Li Hu would most likely retreat and retreat until Luoyang. These orders were all given by Li Hu, but the responsibility was borne by the emperor.

Today, how many people know that the Song Dynasty is in division? How many people know that the emperor is being held hostage? How many people know that today's severe situation is directly related to Li Hu's inspiration? Look at the generals sitting in this tent, they are Li Hu's confidants, but how many people know what Li Hu is doing? What is his ultimate goal?

The emperor must not be angry. The first time the Jin army

During the invasion, the old emperor and the young emperor Zhao Heng took all the responsibilities. When the Jin army invaded for the second time, the emperor would bear the responsibility of losing Hebei, abandoning the Central Plains, and even abandoning the Bianjing. In addition, he might have to bear the responsibility of the division of the Song Dynasty, because it was he who launched a mutiny to seize Zhao Heng's throne, and then there was a second mutiny in the old emperor fled to the southeast with the court as a whole. When all these responsibilities were piled on the emperor, he, the emperor, had no prestige. How could an emperor without prestige lead his subjects to revive the country?

On the contrary, Li Hu used the step-by-step defeat of the emperor and the Song army to win the expectations of the Song people for him. When Bian Jing was lost and the world was divided, when Middle Earth fell into boundless darkness, and when Middle Earth people were crying in pain in the war, he emerged from nowhere, winning the support of Middle Earth people with victory after victory, and then dominating Middle Earth.

It is obvious that Li Hu was planning to use this method to gradually destroy the Song Dynasty and gradually establish his prestige. He would depose the emperor who brought disaster to Middle-earth at a suitable time, and then let a Zhao royal family member who he thought was easier to control to inherit the imperial rule and complete the transition of power. Once this transition is over, he will become the king of Middle-earth.

The emperor had a premonition that he had no more time.

But he still can't find a chance to fight back, so he can only endure it and patiently look for an opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

Just as Li Hu and the generals were discussing defense strategies, Chai Yun, the Minister of the Secretariat, arrived.

In the past month, Li Gang, Chai Yun, Wang Yu, Liu Yanqing, and the five centers of Zhe Keqiu have plundered in Bianjing on the one hand, and on the other hand, they have fully implemented the strategy of moving the capital, recruiting hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of carriages to transport various materials day and night. The large-scale plunder has caused Bianjing to fall into bloody storms, and the capital has caused panic. In addition, rumors that the Jin army was about to cross the Yellow River rose everywhere, and a large number of people in Bianjing began to flee, and the first target was of course the southeast. The farther away from the Yellow River, the safer it is.

"Bianjing is Kyoto after all, and it is impossible to move it away for a year or two. The most conservative one is probably until the end of this year." Chai Yun looked at Li Hu, with many questions in his eyes. He had not had time to communicate with Li Hu. Although he knew why Li Hu gave up Hebei, the consequences of giving up Hebei were far more serious than expected.

"The current situation is very serious." Chai Yun continued, "We have received news recently,

The Southeast Court has been established in Jiangning, and the old emperor's edict has been sent to Huainan and Jinghu areas. Tong Guan is gathering the Southeast army. If nothing unexpected happens, the rebels will head north in the near future, and the army from the Jiangnan direction may go westward to Jinghu, Hanyang and Changsha. "

"In addition, Chang'an Hou Guai and Ma Kuo sent news that the Northwest Town Governors reported that the Dangxiang people were ready to move north of Hengshan. This winter, the Dangxiang people would definitely launch an attack. They asked the court to send reinforcements immediately, otherwise the Hengshan defense line would be lost and Guanzhong might be threatened."

The emperor's face became increasingly ugly. Li Hu, Dong Xiaochou and others were also worried.

"How is it like Sichuan and Shu? Can Zhang Guanyu and Fan Zhichang be reported to you?" Li Hu asked. Zhang Guanyu and Fan Zhichang have been south of Sichuan for three or four months, and have received several messages intermittently, but there has been no accurate letter. I don't know if they have controlled the fourth route of Sichuan and Shu.

"They have arrived in Chengdu." Chai Yun's words made Li Hu breathe a sigh of relief, "There are only more than 20,000 garrison troops in the fourth route of Sichuan and Shu. If the vacancies are deducted, there are only more than 10,000 people at most. More than 10,000 people are distributed in the fourth route and cannot compete with the Huli Army, so Dao Shuai arrived in Chengdu smoothly, but if he wants to control Sichuan and Shu, he would like to control Sichuan and Shu.

The Fourth Routes will have to wait until His Majesty’s imperial edict is delivered to Chengdu. Once the DaoShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShiShi

"Where is Xiangyang? Did Princess Roufu and Mao Shuai control the Jinghu route?"

Xiangyang is close to Luoyang and Bianjing, and Princess Roufu and Mao's army have always maintained contact with Li Hu. This trip south was basically smooth because of Princess Roufu's relationship. Especially after the emperor's imperial edict was delivered to Xiangyang, Mao's army quickly established the Xiangyang Grand Governor's Office and sent troops south to Changsha, basically controlling the two routes of Jinghu.

"Mao Shuai is recruiting troops to expand his army." Chai Yun said, "In the near future, he will personally rush to Hanyang and lead his army to attack Jiangnan. Princess Roufu will be in charge of the overall situation in Xiangyang and will not be able to return to Luoyang in the short term."

"Where is Yan Qing? How is his business done?" Li Hu asked, "I need money and food, and I need it urgently."

"Because of the establishment of the Xiangyang Grand Governor's Office, Yan Qing can get direct help and quickly transport the batch of money, grain and other materials to Luoyang in the shortest time."

Seeing Li Hu's face slowed down, Chai Yun asked in front of everyone, "General Commander, can we defend the Yellow River defense line until the end of this year?"

Li Hu didn't say anything.

"We'd better be able to defend until the end of this year." Chai Yun said solemnly, "Only by defending until the end of this year, we can raise taxes in the areas we control, so that the war will continue next year, otherwise we can only defend Guanluo to the end."

"I also want to win a battle." Li Hu smiled, "but Zong Wang doesn't give me a chance, chase me and fight hard. I don't even have time to breathe now."

At this moment, Yuanye came in from outside the tent and handed Li Hu a letter, "Puyang Yang Dutong's urgent letter."
