"Then what?"

Li Congshan asked one and then.

Huo Chuo thought for a while and said, "Of course, he was going south and took the opportunity to take down the entire Hedong."

"Then what?"

Li Congshan asked the second one and then.

Huo Chuo was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, looked at Li Congshan, wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he still didn't say it.

Li Congshan patted Huo Chuo on the shoulder: "Did you figure it out?"

Huo Chuo nodded silently: "I understand."

Li Congshan didn't say anything more and turned his eyes forward. There was a game of escape and pursuit.

Wang Chufang pulled Huo Chuo and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't I understand a single word of what you said?"

Huo Chuo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The third general is right. We have got everything we want, enough."

Some things, if you think they are one thing, but if you say them, it is another.

Li Congshan was just two of them, but in fact he was questioning Huo Chuo's heart. The essence was that this war would be two possibilities that would arise if it continued. The first one was to destroy all the 100,000 troops that the court entered Hebei, and successfully unify the entire Hebei land, and even further southward, even the land of Hedong was defeated.

Second, attacking Hedong is equivalent to openly rebelling against the imperial court. Do hundreds of thousands of troops have to fight all the way to Fengjing, change the dynasty and replace it?

Facing Li Congshan's two subsequent and possible results, Huo Chuo had these bold ideas in his heart?

Maybe there is, but it still says the same thing. It’s one thing to say it, but it’s another thing to say it. Not only Huo Chuo, I’m afraid that many people have had such thoughts in their minds, but who dares to say it? They don’t dare to say it, let alone do it.

Now that Li Conggu has unified the entire Hebei area, the overall situation has been settled, and there is no possibility of reversal. His biggest dream and goal have been achieved. Under such circumstances, it doesn’t matter whether the tens of thousands of people remained in the court will be killed or not.

Li Congshan's true thoughts did not express his clear words to Huo Chuo. What he was worried about was that the huge victory of this war would allow Li Conggu to add other ideas.

Once a person's ambition spreads, desire overwhelms reason, and in the end, the whole person will lose control. Many things that were not even dared to think before, because of the direction of the situation, in the end, there was only one result. Not only did he dare to think, but he also dared to do it. That would be terrible.

In order to deal with the situation in Hebei, the current emperor Zhao Xun almost drained all the military forces of Hedong. Once the imperial army is completely annihilated here, the military defense of the entire Hedong will be extremely fragile.

Faced with something that is within your reach, will Li Conggu stop in time?

I'm afraid no one can predict this answer, because the greed of human nature is something you can't guess.

Li Congshan deliberately let go of the last tens of thousands of soldiers of the court, hoping that this army could retreat to Hedong. In this way, an army of tens of thousands of people would not have much threat to Hebei, and to a certain extent, weaken Li Conggu's desire to continue south. The situation should not spread or deteriorate further until now.

"Three Generals, you are not moving here. The old coach will probably not be happy if he knows."

Seeing that Li Congshan didn't say anything for a long time, Huo Chuo said softly.

"In his later years, 400,000 imperial guards were destroyed in Hebei. If the five major vassal states were defeated in one go, they could easily conquer Fengjing and then change the dynasty. But the final result was to withdraw the troops. Do you know why?"

Li Congshan suddenly said this topic.

"That was because Tian Zongqing strongly opposed it, so he finally withdrew his troops."

As a native of Hebei, Huo Chuo naturally knew these past events very well.

Li Congshan asked: "Why did Tian Zongqing strongly oppose it, and even rebel against the other four major military governors, and even retreat?"

Tian Zongqing was the father of Tian Zhang and the head of the five major vassal states. He was a hero of a generation. He dominated Hebei for more than 20 years and was famous all over the world. He was known as the No. 1 general in Hebei at that time. At that time, Tian Zongqing was unique and strong, and defeated the other four major vassal states and had to unite to fight together. If Pingzong had launched the Battle of Hebei a few years later, in terms of the situation at that time, perhaps Tian Zongqing could have eliminated the other four major vassal states and unified the entire Hebei land with his own strength.

Unfortunately, in the second year after the end of the Hebei War, Tian Zongqing died of illness and his incompetent son Tian Zhang inherited his position. As a result, he worked in vain for decades and eventually died in internal strife, which made Li Conggu uselessly.

Huo Chuo thought for a while and said, "That's because Liu Jie, the governor of Longyou at that time, assembled a 100,000 army and could turn back to the pass at any time. In this way, everyone was not sure to eat Fengjing in one breath, and the people's hearts at that time were not completely lost. Once the two sides formed a stalemate, the five major governors would inevitably be condemned and cursed by everyone in the world. Under these pressures, Tian Zongqing strongly opposed it."

After hearing Huo Chuo's words, Li Congshan shook his head: "You are wrong. The reason why Tian Zongqing opposed continuing to advance was not because of Liu Jie, nor because of the people's hearts. At that time, more than 300,000 troops of the five major vassal states would really fight all the way. Not to mention whether Liu Jie dared to come back, even if he brought back 100,000 Longyou Army, he would definitely not be the opponent of the Hebei vassal states."

"As for the people's hearts, whoever becomes emperor will be better for the people in the world will have the hearts of the people."

Huo Chuo said in confusion: "Then why did Tian Zongqing oppose continuing to advance? There must be a reason, right?"

Li Congshan looked at Huo Chuo and said slowly: "The situation back then, once the five major vassal states insist on destroying the Great Jin Dynasty, the Hu clan will inevitably invade, there will be chaos inside and strong external enemies attack, how can we resist? At that time, the world will inevitably be in chaos, and billions of people may become slaves of the country and the Hu people. It is precisely because Tian Zongqing has the world in his heart that he strongly opposes continuing to advance."

Li Congshan suddenly sighed and said, "For the sake of the great master and righteousness, a person can give up his dreams and ambitions that he has fought for all his life. Tian Zongqing is indeed worthy of admiration, and it is not worthy of being the name of a hero of a generation."

After hearing Li Congshan's words, Huo Chuo was shocked and looked at the other person blankly. It was not until this moment that he finally understood Li Congshan's true thoughts.

"Three Generals, if there were twenty years earlier and today's situation, what would you make a choice?"

Huo Chuo suddenly couldn't help asking such a question.

Twenty years ago, the Hu tribe was divided, which was the most declining period, and the Jin Dynasty had no external troubles.
