An error occurred while processing private documents. Wanyan Gao hated Li Hu deeply. He had no intention of negotiating at all. He planned to fight Li Hu decisively in Yanjing and win the battle at all costs to reverse the situation. Liu Yanzong immediately dissuaded him, "Marshal, how likely are we to hold Yanjing?" Wanyan Gao has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and reinforcements from Beijing and Tokyo are entering Yanjing. If nothing goes wrong, they will arrive at the end of this month. Next month, Wanyan Gao can at least gather about 200,000 troops in Yanshan Prefecture to fight Li Hu. Of course, Li Hu's strength has surpassed that of the Jin Kingdom after the Tiger Army completely annihilated Zongfu's Hebei army. At least They surpassed the Kingdom of Jin on the battlefield of Youyan. This decisive battle was actually about defending Yanjing to hold back the Tiger Army and take advantage of the inability of China's financial resources to support the war for a long time to win the final victory. Therefore, Wanyan Gao confidently told Liu Yanzong, "We can definitely defend Yanjing." Liu Yanzong smiled bitterly and asked again, "Marshal asked Huanglong Mansion for help as early as when Zhending was lost and the war situation in Hebei was in crisis. I hope that Huanglong Mansion can send reinforcements, but as of today, it has been a month since Zhen Ding fell. Why haven¡¯t we seen reinforcements entering Yanshan Mansion?¡± Wanyan Gao was stunned for a moment, the confidence on his face slowly disappeared, and his eyes gradually faded. Showing anger. Obviously, Huanglong Mansion's slow response was not because of its confidence in Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zongfu, nor because it made a wrong estimate of the situation in Hebei. It was because someone was obstructing it and deliberately slowing down the reinforcements, which in turn led to the Jin Army's defeat in Hebei. Later, unable to hold on to the front line of Baigou, Hu Lie's army was overwhelming and surrounded Yanjing in a short period of time. Of course, those who intended to take advantage of the war situation in Hebei to attack Wu Qimai and Wanyan Gao did not expect that Wanyan Zongfu and the Hebei Jin Army would be wiped out, otherwise they would not have put Youyan in the predicament he is in today. However, Youyan's predicament today actually gave these people an opportunity to deal a heavy blow to Wu Qimai and Wanyan Gao. In the future, the situation in Huanglong Mansion will be more complicated and full of crises. Liu Yanzong saw Wanyan Gao's solemn look and knew that his reminder had worked, so he continued: "The Youyan battlefield has formed a decisive battle situation, but our army is at a disadvantage and can only hold on to the city. There is no chance of counterattack now. , In this case, those in Huanglong Mansion will definitely seize this golden opportunity and seize the opportunity to seize power." Wanyan Gao's expression suddenly changed. The war situation has developed to this day, and the Jin army has lost consecutive battles. Marshal Wanyan Gao has an unshirkable responsibility. His political future is very bleak. Whether he can maintain his current power depends on the battle at Yanjing, but Yanjing In fact, there is no chance of turning defeat into victory in the Beijing War. The most likely possibility is that Li Hu takes the initiative to withdraw his troops. However, no one can predict when Li Hu will withdraw his troops. With the financial resources of China, it is even possible to support the war for a long time. If Li Hu does not withdraw his troops and the two armies continue to fight like this, then the situation will obviously be unfavorable to the Jin Kingdom, especially to Wanyan Gao. If Wanyan Gao wants to make a difference, he must defend Yanjing and repel Li Hu as quickly as possible. However, Huanglong Mansion's opponents must hinder him and constantly "attack" Wanyan Gao. So can Wu Qimai still protect Wanyan Gao? Can Wanyan Gao be given time to defeat Li Hu? Wanyan Gao fell, and the strength of Wu Qimai's family was greatly damaged. Can Wu Qimai maintain his current power? Wu Qimai could not maintain his power. Once the Jurchen Alliance headed by Wanyan Zonghan had the highest decision-making power, it was foreseeable that the world of the Great Jin Kingdom would change. "We all know the relationship between Li Hu and the Khitans." Liu Yanzong said, "When the Khitans saw our defeat in Youyan, their main forces rushed to Yanjing to fight, and they were bound to unite with the desert tribes to attack Shangjing again. Our country, the Jin Dynasty, was attacked from both sides, and Shangjing The safety of Huanglong Mansion is directly related to the safety of Huanglong Mansion. From this, it is not difficult to infer that Huanglong Mansion must defend Shangjing with all its strength. If so, can Yanjing be able to defend it? " Wanyan Gao broke out in a cold sweat, thinking of Yanjing. He couldn't help but shudder at the consequences of Beijing's fall, and was extremely frightened in his heart. Once the Jin Kingdom is attacked from both sides, whether it is Wu Qimai or his opponent, the first decision is to defend Shangjing to ensure the safety of Huanglong Mansion. In other words, in order to avoid a two-front war, Huanglong Mansion can only give in to Li Hu and use Yanshan Mansion as the In exchange for Li Hu's peace, in exchange for the alliance between China and Earth. If the situation develops to this point, Wanyan Gao will definitely be doomed, Wu Qimai will also be in danger, and the power struggle in Huanglong Mansion will finally come to an end, but this result is obviously something Wu Qimai and Wanyan Gao do not want to see. Liu Yanzong was Wu¡¯s beggar. He was the main contributor in promoting the implementation of the Han system in the Jin Kingdom. Wu Qimai lost power, and Wu Qimai's line suffered a heavy blow. Liu Yanzong was the first to bear the brunt and was about to fall together with Wanyan Gao. They both prospered and suffered losses, so Liu Yanzong had to analyze the future situation thoroughly. "Marshal's time is running out." Liu Yanzong said surprisingly, "Although Li Hu devoted himself to the Yanjing battlefieldWith hundreds of thousands of troops, he has no absolute advantage, let alone conquering Yanjing in a short time. The battle of Yanjing will definitely be a protracted battle. Li Hu has enough time, but the marshal's time is limited. According to my guess, when the Khitans blew the rallying horn in the desert and Yelu Longqing led his army to attack Shangjing, it was the moment the marshal left Yanjing. Once the marshal leaves Yanjing, it will be a terrible disaster for His Majesty, the entire royal family, and the civil and military ministers who are attached to the royal family. " Wanyan Gao sat still, his face became very ugly, and his mind was even more confused. Liu Yanzong stopped talking and gave Wanyan Gao time to calm down. After a long time, Wanyan Gao moved his body with difficulty and said respectfully He asked: "What are the countermeasures? " "Li Hu has already thought of a countermeasure for the marshal. Liu Yanzong smiled bitterly and said, "Li Hu is a genius, a rare genius." I even suspect that he had already thought of this strategy when he launched the Northern Expedition. " Wanyan Gao didn't understand and looked confused. When Li Hu was negotiating in Shahe, he once took out a "bait" to exchange Yanjing's support for Wanyan Gao and help him ascend to the "Storage Reserve" The position of "Deputy". Wanyan Gao became the Vice-President, and he would inherit the throne of the emperor that Wu Qi bought. In other words, the power of the Kingdom of Jin would always be in the hands of the royal family. As for how to help, Li Hu did not say, because Wanyan Gao didn't give Li Hu a chance to continue talking. He rejected Li Hu's peace terms. Now Li Hu had reached Yanjing and pushed Wan Yangao into a desperate situation. Then he immediately proposed peace talks and the terms of peace talks. It is very likely that he is still the "bait", but the question is, when Wanyan Gao is in a desperate situation, how can Li Hu turn the tide and help Wanyan Gao get out of the predicament and ascend to the high position of "Deputy Reserve"? Can Wanyan Gao think about it? Understand, he lowered his head and said nothing, waiting for Liu Yanzong to continue. Maybe Liu Yanzong already knew the answer. "I finally understand one thing now. "Liu Yanzong reached out and picked up Li Hu's letter from the table, held it up in front of Wanyan Gao and shook it twice, with a look of admiration on his face, "The real purpose of Li Hu's Northern Expedition was not to recover Hebei and Youyan, but to recover Hebei and Youyan. Use the Northern Expedition to usurp the Song Dynasty's state Zuo. " Wanyan Gao suddenly raised his head, stared at Liu Yanzong, and immediately figured out the key, "I see, that's it" Wanyan Gao suddenly raised his right hand and slapped it heavily on the table, "Mrs. Li Hu. It's amazing, this plan is perfect, it's perfect" Liu Yanzong nodded repeatedly, "It is indeed a brilliant plan. We always thought that Li Hu would seize Zuo of the Song Dynasty after stabilizing the Central Plains, but now it seems that he is impatient. He wants to seize Zuo of the Song Dynasty immediately and dominate the Central Plains. " "In order to seize the throne of the Song Dynasty, he first wanted to make the Northern Expedition and unify China to achieve unparalleled achievements. "Wanyan Gao said with excitement, "Now that he has achieved meritorious service, if he does not take the opportunity to capture the Song Dynasty, he will lose his best opportunity. " "At this moment, even if Li Hu still has the patience to wait, his subordinates have no patience. People like Dong Xiaoxiu and Luo Qinghan will never watch such an opportunity disappear out of thin air. "Liu Yanzong then said to Wanyan Gao, "Li Hu is unable to dismount from the tiger, so he can only seize Zuo of the Song Dynasty as quickly as possible. Although in his opinion, the opportunity in front of him may not be very good. " "Li Hu entered Middle-earth for too short a time and had too many opponents. The risk of seizing Zuo of the Song Dynasty was very high. For this, he needed the ally of the Kingdom of Jin. "Wanyan Gao said, "In the Great Jin Kingdom, we are at a disadvantage, while the Jurchen Alliance headed by Zong Han is at the upper hand. At this time, by forming an alliance with us, he can get the guarantee of peace. " "Zong Han insisted on the development strategy of "first north and then south". He wanted to conquer the desert, but Li Hu helped the Khitans rebuild Daliao. The Khitans wanted to get rid of Li Hu's control and rise again, so they secretly formed an alliance with the Jin Kingdom, and took advantage of the Jin army's heavy damage to the Zubu people to re-enter the desert. "Liu Yanzong said, "The Khitans are rising very fast. This time they will definitely take advantage of the Tiger Army's Northern Expedition to attack Shangjing again. In this way, not only will Zong Han's conquest of the desert be hindered, but even the security of Huanglong Mansion will be affected. threaten. " "Huanglong Mansion was forced to negotiate peace with Li Hu, and Li Hu helped the Jurchens conquer the desert in return. "Wanyan Gao became more and more excited as he spoke, and his despair had long since disappeared. "In order to conquer the desert, Huanglong Mansion must make concessions to Li Hu. The first condition is the selection of the 'Deputy Reserve'. Considering the future of the Jin Kingdom, Zong Han will definitely accept Li Hu's conditions and exchange the support of the entire Huanglong Mansion with the candidate of 'Deputy Chu', thereby ensuring that the Jin army can conquer the desert and unify the entire north. " " As soon as Li Hu came up with this strategy, he not only won Yanjing, but also won the alliance with the Jin Kingdom. It also affected the power struggle in Huanglong Mansion, which in turn affected the decision-making of the Jin Kingdom. "Liu Yanzong shook his head and sighed, "The decision of the Kingdom of Jin was established, and all its forces were immediately invested in the battle to conquer the desert.At that time, we fought hard with the Khitans and the Tibetan tribes in the desert, and Li Hu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and used thunderous means to stabilize the entire Central Plains, quickly restore national power, and strengthen our strength. " Wanyan Gao also shook his head and sighed, "When we heard that Li Hu helped the Khitans rebuild the Liao Dynasty, we all thought that Li Hu was raising tigers to cause trouble. Now we know that Li Hu was using the Khitans as bait. Only by helping the Khitans to rebuild the Liao could Li Hu make the Jin Kingdom feel the threat of the Khitans, and the Jin Kingdom would urgently need to conquer the desert. Only in this way can this bait be effective and ensure that the Jin Kingdom accepts his peace terms. Wanyan Gao smiled bitterly, and said, "The Khitans were betrayed by Li Hu, and we were also plotted by Li Hu and fell into this huge trap." " "This is a terrible trap. "Liu Yanzong was a little frustrated, "Our strategy of 'first south then north' failed, and we could only re-introduce the 'first north then south' development strategy. But at this time the Khitans rebuilt Daliao, and we and the Khitans had to fight for life and death. Fight. This situation seems to be caused by the development of the situation, but if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find the key role Li Hu played in it. Whether he helped the Khitans rebuild the Liao Dynasty or helped us conquer the desert, in the end it was Li Hu who Tiger gained the greatest benefit. " Wanyan Gao thought about Li Hu's peace terms, and his excitement gradually disappeared. A sense of helplessness and sadness at having his destiny controlled by others suddenly filled his body and mind, "Will the Dajin Congress stand in China in the future? Liu Yanzong was silent for a long time and sighed in a low voice: "God knows." "
