    An error occurred while processing private documents. Although Wanyan Gao and Liu Yanzong made detailed analysis and predictions of the future situation.  .  .  I also made some guesses about Li Hu's purpose of requesting peace. However, the real problem is that reinforcements from all over Liaodong are moving south. Huanglong Mansion has not yet made a final decision on the rapid changes in the war situation in China. Wanyan Gao dare not make a decision at this moment.  Contact Li Hu to prevent Huanglong Mansion from getting hold of the situation.  However, Wanyan Gao accepted Liu Yanzong's suggestion and wrote a letter back to Li Hu. In the letter, Wanyan Gao made a very subtle hint that he was willing to negotiate a peace, but the premise was that the negotiation between the two parties must be based on the overall situation in the north.  Change on.  After Li Hu got the letter, he read it several times, then invited Zhu Xia, Liu Jingyuan and Wang An to the military tent and handed the letter to them.  The three of them read it one after another and looked at each other. They didn't know what Li Hu's plan was for the battle at Youyan. Was he going to win by force or negotiate a peace?  Zhu Xia spoke first, analyzing the current battlefield situation of both sides, the number of troops, and many other military aspects. He finally came to the conclusion that the Yanjing War involved the entire northern situation, and there would definitely be huge changes in the northern war situation in the next one to two months.  Variety.  "We have sent a request to the Khitan people. If nothing happens, Yelu Longqing's army will attack Shangjing in two months and form a pincer attack with us from the north and the south. However, the Jurchens will never give up Yanjing easily, and Yelu Longqing will also  They will not sincerely help us seize Youyan, so in my judgment, the Yanjing war will be protracted and unlikely to end in the short term." Zhu Xia said this and turned his eyes to Liu Jingyuan and Wang An.  The two understood the situation and immediately analyzed it from the perspective of the supply of money, food and weapons.  If the Yanjing War continues and drags on until autumn or even winter, then money, food and weapons will definitely not be able to support it.  "How long can it last?" Li Hu asked.  "We can hold on until June at most." Liu Jingyuan said with a bitter smile, "The situation in the southeast has deteriorated rapidly. I heard that the remnants of the White Lotus in Jiangnan have come down to cause trouble. Many people estimate that there will be a rebellion in Jiangnan, so" "We recovered the southeast and took the southeast.  With so much wealth, can¡¯t we sustain a decisive battle?¡± Li Hu asked coldly.  Liu Jingyuan did not dare to answer. Wang An hesitated for a moment and then bravely said: "Commander, if the southeast is stable, of course it is possible, but now the southeast is becoming increasingly chaotic" Li Hu shook his hand and signaled Wang An to stop talking.  "That is to say, I must end the Northern Expedition in June." Li Hu looked at the three of them, and finally focused on Zhu Xia's face.  Zhu Xia shook his head. Judging from the current battle situation, it would be difficult for the Tiger Army to conquer Yanjing and regain Yanshan Mansion within two months.  "Wanyan Gao has no intention of negotiating, let alone surrendering Yanjing." Zhu Xia pointed to the letter on the desk and said, "Even if Wanyan Gao himself had the idea of ????negotiation due to various reasons, in Huanglong Mansion  Before making a decision on peace, he would not dare to negotiate with us without authorization. "The meaning of Zhu Xia's words is very clear. Li Hu's plan to win over Yanjing through peace negotiation has no chance of success, at least for now.  Li Hu nodded slightly and said to Liu Jingyuan and Wang An, "What suggestions do you have?" The suggestions of these two people were limited to finding ways to raise more money and food, but Liu Jingyuan thought twice and asked Li Hu to change his strategy as soon as possible to stabilize the country.  environment, at least a heavy hand must be used in the southeast to resolutely suppress the rebellion, thereby ensuring the steady recovery of the southeast economy.  Li Hu thought for a long time and asked, "How about an army of fifty thousand?" Liu Jingyuan and Wang An breathed a sigh of relief.  "Fifty thousand troops are enough." Li Hu finally took action. This was a signal and the beginning of Li Hu's efforts to contain the storm and stabilize the domestic situation. Perhaps after the Yanjing War, Li Hu would end the storm's impact on China.  Wreaked havoc.  "Write a letter to Commander Yue, asking him to come to the camp as soon as possible." = Two days later, Yue Fei returned to the commander's camp from the Yanjing front line.  Li Hu informed in detail his conception of the northern war situation.  Currently, the Tiger Army wants to intercept the Jin Army in both Tanzhou and Jizhou directions, resolutely block the Jin Army, surround the Jin Army in Yanjing, and form a stalemate on the Yanjing battlefield.  At the same time, Li Hu has urgently written to Yelu Longqing, Yelu Mage and Yelu Dashi, asking them to take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack on Shangjing.  Once the Khitan army began to attack, the Jin army immediately fell into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. At that time, Huanglong Mansion had only one way, and that was to abandon Yanjing and exchange Yanjing for an alliance with China, so as to concentrate its efforts on defeating the Khitans.  Yue Fei frowned slightly and asked immediately: "What should we do about Pingzhou Road? If the Jin army continues to occupy Pingzhou Road, then one of the Jurchens' hands will reach into the Central Plains and pose a major threat to our Central Earth general."  "We must believe in our strength and the power of China."?As long as we stabilize China and restore our national strength, not to mention Pingzhou Road, even Huanglong Mansion will be in danger.  "Li Hu said very confidently, "The problem of Pingzhou Road is not a problem at all. The most urgent problem before our arrival is to form a three-legged situation in the north.  And drag the Jurchens and Khitan people into the quagmire of war, thereby buying time for the stability and recovery of Middle-earth.  Only in this way can we win victory in future wars, and while ensuring the security of Central and Eastern China, we can continue to expand our territory and regain the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties.  " Yue Fei was infected by Li Hu's heroic spirit, and his mind suddenly broadened. The small Pingzhou Road immediately became insignificant in his eyes. " Are the Khitans trustworthy?  The commander-in-chief helped them rebuild the Liao Dynasty, but the Khitan people secretly colluded with the Jurchens in return. Although the Khitan people's treacherous behavior did not endanger the security of the Central Plains, the Khitan people were ungrateful wolves.  It is possible to bite the coach back at this critical moment.  "Yue Fei said worriedly about the Khitans. "The Khitans never expected that I would kill Youyan in such a short period of time and severely damage the Jin army.  "Li Hu smiled and said, "For Yelu Longqing, Yelu Mage and Yelu Dashi, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If it were you, would you be willing to give up such a good opportunity?  " "The real problem is that the Khitans are not strong enough, and they have deep hatred with the Zubu people. If the Khitans attack Shangjing, they will face the dilemma of instability in the rear. In this case, the safest way for the Khitans is to form an alliance.  The Jurchens and I are in Middle Earth.  First stand in the desert.  "Yue Fei said, "For the Khitans, if they want to form a three-legged structure in the north, they first need territory and strength, so they may not fall into the trap of the commander.  " "Without my support, without my fierce army to contain the Jin Kingdom, the Khitan people would simply not be able to stand in the desert.  "Li Hu said calmly, "Although they know this is a trap, they have to jump if they don't want to, otherwise they have no hope at all and will be devoured by the ferocious Jurchens again.  " Yue Fei thought for a moment. He had to admit that Li Hu's statement was correct. As far as the Khitans are concerned, alliance with China is the basis for survival and development, while alliance with the Jin Kingdom is really seeking skin from a tiger. The Khitans want to rise again in the north, and  The Jurchens want to conquer the desert and unify the north. The two of them are life-and-death enemies, so as Li Hu said, even if the Khitans knew that attacking Beijing was a trap, they had to fight, because once Li Hu formed an alliance with the Jin Kingdom, the entire northern war situation would be Khitan  In the war between the people and the Jurchens, whether the Khitans could continue to survive at that time completely depended on Li Hu's wishes. As long as Li Hu supported them, they would be able to survive and there would be hope. "Commander, ours.  How long can money, food and weapons last?  "Yue Fei asked a key question. Li Hu smiled, "You have a plan in mind, even better than me.  Yue Fei shook his head helplessly, "Commander, this battle will take time, so you must find a way to raise more money and food to sustain the war."  " "I'm thinking of a way.  "Li Hu said, "I plan to let Zhang Gaoer and Luo Lan lead an army of 50,000 to the southeast to quell the rebellion, and at the same time raise money and food for the army.  " Yue Fei immediately understood what Li Hu meant, and a chill suddenly appeared in his vest, "Commander, is there a rebellion in the southeast?  "    "right.  "Li Hu said lightly, "There are remnants of the White Lotus Sect in the southeast. The reason why these remnants are taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble is because they have the rebellious support of Tong Guan's gang behind them.  Most of the officials in the southeast support the rebellious gang and oppose our Tiger Army, trying to use the White Lotus Sect to poison and divide our country. Therefore, Zhang Gaoer and Luo Lan's mission is to suppress the rebellion and kill the rebels at all costs.  " Yue Fei looked at Li Hu in surprise, not knowing what to say. Li Hu finally couldn't help but take action, and the storm in the southeast was just an excuse for him to send troops to massacre the officials in the southeast. Once the butcher's knife was raised, Li Hu could not only justifiably  Killing the opponent can also legitimately take away their property, and the property of these people can just help the Hu Lie Army to persist on the Youyan battlefield. Yue Fei thought of the bloody storm that was about to begin in the southeast.  Thousands of people will die under the sword of the fierce tiger army. He can't help but fight several cold wars and never dare to look at Li Hu again. "In the near future, you must be on the Tanzhou battlefield or Jizhou.  Fight a winning battle on the battlefield.  Li Hu asked, "In your opinion, which battlefield is more reliable?"  " Yue Fei calmed down his emotions, thought carefully for a moment, and said: "It is most advantageous to fight on the Jizhou battlefield.  To the east of Jizhou is Pingzhou Road. Once our army wins the Jizhou battlefield, it will immediately threaten Pingzhou Road, which will pose a great threat to the Jin army.  " Li Hu nodded, "You go and do it right away. The sooner this battle is fought, the better.  ¡± = Zhang Gaoer and Luo Lan accepted Li Hu¡¯s fateOrder, lead the army south and rush to the southeast battlefield.  Before leaving, Zhang Gaoer suddenly asked, "Commander, when will you return to Chang'an?" "Of course we have to wait until the Yanjing War is over." Li Hu said with a smile.  "The general has unified China and made unparalleled achievements. In what capacity will he return to Chang'an to accept the cheers of the people?" Zhang Gaoer asked again.  Li Hu said nothing.  "Commander, don't waste time." Zhang Gao'er bowed and said, "Commander used to have good reasons, but now that China and Earth are about to be unified, what reason does commander have for delaying it? Brothers have been waiting for so many years, looking forward to it day and night.  At that exciting moment, please don't let the brothers down." Li Hu smiled and nodded, patting Zhang Gao'er hard on the shoulder, "Solve the matter in the southeast, and then we will return to Chang'an together."
