    An error occurred while processing private documents on July 1, due to Wanyan Zonghan's obstruction.  The peace talks between the two parties did not make any substantial progress. Everyone was waiting for the imperial edict from the Huanglong Mansion. However, contrary to Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zongqian's expectations, the Huanglong Mansion had not yet made a decision.  The Emperor of the Jin Dynasty issued an edict to Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zongqian. Since many Jurchen tribal leaders in the Jurchen Alliance firmly opposed giving up Yanshan Prefecture, Huanglong Prefecture was unable to make a decision to form an alliance and negotiate peace with China.  Wu Qimai was angry but also very frustrated. The critical situation in Huanglong Mansion today was caused by the repeated defeats of the Jin Army in the war with China. Someone must bear the responsibility for this consequence. The real power faction headed by Wu Qimai  A price must be paid for this and part of the power must be handed over, and the first to bear the brunt are Wanyan Gao, Liu Yanzong and others. They must leave the center of power.  Wu Qimai lamented in his edict that if the situation continued like this, he might not be able to preserve his own authority, let alone protect Wanyan Gao and others.  Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zongqian discussed with Liu Yanzong, Yang Pu and others for a long time, and decided to once again compromise with Li Hu to seek Li Hu's help.  On this day, Wanyan Zongqian rushed to Commander Li Hu¡¯s camp.  He is Wanyan Xingxing's eldest brother and Li Hu's brother-in-law, relying on this relationship.  Wanyan Zongqian has been getting along well with Li Hu since the negotiation, and he even met the detained brothers Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zongbi.  This time Wanyan Zongqian came to see Li Hu alone, nominally asking Li Hu to release Zong Fu, Zong Bi, Ta Lan and other Jin army generals first.  After Wanyan Zongqian made the request, Li Hu agreed without even thinking about it.  "You have to consider one thing." Li Hu said with a smile, "Under the current situation, Zong Fu, Zong Bi and others returning to Huanglong Mansion will not improve your situation in Huanglong Mansion." Wanyan Zongqian suddenly saw that  Dew looks happy.  This is a hint made by Li Hu on his own initiative, and it is very likely that his trip will achieve his goal.  Li Hu now urgently needs to reach an agreement.  The situation in China is not good, and the Khitans are unable to compete with the Jin army. No matter what happens, Li Hu will be passive, so he has to take the initiative to give a hint to Wanyan Zong that he is willing to fight at this critical moment.  Always give Wu Qimai a helping hand and help Wu Qimai get through the difficulties at hand. In fact, you are helping him get through the difficulties himself.  "King Tiger, if we continue to attack the Khitans in the next few years, it will pose a major threat to the security of China." Wanyan Zongqian responded immediately, testing Li Hu's intention, "Especially for King Tiger's great cause of domination.  It has an immeasurable impact. "The Jurchens attacked the Khitans and the desert. With the current strength of the Khitans and the desert tribes, they were obviously at a disadvantage. Once the desert tribes turned to the Jurchens, the Khitan people's days would be numbered.  Counted.  In order to maintain the chaos in the north, China maintains the three-legged northern pattern.  It is obvious that action must be taken, so that Middle-earth will be in trouble.  Li Hu smiled slightly and already heard the meaning behind Zong Qian's words.  "You also know that the reason why I helped the Khitans rebuild Daliao, helped the Khitans increase their strength, and formed a three-legged pattern in the north is to buy China enough time to recover its vitality and restore its national strength." Li Hu said bluntly,  Simply make it clear, "If you Jurchens can give me a promise and give me a hundred-year peace alliance like the Song-Liao-Chanyuan Alliance, of course I will also be willing to give you a promise from the Jin Kingdom." Wanyan Zongqian was overjoyed, but he didn't  Thinking that Li Hu had already made plans in this regard.  If Li Hu promises not to help the Khitans anymore, then this matter will definitely affect the political structure of Huanglong Mansion.  "The confrontation between the north and the south is a good thing for both China and the north." Wanyan Zongqian said happily, "On the contrary, the melee in the north will not only seriously threaten the security of the country, but also have unpredictable consequences for the world pattern.  Bad consequences." Li Hu smiled and nodded.  "You and I have the same view. If we, China and the Kingdom of Jin, can reach an agreement on this basis, it will be of great benefit to both China and the Kingdom of Jin."  Speak freely without any scruples.  Li Hu demanded that this peace negotiation must form a tripartite pattern in the north. Then in the next three years, the north must maintain stability. Whoever provokes a war first, then the other two will join forces to attack the other.  Three years later, Li Hu stabilized China and China gradually regained its vitality. At that time, if the Jin Kingdom decided to launch a northern expedition and unify the north, Li Hu would provide help. This help would include no longer providing any support to the Khitans.  "These three years are very important to me." Li Hu said solemnly, "This is the bottom line of the peace negotiation between our two countries and is not negotiable." Wanyan Zongqian understood the idea and nodded repeatedly.  He knew why Li Hu wanted three years of peace, because Li Hu wanted to seize Zuo of the Song Dynasty and??Zhongtu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, established a country and opened borders, and established a brand new dynasty.  The royal family of this dynasty has a close marriage relationship with the royal family of the Jin Kingdom. With this relationship, Wu Qimai and the political faction headed by him can not only regain the lost power in Huanglong Mansion, but also implement new national policies in a drastic way and quickly enhance national power.  As long as the country's strength increases, it will be victorious in the future war to unify the north.  The power of the Great Jin Kingdom will be firmly controlled by the political faction headed by Wu Qimai. Zong Han and the Jurchen Alliance headed by him will be suppressed again, and the Great Jin Kingdom will take the next step under Wu Qimai's leadership.  move towards their goals.  £½¡¡Wanyan Zongqian returned to Yanjing City and told Wanyan Gao and Liu Yanzong about the results of his trip. Everyone was very happy.  Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zongqian immediately visited Zong Han. Wanyan Gao proposed a new peace plan. The core content of this peace plan was that after three years of peace in the north, Li Hu would help the Jin Kingdom unify the north.  Zong Han was very excited about this plan.  The most critical aspect of this plan is whether Li Hu's promise is valid. If Li Hu goes back on his promise three years later and continues to help the Khitans fight against the Jurchens and prevent the Jin Kingdom from unifying the north, then this peace negotiation will be equivalent to the Jin Kingdom helping Li Hu.  Very busy, but got nothing.  Wanyan Zongqian believed that Li Hu's promise must be effective, because Li Hu was about to seize the Song Dynasty Guo Zuo. There would be no problem in seizing the Song Dynasty Guo Zuo with Li Hu's strength, but it would be difficult to stabilize China and restore its vitality within three years.  , after all, China was first invaded by foreign enemies, then divided into civil wars, and then Li Hu started the great cause of unification non-stop. It is conceivable that domestic chaos and the loss of national power took less than ten years.  China has no hope of revitalization at all.  Wanyan Zongqian¡¯s views come from the analysis and judgment of Han officials in Shandong, Hebei and other places, and are very convincing.  After listening carefully, Zong Han basically accepted Wanyan Zongqian's statement.  With such a long time as a buffer, the Jurchens would definitely be able to conquer the desert and unify the north.  However, if Zong Han accepts this plan, he must make a compromise with Wu Qimai.  Zong Han has won on the basic national policy related to the survival and development of the Jin Kingdom, but if he wants to achieve the goal of unifying the north, he must win the unity of the Huanglong Mansion. However, today's Huanglong Mansion has lost its battle with China.  The conflict is fierce, with two opposing factions facing each other tit for tat.  Sparing no effort to attack the opponent, if this situation does not change, let alone the three-year buffer, even in ten years the Jurchens will be unable to defeat the Khitans and conquer the desert due to endless internal strife.  Zong Han thought for a long time, but in the end the future of the Jurchens and the Kingdom of Jin prevailed. He decided to make a political compromise with Wu Qimai so that the two factions could seek common ground while reserving differences and work together to complete the great cause of unifying the north.  = On the tenth day of July, Wanyan Gao, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongqian met with Li Hu to negotiate on this new peace plan.  Li Hu made a promise, but he insisted on taking back Pingzhou Road.  If Pingzhou Road cannot be recovered, the great cause of reunification of China and Turkey will not be completed.  Zong Han did not believe Li Hu's promise, and was even less willing to hand over Pingzhou Road. However, with the mediation of Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zongqian, Zong Han finally made a concession, and Pingzhou Road was temporarily guarded by Jin Guo. Three years later,  , once the Jin Kingdom completes the unification of the north, it will return Pingzhou Road to China, but China must exchange it for the collapsed ridge north of Yinshan Mountain.  The collapsing ridge is located in the northern part of Yinshan Mountain and was controlled by the Daibei Tiger Army in the past.  After Li Hu helped the Khitans rebuild Daliao, he temporarily lent this place to the Khitans.  According to the alliance between the two countries, once the Khitans defeat the Jurchens and recapture Shangjing, Collapse Ridge will be returned to China.  This place is very close to Daibei. The desert tribes can directly attack Datong by crossing Yinshan Mountain, so Li Hu will never give up.  Negotiations have reached a deadlock.  = In mid-July, news suddenly came from the Shangjing battlefield. The Tiger Army moved north from the Lightning River and stationed at Dashuibo to join the Khitan Emperor. It was only more than 300 miles away from the Heihe battlefield. Once the Tiger Army joined the battlefield, the Jin Army  It is certain that the Heihe defense line cannot be defended, and the situation on the battlefield in Shangjing suddenly becomes critical.  Immediately afterwards, bad news came from Shangjing that Wanyan Lou, the commander-in-chief of the southwest capital, was seriously ill.  It is no longer possible to command operations.  Zong Han sighed, the good luck of the Jurchens gradually disappeared with the death of the late emperor Wanyan Aguda, and now they are even more difficult.  Gao Qingyi also persuaded Zong Han at this time that Li Hu would betray the Khitans to win the Pingzhou Road and replace the three-legged structure in the north with a confrontation between the north and the south. This price was very high for Li Hu, and even more so for China.  It is full of unknown variables, so Gao Qingyi believes that it is better to take advantage of Li Hu's current opportunity to dominate China and quickly form an alliance to lay a solid foundation for unifying the north.  On July 18, Zong Han took the initiative to meet with Li Hu and made concessions again. As long as Li Hu kept his promise, then the Kingdom of JinOnce the north is unified, Pingzhou Road will be returned immediately.  As for Collapse Ridge, it is the territory of Middle-earth.  Li Hu also took the initiative to give in, but he gave a ten-year deadline.  Ten years later, regardless of whether the Jin Army unified the north, Pingzhou Road must be returned to China. Otherwise, it will be equivalent to declaring war on China, and the Tiger Army will regain Pingzhou Road by force.  In order to ensure that the Kingdom of Jin abides by the covenant, Li Hu made another request. The Kingdom of Jin wants to establish a governor, and the candidate for the deputy governor is Wanyan Gao. If the Huanglong Mansion cannot accept it, then the covenant cannot be concluded. General Hu Lie will  After Huanglong Mansion rejected the draft treaty agreed upon by both parties, it launched a full-scale attack on the Jin Kingdom.  Li Hu¡¯s request at this moment is beneficial to both parties.  Li Hu needs the guarantee of peace, while Zong Han needs a stable Huanglong Mansion so that the Jurchens can work together to unify the north. His compromise on this matter will win the gratitude of Wu Qimai and Wanyan Gao, and can ensure that he firmly  Firmly control the military power of the Kingdom of Jin.  On July 19, the draft covenants between Song and Jin were sent to Chang'an and Huanglong respectively as quickly as possible.
