Chapter 16 Li Gang's Lasso

An error occurred while processing s private files

The discussion ends soon...

At present, there are only three most important things: to block the Jin army and Xia army in military terms, to stabilize the states behind the mountain in civil terms, and to maintain the needs of the military and civilians financially.

The military was personally responsible, and the commanders of each army were obeyed by his command; the civil affairs were Luo Qinghan, the deputy commander of the rebel army, the left-behind Xijing and the instructor of Datong Prefecture, and the chief ministers of the general administration, the governors of each state, and the observer were all subject to his control; the financial affairs were Hu Tu, the governor of the general administration, and he had the right to deal with it.

At a critical moment, sitting together and swearing is useless. Go and do what you should do, and the officials immediately left.

Li Hu, Luo Qinghan, Huo Liuge, Chai Yun, and Hu Tu are the centers of the General's Mansion. They stayed to continue discussing countermeasures.

"I plan to let Li Gang and Yuwen Xuzhong participate in the discussion." Li Hu said his reasons. As for the same sentence, before the rebel army grows, they have to rely on the Song Dynasty. However, this matter cannot be stopped on the surface and must be taken into practical actions. For example, if the special envoy Li Gang and Yuwen Xuzhong participate in the decision-making level of the rebel army, let the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and the court of the Song Dynasty truly feel the sincerity of the rebel army, and thus establish the minimum trust between the two sides. Otherwise, as the situation develops, the next matter will become more and more complicated, and it is even impossible to rule out that the Song Dynasty may join forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Han Dynasty.

Without trust, there is nothing. The so-called acceptance and recognition are based on the needs of interests. If this continues, both sides will become enemies at any time. As for the current situation of the rebel army, if both sides turn against each other, it will be a devastating disaster. Therefore, the rebel army must first show sincerity and take this matter seriously, so that the Song Dynasty can indeed feel that it has recovered the mountain and it has won the hearts of the Han'er who has been praying for returning to the Celestial Empire for generations.

Li Hu's suggestion caused controversy. Huo Liuge and Hu Tu were worried that the rebel army would be controlled by the Song Dynasty and lose its virility. However, under Li Hu's insistence, Luo Qinghan and Chai Yun both expressed support. At this moment, Dong Xiaohou in the center of the rebel army was killing Hukou, and Iron Eagle was in Zhenchuan Fort. Huang She was on the way to Bianjing, and Ma Liang was in Yanjing, so the proposal was forcibly passed.

Li Gang and Yuwen Xuzhong were invited, and Li Hu explained his meaning. Everyone understands what Li Hu is, and Li Gang and Yuwen Xu are all aware of it. At this time of crisis, of course he accepted it happily. In a sense, this was a substantial step taken by Li Hu and the Liaodong rebel army on the road to defect to the Song Dynasty.

Before this, Li Hu and the Liaodong rebel army had a goal from vassal states to vassal states, while the Emperor and the imperial court had a goal from vassal states to vassal states. However, the negotiations between the two sides began to diverge on the authority of vassal states. Although the Emperor of the Song Dynasty had made concessions due to the situation, whether it was Li Hu, Li Gang and Yuwen Xuzhong, they all knew that this was a stopgap plan, and both sides had no minimum trust, so the crisis was hidden behind it.

Building trust is the first step to eliminate the crisis. Now, due to the situation, Li Hu finally took this difficult first step. It is said that he is just right. Yuwen Xuzhong is new, but he and Li Gang have a friendship. Most of the two have the same views, and it can be said that they are like-minded. They talk about everything, so Yuwen Xuzhong also has a certain understanding of the rebel army.

Li Hu asked the two of them to talk first and give specific countermeasures based on the current territorial situation.

Li Gang and Yuwen Xuzhong were not polite either. They immediately gave three strategies.

First, a military victory was needed. The rebel army occupied Xijing for a short time. Before the Jiuzhou area of ​​the mountain was stabilized, the Jurchens and the Xixia people came to fight. This brought great panic to the people behind the mountain. In addition, the rebel army brought hundreds of thousands of Han people from western Liaoning. This greatly aggravated the chaos behind the mountain. The conflicts between Han people in different regions and between Han and Fan became more intense due to survival problems. At this time, the most effective way to stabilize the mountain and alleviate the conflicts is to fight a victory. Show the strong strength of the rebel army. There is no other way.

At the same time, this victory can establish the status of the Rebel Army in Daibei. It can shock the Jurchens and Xixia people strongly, let them know that the Rebel Army has the ability to defend Datong and Shanhou, thus forcing them to change the strategy of the Rebel Army in Daibei and then reverse the unfavorable situation of the Rebel Army in Daibei.

Secondly, we must use the current situation to stabilize the hearts of the people, and thus mobilize all the people behind the mountain to fight to guard their hometowns.

In order to stabilize the states behind the mountain, the General General's Office and the Xijing Left-behind Office have been deliberately concealing the real situation. As a result, rumors have flown everywhere. Everyone is in danger. The soaring grain prices and land are directly related to merchants deliberately hoarding grain, and the people are panic buying. For this reason, the General General General's Office and the Xijing Left-behind Office, the prefectures and counties must immediately tell the people the truth and let everyone know that the rebel army has defected to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty war flags have flew on the city towers behind the mountain. They can make the people happy and calm down immediately. With the solid support of the Song Dynasty, the crisis behind the mountain can be resolved soon. The people see hope. They will instead actively participate in the battle to defend their homes and the country.

Behind the mountain is the back of the Song Dynasty. The Han people from behind the mountain returned home, but at this time, the Jurchens and the Daxia people came to kill each other. They wanted to take away the back of the mountain and plunder the people behind the mountain.

The people behind the mountain have just realized their long-cherished wishes and have returned to the Heavenly Kingdom, but the barbarians are about to shatter their dreams, and these people will be angry about this. At this moment, the King of Han is commanding the soldiers to fight bloody battles, bleeding to defend the mountain and dedicate their lives to protect the people behind the mountain. These people will be moved by this.

Because of anger and touching, the people behind the mountain will do their best. In order to protect their homes and their dreams, they will help the Han King defeat the French captives at all costs.

The people's power is endless. They are like surging floods, which will destroy everything. As long as the General's Mansion makes good use of this huge power, it will definitely be no problem to defend the mountain behind.

The third strategy is to try to obtain various war materials urgently needed from Hedong Road.

Li Hu was the King of Han conferred by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. The mountain behind it was already the territory of the Song Dynasty. However, there were very few people who knew about this. The General General's Mansion should be immediately changed to the Prince of Han, and Li Hu, the General General, would also be immediately changed to the King of Han, and then sent a large number of people to go south to Hedong Road to convey the news, and to the prefectures of Hedong Road, proclaiming the achievements of the Song Dynasty after the recapturing of the mountain. This is a news that is enough to shock Hedong Road.

The back of the mountain was the territory of the Song Dynasty, but the Jurchens and the Xixia people wanted to invade and take it away, which would arouse the anger of the Hedong people. They would spontaneously use various methods to assist the mountain, and the descendants of the mountain went to Hedong to carry out the Huiyi, and they would also receive special care. In this way, even if there were problems with the official Huiyi in the Shanhou and Hedong, the descendants could still get the urgently needed materials from the private merchants in Hedong.

Before Li Hu finished listening, his anger became increasingly fierce. However, these three strategies can solve the current crisis, and he can't find a reason to get angry.

Li Gang and Yuwen Xu were very good at it. They took this opportunity to make the fact that Li Hu joined the Song Dynasty, so that the people behind the mountain and Hedong knew that Li Hu became the King of Han of the Song Dynasty, and Jiuzhou behind the mountain returned to the Song Dynasty. After cooking raw rice, are you still afraid that Li Hu would not submit?

Li Hu raised the banner of the Song Dynasty behind the mountain, and he and the Song Dynasty were firmly tied together. If he betrayed his faith in the future and replaced the banner, the first thing he lost was the hearts of the people behind the mountain. Li Hu started his business with the support of the Han people in Liaodong. Without the support of these Han people, he would definitely be done. Even if he defected to the barbarians, he would be just a dog.

Li Hu also knew the consequences of raising the flag and the consequences of publicly surrendering to the Song Dynasty, so he kept dragging it down. His real idea was to become a vassal state of the Song Dynasty after Daibei and establish a kingdom of the Liaodong Han people. This was very, very important for creating a kingly and domineering career in the north. However, Yelu Chun quickly lost Zhongjing, which led to the Jurchens quickly entering Daibei. Therefore, the situation in Daibei suddenly changed, and Li Hu had to make a difficult choice between survival and making achievements.

Not long ago, when Li Hu grabbed the imperial edict and seal of the Han king from Ma Kuo, he was still confident in taking root in Daibei. However, as Yelu Chun was seriously ill and defeated in Dezhou, the Jin army killed Datong City, the Daxia army was invaded by the Yellow River, and the Xijing was about to fall, his confidence was gone, and he had to bow to the people of the Song Dynasty, so he invited Li Gang and Yuwen Xuzhong to the convention hall.

Li Gang had probably been waiting for this moment for a long time, but he finally waited for him today. He took out a lasso without hesitation and trapped Li Hu, the tiger.

Li Hu was worried internally and externally, dying, and was bound to death. If he wanted to break free from the cage, he had to wait patiently for the opportunity.

The three strategies of Li Gang and Yuwen Xuzhong are actually one after another. If the rebel army wants to win a battle now, the rebel army will suffer shocking losses. If the losses are great and the strength is weak, if you want to defend Datong, you have to rely on the people behind the mountain to work together. The back of the mountain is in danger, and Hedong Road will be threatened. If hundreds of thousands of fleeing people behind the mountain rush down, Hedong Road will not be able to bear it. In addition, the enemy army may take over Datong after occupying Datong. Therefore, without waiting for the emperor and the court to issue an order, the officials at all levels of Hedong Road will find a way to let Li Hu block the foreign army for them and retain the people behind the mountain. When the emperor and the court heard that Li Hu's strength was greatly damaged, they would inevitably quickly mobilize troops to go north. In this way, everything was under the control of the Song Dynasty.

The plan is a wonderful plan, but the question is, will Li Hu listen?

Li Hu couldn't help but not listen. The Jurchens and the Daxia people were attacking, and the only ally Khitans had retreated to Yinshan, and Yelu Chun from Yanjing was in danger again. Li Hu's three families had an alliance to fight against the Jurchens to some extent, because Yelu Ma Ge might not be able to reorganize the Liao army, and the Dangxiang people might not be able to form an alliance with the Liao army. On the contrary, the Dangxiang people were very likely to judge the situation and form an alliance with the Jurchens and divide the generations into the north.
