How will the Northwest strategy change?

The Song Dynasty seized Tiandu Mountain and Hengshan in the direction of Shaanxi. It had already gained strategic advantages. Now the Song Dynasty has won the Jiuzhou in the back of the mountain. As long as the Song Dynasty takes it to Yunnei and replace the north, the Song Dynasty will form a surround against the Western Xia from both the east and west directions. The Northwest strategy will inevitably change from defense to offense.

The question is that the Privy Council is in charge of the Northwest Army, and the generals of the Northwest Army from Shaanxi and Hedong. Will their opinions be unified? It is definitely not. The main war faction of the Song Dynasty took ten years from planning to formulating the Pacification of Yan Strike to organizing the Northern Expedition. From this, we can imagine changing the Northwest strategy, and changing from defense to offensive. How difficult is this.

Zhe Keqiu clearly stated in the letter that the Northwest strategy must change from defense to offense.

It's very simple. After the Song Dynasty recovered Yanyun, it immediately met the conditions to expand its territory to the north. If we continue to adhere to "defending the inside and emptiness outside" and adhere to the defensive strategy, it is obviously not conducive to the development of the Song Dynasty. Offense means war. War means interests. Fighting for interests will inevitably lead to a struggle for power. The struggle of power determines who will take charge of the court. This is the key to whether the national policy can be changed.

Whoever grasped the power of the Song Dynasty and controlled the principles of the Song Dynasty would have mastered the lifeblood of the Song Dynasty and the national policies of the Song Dynasty. Whoever grasped the national policies of the Song Dynasty would have meant that he had the power to kill and seize and the inexhaustible wealth.

Only Li Hu could do this to change the national policy of the Song Dynasty. He was the first vassal state in the actual sense of the Song Dynasty. For a family of generals, it would definitely not be able to do this. At best, it could only exert some limited influence. However, once the national policy is changed, the northwest strategy will change from defense to offense. The status of the family of generals will be greatly improved.

Defending the border and opening the border are two different things. Opening up the territory. That kind of merit and glory is equivalent to the founding fathers. The general family will gain greater benefits as a result. It is even possible to build a garrison family on the border that is equivalent to a vassal state.

This is the wealth that the Zhe family really needs.

Li Hu admired and was amazed. This is the local spirit that a family of generals with a history of more than 400 years should have.

If this letter is sent to Bianjing, the emperor will be moved. From the perspective of the minister, the Zhe family can be said to be loyal and unyielding. They are devoted to the Song Dynasty; from the perspective of the family, the Zhe family exchanges loyalty and blood for glory and wealth. From then on, the Zhe family's descendants can enjoy the rich heritage left by their ancestors with peace of mind.

If Li Hu agrees with the Zhe family's opinion on the Northwest strategy, and forms an alliance with the Zhe family and other Northwest Town and Shou family that share the same views, and work together to change the Northwest strategy. Then the interests of both parties will be integrated. This is a long-term community of interests. If this huge goal is put in front of you, the immediate dispute over interests is not worth mentioning. Both parties can make a step back and take their own needs.

Li Hu handed the letter to Yue Fei.

After reading the document, Yue Fei had a rough understanding of the military affairs in the northwest and the generals. He knew nothing about these things. He had never been in contact with them and had no chance to contact them. This document happened to open a window for him, allowing him to see a completely different world. He opened his eyes wide and curiously looked at this brand new world. He relied on his knowledge and ideas to recognize the good and evil of this world. The good and evil in this world are completely different from the good and evil in the grass-roots world. Yue Fei needs time to understand them.

Yue Fei finished reading the letter again. Then he became confused.

In the document, the Zhe family is like a local tyrant in the northwest. It can even affect the victory or defeat of the Battle of Datong. But in this letter, he saw a loyal family of generals and families who were loyal to the Song Dynasty. Which one is the real Zhe family?

Li Hu lowered his head and thought. He had to think about it carefully. The pit of the Zhe family was too big. He had to think about whether he would fall in. If he fell in and couldn't crawl out, it would be better to draw a clear line with the Zhe family now, so as not to be eaten by this old fairy who had been over 400 years old. The strong dragon could not beat the local snake. Li Hu now knows how powerful the local snake is. This is not a local snake. This is simply a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"Who is behind the Zhe family?" Li Hu thought about it more and more complicated. The Zhe family used this battle to decide the life and death of his life and death to suddenly pull himself into the court. This was incredible. Not only did he not have any preparation at all, he was even in Xijing and was about to fight with Bianjing. Zhiniang thief. My life is really hard.

Of course, Yuan Ye didn't know who was behind the Zhe family. He looked at Li Hu worriedly, and Li Hu looked confused.

"We are going to send people to Bianjing." Yuanye suddenly said. "We know nothing about Bianjing. This is too dangerous."

Li Hu turned his head and looked at Yuanye, shook his head and smiled bitterly. The rebel army was full of Han people from Liaodong, Han people from Yanyun, or Han people from Fan people. It was almost the same to go back to Bianjing to be Yi. Want to be a secret agent? Go dreaming.

"The people of Liangshan are from the Bianjing area." Yuanye said. "After the war, I will invite Liangshan people to Datong immediately. We will let Liangshan people go to Bianjing to find out the news."

"We can do this. And it's also news from the center." Wu Siming didn't know what Zhe Keqiu wrote in his letter. But it can be seen from the expressions of Li Hu and Yuan Ye. Zhe Keqiu made a request that made Li Hu scared.

Li Hu and Yuan Ye looked at Wu Siming at the same time, and their eyes were shocked. Do people in Liangshan still have such great abilities?

Wu Siming smiled and said proudly: "We have a brother named Yan Qing. It turns out that he is a child from Lu Junyi. He is very handsome and has excellent martial arts. He is excellent in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs and essays. One year, he went to Bianjing to do business with Brother Lu. He accidentally met the talented man Zhou Bang. Zhou Bang took him to meet Li Shishi, the first genius in Bianjing. This Li Shishi is the forbidden corpse of the emperor today. The entire city of Bianjing knows it. I heard that Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others are all guests on the ground. Most ministers don't know about the matter of the central government. But Li Shishi knows it."

Li Shishi? Li Hu immediately remembered it. His father told him about this fair woman. In "Water Margin", Yan Qing did have some friendship with Li Shishi. It was just that Yan Qing took Song Jiang to find Li Shishi. He intended to ask her to plead for peace as soon as possible. In fact, this is not the case at all.

"After we were surrounded and intercepted by the government troops in Jingdong, Brother Song was going to take us north to cross the Yellow River to Taihang Mountain. But Yan Qing got news from Li Shishi that the government troops were waiting by the Yellow River. Brother Song had no choice but to take us south." Wu Siming sighed. "Actually, it seems that going south is wrong. We should have forced the Yellow River to Taihang Mountain at the beginning."

This is good news. Very good news. Li Hu and Yuan Ye were both very happy. Li Hu felt that it was the right decision to take in Liangshan Army. With Yan Qing's secret chess, something happened to Bian Jing will soon spread to Datong. For the rebel army, it is equivalent to having a thousand miles of eyes and ears.

"You go to Ningwu Pass in person." Li Hu said to Yuanye after thinking for a while. "It may be a bit inconvenient for Li Gang to go. What do you think?"

"Okay. I'll travel day and night. I can arrive at Ningwu Pass within two or three days." Yuanye understood what Li Hu meant and said immediately. "What else do you have to explain besides the Liangshan Army?"

"I want an army. More army." Li Hu said. "You tell Zhe Keqiu. The 30,000 army will be dropped from the drop in the bucket. It will not solve the problem. Please think of a solution. Then transfer 20,000 troops to me. I want at least 50,000 people."

Wu Siming's eyes were shocked. It can be seen from Li Hu's tone that he was at a disadvantage in the Battle of Datong. However, this person is a myth in the north. Wu Siming believes that Li Hu will not be defeated. He believes that God will not exterminate the people of Liangshan.

Yuanye frowned and whispered: "General General. Zhe Keqiu is just the governor of the prefecture. How powerful does he have? Even the Hedong General Secretary has no right to mobilize troops."

Li Hu pointed to the letter in Yue Fei's hand. "Tell Zhe Keqiu. I have already negotiated with Tong Guan. After the Battle of Datong, I will send troops to Youyan. I can seize Yanjing in front of Tong Guan. Use Yanjing City to threaten Bianjing and force Bianjing to change its northwest strategy."

Yuan Ye smiled. He understood Li Hu's personality. This tiger king could deceive him by opening his mouth. He only cared about the present and how to care about the future? "He really has no right to mobilize troops."

"He can definitely come up with a solution." Li Hu said confidently.

"What about the others?"

"Promise Zhe Kequn." Li Hu smiled. "The Zhe family has a long-term vision and looks at the future. They will not make excessive demands. As long as you feel it is acceptable, then form an alliance with him."

Yuanye no longer said anything. Then he wrote a letter to Zhe Keqiu in the name of Li Hu. Li Hu personally wrote a letter to Song Jiang and Wu Yong, Lu Junyi and Lin Chong, asking them to obey Zhe Keqiu's arrangements and arrive at Datong as soon as possible.

That night, Yuanye and Wu Siming rushed to Ningwu Pass and Chuan Fort's right wing and attacked Dongtougou.

The Tiger Lie Second Army Abaddon, the Sixth Army Tan Hongyi, the Black Mountain Army, and the Thunder Army bravely blocked the attack under the command of Dong Xiaochou. However, the Jin army had a clear advantage in the territory. After three hours of attack, they took down three beacon towers. Zong Pan personally led an army to approach the flank of Dongtougou.

At this moment, the Feiyun Army arrived. Chen Bao, the left deputy general of the Feiyun Army, led four generals to quickly enter the battlefield and confront Zong Pan head-on.

Half an hour later, Nangong Bo, the deputy commander of Feiyun Army, arrived with two generals.

When Zong Han heard that the Feiyun Army had arrived, he was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered Zong Pan to withdraw from the battlefield and stop the attack.

That night, Wanyan Gao, Zong Han and Zong Wang discussed it. He decided that Zong Wang, Zong Bi, Wanyan Loushi, and Yelu Nuge led 70,000 troops to Yehuling to Yehuling. He met the 20,000 troops from Yehuling. He attacked Fengshengzhou with 90,000 troops.

Originally, Zong Han was also counting on Yelu Nuge's starting point for fraudulent surrender. But now the battle situation is developing in a direction that is beneficial to the Jin army. At this moment, Li Hu couldn't believe Yelu Nuge no matter what. So the trick of fraudulent surrender was immediately abandoned.

"The Pu family slave said that killing the tiger's mouth is too difficult to fight. Leave 30,000 troops to restrain it. Take 40,000 main forces to Zhenchuan Fort." Wanyan Gao said. "In this way, our total force on the front line of Zhenchuan Fort has not been reduced much. We can still maintain a strong attack and firmly hold the main force of the Han army to ensure that you successfully conquer Fengshengzhou." Wanyan Gao looked at Zong Wang and solemnly instructed. "Today is twenty. You must arrive at Yehu Ridge on the 24th and launch an attack. The attack must be fierce and fast. The Han army is caught off guard. As long as you win Fengshengzhou, we will win this battle."
