On the third day of June, the rain decreased, and Dong Xiaochou commanded the main force of the Han army to slowly advance towards Yuanyangluo and make an attacking posture.

The Jin army was very panicked, and the three Bo Jilie, Wanyan Gao, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Yu, had a fierce dispute over whether to withdraw their troops.

The three people were unwilling to withdraw. The emperor made it clear in the imperial edict that the goal of fighting in Daibei was to unify the north. Now it is 108,000 miles away from the target. Who dares to withdraw? But what should I do if I don’t withdraw? According to Wanyan Gao’s speculation, Li Hu had at least 300,000 troops, while the Jin army had only more than 200,000 troops. The troops of both sides were overturned, and the Jin army was seriously lacking in food and weapons. If this battle was lost, it would probably not be Daibei, but the entire Northeast. Therefore, after repeated consideration, it would be better to withdraw Zhongjing.

Wanyan Yu was defeated and he was in trouble when he went back, so he tried his best to fight again. If he won, he could lose the merits and be punished together. For this reason, he suggested that Zong Wang's army be withdrawn immediately and fight with Li Hu in the decisive battle with Yuanyanglu.\

Wanyan Zonghan did not agree to withdraw from Zhongjing or Fengshengzhou, nor did he want to fight Li Hu in a decisive battle. His plan was to grit his teeth and persevere. He believed that Li Hu did not have the strength to fight the second decisive battle, because the battle of killing Hukou changed the situation in Xijing. The coalition would not last long and would be disbanded due to a fierce conflict of interest. The coalition was disbanded, and the three teams of Song, Liao and Xia were withdrawn. What else did Li Hu use to fight for the decisive battle?

Zonghan is just two words, "Persist." After retreating to Fengshengzhou, he would meet with Wanyan Loushi, and the two armies merged into one, attacking Duanyunling fiercely.

At this moment, Li Gang and Wang Yao led the Jinglei army to Guihua Prefecture and strengthened the city defense. So Tieying, Yelu Dashi and Zhang Gao'er led their troops to withdraw back to the city and defended the city.

Zong Wang dared not fight again. He sued Yuanyangluo's three Bo Jilie. At this moment, should someone be sent to talk to Li Hu? We have a deep relationship with Li Hu, and we are relatives. We can shake hands and make peace and rebuild the alliance. Zong Wang suggested that we give up attacking Xijing for the time being. Instead, we concentrate our efforts and first form an alliance with the desert. We form an alliance with the Xixia people, and at the same time quickly destroy the Khitans to divide and eliminate Li Hu's allies, isolate Li Hu, and then destroy Li Hu.

The three Bo Jilie agreed with Zong Wang's strategy.

Zong Han volunteered to go to Baishuilu in person to negotiate with Li Hu.

Gao Qingyi rushed to Baishuilu first. Zonghan asked him to touch Li Hu's bottom first. The battle was very fierce. Li Hu suffered too much and was furious. He might not be willing to accept peace talks immediately.

Li Hu heard that Gao Qingyi had arrived, but did not see him. Instead, he asked Yuanye to go and meet him and listen to what Gao Qingyi said.

Gao Qingyi dared not be arrogant this time.\ looked very respectful and proposed to rebuild the covenant. According to the original agreement, the territory captured by Li Hu was Li Hu, and the territory captured by the Jurchens was Jin Guo. Both sides did not violate the rivers, and they also provided assistance to each other when necessary. The meaning of rebuilding the covenant was that the two sides shook hands and made peace, and they would divide the generations according to the original agreement.

"You tore up the covenant and attack Xijing, causing our Huliwei Army to suffer significant losses." Yuanye was furious, "Now you have been defeated, change your face immediately and say something about rebuilding the covenant is simply shameless. Get back to me immediately and tell Wanyan Gao that either he will withdraw from Daibei immediately, or we will fight to the death."

"Decisive battle?" Gao Qingyi laughed, "Do you know the consequences of the decisive battle? If you don't know, I can tell you. How many people can you have left after the decisive battle in Yuanyangli? The Xia Kingdom army is on the edge of the Yellow River, staring at it; the Khitans will immediately pull the desert to the south of Yinshan Mountain and then take back Xijing.\ Even if you are powerful, relying on the assistance of the Song people to defend Xijing, you can continue to rely on Li Hu's strength in the future

Be a vassal king? The people of the Song Dynasty will never raise tigers as a disaster. They will take advantage of the situation to eliminate you." Gao Qingyi shook his head and looked disdainful, "Don't think that if you are killing the tiger's mouth and winning a battle, you will be invincible and can defend Xijing. I can tell you without hesitation that if you want to gain a foothold in Xijing, the only way is to maintain the alliance between us and rely on our strength to survive in Daibei. Otherwise, the day we evacuate Daibei will be the time for you to lose."

Yuanye laughed furiously, "You seem to be wrong? We are in the decisive battle of Yuanyanglu, how many troops can the Jurchens retreat to the northeast? We and the Khitans took advantage of the situation to pursue Zhongjing and Shangjing. At the same time, the army of the Song people crossed Yanshan and attacked us in pairs. Can the Jurchens still protect the Northeast? I can also tell you without hesitation that we reached an alliance with the Song, Liao and Xia. Once the Khitans recovered the Northeast with our help, Youyan will return it to the Song Dynasty, and the North will be divided equally with the Xixia."

"Is this possible?" Gao Qingyi was secretly frightened, but his expression sneered, "What do you use to maintain the covenant? Is it possible for you to maintain the solidity of the covenant in a fierce conflict of interest between you?"

"Whether we, Song and Xia, are unwilling to see another powerful opponent appear in the north. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity to split the north, it is precisely the foundation for us and Song and Xia to establish an alliance. In order to preserve the great Liao Dynasty, the Khitans will of course actively join and rebuild the great Liao Dynasty with the help of all parties." Yuanye sneered, "Are you satisfied with this explanation?"

Gao Qingyi was stunned for a long time without saying anything, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

The Jurchens wanted to become the heroic ruler in the north, which was the root cause of the defeat of the tiger's mouth.\The heroic ruler in the north was born again, and in addition to the Khitans' destruction of the country, the Song and Xia countries were bound to be seriously threatened, so the Xia countries sent troops to help, so the Song Dynasty accepted Li Hu without hesitation and provided the greatest assistance. Everything was due to concerns about the future world situation.

Yuanye's words did not mean intimidation. The future situation in the north he predicted was extremely reasonable, which hit the deepest fear in the Jurchens.

Gao Qingyi then returned to his calmness. He pretended to be confident and asked in a deep voice: "Do you think you can win this battle? Let me tell you the truth, the Emperor of the Great Jin is coming from Zhongjing and is going to lead the imperial army in person. Just wait for the emperor and reinforcements to arrive, can you still win this battle?"

"We can definitely win this battle." Yuanye was tit-for-tat and was not showing any weakness. "The emperor of Liao was gathering troops from the desert south of Yinshan; King Li Cha of Xia State of Jin was crossing the Yellow River with his army east; the Song Dynasty had already negotiated peace with Yanjing, and the Grand Tutor Tong Guan was commanding a hundred thousand troops to go to the downfall of Maguan and heading north to Datong.\ Half a month later, we can gather at least forty troops to fight a decisive battle." Yuanye stared at Gao Qingyi and said angrily. "Don't say that your emperor is here, even if the gods in the sky come, you will not win this battle."

There is nothing to talk about when both sides say this, and they parted in a bad mood.

Gao Qingyi rushed back to the army overnight to report to Zong Han.

Zong Han heard that Li Hu refused to discuss peace. He was very depressed. At this moment, Dong Xiaochou's army was only 100 miles away from Yuanyanglu, and only twenty miles away from Zong Han's vanguard army. The atmosphere on the battlefield was very tense and there was a momentum. Zong Han wandered for a long time and decided to come up with a way to save the crisis, otherwise the situation would be gone.

Now both Song and Xia know.\The Liao Kingdom is basically over. Even if it can preserve its destiny, it cannot rebuild its former glory. And the most likely to replace the Khitans and become the mighty ruler in the north, the Jurchens who unified the north were the Jurchens, but the most feared thing between Song and Xia was the unification of the north.

The Song Dynasty has not recovered Youyan so far. Yun Shuo is in the hands of Li Hu again, and Li Hu is a Han captain. It is possible that he will become the second in Shi Jingtang, so the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition has gained nothing. If the Jurchens unified the north at this time, they would definitely repeat the scene of the Song and Liao battle for hegemony more than a hundred years ago. The Song Dynasty would never allow history to repeat, and would never accept the shame of the second Chanyuan Alliance, so the Song Dynasty would try every means to prevent a new overlord from appearing in the north.

The situation in the world today is actually very different from more than a hundred years ago. More than a hundred years ago, the confrontation between the Song, Liao and North and South, and more than a hundred years later, the three kingdoms of Song, Liao and Xia were established as the three kingdoms. When the Great Liao was defeated, the balance between the three kingdoms was broken. At this time, if the Jurchens unified the north and the war broke out in the north, it would not be a powerful collision more than a hundred years ago, but the Song Dynasty had to fight against the two enemies of Jin and Xia at the same time, and fight on both sides. The consequences of fighting on both sides were very terrible, and the Song Dynasty was very likely to be unable to support it. Therefore, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and his close ministers thought of the Northern Expedition, Tong Guan's Pingyan Ce, and today's Northern Expedition.

The ultimate goal of the Northern Expedition was not to regain Yanyun, but to unify China and foreign countries, and to re-incorporate the vast territory of the north into the territory of China. Therefore, the Song Dynasty not only would not allow a new overlord to appear in the north, but on the contrary, it would also take advantage of the situation where the northern foreigners competed for hegemony, to enter the north, dominate the north, and become the overlord of the world.

The Xia Kingdom was in the northwestern border with a small territory and weak national strength. The reason why the country was established was because the Khitans and the Song people fought hard to distinguish in order to compete for the Central Plains. At that time, although the Song and Liao countries had already concluded the Chanyuan alliance for about twenty years, they were both looking for opportunities to attack again.

The Dangxiang people suddenly became independent and split the Song Dynasty, leading the war in the northwest, and pushing the Song Dynasty into the dilemma of combat on both sides. This is something that the Khitans cannot afford.\

Facts have proved that the Khitans helped the Dangxiang people to establish the country, used the Dangxiang people to split the Song Dynasty, and restrained the national policy of the Song Dynasty, which won a hundred years of peace for the Song and Liao countries. The Khitans thought that long-term rest and recuperation could make the national strength powerful and go south to seize the Central Plains again, but things went against their wishes. The Khitans were swallowed by the deep crisis covered by a century of peace, and were beaten by the Jurchens in the Northeast in a short time and were about to destroy the country.

Also in this century, the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia fought for decades. The people of the Western Xia had not achieved many years of peace since the founding of the country. Their national strength has always been relatively weak. They adopted the national policy of joining Liao to resist Song, joining Liao and Song, and survived in a difficult situation of the three kingdoms.

Now this pattern has been broken, the powerful Great Liao has been destroyed, the new northern kingdom has not yet appeared, and the survival of Xixia has experienced a major crisis, but it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

There is no hero in the north, and the Song Dynasty is the dominant one. Xixia cannot find a strong allies. It cannot last for many years under the attack of the Song Dynasty. This is the survival crisis of Xixia. There is no hero in the north, and the northern foreigners compete with the grassland and desert. Xixia has the strength to stand out from the various foreigners and become a new generation of hero in the north, replacing the former Khitan Liao, and forming a north-south confrontation with the Song Dynasty. This is an opportunity for Xixia to show its development.

Under the current circumstances, which path will the Xixia people choose? Of course, they are to meet challenges, seize opportunities, and dominate the north.

From this, it is speculated that the Jin Kingdom wanted to gain a foothold in Daibei, replace the North all, and achieve the goal of unifying the North, and will inevitably be blocked by the joint efforts of the Song, Liao and Xia Kingdom. In other words, the Jin Kingdom does not have the conditions to seize the North at present. Even if Li Hu agreed to peace talks, the Jurchens tried every means to establish an alliance with the Xixia and the desert. However, once the Jurchens fought against Xijing and Daibei, and put on the stance of being the overlord of the northern region, then these families must have to defeat the alliance and cooperate again.

In a word, if everyone is the boss together, they can form an alliance and form a confrontation with the Song Dynasty, but if someone wants to be the boss, then I'm sorry, several bosses join forces to beat you.

This is a dead end, and it is also a very ordinary situation of heroes competing. So, what methods can the Jurchens use to break the dead end and find opportunities?
