On the first day of the New Year, Hesha City, Xingzhou, Hebei.

Under the continuous attacks of the Jin army, the Song army retreated step by step. Shahe City was the last city in Xingzhou. If this city was lost, the entire Xingzhou was lost, and the Jin army was only more than 100 miles away from the important city in Hebei.

That afternoon, Li Gang arrived at Shahe City and summoned Yue Fei and other commanders of the army to discuss defensive affairs.

Li Gang stood in front of the map and explained the current situation in Hebei to everyone.

"The Jin army divided into two groups, one by one, and advanced from Zhaozhou and directly killed; the other by besieging Yao Gu in Shenzhou, and at the same time crossed the Hulu River and advanced towards Jizhou and Daming Prefecture."

"Our army also divided into two groups, one with Handan as the center, set up defenses in Cizhou and Prefecture to block the Jin army; the other side went north from Daming Prefecture to launch a counterattack towards Jizhou to rescue Yao Gu."

Li Gang looked at Yue and others standing beside him and continued, "You can see that the intention of the Jin people is very obvious. The Western Route Army launched an attack on the Yellow River defense line to restrain our army and force me to be unable to meet with Zhe Keqiu and rescue Yao Gu, thus giving his Eastern Route Army more time to encircle and annihilate Yao Gu."

"Zhe Keqiu has only more than 10,000 people, and the troops are divided into two groups, one by one, approaching Hulu River from the direction of Xindu, Jizhou, and the other by the direction of Wuyi to Hulu River. Among them, the left side of Zhe Keqiu troops was to attract the main force of the Jin army and to protect the Wang troops from the right side from breaking into Shenzhou. However, this is a paper talk about military affairs on Bianjing, and in fact it is impossible to achieve the purpose of rescue. On the contrary, this division of troops and rescue violates the taboo of military strategists, and Zhe Keqiu and Wang are very likely to defeat the Jin army on the east side."

Yue Fei and others looked heavy and showed off.

Zhe Cun felt as if he had been hurt for many years of combat experience. Not only did Yao Gu fail to survive in the deep state, but even Zhe Keqiuhe King could not escape the disaster of defeat.

"Is there any news about Bianjing?" Yue Fei asked in a hoarse voice.

"Today is the day when the emperor personally seizes the land." Li Dao. "If nothing unexpected happens, the emperor has already left the capital with his army."

There was a silence in the house. No one was happy. Everyone was disappointed with Bianjing. The so-called emperor's personal expedition was just a scam. It was just a hope to use this method to inspire the morale of the frontline soldiers. If the emperor had the determination to defeat the enemy, the most urgent task was not to personally expedition. Instead, it was to send money, grain and weapons to the Hebei battlefield. Reward and reward the Hebei rebel army. For several months, the main anti-Jin force on the northern battlefield was the Hebei rebel army. But Bianjing had no reward for them. He was even so stingy that he didn't even say comforting words.

"No accident?" Lin Chong sneered and asked, "If something happened, is the emperor still in the capital? Are he still discussing peace with Jin Gou?" The secret peace talks between the imperial court and the Jin Kingdom had long leaked the frequent exchanges between the two countries on the battlefield. Of course, senior generals like Lin Chong knew it clearly. But now they have to hide from the subordinates. Once it spreads, it will definitely be a fatal blow to morale.

"Where is Luoyang?" Yue Fei made a gesture to Lin Chong, indicating that he should not say such unfair words too much. It hurts both harmony and morale. "What is the news about the King of Han? Is the emperor going to the battlefield in Hebei in person?"

This sentence immediately made the people in the room feel energetic. Even Murong Xiahan, who was sitting aside, lowered his head and pretended to sleep, opened his eyes and looked at Li Gang.

"I received a letter from the King of Han in the early morning of this day." Li Gang's face showed a rare smile. "On the 28th day, the King of Han rushed to Bianjing and supervised the emperor to personally lead the army; Deputy General Dong crossed the river and arrived in Huaizhou overnight, met with the King of Khitan, the King of Bohai and the resentful army, and led his army to the battlefield in Hebei. Tomorrow, Deputy General Luo of Longde Prefecture received the order from the King of Han, and he would lead his army to cross the Taihang Mountains and to Handan."

"The Tiger King is finally here..." A cheer suddenly burst out from the house.

Murong Xia Han rushed out of the room like a flying fish, raised his arms and shouted at the dozens of generals standing in the yard, "The Tiger King is here, Shuai Dong is here, Shuai Luo is here, and the main force of the Tiger Lie Army is here."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they were ecstatic and shouted at the top of their throats, "Tiger King, Tiger King..."

Cheers soared into the sky and quickly spread to the streets and alleys... Soon, news that the Tiger King and the main force of the Tiger Lieutenant Army rushed to the Hebei battlefield spread throughout Shahe City. Tens of thousands of soldiers went crazy, the people went crazy, and the Shahe battlefield was immersed in joy and hope.

Murong Xiahan turned around and ran into the room, closed the door, and shouted: "Li Xuanfu, why did you tell us such good news now? Why didn't you say it just now?"

The smile on Li Gang's face gradually dissipated and replaced it with a solemn look. "You must know that for Bian Jing, the King of Han was the biggest threat to the Song Dynasty."

The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became cold. Yue Fei, Zhe Kecun, Lu Junyi... the smile on everyone's face disappeared.

Li Hu's threat to the Song Dynasty was real, especially under the crazy attack of the Jin army, which had occupied the northwest, and the troops were approaching Luoyang, and the sword was aimed directly at Bianjing, which made the Song people even more frightened. The Jin people were enemies, and everyone was not afraid of them, but what about Li Hu?

It may be the enemy standing behind it. If you stab the enemy, you will bear it?

For several months, Li Gang has been in the center of Bianjing. More than 20 days ago, he was even the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He knew everything about Bianjing. Bianjing would rather ced Hebei and rule with the Jin Kingdom than risk the country's defeat and believe in Li Hu's loyalty.

When Li Hu moves, the whole world situation will change. Li Hu led the Hu Lieutenant Army to the Hebei battlefield. No one knows what will happen next, but there is one thing that Bian Jing is very afraid, that is, once Li Hu defeats the Jin army, he will inevitably control Bian Jing with his merits and force.

Is Bianjing willing to let Li Hu control his life and death? Obviously it is impossible. Therefore, when Li Hu arrives in the Hebei battlefield, the situation in Bianjing will be even more unpredictable. This unpredictable situation will affect Li Hu's decision-making, and the future battle situation in Hebei can be said to be confusing.

Li Gang's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one.

"We are loyal to the Great, willing to fight for the Great Song Dynasty, and willing to die for the Great Song Dynasty.

"Li Gang's low and determined voice quietly sounded in the room, "No matter how the King of Han and Bian Jing fight, we only have one goal, that is, to defeat the Jin Lu, guard the country, protect the people, and protect our kingdom."

The excitement just now was gone, but Li Gang's purpose was achieved, the morale of the soldiers was inspired, the people had greater hope, and the minds of these commanders were also clear-headed. Li Hu was not a god. Under the current situation, even if Li Hu brought the main force of the Hu Lie Army to the battlefield in Hebei, Hebei might not be able to defend it. Even if Li Hu defeated the Jin army and won the battle, Hebei might still be ceded to the Jin people by Bianjing. The fact is so cruel. The commander of the first army must face the cruel facts clearly so that he can fight a good battle and win the battle.

"Bianjing dominated the Hebei battlefield, determined our life and death, and determined the life and death of the people of Hebei." Li Gang continued, "In this case, the only way for us to defeat the enemy is to work together. The Tiger and Lie Army and the Northwest Army must fight side by side like brothers, never leaving each other."

Silent, the room is silent.

Li Gang: He said his purpose. He asked Yue Fei to take his army to the battlefield in Jizhou to meet with Zhe Keqiu, Wang, rescue the 50,000 northwest soldiers surrounded in Shenzhou. Li Gang wanted to do his best to preserve the Northwest Army and preserve the military power of the Song Dynasty within his own power.

"Li Xuanfu, we only have so many people." Yue Fei calmly said, pointing to the map, "What should we do when we arrive at the battlefield in Jizhou? Zhe Keqiu and Wang divided their troops north, and failure is inevitable. Even if we rush over, we may not be able to save them, let alone rescue Yao Gu on the north bank of the Hulu River."

"As long as we work hard, even if Yao Gu and the 50,000 soldiers were not rescued, we have a clear conscience." Li Gang said solemnly, "What's more, I firmly believe that you can rescue Zhe Kecun and King."

"What should I do?" Zhe Kecun asked, "We are all rushing to Jizhou, why are you guarding Handan?"

"I also have Zong Ze, the governor of Cizhou, and the 100,000 Hebei rebels led by Zong Ze." Li Gang said, "In addition, in a few days, Luo Qinghan, the right deputy commander of the Northwest Marshal's Office, will arrive with 20,000 Tiger Lieutenant Army. With so many troops, I can definitely defend Handan."

Yue Fei looked solemn and silent. Zhe Kecun and others were also uneasy and dared not agree easily.

As the chief in charge of Hebei's military, Li Gang did have the power to order them to rush to the battlefield in Jizhou, but this order could not be given by Li Gang, but Li Gang reported to Bian Jing, the emperor issued an order, and then conveyed by Li Gang. However, Li Gang did not do this today, and he gave orders on behalf of the emperor without authorization. No matter what the final result of this battle, Li Gang had to bear the responsibility, and the four commanders, commanders Yue Fei, Zhe Kecun, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong and Luo Lan, also had to bear the responsibility.

At present, taking responsibility is nothing. The most terrifying thing is that if it is lost, if the army is defeated or even wiped out in the battlefield of Jizhou, then the problem will be big.

"The Han King's order is to do his best to rescue Yao Gu." Li Gang took out the letter and handed it to Yue Fei. "At present, we not only did not do our best, but on the contrary, we knew that the Northwest Army was in danger, but we turned a blind eye."

After reading Li Hu's letter, Yue Fei handed it to Zhe Kecun. Several head coaches and deputy coaches took turns to read the letter and felt relieved. Since Li Hu decided to rescue Yao Gu with all his might, the main force of the Hu Lie Army would soon enter the battlefield and launch an attack on the Jin army. In this way, the situation in Hebei would be quickly reversed, and the possibility of rescuing Yao Gu was greatly increased.

"Li Xuanfu..." Yue Fei looked at Li Gang, smiled bitterly, "Can we still fight against the Jin army under your command after this battle?"
