Yang Pu hurriedly left Daibei and rushed to Zhongjing to meet Wanyan Zonghan, and at the same time reported to Huanglong Mansion as quickly as possible. At present, Wanyan Zonghan is responsible for the military affairs of the northwest and southwest, that is, the desert and Daibei affairs, all of which are handled by Zonghan.

Since the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties last year, the Jin Dynasty lost Daibei and the Central Plains, the power structure of Huanglongfu changed. A group of Jurchen tribe leaders led by Zong Han, who had a conservative political concept, gained certain decision-making power. In particular, Zong Han's accurate judgment of the complex political and military situation made his reputation soar. A series of military defeats by the Jin army forced the highest decision-making level of Huanglongfu to reflect. In this case, Zong Han once again came up with the "north first, then south" strategy of unification between China and foreign countries.

In the past year, Zong Han, with his personal reputation and power, and the recognition of this strategy by Wanyan Aguda in the past, has given the support of most powerful officials in Huanglongfu. Radical forces such as Wu Qimai, Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonggan have to make concessions, readjust the national policy, and take advantage of the opportunity of Li Hu to launch a Western Expedition to launch an attack on Daibei. However, the Jurchens overestimated the strength of the Dangxiang people and did not correctly choose the most appropriate attack time, resulting in the failure of the attack.

Zong Han quickly adjusted his strategy and sent envoys to the desert, trying to form a alliance with the desert and form a clamp-shaped encirclement of the Middle Earth. However, after Li Hu arrived in Daibei and announced the help of the Khitans to restore the country, this strategy failed immediately. The repeated and hesitant Jurchens on the entire northern strategy ultimately made them lose the best opportunity to conquer the desert, and thus paid a huge price.

In early July, after careful consideration, Zong Han decided to rush to Daibei in person to discuss alliances with Li Hu about peace.

In Daibei, Li Hu summoned every messenger of the French tribe, analyzed the general trend of the world and the situation in the north in detail with them, impressed them with the simplest and practical survival and development strategies, and told them the simplest truth that the Jurchens were their closest neighbors, a powerful, ambitious and evil wolf who was willing to eat. The Chinese were thousands of miles away from the desert, and they were divided internally. There was no possibility of unification in the short term, and there was no threat to the desert.

The biggest enemy of the desert is the Jurchens. China's biggest enemy is also the Jurchens. Both sides form alliances and help each other, and can survive and develop together.

At present, the most prominent contradiction is not the north and south. The contradiction is not the contradiction between the northern and southern China, but the contradiction between the prairie and the mountain and wilderness people from the Heishan Baishui. The desert and the Khitans both came from the prairie and had a high degree of mutual acceptance, so the Khitans were able to conquer the desert very quickly back then, but the prairie on the prairie and the prairie in the mountains and forests were very different in all aspects. If the two wanted to conquer each other, it would be very difficult, just like the northern and prairie wanted to conquer the southern Middle Land, the mutual acceptance was too low.

Li Hu successfully convinced the desert and the envoys of the tribes expressed their willingness to form an alliance with China and Turkey. The two sides agreed that an alliance meeting would be held in Heishui River in September.

In early July, Li Hu received a letter from Zonghan and was very happy to learn that Zonghan was rushing to the North to discuss peace. He now hopes that the Jurchens will take the initiative to propose peace, so that he can take the initiative and force Zonghan to return Yelu Xinilie, so that the Khitans can rebuild the Great Liao.

Yelu Mage followed Li Hu's advice and sent envoys to the Western Regions. Yemi established a city and invited Yelu Dashi to lead his army back to Daibei to build the Daliao together.

In early July, Tokyo stayed in Wang Yuan, commander of the Central Plains Tiger Lieutenant Army, and the Luoyang Grand Commander Ying Qin returned to Chang'an under the order.

Dong Xiaochou, Liu Yanqing, and Zhe Keqiu summoned three people in the Western Prefecture.

Dong Xiaochou briefly explained the current situation.

The northwest is basically stable and the situation is getting better and better. However, the situation in northern Xinjiang has undergone major changes. "The general has written a letter and he has made a decision to help the Khitans restore the country as soon as possible."

This sentence surprised Wang Yuan, Yue Fei and Ying Qin.

"What's going on? Why did the Grand Marshal want the Khitans to restore the country? Is Yelu Ma Ge going to rebel?" Ying Qin couldn't think of any reason Li Hu had to help the Khitans rebuild the Liao Kingdom.

"The purpose of the Grand Marshal is to launch the southern expedition as soon as possible." Dong Xiaochou was not surprised to see the three of them being surprised. When they heard Li Hu make this decision, they were also quite surprised. Later, this plan arrived at the convention hall, which caused a fierce debate. To this day, there are still a group of ministers in the court that cannot be understood, and they scolded Li Hu one by one. Some people frequently reported impeachment for this. Several ministers with honest temperament even ran directly to the Han Palace and begged Princess Luo Sinan to stop Li Hu.

"This matter has gradually spread. The doctors and assistants of the Imperial College, the Imperial College, and the assistants were filled with righteous indignation and encouraged the Confucian scholars to write letters to advise. The princess and the prime ministers were very distressed about this." Zhe Keqiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I recalled you 100,000 times in order to launch an Eastern Expedition as soon as possible and shift the attention of the government and the people to the war of unification, so that the matter could be suppressed as soon as possible, so as not to cause uncontrollable consequences."

"What is the reason for the Grand Marshal? What is the direct relationship between letting the Khitans restore the country and our southern expedition?" Wang Yuan asked.

"This matter sounds complicated and is full of uncertain variables." Liu Yanqing sighed lightly, and the wrinkles on his forehead were squeezed together, making him look older and haggard. Liu Yanqing explained in detail, which involved many origins and hatreds between the northern proletariats, but in the final analysis, Li Hu's purpose was to restore the Khitans and make the Khitans form an alliance with the northern proletariats, thereby preventing the Jurchens from using the power of the northern proletariats to threaten the northern boundaries of China. If the Jurchens lose the possibility of alliance with the northern proletariats, then they are at a disadvantage in the situation in the north, so that the Khitans and the northern proletariats can launch an attack and then attract the main force of the Jurchens to the north. The Jurchens' strength was not enough to support the battles on both sides, so they could only watch the Tiger Lie Army crossing the river southward and sweep across the southeast.

"One thing is certain, when the Jurchens knew that we helped the Khitans restore the country and formed an alliance with the desert to form an siege against the Jin Kingdom, the Jurchens must fight back, and there are only two methods of counterattack. One is to destroy our alliance with the desert, and the other is to negotiate peace with us to prevent the Khitans from restoring the country." Dong Xiaochou pushed the map on the case table to Yue Fei and others. "Now you know very well that the true purpose of all the deployments made by the Grand Marshal in the northern border is only one, giving us time to win us the southern expedition, but for various reasons, we are not ready for the southern expedition, especially the military supplies, which is even more helpless."

"The Privy Council's plan is to launch an attack on Shandong in the near future, on the one hand, make a comprehensive attack on the Jin Kingdom to cooperate with the Grand Marshal's deployment in the northern border, and on the other hand, deceive the Jurchens and the rebellion in the southeast, so that they can make wrong judgments on the situation and cover our true intention to launch the southern expedition immediately."

Yue Fei frowned and asked anxiously: "Have you decided on the specific time for Nanzheng?"

"This depends on whether the expected results can be achieved in the Central Plains battlefield." Zhe Keqiu said, "First, we must conquer Shandong and cut off the connection between the Jurchens and the Southeast rebels; secondly, we must conquer the Jianghuai army, form a two-way attack with the Jingxiang army, and strive to pacify the Southeast in one battle."

"So, in the next six months, we will conquer Shandong and Jianghuai two places in a row." Wang Yuan's face was solemn, his tone was hesitant, and hesitant, obviously without confidence.

"How many troops are the Privy Council planning to invest in the Central Plains battlefield?"

"Twenty-hundred thousand." Liu Yanqing said, "Before the attack on Jianghuai, the Privy Council would draw 50,000 to 60,000 troops from Chang'an, northwest, Daibei and Hedong to rush to the Central Plains. Considering that the army would still have to guard the Yellow River defense line with heavy troops after the southern expedition, it would be necessary to transfer another 50,000 troops to the Central Plains before the southern expedition."

Wang Yuan, Yue Fei and Ying Qin looked at each other and felt great pressure from each other.

The total force of the Tiger Lie Army was only more than 400,000. Although many Western Xia troops were captured during the Western Expedition, most of them were used to supplement the losses of each army. Some were affiliated with the Dangxiang Dawang Mansion. The surrendered Xia army in Hexi was reorganized into the Siberian Tiger Lie Army, and there was no additional military system. At present, the Tiger Lie Army had 33 armies, the Tiger Lie Army had ten armies, the Tiger Guard Army and the Capital Garage Army, 20,000 garrisons, including Sima Zhubanzhi in front of the Palace, the Hall Front Army and the Guards and the Guards, with a total force of 460,000. The Privy Council mobilized 250,000 troops to enter the Central Plains, which was equivalent to sending more than half of the troops into the Southern Expedition. It can be seen that the court's determination to pacify the southeast.

"At this moment, the Grand Marshal is in the northern border. Will our sudden attack on Shandong affect the overall deployment of the Grand Marshal?" Ying Qin asked worriedly.

"By our guess, the Grand Marshal must try to negotiate peace with the Jin Kingdom before the Khitans had not restored their country and formed an alliance with the desert. " Dong Xiaohou thought for a moment and said, "The Jurchens were very rampant. Although we defeated them last year, Wanyan Zongwang dug up the Yellow River embankment at the last moment and gave us a heavy blow, resulting in our failure to take the opportunity to expand the results of the war and recover Hebei and Shandong. The Jurchens occupied Hebei and Shandong, which was equivalent to getting inexhaustible wealth, so they were very rampant. Only a few months later

, and took the opportunity of our Western Expedition to launch a ** and try to retake Daibei. With the Jurchens' mentality, will they take the initiative to make peace? Before the northern fandoms formed an alliance and formed a substantial threat to them, the focus of the Jurchens' attack was still in Middle-earth. They would never give up the strategy of joining forces to attack us in the southeast. Therefore, when the Jurchens focused on the north, they would give them a hard blow, so that they could lose sight of the other and had to bow their heads to seek peace, so that the commander could win the opportunity in peace negotiations."
