Chapter 20 Li Hu's Plan

An error occurred while processing s private files

Li Hu's threat made the Song Dynasty very angry. The emperors and several prime ministers believed that Li Hu was capricious and profit-oriented, and was a greedy and shameless enemy...

When you were in trouble, you took the initiative to surrender to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty accepted you and gave you help. Now that you have survived and healed your wounds, you will turn your back on your face immediately. You are an ungrateful Zhongshan wolf. If you want to participate in the Song and Jin Alliance talks and share the future interests of Liaodong with Song and Jin. The implication is to be on an equal footing with the Emperor of Song. Are you still a distinction between a monarch and a subject? Aren't you betrayal?

However, considering the situation in Liaodong and the imminent Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty had to control Li Hu as much as possible in his own hands, otherwise it would be a big trouble. For this reason, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty discussed with the prime ministers for a long time and decided to agree to Li Hu's request.

Since Li Hu is greedy, then satisfy him. Greedy people generally have ambitions, so they must beware of raising tigers in the future. This is also a dilemma for the Song Dynasty. However, before the Song Dynasty recovered Yan Yun, the tiger must be raised. When the Song Dynasty regained its hometown, it will slowly find a way. If it can be tamed, it will be tamed, and if it cannot be tamed, it will be killed. There are thousands of ways to kill people, and the way to kill Li Hu is actually very simple. It is nothing more than killing people with a knife. If the Jurchens want to rise in the north, Li Hu is a stumbling block. Sooner or later, this pair of tigers and wolves will have a life-and-death battle. At that time, as long as the Song Dynasty pushes with the situation, Li Hu will be wiped out.

The emperor ordered Ma Kuo to go to Runzhou again to stabilize Li Hu first and never let him get together with the Khitans. He ordered Zhao Liangsi to rush to Huanglong Mansion for the third time.

Before this, Zhao Liangsi had already traveled twice for the matter of the alliance. The focus of the debate between the two sides was Xijing. The Jurchens wanted to fight Xijing, but the Song Dynasty was determined not to.

The Song Dynasty had its own considerations. As for the troops that the Song Dynasty could call at present, it was difficult to attack Yanjing and Xijing at the same time. However, once Xijing was taken to the Jurchens, the ownership of Jiuzhou behind the mountain would inevitably be in trouble. The Jurchens were Dafan in Liaodong, which was very powerful. After defeating the Khitans, they would never be satisfied with occupying the deserts and forests in the north. They would covet the Central Plains like the northern strongholds of all dynasties and wait for an opportunity to go south, so Xijing could never be stolen by the Jurchens.

The Song Dynasty had no strength and did not want the Jurchens to occupy it, so they tried to restrain the Jurchens through the alliance, thus giving the Song army time to attack Xijing. According to the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition Plan, the Song army first took Yanjing, then left Juyongguan, and carried out front and back attacks with the army set out from Taiyuan. This attack strategy took a long time, and the Jurchens were all warriors at once, and they could reach Xijing at any time, so the alliance had to agree that Xijing would be attacked by the Song army. For this reason, the Song Dynasty swallowed his anger and transferred the annual monies that had been lost to the Liao Kingdom to the Jin Kingdom.

The Jurchens were not short-sighted people. Of course, they knew the importance of Xijing. Taking Xijing. The territory of the Jurchens was within the Great Wall. If they lost Xijing, they were blocked from the Great Wall. Whether they could take Xijing was directly related to the future development of the Jin Dynasty, so they refused to give in and firmly demanded to attack Xijing. If it really didn't work, then they agreed that whoever reached Xijing first and whoever captured Xijing first would belong to whom Xijing would be.

Of course, the Song Dynasty quit. It was reasonable and tried every means to expand its territory to the Great Wall to ensure the security of the northern border.

This time, Zhao Liangsi San went to Huanglong Mansion to discuss the issue of belonging to Xijing with the Jurchens. In addition, he tried whether the Jurchens were considering including Li Hu in the covenant. After all, he controlled the Liaoxi Road and Pingzhou Road, and one of these two places belonged to Zhongjing Road and the other belonged to Nanjing Road. It has a direct relationship with the future territory of the Song Dynasty and Jin Kingdom, and excluding him from the covenant may cause unnecessary trouble.

Under the scorching sun, the Yima gallops on the land of Youyan.

The Emperor of Liao Kingdom soon sent the reply to Runzhou. Joined forces to attack Jin. The Daliao gave the rebel army 50,000 yuan a month of land, money and food. If the war is delayed, the Daliao will continue to supply food, grass and supplies.

Li Huma ordered the transfer of the Second Army, Fourth Army, Fifth Army, Bohai Army, Resentful Army, Feiyun Army, a total of twenty-five generals rushed to Jinzhou to transport the army from both water and land at the same time.

Luo Qinghan and Zhang Guanyu led the Wu Yong Army, the Shenlong Army, the Yan Wang Army, the Thunder Army, and the Liaoxing Army stationed in Pingzhou Road.

At the same time, Xiao Degong, the Prime Minister of the Northern Prefecture of the Great Liao Dynasty, Xiao Gan, the commander of the East, Yelu Yu, the commander of the Northeast, and Yelu Dashi, the commander of the South, also crossed the Daling River. He left Qianzhou and set up camp in a secluded mountain forest on the northern foot of Songling.

June 23rd. Both sides met.

These people have fought with each other on the battlefield, but have heard of each other for a long time but have never met each other. At this moment, the atmosphere is very subtle.

Yelu Dashi introduced Xiao Degong to Li Hu, Yelu Yuji and Xiao Gan. When Li Hu stretched out his big hand to Xiao Gan, Xiao Gan looked embarrassed. The shame of the battle at Tribulus Mountain was too deep. The deep hatred made him unable to control himself. When he held his hands together, Li Hu could even feel his anger.

Li Hu also introduced the general of the rebel army to the Liao people. Dong Xiaochou turned out to be Xiao Degong's direct subordinate. This time he met, it was a different experience. Dong Xiaochou asked Yelu Chun and Guo Yaoshi. Guo Yaoshi is now the commander of the Changsheng Army, and the Changsheng Army was adapted from the original resentful army. When Hou Gu and Gao Baolong were introduced, several Liao army commanders were surprised. Hou Gu was a famous thief, while Gao Baolong was a great rebel in the Bohai Sea. After these people disappeared, they all came to Li Hu's command, which shows how fast Li Hu's strength grew. Dashi immediately explained the attack strategy.

The Liao army was determined to recover Shangjing, so its main army was on the front line of Gaozhou and Fengzhou in the northern part of Zhongjing, while the southeast line of Zhongjing was a restraining battlefield.

On the southeastern line of Zhongjing, Xiao Gan's east army attacked Chengzhou and Targas Mountain, while Li Hu's southeast army accompanied Xiao Gan to attack Chengzhou, while the other attacked Xianzhou from the direction of Jinzhou, threatening Tokyo.

After Yelu Dashi finished speaking, Xiao Degong immediately asked: "General General, what do you think of this plan?"

Li Hu smiled and didn't say anything.

"We got a news from Tokyo." Dong Xiaohou said, "Wanyan Aguda has been ready for personal expedition and has stationed heavy troops in Shangjing. It is estimated that in the late July, he will attack Zhongjing."

Xiao Degong, Yu Ji and others looked at each other, their faces were shocked. Wanyan Aguda personally fought and stationed heavy troops in Shangjing. Then, this counterattack would definitely be a bloody battle, and the outcome was unpredictable.

Dong Xiaochou stood up, walked to the front of the map, and pointed to the Huanghe line, "You went north to counterattack with your main force. Just happened to meet the main force of the Jin army. To be honest, it is impossible for you to retake Shangjing."

Yelu Yu frowned when he caught his thick eyebrows and asked, "The news is accurate?"

"Accurate." Li Hu said, "As far as we know, the Jurchens know everything about your counterattack strategy. If you attack with your main force, you will definitely fall into the Jurchen trap, and you will definitely lose this battle."

Xiao Degong looked panicked, and after pondering for a while, he said slowly: "So, are we going to change the attack strategy?"

Li Hu nodded, "From the current situation, the goal of counterattacking Shangjing cannot be achieved. Our best result is to block the Jin army from Zhongjing Road, so this battle is mainly defense and attack as a supplement."

Dong Xiaochou explained in detail the defensive strategies formulated by the Rebels.

Wanyan Aguda's target is Zhongjing, and he wants to launch an attack. If the Liao army does not launch a counterattack within his scheduled attack time, the Jin army must take the initiative to move south.

At this moment, the Liao army defended Fengzhou and Gaozhou with a group of troops, firmly restraining the main force of the Jin army. At the same time, the Liao army gathered its main force and attacked Chengzhou and Tarras Mountain, and made an attack on Tokyo. This is a strategy to "surround Wei and save Zhao". Wanyan Aguda must be unmoved. He will draw reinforcements from Tokyo and defend Tarras Mountain.

After Tokyo reinforcements arrived at the line of Targasso Mountain, the rebels took full advantage of their main force and gathered about 70,000 troops. At the same time, they launched an attack on Tokyo from both water and land.

In this way, the Jin army on the line of Tristris Mountain would retreat and quickly return to Tokyo, while the Liao army could take the opportunity to cross Tristris Mountain and follow and chase after them.

When the Liao army entered Tokyo Road, it could attack Yizhou, Longhua line, and threaten the main flank of the Jin army on the way. For safety reasons, Wanyan Agu must retreat to Beijing.

"If our army can conquer Tokyo in the shortest time, then we can surround the Jin army on the Liaohe line and quickly reverse the situation in Liaodong." Dong Xiaochou pointed to the Liaohe map, stopped for a moment, and said, "If our army cannot conquer Tokyo, we can only do our best to try our best to severely damage the Jin army, recover Weizhou, Xianzhou, Yizhou and other prefectures and counties near Lushan, so as to rebuild the defense line of Tsuki Mountain and directly threaten Tokyo." Shi and Xiao Gan looked at each other and understood Li Hu's thoughts. The reason why he was willing to join forces to attack Jin this time was not to help the Liao army recover Shangjing, but to ask the Liao army to help him attack Tokyo. After taking Tokyo, Li Hu was lewd, he was appointed as the King of Han, established the Han Palace, and established the vassal state. From then on, he became a major overlord in Liaodong.

So, is it true or false that he said that Wanyan Aguda would lead his army to fight in July? If it is true, Li Hu's strategy is impeccable, and it is a killing of two birds with one stone for him, and for the Liao Kingdom, it is also a matter of unsuccessful pursuit. After conquering Tokyo, even if Li Hu is not slaughtered, Wanyan Aguda will fight with him. The scene of the Jurchens and the Bohai people fighting each other will be staged in Tokyo again, and the Liao Kingdom will therefore have the opportunity to counterattack and reverse the current unfavorable situation in one fell swoop.

If his news was fake and he deliberately wanted to deceive the Liao people to help him attack Tokyo, then the Liao people could not agree. For the Liao people, defending Zhongjing was the top priority. If Zhongjing was lost again, the great Liao Kingdom would basically fall into a state of collapse.

"In ten days, I will give you a reply." Xiao Degong said, "In addition, can your troops on the Daling River line be reduced by half? If you want to win this battle, we must trust each other very much, otherwise..."
