When Li Hu returned to Jinzhou, both Ma Kuo, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, and Yang Pu, the envoy of the Jin Dynasty, arrived.

Li Hu first made an appointment with Ma Kuo, and Li Gang accompanied him.

The Emperor of Song Dynasty comforted him in his hand edict, made many promises, and explained the secret alliance between Song and Jin. The emperor's sincere attitude calmed down Li Hu's anger a little, but he believed Wuyan's words more and strengthened his idea of ​​taking Yanjing first.

Taking over Yanjing and occupying Youyan, the rebel army first had the capital to survive and bargained. In this way, we could advance and cross Juyongguan to attack Xijing, ensure that the Song Dynasty recovered its hometown, and retreated and could stick to Youyan and ensure the strength of the vassal states. Li Hu thought for a long time, but finally accepted Wuyan's suggestion, took advantage of the opportunity of the Song, Liao and Jin Kingdom to compete for Liaodong, and quickly rose at any cost. Defeat? Which year was the specific Northern Expedition?

Ma Kuo could not answer because the emperor did not tell him, "The Northwest Army is adjusting its defense zone. It is estimated that His Majesty will order the army to be allocated soon. The east and west routes of Hebei are recruiting troops. This is also the preliminary preparation for the Northern Expedition..."

"What I want is the specific time." Li Hu interrupted Ma Kuo's perfunctory without hesitation. "Your Majesty and your attitude towards the Northern Expedition is really cold. Do you want to fight against the Northern Expedition? Do you want to recover your hometown? Can you not see that the development of the situation in Liaodong far exceeds your expectations?" Li Hu's arrogant attitude made Ma Kuo very unhappy. He also said without hesitation: "Since the Prime Minister is clear about the development of the situation in Liaodong, why do you still violate the imperial edict of Your Majesty? Can you participate in the Song and Jin talks to help the Song Dynasty quickly recover your hometown?"

"You are too self-righteous." Li Hu sneered, shook his head, and his favorability towards Ma Kuo was greatly reduced. "You look down on the French captains and the Jurchens. You don't know how powerful the Jurchens are. Do you think that the Jurchens, like the Khitans, will abide by this covenant? Do you think that the Song Dynasty is an unparalleled dynasty? It's a joke, and it's extremely childish."

Ma Kuo couldn't help it and asked angrily: "Then in the eyes of Zhixiang, the Jurchens are unparalleled? No wonder Zhixiang wanted to marry Wanyan Aguda's daughter, it turned out that he wanted to leave a way out for himself."

Li Hu was furious. He opened his mouth and wanted to curse, but then he held back. His current goal is Yanjing. In order to capture Yanjing, he still needs the cooperation of the Song army and local governments. Now he cannot have a quarrel with the Song Dynasty no matter what.

"I got the news that next month, Wanyan Aguda will lead his army to attack Zhongjing."

Ma Kuo was stunned immediately. Wanyan Aguda wanted to attack Zhongjing? The alliance was not yet agreed. He was going to attack Zhongjing? Then if he conquered Zhongjing, how could he still talk about this alliance? All the previous agreements were to be fucked*? What's more serious is that once the Jin army conquered Zhongjing, they could go to attack Xijing. The Song army restrained the main force of the Liao army on the Hebei border. The Jurchens should be able to capture Xijing. In this way, the Jiuzhou behind the mountain would all fall into the hands of the Jin army. It doesn't matter whether this alliance was discussed or not, because the Jurchens had completely controlled the situation. Even if the Song people took Yanjing, they could only rely on the Jin people's breath.

"The Jurchens are cunning and cunning, and they are just in the open and secretly. The Jurchens took Shangjing in May and then took advantage of the situation to attack Zhongjing. There was no mistake in strategy. The Song Dynasty should not be on the verge of attention at this time, or even fantasize about getting a bargain and forming an alliance with the Jin Kingdom. The situation in Liaodong is developing too fast, and it is dazzling, so the Song Dynasty should give up all distractions, do its best to overcome all difficulties, and launch the Northern Expedition immediately. Otherwise, the best time to recover the homeland will be missed.

Li Gang was also surprised. In desperation, he didn't have time to think too much about the situation, but subconsciously defended the Song Dynasty, "I have explained the country to you, the Song Dynasty's treasury..."

"Don't say it." Li Hu waved his hand hard and stopped Li Gang's defense. "Is the Northwest Army the Song Dynasty the only Northwest Army able to fight? The Northwest Army lost 100,000 in the battle against Xia last year, and now there are about 300,000 people. Half of these 300,000 people need to be used to guard the northwest, so they can only be transferred to a 150,000 army in the northern expedition, and the Taiyuan direction must deploy at least 50,000. In this way, the army you use to fight the northern expedition is only 100,000 Northwest Army, is that true?"

Ma Kuo changed color in shock. Li Gang's eyes were shocked and his mouth was stunned.

"Where is the Hebei Army? The Song Dynasty had 600,000 imperial guards, of which 200,000 were deployed in the northwest, so there were at least 200,000. Tell me, where are the 200,000 imperial guards in Hebei? Why can't they fight? Why did the Song Dynasty travel thousands of miles to dispatch troops from the northwest? Did the Hebei Army disappear out of thin air?"

When Li Hu saw Ma Kuo and Li Gang's expressions, the last trace of doubt finally disappeared. He was suffocated for a moment. He suddenly rushed out of his mind, such as the story of Daddy, the shame of Jingkang, the battle of Tokyo defense, Yue Fei's resistance to the Jin Dynasty... Wuyan's words were actually true. The Song Dynasty was really an empty air, with no money, no army, and only a giant body was left.

"Tell me?" Li Hu opened his eyes angrily, slapped the table, and shouted wildly, "Tell me, where is the army of the Song Dynasty? With the national strength and military strength of the Song Dynasty, a Northern Expedition Army of 200,000 people will be formed and launched the Northern Expedition within three months. What are the difficulties? The emperor is the emperor, he is the king of the world. He said he wanted to attack the Northern Expedition, who dared not listen? If the Northern Expedition was launched in October this year, it was the moment when the Jin army and the Liao army fought fiercely in Zhongjing. With the help of our Liaodong rebel army, the Song army could easily capture Yanjing. Why would he give up such an opportunity in vain?"

The horse raised his head and was speechless. Li Gang was so sad that he could not speak, and closed his eyes in pain.

"Do you think I am willing to participate in the Song-Jin Covenant? Do you think I participated in the Covenant to divide the interests of Liaodong? A joke." Li Hu pointed at his nose and said loudly, "I, Li Hu, have defected to the Song Dynasty. I, Li Hu, have already vowed to be willing to smash the bones of the Song Dynasty. Even if I divide the interests of Liaodong, these interests will be from the Song Dynasty in the future. Do you don't even understand such a simple truth? If I participate in the Covenant and my share of the interests of the Song Dynasty, the interests of the Song Dynasty can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. This is obvious. Are you blind and unable to see?"

"Because of your ignorance, your short-sightedness, and your incompetence, this passive situation has been created, and it has forced me to re-adjust the deployment."

"Do you know why I went to Jinzhou? I just met Xiao Degong, the prime minister of the Northern Prefecture of Liao Kingdom. In order to prevent the Jin army from attacking Zhongjing, I could only join forces with the Liao army to implement the strategy of joining Liao and curbing Jin. This is something I don't want to do. I originally wanted to accumulate strength to cooperate with the Song army's northern expedition and attack Youyan, but once this battle, I would lose my troops and generals. Where can I still have the strength to attack Youyan?"
