It was the third time that Cha Ge met Li Hu. He had a good impression of Li Hu.)([It is not handsome but handsome, and he has a king's domineering aura in his might. He is generous, speaks generously, and has sharp words to the point. When talking with him, you can feel the strong confidence of this king, which makes people involuntarily infected by his confidence. However, Cha Ge did not become confident because of this. On the contrary, he felt a strong crisis.

After a few greetings between the two sides, Li Hu went straight to the point and asked Brother Cha to carefully consider whether to return the Tiande Army immediately.

Brother Cha didn't want to beat Li Hu around the bush and asked directly: "I gave you the Tiande Army. Have you given the attack and ensure peace with us forever?"

"Of course." Li Hu always had righteousness and righteousness when he lied, "As long as you give me the Tiande Army, we will immediately make an alliance. If you don't hit me, I won't hit you, we will be brothers for generations."

"Is that true?" asked Brother Cha, "Do you mean your Hu Lie Mansion or the Great Song Dynasty?"

"Of course it's Hu Lie Mansion." Li Hu looked disdainful, "The Song Dynasty will definitely fight you. The Song Dynasty has recaptured Youyan and no longer has the concerns of fighting on two fronts. It can concentrate all its forces to attack Heshuo. How could they give up the Western Expedition? But without my cooperation, it would be difficult for them to conquer Helan Mountain."

Brother Cha felt relieved and smiled. He was waiting for this sentence.

What the people of Xixia fear most is that the Song Dynasty and Li Hu jointly attacked. If Li Hu promised not to attack Xixia, then Xixia would not have to fight on two fronts. They were confident that they could block the Song army. However, can Li Hu trust his promise? Li Hu fought from Liaodong to Liaoxi, and from Liaoxi to Daibei. His goal was to survive and to capture a piece of territory. Judging from the current situation, if Li Hu wanted to develop in the north, it was far from enough to occupy one Daibei. He had to expand his territory, and the northwest was obviously his best choice.

Li Hu definitely did not dare to fight the Song Dynasty. It was an obvious example that he conquered Yanjing and gave up Yanjing. He did not dare to anger the Song Dynasty. He needed to rely on the assistance of the Song Dynasty to develop first in the north. Li Hu did not dare to fight the Jin Kingdom.

The strength of the Jin Kingdom was obviously much higher, and now he needed to form an alliance with the Jin Kingdom to fight against the Song Dynasty, so as not to be swallowed by the Song Dynasty. Li Hu's survival strategy in Daibei was the same as the survival strategy of Xixia in the past, connecting Jin to resist Song, joining Song to contain Jin, and seeking survival in the cracks. Li Hu could not go north to conquer the desert, which was too difficult for him. Moreover, the desert was the target of the Jin Kingdom. Going north to fight the desert is equivalent to competing for territory with the Jin Kingdom, and he could not do such a thing. Therefore, Li Hu could only fight the Western Xia.

The goal of the Jin Kingdom was to conquer the desert and unify the north, so Li Hu was just in the Jin people's mind when he fought against Xixia. You fight first, both sides were injured, and he would benefit from the fisherman. The Song Dynasty recovered Yan Yun and its strength increased greatly. Bianjing would of course regain the western border. Starting from this goal, the Song Dynasty would form an alliance with the Jin Kingdom and win over Li Hu so that it could defeat Xixia as soon as possible. Therefore, the world's general trend also forced Li Hu to fight Xixia.

However, Li Hu's risk of fighting Xixia is too high. It is a big bet.

If the Xixia country was destroyed, the Song Dynasty would fight Li Hu next. This is a foreseeable place. The Song Dynasty would never allow Li Hu, a vassal state. If the Xixia defended its own territory, Li Hu would inevitably lose his troops and generals. The Song Dynasty would still fight him and regain Daibei. The Jin Kingdom would also fight him and occupy Daibei. If the Xixia people gave up Helan Mountain and retreated to Hexi, insisted on it in the Qilian Mountain area to ensure half of their own country. Then Li Hu would fall into a hard battle. The continuous war would drag down the Hulie Mansion. In the end, the Song Dynasty and the Jurchens would not fight. Li Hu would fall out.

In the eyes of the Xixia people, Li Hu must make a choice. Should he start this big bet? It is not easy for Li Hu to be today. Now he has territory, wealth and strength. Does he still have the determination to burn his boats? The Xixia people negotiated with Li Hu and delayed slowly. They just wanted to find out how determined Li Hu was to expedition the west.

Now it is clear that Li Hu is not determined to fight the West. He is afraid of the Song Dynasty and is unwilling to be a land dog in the Song Dynasty. He also does not want to accept the fate of a dead rabbit and a dead dog.

Brother Cha pondered for a long time and said, "From the current situation in the north, my Daxia and your Hulie Mansion have survival crises. We have common enemies. We kill each other and can only afford our enemies. So we should form an alliance and join forces to fight the enemy. But our strength is weak. Passive defense has no future."

Li Hu nodded with a smile and asked Brother Cha to continue.

"The Great Song Dynasty attacked us, and even if the Tiger King did not take advantage of the situation, it would be difficult for us to defend it, because the current situation in the northwest is different." In order to convince Li Hu, Cha Ge revealed some secrets of the Western Xia, such as the Western Xia's strategy of joining Liao to resist the Song Dynasty. "The defeat of the Great Liao led to us losing powerful allies and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that were used to restrain the Song army. The situation of the Great Xia became very difficult. The Great Song Dynasty has strong national strength, and they can consume us and drag us down with the continuous attack. With the national strength of the Great Xia, it is impossible to fight for a long time. If the Great Xia is defeated, how long can your Huliu Mansion last?"

"What's your winning strategy?" Li Hu remained calm and deliberately pretended to be very interested.

"If Hu Lie's Mansion goes south to attack Hedong and threatens Bianjing, Da Song

Shaanxi dispatched troops to rescue, and in this way, the danger of Daxia will be resolved by itself. "Cha Ge, if the Song Dynasty wants to fight Datong, our Daxia army will take the initiative to attack Shaanxi to resolve the danger of Datong."

"I am surrounded by Wei and saved Zhao, and it's a good plan." Li Hu smiled, "But if I go south to attack Hedong, Dasong and I will turn against each other. Wouldn't my situation be even more dangerous? Compared to your Dashao, my strength is very weak. In anger, if the Song Dynasty decides to solve me first, then go out of Hedong and Yanjing, and attack them from both directions, I will be dead."

"We are allies and brothers." Cha Ge said solemnly, "If you are attacked by the Song Dynasty, we will try our best to rescue you. If you lose your lips and teeth, you will fall down and I, Daxia, will be in danger. Everyone knows this principle."

Li Hu pretended to be pondering and didn't say anything.

Cha Ge instigated his tongue and analyzed the situation in detail for Li Hu to predict the future. The Li family of Daxia was once a vassal state of the Song Dynasty in the past, and had to resist due to the pressure from the Song Dynasty. Li had a personal experience of this, so he said it very well and was very convincing.

Li Hu listened quietly. There is only one way to survive in Hulie Mansion, that is, to develop strength. The reason why Xixia is in a difficult situation is that it is not strong enough. In the past 85 years, although it has been in a squad with the Song and Liao countries, it has been suppressed by the Song and Liao countries and has never had a chance of development. If Hulie Mansion does not have the determination to fight the northwest, it will be like Xixia in the future and will not be able to escape the fate of defeat. Since the ultimate fate is defeat, it is better to take a gamble. If you win, you will be able to survive in a desperate situation.

The only way for Xixia to get rid of the fate of defeat is to find allies. The distance and close attack cannot solve the problem, so she had to take the risk to form an alliance with Li Hu. Li Hu felt the eagerness of the Xixia people to enter into an alliance in Brother Cha's words, so he decided to blackmail them hard and recover all the losses of Xixia attacking Datong.

"I understand this principle," Li Hu said, "But how do I believe you? In order to capture Daibei, Daxia attacked my Datong three times. Now you see that the Song Dynasty has recaptured Youyan and plans to launch a Western Expedition with me. You immediately change your course and come to tell me that you want to form an alliance and be brothers. Is this possible? Even if I am willing to form an alliance, what about my subordinates? If they betray me and surrender to the Song Dynasty for this reason, what should I do?"

Brother Cha understood as soon as he heard this. Li Hu took advantage of the situation to rob the Tiande Army, but also blackmailed him from Xingqing Mansion.

"As long as the Tiger King is determined to form an alliance, everything else is easy to discuss." Cha Ge asked: "Does the Tiger King have such a determination?"

Li Hu nodded, "If you give me the Tiande Army, we can send envoys to discuss alliances."

"No, let's discuss the alliance first." Brother Cha refused to give in. "After the alliance was negotiated, I will give you Tiande Army."

"Then let's talk now."

Li Hu had no sincerity at all. He just deceived Brother Cha and blackmailed him, so soon the two sides drafted a principled covenant.

After Cha Ge returned to the camp with the alliance, he urgently reported to Xingqing Prefecture and asked Xingqing Prefecture to immediately send envoys to Bianjing to tell Bianjing about Li Hu's private alliance with Daxia, and to alienate the relationship between Bianjing and Li Hu. After Bianjing heard the news, he was worried that Li Hu's tail would not be lost and might temporarily put aside the Western Expedition and resolve Li Hu first. As long as Bianjing was determined to fight Li Hu, Li Hu would inevitably break with Bianjing and establish a solid alliance with Xixia to save himself, so that the crisis of Xixia could be effectively alleviated.

June, Bianjing.

Xiao Gan's head was sent to Bianjing, which means that the situation in Youyan was gradually improving. The emperor was very happy about this and appointed Guo Yaoshi as the junior tutor of the prosecutor to commend him. The emperor was also very worried while being happy. Li Hu's affairs had not been resolved yet, and another Guo Yaoshi came out. Youyan's problem may become more and more troublesome in the future.

The problem of Youyan is not actually getting more and more troublesome, but it is already very troublesome. Zhang Jue from Pingzhou Road was fighting with the Jin army. He asked Yanshan Prefecture several times for help, hoping that the Song Dynasty would send troops to drive the Jin army out of Yu Pass to ensure the safety of Youyan. However, the Emperor of Jin Dynasty wrote a letter asking the Song Dynasty to abide by the alliance and not accept Zhang Jue, which made the emperor embarrassed. The emperor was in a dilemma, and the order for reinforcements was delayed, which led to the possibility of losing Pingzhou Road again.

The Prime Minister Wang tried his best to advise the emperor to ignore the Jin Kingdom and immediately send troops to reinforce. If you turn against each other, you will turn against each other. What's the big deal? Could the Song Dynasty still not defeat a small wild country?

Zheng Juzhong of the Privy Council and Zhang Bangchang both opposed it, believing that it would be better not to turn against each other for the time being. First, the Song Dynasty wanted to fight the west, and Youyan wanted to ensure stability. Second, the Jurchens followed the alliance and returned Yanjing to the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty tore up the alliance and seized the Pingzhou Road. This was a bit inappropriate, so they suggested that the emperor ask Yanshan Prefecture to secretly provide assistance to Zhang Jue and help Zhang Jue defend Pingzhou Road.

Zheng Juzhong and Zhang Bangchang said that they would go to the west as soon as possible, but in fact, the two used various methods to block the west.
