From Yanjing to the Hebei front line to supervise the battle, it shows that Huanglongfu is already dissatisfied with Hebei. The Jin army must try to break the deadlock of confrontation, but in the face of the tenacious defense of the Song army, if the Jin army insists on a frontal attack, the results will be effective, so they must think of other solutions.

The second mutiny occurred in Bianjing, and the Song Dynasty was split. The news would sooner or later reach the Jin army. This would obviously enhance the confidence of the Jurchens to destroy the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the Song army must win a victory on the Hebei battlefield as soon as possible, otherwise the situation of the battle will become increasingly unfavorable to the Song Dynasty.

The emperor and Li Hu summoned several commanders overnight to discuss countermeasures. Dong Xiaochou, Luo Qinghan, Yue Fei, Yang Keshi, Liu, Zong Ze, Wang Yuan and others repeatedly deduced the situation, and finally unanimously determined that if the Jin army wanted to break the deadlock in the Hebei battlefield, they would definitely attack Hedong, thus forcing the Song army to mobilize troops from the Hebei battlefield to support, so that they could win the advantage of military strength in the Hebei battlefield, and at the same time they would hit the morale and confidence of the Song army, and then seize Handan and Daming Prefecture and take all of Hebei.

Li Hu's previous countermeasures were relatively conservative. He wanted to ensure that Hebei and fight the Jin army in Hebei. However, the strategy of the Jin army has obviously changed now. If Li Hu continued to defend passively, he would inevitably fall into a passive position and the situation would become more serious. It is very likely that Hedong and Hebei would be lost.

"We must ensure Hedong and must defend Datong and Taiyuan." Li Hu thought for a long time and made a decision, "We would rather give up Bianjing and Central Plains than Datong and Taiyuan."

There is no way. If the Song Dynasty had not been divided, Bian Jing and Central Plains were lost, they could still retreat to Jiangnan. But now the Song Dynasty was split, and the old emperor and Tong Guan fled to the southeast first, then the emperor and the court could only retreat to Guanluo when Taiyuan and Hedong were lost, Guanluo would be directly threatened by the Jin army. The Chang'an court would not only revive the Song Dynasty, but even survival would be a problem.

"The Grand Marshal means to give up Hebei, give up Bianjing and Zhongyuan, right?" Zong Ze's white eyebrows were raised and his tone was extremely unkind.

Li Hu Chi Bu. Today is the first time he saw Zong Ze. Zong Ze was a loyal minister who devoted himself to the Song Dynasty in his memory. When his father told a story, he was very excited when he mentioned Zong Ze, especially when Zong Ze died with his eyes open, he shouted "Cross the river! Cross the river! Cross the river!!" before he died, he often burst into tears. In fact, even if there was no such story, even if there was no such tragic figure in his memory, Zong Ze, who was gray-haired, stood up in times of crisis in the country and fought bloody battles in front of the two armies, was greatly admired by Li Hu.

"I will never give up until the last moment." Li Hu said respectfully, "The current situation is very unfavorable to us. I originally wanted to win a victory in Hebei, and we evacuate Bianjing and stabilize the northwest to win time, but the real people are too ambitious and too greedy. They are not satisfied with capturing a small Hebei. They want to occupy the entire Middle Earth. Therefore, for us, the most important thing is not to stick to Hebei for a longer time, but to guard Taiyuan and Luoyang with heavy troops, defend Guanzhong, and lay the foundation for the three-point division of the world first. No matter when and where, survival is the first, and only when the problem of survival is solved can we talk about development."

Li Hu's reason was that his goal was to dominate the Middle Land, and sometimes he had to give up, but Zong Ze and a group of people from the Northwest were subjects of the Song Dynasty. They had deep feelings for this land and Bian Jing. They would rather die than give up their beloved land and capital, so the dispute began.

The emperor stood on the side of Zong Ze, Yang Keshi and other great Song civil and military officials. Li Hu and his subordinates of Dihulie were of course in a group. They firmly disagreed with consuming limited troops on this meaningless defensive battle.

At this time, Yue Fei stood up and walked to the edge of the map. He pointed to the Taihang Mountains on the map and said, "If the Jin army wants to attack Taiyuan, there are only three roads to go. The northernmost is the Feihu Path. The well path in the middle is the well path. The southernmost part is the caliber. The Feihu Path is now stationed by Li Shuai, the Thunder Army. The well path is guarded by Song Shuai, the Liangshan Army. The caliber is also in our hands. No matter which road the Jin army takes, we can stick to it for a period of time. The Grand Marshal has this buffer time and is enough to draw reinforcements from the Hebei battlefield. So I think there is no need to think too badly. There is no need to rush to transfer troops from the Hebei battlefield to aid."

Li Hu smiled and shook his head. He could not only consider the Hebei battlefield, the Central Plains and Bianjing. He had to consider the future. He wanted to take the lead in the three-way local pattern. If he had been passively responding again and again, the three-way local pattern could not be broken for a long time. It would be a serious disaster for Zhongtu. There was no hope of unity at all.

"This battle strategy is to stick to Taiyuan and Luoyang, ensure the safety of Hedong and Guanluo, and stop the Jin army in Hebei and east of Luoyang at all costs."

Li Hu was determined and decided.

On the morning of the 23rd, Li Hu made specific defense arrangements in the coach's tent.

"On the 24th, Yang Weizhong, Yao Pingzhong, Zhao Ming, and Liu Guangguo led 30,000 Northwest Army to Dan to meet Wang Yuan, take the pathway, and return from Taiyuan to Shaanxi Fourth Route, guarding Hengshan and Tiandu Mountain line." Li Hu looked at Wang Yuan and Yang

He said solemnly, "We all know that Dangxiang people will definitely come back day and night this winter, so that you must guard the northwest border for me."

"What does the Grand Marshal have to explain?" Wang Yuan asked.

Li Hu thought for a moment, "No matter what, the Dangxiang people cannot approach Guanzhong and threaten Chang'an. In addition, if conditions permit, you must try every means to strengthen the walls and clear the country. In this way, even if the Dangxiang people enter the border, they will gain nothing, let alone plunder the population. Last year, we robbed a large amount of population and livestock from the Dangxiang people, and gave the Dangxiang people a heavy blow. The Dangxiang people lacked population, and the national strength would be restored slowly and their force would be limited. In the future, we will be able to defeat them earlier, recover Helan Mountain and Qilian Mountain, and expand their territory to the distant Western Regions."

Wang Yuan felt that Li Hu had something hidden in his words. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "The Grand Marshal intends to attack Dangxiangren first?"

"Is this too early to say now?" Li Hu laughed, "After the world is divided, we are surrounded by enemies, but the Dangxiang people pose the greatest threat to us, because it is behind us and is attacking us every moment. The Song Dynasty has reached this point today, which is directly related to the Song-Xia War for more than 80 years. The Northwest War continued year after year, while the court spent money year after year. As a result, the Song Dynasty's finances were insufficient to make ends meet and gradually fell into crisis. If the Dangxiang people had not split, if it weren't for the Northwest War for more than 80 years, today's Song Dynasty might have been successfully unified by the Chinese and foreign countries."

The emperor lowered his head and sighed sadly. Liu, Zongze, Yang Keshi and other civil and military ministers were also sad. Dangxiang people were indeed a nightmare for more than a hundred years of the Song Dynasty, and this nightmare turned into a nightmare, a nightmare of destruction of the country and the family.

"The pattern of three-part division in the world cannot be maintained. The longer the division takes place, the greater the impact on Middle Earth. Therefore, we must quickly break this pattern of staggering and start the great cause of unifying the world. However, if we do not eliminate the Dangxiang people and do not stabilize the northwest, we will fall into the dilemma of fighting on two lines or even multiple lines, and we will not have the strength to create the great cause of unification."

Li Hu looked at the generals of the tent and continued, "Everyone must understand this ideal. This is also an important reason why we must preserve our strength and seize the initiative in the three-part pattern of the world. If the Western Xia is not destroyed, the Song Dynasty will not have a day of revival, and the world will not be unified."

Li Hu didn't want to waste more talk on this topic, so he immediately turned to the topic.

"On the 20th day, Yue Fei led the Hu Lie Army to withdraw from Guantao and Wei County, and allowed the Jin army to approach the city of Daming."

Yue Fei, Junyi and others looked at Li Hu in surprise, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

"Master, do you tell us to withdraw from Daming?" Lin Chong was anxious, stood up suddenly, and asked loudly, "We have all withdrawn, what should we do if Daming Mansion?"

"After you withdraw from the periphery of Daming Mansion, you will immediately go to the city." Li Hu said expressionlessly, "The responsibility for garrisoning of Daming Mansion is subject to Yang Shuai and the Northwest Army."

Yang Keshi, Liu Guangshi, Yang Zhi and others all looked up, their faces showing confusion.

"You have all withdrawn the 40,000 Northwest Army into Daming City and hold on to the city." Li Hu sneered, "How long will it take for the Jin army to attack a city that 40,000 people to defend?"

"How long should we stick to it?" Yang Keshi was not sure. He wanted to know what Li Hu wanted to stick to the city.

"You are not allowed to withdraw without my orders.

"Li Hu said, "Whether we can win a battle in the Hebei battlefield depends on whether you can defend Daming City." Then he turned to look at Dong Xiaochou, "On the 24th, Dong Shuai led his army to evacuate Daming Mansion and rushed to."

"Shi Shuai Dong is also in Handan?" Yang Keshi's expression was wrong, "Master, are you planning to withdraw all the Tiger Lieutenant Army back to Hedong?"

"There is such a possibility." Li Hu said, "If the Jin army attacked Taiyuan with its main force, I would definitely withdraw the main force back to Hedong. On the contrary, if the Jin army attacked Taiyuan just to lure me to transfer troops back to aid, then I would station troops and hold on to the Jin army's way southward. If I defended, there was no guarantee on the flanks of the Jin army that attacked Daming Prefecture, they would not dare to let go of the attack. At the same time, they could cooperate with Yang Shuai to defend Daming City."

Everyone understood that Li Hu was a compromise strategy. He gathered the main force of the Tiger Lieutenant Army to Dan, which not only blocked the Jin army's way southward to the Yellow River, but also supported Taiyuan and Daming Mansion at any time. Li Hu put the battlefield of the decisive battle.

"I just received the news from Taiyuan." Li Hu said, "The military and civilians in Zhending City are still persisting. The Jin army has not conquered the city yet. This is a miracle. They have won precious time for the entire Hebei battlefield."

"I don't know how long they can last." Liu thought of Li Miao, Liu Yi, and the tenacious military and civilians in the city, and felt a pain in his heart. "They have been looking forward to us, but we actually watched them die under the sword of the golden thief."
