Chapter 79 Cheers of the Khitans

An error occurred while processing s private file

Yelu Ma Ge has now roughly figured out Li Hu's ideas...

Everything Li Hu has done for his great cause of unification. Under the current circumstances, if he wants to unify Zhongtu, he must first destroy the alliance between the Jurchens and the Southeast Song court. When he cannot destroy the alliance between the two sides, the only way is to firmly restrain the Jin army in the north, so that the Southeast Song court will lose support. In this way, the Huli Army can concentrate its main force to cross the river to fight and defeat the Southeast Song court. Li Hu took the Southeast and occupied most of the Middle Earth. Next, as long as he recovered Hebei and Youyan, he can complete the unification of Zhongtu.

In order to firmly restrain the Jin army in the north, Li Hu spent a lot of money to rebuild the Liao Dynasty in the north and south of Yinshan. Once the Khitans restored their country, with the tens of thousands of Khitan troops in Daibei and the support of Li Hu in Zhongtu in military and financial resources, the desert families were not willing to be enemies at all. On the contrary, if they formed an alliance with the Liao Kingdom after the restoration of the country, everyone had equal status and consistent interests. Instead, they could establish good relations with Li Hu in Zhongtu and establish trade with Li Hu in Zhongtu, thereby obtaining a large amount of urgently needed materials. With these materials, the survival and development conditions of the desert families will be greatly improved.

When the Khitans restored their country, the first thing they did was to fight the east, attack the Jin Kingdom, and regain their homeland. The new emperor needed to fight the east to rebuild confidence and glory for the kingdom. If the kingdom wanted to survive and develop, it would have to defeat the Jurchens before Li Hu unified Zhongtu. Otherwise, the future pattern in the north would be a battle between snipes and clams, and the fisherman would benefit, and the fisherman would be Li Hu.

Yelu Ma Ge secretly exclaimed that Li Hu was so powerful that he actually came up with this way to control the development of the situation in the north. His trap is extremely tempting. Not to mention the Khitans, even the deserts must jump in without hesitation. Jumping in is gambling, and there is still hope to achieve the goal. If you don’t jump in, then there is no hope.

Once the Khitans restored their country, the desert fringes had no choice and had to form an alliance with the Khitans. When Li Hu and the Khitans combined, the desert fringes were obviously at a disadvantage, and the interests of alliances were far higher than those of confrontation. If they did the opposite and formed an alliance with the Jurchens, it would become the tool of the Jurchens. The ultimate goal of the Jurchens was to unify the desert, so the Jurchens would only take advantage of the situation to weaken them and annex them, and would not help them survive and develop.

In comparison, Li Hu now has no unity between Middle Earth, let alone coveting the barren and desolate desert. If Li Hu wants to unify Middle Earth, he will defeat the Jurchens. For this reason, he will sincerely form an alliance with the Khitan and the desert, and give them corresponding help to help them survive and develop to fight against the Jurchens. This is a powerful alliance that takes what they need and does not have fierce conflicts in the interests of each other. In the future war, if this alliance defeats the Jurchens, they will both gain amazing benefits.

It is not difficult to imagine that as long as Li Hu helps the Qi and Dan people restore their country and fulfill their promises to the Khitans, Li Hu will be equivalent to confirming his credit to the Desert Bones, which is enough to win the trust and respect of the Desert Bones, and then gain the greatest opportunity in the alliance.

What about the future? With the power of the Khitans, they cannot fight against the Jurchens alone, and the deserted peoples will only take the opportunity to get cheap so as to strengthen themselves and preserve themselves. Li Hu will be careful to maintain the tension in the northern situation and drag the Jurchens into the north. In this way, the battle situation in the north will be in a stalemate, and Li Hu will win the time to unify Zhongtu. By the time he unified Zhongtu, the Khitans and Jurchens will have long been defeated. These two most powerful Fan tribes in the north will become Li Hu's prey and be swallowed by him with his belt and bones.

Yelu Ma Ge was heartbroken, but he had no choice but to do so. On the contrary, he could not. He was not grateful to Li Hu, thanking Li Hu for fulfilling his promise and helping the Khitans rebuild the Great Liao. As for the future, it depends on the Khitans themselves. If the Khitans united and defeated the Jurchens before Li Hu unified Zhongtu and regained their homes, then the situation in the north would be controlled by the Khitans, and Li Hu could only continue to maintain a covenant with the northern foreigners, vigorously develop the strength of Zhongtu, and Xutu's great cause of unification between China and foreign countries.

Li Hu explained in detail his strategy for the Eastern Expedition. He was very hasty at first, and this explanation was also sorting out and perfecting his entire northern strategy.

Li Hu's plan for the Eastern Expedition was based on three conditions: the Khitan restored the country, and Yelu Dashi returned to establish a major alliance with the northern foreign countries.

The restoration of the Khitan country is actually the general trend. Li Hu just adapts to the situation and transforms the potential huge harm to himself into favorable conditions. If Li Hu continues to force the system, I believe that it will not take long. Yelu Mage and a group of Khitans will secretly form an alliance with the desert and take advantage of the situation to rebuild the Great Liao. Even the Jurchens will use discord and trick them into helping the Khitans to restore the country as bait, instigate the Khitans to retaliate and deal with Li Hu with heavy blows.

Now Li Hu takes the initiative to help the Khitans restore the country. On the one hand, he has firmly held the Khitans by his side, removing one of the biggest hidden dangers in the northern border, and on the other hand, he can take advantage of the Khitans' eagerness to regain their homes and launch an eastern expedition, and then attract the main force of the Jurchens to the north, creating favorable conditions for the Tiger and Lieutenant Army to the south expedition.

In addition, Li Hu's approach could provide him with great prestige among the northern foreign countries and lay a solid foundation for the next step in establishing the major alliance.

Yelu Dashi's return was mainly to understand the worries of the Xizhubu people. With this condition, we can win the trust of the Xizhubu people, and the Xizhubu people have a decisive influence in the establishment of the major alliance. In addition, Li Hu also had a small selfish intention, which was to make the future expedition to the Western Regions. He did not want Yelu Dashi to rise in the Western Regions and hinder the dream of Middle-earth to conquer the Western Regions.

Yelu Mage was worried that there would be difficulties in establishing the major alliance, so he asked Li Hu what the price would be. As a result, Li Hu was very generous and let the Khitan restore the country. The Khitan restored the country, and there was basically no doubt about the return of Yelu Dashi. Secondly, it was also a crucial point. The northern foreigners could establish a major alliance with the Khitans as the center.

After the demise of the Great Liao Dynasty, the people of Zhubu wanted to take advantage of the situation to rise, but because of the conflicts between the internal tribes and the turning against the external allies, the Jurchens took advantage of the situation to enter and almost defeated them with the enemy of Wugu. If it weren't for Wanyan Aguda's sudden death, the national policy of Huanglong Mansion had been changed, and the Jurchens would have been very likely to conquer the desert.

In the past two years, the Desert Bodies have also been reflecting that they are absolutely unwilling to submit to any powerful mansion, whether it is the Jurchens or the Khitans, but the situation is getting worse and worse. At this time, the Khitans restored their country, raised the banner of the Great Liao again, and rebuilt the alliance, which just solved the long-term situation of the dispersion of the Desert Bodies. They can gather under the banner of the Great Liao and targeted the Jurchens unanimously. The Khitans were not able to do so. The Desert Bodies helped the Khitans to beat the Jurchens, causing the two powerful vassals to beat the two strong vassals to lose their heads, which would have benefited the survival and development of the Desert Bodies without any harm. Of course, the Khitans can form an alliance with Li Hu of the Middle Earth and then gain trade exchanges between the Middle Earth. This is the most anticipated thing for the Desert Bodies.

Li Hu's northern strategy won the cheers of the Khitans.

When Li Hu told Chang'an this letter of advice, Yelu Ma Ge also informed the news to the Khitan King's Mansion through fast horses. When the Khitans heard the news, they all cheered and excited.

In mid-June, Li Hu arrived at the Khitan Palace, Xiao Delid, Xiao Temo took thousands of Khitans out of the city to greet him. The cheers of the Khitans were deafening and shocking.

Luo Qinghan, Tieying, Wu Xiong and other groups of tiger generals also came to greet each other. They were all surprised to see this scene. The Khitans' desire to restore the country was so intense that it was shocking. If Li Hu had not offered to help the Khitans restore the country at this moment, it would probably not take long before the Khitans themselves would have to rebuild the Liao Dynasty.

That night, Li Hu officially announced at the banquet of the Khitan Palace, in front of the officials of the Khitan Palace, the leader of the Khitan tribe, and the envoys of the desert, he officially announced that he would fulfill his promise, help the Khitan people restore the country and rebuild the great Liao Kingdom.

Late at night, Li Hu summoned Luo Qinghan, Tieying, Wu Xiong, Ma Liang and others in the tent of the commander, and explained in detail his northern strategy and the reason for the Khitans to restore the country immediately. Although Luo Qinghan and others had received letters from Li Hu before, they still had many doubts, nothing more than worrying about raising tigers. Now, after listening to Li Hu's explanation, they immediately gained a deeper understanding of the northern strategy.

In the second day, Yang Pu, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, couldn't wait to come to see Li Hu.

Yang Pu is from Bohai. He was once a close confidant of Wanyan Aguda. Now he is trusted by Wu Qimai and is still on the verge of the power center of Huanglong Mansion. When he heard that Li Hu wanted to help the Khitans restore the country, he was extremely shocked. With his understanding of the situation, he could certainly guess the real purpose of Li Hu to help the Khitans restore the country.

Li Hu summoned him, and after a few greetings between the two sides, he went straight to the point.

Li Hu proposed several conditions for peace talks. First, cut off contacts with the rebels in the southeast; second, return to Hebei and Shandong, with Baigou as the boundary between the two countries; third, compensate for the losses in war; fourth, release the captured Khitan princes, the royal family and the ministers who refused to surrender; fifth, return Shangjing to the Khitans and let the Khitans return home.

Yang Pu sneered at it and refused to agree at all. Instead, he threatened Li Hu. If you help the Khitans restore the country, you will definitely suffer the consequences.
