Although Wanyan Gao and Liu Yanzong made detailed analysis and prediction of the future situation... they also made some guesses about the purpose of Li Hu's request for peace talks, the reality is that reinforcements from all over Liaodong are heading south, and Huanglongfu has not yet made a final decision on the rapid changes in the war situation in China-Turkey. Wanyan Gao dared not contact Li Hu at this moment, so as not to let Huanglongfu seize the handle.

However, Wanyan Gao accepted Liu Yanzong's suggestion and replied to Li Hu a letter. In the letter, Wanyan Gao made a very obscure hint of willingness to make peace, but the premise was that the peace talks between the two sides must be based on the change of the situation in the entire north.

After Li Hu received the letter, he read it several times, then invited Zhu Xia, Liu Jingyuan and Wang An to the military account and handed the letter to the three of them. After reading it one after another, they looked at each other, wondering what Li Hu had in the battle situation in Youyan, whether to win by force or negotiate peace to achieve his goal?

Zhu Xia first spoke, analyzing many military aspects such as the current battlefield situation and the number of troops on both sides. He finally concluded that the Yanjing War involves the entire northern situation, and the northern war situation will definitely undergo tremendous changes in the next one to two months. "We have already sent a request to the Khitans. If nothing unexpected happens, two months later, Yelu Longqing's army will attack Shangjing and form a force of attacking the north and south with us. However, the Jurchens will never give up Yanjing easily, and Yelu Longqing will not sincerely help us seize Youyan. Therefore, in my judgment, the Yanjing War is protracted and cannot end in the short term."

When Zhu Xia said this, his eyes turned to Liu Jingyuan and Wang An. These two people understood and immediately analyzed the supply of money, grain and weapons. If the Yanjing War continues and is dragged until autumn or even winter, then money, grain and weapons will definitely be unable to support it.

"When can it last?" Li Hu asked.

"Still until June at most," Liu Jingyuan said with a wry smile. "The situation in the southeast has deteriorated rapidly. I heard that the remnants of the white lotus in Jiangnan have come down the mountain to cause disaster. Many people expect that a rebellion in Jiangnan will occur, so..."

"We have regained the Southeast and obtained the Southeast's wealth. Can't we maintain a decisive battle like this?" Li Hu asked coldly.

Liu Jingyuan dared not answer. Wang An hesitated for a moment and said with courage: "Master, if the southeast is stable, of course, it can, but now the southeast is becoming increasingly chaotic..."

Li Hu shook his hand and signaled Wang An not to say anything. "In other words, I must end the Northern Expedition in June." Li Hu looked at the three of them and finally set his eyes on Zhu Xia's face. Zhu Xia shook his head. Judging from the current situation, it would be difficult for the Tiger Lieutenant Army to conquer Yanjing and recover Yanshan Prefecture in two months.

"Wanyan Gao has no intention of negotiating, and will not give up Yanjing." Zhu Xia pointed to the letter on the table and said, "Even if Wanyan Gao himself had the idea of ​​peace talks for various reasons, he would not dare to negotiate with us without authorization before Huanglong Mansion made a peace talks."

Zhu Xia's meaning is very clear. Li Hu's idea of ​​winning Yanjing through peace talks is at least not likely to succeed at present.

Li Hu nodded slightly and said to Liu Jingyuan and Wang An: "What suggestions do you have?"

The suggestions of these two people were limited to trying to raise more money and food. However, Liu Jingyuan repeatedly considered it and asked Li Hu to change his strategy as soon as possible to stabilize the domestic environment. At least he should take heavy measures in the Southeast and resolutely suppress the rebellion, so as to ensure the steady recovery of the Southeast economy.

Li Hu thought for a long time and asked, "How about the 50,000 army?"

Liu Jingyuan and Wang An were relieved. "Fifty thousand troops are enough."

Li Hu finally took action. This is a signal, and it is the beginning of Li Hu's containment of the storm and stabilization of the domestic situation. Perhaps after the end of the Yanjing War, Li Hu will end the storm's rampage on Middle-earth.

"The letter told Yue Shuai and ask him to come to the headquarters quickly."

The next day, Yue Fei returned to Dashuai Camp from the Yanjing front line.

Li Hu told him in detail about his idea of ​​the northern war situation.

At present, the Tiger Lieutenant Army is going to block the Jin army in Tanzhou and Jizhou, firmly block the Jin army, surround the Jin army in Yanjing, and form a stalemate on the battlefield of Yanjing. At the same time, Li Hu had already urgently asked Yelu Longqing, Yelu Mage and Yelu Dashi to take this opportunity to launch an attack on Shangjing. Once the Khitan army began to attack, the Jin army was immediately in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides. At that time, Huanglong Mansion had only one way, that is, to give up Yanjing and exchange Yanjing for an alliance with Zhongtu, so as to concentrate its efforts to defeat the Khitans.

Yue Fei frowned slightly and asked immediately: "What should I do if Pingzhou Road? If the Jin army continues to occupy Pingzhou Road, then one of the Jurchens' hands will be put into Middle Earth, which will pose a major threat to our Middle Earth."

"We must believe in our strength and the power of Middle-earth. As long as we stabilize Middle-earth and restore national strength, then even Huanglong Mansion will not be safe." Li Hu said confidently, "The problem of Pingzhou Road is not a problem at all. For us, the most urgent problem at present is to form a three-legged situation in the north. We drag the Jurchens and Khitans into the quagmire of war, thereby winning time for Middle-earth stability and recovery. Only in this way can we win in the future war, and continue to expand our territory while ensuring the security of Middle-earth, and recreate the heroic spirit of the Han and Tang Dynasties."

Yue Fei was infected by Li Hu's heroic spirit and his mind suddenly opened up. The small Pingzhou Road immediately became insignificant in his eyes.

"The Khitans are trustworthy? The Grand Marshal helped them rebuild the Great Liao, and the Khitans' reward was secretly colluding with the Jurchens. Although the Khitans' treason did not endanger the security of Middle-earth, the Khitans were an ungrateful wolf. They were very likely to bite the Grand Marshal at this critical moment." Yue Fei said about the Khitans with concern.

"The Khitans would never have thought that I would kill Youyan in such a short time and severely damage the Jin army." Li Hu smiled, "For Yelu Longqing, Yelu Mage and Yelu Dashi, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If it were you, would you be willing to give up such a good opportunity?"

"The real problem is that the power of the Khitans is not strong enough, and they have deep hatred with the Zubu people. The Khitans attacked Shangjing and would face the dilemma of instability in the rear. In this case, the safest way for the Khitans is to form an alliance with the Jurchens and I Middle-earth. First gain a foothold in the desert." Yue Fei said, "For the Khitans, if they want to form a three-legged tripod in the north, they first need territory and strength, so they may not fall into the trap of the general."

"Without my support and without my Hulie Army's restraint on the Jin Kingdom, the Khitans could not stand firm in the desert." Li Hu said calmly, "Although they knew it was a trap, they had to jump if they didn't jump, otherwise they would have no hope and would be swallowed up by the fierce Jurchens again."

Yue Fei thought for a moment and had to admit that Li Hu's statement was correct. As for the Khitans, alliance with Sino-Turkish was the basis for survival and development, and alliance with the Jin Kingdom was really about struggling with tigers. The Khitans wanted to rise again in the north, and the Jurchens wanted to conquer the desert and unify the north. The two of them were life-and-death enemies. So as Li Hu said, even if the Khitans knew that attacking Shangjing was a trap, they had to fight, because once Li Hu formed an alliance with the Jin Kingdom, the entire northern war situation would be a war between the Khitans and the Jurchens. Whether the Khitans could continue to survive at that time depends entirely on Li Hu's wishes. As long as Li Hu supported them, they could survive and there was hope.

"Master, how long can our money, food and weapons last?" Yue Fei asked a key question.

Li Hu smiled, "You have a calculation in your heart, and you even know it better than me."

Yue Fei shook his head helplessly, "Master, this battle takes time, so you must find a way to raise more money and food to maintain the needs of the war."

"I'm trying to figure out a way," said Li Hu. "I plan to ask Zhang Gao'er and Roland to lead a 50,000 army to the southeast to quell the rebellion, and at the same time raise money and food for the army."

Yue Fei immediately understood what Li Hu meant, and a chill suddenly appeared in the vest, "Master, is there a rebellion in the southeast?"

"Yes." Li Hu said lightly, "There are remnants of the White Lotus Sect in the southeast. The reason why these remnants took advantage of the situation and made trouble is because they were supported by Tong Guan and the rebels behind them. Most of the officials in the southeast supported those rebels, opposing our Huli Army, and tried to use the White Lotus Sect to poison and divide our Middle Earth. Therefore, Zhang Gao'er and Luo Lan's mission is to suppress the rebellion and kill the rebels at all costs."

Yue Fei looked at Li Hu in surprise, not knowing what to say. Li Hu finally couldn't help but attack, and the storm in the southeast was just an excuse for him to send troops to massacre the Southeast officials. Once the butcher's knife was raised, Li Hu could not only legitimately kill his opponents, but also legitimately capture their property, and the property of these people could just help the Hu Lie Army to persevere on the battlefield of Youyan.

Li Hu was too cruel. Yue Fei thought of the bloody storm that was about to begin in the southeast, and thought that thousands of people would die under the swords of the Tiger Lie Army, he couldn't help but fight several cold wars, and he no longer dared to look at Li Hu in his eyes.

"In the near future, you must win a battle in the Danzhou battlefield or Jizhou battlefield." Li Hu asked, "In your opinion, which battlefield is more confident?"

Yue Fei stabilized his emotions, thought carefully for a moment, and said, "It is most beneficial to fight the battle situation in the Jizhou battlefield. Pingzhou Road is east of Jizhou. Once our army wins the Jizhou battlefield, it can threaten Pingzhou Road, which will pose a great threat to the Jin army."

Li Hu nodded, "You go and do it immediately, the sooner this battle, the better."

Zhang Gaoer and Roland accepted Li Hu's order and led their troops south to the southeast battlefield.

Before leaving, Zhang Gao'er suddenly asked, "Master, when will you return to Chang'an?"

"Of course we have to wait until the end of the Yanjing War." Li Hu said with a smile.

"The Grand Marshal unified Zhongtu and built great meritorious achievements. In what capacity will he return to Chang'an to receive cheers from the people?" Zhang Gao'er asked again.

Li Hu didn't say anything.

"Master, don't waste time." Zhang Gaoer bowed and said, "In the past, the Master had sufficient reasons, but now China and Earth are about to be unified. What reason does the Master have to delay? Brothers have been waiting for so many years, looking forward to that exciting moment day and night. Please do not disappoint the brothers."
