A letter from Chang'an congratulated the Hu Lie Army on his recovery of Hebei. It also told Li Hu a serious situation. With the spread of the anti-corruption storm, more local governments were paralyzed, especially in the southeastern region, where small-scale rebellions have occurred. Under this situation, not only will the court's reform policies be difficult to implement and implement, but the domestic economy will suffer a heavy blow, which will seriously affect the court's financial income and affect the stability of the entire Middle-earth.

In the letter, Luo Sinan told Li Hu that it was gratifying that the Northern Expedition had achieved great results, and the great cause of Sino-Turkish unification was right in front of him. Once this news spread, the prestige of Li Hu and the Hu Lie Army would reach an astonishing peak, which would help the court to ease the crisis brought by this storm to a certain extent. With the recognition and acceptance of Li Hu and the Hu Lie Army by the people of China, the power of those opponents would be even more vulnerable. From the future, the Middle Earth crisis is still within a controllable range, but the results of this Northern Expedition have limited buffers for the crisis. Li Hu must change his strategy as soon as possible and immediately dispatch troops to the southeast to quell the rebellion in order to firmly control the development of the situation.

Luo Sinan believes that the damage this storm will cause to Middle Earth is immeasurable. If you are not careful, Middle Earth may go into chaos and division. Therefore, Luo Sinan warned Li Hu that if you want to turn the tide, the only way at present is to conquer Yanjing, recover Youyan, complete the great cause of unification, and inject a powerful force into Middle Earth that can destroy everything that may lead to chaos and division. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Unlike Luo Sinan's concerns about the future in his letter, Luo Qinghan, Huang She and others were full of confidence in the future. In the letter, they warned Li Hu that they must win this Northern Expedition and complete the great cause of unification, and then use this merit to win the support of the people of Middle-earth, and then achieve the ultimate goal of the fierce people fighting for.

The tiger lie men fought bloody battles and fought for more than ten years. The ultimate goal was to open the border and establish a country. Li Hu led the tiger lie men to a long journey and finally got to the front of the goal, just one last step away. Luo Qinghan, Huang She and others' words were actually implying that Li Hu ascended the throne and became emperor after the victory of the Northern Expedition and established a powerful new dynasty in Central China.

Yuanye told Li Hu in his letter that since the news of the Huliwei Army's great victory in Hebei reached Chang'an, the situation in Chang'an has become increasingly tense. Officials from all over the court knew that Li Hu was getting closer and closer to the day of ascending the throne and becoming emperor, and many officials even began to discuss this matter in private occasions, which made the political situation in Chang'an surging and full of dangers.

There is a saying in Chang'an that Li Hu launched this anti-corruption storm to attack the old bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty before the Northern Expedition, which was to eradicate his most powerful opponent and pave the way for him to ascend the throne and become emperor after the Northern Expedition. Just imagine that if there was no such storm, the old bureaucrats in various places were not in deep trouble and the governments in various places were not paralyzed, then it can be imagined that when the news of the great victory in Hebei spread, these local bureaucrats would definitely use the power of the local government to create a series of troubles, openly and secretly, and oppose the court to prevent Li Hu from seizing the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Li Hu was as expected and launched this storm before the Northern Expedition, using the power of the people of Middle-earth to knock down his biggest enemy to the ground. Although the situation in Middle-earth now looks very chaotic and is out of control, it is actually the best time for Li Hu to ascend the throne and become emperor. This is to win in chaos.

Li Hu won the Northern Expedition, completed the great cause of unification, won the support of the people of Middle-earth, and his greatest enemy was defeated again. So is there any obstacle to his ascension to the throne and emperor? Without obstacles and without opposition, Li Hu was easy to seize the reign of the Song Dynasty, and then worked hard to govern, stabilize and revitalize Middle-earth, and created a paradise for the people of Middle-earth to live and work in peace and contentment. This was equivalent to establishing another great merit, and then his rule would win the hearts of the people in the shortest time, as solid as a soul.

After reading these letters, Li Hu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The development of things exceeded his expectations. He did not expect that the situation in Chang'an would develop so quickly. The real power faction led by the Hu Lie people could not wait to establish a new dynasty by taking advantage of the great achievements of the Northern Expedition. This time, with the support of emerging forces represented by giant merchants and wealthy businessmen, the opposition forces dominated by the old bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty were severely damaged by the storm, and the road to establishing a new dynasty was flat. The only thing that is worrying is the increasingly serious chaos in the country. Once this chaotic situation is quickly reversed after the establishment of the new dynasty, it will be a huge achievement of the new dynasty, which has laid a solid foundation for the development of the new dynasty.

Everything seems so natural and so seamless, but in fact, Li Hu is not ready for a new dynasty yet. He still insists on establishing a new dynasty after the two basic conditions of unifying Middle-earth and stabilizing Middle-earth are met. However, now it seems that if his structure of establishing a new dynasty wants to change, he must immediately prepare to establish a new dynasty, otherwise the situation may be out of control.

Zhu Xia, Liu Jingyuan, Wang An and others also read these letters.

Like many tiger harsh people, Zhu Xia had a blind admiration for Li Hu. He believed that all this was the result of Li Hu's strategy. He did not think it was surprising, while Liu Jingyuan and Wang An were stunned and shocked. They once realized that Li Hu was powerful, and this kind of talent was not something they could imagine. They were not only afraid of Li Hu, but also worshiped him.

Li Hu began to rethink the entire situation, and it was no longer possible to consider the situation in the north.

Chang'an is waiting for Li Hu's reply. As long as Li Hu makes a hint of establishing a new dynasty, Chang'an will start preparing immediately, but Li Hu has not responded for a long time.

Zhu Xia and Chang'an maintained close contact. There were some things that the Hu Lie of Chang'an dared not tell Li Hu Ming, but they could discuss with Zhu Xia and understand Li Hu's ideas through Zhu Xia. Zhu Xia, under Chang'an's urging, tried Li Hu's intentions repeatedly, but Li Hu remained silent.

In the late April, Yue Fei assembled about 150,000 troops on the Jizhou battlefield to fight against the Jin army. The Jin army had only tens of thousands of troops on the Pingzhou Road. Although reinforcements from the western Liaoning arrived one after another, the total number of troops did not exceed 100,000. Wanyan Zongjun set out from the entire Youyan battle situation and defended Pingzhou Road to the death, refusing to fight against the Tiger and Lieutenant Army.

Li Hu led the main force of the Hu Lie Army to surround Yanjing, Dong Zhongsun is in Tanzhou, and Yue Fei is in Jizhou. The three places of the Hu Lie Army formed a cone battle formation with both offense and defense, so Yue Fei did not take the initiative to attack, so a confrontation was quickly formed on the Youyan battlefield, and both sides were waiting for the opportunity to attack.

It was soon May, and in early May, Yelu Mage went to the Yanjing front line to pay homage to Li Hu.

Yelu Mage explained the situation in the desert to Li Hu and explained to Li Hu the reasons why they secretly formed an alliance with the Jin army in the Battle of Lightning River. If the Khitans want to survive and develop in the desert, they must weaken the strength of the Bu Bu people to the greatest extent. The best way at that time was to use the force of the Jin army to severely damage the Bu people. Yelu Mage's reason was based on the interests of the Khitans. Li Hu fully understood it and laughed it off.

Yelu Ma Ge knew that this matter could not be concealed by Li Hu. Fortunately, the Hu Lie Army had already established an advantage in the Southeast War at that time, and this matter did not harm Li Hu's interests, so he simply told him frankly to win Li Hu's understanding.

Then the two talked about the current situation. "Now is your best chance to recover from the capital." Li Hu said, "Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on whether you have the determination to go all out."

Yelu Ma Ge hesitated for a moment and asked directly: "When will the Tiger King plan to fight to the decisive battle?"

"I have no plan to fight to the decisive battle." Li Hu smiled, "You should have a clear understanding of the current situation in the northern war. Once you attack Shangjing, the Jurchens will be attacked from both sides. At this time, they have to make a choice, either give up Shangjing and form an alliance with you, or give up Yanjing and form an alliance with me. Obviously, from the perspective of the interests of the Jurchens, they obviously want to give up Yanjing, as long as I meet their conditions."

Yelu Ma Ge looked cold and said nothing.

"The reason you came to see me in person is just to get a promise from me." Li Hu smiled, "Don't worry, I will not betray my oath. As long as you abide by the covenant between us, I will of course do my best to help you rise again in the north."

"We need more promises from the Tiger King." Yelu Mage said bluntly.

"More promises?" Li Hu understood what Yelu Ma Ge meant. The Khitans not only wanted to rise again, but also defeated the Jurchens and regain their hometown. Li Hu shook his head and smiled, "I can't give you more promises for the time being."

"So, the Tiger King is determined to form a three-legged situation in the north?" Yelu Mage asked calmly.

"In the future, this strategy will be in the interests of our three parties. We all need time to accumulate strength to break this balance." Li Hu said, "As for the future, if I, Middle-earth, restore my national strength, of course I will choose you allies and join forces with you to attack the Jurchens and take revenge."

Yelu Ma Ge thought for a long time and asked, "When will it be in the future? How long does the Tiger King need to restore the strength of Middle Earth?"

"It depends on your determination and strength." Li Hu said. "If you can stop the Jurchens from conquering the desert, I guess this time will not be too long. On the contrary, if you cannot resist the attack of the Jin army, I have to take action. I cannot allow the Jurchens to unify the north and pose a huge threat to Middle-earth."

Yelu Mage secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What he wanted was this sentence. As long as Li Hu did not give up on the Khitans, the Khitans would still need to restrain the Jurchens in the desert. The Khitans would eventually return to their hometown. However, the alliance between the Khitans and Li Hu was based on interests. If the Khitans could not meet Li Hu's interests, Li Hu would stand by and watch even if he would not help the Jurchens eliminate them. This would make the Khitans lose hope.

"We are gathering troops." Yelu Mage made a promise, "We will attack Shangjing at the end of this month or early next month."

Li Hu smiled and nodded, "If you have any questions, please mention them, and I will try my best to satisfy you."

"We need more troops." Yelu Mage said without hesitation, "I beg the Tiger King to give us the Khitans and Xi prisoners."

During the Central Plains War, the Huli Army captured a large number of Khitans and Xi troops, and then captured a group of them in the Hebei War. Yelu Mage made this request, obviously he had already prepared.
