The third day of the April...Sanyiquan.

Li Hu arrived at the camp of the resentful army and met with Dong Xiaochou, Hu Jiayong, Zuo Zhuanrong and Lu Long.

"The Jin army is attacking Erlong Mountain." Xie Zhibin briefly introduced the war in the past few days. "It is obvious that the Jin army's goal is to conquer Xuande, Dezhou Zhifu, and thus cut off the connection between us and the Khitans. Then go south from Xuande to attack Sanyiquan and Jubao. In order to form an encirclement force against Baibao, Jiulong Bay and Black Soil Platform on the Yinmahe line, forcing our army to withdraw from the Yinmahe line."

"In addition, after the Jin army captured Xuande City, it could threaten Yunzhong and force the Liao army to the Fumin City area." Dong Xiaochou added. "When the Jin army attacked Datong with all its might, it would definitely shrink on the Jinhe line and hold on to Fumin City. In this way, it could not only threaten the flanks of the Jin army, but also wait for an opportunity to attack when we and the Jin army were both defeated. However, in this way, we would have to deal with the Jin army alone. The battlefield situation was very unfavorable to us. Therefore, we must help the Khitans defend Xuande City and drag the Liao army firmly on the battlefield."

Li Hu lay on the map and watched for a long time. Then he looked up and asked, "Who is in Erlong Mountain?"

"The palace tent army is very stable, Yelu Dezhong. I heard that it is the younger brother of Yelu Deguang, the governor of the collapsed ridge." Hu Jiayong said immediately.

"Where is our army?"

"In Xiaotianping Mountain, it is only six miles away from Erlong Mountain. Attack the Jin army from the flanks at any time to support it."

"Who is on Xiaotianping Mountain?"

"The fourth general of the resentful army, Nian Junyu, and the sixth general, Yang Yun."

"It's always them?" Li Hu asked

Hu Jiayong nodded. "We took back Erlong Mountain twice. Both are fourth and sixth will charge forward."

“Is the loss big?”

"The loss is huge." Hu Jiayong said. "The one who led the army to attack Erlong Mountain was Yelu Xie's slave. This barbarian soldier worked very hard after he defected to the Jurchens. He attacked very fiercely."

Li Hu thought for a moment and asked again: "Does the Jin army show signs of increasing troops in Erlong Mountain?"

"Yes." Xie Zhibin said. "This morning we received a report from the scout. A Jin army approached Erlong Mountain. It is said that there were 20,000 to 30,000 people. In addition, according to Yelu Mage, the Jin army attacking the front line of the God of Wealth Liang and Gancao Hudong stopped the attack. If nothing unexpected happens, they may immediately turn to the Erlong Mountain battlefield."

"The war has begun for eight days. But the Jin army has not achieved any results. The Jurchens are obviously anxious." Dong Xiaohou looked solemn. "The Jin army is going to attack Erlong Mountain with all its strength. We are short of troops at this moment. It is difficult to defend Texas."

Li Hu frowned slightly. "There is no news about the reinforcements of the Khitans?"

Dong Xiaohou smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Zhi Niang. Yelu Ma Ge's bastard is lying to us. The Khitans have no reinforcements at all." Hu Jiayong cursed. "The Khitans are about to die. They can't hold on anymore. They have to pull us as a cushion. It's outrageous. In my opinion, this battle cannot be fought anymore. Don't expect the Khitans to defeat the Golden Dog with our own strength."

Li Hu smiled. "Of course I dare not count on the Khitans. Besides, what reason does the Khitans have to help us maintain the harmony? However, the Khitans still have a role now. We cannot abandon them. Abandoning them is equivalent to giving them to the Jurchens. The Jurchens get this army and it is even more difficult for us."

Hu Jiayong sneered. "General Commander, are you sure the Khitans will not turn against each other?"

"Of course I can't do it." Li Hu said. "So we urgently need a victory. Without victory, we have been suppressed and beaten by the Jurchens. Not only is the Liao army desperate, but we ourselves are becoming more and more desperate."

The tent fell silent. The reason was right. The idea was also very good. But the facts were cruel. The Jin soldiers were numerous and started a full war. They attacked from all directions. The rebels had to fight to the death. So the rebels' forces were dispersed. There was no military advantage on all battlefields. They were extremely passive. At this time, they said they wanted to win a battle. In fact, it was impossible. However, Li Hu had always been able to turn defeat into victory in desperate situations and defeat his opponents. If he wanted to win the battle, he could only hope for this invincible king.

"General General. I heard that we asked for help from the Song Dynasty. Is it true?" Lu Long asked.

"Everyone knows the current situation. We are short of our own troops. The Khitans are unreliable. The Dangxiang people are taking advantage of the situation to rob. What other ways are we going to ask for help from the Song Dynasty?" Li Hu said with a calm expression. "I came this time to explain this matter to you."

Then Li Hu briefly explained the future survival and development strategy of the rebel army.

When in western Liaoning, the rebel army formulated a strategy to rely on the Song Dynasty to develop and then go north to establish a kingly and domineering career. However, the foundation at that time was Youyan. Now it was Daibei. In addition, the Khitans were still very strong at that time. Now the Khitans are divided and no longer able. But a new opponent has appeared. That is the Dangxiang people. Although Li Hu once planned to go south to develop and compete for the Central Plains during this period, because of this idea, he directly confronted the Song Dynasty. Therefore, only a very small number of people within the rebel army knew about the future. Most generals' considerations for the future were based on the strategy of building a country in the north formulated in western Liaoning.

In the founding of a country in the north, we will defeat the Khitans, Jurchens and Dangxiang people. Compared with these three opponents, the rebel army is at an absolute disadvantage, including the Khitans. Because the Khitans also have deserts and territory, and in time, it still has the possibility of making a comeback.

For the rebel army, the most deadly part is that there is no stable territory. Although the rebel army has more than 100,000 troops, no territory is equal to water without a source and tree without roots. Its strength is vulnerable and may be defeated at any time.

Originally, Li Hu led the rebel army to capture Datong, intending to develop with Daibei as the foundation. Everyone was ambitious and full of hope for the future. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed. The Khitans lost Zhongjing. After the Jurchens occupied Zhongjing, they immediately rushed into Daibei and shattered the rebel dream. Everything returned to the starting point. The rebel army was only happy for a few months, and then fell into an existential crisis again.

It is indeed frustrating to think about it. Although Li Hu is a king, a half-human and a half-god, he created one miracle after another. He never led the rebels out of the predicament of survival. From Luo Qinghan to now, it has been four years since he found Li Hu. The rebels have gone from the Dashan Alliance to western Liaoning, from western Liaoning to Daibei. After disasters and storms, they have been fighting for survival. No matter how they think, they are frustrating and discouraging. The mysterious halo shrouded on Li Hu's head gradually faded. Many people began to doubt Li Hu's divine power. They thought he was also a person. An ordinary person with the status of a king.

Most of the generals of the resentful army came from the Northeast Road. They were far away from their hometowns and felt like duckweed and drifted with the flow. Therefore, their greatest wish was to return to their hometowns and rebuild their homes. In terms of this wish, they were very supportive of the strategy of establishing a country in the north. At the same time, as for the current situation of the rebel army, they were also willing to accept the strategy of seeking the Song Dynasty. Recruiting the Song Dynasty can exchange opportunities for development. Only when the rebel army has the strength can they fight the territory and build the country. But on the other hand, they are afraid that vested interests will be damaged. Therefore, they belong to the fence faction in the rebel army, waiting to see.

Now the rebels and the Jurchens have started fighting. The Dangxiang people have also come to take advantage of the situation to rob. The rebels are under the enemy from both sides and are in danger. In this case, they feel that their survival is dangerous, so their ideas have changed. From a negative attitude of opposition and waiting to see to a positive attitude of support. They hope to get assistance from the Song Dynasty. They hope to use the power of the Song Dynasty to defend this only place to settle down.

"We ask for help from the Song Dynasty. Whether the Song Dynasty will agree. The key is whether we can agree to their request." Li Hu said. "The Song Dynasty obviously will not give up on the mountain behind. Now the situation behind the mountain is in urgent need of us. This allows us to increase the land price for the Song Dynasty. In order to ensure that the mountain behind can get it, the Song Dynasty will also make compromises and concessions. In other words, our vested interests will be maintained to the greatest extent."

Li Hu looked at Hu Jiayong and others and said with a smile: "I don't know if you can accept it."

"The resentful army is absolutely loyal to the Tiger King and supports all the decisions of the Tiger King." Hu Jiayong did not hesitate and flattered him. Then he said, "Master General, don't worry about us. We support you. The person who opposes you is Yun Shuai, Gui Shuai, and that bald man. The main reason is that their people don't listen to you. Now Yun Shuai is fighting fiercely with Jin Gou in Yehuling. He is probably beaten and is in a hurry to ask for reinforcements. At this time, he told him to go east and he will never dare to go west.

The more difficult ones are Gui Shuai and Tudai's group of people..." Hu Jiayong secretly glanced at Dong Xiaohou and found a smile on his lips. He became more courageous. "If the general coach doesn't listen to you, give them some excellence. Those people rely on their qualifications and have many military achievements. They came out of the mountains with you. They are very arrogant and don't take you seriously at all. They often go against you. If this continues, it will have a great impact on your prestige."

Li Hu nodded with a smile and did not comment. However, the expression on his face told Hu Jiayong that he was indeed very dissatisfied with Hou Gai and Zhang Gaoer.

Li Hu was making a fuss. He knew that the revenge army and his old subordinates might be fine. The grudges formed on the battlefield in Jinzhou were still in their hearts. In particular, the revenge army deputy commander Guo Yaoshi turned against him at the last minute made many rebel generals feel uneasy. He asked for trouble for the revenge army if he had something to do. So Hu Jiayong took this opportunity to fan the flames in his ears and wanted to attack them.
