Li Hu could use sweet words to coax the generals and generals in the army, but he could not coax Luo Qinghan, Hu Tu and a group of officials from the General Administration. They knew best how long the rebel army could last.
When Li Hu asked Luo Qinghan and Hu Tu, the two accepted these three strategies. After learning that the finances were in a serious crisis, Huo Liuge and Chai Yun had long disbelief of Li Hu's arguments. They also agreed to implement these three strategies to protect the mountain.
So, Li Hu took the "lasso" from Li Gang's hand and put it on his head.
The seven people immediately discussed specific strategies. Such as being named King of Han, opening the palace, raising the flag, circulating the texts to various armies, counties, and posting announcements, etc., are all trivial matters. The most important thing now is to reduce the price of grain first.
The way to calm grain prices is actually very simple, and the foolish plan coincides with Li Gang's ideas.
Hu Tu's plan was to open the warehouse and release grain. At the same time, he urgently sued Luo Sinan and Tuo Shuai Ying Qin. He immediately prepared a thousand large trucks, filled with earth bags and covered with linoleum, and lied that the food provided by the Song Dynasty had arrived. Mrs. Luo personally escorted the car from Hedong Road. No one suspected that the news was fake, and the price of grain fell sharply. At this time, the rebel army then purchased grain from merchants at a low price and backfilled the grain warehouse. If the merchants did not sell it and wanted to hoard grain, they would be polite, falsely accused of a crime, arrested and beheaded for public display.
Now Li Gang offers suggestions, calling Li Hu the King of Han, opening the palace, raising the Song Dynasty banner, and publicly surrendering to the Song Dynasty. This lie will not be exposed, but this is just a temporary solution. If you want to completely solve the problem of grain prices, you must immediately send someone to Hedong Road to buy food at a low price, otherwise the price of grain may surge again. After all, lies will be exposed sooner or later.
Li Gang volunteered to go south to Hedong Road to raise grain.
Li Hu urgently summoned the head commanders of various armies in Datong, officials of the General Office, and officials of the Datong Prefecture, and officially announced his return to the Song Dynasty.
That night, a ceremony of enfeoffment was held in Tongwen Hall. Yuwen Xu announced the edict and Li Gang gave the seal.
Li Hu accepted the title of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, received the title of king, and was called King of Han.
Then Li Hu opened the Mansion and the General General's Mansion was changed to the Han Prince's Mansion. The residence of the royal mansion was changed to the Hu Lie Mansion.
According to the imperial edict of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, the nine provinces behind the mountain were merged into Yunzhongfu Road, which was the hereditary fief of King Li Hu of Han, and Li Hu was a vassal state of the Song Dynasty.
The beginning of the seventeenth day.
The Han Palace and Datong Palace held the Dasong flag and posted notices at the office and city gates.
At the same time, the fast horse carried the Han King's Order, raised the Song Dynasty flag, and rushed to various prefectures and counties, and armies.
On the 17th day, Li Hu sent an envoy to the Jin army camp on the front line of Zhenchuanbao and the Xia army camp on the front line of Shuozhou Biedouzhai. The fact that he surrendered to the Song Dynasty was revealed is true.
Xiao Delidi has been the special envoy of the two palace tents of the Liao Dynasty since last month. He has been staying in Datong and maintaining close contact with Yanjing and Yunnei so that he can discuss countermeasures with the General General of the Rebel Army at any time. He knew that Li Hu had contact with the Song Dynasty, and Li Hu also needed to find a way out for himself. It was normal for him to be in a state of affairs, but what he did not expect was that Li Hu had a few days of defeat in Dezhou and defected to the Song Dynasty.
This speed is too fast, which only shows that Li Hu and Da Song had already agreed, but Li Hu was unwilling to accept it and wanted to make a bloody path in Daibei. However, Dezhou was defeated by Li Hu and he could not hold on, so he made a decisive decision and defected to Da Song.
For Li Hu, seeking a visit to the Song Dynasty was the best way to alleviate the current crisis.
Song and Jin had an alliance, and Song Xia had an alliance. Li Hu raised the battle flag of the Song Dynasty. If the Jurchens and Dangxiang people continued to attack, they would turn against the Song Dynasty, and the consequences were unpredictable.^^ The commanders of these two armies suddenly received a letter from Li Hu. They must urgently report to their respective emperors. In this way, Li Hu could win time to breathe.
Li Hu now needs time to breathe. The rebel army has just returned from Dezhou. The morale is unstable and the morale is sluggish. The states behind Datong and the mountains are panicking because of the enemy's large-scale invasion, the people are panicking, the food prices soar, and the situation is even more chaotic. In this case, Li Hu is no longer able to fight again, and he is desperate. His only way is to defect to the Song Dynasty and ask for help from the Song Dynasty.
Li Hu defected to the Song Dynasty, Yelu Chun had not had much time, and his strategy of placing Liaodong three times failed completely. For the Khitans, this was the most tragic thing, and the Great Liao Kingdom was over.
Xiao Delidi sat there blankly, his face pale and despairing expression, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Li Hu looked at Xiao Delidie worriedly, and suddenly he found that Xiao Delidie seemed to be dead and could no longer see any vitality.
Li Hu sighed, walked to Xiao Delidi, helped him up, and walked out of the house while whispering: "Are you going back to Yanjing?"
Xiao Delidi shook his head.
Li Hu hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Do you want to go to Yinshan?"
Xiao Delidi shook his head again.
The two walked to the door silently. Wang Dazhong stepped forward and supported Xiao Delidi.
"Tell him back to the inn in person." Li Hu said, "Tell the inn to serve him well and not be negligent."
Wang Dazhong looked at Xiao Delidi who was about to fall, and felt enlightened, and carefully helped him leave. Later, it became the back of the Song Dynasty.
After a short shock, the people of Datong cheered and cheered. The dream of returning for more than a hundred years suddenly came true. The Han people far away from the Celestial Empire finally returned to the embrace of the Celestial Empire.
Cheers... earth-shaking cheers...
"We have returned to the Heavenly Dynasty, we have returned to the Heavenly Dynasty..." People ran around and told each other, and people cried and cried. After more than a hundred years of separation from the Heavenly Dynasty, they finally returned home. In the next few days, the people behind the mountain will gather under the battle flag of the Song Dynasty, cheering between the cities and mountains... crying... The real person suddenly discovered that the battle flag of the rebel army had changed, and all the main battle flags were replaced by the battle flag of the Song Dynasty.
Did Li Hu defect to the Song Dynasty, or did the Song Dynasty army come?
Wanyan Gao, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongpan rushed out of the camp and headed straight for the front-line battle formation.
The Jurchens of this generation did not fight with the army of the Song Dynasty, and these commanders had never served as missions to the Song Dynasty. They knew almost nothing about the Song Dynasty. The impression of the Song Dynasty in their hearts came from the stories passed down by their ancestors. Their ancestors once followed Yelu Abaoji and followed Empress Xiao to attack the Central Plains. In these stories of the ancestors, the Song Dynasty was a powerful dynasty, and the Song Dynasty's army was also a powerful army. The Khitans occupied the strategic land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but at its peak, they failed to conquer the Central Plains and finally had to divide the world equally with the Song Dynasty. This shows the power of the Song Dynasty.
The Jurchens stood in front of the formation, staring at the Song Dynasty battle flag flying in the wind, and were secretly shocked.
The emperor once told them in a letter that after the envoy of the Song Dynasty learned that the Jurchen army had entered Daibei, he was worried that the Jurchens would seize the Xijing and the Jiuzhou in the back of the mountain, so he immediately said that Li Hu had defected to the Song Dynasty. This statement was obviously false. After Li Hu arrived in Xijing, he did not publicly say that he had defected to the Song Dynasty. Li Hu might have contact with the Song Dynasty, but Li Hu had ambitions and would not surrender to the Song Dynasty easily. For this reason, the emperor asked them to seize the Xijing as quickly as possible, so that Li Hu would not really defect to the Song Dynasty, and that would be troublesome.
However, before the Jurchens could conquer Xijing, Li Hu had already defected to the Song Dynasty, and things were really troublesome.
According to the agreement of the Maritime Alliance, the Song Dynasty fought against Xijing and Yanjing, and the mountains behind the mountain belonged to the Song Dynasty. Now Li Hu led the nine provinces behind the mountain to join the Song Dynasty. This is the territory of the Song Dynasty. If you continue to attack, it would be that you violated the alliance and went to war with the Song Dynasty.
"Cunning thief, shameless..." Wanyan Zongpan angrily attacked his heart and roared wildly, "This is Li Hu's trick. Attack immediately and enter Datong."
Zong Han and Zong Wang looked cold and said nothing.
Wanyan Gao was angry, the flesh on his face kept twitching, and his eyes were full of murderous aura. Although he accepted Zong Han and Zong Wang's suggestion and divided his troops to attack Yunnei, he did not give up attacking Xijing. Wanyan Yu brought an army of 70,000 to attack Yunnei. He still had more than 200,000 troops in his hands, and he took advantage of the victory and had a great chance of victory. Unexpectedly, Li Hu actually used such a move.
Wanyan Gao thought for a long time and called Yelu Yukki to his side, "From you see, is this matter trustworthy?"
Yelu Yu nodded, shook his head again, and smiled bitterly. Li Hu was too powerful, and this move could be said to be just right. The Jin army took advantage of the great victory of Dezhou and came in a fierce battle. The terrain of Zhenchuan Fort was relatively flat and basically no danger could be defended. The Jin army could easily reach the city of Xijing and surround Xijing. In this way, even if Li Hu defended Xijing to the death, he could not turn the tide and turn the world around. Just wait for the Jin army to occupy Yunnei and establish a covenant with Daxia and the desert. The rest was very simple, but now Li Hu changed the flag and the situation completely changed.
When Yelu Yuji saw Zong Han and Zong Wang, he had to admire the foresight of these two people. Li Hu was indeed not an ordinary person. He had planned everything and it was too difficult to fight him. At this point, the Jin army was in a dilemma, and Wanyan Gao would definitely not dare to attack. He had to report to the emperor whether he would go to war with the Song Dynasty. In this way, time would be delayed. If the Song army quickly captured Yanjing, there would be no way to fight this battle.
Looking back now, Zong Han and Zong Wang were indeed correct to demand to attack Fengshengzhou first, take Juyongguan, and get the initiative in the entire battle situation. However, it was too late to say this, and the initiative was taken to Li Hu, and the Jurchens were completely passive.
Is it going to go to war with the Song Dynasty? Yelu Yu's heartbeat suddenly worsened, and he saw a glimmer of hope and a glimmer of hope to revive the Liao Dynasty.
