Since the Yellow River broke its dam nine years ago, the finances of the Song Dynasty have deteriorated sharply."

"First, the Dangxiang people in the Western Expedition, fought for several years, then attacked Song Jiang Fangla, and then the Northern Expedition, ended the Northern Expedition and fought Xixia again, while the rebellion in Hebei and Shandong became more and more intense. Coupled with one after another, floods, drought and earthquakes, the court's finances had long been on the verge of collapse. In fact, it had collapsed, otherwise the government would not have invited Cai Jing out, but after only four months, the government drove him home because Cai Jing could not turn the tide."

"The revenge of Youyan was purely a loss of money; Hedong and Shandong lost their financial resources due to rebellion; Shaanxi and Hedong's financial resources were already ineffective due to continuous conquests. The reason why Bianjing can barely support it now depends entirely on the southeast, but the southeast has been hollowed out because of more than ten years of Huashigang. No one knows how long Bianjing can last."

"At this time, the government rebuilt the imperial court in the southeast, which was equivalent to jamming Bianjing's neck. Where did Bianjing obtain money and food to support the huge army and recover Hebei and Youyan's war?"

"At present, all prefectures and counties north of the Yellow River cannot provide financial income to Bianjing. The area around Jingzuo was plundered by the Jin army, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to recover in the short term. Therefore, except for the southeast, there is only Jinghu and Sichuan, but there is one court in the southeast and one court in Bianjing. Who should I listen to Jinghu and Sichuan? Even if both are not offended, I will give half of it. In this way, what should I do with Bianjing? The little emperor didn't say that he could just defend Bianjing. He must regain Hebei and Youyan, otherwise the traitor of the three towns would definitely push him into the abyss."

Tong Guan looked at Li Hu and sneered: "Do you understand my intention now?"

Li Hu already understood that because he did not understand Bianjing, he immediately launched a mutiny, destroying the old emperor's complete plan.

The little emperor had just ascended the throne and was eager to seize power. He was unstable internally and could not believe in the army of defending the king. He had only one strategy to retreat to the enemy, which was to sell the country and sell as much as he could until the Jurchens were satisfied. In this case, even if he defended Bianjing, he could not win reputation and the people's hearts. The Jin army withdrew, and the old emperor blocked his money and food, and the little emperor could not counterattack Hebei and Youyan. Wang and Tong Guan threatened him with the Tiger and Lieutenant Army. Bianjing would inevitably be in chaos. The little emperor obediently stepped down and had no room for resistance.

But Li Hu was unwilling to be controlled by Prince Yun. He wanted to control Prince Yun and then controlled the authority of the Song Dynasty through Prince Yun, so he launched this mutiny in Taiyuan. However, this mutiny not only failed to alleviate the bad situation in the Song Dynasty, but instead made the situation even more uncontrollable.

"You have controlled Prince Yun, but will you hand over the king to Bianjing?" Tong Guan asked, "You don't, you need the king, and the threat that the king posed to the Song Dynasty is so great. Bianjing knows better than anyone else. Therefore, even if Bianjing shakes hands with you, it will be short-lived. My head will only give you and Bianjing a period of easing time."

"You have a greater threat to the land of Bianjing. Bianjing will not dare to go north to recover Hebei and Youyan. They will use you to restrain the Jurchens and then concentrate their efforts to solve the Southeast court. Bianjing must solve the problem of money, grain and land before they can go back to deal with you. Obviously, the Supreme Emperor and the Little Emperor will fight. The Little Emperor will not invite the Supreme Emperor back to Bianjing and then return the authority to the Supreme Emperor?"

"The old emperor and the little emperor fought. Of course you would sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight for the fisherman's benefit. But what about the Jurchens? The Jurchens went south this time and were unstoppable. They basically figured out the reality of the Song Dynasty. They would continue to attack south. What should you do then? If you try your best to stop the Jurchens, you will fight to the death with the Jurchens. And the fisherman will benefit from the Bianjing."

Li Hu was dizzy by the complex power struggles like Bianjing. The local affairs of the Song Dynasty were too complicated. He broke in with force and blood. The land was really too dangerous. Of course, if he was like the Jurchens and had a plundering mentality, it would be completely different.

"In your opinion, as long as you control Prince Yun and shake hands with Bian Jing, the little emperor in Bian Jing's strength has skyrocketed with the help of the king-stricken army. The Supreme Emperor will be tied up. Then the little emperor can rush his troops north to regain Hebei and Youyan. Fight with the Jin army both defeated the enemy. Then you lead the army south and easily take down Bian Jing and seize the imperial throne. Isn't it?" Tong Guan sneered. "Do you think the people in Bian Jing's city are all idiots?"

Li Hu twisted the chess piece in his hand. Looking at Tong Guan's disdainful eyes, his face looked a little ugly. He felt that he was very idiotic.

"What is your purpose in launching a mutiny in Taiyuan? Isn't it just to control the authority of the Song Dynasty? Isn't it just to think that like Taizu, I will also wear a yellow robe in the future?" Tong Guan stared at Li Hu and sneered in contemptuously, "Yes, you do have such strength and such talent. The land you lack is just a land for development and growth. The land you have in the Song Dynasty was originally stolen from the hands of orphans and widows. It is reasonable for you to take it for yourself now.

The change of dynasties is that the strong are kings, losers are enemies, and whoever is powerful is the country, but as a strong man, you must have the courage of a strong man. What is the only one who can still welcome you when you are secretly trying to refuse? Do you have the style of a strong man?"

Li Husilly

Looking at Tong Guan, he was scolded and fainted by him. This eunuch handsome man is so strong. Will he tempt me to beat Bianjing?

"If you continue to do this like you, the Song Dynasty will not only break out in civil war, but will also split. In the end, I don't know who will get the advantage."

Li Hu was stunned for a long time and asked, "The Grand Master means..."

"Catch Chang'an." Tong Guan's face was as calm as water, and his tone suddenly changed, becoming extremely cold and solemn. "When one of the main forces of the Northwest Army was north of Hengshan and the other was in Bianjing, his main forces were completely dispersed, he quickly captured Chang'an and occupied Guanzhong."

Li Hu suddenly felt suffocated. At this time, taking Chang'an and becoming the king of the Northwest at this time does not mean splitting the Song Dynasty and destroying the Song Dynasty? Is Tong Guan a eunuch crazy?

"Does the monk think I'm digging a trap?" Tong Guan asked.

"I do feel this way." Li Hu Lao said honestly.

"If you want to achieve your goal, this is the best opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you may never have the chance to occupy the entire northwest again." Tong Guan said calmly, "Taking Chang'an and occupying Guanzhong is equivalent to cutting off the grain routes of Xihe, Huanqing and other roads. The Northwest Army has no food supplement and has to bow to you. Going south from Guanzhong into Sichuan and Jinghu, you can quickly obtain money and grain support, so that you can gain a foothold in the northwest and lay a solid foundation."

Li Hu was moved. Tong Guan was in charge of the military affairs of the Northwest for more than 20 years, and during this period he also led the prisoner of the Privy Council to take charge of the military affairs of the Song Dynasty several times. Of course, his words were not nonsense, but a perfect strategy of dominance.

Tong Guan knew that Li Hu was moved and sighed secretly. It depends on the king now. If Prince Yun is not as domineering as the king, then this strategy will be in vain.

"It is inevitable that the Jin army will retreat, it is only a matter of time." Tong Guan said, "You have withdrawn from Helan Mountain, and the Jin army is alone and unable to get enough food and grass. Now the retreat is in danger of being cut off by you. Of course, you have to retreat quickly, but retreating does not mean that they give up Hebei and Youyan."

"The Jin army retreated, and when the threat to Bianjing was still maintained, Bianjing was stuck in his neck by the Supreme Emperor. At this time, Prince Yun moved the Northwest Marshal's Mansion to Chang'an, echoing the east and west of the Supreme Emperor, Bianjing's life was very sad."

"The Great Marshal's Mansion in the Northwest was moved to Chang'an, and Prince Yun could then quickly control Sichuan and Shu and Jinghu under the name of the Supreme Emperor."

"This time is very short. When Prince Yun and the envoy led the army to Chang'an, Bian Jing might not know anything. By the time Bian Jing got the news, Bian Jing had lost control of the northwest."

"In this way, there will be the Emperor in the southeast, the Little Emperor in the Bianjing, and the Prince of Yun in the northwest. The three sides confront each other, and the civil war will not break out in the short term."

Li Hu knew that this was a trap, but this trap was beautiful and he could not resist the temptation and willingly jumped in.

The strength of Hu Lie Mansion is limited to Daibei. At this moment, it entered Hedong, and then entered Chang'an, controlled Guanzhong, and then controlled the entire northwest, and included Sichuan, Shu and Jinghu into the sphere of influence. This is simply a snake swallowing elephant. Although it is not impossible for a snake to swallow elephant, the time is too short, and the snake will rise to death alive.

Tong Guan’s purpose is very simple. You, Li Hu, want to establish a kingly and domineering career. Well, I will give you a chance. Indeed, there is only this opportunity. Once the Jin army evacuates, the old emperor and the young emperor will be divided, and there will be no chance to take advantage of the fire to rob. If you seize this opportunity, Li Hu will occupy the entire northwest and hegemony will become. As for the kingly career, then take it slowly and cannot be anxious.

Do you jump to this trap? If you want to jump, you have to take risks. But Li Hu has Daibei and Hedong. Even if he fails in Guanzhong, he can still retreat. However, after this retreat, the northwest becomes the king. Then, Li Hu's situation is very difficult.

Of course, Li Hu had to jump, and he didn't hesitate and just jumped.

"As long as the civil war does not break out in the short term, in just one or two years, you can firmly control the northwest." Tong Guan said, "But the Song Dynasty had the Supreme Emperor, the emperor, and a royal family king who dominated the northwest. This de facto division state would not last long, and the civil war would inevitably break out."

"The Supreme Emperor wants to regain power and Prince Yun becomes the heir of the imperial throne, then their common enemy is the emperor of Bian Jing. The emperor of Bian Jing is in a weak position and will not provoke a civil war easily, but the Jurchens will not miss this opportunity for invasion. They want to fight and take advantage of the split of the Song Dynasty to conquer cities and plunder the land, so your second opportunity will come."

Tong Guan sighed a long sigh and put the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, "Tiger King, can you seize the opportunity?"

Li Hu laughed.

Overnight, the situation changed several times, and even he felt dazzled.

"Tai Shi, can you live to be eighty years old?" Li Hu asked.
