"The question now is not whether we can defend Hebei, but whether Bian Jing is willing to defend Hebei."
Li Gang said this after all. Whether it is the Northwest Army or the Tiger and Steve Army, the strength is still good. The two armies can definitely block the Jin army and even defeat the Jin army. But now the strategy of Bian Jing has changed. It is not to be a war, but to be a peace. The emperor drove Li Gang and Zhong Shidao out of Bian Jing, which is an example.
At that time, the deposed emperor Zhao Heng was swaying between the main battle and the main peace, first in the main peace, then in the main war. The battle was defeated and then in the main peace, which led to chaos in the court. With the help of the Northwest Army and the Tiger Lieutenant Army, Zhao Kai easily seized the throne. One of the most important reasons was that the main peace was unpopular. Now that Zhao Kai's throne has not yet been in a hot position, he has changed his course and has to discuss peace, and even intends to ced the entire Hebei and rule with the Jin Kingdom. Isn't this a slap in his own mouth?
The Northwest Army now has great opinions about the emperor and the court, and the Han King Li Hu was even more resentful. Li Hu and the Northwest people finally pushed Zhao Kai to the throne, but he turned his face and refused to recognize others, kicked Li Hu and the Northwest people aside, and turned to trust Tong Guan and Zhang Bangchang. The result can be imagined.
Since the emperor and the court want to negotiate peace, they will not be determined to fight, and peace talks cannot anger the Jin people. Then they will naturally be reeling on the battlefield, and they will also be very sincere to the soldiers on the front line. The consequence of the sincere elbow is that the front line will be defeated repeatedly, and the repeated defeats will lead to the emperor and the court that distrust the army and are more determined to negotiate peace. If such a vicious cycle continues, Bianjing will inevitably be in chaos.
"Want to be in chaos in Bianjing?" Although Zong Ze was old, he had always been a small official and had never even been a Beijing official. He had a shallow understanding of Bianjing and had no clear concept of the complex struggles in the court. Therefore, it was difficult for him to believe that when the Song Dynasty reached this dangerous point, Bianjing would be in chaos and would kill each other.
"The King of Han wants to rebel?" Ze subconsciously thought that if Bian Jing was in chaos, it must have something to do with Li Hu.
Li Gang and Liu shook their heads at the same time.
This matter is very complicated to explain, including the conflict between the emperor, the Tong and the Northwest people, the contradiction between the main war and the main war and the conflict between the ministers and the generals, and Li Hu was staring at the side with ulterior motives... etc. In short, even Li Gang could not explain clearly, and even impossible to predict how the next situation would develop. But one thing is certain that Bian Jing insisted on peace talks. If Bian Jing continued to elbow the Northwest Army and kept sending the Northwest Army to a dead end, if Li Hu was reluctant to go to the Hebei battlefield, Bian Jing would definitely be in chaos, and it would be a big chaos.
"You have been by the King of Han for a few years. You should know him." Zong Ze said. "Is it impossible for you to convince the King of Han and ask him to reinforce Hebei quickly? As long as the Hebei local war is won, then the voice of the peace talks in Bianjing will naturally be small. The big reason why Bianjing insists on peace talks is because our local army retreats step by step on the battlefield. If we defeat the Jin army, will Hebei and Youyanjing be regained?"
Li Gang smiled bitterly. Liu felt even more ridiculous. Zong Ze was so straightforward that he was almost innocent.
To defeat the Jin army, how much does the Tiger and the West cost? The Tiger and the Northwest Army suffered heavy losses and great losses in strength. Can Bianjing still keep Li Hu? Can the Northwest people show their power? Today, the emperor seized the throne with abnormal means. He could not tolerate Li Hu and the Northwest people threaten the country's destiny based on this. Since Li Hu and the Northwest people can support him to the throne, they can naturally support others to the throne. The emperor cannot be unprepared. Of course, he killed them completely to avoid endless troubles. However, since Li Hu and the Northwest people dared to risk the danger of chaoticism and chaos in the country, they would certainly be careful to prevent Zhao Kai from killing the donkey. They would never be so idiotic that they would defeat themselves.
Bianjing is now a game of deadly chess. He must abandon his son. The emperor wants to abandon his son. Li Hu and the people in the northwest also want to abandon his son. No one in the three sides can give in. Whoever retreats will die.
Li Gang and Liu dared not say this. After thinking for a long time, Li Gang decided to ask Liu to go to Luoyang and try to convince Li Hu. It is obviously impossible to expect Li Hu to send troops to Hebei. But it can be persuaded to "abandon your son" as soon as possible and solve the situation in Bianjing. Then they work together to fight to the death with the Jin army. If they drag on this, everyone will be done together. I believe Li Hu doesn't want to see such an ending.
"In the past few months, I have recruited many rebels in Cizhou, Xiangzhou and Weizhou. There are about 100,000 troops." Zong Ze saw that Li Gang and Liu were both determined to be the landlords. So he put forward another suggestion. "Can you two request Bianjing to allocate some money, grain and weapons to these rebel soldiers?"
Li Gang really couldn't laugh anymore. Mr. Zong, Yue Fei and the Hebei rebel army fought so many battles, but the court refused to admit it, so you should not think about it.

On the 27th, Daming Prefecture, Hebei.
Zhe Keqiu, Wang, Zhang Sizheng, Zhang |: and others rushed to Xuanfusi to pay homage to Zhong Shidao. The four generals agreed and they could not divide their troops. If they were divided, they would be defeated.
Master Zhong
Face, sitting behind the desk, without saying a word.
What could he say? Bianjing made up his mind to kill the people in the northwest, and the people in the northwest had to bite the bullet and rush forward in the face of the attack of the Jin army. Now we cannot give up Yao Gu and the 50,000 soldiers, let alone Hebei. Although we know that this is Bianjing's killing plan by using a knife, what else can we do besides putting our heads into the guillotine? We shouldn't rebel now and turn our horses to kill Bianjing, right? Now we kill Bianjing, kill Tong Guan and Zhang Bangchang and a group of treacherous slanders, but Yao Gu and the 50,000 soldiers were finished, Hebei was finished, and even Bianjing was finished, and the Northwest Army will become a sinner of the Song Dynasty, leaving thousands of infamous for thousands of years.
I would rather die in the battlefield than abandon the country's destiny, nor would I bear the crime of losing my country for thousands of years.
"Abide by Your Majesty's imperial edict." Master Zhong spit out a few words with difficulty, and then his face turned pale, feeling like he was pierced by a long sword. Then there was a severe pain in his chest, and he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Zhong Shuai..." Zhe Keqiu and others were shocked and swarmed around.
"I killed them all..." Zhong Dao lay in Zhe Keqiu's arms, and two lines of old tears fell sadly, "I am guilty. I killed Duan Ru (Zhong Shizhong). I killed Yao Shuai. I will kill you. I will kill those innocent soldiers in the northwest. I am guilty..." Zhong Dao screamed in pain, opened his mouth and sprayed blood again, and fainted immediately.

For his loyalty, Zhong Shidao sacrificed his brothers and brothers, his family army and his robes, but not all the Northwest generals were like the Zong family.
The Northwest General Sect is a complex group, each general has its own way of survival, and the Zhe family is one of the prominent representatives. The Zhe family has existed in the northwest for more than 400 years. If they were as stupid and loyal as the Zhong family and regard their family and the warriors who follow their families as sacrifices that can be sacrificed at will, the Zhe family would have long been destroyed.
The Zhe family could fight for the Song Dynasty, but the Zhe family would definitely succumb to the power of the Zhao family's Song Dynasty and make meaningless sacrifices, and even compensate the entire family and the Zhe family army.
Zhe Keqiu sat in Master Zhong, silently looking at the old and painful face, looking at the wrinkles that were deeply trapped by excessive hard work, his heart was bleeding.
In recent years, in a war launched by Bianjing, under Tong Guan's command again and again, in order to satisfy the selfish desires of the old emperor and a group of ministers, how many Northwest generals have lost? How many Northwest warriors have buried their bones in the battlefield? But what did the Northwest people get? What did the Song Dynasty get? Repeated failures and deaths, the Northwest people cry in pain, the Song Dynasty moaned in pain, while Bianjing was debauchery on the bones, drinking the blood of the Northwest people again and again... Enough, the Northwest people are worthy of the Zhao family royal family, the Zhao Song Dynasty, and their conscience. Since the Zhao family wants to perish in madness, let him go, but the Northwest people will never be the burial of the Zhao family.
Zhong Shidao slowly opened his eyes, saw the bitter murderous aura in Keqiu's eyes, and saw the anger and determination on his face. As the largest and strongest local tyrant in the northwest, the Zhe family has stood firm for more than 400 years. One of the most important reasons is that every time at a critical moment, the Zhe family can produce an amazing person and make the right choice for the Zhe family.
This time, Zhejia made a choice, and Zhejia made a choice. Master Zhong could feel the pain of that choice, but Zheke did not hesitate to insert the sword into his body, enduring the pain in his heart, either died in pain or was reborn in pain.
"Call for help from the Tiger King..." Mr. Zhong grabbed Zhe Keqiu's hand with difficulty and begged in a low voice.
Zhe Keqiu shook his head and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly a few times, "Bianjing will pay the price for the death of the people in the northwest."
Zhong Shidao closed his eyes in pain. From this moment on, the Zhe family finally broke with Bianjing, and the Zhe family was the banner of the northwest people. The break between the Zhe family and Bianjing will affect the entire northwest general in a short period of time. The break between the northwest people and Bianjing is inevitable and there is no possibility of recovery.
"Save Yao Shuai, rescue them..." Zhong Shidao felt exhausted, exhausted, his body was getting colder, and his body gradually became colder and he could no longer hold on.
Zhe Keqiu knelt down and gritted his teeth and said, "I swear to you that I will rescue Yao Shuai. Even if he is crushed to pieces, he will move forward."
Zhong Shidao trembled his hands and pointed at his own sword.
Zhe Keqiu lay down on the ground and kowtowed respectfully, "Uncle Zhong, take care of yourself."
Zhe Keqiu jumped up, grabbed Zhong Shidao's sword, and rushed out.
Outside the house, Wang, Zhang Sizheng, Zhang |: When a group of generals saw Zhe Keqiu walking out with murderous aura with the sword of Master Zhong, they stood up straight and stood solemnly.
