After hearing his lord's veto, An Chonghui was still waiting to persuade him again. Li Siyuan waved his hand and interrupted him in a deep voice:

"If the name of the country is changed, it is just to avoid misfortune, and this is also to bow to the Southern Dynasty... Wouldn't it be that Emperor Wu and the late emperor regarded him as an outsider? The name of the country of Tang was my follower of the adoptive father, and I fought with my brothers, brothers, and close friends together. How could I give up it?"

After talking about it, Li Siyuan seemed even more excited. He slowly stood up, his eyes passed by the generals, and said loudly:

"Even if you are willing to take my position as yourselves, what we want to revive will only be the Tang Dynasty that continues the Martial Emperor and the late emperor! Of course, I am also very clear that now there is no place to stand in the Central Plains, but I still have to regard myself as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, which is inevitable that people will be ridiculed... But at least we must let the world know that even if the late emperor dies and the Wei people have controlled the Jinyang court, our Tang Kingdom has not yet been destroyed!

Although Lu Long's army cannot stay for a long time, the Wei Dynasty and the Khitan were looking forward to killing us soon... However, there were many tribes outside the frontier who resented the Khitan's forced exploitation. Shatuerlang had already fought a lot of worlds outside the frontier, so we temporarily endured and withdrew from the pass. He summoned all tribes in his old land, endured humiliation and strengthened his momentum, and one day he waited for an opportunity to return to the Central Plains!

At that time, of course, we still have to raise the banner of Tang. We must also let the Hedong subjects who have surrendered to the Southern Dynasty know that their homeland is still there. I have inherited the country of Xianzu, Wuhuang, and the former emperor, and the land and people that have been lost now... we will sooner or later take it back!"

Li Siyuan motivated the generals in front of him as much as possible, and after this, he revealed the plan he had formulated to get rid of the predicament and make another world:

He gave up the few remaining territory in the Later Tang Dynasty, led all his troops to continue northward, and retreated to the north of the Frontier. In this way, he would no longer be encircled by the Wei army, but would try his best to win over other tribes in the north, fight against the Khitan, and expand his sphere of influence outside the Frontier... Of course, everything is to fight back to the Central Plains one day and regain the former territory of the Later Tang Dynasty.

But in this way, Li Siyuan, the emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty who nominally claimed that he had inherited the throne of Li Keyong and Li Cunxu, was more like a Khan who set up a den of a royal court on the grassland and was relocated everywhere... and this time he had to retreat to the outside of the border, who knew when he would be able to kill him?

Some generals present believed that in the current situation, they were indeed the only way to do so. Faced with the suppression of the Wei Dynasty and the Khitans, there was no room for development and growth, and they could not say when they would be killed by the enemy army... and retreated to the north of the Great Wall, you only had to face the unilateral pressure from the Khitans. Of course, the situation was still not optimistic, but it was better than staying here and being chased and encircled by the Wei Dynasty.

As for the nomadic life of living by pursuing water and grass... Didn’t our Shatuo ancestors survive that too?

However, some Shatuo generals still hesitate, and their eyebrows were filled with reluctance... After all, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. All generals from Shatuo clan knew that if they returned to the north of the Saibei region and rely on nomads to make a living, they would have to migrate thousands of miles every year to prevent white disasters and black disasters. After all, the Central Plains is more prosperous and they have already moved to settle down. If they return to their youth, or their ancestors and parents' lives, it would be too hard.

Moreover, in the face of the suppression of the Khitan, whether it can make a comeback outside the Great Wall, and having enough strength to return to the Central Plains is still a matter of two reasons. Even if there is a chance, the time for hard work will inevitably be quite long... I have to go to the northern part of the Great Wall to live a hard life, and when can I return to the Central Plains? Ten years or twenty years? Or is it destined to be buried in the bitter and cold land outside the Great Wall, and it is impossible to return to the place we already regard as our hometown in this life?

Transfer to the outside of the Great Wall, start from scratch, operate for a long time, first strive to defeat the Khitan, and then consider returning to the Central Plains... This is also the only way out that Li Siyuan can think of. However, although some military generals have decided to follow him to revive the Later Tang Dynasty, they are unwilling to go outside of the Great Wall to suffer for more than ten or twenty years... So someone made another plan and tried to convince Li Siyuan to adopt his proposal:

"...Your Majesty, I think it will be extremely difficult to move to the outside of the Great Wall and plan to return to the Central Plains. After all, if the Emperor of Wei is allowed to win the hearts of the people, we have been working hard in the northern part of the Great Wall for many years, and we don't know what the situation in the Central Plains will be... Will we have to wait until we are old and old, and half of the land will be lost? I have another plan. We don't have to move to the northern part of the Great Wall. In these few years, we may not have the chance to regain our territory..."

Li Siyuan was surprised to see the man who made a suggestion... Because his confidant and son-in-law Shi Jingtang was taciturn, and although he would also give advice around him, Li Siyuan couldn't think of any other way to revive the Later Tang Dynasty in a few years... He looked at Shi Jingtang with doubt, then nodded and said:

"If you really have a good idea, it's okay."

Although Shi Jingtang was usually less silly than laughter, in order to persuade Li Siyuan, he immediately started talking and began to say:

"The reason why our country's national situation turned sharply was that, in addition to the late emperor favoring treacherous and slandering, which caused the soldiers and the people's grievances... It was also because the Khitan coveted the land of Yanyun in the north and the Wei Dynasty in the south. It was so invaded by the enemy from both sides and the fierce battle with one side, it was easy to take advantage of the situation for the other side. In the previous battle with the Wei Dynasty, the Khitan took the opportunity to invade the territory of our vassal states such as Zhenwu and Lulong, causing various armies to lose sight of each other, and were seized by the Emperor of Wei to defeat them in one go, and they were inevitably defeated in a complete defeat...

But now the Lu Long army was divided by the Wei Dynasty and the Khitan, and their territory was adjacent to each other. Yelu Abaoji must have been favored by Shu, and still coveted Nangu, and intends to invade Yanyun and Heshuo Chuzhou Prefectures; Emperor Li Tianqu thought he was domineering in the Central Plains and was rude to be upright, and he was even more arrogant and arrogant... How could he tolerate the foreign enemy's momentum to invade Central Earth? Therefore, the Wei Dynasty and Khitan would probably turn against each other soon.

The reason why Yelu Abaoji took advantage of the situation to invade south repeatedly was that our dynasty was blocked, which made the Khitan unable to expand its territory south. Now the Wei Dynasty is now facing the Khitans... In the past, our dynasty was attacked from both sides and faced with strong enemies from both sides, but now why don’t we use the means of driving tigers and swallowing wolves to repair it with one side and then work together to attack the other side?"

Shi Jingtang continued to talk, but he didn't notice that Li Siyuan probably heard his eyebrows and his face suddenly sank, and his expression became more and more ugly... He then talked:

"As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge, it's not too late for ten years... Even if the Khitan has a grudge with our dynasty, the Wei Dynasty is His Majesty's top enemy. Now our army might as well send envoys to the Khitan, and on the surface they say they are willing to surrender to Abaoji. If the Khitan wants to fight against the Wei Dynasty, they will definitely try their best to protect our army and in order to invade the south in the future.

In this way, Your Majesty does not have to retreat to the frontier, but uses the Khitan to plan several prefectures in the Heshuo area, recruit soldiers and horses, and manage them well, and is more confident in regaining the territory that our Tang Kingdom has fallen... But I dared to persuade Your Majesty to be condescending for the sake of ambition and hegemony, and make the Khitan think that our army is really willing to surrender... and to endure this humiliation, as long as we can revitalize our Tang Kingdom's foundation, we will definitely be against the Khitan in the future..."

However, before Shi Jingtang finished speaking, Li Congke, who was sitting cross-legged next to him, snorted heavily and then said angrily:

"You are talking nonsense. After all, aren't you planning to persuade Your Majesty to submit to the Khitan? You can still think of it! The Wu Emperor hated Abaoji for betrayal, and the Khitan was not only a criminal offender, but also amassed a large army to invade the south again and again. It has long been a great hatred for our dynasty! If you propose to submit to the Khitan, don't say that it is just a temporary stopgap... What's the difference between this and the recognition of a thief as a father!?"
