"Although Li Yazi is an enemy of me, the Jin people were originally in Hedong, controlling Yunzhong, and then occupying Lulong's army to connect Youyun areas, which is also a barrier to blocking the invasion of foreign ethnic groups in the Central Plains... Now, our Wei Dynasty has replaced the Jin people, occupying the only way for foreign ethnic groups in the north of the border to enter the Central Plains...

You discussed major events with the Khitan king before, and I guess you have also mentioned that if you were close neighbors with our Wei Dynasty, what would the Khitan plan in the future?”

When we met the Emperor of Wei, we had a very harmonious conversation. But when Han Yanhui heard Li Tianqu suddenly ask, his face stagnated, thinking that what should come will always come...

As the founder of the Khitan's policy of implementing the Hu-Han division of the country, and in the war to conquer the Wei tribes, Han Yanhui knew that he had made great contributions to the plan... Since he had the authority to participate in deciding internal and external affairs in the Khitan, he has now turned to the Wei Dynasty and of course he would be asked about some internal secrets.

A hint of hesitation seemed to pass away in Han Yanhui's eyes. He was grateful for the past support of Yelu Abaoji, but since he also decided to return to the Central Plains, the most taboo was to sway left and right... After hesitating for a moment, Han Yanhui replied respectfully:

"This time the Khitan sent troops to the south, took the opportunity to occupy Youyan and Zhenwu prefectures. It was also because the country's subject was observing and his majesty and the Jin lord had all the troops and wanted to fight to the death, so he thought that the opportunity was not missed, so he dispatched the main army and embezzled the territory under the rule of the Jin people as much as possible. In fact, he was defeated by Li Yazi before. The Khitan ruled the mistakes and lamented that the heaven had not allowed him to advance his army to go south... If it weren't for Wei and Jin's battle, even if the Khitan invaded the border, he would still be dominated by enemies and plundering the people, and would not gather a large army and rashly conquer the city and siege the land.

The Wei Dynasty was a great country with a greater military strength than the Jin people. Of course, the Khitan did not dare to seize food from the tiger's mouth, and intended to seize the territory occupied by the Wei Dynasty. However, the Khitan king also ordered that the senior officials who were in charge of Heshuo's military and civilian management must be closely watched...

However, at the moment, seeing that the Bohai Kingdom's power declined, the Khitan dispatched his troops to fight eastward, and wanted to annex the entire territory under the rule of the Haidongsheng Kingdom in the past, but had no time to look south at the Central Plains, and would definitely not rashly start a war with the Wei Dynasty in the near future."

Li Tianqu nodded when he heard this, and then said with a smile:

"I understand that as long as the situation in our dynasty is stable, the Khitan king certainly dare not raise troops to go south again. But now he still has not given up completely, just waiting for a change in the Central Plains, hoping that there will be an opportunity to take advantage of it. But if the Khitan gets what he wants, he can successfully annex the Bohai Kingdom... and conquers that country with a population of more than three million, Abaoji will not dare to declare war on our dynasty because of his ambitions...

Although Yiwu, Shuofang, Zhaoyi, and even the prefectures and other prefectures have all submitted their condemnation to our dynasty, they still retain their autonomy. The Khitan is concerned about the situation in the northern borders of our dynasty. Once they have the chance, they will still take advantage of the troubled waters. Since they have been remembered, how could I remain indifferent? Yelu Abaoji has already touched the Youyun prefectures and coveted the land of Yanzhao... Why doesn't our dynasty want to regain Lu Long and Zhenwu was the military prefectures occupied by the Khitan, and then recover the entire territory of the two major Shanyu and Andong during the Tang Dynasty?"

After hearing Li Tianquhao's statement, Han Yanhui's expression changed again, and then his expression became increasingly difficult... At present, the Wei Dynasty and the Khitan divided the territory of the Later Tang Dynasty, and they were also very unhappy because of the dispute over the ownership of the prefectures in the Youyun territory. The Wei Emperor Li Tianqu wanted to drive the Khitan outside the pass, but Yelu Abaoji would not only never spit out the meat he ate in his mouth, but he would continue to expand south if the time was right... Although the two sides had not yet broken completely, they could not reach a consensus at all, and the conflict would only become more and more acute in the future.

As a result, Han Yanhui heard Li Tianqu say that the Wei Dynasty would regain the entire territory under the jurisdiction of the two major governors established by the Tang court of the previous dynasty... What does that mean? It is equivalent to the territory currently ruled by the Khitan and was planning to conquer, all of which were within the scope of the Wei Dynasty's future occupation.

In other words, the Wei Dynasty not only would not tolerate the Khitan's covetous targeting the Central Plains, but even the large tracts of territory outside the Great Wall would be defeated sooner or later!

Although he ran away from the Khitan Kingdom because of his homesickness, Han Yanhui still appreciated the kindness of Yelu Abaoji. For him, the ideal state was that the Khitan and the Central Plains dynasty could best control one side and be at peace. Although Han Yanhui certainly did not know, according to his original fate, the Chanyuan alliance reached by the Song and Liao countries forty-five years after his death... but the state of the state of the north and the south without fighting for a hundred years, the people who did not know the war on the border, but who were at peace with each other was the most perfect according to Han Yanhui's position.

However, after confirming Li Tianqu's intention, Han Yanhui realized that the Wei Dynasty and the Khitans would eventually break out in a war related to the survival of the country in the future, which was inevitable... When he was in the Khitan, he tried hard to persuade Yelu Abaoji not to invade the south, but now he has been following the Wei Dynasty, and he has plans to persuade Li Tianqu not to invade the Khitan... With a bitter face, Han Yanhui said again:

"Your Majesty, the Khitan is not the same as the Jin people... After all, the Li family in Hedong intends to enter the Central Plains and declares that it will continue the ancestral temples of the previous dynasty. It is the day when the country has no two masters, and it is necessary to lead the army to the north to destroy the pseudo-chapel.

The Khitan was apart from the Central Plains and recognized that Your Majesty was the King of the King, so it would not pose a direct threat to the Wei Dynasty... Weighing the ways to fight against foreign countries and stabilize the country, the lower level has not been unified today. Although Your Majesty has ambitions, he intends to recover the territory under the rule of the two major protectors of the former Shanyu and Andong.

However, the Khitan rose outside the border and swallowed all tribes of the northern tribes, and now it is in full swing. If you insist on becoming enemies with it, you will be afraid of killing and killing for years in the future, and you will be afraid of consuming troops and horses in vain and wasteing the people and money, but you will be half the result with twice the effort.

After all, Li Siyuan recruited the remnants of the Jin army and still called himself the Emperor of Tang, and was a mortal enemy of the Wei Dynasty and the Khitan. I think... I still have to try my best to appease the Khitan and ensure peace in the frontier to prevent Li Siyuan from attacking the border. However, when there is room for negotiation with the Khitan king, we should not use any wars..."

As soon as Han Yanhui finished speaking, Li Tianqu sneered and said:

"I want to send troops to the north, of course I should not act too rush, and I will not declare war on the Khitan rashly. However, the reason why our Wei Dynasty had room for negotiation with the Khitan was that it was because of its strong troops and strong horses, so that the foreigners from the Great Wall were afraid! At present, Yelu Abaoji was marching his troops eastward and planning to embezzle the entire territory of the Bohai Kingdom, which was only a compromise with our dynasty for the time being.

But if the situation in the Central Plains is more turbulent and our country's national strength declines... do you think the Khitan is willing to withdraw his troops? And do you think I still have room for negotiation with the Khitan? At the beginning, the Jin leader Li Yazi tried his best to appease Yelu Abaoji and focused on confronting our country, but what happened later?

I can understand your difficulties, after all, I have been treated well by the Khitan king. For you, I am unwilling to sit idly by the Khitan people in the Central Plains. If the Central Plains dynasty wants to conquer the Khitan, it will inevitably cut off the destiny of the Yelu clan, and you will inevitably feel unbearable...

But when you were still in the Khitan, you repeatedly dissuaded Yelu Abaoji from sending troops south, which was useless. Although the Khitan was unwilling to be an enemy of our court, they would still secretly plot... Then I naturally could not be careful and should come up with a solution once and for all to eliminate the hidden dangers outside the Great Wall that threatened the Central Plains!"
