When Han Yanhui realized that Li Tianqu’s attitude was firm, he could not help but continue to mix with him. He heard the current Wei Dynasty Emperor who is in power and said firmly:

"The Huns, Xianbei, Rouran, Turks... Throughout history, any ethnic group in the north has dominated the country, which one has not coveted the Central Plains? The rise and fall of the country, and I cannot ensure that the Wei Dynasty has been in harmony with the people for generations, and it is like a surefire of Mount Tai... Including Yelu Abaoji, if the Khitan king discovers the turmoil in the Central Plains in the future, he will definitely intend to take advantage of the dangers and invade the south.

Therefore, even if the foreign regimes that have risen outside the Great Wall do not dare to be openly enemy of our dynasty, they will inevitably endanger the Han people in the Central Plains in the future. If we want to prevent problems before they happen, the Khitan must be under the rule of our dynasty. Yelu Abaoji will definitely not be willing to surrender, and then I and him are destined to have a fight.

This concerns the safety of the Chinese country for generations. Although the Khitan king treats you with kindness, compared with personal grudges, you must be able to figure it out clearly. The Khitan coveted the land of Youyun and used both soft and hard, which made a large number of Han people become people under the rule. Why couldn’t our Wei Dynasty expand outside the border and make the Khitan completely surrender, and then subtly encourage the national people to become naturalized in the Han and Tang dynasties?

And you went to decide on military affairs and national policies at the Khitan Suffering, and established the Hu-Han division of governance, and was good at formulating national policies, so that the Han people could live with the Khitan and other northern ethnic groups... So I need you to adapt to the times. If you can intimidate the Khitans and then put your head in the governance and comfort, will it be rewarded in the present and future generations?"

...But Han Yanhui left the imperial study room. Although he was still hesitant on his face, he also realized that whether it was to persuade Yelu Abaoji to invade the Central Plains or to persuade Li Tianqu to avoid being enemies with the Khitan... even if he was highly valued, his role was finally very limited.

If only one can make a choice... Han Yanhui thought that as long as he could settle down in the Wei Dynasty, he had abandoned his official position in the Khitan and chose to leave Nanhui... Then he could only be loyal and responsible in the position of the Central Plains dynasty.

Han Yanhui asked himself that he was a civil official after all, and secretly sighed that large-scale national wars between the Khitans were inevitable in the future, and he did not need to fight and fight, and witness the bloody and cruel side of the war... All he could do was to take the Wei Dynasty conquering the Khitan as the premise, and do his best to encourage all tribes outside the border to live in a relatively harmonious way under the rule of the Central Plains dynasty, and then, as Emperor Li Tianqu of Wei said, accelerate the subtle integration between different ethnic groups.

Li Tianqu didn't spend much effort on the person he summoned next... and comforted him for a while, then sent him back out.

When the Jieyan regime was separating the Youyun area, Liu Shouwen, the eldest son of Liu Rengong, the governor of the Lulong Army, was cowardly and incompetent. He was killed by his brothers and had to ask for help from the Khitan. However, he still couldn't stand it. His second son Liu Shouguang was even more lewd and violent, arrogant, and committed adultery with his father's concubine. He launched a mutiny to imprison his father usurped the throne, intending to kill his brother, and was eager to reorganize and become emperor... In fact, Liu Rengong also had a third son, Liu Shouqi, but his presence was not high in both historical records and at this time.

When the Jieyan regime was destroyed, Liu Shouqi fled under the escort of Liu Qufei and surrendered to the Khitan. Seeing that he was the biological descendant of his old rival Liu Rengong, Yelu Abaoji intended to support him as the governor of a town, intending to embezzle Youyun and Heshuozhou Prefecture in the future, and appointed Liu Shouqi to help the Khitan manage the Han people.

However, Liu Shouqi was not in line with the country outside the border and was unwilling to work hard for the Khitan all the time... So he still ran away again according to his proposal to follow Liu Qufei and escaped from the control of the Khitan. Han Yanhui was also under Liu Rengong's tent and was both from the Lu Long Army. Therefore, he ran away from the Khitan together and had to come to join the Wei Dynasty to find a place to settle down.

However, when Li Tianqu met Liu Shouqi, he looked submissive and restless... He thought that after this man re-entered the Central Plains, there was no record of him in historical records. Compared to his two brothers, Liu Shouqi had never committed suicide, but with his character and ability, it is unlikely that he would have done anything great in this world.

He ran away from the Khitan for Liu Shouqi, but did not work hard for foreign tribes to deal with the Central Plains... Li Tianqu said that he was given a mansion according to his elder brother Liu Shouwen who had surrendered to the Heng Navy, so that he could be a rich man, at least he would have no worries about food and clothing in his life... Even if he would not be allowed to be a high-ranking official, he should be content with his elder brother Liu Rengong and his elder brother Liu Shouguang who was taken to Jinyang, Taiyuan by Li Cunxu, and he should be content with this.

What Li Tianqu even more noticed was that he persuaded Liu Shouqi to leave the Khitan and came to join the Wei Dynasty to join Liu Qufei. Because according to the original fate of this person, he would be a member of the Nanping National Think Tank.

In the imperial study room, Li Tianqu looked at Liu Qufei who was respectful to him. He saw that he had a more upright facial features and a heroic face... Compared to the uneasy Liu Shouqi, although Liu Qufei's attitude was respectful, he seemed even more humble and arrogant. I don't know if he had been staying outside the border for a long time, he still had a wildness and blood courage on his body.

Li Tianqu recalled the historical deeds of Liu Qufei. When he was young, he was a county official, and he was a cavalryman, and dared to fight. However, he was brave and cruel, and he had his own habit of being rude... After the fall of Jieyan, Liu Shouqi first defected to the Khitan, and then fled back to the Central Plains, and followed his advice.

Liu Qufeitou was in the Later Liang Dynasty at that time and was named the Sima of the Heyang Army. He was then recommended by Xie Yanzhang to transfer him to the governor of Yingzhou. Until Li Siyuan of the Later Tang Dynasty launched a large-scale counterattack, pacified He and Luo, and Liu Qufei then defected to Nanping Kingdom and changed his name to Wang Baoyi. Since then, he became the confidant counselor of the two generations of kings of Nanping, and was promoted to many successive achievements and served as the governor of the Pingjiang Army and other important positions. The monarch discussed military strategies with him. Whenever he was observing the rules and strategies of sending troops, he would follow his words...

It seems that Liu Qufei is fully capable of serving as military advisors, and he has lived in the territory under the Khitan for some years, so he is more aware of the situation outside the Great Wall.

Now the territory of the Wei Dynasty has expanded to Daibei, Youji and other places. In the future, the northern border should also be wary of Li Siyuan and Khitan's military operations, and also make other arrangements in frontier key areas... With Liu Qufei's ability, it is also very suitable to arrange him to the important military bases of the northern border, to participate in discussions, formulate military strategies, and coordinate military affairs.

Li Tianqu was thinking in his heart, so he smiled at Liu Qufei and said:

"Feed from the Great Wall and returned to the Central Plains, you will inevitably have to be in danger during the journey... But you still told Liu Shouqi to leave together and not be used by foreign tribes, which is valuable. I will naturally promise you a job that can show your strengths, and you can make contributions in the future and get rewards."

After hearing this, Liu Qufei grinned, bowed and nodded, and then said loudly:

"Although we men have a place to settle outside the border, drinking cheese, wearing fur, and acting in the eyes of the Khitan people, how could we live happily? Besides, the Wei minister was originally from Youyan, and seeing that the Khitan ambitions became greater, he rushed his army to invade the south, which caused the old villagers to be at peace...

Although I am not talented, I know that I am not as good as letting the Han people poke the backbone and scolding me as a lackey of the Khitan, but I still have to return to the Central Plains if I have the opportunity. Now I am lucky enough to meet Tianyan and be hired by Your Majesty, and I should make achievements and work with the country, so as to live up to the great emperor's grace!"
