Even if Kang Moji still tried to convince Li Tianqu, don’t think that the Wei Dynasty has the upper hand now, but insisted on fighting. Not only could it not destroy the Khitan, it would only fall into the quagmire of war... However, Li Tianqu clearly wanted the Khitan to directly annex the Wei Dynasty. If he didn’t agree, he would reject it and would not give the Khitan any room for negotiation at all.

Even the prerequisites for negotiations were unacceptable. Li Tianqu waved his hand lazily and told Kang Mo that no matter how much you lose your lips and tongue, it would be useless. It would be better to go back and tell Yelu Deguang earlier and wait for our army to kill to the west building of Linhuang Mansion... It would be like directly banning the order. Since there is no need to discuss, there is no need to continue talking.

Kang Moji knew that he didn't have to run back and forth a few more times. Then the king of the country, Yelu Deguang, decided whether he should continue to negotiate with the Wei Dynasty... Because the conditions offered by the other party before the negotiations were too unreasonable, and the Khitan side could not accept them at all, so he had to leave in disappointment.

Although his opponent is still the Khitan, Yelu Abaoji passed away with regret and regret. Now the monarch of the enemy country has been replaced by the young and powerful Yelu Deguang...

Li Tianqu thought in his heart that after sending away the Khitan envoy Kang Moji, he summoned another civil servant to come to see him. When the man was summoned by Xuan, he asked directly:

"Now, Yelu Deguang has inherited the throne of the Khitan. Although he is only thirty years old, he was cultivated by his father Abaoji, which can also be said to have become famous at a young age. Yelu Deguang deliberately wins you over to be loyal to him, and once intended to be regarded as a confidant. You always obey him at the beginning... There is a way of seeing and observing him. According to your thoughts, is Yelu Deguang considered a wise monarch and a heroic lord?"

When Li Tianqu summoned the man to ask about it, he was naturally the Hanlin officials who were originally appointed as the Minister of Personnel. However, because the Khitan soldiers and horses were burning, killing and looting when they were retreating outside the border, he called on Zhang Li, the Han minister who was guarding the city by several prefectures in the north of Yanyun.

Just like Yelu Abaoji originally regarded Han Yanhui, the Han minister, as his confidant, Yelu Deguang saw that Zhang Li was strong and upright and had a good literary talent, he also planned to promote him from among the Han ministers and become a close minister around him.

But the same thing as Han Yanhui is that although Zhang Li and him were highly valued by the Khitan father and son, they were only homesick and were unwilling to serve foreigners. They ran south with the opportunity... However, Han Yanhui, who was recorded in history, surrendered to the Later Tang court, but because he was hated and persecuted by his colleagues, he had to flee back to the Khitan again. Yelu Abaoji did not blame him, but was overjoyed and gave him the name to Han Yanhui as a box (the meaning of returning to the Khitan language), and he was more respectful;

Zhang Li was caught back, and Yelu Deguang did not blame him. Instead, he was forced to be with Jia Yi by punishing him and placing him with the translation, and left Zhang Li in the Khitan.

However, Han Yanhui, who defected from the Khitan, was directly accepted by the Wei Dynasty. Zhang Li saw that the Khitan was completely defeated, but he still wanted to infringe on the atrocities of the Han people. The Central Plains Wei Dynasty was far stronger and more tough than the Later Jin court, which formed a father-son diplomatic relationship with the Khitan in the official trajectory. He had the strong backer of the Han family, so he was directly forced to rebel, completely breaking with the Khitan, and returning to the Central Plains dynasty...

Although the original fate trajectory is different, through the long-term observation of words and expressions around you, if we talk about the minister who knows the new Khitan master Yelu Deguang best in the Wei Dynasty, it must be this Zhang Li.

Zhang Li rushed to the inner palace to meet him. He heard that Emperor Li Tianqu was straightforward and asked him directly what he thought of Yelu Deguang, who had formed a friendship between the king and the ministers, at that time... After thinking for a while, Zhang Li replied respectfully:

"I think Yelu Deguang is extraordinary and knows people to use it well. When your Majesty asks, he should know that everything is spoken, and he dare not hide it at all. Now the new Khitan master is indeed a powerful lord who can maintain national security and govern the country through martial arts. However... Since ancient times, those who can achieve great things must not only have the talent to be prosperous and prosperous, but also have a strategy to maintain national stability. When encountering major events, they are calm and calm.

Yelu Deguang was very arrogant. His grandson said that he would not be happy when he was defeated, and he would not be discouraged when he was defeated. He would be thunderous and faced like a Pinghu. Now the new Khitan master... He would be forced to force others, and he would be willing to invade and seize. According to my opinion, it would be difficult to win and be discouraged when he was defeated.

After hearing Zhang Li say that, Li Tianqu nodded repeatedly... Because according to his thoughts, he would almost make similar comments about Yelu Deguang, who had recently inherited the Khitan throne.

It is true that according to historical records, during the reign of Yelu Deguang of the Khitan, not only changed the country's name to Liao, but the country was in a stage of rapid development in many aspects such as official system, calendar, military, agriculture, culture, etc. It was also because of his vigorous social reform and his evaluation of Yelu Deguang in historical books that he, the Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, was almost called one of the three most outstanding emperors of the Liao Dynasty, together with his father, Taizu of Liao, Yelu Abaoji, and the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, and Yelu Longxu, the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty.

It was also because of Yelu Deguang's succession that the Khitan changed the situation where the previous defeat was the Later Tang Dynasty and could not expand its territory southward. Not only did they seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, they began to suppress the Central Plains dynasty, but they also supported and destroyed the Later Jin regime, occupied Bianliang for a time, and directly controlled a large area of ​​the Central Plains... Therefore, from the evaluation of later generations, the achievements of Yelu Deguang as the emperor of the Northern Dynasties of Liao Kingdom were also above his father Yelu Abaoji.

However, in Li Tianqu's view, because Yelu Deguang's brother Yelu Be obsessed with Sinology and advocated the complete sinicization of the Khitan, he conflicted with his mother's concept of Shulu's post-Shulu's post-Shulu's concept, and the rift between the mother and son became deeper, and the third brother Yelu Lihu was a typical cruel person... Then he decided to become the heir of the Khitan Empire for Shuluping. The powerful and vicious mother cleared all obstacles in a simple and crude way. During this period, Yelu Deguang himself did not experience any severe tests...

Moreover, Yelu Deguang inherited a vast empire, which was also planted by his predecessors and later generations enjoyed the shade... Previously, the founding emperor Yelu Abaoji conquered the world and opened up the country. After Yelu Deguang ascended the throne, he did not have to cross the river by feeling the way of governing the country by the Han family, and valued the Han ministers for reform... He governed the country in accordance with the general direction of his father's reign, so that the Khitan could basically ensure the continuous development and prosperity of the Khitan.

As for the annexation of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the relationship with the Central Plains dynasty gradually became stronger... Yelu Deguang was still as lucky as he was at the beginning, relying on his opponents to set off, and he didn't have to do anything more. People like Shi Jingtang, Zhao Dejun and others rushed to show their goodwill to the Khitan, hoping to be supported...

The period of Yelu Deguang's reign was also after the death of Li Siyuan, the Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty. The Zhengshuo Dynasty of the Central Plains experienced Li Congke and Shi Jingtang usurped the throne and rebelled, and the internal chaos was in a mess and consumed itself. The country was no longer as powerful as the Khitan who was in power in the south during the reign of Emperor Zhuangzong Li Cunxu. As a large number of famous generals who could conquer and fight were withered, many of them were in power one after another, and they did not bother to lead the wolf into the house, and faced the foreign army and directly chose to surrender.

Therefore, in the official history, Emperor Taizong of Liao Yelu Deguang was indeed good at governing the country and using military forces. However, according to his experience, it can be said that he was too lucky... He was born, including Li Keyong's Thirteen Taibao, and a large number of capable ministers and generals in the Later Tang Dynasty either died or died due to internal fighting. A large number of surrender factions emerged under the Central Plains dynasty.

Li Tianquxin said that taking history as a lesson, Yelu Deguang went south to destroy the Later Jin regime, occupied Bianliang and changed the country's name to Liao, which can be said to be the most prominent time in his life. However, it was precisely during that period that Yelu Deguang also exposed many shortcomings of being a ruler...
