Yang Huairen shook his head and said, "Sure enough, in this case, not only me, but also Xiao Sabi, and even Yelu Hongji, are all the targets of your use." ”

The truth of the matter turned out to be like this, and Yang Huairen could only sigh that he guessed the beginning, but not the end.

Yelu Hongji died like this, and the Liao State will also usher in a new emperor and a new period under the rule of this new emperor.

And Yang Huairen just felt a little dazed in the future, history had completely changed, so he suddenly had a fear of facing the unknown.

What will happen in the future?

The Liao Kingdom has changed the sky, so where will the Great Song Dynasty go? Will it continue in the original historical direction?

So will Yang Huairen's plan to strengthen the country be as he expected, so that the Great Song Dynasty will gradually become stronger in the next few years, and become a country that can compete with the Liao State and become a rich country and a strong people?

Yang Huairen was a little hesitant at first, but after thinking about it carefully, no matter who became the emperor of the Liao State, the ambition of the Jurchen and Mongol tribes in Liao to pursue the rulers of the steppe would not change in the future.

In other words, no matter who is the emperor of Liao, in the next ten years, maybe twenty years, the Liao State will inevitably be in chaos.

If the Great Song Dynasty had become strong at that time, did it mean that the tragedy that had happened in the past would not be staged again?

People should always be optimistic, actively face these changes, and continue to make their own efforts, no matter where their fate will go in the future, they will at least make themselves feel no regrets.

Sister Ghost said meaningfully, "Although you said that we took advantage of you, didn't you get what you wanted when you came to Liao this time?" ”

Yang Huairen asked, "Do you know what I want to get?" ”

Sister Ghost smiled, "I haven't figured it out before, but then Song Xia fought in the west, and I gradually figured it out." You came to Liao this time to make trouble.

You have long seen that Yelu Hongji is getting older and more and more powerless, and the crown prince Yelu Yanxi in the orthodox sense is not a suitable successor.

And there are many powerful competitors in the power center of the Liao State, so a struggle for the throne is inevitable.

You want to take advantage of this to make this already chaotic pool of muddy waters even more chaotic, so that these people can fight for power and profit, so that you can profit from it.

As for your purpose, it should be to prevent the Liao State from sending troops to intervene in the Song-Xia War, because the Song Dynasty's war against the Western Xia this time was definitely not as simple as seeking justice, or asking for the land that had been ceded to the Western Xia before.

This war, the Song Dynasty has been brewing for a long time, the purpose is to take the opportunity to eliminate the Western Xia in one fell swoop, and solve the threat to the northwest of the Song Dynasty for many years once and for all.

At least, they were going to be crippled, injuring the Western Xia, so that they could no longer cause trouble to the Song Dynasty.

But if the Liao State sent troops to intervene, it would be difficult for the Song Dynasty to achieve its plan, and the Liao State had become accustomed to the three-legged situation between the Liao Song and the Western Xia, or rather, it was very happy to see the Western Xia to contain the Song Dynasty.

In this way, the Song Dynasty will always have to abide by the alliance between the Song and Liao, and pay tribute to the Liao State every year, so if the war between the Song and Xia is not large, the Liao State will only watch coldly and wait for the fisherman to benefit.

But if the scale of the war continues to expand to the time when the Western Xia is completely defeated, the Liao State will not sit idly by, and a powerful Great Song Dynasty is something that the Great Liao does not want to see.

This is the purpose of your mission to Liao, am I right? ”

"That's a good point." Since Sister Ghost has seen through everything, Yang Huairen doesn't want to hide it.

"That's exactly what I'm trying to do, and I've done it now. Even if your father, Yelu Bawotai, can successfully ascend to the throne, I believe he will not have the extra energy to take care of the war in the west.

The Liao State is so big, and the power of the big family within the Khitan people is very strong, and if they take it out individually, it may not pose any threat to the imperial court and the throne of Yelu Bawotai, but once they understand your treacherous plan and unite to fight against you, I believe that it will not be so easy for Yelu Bawotai to easily sit on the throne.

This is only the internal and external chaos of the Khitans, and the number of them is unpredictable, those tribes in the grasslands and mountains, do you think they must be willing to accept Yelu Bawotai as the new emperor of the Liao State?

Maybe they won't say anything at first, but there are lyrics called Yang Feng Yin Violation, you know? They are just waiting for the opportunity, if the Khitans are in turmoil, they will take the opportunity to fight for their own interests.

What's more, you don't need me to say more, you also understand what the Khitans have done to them over the years, and it is impossible to expect them to continue to be slaughtered like lambs. ”

Sister Ghost smiled, "Your analysis is also very reasonable, the current situation in Liao, my father really can't ascend the throne with peace of mind, and the intertwined relationship within the Khitan people needs to be reorganized."

Xiao Sabi is dead, but his remnants are still there, and clearing out these remnants of the Xiao rebellion is not a task that can be completed in a year or two.

And those aristocrats, whether they are Khitans, Han Chinese, or other ethnic groups, some need to be appeased, and some need to be suppressed, which is a complicated and tortuous process, which requires time, financial resources and manpower.

Indeed, as you said, in this situation, my father does not have the extra energy to take care of the war between Song and Xia.

But don't forget one thing, it was not easy for the Song Dynasty to eliminate the threat from Western Xia in one fell swoop. Didn't it take the power of the whole country to accomplish such a big thing?

In my opinion, the Song Dynasty used its most elite military strength in the Song-Xia War, does that mean that the Central Plains is empty now?

We Khitans have never been very united, and I can't help but admit this, but in some cases, the Khitans can be unprecedentedly united, do you know what the situation is? ”

Yang Huairen was stunned, and immediately understood the meaning of Sister Ghost's words.

Sister Ghost continued, "If my father immediately went to war against the Song Dynasty and promised those Khitan nobles great war benefits, would they unite to support my father and his decision?"

You should know in your heart that since many Khitan people began to live a life based on farming, in their hearts, how much they envy you in the Great Song Dynasty, you have the best land, countless labor, and abundant products.

These are all what they dream of, if there is also a war between Song and Liao now, do you think the national strength of the Song Dynasty is capable of supporting two major wars on the east and west?

Maybe the Liao State will also pay a lot of price, but who dares to say that in the future, the territory of the Liao State will have an additional Hedong Sixteen Prefectures? ”
