Yelu Chun waved and asked the three of them to sit beside him.

"Why did you fail?" Yelu Chun asked Xiao Gan. Xiao Gan looked ashamed and bowed his head without saying a word.

"Because you are King Xi, you have to consider the safety of the Great Liao Kingdom. When you fight, you are not considering the most about the defense line of Targasus Mountain, but the palace tent, and the situation of the entire Great Liao Kingdom. So, you failed."

A trace of warmth suddenly passed by Xiao Gan's cold heart, and his eyes suddenly turned red. He looked at Yelu Chun gratefully, his lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say a few words of gratitude, but he was choked up. Yelu Chun, who was the kings of Kou Guan, was different from others. He reached the root of the failure of the Battle of Tribulus Mountain in one sentence, and also made Xiao Gan cry.

Indeed, if Xiao Gan was just an army commander, he would never attack rashly. He just had to defend Mount Targas, but he was King Xi, and he had to consider the situation in the Great Liao Dynasty and the Eastern Expedition. The result was good, and he was wrong step by step.

"The same is true for me. I cannot just consider the gains and losses of this battle. I must carefully weigh the pros and cons. Sometimes I have to defeat the battle. For example, the defeat of the Tribulus Mountain last year directly led to the humiliation of the peacekeepers and the Jin people during the peace negotiation process. Wanyan Aguda not only wanted to be the emperor, but also wanted the princes, princesses, son-in-laws and ministers to be hostages. This incident made the emperor furious and cut off his mind to discuss peace negotiations. While he was vain and condoned the Jin people, he secretly supported me to launch an Eastern Expedition."

"We worked hard for a year, and Dashi even traveled thousands of miles to go on a mission to Xixia, persuaded the Emperor of Xixia to send troops to attack Song to restrain the Song people and cut off the Song people's desire to join forces with Jin to attack Liao. However, man's plan is not as good as heaven's plan. The sudden rise of the Liaodong rebel army disrupted our deployment, and the Eastern Expedition was even more successful."

Yelu Chun paused for a moment, his eyes showed a bitter look. "Please look at the current situation and then think about the fate of the Great Liao Kingdom. What are your strategies to turn the tide?"

The current situation is the rise of the Jin people. Relying on the prefectures and counties on the Northeast Road, their population and financial resources have grown rapidly, and gradually formed a stalemate with the Khitans.

At the same time, the Liaodong rebel army rose again and broke through the south, directly threatening the safety of the Great Liao Dynasty.

The Liao Dynasty was worried about internal and external troubles. Even the century-old ally Song Dynasty was extremely worried and coveted Yan Yun, and secretly formed an alliance with the Jin people. They wanted to join forces to attack Liao.

The enemies were all ready to move, opening their bloody mouths, while the Liao court was trapped in the main battle, the main peace, and the imperial regime. The emperor and the ministers did not work together, but fought each other, completely ignoring the safety of the country and only caring for their own interests, like a beast trapped in a cage, struggling to death. They began to be crazy at the end.

The third Eastern Expedition had actually failed. The pro-war faction tried to save the Da Liao from the battlefield and failed again. Faced with today's severe situation, the emperor's patience was exhausted. He might lower his arrogant head, accept the strategy of the peacemaker, recognize the rise of the Jin people, and recognize the Jurchens' kingdom status. He cedes part of the land in exchange for peace. He also used the existing territory to form a staggering momentum with the Song, Jin and Liao, in order to protect the great Liao country.

Can the strategy of peace-minded territory protect the great Liao Kingdom?

No one knows what will happen in the future, but using the shame of the Khitans to preserve the country will seriously damage the morale of the Khitans, people's hearts will be lost, and military morale will be lost. How long can a country have no backbone, no dignity, and no soul?

The Jurchens were a wolf that could not be fed, while the Song people were a tiger. Can the Khitans survive safely under the attack of tigers and wolves?

Yelu Chun was unwilling to fail and was unwilling to admit his failure. He wanted to use his own way to save the Daliao Kingdom. He made a decision that he would control the palace tent, otherwise the struggles within the Daliao would never end, and the Daliao would collapse in these struggles.

The third Eastern Expedition failed before it even began, and there was no chance to save the Liao Dynasty. This seriously damaged the confidence of the war faction, but more seriously, the peace faction once again gained the upper hand. In order to smooth peace talks, the emperor and peace faction ministers would drive all the warite ministers out of the palace tent and transfer them out of the army.

Therefore, the most urgent task is war. Only war can allow the ministers of the warlord to stay in the palace tent as much as possible and continue to govern the army as much as possible.

The Jin people need peace talks, because the Jin people need time to recuperate and accumulate strength to develop and grow, so the Jurchens will not take the initiative to start a war.

Then, only the existence of the rebels can continue the war. The stronger the rebels are, the greater the momentum, the more critical the situation will be. There will be more Liao troops encircled and suppressed in this way, and there will be more troops controlled by the pro-war faction. Only in this way can the pro-war faction have the strength and the opportunity to control the palace tent.

At the same time, the warlords need more time to control the palace tent. Who will give this time? The longer the rebels encirclement and suppression time, the longer the ministers of the warlords stayed in the palace tent, and Yelu Chun had more time to implement the plan to control the palace tent.

In addition, the strength of the rebels and the difficulty of encirclement will force the emperor and the peace ministers to be more eager to negotiate peace. They may even agree to the Jin Dynasty's request and recognize and enthrone Wanyan Aguda as the emperor. This extremely cowardly and shameless behavior will anger some of the Khitan powerful people, which is very helpful for Yelu Chun to control the palace tent.

The three people in the tent are all the absolute confidants of Yelu Chun. The reason why Yelu Yuji and Xiao Ta asked Yelu Chen Tunu to make suggestions was because Chen Tunu's persuasion was more effective than their persuasion.

After hearing Yelu Chun's words, the three of them knew that he had finally made up their minds to control the palace tent, and they were all very happy. This matter should have been done long ago, but Yelu Chun looked forward and was indecisive. Until today he was in a desperate situation and was unable to protect himself, so he had to fight back.

It's very simple. Even if Yelu Chun eliminates the rebels, there will be no third Eastern Expedition, because Yelu Mage and Xiao Gandi were defeated, which will once again give the Liao army a fatal blow. The emperor and the peace sect had a trace of fantasy, hoping that the war sect would fight to the tone and win several battles with force. In this way, even if peace is negotiated, the Liao people would have the confidence to bargain, but now they can't even defeat the rebels and were beaten to annihilate the entire army by a group of rebels. Such a commander and army can still launch the Eastern Expedition, defeat the Jurchens and recover the country? That's a joke.

Since he is determined to trade land for peace, then the pro-war faction is a stumbling block, and Yelu Chun, the leader of the pro-war faction, is the first to be hit. If he does not take him away, the peace talks will surely be in chaos.

Of course, Yelu Chun would not be tied up, and he was even more unwilling to see the Great Liao Dynasty ruined by a group of treacherous slander, so he wanted to fight back.

How to fight back? This is the most concerned issue for the three people.

Should you launch a mutiny and be the emperor yourself, or should you establish the imperial rule first and then force the emperor to abdicate?

Yelu Chun chose the latter, and he was unwilling to bear the reputation of usurping until his death.

The current emperor has four sons, the eldest son, King Zhao, King Jin, King Qin, and King Xu. Who will be the crown prince?

Yelu Chun was silent and unwilling to say it.

In fact, all three of them have a clear mind. The crown prince must be in charge of the war, otherwise what should he do if he is the emperor? But after Yelu Chun returned to the palace tent, he had to discuss privately with some ministers of the lords and sent to join forces as much as possible in order to successfully resolve the dispute over the imperial rule. At this moment, civil strife must not break out, which is a disaster for the country to destroy the country. Therefore, when using the encirclement and suppression of the rebels, firmly control the army and ensure the safety of the country's destiny is the top priority.

Now everyone knows that the real purpose of Yelu Chun launching the Battle of Chengzhou is known.

Thinking about it, Xiao Gan did a good thing, which not only made Yelu Chun spit out a mouthful of blood and woke up, but also decided to take action to turn the tide. Otherwise, I would not know when this matter would be delayed.

Xiao Gan was working again, and his spirits were soaring that he waited for this day and his hair turned white.

Xiao Degong and Yelu Chen Tunu looked at each other and couldn't help but have a hint of suspicion of Xiao Gan. Did King Xi's entire army be wiped out on purpose? If it weren't for the defeat of Mount Tarritory, Yelu Chun would never have taken action.

"How do I reply?" Chen Tunu asked.

"If the matter of the Imperial Union is not resolved, the rebels cannot be destroyed. In this way, we can firmly control the army and place the army on Zhongjing Road to defend the Jin army head-on." Yelu Chun's voice was a little hoarse and very tired. Obviously, the plan to draw up this strategy also exhausted his efforts. "You convey this meaning to Yu Ji and Ta, but don't tell the matter of the Imperial Union, just hint at it."

"The purpose of this battle today is to conquer Tongchang City and recover Chengzhou. In any case, the Jin army cannot enter Zhongjing Road, and the Jin army cannot directly threaten the southeast road and county from the direction of Chengzhou."

Yelu Chun thought for a while and added: "If we lost Chengzhou, the Jin army could threaten Xingzhong Prefecture in the southwest and Jinzhou in the southeast. This would give strong support to the southbound rebels, so we must firmly control the Southeast Road. If we control the Southeast Road, we can control the rebels. When the time is right, we can recruit and appease them. Most of these rebels are Han people from Liaodong. They are eager to return to their hometown and live a peaceful life. As long as they meet their wishes, it is absolutely no problem to recruit and appease them, so that we can get an army for the Eastern Expedition."

Chen Tunu nodded repeatedly.

"There is another point, you must tell them." Yelu Chun said, "The loss of Chengzhou, and the Daling River line will then become a battlefield for the Liao army, Jin army and rebels to fight, Xingzhong Prefecture, Chuanzhou, Qianzhou, Yizhou... Until Jinzhou, the people in all these places will be poisoned by the fire of war. The people will be displaced, starved and hungry, people will compete to eat, and rebellions will swarm in. At that time, we will not only be unable to control the rebels, but even the entire Zhongjing Road will be in danger."
