Chapter 231 Who to Believe(2/2)

A simple dialogue determined the survival of the Khitan tribe.

But the meaning of this conversation is not just that simple.

Xu Minglang's words were an attempt to prevent the war from continuing.

The Khitan Khan has been willing to personally apologize, which shows how the war will look like. As long as the Khitan tribe still has vitality and can resist the Yanmen Army, they will not make this choice.

In other words, as long as the war continues, the Khitan tribe will be destroyed by the Yanmen Army. How much military merit will the Yanmen Army produce by then? How much wealth will the Zhao family plunder and how much will it strengthen itself when it destroys the Khitan tribe?

Through these words, Xu Mingliang was also testing the emperor's attitude towards Zhao's generals.

The emperor agreed with Xu Minglang's opinion, which gave Xu Minglang a basic inference about the emperor's intentions.

But this inference was not enough. Xu Mingliang needed to further clarify the emperor's current strategy towards generals and family status, so he took the initiative to say:

"Prince Tianyuan should have come to Yan Pingcheng before the war to apologize for the incident at Yan Yan Temuir, but he regretted it midway without any reason and even participated in the war to attack the Dadan tribe.

"Which one is more intolerable? Will Your Majesty reject the Tianyuan Ministry's request, refuse Prince Tianyuan's entry into the capital, and order the Yanmen Army to attack the Tianyuan Royal Court?"

The emperor remained calm and said, "In the battle at Fengming Mountain, the Yanmen Army lost 40,000 soldiers. With their current combat power, it would be inappropriate for them to go on an expedition to Mobei again."

Xu Minglang bowed his head and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, you have learned from this!"

He had basically determined in his mind the emperor's attitude towards generals and family status.

It is true that the Yanmen Army suffered a lot of casualties, but in the expedition to Mobei, it was not difficult to drive the Khitan and Dadan soldiers and have them supply the Yanmen Army with food.

The emperor did not allow the Yanmen Army to expedition to Mobei. On the one hand, although Meng Chi was willing to come to Yanping and the power of Da Qi had been safeguarded, on the other hand, he did not want the Zhao family and the Yanmen Army to make further military exploits.

The emperor continued: "The Tianyuan tribe is ambitious. Although I am willing to listen to what Prince Tianyuan has to say for the time being, if he cannot satisfy me, I will still destroy the Tianyuan tribe!"
