After hearing Ye Hu's words, Yelu Hailan showed no worry on her face.
"I thought Prince Ye Hu had any insightful views, but it turned out to be just an alarmist statement." Yelu Hailan smiled and said, "Prince Ye Hu felt that An Lushan's rebellion would not succeed, but have you ever thought that just such an idea that everyone in the world would think would not be noticed by An Lushan's gloomy mind?"
"What you think is just what you think."
Ye Hu's face changed: "Is it possible that the Tang Dynasty is not just one An Lushan, but others?"
Yelu Hailan smiled and said nothing.
"Master of the Great Wolf, even if it is like this, the Tang Dynasty cannot be defeated." Ye Hu continued to persuade him earnestly, "The Tang Dynasty has Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, Geshuhan and Li Guangbi, and Emperor Li Longji has been foolish and old, but it is a tiger. Even if it is old, it is still a tiger that makes people scared. Not to mention the rich land in the south of the Tang Dynasty, which is rich in money and food, and has a large population. Even if we beat the Tang Dynasty, we only got half of their country and entered their Central Plains. The most proud cavalry of the Khitan will not play any role, and it will be a matter of time before being beaten back."
"Besides, the Lord of the Big Wolf is not worried. Is An Lushan stuck a knife behind you?"
Yelu Hailan said lightly: "Thank you, Prince Ye Hu, otherwise I would almost forget the shortcomings of Khitan soldiers being unfamiliar with infantry battles. So, after the Khitan entered the pass, what we wanted was not land. After all, Khitan made a living by nomadic life and was not good at farming. The cooperation we reached with An Lushan was that the Khitan owned three important towns behind the Great Wall. Apart from that, there was no need for any land. An Lushan provided the Khitan with five million stones of grain and a thousand pieces of brocade cloth every year, as well as various medicinal materials and tools."
"The shortcomings of the Khitans are too fatal, and they must be changed. We will learn to farm in the three important towns we have obtained, and gradually evolve the Khitans' living habits into the habits of the Central Plains. This process is destined to be very long, and may last for hundreds of years, but this is something that must be done. Ye Hu, the Uighurs and the Khitan are both Turkic branches. You are also very clear that the Uighurs are too behind the Tang Dynasty. Continuing to follow the unchanging nomadic tradition for hundreds of years will only accelerate our demise. Think about it, the Huns were so powerful that they once suppressed the Han Empire after the Great Wall. But what about the result? The technology of the Central Plains dynasty has been constantly changing, and it is more advanced than before. Their weapons, farm tools, and cloth are innovating every year. What about us? If I remember correctly, the standard armor currently equipped by the Uighur army was still the one that was eliminated and given to you seventy years ago?"
Ye Hu said silently.
Yelu Hailan breathed a deep breath: "Yes, the purpose of the Khitan cooperation with An Lushan to start a war with the Tang Dynasty was not invasion, but evolution. Our way of survival was destined to be eliminated. Only like the Tang Dynasty, can the Khitan civilization continue."
"Did these ideas mean the Khitan king, or did you think of the Big Wolf Lord yourself?" Ye Hu asked.
"Do you think those old men who are about to be silly and confined to a state will agree?"
Ye Hu nodded: "You are a great woman."
After a pause, he continued, "I don't deny that your words and the vision you described touched me, but I am bluntly speaking, it is simply a fantasy to change a country in hundreds of years."
"No matter whether it can succeed or not, once the Khitan king and your father knows your plan, he will kill you immediately."
"Do you think he can do it?"
Yelu Hailan said: "My father is old and he is extremely stupid. He is no longer the Khan who was so energetic that he was pointing at the Tang Dynasty. My brothers are also obsessed with fighting for power and profit, and they are all focused on the
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
In that crumbling Khan position, no one realized that the situation was getting worse, and no one wanted to change all this. So, I stood up."
"I am the big wolf lord of the Khitan. All the wolf lords and wolves must obey my orders. Even the Witch God Sect is under my control. I am the second Khitan Khan! When the Turks had East and West Turks, I insisted that the Khitan also had North and South Khitans!"
"Do you want to split?" Ye Hu said in surprise.
"This is something that must be done to fulfill my wish." Yelu Hailan said solemnly, "I have not usurped power and seized the throne, and I have become the greatest kindness to my father."
"Then, bring the problem back to the beginning." Ye Hu sighed, "An Lushan is not trustworthy. Why should the Lord of the Great Wolf think that he will fulfill his promise in the end when he cooperates with you? Isn't the split Khitan also his possession?"
"That's why I asked to go down to the Great Wall defense line and three military towns. Even if An Lushan finally turned against each other, we were not afraid. The worst result was to retreat to the grassland. The Khitans could not be defeated or killed. My will will be passed down by my followers and carried forward."
"Ye Hu, don't you want the future. Can the Uighurs become a country as powerful as the Tang Dynasty?" Yelu Hailan said softly, "You are the same people as me, and you all hope that your country will prosper and strong, but the way is different. If you choose to rely on the Tang Dynasty, I choose to change the Khitan, Ye Hu, your path will only become narrower and narrower, and change is the only way!"
"Your father is already old, and your brother Jito is even less than 108,000 miles away from you. The opportunity for the Uighurs to be powerful is in front of you. I can help you ascend to the throne of Uighur Khan. Let us work together to reproduce the glory of the Turkic Empire back then!"
"Did the Lord of the Great Wolf interject me?" Ye Hu smiled slightly, "Sorry, Ye Hu's vision is limited and he cannot accept the advanced ideas of the Lord of the Great Wolf. Moreover, I don't want to usurp power and seize the throne. I will fight for things that belong to me by myself and do not need help from others."
"Since that's the case, I have to give up Prince Ye Hu." Yelu Hailan couldn't help but feel regretful in his voice, "In recent times, Prince Ye Hu should not walk around in the military camp, so as not to have an accident."
Ye Hu bowed deeply, and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped.
"Is there anything else for Prince Ye Hu?"
"I do have one more unknown."
"Speaking."
"Since the Lord of the Great Wolf wants to change the Khitan, why should the partner choose An Lushan? Wouldn't it be better to choose the Tang Dynasty? I think the Tang Dynasty would be happy to see the scene of the Khitan split. At that time, although the Lord of the Great Wolf will become a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, it will win in terms of safety and stability, and there is no need to worry about the consequences of failure."
Yelu Hailan nodded slowly: "Prince Ye Hu's proposal is good. I did think about the possibility of cooperating with the Tang Dynasty, but in the end I rejected it."
"Dare you ask why this is the case?"
“Because of freedom.”
Yelu Hailan said: "I hope to build the Khitan into a powerful empire that can be on par with the current Tang Dynasty, rather than becoming a vassal of the Central Plains."
"Besides, if I cooperated with the Tang Dynasty, this war would not have happened from the beginning. Then how could I get the military power that could mobilize the entire South and West Front army in the hands of my father who regards military power as life?"
"Can you mobilize the entire Khitan army on the southern front?" Ye Hu widened his eyes in surprise.
"The Khitan army retreated step by step at the beginning of the battle. What do you mean? No, you were not in the Khitan at that time, but after you came back, you immediately rushed here to fight against Bai Wenxi's western army. What do you want to do? The rest of the Khitan army drove into the grass

It turned out to be like it disappeared out of thin air, where did they go?"
"That's my Khitan secret, so Prince Ye Hu doesn't have to worry too much." Yelu Hailan said lightly, "Abaoji, take off guests."
The curtain was lifted up, and the high priest of the Witch God Cult, Abaoji, walked in.
Ye Hu glanced at Yelu Hailan deeply and walked out of the Central Military Camp.
After he left, Yelu Hailan rubbed her eyes tiredly, as if at this time she showed her posture as a little woman.
"Don't be too tired." A Baoji's gentle words resounded in Yelu Hailan's ears.
Holding the lover's hand, Yelu Hailan nodded lightly: "Yes."
"What are you going to do with this Prince Ye Hu? Do you want to kill it?"
"Jito doesn't do anything, Ye Hu can't kill him, so keep it. It won't cause any disaster anyway. As long as he doesn't leave, it's fine." Yelu Hailan said, "I've said a little too much just now. I guess he has guessed my intention."
"It will be impossible to hide the 300,000 army in Mengyin River, sooner or later." A Baoji said, "When you kill Bai Wenxi and Pei Min, the 300,000 cavalry will march south to attack Fengzhou, and your wish will be realized."
"I hope." Yelu Hailan sighed, "To kill Bai Wenxi, you still need to find the mysterious Chi Qianshu. To kill Pei Min, you also need Yelu Sect."
"How are you practicing in Hanya Muhe's part of the witch gods?"
"I'm trying my best. I'll have a month left, so I won't drag the back of Yelu Zong and Asana Chongguang."
...
Back at his camp, Ye Hu sat by the bed with a gloomy face and did not sleep all night.
What exactly is Yelu Hailan's intention? Ye Hu vaguely pieced together a rough guess from some fragmented clues obtained from the conversation with Yelu Hailan, but he was still not sure.
After all, it is impossible to have such a big noise in Mengyin River. Moreover, Tang Jun’s eyeliner is not a vegetarian, so there should be some news.
When he was upset, Ye Hu wanted to go out for a walk.
Two strong wolf slaves blocked his way, and it was no longer the two Khitan soldiers who were responsible for guarding him last night.
Ye Hu was surprised, but he also understood the intention of Yelu Hailan's move - she had already said last night that she would not let herself walk around in the army at will, it seemed that she would really be jailed.
"Can I get out of this tent, or do you have to follow me wherever I go?" Ye Hu asked the two wolf slaves in front of him in Khitan.
No one answered his words.
"That's right, I forgot that you wolf slaves can't speak anymore." Ye Hu smiled self-deprecatingly, "It seems that I can't leave here anymore."
To his surprise, the two wolves actually made way for him.
"Can I go out?" Ye Hu said in shock.
The two wolf slaves nodded, but one of them took out a shackle and tied it to Ye Hu's ankle.
"Ha, it's better than suffocating to death in a tent."
Ye Hu, wearing shackles, followed by two wolf slaves, wandered around the military camp.
When he walked somewhere, he suddenly heard a cheer from the front.
He walked forward in confusion and squeezed away the onlookers. In front of him was a small martial arts field, with two archery targets placed in the center of the martial arts field.
One of the targets only shot one arrow diagonally, while the other three arrows were inserted into the center of the target.
A Khitan soldier left dejectedly, and then replaced him.
But their opponent was always a Tang man wearing Khitan military uniform.
