Chapter 467 Wise Emperor
If Guo Wei is really allowed to get the Sixteen States of Youyun, the fate of Liao Kingdom will be miserable, and the fate of Khitan will also be miserable.The Khitan will definitely split into a clan society because of this change. At that time, there will be small tribes one by one. These small tribes will pose no threat to Guo Wei. At that time, he will be able to deal with Tang and Shu with all his strength. Either way, Guo Wei will be able to unify the world by then.

Although all of this is Feng Hui's reverie, everything is logical and there is no flaw, so if he ran into the desert this season, what is it if he is not courting death?As long as there is a sandstorm, an army of 5000 people will be buried alive immediately. It only takes one sandstorm to destroy the army, and no amount of people will help.

.........

The Khitan army went straight to the desert. They didn't know much about the desert, so everyone ignored this problem.They only thought that Yeluzhen was lost in this desert at the beginning, and when he escaped from this desert, his martial arts had reached the point of perfection, and since then Yeluzhen went into this desert to find the lost temple, and went back and forth more than once?
In addition to Yeluzhen, Yelv Chage, who is a useless talent in the eyes of everyone, has also traveled back and forth to this desert many times. At that time, Yelu Chage was only one person, and his martial arts was low. This desert is not terrible.

In the past, they all went into the desert alone without any help, but this time most of the 5000 people went into the desert, so even if they encountered any embarrassing things, they could take care of each other.So this time it's pretty safe.

Even Yeluzhen and Yelv Chaga thought so. With so many people entering the desert at the same time, the scope of the search would naturally increase a lot.In the past, I was alone, and finding a small temple in such a huge desert was like looking for a needle in a haystack, but this time, with 5000 people searching at the same time, the chance of finding the temple would naturally be much higher.

As long as you can find the Fire Temple, you must search it carefully.The two people who have entered the Fire Temple are very clear that the scope of the Fire Temple is actually very large, like a small city.It should be said that the Fire Temple is only a part of the city, but because the Fire Temple is relatively high, the sand is exposed at the entrance, but those parts buried in the sand are a city.

I don't know who built this city, but one thing is certain, this city has been abandoned for many, many years, and the residents in the city have disappeared without a trace. The desert slowly engulfed the city, and finally disappeared before the eyes of the world.

Yeluzhen and Yelu Chage had already had such a guess, so they thought that finding the Fire Temple would depend on luck. Only when luck was good, the sand dunes that buried the Fire Temple would be blown away by the wind and sand to reveal the entrance.

The Khitan army set out from Fengzhou City, first passed through the northern neighbor, and then entered the desert.After entering the desert, we didn't walk too far. The sky had already started to darken, and everyone could feel a chill.In addition to the coldness after nightfall in the desert, there is also the most realistic visual experience in front of you.There was nothing to see around but sand.

The flat sand, rolling dunes, and the occasional desert plant were a rare comfort to these Khitan soldiers.The Khitan people who have lived in the arctic region of the Sai Pole for a long time are actually very unaccustomed to such a hot climate. None of these soldiers really wanted to enter the desert, but they had no choice but to go against the emperor's order. Although it is hot, there is no shortage of water.

When it was getting darker, Yeluruan arranged for people to set up camp. Although they were in a hurry, everyone didn't have a clear direction. They only knew that the Temple of Fire was in this desert, but they wanted to find fire in this desert. The temple is not an easy task, so there is no rush.

Yeluruan knew that the night in the desert came very quickly and was extremely cold, so he asked the soldiers to prepare early so as not to run out of time.These soldiers are not afraid of the cold, but the heat of the day makes everyone unbearable, even martial arts masters with deep inner strength feel uncomfortable, let alone these ordinary soldiers?

That night
Yeluruan stopped the banquet, this time the protagonist was not Zongxin but Zhao Kuangyin, Yeluruan was very enthusiastic about Zhao Kuangyin, which made Zhao Kuangyin feel embarrassed, and even felt that Yeluruan had some special hobbies.Zhao Kuangyin is really worried that Yeluruan has a special hobby in this area, he likes his beautiful appearance, and wants to come to pick up yang to make up yang...

During the banquet, Yeluruan deliberately drank more wine, and said in front of the officials: "The Central Plains is strong, and the Han people are proud. I think you have coveted the Central Plains for a long time, but you have not been able to do so. Not long ago, but his heart is attached to Khitan, and he hopes that Khitan will become stronger and stronger. You all know that before he ascended the throne, I was the king of the Khitan South Court, in charge of the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, so I have many opportunities to touch the Han people. But words Let’s say it again, if all the Han people were like Brother Zhao and Master Zong Xin, our Khitan would have perished long ago.”

Yelu Ruan was slightly drunk when he spoke, and no one knew what he wanted to do.The matter of intentionally entertaining Zhao Kuangyin was originally suspicious, and Yeluruan's performance today does not look like an emperor.

Yeluruan said: "Brother Zhao, I have a question for you."

"Your Majesty, please speak." Zhao Kuangyin was still pounding in his heart at this time and didn't know what to do.The Khitan Emperor was too kind to him, and he suspected Yeluruan's ill intentions countless times, but Yeluruan's politeness was not pretending, not to mention that Yeluruan had a high position and authority at this time, it was too easy for him to kill Zhao Kuangyin, it was not at all. There is no need to turn corners.

"Brother Zhao, I just want to know the thoughts of the Central Plains people. If Brother Zhao is in charge of the country, will you send troops to attack Khitan or will you send troops to attack Southern Tang or Shuchuan first? Asking wise people will not get the most honest answer. I see that Brother Zhao has an upright character, so he must be thinking of something to say, so I want to ask Brother Zhao, if you were to ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, what would you do first? Should it be external first, or domestic first?"

What Yeluruan said made Zhao Kuangyin feel a little uncomfortable. It turned out that he wanted to ask the relatively stupid but capable Han people, and wanted to know whether the Han people should settle inside or outside first after gaining power.But it’s not good, Yeluruan said it was because of his straightforward personality, not because of his stupidity... Maybe what Yeluruan really wants to know is how the straightforward Guo Wei will deal with it.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't like to lie, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the villain thinks that we should settle the interior first, and then go abroad. If the Central Plains itself is not united, how can we go abroad? If the foreign enemy is strong, it is natural to send troops first to restrain and delay. After the civil strife is quelled, then Respond with all your strength. If the foreign enemy is weak and the threat is not great, you can put down the internal strife with all your strength, and then conquer the foreign enemy."

Yeluruan nodded. What Zhao Kuangyin said was very good. His character is to be internal first and then external.So he can find many reasons to explain the correctness of this matter.In fact, there is no right or wrong, it's just a matter of personal character.

Yeluruan also nodded reassuringly: "So, the Central Plains people still want to deal with the inside first, and then the outside. Brother Zhao, based on what you know about Guo Wei, what will he do?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, based on the villain's understanding of Guo Wei, he will not take the initiative to start a war. No matter how powerful the Great Zhou is now, Guo Wei will never take the initiative to go to war. Unless someone provokes him, Guo Wei will be more willing to develop the economy and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. So As long as you don't provoke Guo Wei, Guo Wei will not attack anyone. But...if you dare to provoke Guo Wei, once his temper comes up, no one can stop him."

Yeluruan nodded slowly after hearing Zhao Kuangyin's words, and then turned to look at Zong Xin. Zong Xin's expression had already returned to calm, as if the affairs of the world had nothing to do with him.

Yeluruan believed that only Zong Xin knew his intention of talking with Zhao Kuangyin, that's why Zong Xin's face was so ugly during the day, and now that he regained his calm, he might just look away.But because of this, Yeluruan believed that his guess was right. Although he didn't have the ability to pinpoint and count like Zong Xin, he was not bad in terms of intelligence.

In fact, Yeluruan had already made a bold guess. Maybe the person who will win the world in the future is not Guo Wei, nor Guo Wei's son Tianya. It's too high-profile, as if deliberately making others think so, the more it looks like this, the more impossible Yeluruan feels.

Thinking back carefully, it is more likely that Zhao Kuangyin, who has been hiding beside Zong Xin and looking at Zhao Kuangyin who is unknown but only covered by Zong Xin's halo, is more likely.Zhao Kuangyin is actually quite remarkable, but Zong Xin deliberately covered his fame with his aura, as if deliberately hiding him by his side, so that everyone would know Zhao Kuangyin without making him appear inconspicuous.

Yeluruan also felt that he might not be able to go back alive this time, but the current Khitan is precarious, if something really happens to him, then the Khitan group of trash may not be able to withstand it.But if the forces in the Central Plains are allowed to quell the internal strife first, and then foreign enemies, they can give Khitan a buffer space, and perhaps be able to withstand the pressure of the Central Plains without destroying the country.

Daliao seems to be powerful, but because it is composed of clans and tribes, the forces of all parties have not been truly integrated, and the interior is actually very messy. If someone takes advantage of the situation at this time, Liao will surely perish.The reason is very simple, Khitan will be very united after winning the battle, but if they cannot withstand the pressure, everyone will think of their own interests, and thus split internally. In this way, Khitan will be isolated and helpless, and the Liao Kingdom will not exist.

Yeluruan saw all this clearly, and he thought Zhao Kuangyin was a key figure, so he wanted to know his views on the general trend of the world.
