It is widely said in the grassland that Yelu Shenxuan was a gift from the gods to the Liao Kingdom and was the destined next generation leader of the Liao Kingdom.
This legend has been passed down for decades.
Yelu Shenxuan was the crown prince for several decades.
In fact, within the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Shenxuan was indeed very prestigious, and the majority supported his succession.
But the problem is that the Liao Kingdom is different from the Qin Dynasty.
The Qin Dynasty still had a lot of vassal kings who stirred up troubles, not to mention the Liao Kingdom, which was essentially a political power composed of multiple tribes.
Under such a unified plate as the Liao Kingdom, there were distinct tribes and ethnic groups, as well as princes.
Moreover, the people of the Liao Dynasty were fierce and fierce, while the nomadic people favored martial arts and abandoned literature.
Under such a general environment, Yelu Shenxuan had no great military exploits. Even if he ascended the throne, he would not be able to convince the public.
For the Liao Kingdom, the greatest military exploit was the Qin Dynasty.
But both the old emperor and Yelu Shenxuan knew very well that it was almost impossible to swallow up Da Qin.
The Liao Kingdom was founded hundreds of years ago, but the history of the grassland nomads goes back thousands of years.
In the past thousand years, there has never been a record of nomadic people conquering the world.
No matter how weak the Central Plains is, and no matter how strong the grasslands are, the grasslands cannot rule the Central Plains.
On the contrary, more and more nomadic people began to be gradually Sinicized and began to believe in the Central Plains culture.
Nowadays, the aristocratic circles of the Liao Dynasty are secretly circulating books and poems about Han culture, which is ironclad evidence.
Therefore, even Yelu Shenxuan himself just wants to maximize the results of his victory and add a few more layers to his golden body. It is impossible to destroy Da Qin, at least it is impossible now.
There was no peace within the Liao Kingdom. Although Da Qin seemed weak, when it came to life and death, those vassal kings were not easy to mess with, not to mention that the Da Qin court was still there and not destroyed.
Therefore, the strategy set by Yelu Shenxuan and the old emperor was to take advantage of the civil strife in the Qin Empire to make the Qin court as weak as possible.
At that time, the people who covet the crumbling court the most are not outsiders like them, but definitely the vassal kings who have been dormant for decades.
After all, internal strife is a skill passed down from their ancestors in the Central Plains.
Until then, let the Great Qin Empire exhaust its last bit of essence and blood first, and then it will be time for their Liao Kingdom to appear.
The old emperor himself would definitely not be able to see that scene, so he pinned all his hopes on Yelu Shenxuan.
And Yelu Shenxuan is also gearing up and has been planning for a long time.
But...this first step carries the risk of failure.
"Useless trash!"
Yelu Shenxuan, who became angrier as he thought about it, couldn't help but cursed again.
The current situation is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. His 600,000 troops outside the Crescent Pass are like 600,000 fools, waiting for a city gate that can no longer be opened.
Xiao Tiannan, who knew Yelu Shenxuan's situation and thoughts very well, couldn't help but think of the order he had just received some time ago from a certain "He" in Da Qin who liked to make friends.
Try to delay the Liao army to stay at Crescent Pass.
Such an order puzzled Xiao Tiannan. After all, according to common sense, Great Qin should be eager for the 600,000 troops to leave as soon as possible, but this order asked him to find ways to delay it.
In addition to being confused, Xiao Tiannan also found this order extremely difficult.
After all, he is just a counselor, how can he influence the fate of a 600,000-strong army?
But now, Xiao Tiannan feels that his opportunity has come.
"Prince, I think we must not withdraw our troops easily."
