Soldiers built the city much faster than ordinary people. Not long after the funeral ceremony of Yelu Abaoji, Xilou City, which was destroyed by the Yellow Head and the Tatars, was initially repaired. The main reason is that the government office has been completely built.
Li Ye met Yue Liduo here.
The Khitan army was defeated by the Tang army. Although Yelu Abaoji voluntarily surrendered and committed suicide in order to survive for the Khitan fighters, in the eyes of many Khitan people, he died at the hands of Li Ye.

As Yelu Abaoji's woman, Yue Liduo should hate Li Ye and take revenge as her duty.
Out of these considerations, Li Ye didn't want to see Yue Liduo. In addition, out of faith, he didn't intend to kill Yue Liduo. She's just a prairie woman, no matter how smart and capable she is, she won't have a chance to grow up in front of the Tang garrison and elite civilian officials of the Tang Dynasty.
But King Qi said more than once that Yue Liduo was kind-hearted and pure in nature, and he was very grateful to Li Ye for rescuing the Khitan captives in Xilou from the hands of Huangtou and Tatar, and now he has no intention of hating Datang. It's worth using.
Li Ye naturally knew that King Qi spent a lot of time with Yue Liduo these days. Although the two have different positions, the women who are both kings have similar moods and experiences. In addition, King Qi's personality is quite charming. Now she is commensurate with Sister Yue Liduo and gets along very well.
Of course King Qi would not do anything aimless.
The reason why she is willing to spend time with Yue Liduo is because she wants to influence him through herself. In the face of huge changes, people's hearts will always be very fragile, and it is also the time when emotions are the most ups and downs, and temperament and thoughts are most likely to change.
At this time, King Qi "stepped in while taking advantage of the void" in order to prevent Yue Liduo from thinking too much about the hatred between Khitan and Datang, and to guide the other party to be grateful for Li Ye's kindness in rescuing the Khitan captives, and to respect Li Ye's commitment to Yelu's protection. The righteousness of the promise, understanding the strategy of Datang will inevitably benefit the grassland people.
During these days, King Qi has already instilled in Yue Liduo that Li Ye and Yelu Abaoji are the greatest heroes standing side by side in this world. Although the two have different identities and positions, they recognize each other, and heroes cherish the concept of heroes.
She also told Yue Liduo that Li Ye and Yelu Abaoji's ultimate goal of fighting and killing countless people is actually to benefit the people.
In short, King Qi is brainwashing Yue Liduo.
Now King Qi thinks that the brainwashing work is quite effective, and Li Ye does not deny her reason for doing things conscientiously. For Li Ye and Datang, King Qi must be encouraged with such high initiative and enthusiasm in doing business now.
Therefore, Li Ye decided to meet with Yue Liduo once to evaluate the feasibility of making him the nominal leader of the Khitan people.
Yue Liduo's complexion in front of her eyes has improved a lot. Although there is still sadness in her eyes that cannot be concealed, her words and deeds are not extreme. Whether it is saluting or talking, they are all well-behaved, and she looks a little lively.
Li Ye signaled the other party to take a seat, pondered for a while, decided to abandon those pretended friendly greetings, and asked straightforwardly: "In your mind, what should a prairie hero look like and what should he do?"
Yue Liduo showed a look of astonishment, obviously surprised by this question, and then Yelu Abaoji's appearance naturally appeared in her mind, "Heroes on the grassland should ride horses and whips, be invincible, and conquer all tribes, Worshiped and supported by thousands of people.”
Li Ye was noncommittal, "Then what?"
"Then?" Yue Liduo was startled again.
As a typical prairie woman, what she just said was all her understanding of the hero in her heart, nothing after that.
But Li Ye was asking and then.
Yue Liduo lowered her head, and first recalled Yelu Abaoji's previous actions and what she had said to her, and then recalled the war, especially the destruction of the west building by the Yellow Head and the Tatars, burning, killing and looting, as well as their Scene of being whipped into slavery.
Yue Liduo felt sad, her eyes filled with tears, and she said in a dry voice: "Hero, you should let your people have enough to eat and wear, so that they don't fear the cold winter and the year of calamity. They should also be able to protect them from herding sheep and horses, and don't get hurt. The bullying and oppression of others, so that children can grow up well, so that the elderly can not be starved to death... "
There was a smile in Li Ye's eyes.
He said: "Do you think that Khitan can do this by himself now?"
Yue Liduo shook her head sadly. The current Khitan is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and even tribes like the Yellow Head and Tatar can bully them. One can imagine how much suffering there will be in the future.
Yue Liduo's tears could not be stopped as soon as the thoughts of those fellow clansmen who were fleeing under the hooves of the enemy's horses in blood and panic, but were still killed and trampled appeared in his mind.
Li Ye was very satisfied with Yue Liduo's reaction. He asked, "If you were to be the hero of Khitan, would you dedicate your life so that they could live and work in peace and contentment?"
Yue Liduo raised her head and said confusedly: "Me? How can I do it..."
Li Ye said seriously: "With Datang's help, you can do it."
Yue Liduo opened her bright eyes wide, and couldn't believe Li Ye would say that. That is the power and gift that only gods have. Isn't Datang an enemy of Khitan? How could he help Khitan
"King An is really willing to help Khitan?" Yue Liduo stood up in surprise.
Li Ye smiled lightly, "If you are willing to be this hero, Gu can help you."
Yue Liduo nodded quickly without thinking: "I am willing!"
Li Ye sized her up a few times, but didn't speak.
Yue Liduo couldn't help feeling flustered and disappointed, thinking that Li Ye was just teasing her.
At the end, Li Ye didn't say much, and waved his hand, "Go down."
Yue Liduo didn't know why, so she could only turn around and leave with her head drooping, her footsteps were chaotic, showing the confusion in her heart.
When she was about to go out, Li Ye suddenly said: "Yue Liduo, you have seen what war is like. If you don't want war, you have to be responsible for what you just said."
Yue Liduo turned around, but saw that Li Ye had no intention of talking to her, and could only leave feeling uneasy.
Not long after she went out, King Qi came in, sat down on Yue Liduo's seat just now, leaned over and asked Li Ye: "How is it, can this little girl be used?"
Li Ye did not answer this question directly, but got up and left his seat, signaling King Qi to go out with him.
The two vacated from the front of the government office and went straight up to three thousand feet.
When the west building was only the size of a chess piece, and the magnificent grasslands were all under his feet, Li Ye waved his long sleeves across the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in his vision, and said to King Qi: "The king governs the country, leaving aside trivial matters, mainly doing two things: Herdsmen, murder.
"The reason why herdsmen are 'shepherds' is that in the eyes of the king, there is no essential difference between controlling the people and herding cattle and sheep. All major national policies are for the healthy growth of cattle and sheep, so that they will be fat and strong. They lay wool on their bodies and reap more wealth.
"The more cattle and sheep, the more wealth, the stronger the tribe, the more soldiers can be supported, the soldiers can have better armor and weapons, the stronger the king's strength, he can enjoy the glory and wealth, and he can also stabilize his position. Conquer the Quartet.
"And to kill is to weed out the black sheep, let those thieves who covet the beef and wool go to death, and let all the negative factors that affect the fatness and reproduction of cattle and sheep cease to exist.
"In other words, cattle and sheep only belong to the king. Whoever snatches them, hinders their growth, and destroys the stable order of the king's grazing. No matter whether they are sheep or wolves, no matter how harmful they are, as long as they affect the king's wealth and harvest, All must be wiped out!
"This is the essence of the feudal dynasty, when the king controlled the world."
King Qi was a little taken aback.
She didn't expect that the principles of governing the country could be explained from such a perspective.
Li Ye pointed to the grassland under his feet, and continued: "Although the Khitan is defeated, there must be people in the country who are not willing to die from the clouds. They will want to use the guise of restoring the glory of the Khitan, and shout for revenge for the heroes." Banner, compete for the cattle and sheep of Datang, and reshape your wealth, status, and power.
"There must be such people, not only Khitan, but also other tribes. What I want to do is to kill them all.
"But now, because of the disastrous defeat just now, such Khitan people must have been hidden, and there may be some differences. It is undoubtedly unrealistic to find them all.
"I have to lure the snake out of the hole. And Yue Liduo is the bait to lure the snake out of the hole. She is a woman of Yelu Abaoji, so she has a natural appeal. Whether she has the heart or not, she may be used by people with evil intentions.
"If Yue Liduo really has a heart for the people and obeys Datang, she will naturally stand by my side in the process of being a hero, and help me cut off these scourges that are emerging, and I can save a lot of worry; but if she If she harbors resentment and wants to rebel, then when she gathers those black sheep and the target is obvious, I can also kill them with my backhand.
"So, Yue Liduo is indeed a suitable candidate for Khitan's nominal new leader."
After hearing Li Ye's words, King Qi didn't know what to say for a while.
After a long time, she shook her head and sighed, "It's really dark."
Seeing that she hesitated to speak, Li Ye added with a smile: "It's still ugly and vicious."
King Qi spread his hands, indicating that he didn't want to say these things, Li Ye himself admitted it.
She said: "I have seen it clearly again. I am also suitable to be a king on the battlefield. It is enough to charge forward, and the conspiracy and tricks will not be mixed. It is up to you to compare these national strategies, power squeezes, and strategic battles." good."
Li Ye was very conscious, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Someone has to do the dirty work. If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"
For the sake of this dynasty, not to mention asking him to practice cunning tricks, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, he will go there without blinking an eye. If you don't have the courage to go forward without fear of people's words, then what kind of Tang Dynasty is going to be planned!
King Qi patted Li Ye on the shoulder, and said with relief: "You are a real hero, I admire you! Thank you for sheltering me from the wind and rain, so that I can be a simple general."
Li Ye smiled and cupped his hands: "To each other."
At this point, the Khitan Kingdom has completely become a thing of the past. Under the leadership of the civil servants and garrisons of the Tang Dynasty, the surviving Khitan people were re-divided, some returned to their original tribes, and some went to their new homes. space.
A new order was established on this hot-blooded land, which belonged to Li Ye and Tang Dynasty.
