In the camp of the Chinese army, Yelu Tiande was courting him in every possible way, and Xiao Qirui certainly understood what it meant.

Yelu Deguang is dead, how should the rest of the matter be handled? The Han people said well, the family cannot be left without an owner for a day, the country cannot be a king for a day, no matter what, the sky will not fall, in fact, the most important thing for the Liao State now is not to hunt down and kill Yan Wushuang and Li Fengyun, but to establish a new monarch.

Who can inherit the throne of Yelu Deguang? According to the tradition of the Khitan people, the Great Khan was elected by the eight tribes, but tradition is tradition, and who would really take it seriously? The throne of the Khan has always been inherited by the strongest tribe, especially in the past 20 years when Yelu Deguang inherited the throne, the Khitan people have gradually accepted some of the practices of the Han people, and it is considered a matter of course for sons or brothers to inherit the throne.

However, can Yelu Tiande inherit the throne?

Now there are four people who have a chance to inherit the throne of Khan, or the emperor of Liao, and the one who hopes the most is Yelu Honggu, the imperial brother of Yelu Deguang, who obviously has a great advantage in the battle for the throne.

Legally speaking, he is the emperor's younger brother appointed by Yelu Deguang, and he is the emperor's legitimate heir. But the law is bigger than a fist, otherwise it should not be Yelu Deguang who inherited the throne of Yelu Abaoji Khan, but his elder brother, the crown prince at that time, Huang Yelubei.

Therefore, it is far from enough to have fame and legal principles, at least in Liao.

However, Yelu Honggu not only has the support of legal principles, but his strength is also strong, because he has a strong mother who loves him, the Empress Dowager Shu Luping. Shu Luping's influence in the Liao State is not under Yelu Deguang, he has a lot of strength, if there is no accident, in the Liao State, almost no one can change Yelu Honggu Dengji to inherit the throne.

The second person who may inherit the throne, in Xiao Qirui's opinion, is not Yelu Tiande, although he is the son of Yelu Deguang, and he is born with some advantages, that person is called Yelu Ruan, the son of Yelu Bei, and the eldest grandson of Yelu Abaoji.

When Yelubei failed to compete for the throne and fled to the Later Tang Dynasty, Yeluruan did not follow his father Yelubei to flee to the Central Plains, and insisted on staying in the Khitan.

When Yelu Abaoji became the Khitan Khan, his younger brother disobeyed Yelu Abaoji and rebelled three times, Yelu Abaoji didn't care, and there was no reason why Yelu Deguang would kill his brother's heir. Doing so violated the last wishes of the Great Sage Great Ming God Emperor Yelu De Abaoji, so Yelu Ruan did not believe that Yelu Deguang would do this. Therefore, not only did he refuse to leave the Khitan, Yelu Ruan also persuaded his father Yelu Bei not to leave the Khitan, but unfortunately his father did not listen to his advice, and finally died a tragic death in a foreign land.

Yelu Ruan was right, and instead of killing him, Yelu Deguang showed great affection for him, at least on the surface, and repeatedly praised him for his generosity and majesty.

Yelu Ruan usually showed no ambition, worked diligently, and was modest, and won the support and support of various ministers, such as Yelu Roar, the king of the Southern Court (Note 1), the King of the Northern Court Yelu Wa (Note 2), and the minister Yelu Anjun (Note 3).

And most of these people are dissatisfied with the empress dowager, and it is very likely that Yelu Ruan will be used as a tool to fight against Shu Luping, so as to support Yelu Ruan as the emperor of Liao.

Although this faction is inferior to Shu Luping, it is not small, second only to Shu Luping.

The third person who may inherit the throne is still not Yelu Tiande, but Yelu Tiande's elder brother and Yelu Deguang's eldest son, Yelu Jing.

Yelu Deguang gave birth to five sons in his life, and the eldest son was Yelu Jing, who was born to Xiao Wen, the queen of Jing'an. The second son, Yelu Gangsage, the third son, Yelu Tiande, the fourth son, Yelu Enemy, and the fifth son, Yelu Bishi.

In terms of talent, Yelu Jing is indeed inferior to Yelu Tiande, but Yelu Tiande is not Yelu Deguang's son-in-law, but born to the palace maid Xiao, and his status is far inferior to Yelu Jing.

The fourth Cai wheel got Yelu Tiande, although he was deeply favored by Yelu Deguang, but compared to Yelu Jing, there were many fewer people who supported him. It was only because his father-in-law Xiao Han valued him very much and had Xiao Han's ministry to support him that he was qualified to compete for the throne.

No matter how you look at it, Yelu Tiande's chances of inheriting the unification are pitifully small. Unless he can take advantage of the current chaos and really be able to control the 300,000 army heading south.

But will these 300,000 troops really be at the mercy of Yelu Tiande?

Xiao Qirui shook his head, his hope was extremely slim. Whether it is the people of Yelu Honggu, or the people of Yelu Ruan and Yelu Jing, they will not sit idly by and watch Yelu Tiande sit big. Unless Yelu Tiande can take the opportunity to kill the killer immediately, take advantage of the chaos in the past few days, and take Shu Luping, Yelu Honggu, Yelu Ruan, and Yelu Jing...... Those who are waiting for it to be eradicated in one fell swoop, there is still some hope. At that time, he was sitting on 300,000 Liaoguo iron cavalry, and with soldiers and horses in his hands, he had a lot of chances to inherit the unification.

But this also means that Yelu Tiande tore his face and opposed these people, which will inevitably attract the joint attack of the Manchu civil and military forces. If it doesn't work, Daliao will be in chaos and fall apart.

If Yelu Tiande really did this, Xiao Qirui could be sure that Yelu Ming would not let him go first.

According to Xiao Qirui's understanding of Yelu Tiande, although this person is smart, he is indecisive, and I am afraid it is difficult to make such a choice. This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Qirui did not express his position and leaned towards Yelu Tiande.

What a mess!

Xiao Qirui sighed secretly, as soon as Yelu Deguang died, I am afraid that there will be a big change in the situation of the whole world. Who said that Yan Wushuang was a reckless man in the rivers and lakes? The reckless man in the rivers and lakes was able to find the most important point at the most critical moment, and in the blink of an eye, the powerful Great Liao faced a situation of falling apart.

It's a pity that Yerod's calculations and layouts will be in vain with his passing. When the Liao State was pacified, I was afraid that the turmoil in the Central Plains deliberately created by Yelu Deguang would have been pacified long ago. What the Liao State is facing will be another monolithic Central Plains.

The three expeditions to the Central Plains, which cost countless manpower and material resources, ended up like this, and I am afraid that nothing will end up in the end. On the contrary, the Central Plains and the Liao State have been at war since then, and the war has continued.

Another beacon fire rose up, and the beacon fire indicated that Yan Wushuang and the others were fleeing towards the north.

Xiao Qirui was about to adjust his direction, and his heart suddenly moved.

What is the use of capturing or killing Yan Wushuang and Li Fengyun? Can it change the current situation in Daliao? Can it make Xiao Qirui's position more consolidated?

No, it's just to dispel the anger!

The most important thing now is to seize the military power, as long as the military power is in hand, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, he Xiao Qirui will be the national teacher of the Liao State who cannot be beaten, and he enjoys the supreme position in the Great Liao.

Therefore, the most important thing to do at present should be to use one's prestige to tightly hold a part of the military power.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qirui did not adjust his direction to intercept Li Fengyun and the others, but went straight towards the army of the striker Xiao Yu.
