Furthermore, you could also look at it from the point of view that the Liao might use that money to strengthen its own army and cause further trouble. If that's the case, why not strengthen your own army by buying horses and training the cavalry?

And even if you do successfully buy the 16 prefectures, there's no guarantee that the Liao won't pull off what the Jin Empire did to Song Huizong, leaving empty cities and taking all assets away.

frankly, I don't agree. Just because the later emperors failed in their campaigns, it doesn't mean that Taizu was correct. That logic just doesn't link up.

You could consider the failure to a number of other reasons.

1. Weakened army due to weak relation between generals and soldiers though understandably so from Taizu's background.

2. Weakened army due to change to literary culture.

3. Lack of cavalry.

4. Horrible emperors such as Gaozong (leadership) .
