Shen Yue found Yang Yao's deductions highly agreeable.

Most uprisings are born of desperation, with survival as their clear goal.
The Jurchens were no exception.
The Great Song and the Liao People had been deadlocked for years, and by allying with the Jurchens to destroy the Liao State, they had sown the seeds of their own disaster. The Jurchens attacked the Liao for the sheer oppression they suffered under its rule.
