What would you do if you needed to defeat an enemy and weren't able to defeat them?
Perhaps, call for backup? That's exactly what some old warriors of history have done usually as an act of desperation.
Unfortunately, this "backup" would cause problems for your rule in the future.
Let me explain-
After you defeat your enemy using the mercenary forces and claim victory over the land, it may cause the mercenaries to also want a piece of the cake.
This would cause them to probably overthrow you and take over your land using a planned coup or plot.
Thus, making you regret hiring foreign troops to bump off a couple of local enemies.
If such an event sounds familiar to you then, yes. These events are usually how the seeds of colonisation are sown in countries.
