Chapter 43-Turk's Insanity
"Do you still want to acknowledge me as your master?”
Sword Saint Pei Min saw the commotion and walked over. As soon as he walked over, he heard that Li Taibai wanted to take Gao Xuan as his master.
Pei Min was already in his forties. He did not want to be a junior brother to a young man.
"Humph! I'll definitely surpass the Sword Saint in the future.”
Li Taibai was still Li Taibai after all, and the pride in his bones would never dissipate.
Gao Xuan nodded in satisfaction." It's very difficult to be my disciple.”
Hearing Gao Xuan's words, Pei Min and Wu Meiniang stopped talking.。
They all understood that since Gao Xuan had said so, it was obvious that Gao Xuan had the intention of taking this youth as his disciple.
Even if Pei Min didn't want to be brothers with such a young Li Taibai, he didn't dare to disobey Gao Xuan's orders.
"I'm not afraid of difficulties."
Li Taibai shook his head and said firmly.
"Alright, then I will take you in as my disciple. In the future, your job in this Taoist temple will be to copy the scriptures and then deal with the miscellaneous matters in the temple.”
Gao Xuan smiled and gave Li Taibai a few orders.
Li Taibai agreed to all of them. He didn't ask why he didn't teach him how to write poems directly like other children.
Seeing Li Taibai's actions, Gao Xuan was even more satisfied.
Li Taibai led the green bull to a corner of the temple, then entered the temple hall alone and began to deal with the miscellaneous affairs of the temple.
"This young man is very sensible."
Pei Min said when he saw this scene.
"Of course. Just wait and see. This young man's future is definitely limitless.”
Gao Xuan said happily.
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there was the mysterious Xuanzong and the Rebellion of An Lushan and Shi Lushan. Li Taibai could achieve such achievements. Gao Xuan believed that Li Taibai's achievements would be even greater during the Qing Dynasty.
in the Imperial court
Li Shimin and the other ministers were not as relaxed as Gao Xuan. The news of the war from the Turks had given the backbone of the country a headache.
"Last night, the Turkic war broke out again. The Turkic army came south from the mouth of the Shang River, plundered Qingzhou, and is now heading straight for Liao City.”
Li Shi Min didn't sit on the throne, but stood up and paced back and forth on the high-level throne.
"Liao City, Liao City is an important city in the north of the Great Tang. We must not lose it. I hope Your Majesty can send reinforcements as soon as possible.”
Fang Xuanling said as he walked out of the court.。
Liao City was located at the northern end of the Great Tang's territory, facing Qingzhou. It could be said that it didn't matter even if Qingzhou was lost, but once Liao City was lost, the Turkic cavalry would have no place to defend themselves.
"Your Majesty, I'm willing to personally lead the army to Liao City and fight to the death with the Turkic army.”
Li Jing, known as the Great Tang's God of War, cupped his fists and left.
Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Li Jing's determination.
"Very good. The War God should indeed go to war. He can calm the hearts of the people of the Great Tang. Now that Liao City still had Li Chunfeng's reputation, the Turkic army would not dare to act rashly.”
Li Shi Min said in a deep voice.
News of Li Chunfeng and Pei Min's battle in Liao City spread throughout the Great Tang and the Turks.
Back then, Pei Min had charged into the Turks alone with a sword and a horse and slaughtered them. Many Turks feared the title of Sword Saint.
Now that Li Chunfeng had defeated Pei Min, the Turks were extremely wary of him.
"Li Chunfeng's sword-arts are truly profound, but it's still too difficult for him to stop the Turkic army of one hundred thousand by himself.”
Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and analyzed.
Back when Pei Min entered the Turks, he had been able to kill his way through smoothly. He had used guerilla warfare to attack. If he were to really fight the Turks, Pei Min would definitely not be a match for them.
Now, Li Chunfeng was the same.
Li Chunfeng had no chance of winning against the Turkic army.
"Liao's army is exhausted. It's best to arrange for General Li Jing to go to Liao as soon as possible. We can't let the Turkic army break through.”
Zhangsun Wuji stepped out, his expression filled with worry.
"Li Jing, personally lead one hundred thousand soldiers to Liao City. We must stop the Turkic army outside Liao City!”
Li Shi Min ordered Li Jing.
"I accept your orders!"
Li Jing cupped his hands and accepted the order.
Then, he began to prepare and personally led a hundred thousand troops to Liao City.
And the Great Tang's troubled times didn't seem to be limited to just the Turkic wars.
"Three days ago, there was a sudden flood at the mouth of the Yangtze River's Yutang River. Two towns have been flooded, and tens of thousands of people have been displaced.”
The Minister of Revenue stepped forward and reported to Li Shimin.
Li Shi Min felt a headache coming on. He hadn't even settled the state affairs, and now the flood was coming.
"Grants, disaster relief! Let the prime minister handle these matters.”
Li Shiming rubbed his head and left the Yangtze River flood to Fang Xuanling.
"I accept your orders!"
Fang Xuanling cupped his hands." Your Majesty seems to be unwell. I hope you can rest early."”
Because of the Turkic uprising, Li Shiming had not slept the entire night and was inevitably exhausted.
Waving his hand, Li Shi Min announced his retreat.
Fang Xuanling, the Minister of Revenue, and other important officials began to discuss the Yangtze River disaster relief.
In the face of war, the Yangtze River flood did not seem to be important, but soon, this flood would catch everyone off guard.
