"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
As soon as he returned to his tent, Li Shi Min looked at Luo Shi Xin and said.
Although he said that, there was no trace of blame in his eyes.
Luo Shixin did not hide anything and nodded his head.
"Shixin, this is all my fault. You've really suffered in the battle of Bright Water City.”Li Shi Min said.
Luo Shixin shook his head and said," Your Highness, Shixin is a general in the army. It is my duty to guard the city and the border. I don't blame him. I just don't like Wang Junkuo, so I taught him a lesson. Besides, Wang Junkuo is rebellious and eccentric. He will definitely change in the future. I can't put him in an important position."”
Luo Shixin could only say this much about Wang Junkuo. He couldn't tell Li Shimin that he was a transmigrator and knew that Wang Junkuo would take bribes and bend the law in the future. He was afraid that he would be investigated, so he killed the messenger and defected to the Turks.
Even if he said that, Li Shi Min might not believe him.
Li Shiming nodded." I know that Wang Junkuo is a man of peace. However, he led his troops to surrender to the Tang Empire. If we find a reason to punish him, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers who have surrendered to the Tang Empire."”
Luo Shixin nodded and did not say anything.
"However, Shixin, don't worry. You should be the one to take the credit for the Battle of Mingshui. I will definitely report your achievements to my father.”Li Shi Min said.
Luo Shixin chuckled and said," Your Highness, Liu Heita is nothing. The Tang army has won a great victory, and the world is loyal to us. The other armies have perished, and some have died. They are no longer a threat to the Tang Empire. In the future, the world will belong to the Tang Empire.”
Li Shi Min nodded.
"But Your Highness, you must not let your guard down because of this. Although there are only five people in the Central Plains who can contend with the Great Tang, this does not mean that the Great Tang has no enemies.”Luo Shixin said.
"What do you mean?" Li Shi Min smiled at Luo Shixin.
"Our Great Tang's current enemy is the Turks. The Turkic Jieli Khagan is ambitious and has several hundred thousand Turkic cavalry. Whether now or in the future, he is our greatest enemy.”Luo Shixin said.
Li Shimin nodded. As the commander of the Great Tang's armies, he had made countless contributions and was now a Heavenly Strategy General. He was already familiar with the dangers of the Turks.
However, there was nothing he could do about the current situation.
Although the Great Tang now ruled the world and no one in the Central Plains could stand up to it, the years of war had almost drained the lives of the people in the Central Plains.
The Great Tang was already fortunate enough to have been able to pacify the world. If it were to engage in a life-and-death battle with the Turks, it would be a question of whether the people of the world could endure it, let alone whether they could win.
Li Shi Min looked at Luo Shi Xin strangely.
Although the previous battle of Mingshui had changed his opinion of Luo Shixin, he still did not expect Luo Shixin to be able to explain the current situation so clearly.
Li Shi Min couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Could it be that he had misjudged Luo Shixin?
Luo Shixin wasn't just a fierce general, but also a person with a commander's talent?
Thinking of this, Li Shiming felt a chill down his spine and blamed himself even more.
Luo Shixin had the talent of a marshal, but he had sent him to Mingshui. If something happened, then the Great Tang would lose a generation of marshal.
The more Li Shi Min thought about it, the more terrified he felt, and he couldn't help but tremble.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine." Li Shi Min shook his head and continued,"Since General Luo is so clear about the current situation, do you think there is a solution?”
"It's not that there's no solution, but it's not something that can be done overnight.”
As soon as Luo Shixin finished speaking, Li Shiming's eyes lit up.
"General Luo, tell me quickly."
"Although our Great Tang currently does not have the strength to fight the Turks head-on, we can still pull some tricks from behind. The Turks may seem powerful, but they are not a united whole. They are made up of many nomadic tribes, and we can attack them from within. Choose a few tribes that are not very close to the Jie tribes but have some strength and offer them great benefits to drive a wedge between them. Then our Great Tang will guard the borders. If this continues, I believe that in a few years, the Turks will no longer be a match for our Great Tang.”
After hearing Luo Shixin's words, Li Shiming couldn't help but feel a little moved, and he blamed himself even more.
"General Luo, your plan is brilliant! Wonderful." Li Shi Min praised.
Luo Shixin was a little embarrassed by the praise. What sowing discord? To put it bluntly, this was a method Li Shiming had come up with to deal with the Turks after he ascended the throne.
He had only taken advantage of a transmigrator and told him this plan in advance.
Li Shi Min stood up and poured a bowl of wine for Luo Shi Xin.
"Shixin, can you tell me your thoughts in detail?”
Luo Shixin drank the wine in one gulp. After a moment of silence, he began to organize the information in his mind.
After a while, Luo Shixin said,""Your Highness, if I remember correctly, the Turks have long since been divided into two factions. One of them is naturally Jie Li, while the other is Tuli, right?”
Li Shi Min nodded.
"Tuli is strong and ambitious, and he has always been dissatisfied with Jie Li. As long as we can drive a wedge between them, the Turks will definitely fall into internal strife. The fiercer the internal strife between them, the better it will be for the Great Tang. When the Great Tang regains its vitality, the Turks will surely be wiped out.”
Li Shi Min looked at Luo Shi Xin, who was speaking with confidence, and suddenly felt a sense of awe. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind: One day, if I can ascend to the throne, I will definitely use this plan to deal with the Turks.
The two of them discussed this plan for a long time, and the sky gradually darkened.
"Your Highness, it's getting late. You should rest, but Shixin has a request.”
"What request?"
"I want a person's corpse."
Li Shi Min was stunned.
A person's corpse?
He wouldn't want me to kill Wang Junkuo, would he?
