"If Your Highness sends someone to investigate now, you will definitely notice something. However, the journey back and forth would be too long, and it would be too late. In one or two months, the Turkic army will arrive in Chang 'an.”
Li Chuan frowned. There was no good way to convince the other party.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to take a step back and say,"Forget it. If Your Highness doesn't believe me, why don't you let me bid farewell to Your Highness and return to the mountains?”
Li Er's expression changed drastically. He quickly stood up and walked down quickly. He held Li Chuan's hand and said,"Sir, why are you doing this?"
"Your Highness doesn't trust this commoner, so there's no use for this commoner to stay.”Li Chuan's eyes were bright as he spoke indifferently. He met Li Er's sharp gaze and did not retreat.
He could talk to Li Er about other things, but the humiliation at the Weishui River was the first thorn in his heart since he came to the Tang Empire. He had to pull it out no matter what.
"Don't doubt the person you use, don't doubt the person you don't use. This king was muddle-headed. Please stay and help, sir. This king will treat you as an honored guest. In the future, the Great Tang will still need to rely on your talent. Many foreign barbarians will also be eyeing the Great Tang covetously.”
Li Er's attitude was sincere and he looked determined.
This was because Li Chuan's performance was too magical. He could not help but believe it. For example, he descended from the sky, and he single-handedly destroyed Youzhou. There were also all kinds of magical things.
To be honest, even if he didn't believe it, he definitely couldn't bear to let Li Chuan go like this.
Hearing this, Li Chuan heaved a sigh of relief. This time, he had forced Li Er to believe him, but he knew very well in his heart.
If the August Turks had not invaded Chang 'an like in history, the lofty image he had painstakingly built in Li Er's heart would have immediately collapsed.
On the contrary, if the Turks came, then his position in Li Er's heart would naturally climb to a new height.
His advantage was that he was familiar with the trajectory of history, which was equivalent to being able to predict the future. It was just that he could not do everything in detail.
This was already very heaven-defying. Coupled with the ability given by the system, it would not be long before he was invincible in the world.
At that time, even if Li Er was afraid of him, he would not be able to do anything to him.
"Your Highness is broad-minded. In the future, when you look at the barbarians of the four seas, they will definitely be your subjects.”Then, Li Chuan complimented him without showing any emotion, giving Li Er a way out. After all, he had just forced him to abdicate!
"This king believes in your words. Whether it is the Turks, the Khitans, or the barbarians of the Western Regions, one day, they will all submit to this king.”
For the first time, Li Er revealed his ambition. His eyes were bright and full of vigor.
"Your Highness, you should be able to see further. Whether it is the distant west or beyond the vast sea, there are vast unexplored lands. Whether it was the Northern Turks, the Khitans, or the kingdoms of the Western Regions, they were merely appetizers.”
Li Chuan looked through the huge window of the Eastern Palace at the starry night sky and threw out a heavy bomb.
"Sir is a man of learning and is not something ordinary people can compare to. This king is also ashamed of his inferiority. It's just that I don't know if this king will have the opportunity to set foot in the foreign and wild land that Sir mentioned in his lifetime.”
Li Er did not doubt Li Chuan's words. He also knew that there were many powerful countries in the distant west, but they were too far apart and had never come into contact with them.
As for what was beyond the sea, it was beyond his understanding. However, if Sir said there was, then he would definitely not shoot without thinking.
"As long as Your Highness doesn't mind, I'm willing to do everything I can to assist Your Highness in conquering the four seas and the eight wastelands, allowing the Great Tang Empire to stand at the top of the world.”Li Chuan said with a smile.
That was the truth. As a Chinese, he really hoped to see China rule the world one day.
Of course, the Great Tang was the Great Tang, and Li Er was Li Er.
He had no interest in being the emperor for the time being, but the premise was that Li Er's performance in the future would satisfy him.
In history, Li Er was one of the few emperors who allowed his subjects to have a good end. He could be considered to have started a prosperous era of the Tang Empire, so it was still acceptable to call him a wise ruler.
But now, he understood that the human heart was the most unfathomable.
"Mister's talent is unparalleled in the world. With Mister's help, this king believes that such a day will come!”Hearing this, Li Er's eyes lit up. He did not hide his admiration and respect for Li Chuan's erudition, as well as his ambition.
"Where does Your Highness plan to mobilize the soldiers to protect the capital? This matter is not a small matter. I calculated it repeatedly. Your Highness, don't be careless.”The two of them talked for a long time, but Li Chuan couldn't help but ask again.
"The north, northwest, and northeast have no soldiers to mobilize. They need to defend against the Turks, Khitans, Huihe, Goguryeo, Tuyuhun, and the other barbarians, as well as the Canliang forces that occupy Feng Province and the Cansui forces that occupy Yun Province.”
"There are still Nanzhao people in the southwest. Almost seventy percent of the Great Tang's forces have been deployed in these places. The southern regions have not been conquered for long, so they need troops to guard them in case anything happens.”
Li Er's expression darkened. He was well aware of the Great Tang army's defenses, and apart from the several tens of thousands of soldiers in the capital, he realized that the Great Tang was truly powerless to mobilize soldiers from other places to protect the capital.
Of course, he was holding back and did not dare to call back all his troops.
Li Chuan also frowned. According to historical records, the Jie Li Khan had sent more than 100,000 troops to the Wei River, heading straight for Chang 'an.
The Great Tang had just been pacified, and it could be said that the various regions were short of soldiers. Coupled with the change in power, the hearts of the people were unstable, which was why the Turks had approached the capital to flaunt their might!
However, since he was here, he would not let history happen.
In the blink of an eye, he had a plan.
"Your Highness, this is a dangerous journey. As long as we can take down the main force of the Eastern Turks and lure them in, the Great Tang will no longer have any formidable enemies in the northwest.”Li Chuan thought for a moment and decided to incite Li Er.
