A cold glint flashed across Yun Buhen's eyes.
In history, it was during the Black Tortoise Sect's coup that Jie Li Khagan invaded the Great Tang.
The entire north had turned into a battlefield, countless civilians trampled to death by the Turkic cavalry.
His Youzhou was the gateway to the north.
"Swoosh!"
Yun Buhen turned around and looked at the Youzhou officials in front of him.
"Everyone, although this official has ambitions and covets this world, I am not a fool.”
"But that is an internal matter of the Han people. If you want me to disregard the lives of the people of Youzhou and even the people of the north for the sake of the world, then I can't do it.”
Yun Buhen's meaning was clear. He wanted to give up on going south to fight for the world and choose to defend the north against the foreign tribes.
Shen Wansan, Yue Fei, Chen Xun, and the Youzhou officials were all shocked. They looked at Yun Buhen with admiration.
Because they knew that if Yun Buhen really wanted to take advantage of the situation, he could really rule the Great Tang.
But Yun Buhen gave up. He chose to protect the rivers and mountains.
"If I, Yun Buhen, take a fancy to this empire in the future, I will naturally snatch it from Li Shiming's hands openly.”
"But before that, we will never allow any foreign races to trample on our Central Plains."
Although Yun Buhen's face was pale and looked sickly, the aura that erupted at this moment was not weak in the slightest.
"We will obey!"
Everyone bowed. They would not refute Yun Buhen's decision.
Especially Yue Fei, he was even more excited about Yun Buhen's decision.
Because he hated the Outsiders very much, he was naturally happy to know that Yun Buhen was going to put all his energy into fighting the Outsiders.
At this moment, they were just waiting for Chang 'an Fortress to take action.
If the Black Tortoise Sect's rebellion erupted, the Turks would follow suit. After all, every time there was a change in the imperial power, it would cause chaos in the world.
Even when Li Shiming had just ascended the throne, he had almost died.
During the alliance at the Wei River, if not for the fact that Jie Li Khan had cowered, the Great Tang might have followed the example of the Sui Dynasty and perished.
The entire Youzhou Province looked very peaceful on the surface. But in fact, there was already an undercurrent surging.
However, Youzhou Province was not the same as before.
Youzhou currently had 200,000 troops, and Yun Buhen was even more skilled in terms of supplies. He bought modern military rations in the same city.
It was the kind of military rations that had been compressed and could be quickly heated and eaten.
Yun Buhen had all the different versions of the game. They could be bought from restaurants and delicacies at an extremely low price. In times of war, the use of these rations was simply unimaginable.
Because in this era, if the army wanted to eat during a war, they had to bury their pots and cook.
But Yun Buhen was different! As long as he tore open the packaging and followed the instructions, the food would be cooked.
It was delicious and could resist hunger.
It could be said that whether it was speed or practicality, it was the best in the current era.
Everything was ready. The next step was to look at Chang 'an Fortress.
After a tiring day, Yun Buhen returned to the Provincial Governor's Office under Li Yuanba's escort.
"I don't hate you."
Just like before, his mother had been standing outside the mansion, looking forward to it. No matter the weather, as long as it was this time every day, her mother would wait for Yun Buhen here.
"Mother, it's windy outside. You really don't have to wait for me here in the future.”
Yun Buhen held his mother's hand and said with heartache.
His mother, Zhangsun Yun, shook her head and smiled to show that she was fine.
The mother and son entered the manor. Mother had already prepared delicious food. Although the dishes might not be as good as the ones bought from restaurants, they were Yun Buhen's favorite.
This was because his mother had personally made all these.
However, his mother still took care of his daily life.
And his mother's favorite saying was that when he had a wife in the future, he could hand himself over to her.
Yun Buhen's mouth would twitch every time he heard this because he was only thirteen years old! However, from his mother's words, she was actually going to find a wife for him.
However, there were countless men in this world who got married at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
Some wealthy families had even gotten married at his age.
"Oh right, Buhen, I heard from the guards just now that there might be a war?”
The mobilization of Youzhou's troops was no secret. Now, Yun Buhen was the spiritual pillar of Youzhou. It could be said that the people trusted Yun Buhen very much.
They firmly believed that the Provincial Governor could protect Youzhou.
Yun Buhen replied as he buried his head in his meal.
"Well, the battle for the throne in Chang 'an City should be about to begin.”
"This time, whether it's Li Jiancheng or Li Shiming, one of them will probably die. No matter who won or lost, the world would probably be in chaos.”
"I've received news that the Turks in the north are already mobilizing their army. They're waiting for Chang 'an to undergo a major change before attacking the Great Tang.”
"At that time, war will break out. But mother, rest assured that Youzhou's strength is unrivaled. Let alone the Turks, even if the Great Tang were to join in, I wouldn't be afraid.”
Yun Buhen even consoled his mother.
"Bang!"
However, just as Yun Buhen finished speaking, his mother's eyes turned dull. The bowl and chopsticks in her hands fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The entire hall was instantly silent. Yun Buhen was even more shocked and hurriedly stood up.
"Mother, what's wrong? Are you hurt?"
His first reaction was to see if his mother was injured.
