Qin Huaiyu sat there and ate by himself. His portion was the same as Li Chengqian's, and the taste was not bad. However, when Li Shiming asked, he hurriedly put down his wine glass.
"Your Majesty, are you calling me?" he asked curiously.”
Although he knew that today's action was unprecedented, Li Shimin should have asked the War God Li Jing about the war with the Turks. At the very least, there was still Yuchi Gong, Zhangsun Wuji, and even Qin Shubao.
Why did she suddenly ask him?
Qin Huaiyu's appearance made all the high officials in Lin De Hall laugh.
Only now did they remember that Qin Huaiyu was only a teenager.
Li Shi Min didn't get angry and nodded at him.
Qin Huaiyu wiped his hands and said,""Your Majesty, in my opinion, this battle must be fought, but with the Great Tang's current military strength and wealth, if the Five Families and Seven Wangs interfere, the Great Tang will be defeated.”
"Perhaps, we have no chance of victory at all.”
Qin Huaiyu was speaking the truth. He was familiar with the history of the Great Tang, so how could he not know about the humiliation of the Weishui Alliance?
But the Great Tang did not pay much attention to the Turks.
Qin Shubao glanced at him and said,""Huaiyu, be careful with your words and actions. The Turks have only occupied the steppe and used their cavalry to run amok. In a true battle, how can our Great Tang lose?”
"Do you really think that your uncles are old?”
Qin Shubao seemed to be criticizing him, but he had placed Qin Huaiyu in the position of a junior. This way, he would not be punished no matter what.
Li Shi Min could tell, but he just smiled and didn't say anything.
Yuchi Gong also said," Huaiyu, you have never been to the battlefield. You don't know how the Turks march. They are at the border. Once they attack the border, Chang 'an will know in a few days.”
"We can stop them at Jingyang. At that time, the Turks will have nowhere to go and will be at our mercy.”
"Thus, the Great Tang is not afraid of his attacks, but of his harassment and encroachment!”
Qin Huaiyu looked at Yuchi Gong, his memories flashing through his mind. In history, Yuchi Gong had fought the first battle against the Turks, and it had been a fierce battle at Jingyang. Yuchi Gong had been unstoppable, capturing the enemy general Ashidewumeicui alive and killing more than a thousand Turkic cavalry.
But it still failed to stop the Turkic army of two hundred thousand.
At that time, there were only ten thousand soldiers in Chang 'an. If Jie Li Khan had not been frightened and charged straight into Chang' an, there would not have been the Zhenguan rule of the later generations. It was indeed dangerous.
Qin Huaiyu smiled but did not speak.
Li Shi Min put down his wine glass and said,""Do you know why I beheaded these people at the Black Tortoise Sect and not elsewhere?”
Li Shi Min's question caused everyone to fall silent.
The heart of an emperor was unfathomable. Who dared to say anything at this time?
Li Shi Min answered his own question. He didn't give anyone any time to answer and said directly,"The five surnames and seven Wangs don't have the guts to rebel against me. They just want to find some trouble for me.”
"Let me pay more attention to them and make their lives better.”
"I was born in the Li family and knew the habits of the aristocratic families, but I never thought of really attacking them. However, the Five Families and Seven Wangs extended their hands to the border. The rare things in the grassland were exchanged for a large amount of money for them.”
"The Turks are now strong and have spies. The Turks and the border have more than one hundred thousand men.”
"If these 100,000 cavalrymen charge through the border, who do you think can stop them?”
Li Shi Min's voice was very soft, but the entire Lin De Hall was like a storm that was about to come. It was extremely depressing, and even Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong did not speak.
In this era, one hundred thousand Turkic cavalry was enough to destroy everything.
Li Shi Min looked at the crowd, as if he had not had enough. He stood up and said,""Jing De also said that if the Turks break through, they will definitely be intercepted at Jingyang Path.”
"But what if the people of the five surnames and seven Wangs intercept the envoy? From the border to Chang 'an, they would definitely pass through the fiefs of the Five Families and Seven Wangs.”
"Of course, this one is not only worried about this. What this one does not want to see the most is that the strength of the Turks is not limited to what we have discovered. What if there are more than one hundred thousand soldiers?”
Cheng Yaojin sat there and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But there seemed to be nothing much to say. Under absolute military pressure, no matter how powerful one's tactics were, it was useless. Moreover, they had fought with the Jie Li Khagan before. The Turks were no fools, and because of the sufferings of the steppe, they were even more savage.
100,000 cavalrymen broke through the pass and charged straight for Chang 'an!
Such a scene even appeared in everyone's minds.
Qin Huaiyu looked at Li Shiming, his heart filled with shock. He knew all about the history of the Great Tang, but Li Shiming had no idea at all. He had actually been able to see so far ahead.
No wonder the Turks were wiped out in less than four years after the alliance at the Wei River.
But Qin Huaiyu knew that the Weishui Alliance was a lifelong humiliation for Li Shimin and the Great Tang.
Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but feel his blood boil. In history, the Turks had broken through the pass and forced their way to the Wei River. Could he not change that now that he was here?
He clearly remembered that he had changed the course of history.
He clenched his fists, lowered his eyes, and picked up the helmet on the table."Your Majesty, although the Turks are strong, the Great Tang is not at the end of its rope. I have a plan that may lead to victory!”
