Although he had never heard of such an argument, he was shocked and couldn't help but want to hear more.
Zhangsun Wuhen said indifferently,"
"Using land to serve Qin is like holding firewood to put out a fire.”
He tilted his head and said with a faint smile,"
"Is our Great Tang going to be the destroyed Six Nations and pay tribute to the 'Violent Qin' Turks?”
"Wouldn't that make their national strength stronger while we're weaker? Don't forget, their appetites were not small!”
Everyone was speechless.
Zhangsun Wuji's face turned red. He felt that Zhangsun Wuhen's words were a slap to his face!
However, he could not say a single word to refute. Using the six countries and Qin country as an analogy was really concise and incisive, making it difficult for people to refute!
"What a good way to serve Qin with land, as if you were carrying firewood to put out a fire!”
Li Shiming clapped his hands and praised,
"Wuhen, I didn't expect you to have such high attainments in politics. You're really eloquent. What you said is thought-provoking.”
"You're right, we shouldn't use the resources of the Great Tang to benefit others!”
Zhangsun Wuhen smiled and didn't reply.
This argument was naturally awesome. This was Su Xun's classic work," On the Six Nations." It was already in the language textbook as a teaching material. How could it not be awesome?
He couldn't stand the style of "ceding territory and paying reparations", so he naturally had to come out and refute it!
A mere 100,000 wolves, what was there to be afraid of?
With him around, the Great Tang did not need to grovel and beg for peace.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Li Shimin asked again,"
"But now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, what should we do?”
"Wuhen, brother-in-law wants to hear your opinion.”
With the concise argument just now, Li Shiming valued Zhangsun Wuhen's opinion even more.
Everyone was the same. Their gazes gathered on Zhangsun Wuhen.
They really wanted to hear what other shocking words the young man who could say such an argument could say.
Zhangsun Wuhen's expression did not change as he spat out,"
" Abandon your fantasies and prepare for battle."
Li Shiming chewed on it for a while and asked,"
"What do you mean?"
He vaguely understood, but he did not fully understand.
"The meaning is very simple. Let's just assume that the Turkic army will charge into the pass tomorrow! What should we do now?"
Zhangsun Wuhen said simply.
"What? This…how is this possible…"
Du Ruhui exclaimed.
"How is it impossible? You're not Jie Li Khan."
Zhangsun Wuhen spread his hands and said,
"The greatest advantage of the Turks is their cavalry charge. They are fast, and they catch you off guard!”
"So, to suddenly launch an attack without warning is the most beneficial for them. Perhaps tomorrow, Jie Li Khan will lose his mind and send his troops south? Do you dare to say that it's impossible?"
Du Ruhui was speechless.
The ministers were speechless.
After listening to Zhangsun Wuhen's analysis, it seemed like this was really possible!
The Turkic armies had used this method in the past few invasions…
The atmosphere in the room grew tense, as if a war between the Turks and the Great Tang was about to erupt.
"When I said give up on fantasies, I meant that you don't have to think about other useless things. Now, you only have to consider one thing.”
Zhangsun Wuhen extended a finger and said,
"That is how to fight and how to win the war!”
"Of course, I'm just giving a suggestion. I won't say anything else. After all, that's a matter for you think tanks and generals.”
After saying that, he sat on the stool and continued to close his eyes to rest.
"Your suggestion really makes us a little nervous…"
Li Shi Min smiled bitterly,
"I have to say, you've made my heart ache. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight!”
How could he fall asleep when he thought of the Turks invading tomorrow? He would probably have to think about how to deploy and how to fight.
"I'm afraid we can't sleep either."
Cheng Yaojin also smiled bitterly.
If a war really broke out, they, as generals, would have to act as soon as possible. If they were in a hurry, they might not even have the time to arrange their troops.
It was always good to be mentally prepared and rehearse it hundreds of times in his mind.
"This king is tired. You can all leave. Tomorrow morning, follow this king to the palace to participate in the court meeting.”
Li Shi Min lay down and waved his hand.
"We will take our leave."
The ministers bowed again and left the room.
Only Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuhen, and Zhangsun Wugou were left in the room.
"Hmm…I won't be a third wheel here. I'm leaving.”
Zhangsun Wuhen rubbed his nose and stood up to bid farewell.
"A third wheel? What's that?"
Li Shi Min didn't understand, and then said,
"You brat, don't be in a hurry to leave. I haven't seen her for a few days, and Qing Quan has almost fallen sick from longing for her.”
Zhangsun Wuhen was speechless.
"You don't want to go?"
Li Shiming glared at him, and Zhangsun Wuhen immediately said,
"No, no, I'll go. I'll go now..."
He turned around and left, muttering softly,
"I've never seen someone who pushed his daughter out like this. Is this still his biological father? Really…"
Suddenly, he felt a murderous aura coming from behind him. He didn't dare to say anything more and quickened his pace to leave the wing room and head towards the Embroidered Tower.
"This brat!"
Li Shi Min laughed and scolded,
"What a bastard!"
