"Bang!"
Wang Chen had just finished speaking when the cup in Zhangsun Wuji's hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
Not only Zhangsun Wuji, but Li Shiming's hand that was holding the wine glass was also slightly trembling.
It was obvious that the two of them were not calm.
Wang Chen looked at Zhangsun Wuji with a puzzled expression.
"I'm sorry, shopkeeper. I heard that there might be a war at the border and lost control of myself.”
Realization dawned on Wang Chen's face. He got up and swept away the broken pieces on the ground. Then, he went to the cabinet to change Zhangsun Wuji's cup.
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhangsun Wuji and Li Shiming looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.
How did the tavern owner know that the Great Tang was about to start a war with the Turks? This news had not yet spread, and was only being discussed among Li Shiming, Zhangsun Wuji, and Fang Xuanling.
A few days ago, the Eastern Turkic Khan Tuli had secretly sent someone to Chang 'an to ask for Li Shimin's help, wanting to destroy the Great Khan Jie Li.
In response to this matter, Minister of War Du Ruhui petitioned to send troops to attack the Turks and take their lands back to the Great Tang.
Li Shi Min had already made up his mind and was prepared to follow Du Ruhui's instructions.
However, this matter was absolutely confidential. Tuli Khagan was worried that Jie Li would find out, so the messenger had come secretly. Other than Li Shiming and a few important officials, no one knew.
Li Shiming believed that Zhangsun Wuji and the others wouldn't have nothing better to do and leak this news to the shopkeeper of the tavern.
So…Wang Chen analyzed it based on his own ability?
The two of them forcefully suppressed the shock in their hearts and watched as Wang Chen brought over a new wine glass.
"Shopkeeper, how did you know that the Turks were about to start a war with our Great Tang?”
"As merchants, we are truly worried.”
Wang Chen handed the wine cup to Zhangsun Wuji.
"The Great Tang and the Turks have a feud that has existed since the founding of the Great Tang.”
"In addition to that incident of a few years ago, I believe that the wise and mighty Emperor will never forget such a great humiliation. As long as there is an opportunity, he will send troops to attack the Turks.”
"Isn't this opportunity here now? I'm sure His Majesty won't let it go.”
A strange light flashed in Li Shi Min's eyes.
"I wonder what this so-called opportunity is?”
"The Turkic Khagans, the two of them have always had a feud.”
Wang Chen could be considered to be having fun. In addition, he thought that the two ordinary businessmen would probably just treat it as a story, so he did not hide it.
"Tuli and Jie Li are uncle and nephew, and their enmity will not rest until one of them dies. I think it's about to explode. Do you think Tuli, who has always been on good terms with the Great Tang, will ask His Majesty for help?”
"This is the opportunity that His Majesty has been waiting for. That's why I said that a great war will break out at any moment.”
……
"Gulp."
Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji looked at each other, their scalps tingling with shock.
Was this a god descending to the mortal world?
Although it was just a brief description, the cause and effect were not wrong at all.
Could this be the legendary saying of not stepping out of the door but being able to control the world?
Just as the monarch and his subjects were still in shock, Wang Chen's voice rang out again.
"However, I say that the two of you don't have to worry about anything. There's an 80 - 90% chance that this war won't start.”
This sentence instantly tugged at the heartstrings of Li Shi Min and his subjects.
"Please enlighten me. I'm willing to hear the details."
"Because if you don't fight, you'll be fine. If you fight, you'll definitely lose.”Wang Chen said casually.
！！！
Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji were shocked.
He would definitely lose if he fought?
What was going on?
"Why do you say we'll definitely lose? Under His Majesty's wise command, our Great Tang is powerful, and we have a famous general like State Duke Li. How can we not defeat the Turks?”
Wang Chen downed the wine in his cup.
"I'll tell you today. Don't tell anyone.”
As he spoke, he stood up.
"The enmity between Tuli Khagan and Jie Khagan has been going on for a long time. It's not just a day or two. Why did it have to erupt now?”
Wang Chen's tone was intoned, causing Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji to be affected by his every move.
"It's because of the heavy snow in the north and the freezing weather that Jie Li's cattle and sheep have suffered a lot. That's why they want to get some benefits from Tuli.”
"Tuli couldn't stand it anymore, so he sent someone to ask for help from the Great Tang.”
"Once His Majesty fails to find out about the heavy snow and cold weather in the north, he will definitely suffer heavy losses if he rashly sends out his army. Therefore, he will definitely lose if he fights.”
Zhangsun Wuji finally couldn't help but stand up and say,"Shopkeeper, the north is tens of millions of miles away from here. You never leave your house, so how did you know?”
Wang Chen smiled.
"Not only do I know that the north is snowing nonstop, but I also know that the eastern part of the Great Tang is suffering from a drought.”
"The population of Hedong Road is quite large, and there's a drought. Do you think this war can still be fought?”
……
"Bang!"
This time, the cup in Li Shiming's hand fell to the ground.
"There's a drought in the east of the river. Not a single blade of grass grows in a thousand miles. This…"
He was the emperor. This news was too explosive for him, and his emotions could not help but surge.
