After Li Shimin sent the harem out of Chang 'an, he returned to the palace under the protection of the soldiers.
"Your Majesty, General Li Jing, Old Duke Cheng, General Qin, Minister Fang, and Uncle Ye are all waiting for you in the royal study.”
"Why are they waiting for me in the royal study?" Li Shimin frowned.
"Not good, could it be that these fellows have taken a fancy to this one's 'Wine Advancing'?”
Li Shi Min hurried to the royal study.
In the royal study, a group of people were discussing.
It was extremely intense.
Li Shimin heard Cheng Yaojin shouting,""We have to fight!"
Zhangsun Wuji: You're paying, you're paying?"
"I also agree to fight."
"What do you mean?" Li Shimin was confused. Who are you going to hit again? Now that the Great Tang was at peace, why would they fight so easily?”
"Everyone, it was Fang Xuanling who discovered it. Let him speak."”
"Your Majesty, there's an emergency at the Tang border!" Fang Xuanling stepped forward.”
"What place?" Li Shi Min's face turned serious.”
Fang Xuanling pointed at the map.”
Li Shimin saw Fang Xuanling pointing at the border between Tuyuhun and the Great Tang."Tuyuhun, didn't we just repel their small group of attackers? They still dare to cross the border?"
"No, but it'll be soon."”
Li Shi Min let out a sigh of relief and scolded,"When did you learn how to read fortunes? Tell me why it's fast.”
"This matter will start from the internal strife in Tubo!" Fang Xuanling's expression was solemn.”
"What's the connection?" Li Shi Min frowned.”
Fang Xuanling pointed at the map." Your Majesty, please take a look. This place is 6,000 miles away from Chang 'an. This was where the Turks used to be.”
"That's right." Li Shimin nodded.
Fang Xuanling pointed at the map." Just six years ago, in winter, heavy snow fell on the Turks for months. Tens of thousands of cattle and sheep froze to death, and the Turks began to fight.”
"If it weren't for the internal strife of the Turks, we wouldn't have had the chance to take them down so easily."”
" This place is four thousand li from Chang 'an," Fang Xuanling said solemnly." Five years ago, it snowed heavily in winter, freezing one hundred thousand cattle and sheep to death. As a last resort, someone from the Turks contacted the Great Tang.”
Li Shi Min nodded." It has only been a few years. I remember it very clearly. We captured Jili Khan and he is still in Chang 'an. However, I heard that he is seriously ill and is about to die.”
Fang Xuanling pointed at another place." This place is three thousand miles away from Chang 'an. It's the most northwestern border of Tuyuhun."”
"What's wrong?"
"Last year, it snowed heavily for a month."
Fang Xuanling pointed at another place." This place is the hinterland of Tuyuhun. It is two thousand miles away from Chang 'an. It snowed heavily last winter.”
Li Shiming raised his head and looked from the old Turkic land five thousand miles away from Chang 'an to the hinterland of Tuyuhun."This…"
"The weather has been getting colder and colder over the past few years.”
"The area covered by the blizzard is moving southward year by year.”
"Tuyuhun suffered heavy snow last year and didn't have enough food, so they attacked the border of the Great Tang as soon as spring came.”
Fang Xuanling: " This winter, the snow will continue to move southward. Most of the Tuyuhun will be covered in snow. When the time comes, the Tuyuhun will come out in full force and invade the borders of the Great Tang.”
"Huh?"
"If we wait until winter, after Tuyuhun's sneak attack, it will get colder and colder, and normal snow will cover the pass."”
"As for our Great Tang, we can't send troops. We can only wait until next year to deal with Tuyuhun. During this half winter, small groups of Tuyuhun troops will continue to harass the borders of our Great Tang.”
"Our Great Tang has at least six hundred thousand households, and more than one million and eight hundred thousand lives will be threatened by them.”
Li Shi Min studied the map carefully."It's not impossible."
"It should be said that according to the trajectory of the heavy snow and snowstorm moving southward, Tuyuhun will definitely suffer from a snowstorm this winter.”
Li Shi Min raised his head." Minister Fang, you're the best when it comes to preparing for a rainy day!"”
Li Jing nodded." That's right, that's right. But based on the snowfall in the north in recent years, we can deduce that Tuyuhun will invade our borders this winter."”
Fang Xuanling blushed, but he didn't say that Fang Yang had told him about it by chance.
"Your Majesty, I have summoned several ministers to discuss this matter with Your Majesty.”
Li Shi Min: " Yes, this matter is indeed serious, but we have no reason to send troops to attack Tuyuhun now.”
Li Jing cupped his hands." Your Majesty, don't forget that last month, a small group of Tuyuhun troops was repelled by our border troops. This is the reason."”
Li Shimin looked around at them." But, if we attack Tuyuhun now, won't Tuyuhun attack the south in winter?"”
" I don't think it's a good idea to tell you," Fang Xuanling said in a low voice." However, when we attack Tuyuhun, many people will die. We won't be short of food in winter. Naturally, they won't invade the border of the Great Tang."”
"That's right."”
Li Shi Min: " This matter will be discussed in the court tomorrow. Let's see how the beloved ministers will choose."”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise." Fang Xuanling smiled.
Li Shimin frowned." I feel like there's something strange about this. It doesn't seem like Minister Fang's idea."”
Fang Xuanling's face turned even redder and he pretended not to hear her.
