Fight, fight is defeat!
Lin Xuan's words shocked Li Er and Old Sun, and the teacup in their hands could not help but fall to the ground.
"Old Xuan, why do you say that?"
"Our Great Tang has a strong army and many generals. This is a reputation that we have built up from our conquests before the founding of the country!”
"Why are you so sure that you'll lose if you fight against a Turkic?”
Li Er did not speak, but Old Sun, who was at the side, could not sit still and directly questioned him.
He felt that this was somewhat absurd. Putting aside the fact that the army had Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde, and other fierce generals, State Duke Li was still alive. With these people around, could they not flatten the Turkic king's tent?
When Lin Xuan heard this, he smiled and did not speak immediately. Instead, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
If he remembered correctly, he had been in the Great Tang for more than a year, and it was now the second year of Zhenguan.
Many major events happened along the way.
First, Prince Li Yi's rebellion was put down. Then, Li Er merged the provinces and counties of the country into ten provinces, each of which governed several provinces.
Of course, he had also added fuel to the fire during this period.
Regarding this, he had also suspected the identity of Old Li and Old Li, but he quickly rejected it. After all, they were just businessmen. They were not so rich that they could rival a country. They should have some tricks up their sleeves and exchanged benefits with some officials to spread what they had discussed.
Was he here to learn from him again today?
However, these two people were really bold and worried. They were almost more worried about national affairs than those officials.
"Old Xuan, don't keep me in suspense.”
Old Li also spoke at this moment. Seeing that Lin Xuan did not respond for a long time, he was a little anxious.
Immediately, Lin Xuan smiled. In any case, during this period of time, it was normal to discuss national affairs with Old Li and Old Li. Nothing happened, so he continued.
"Presumably, His Majesty has received a request for help from someone in order to attack the Turks?”
"I didn't fight earlier or later. I was just waiting for an opportunity, not to mention nurturing my spirit and accumulating taxes.”
"This opportunity is enough to move His Majesty. After all, the event at Weishui River is still stuck in his throat.”
Lin Xuan was silent for a moment. He recalled the records in the history books of his previous life and spoke calmly.
If he remembered correctly, it was the Turkic Khan Tuli who had sent a messenger to ask for help.
Boom!
As Lin Xuan's words fell, Li Er and Old Sun's expressions changed drastically. The two of them inadvertently looked at each other with shock.
This was because it was indeed as Lin Xuan had guessed!
The small Turkic Khan, Tuli, had sent a messenger to Chang 'an to ask for help. He wanted to join forces with the Great Tang to destroy the Great Khan, Jie Li, but this was a secret. Other than a few important officials, no one else knew about it.
The only person who had come into contact with Lin Xuan was Zhangsun Wuji.
However, he knew the character of the auxiliary machinery. They would never commit such a serious crime.
In other words, this Lin Xuan was deduced by himself?
This was simply a little terrifying, comparable to a god!
"Since the Turkic Khan Tuli has come to ask for help and wants to cooperate with the Great Tang, shouldn't this be a great opportunity?”
Then, Li Er continued to ask.
To be honest, he truly valued this opportunity. After all, during the era of martial virtue, the Great Tang had been bullied by the Eastern Turks.
If his father, Li Yuan, suffered, would he, Li Er, suffer as well?
If he didn't destroy the Turks, he wouldn't be able to sleep.
For this reason, after receiving this news, he immediately called for a meeting between the ruler and his subjects to discuss the attack on the Turks. Fang and Du agreed and quickly came up with a series of plans.
However, when he heard Lin Xuan say this, he was a little hesitant. After all, after interacting with him for so long, he indeed had true talent!
"Before making a decision, you must understand the ins and outs of the matter. Only then can you be invincible!”
"Perhaps you don't know, but the Eastern Turks are already in turmoil, and the little Khagan is the worst of it.”
"There are two reasons why he was willing to send an envoy to ask for help. First, he has been bullied enough by the Great Khan, and second, the Turkic territory is now covered in snow!”
"Do you think the Great Tang has a chance of winning if it sends troops to attack the Eastern Turks?”
Lin Xuan continued. The Central Plains was different from the cold border. They did not have the experience of fighting in ice and snow at all. It was very dangerous to send troops rashly. Even if they won, they would pay a painful price. It was not worth it.
One had to know that when Germany attacked Russia in the past, it suffered a huge loss due to the weather!
And there was something even more fatal!
"If my calculations are correct, there will be a great drought in the east of the river. At that time, there will be no harvest for thousands of miles!”
"The people will be in deep trouble. It will be common to sell children for survival!”
Lin Xuan's expression was a little serious. He Dongdao's drought had a huge impact. After all, it was Taiyuan. It was an important place. If it was not handled well, it would be dangerous.
"Harmony is one thing, but it doesn't have the right time and place.”
"Old Li, do you think this war should be fought or not?”
In the end, Lin Xuan smiled and asked Old Li. It was a pity that the system was not activated. Otherwise, planting potatoes and sweet potatoes could directly solve the harm brought by the drought and make a huge fortune.
