Chang 'an City, East City.
"Old Xuan, I'm here again."
In the tea house, Lin Xuan was taking a nap when Old Li's silly voice sounded.
Old Sun followed behind.
After a few exchanges, Lin Xuan had a good feeling about them. Of course, the most important thing was that they were generous enough.
Otherwise, how could his salary support the living expenses of the tea house?
"Sit, sit."
When Lin Xuan saw this, he hurriedly stood up to welcome them. As he shouted, he made tea for them.
"Old Xuan, have you heard any big news recently?”
After Li Er sat down, he immediately spoke with a mysterious expression.
The Turkic Khagan had sent an envoy to the alliance to ask for help, and this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for the Great Tang. After all, allies on the steppe were extremely rare.
Whether it was during the years of Wude or the alliance at Weishui River, it was a great humiliation for him. Every time he thought of it, he felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat and couldn't sleep at all.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's fighting spirit was also high. They had planned the draft overnight and were waiting for him to issue the decree.
However, on second thought, he decided to ask Lin Xuan first. This was because through the previous few conversations, he discovered that this little eunuch was somewhat intelligent.
"What news?"
Lin Xuan handed over the brewed tea and asked suspiciously.
Old Li was a businessman. Although his status was low, people like him were the most well-informed.
"I've heard that the Turkic Khagan has sent an envoy to the Tang for help.”
Old Li slowly leaned over and whispered.
Even in the Imperial Court, very few people knew about this matter. After all, the implications were too great and could not be leaked at all.
When Lin Xuan heard this, he immediately came to a realization. Ever since he transmigrated, he had not looked at the time. It was already the fourth month of the first year of Zhenguan.
At this time, the Turkic Khagan had indeed sent an envoy to ask for help, but there was also a major matter!
It was a drought and a locust plague in Hedong Road!
"You can't be telling me that the Sage Son of Heaven wants to send troops to attack the Turks, right?”
Then, Lin Xuan sipped his tea and asked Old Li.
As soon as he said this, Old Li and Old Sun's expressions changed. They were a little shocked in their hearts. How did Lin Xuan guess it?
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes at them when he saw this and immediately explained. The Turks were cruel by nature and treated the Han people as two-legged sheep. Now that there was such an opportunity, how could the Sage Son of Heaven let it go?
"That should be the case. Those Turkic barbarians are too hateful.”
"I really hope that the Sage Son of Heaven will send his troops over and wipe them out.”
Li Er also abhorred evil. If Lin Xuan did not have any objections, then he would appoint him after returning to the palace.
"Hehe, if the Sage Son of Heaven really sends his troops, then the Great Tang is finished.”
However, in the next second, Lin Xuan sneered.
Whoosh--
This made Li Er and Old Sun's expressions change again!
"Old Xuan, what do you mean by this? With the strength of our Great Tang's army, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for us to deal with a single Turkic?”
"Moreover, there's still the small Turkic Khagan alliance!”
Li Er frowned and retorted, somewhat dissatisfied with his words.
"That's right. Moreover, our Great Tang still has a War God like Li Jing. How could we possibly lose?”
Old Sun said solemnly. During the alliance at Weishui River, the Great Tang had just been established. At that time, it was true that they could only choose to compromise, but things were different now.
"As the militarists say, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy is never a loss!”
"Let me ask you, has the little Turkic Khagan found out the true reason for his request?”
"Is there a trap?"
Lin Xuan shook his head and said that the two of them were still thinking too simply.
"If my guess is correct, the small Turkic Khagan came to ask for help because the Great Khagan was suppressing him, right?”
Just as Li Er was about to retort, Lin Xuan spoke again.
And this sentence instantly made them feel as if they had been struck by lightning, and their entire faces were filled with shock!
If Lin Xuan guessed that the Sage Son of Heaven wanted to attack the Turks because of national hatred, then he could not use common sense to deduce the reason why the little Khan asked for help!
This was simply a divine plan!
"Old Xuan, don't keep me in suspense."
Immediately, Li Er asked anxiously. He was not stupid and naturally could hear that Lin Xuan definitely knew some secrets.
"Although the two of you are businessmen and knowledgeable, you definitely don't know this.”
"The Eastern Turks are located in the north, and their climate is different from the interior of the pass. This year, they suffered a great snowstorm.”
"The snow should have sealed off the mountain by now. The little Khan's request for help is indeed an opportunity, but the Tang army has no experience fighting in the snow.”
"If the Great Tang sends an army there, not only will they be exhausted from the long journey, but they will also have no one to guide them.”
Lin Xuan sorted out his thoughts and slowly said.
Boom!
For a moment, Li Er stood up, and the shock on his face became even more intense.
"Old Xuan, you can't speak nonsense."
"This place is tens of millions of li away from the Eastern Turks. How did you learn of the snow disaster?”
Li Er was extremely terrified. If it was really as Lin Xuan had said, if the Great Tang sent troops over, they would indeed suffer heavy losses.
