Just as Lin Han was building the walls to defend against the Turkic army…
There was news from Youzhou that Li Jing had led his army to attack the Turkic camp at night, forcing the Turkic army of one hundred thousand to retreat.
Li Jing seized this opportunity to pursue.
When the news reached Chang 'an, Li Shimin and the civil and military officials were overjoyed.
However, Lin Han, who was in Qinghe County, was frowning.
He took out the notebook of the early Tang Dynasty and quickly opened it.
"In the seventh month of the second year of Zhenguan, Li Jing defeated the Turkic army in Youzhou. He then led his troops to pursue the victory and went deep into Mobei.”
"Looks like I wasn't wrong before."
After reading the record, Lin Han put away the booklet.
The first time he read the record book of the early Tang Dynasty, he remembered that there was an introduction to this incident.
It was now July, and the news of Li Jing's defeat of the Turkic army in Youzhou coincided with the time recorded in the early Tang records.
This made Lin Han very worried.
"Lin Han, what are you doing in the room?”
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin pushed open the door and walked in.
"I've just received news that Li Jing led his army to attack the Turkic camp at night in Youzhou and defeated the Turkic army of one hundred thousand.”
As he said this, his face was filled with excitement, as if he had participated in it himself.
Lin Han ignored him. He picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write the memorial.
"Lin Han, I'm talking to you. Didn't you hear me?”
" I'm going to report to His Majesty immediately," Lin Han said as he wrote." I want him to order General Li Jing to stop chasing. If he continues, the consequences will be unimaginable."”
"What? Stop chasing? Are you out of your mind?”
"It wasn't easy for us to push back the Turkic army," Cheng Yaojin said furiously."We should pursue them now and send them back to their hometown."”
Lin Han said with a serious expression," You only know one thing and don't know the other. Once July arrives, the temperature in the depths of the desert will drop rapidly. If he continues to pursue, he will definitely die once he encounters a snowstorm and no food supplies.”
Cheng Yaojin frowned." Are you serious? How did you know that there would be a snowstorm in the north of the desert?”
"I guessed. Anyway, listen to me."”
Cheng Yaojin laughed." You guessed it. How can you stop the army from chasing?"”
"Besides, it's useless for me to listen to you. His Majesty has to listen to you.”
Cheng Yaojin did not believe Lin Han at all.
"I will try my best to convince His Majesty to listen to me," Lin Han said.”
Soon, Lin Han's memorial was sent to Chang 'an.
After the previous few incidents, Li Shiming believed Lin Han's words without a doubt.
But he couldn't make a decision at will.
Therefore, after receiving Lin Han's memorial, he immediately summoned Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others to the Dew Hall for a meeting.
"Beloved ministers, Lin Han has just sent a memorial. He wants me to order General Li to give up on pursuing the Turkic army.”
"What? Give up on the Turkic army? How can we let go of such a good opportunity?”
"Right, the Turks bullied us so badly before. Now that we have a chance to counterattack, how can we let it go?”
Everyone chose to object.
"Lin Han mentioned in his report that there will soon be a snowstorm in the north of the desert," Li Shimin said with a serious expression.”
"Once General Li leads his troops deeper, they might encounter a snowstorm. At that time, if the rations can't keep up, there will be the danger of being completely annihilated.”
"Nonsense!" Du Ruhui coldly said."The Turkic steppe is currently in a beautiful weather. How could there be a snowstorm?"”
"That's right," Fang Xuanling said."Magistrate Lin is just trying to scare us. Your Majesty, don't believe him."”
"Have you forgotten that Lin Han knows how to observe the weather?" Li Shiming asked.”
"You said that the flood wouldn't happen, but what happened in the end?”
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling fell silent.
Although they felt that Lin Han was spouting nonsense.
However, Lin Han's predictions had all come true.
If it was true this time, Li Shiming would blame them.
Therefore, the best way was to remain silent.
Seeing that everyone remained silent, Li Shi Min's face darkened.
"I asked you to come here to discuss, not to be mute.”
Zhangsun Wuji cupped his hands and said," Your Majesty, we don't know anything about the weather. I suggest that Your Majesty ask Lord Li of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau."”
"He knows both the weather and geography. He might even know the weather on the Turkic side.”
Li Shi Min coldly snorted,"Saying it is equivalent to not saying it. You may leave!"”
"Yes."
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly retreated.
After everyone left, Li Shi Min paced back and forth in the Dew Palace.
Li Jing had repelled the Turkic army, and this was a good opportunity to pursue.
However, if it was really as Lin Han said, and there would be a snowstorm in the north of the desert, then once Li Jing's troops were trapped, they would definitely be wiped out.
"Looks like I'll have to ask Li Chunfeng.”
Regarding the weather, Li Shimin felt that it was useless to ask the ministers, so he had to ask Li Chunfeng.
Li Shimin left the Dew Hall and headed towards the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor.
When Li Shimin arrived at the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, he saw Li Chunfeng standing on a high platform, looking into the distance as if he was observing the weather.
