Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shiming in surprise.
He did not know why His Majesty would suddenly ask this question.
In fact, this rumor was like a thorn in Li Shiming's heart for a long time.
He had to spit it out. Taking advantage of the alcohol, he wanted to see what Li Yun, this stranger, would say.
Ignoring Fang Xuanling's surprised gaze, he looked at Li Yun nervously.
Li Yun slowly took a sip of osmanthus wine and said,
" Pure bullsh * t!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two people at the table were shocked!
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up and he was in high spirits!
"Natural disasters and man-made disasters. If it's a punishment arranged by the heavens, then the former Sui Dynasty was so absurd that the people were in dire straits.”
"Naturally, there are traces to follow. This year's Guanzhong has been rainy, and the temperature is lower than usual. It's not surprising that such a situation would occur.”
"Furthermore, I believe that this snow disaster is not a punishment from the heavens, but a reward!”
Li Yun said firmly.
He was slightly drunk now, so he spoke very boldly.
"Reward?"
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling immediately sobered up and looked at Li Yun in confusion!
"What do you mean?" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but ask.
Li Yun drank until he was excited. He moved the chopsticks on the table to the side, dipped his fingers in the wine, and gestured on the table.
"Look, this is a map of the Great Tang. This line starts from the Helan Mountain Range in the west and ends at the Sui Great Wall in the north!”
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling both came over and looked in the direction Li Yun was pointing.
"Don't you think that this dividing line looks very awkward?”
"If that's the case, doesn't it look much better?”
Li Yun wiped the thread clean with his hand.
"If the snow falls, the Eastern Turks will suffer even more than the Guanzhong Pass. Countless cattle, sheep, and people will freeze to death, and this is the time when they are at their weakest.”
"If we march north at this time, we'll definitely be able to destroy the Eastern Turks and take the Mongol Plateau into the Great Tang's territory!”
As soon as Li Yun finished speaking, the table immediately fell silent.
Fang Xuanling and Li Shiming were both shocked!!
Countless thoughts flashed through Li Shi Min's mind!
Li Yun's words were like a beacon of light for him!!
The depression and entanglement that he had been feeling these days were swept away!
The Eastern Turks had always been a pain in his heart.
Besides the incident at Xuanwu Sect, the alliance at Weishui River was the biggest humiliation he had ever suffered!
Although Tuli Khagan had defected to the Great Tang two years ago, Jie Li Khagan was still in charge of the Eastern Turks.
As long as he was around, Li Shiming would never be able to remove the thorn in his heart.
"But our Great Tang is also in serious trouble.”
"There is a phenomenon of food shortage in all parts of Guanzhong. If we send troops at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of manpower and money?”
Fang Xuanling was shocked by Li Yun's words!
He knew the current Emperor very well.
He knew of his obsession with the Turks and his fear that he would be tricked by Li Yun into attacking the Eastern Turks.
After saying that, he glanced at Li Shiming.
As expected, that person looked agitated!
Fang Xuanling's heart tightened!
"If a person who has achieved great things doesn't even have this bit of courage, how can he become a famous monarch?”
Li Yun said indifferently.
It was over!
If he said that, wouldn't he release the tiger that Li Shi Min had been suppressing?
"Ever since the change of year to Zhenguan, our Great Tang has been accumulating strength. Although we have encountered heavy snow, we still have surplus grain in Guanzhong.”
"But the Turks are different. Their tradition is to deposit snow when it snows in winter to protect their pastures.”
"This method is understandable in previous years. The grass wrapped in snow will grow even more luxuriantly in the coming year.”
"But they would never have thought that the snow would be endless this year!”
" Therefore, such habitual actions will lead them into the abyss. It will be too late to remedy the situation!”
"If we don't attack now, are we going to wait until the Turks run out of food and plunder the south before we counterattack?”
"It's better to strike first!"
Li Yun poured another glass of wine and downed it in one gulp!
"We have to let the Turks know."
"From now on, attack and defend the Aliens!!”
"If he can go, I can go too!”
Li Shi Min felt his blood start to boil!
"Well said!"
He shouted loudly!
Destroying the Eastern Turks was Li Shimin's first major goal since he took over the government!
For this reason, he went against the rule of the previous dynasty that officials were not allowed to bring weapons into the palace.
Every day, he would lead hundreds of soldiers to practice archery in Xiande Hall and build an elite army!
This was the battle to make the country rich and powerful!
This Li Yun simply spoke to his heart!!
Seeing this, Fang Xuanling didn't care about the grudge between monarch and minister and hurriedly pulled him back secretly.
He shook his head and said," The granary in Guanzhong is not as abundant as you think. The porridge stalls in Chang 'an are gradually running out of supplies.”
"When we came here, we heard the people talking about how the porridge is getting thinner by the day.”
Li Shi Min calmed down after hearing this.
He knew better than anyone about the amount of grain stored in the official warehouse. There was indeed not much left.
Unexpectedly, Li Yun sneered after hearing this.
"Who told you that all the grain in Guanzhong is in the official warehouse?”
"We haven't even found a shop selling grain along the way. There's no surplus grain in the people's homes.”Fang Xuanling said hesitantly.
"Of course, the commoners definitely don't have any surplus food. There's no doubt about this.”Li Yun said.
"But just because there is no food in circulation in the market doesn't mean that there is really no food.”
"What do you mean?" Li Shi Min was shocked!
