Li Shimin asked Lin Yun.
This surprised Cheng Yaojin and the other man.
Why would His Majesty ask Lin Yun this question?
Li Shimin seemed to be asking Lin Yun about the relationship between the Great Tang and the Turks.
In truth, he was asking how the Great Tang should treat the Turks.
Should he fight with all his might or rope them in for peace talks?
This had been debated in court for years.
The pro-war faction and the pro-war faction had been arguing endlessly.
Each of them had their own reasons.
He could not convince the other party at all.
Li Shi Min couldn't make up his mind.
Could it be…
Lin Yun could give a final conclusion and explain the reason?
The two of them did not believe it.
It was a matter of state that even the officials could not resolve.
Lin Yun was a remote farmer, how could he solve it!
Even if this farmer had some skills and talent!
That was absolutely impossible!
Lin Yun looked at Li Shiming with surprise after hearing his question, then smiled and said,"
"After the autumn harvest, there will definitely be a war between the two countries!”
Lin Yun's words.
Li Shi Min and the other two were stunned!
Not only because of Lin Yun's words, but also because of the certainty on his face.
After a long time, Cheng Yaojin put down the wine bowl.
Although he really wanted Lin Yun to be telling the truth...
Fight the Turks.
It was simply impossible with the current situation, so he refuted Lin Yun,
"That's impossible. A few months ago, the Turks sent envoys with horses and a thousand taels of gold to discuss the alliance between the two countries, and now the court is in the mood to negotiate with the Turks. How could the two countries suddenly start a war?”
After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, Du Ruhui nodded.
He expressed his agreement.
Only Li Shi Min looked at Lin Yun with a pair of emotionless eyes.
He waited for his explanation.
Lin Yun smiled and continued,"
"In the past few years, the Great Tang has been plagued by natural disasters, either droughts or earth dragons. But the Turks haven't had it easy either. Last winter, heavy snow fell on the Turks 'side, killing and injuring countless cattle, sheep, civilians, and soldiers. Their food reserves were completely depleted!”
"At this moment, in order to stabilize the situation and replenish their reserves, the Turks will definitely invade the Great Tang after the autumn harvest and pillage!”
Hiss!
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Li Shimin and the other two sucked in a cold breath.
He was so shocked that he couldn't speak!
They knew about the Turkic snow.
But they didn't know that the Turks had suffered countless casualties.
They had no way of knowing the Turkic grain reserves!
If what Lin Yun said was true...
That the Turks had gone south was not a lie!
Lin Yun took a sip of wine and continued,
"Of course, if the cowardly Duolu Khagan was still alive, he might not have started a war with the Great Tang. Coincidentally, last winter, Duolu suddenly died and the new king lost his position.”
Duolu Khagan died suddenly!
How could we not know!
Hearing this news, Li Shi Min and the other two's eyes widened.
Cheng Yaojin was shocked and stood up.
From this, one could see the waves in the hearts of Li Shi Min and the other two.
How turbulent!
"As far as I know, this Lishi is a ruthless and brainless man with wild ambitions. In order to consolidate his regime, he will definitely go south and wage war against the Great Tang!”
"As for the Turkic diplomatic mission that came to the Great Tang several months ago, it was probably a delaying tactic for the Great Tang's harvest after autumn!”
Lin Yun slowly explained his judgment.
As for Li Shimin and the other two, they vaguely heard Lin Yun's last two sentences.
His heart was still immersed in the news of Duolu's sudden death.
Lin Yun didn't say anything when he saw the three people standing there.
He drank the wine by himself.
After a long time, Li Shi Min and the other two regained their senses.
He looked at Lin Yun in shock.
However, he was still a little suspicious.
They hadn't received any news, so how did Lin Yun know?
Li Shi Min asked,
"Lin Yun, how did you get this information?”
Lin Yun replied,"
"Since last winter, the number of Turkic merchants in Qingtian County has increased by twenty percent compared to previous years, and they're even selling fur in exchange for food.
The number of disaster victims from the Turks had also increased by thirty percent!”
"Although these Turkic merchants and disaster victims are tight-lipped, it's easy to deduce!”
"As for Duolu's sudden death and the loss of his position, that was something I learned from a conversation between two Turkic merchants!”
Seeing Lin Yun's logical explanation, it seemed like he was serious.
Li Shi Min and the other two believed him even more.
Li Shi Min made up his mind.
Immediately send all the elites of Landscape Sect to investigate the authenticity of this matter.
Cheng Yaojin, who was at the side, glared at him and said angrily,"
"The Turks are full of wild ambitions and want to catch us off guard! His heart should be punished!"
Lin Yun smiled."
"Hehe, isn't this normal? In truth, the Great Tang and the Turks were bound to fight sooner or later. If I were a Turkic Khagan, I would have made the same choice!”
"Of course, if I were Li Er, I would take advantage of this moment of weakness to strike at the Turkic nest and wipe out this threat!”
Du Ruhui and Li Shimin shrunk their necks when they heard Lin Yun calling the Emperor by his name.
Seeing that Li Shi Min wasn't annoyed.
Instead, his eyes shone brightly.
He didn't know what she was thinking.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
The two of them did not know that they had unknowingly…
He had already treated Lin Yun as one of his own!
It wasn't just because of the hotpot and wine, but also because of Lin Yun's information!
A moment later, Li Shimin looked at Lin Yun and asked,"
"Lin Yun, what do you think of the current Emperor?”
After asking, Li Shiming looked at Lin Yun without moving his eyes.
Du Ruhui and the other man became nervous again.
He did not even dare to breathe loudly.
He was afraid that Lin Yun would say such rebellious words and anger Li Shimin.
Lin Yun glanced at Li Shiming, took a sip of wine, and casually said,"
"Li Er! He's not a good person!"
