In Han Qiu's courtyard.
"Feel free to sit."
There were a few chairs in Han Qiu's room. After Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling sat down, a young man called Hu Zi ran in from outside and made tea for them.
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling had seen Hu Zi when they came yesterday, so they couldn't help but feel a little familiar with him.
After exchanging a few polite words with Han Qiu, they finally got to the point.
"Uncle Han, I heard that the crops outside are all planted and cultivated by Professor Han. I have a presumptuous request. I would like to ask Uncle Han to teach me how to cultivate.”
Li Shi Min said straightforwardly without beating around the bush.
"Haha, are you asking about the method of planting corn? That's easy. You can ask any farmer who cultivates in the fields, and they will teach you how to grow corn.”
When Han Qiu took out the corn seeds for the farmers to plant, she was preparing for the promotion of corn. corn was a high-yield crop and could be planted separately from wheat.
Even the laziest farmer could grow two crops, wheat, corn…
If a diligent farmer was in an area with sufficient water, he could plant three seasons. After harvesting the corn, he could plant another season…
Hearing Han Qiu's words, Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling immediately realized that the method of planting corn was not difficult. The seeds of the corn were most likely the yellow seeds on the stick…
……
Li Shi Min looked at the old man in front of him as if he had found a treasure.
Han Qiu was also puzzled. These two people were very strange. Why were they so obsessed with corn? Could it be that they also saw the high yield of corn?
"Since the two of you asked about the method of growing corn, then this old man should also ask the two of you. Where did the two of you come from?”
Li Shi Min was speechless when he heard Han Qiu's question. He didn't know how to answer. He didn't want to lie to this peerless expert, but if he told him his true identity, he was worried that Uncle Han would alienate him...
Fang Xuanling was still very smart. Seeing Li Shimin's embarrassment, he immediately replied on Li Shimin's behalf,"We are from Chang 'an, a businessman who deals in food and other crops. The owner's surname is Li, and my surname is Fang.”
" Oh, so you are a merchant from Chang 'an. No wonder you value corn so much. This corn is indeed high-yielding, four to five times more than corn!"”
Han Qiu didn't ask too much about their identities. In Han Qiu's opinion, their identities weren't important. They were just passing by. Han Qiu didn't care about the two of them, so he didn't care about their identities.
"Uncle Han, was the military chess set outside also made by Uncle Han?”
Li Shi Min asked.
" That's right. The military chess set outside was created by me to pass the time…"
"Uncle Han, this junior has a presumptuous request. Can you ask Uncle Han to play a game of chess with this junior?”
When Han Qiu heard this, she smiled and waved her hand."This old man hasn't played chess for a long time.”
"Senior, please guide this junior.”
"Alright, since you want to play a few rounds, then this old man will accompany you.”
Han Qiu and Li Shiming walked to the courtyard and sat down around the chessboard. The two of them began to set up the chess pieces.
Military chess was a blind game. Both sides did not know the other party's formation. Only after meeting would they know what the other party was playing.
For a moment, Li Shi Min felt as if he was on the battlefield, the commander of an army of thousands. Opposite him were the menacing Turks, who were ready to fight!
Wei River as the boundary, he and Turkic army confrontation.
This time, Li Shi Min felt that he had met a strong opponent. When he played chess with Hu Zi yesterday, after familiarizing himself with military chess, he defeated Hu Zi very smoothly.
Now that he was playing chess with Uncle Han, Li Shiming felt as if he was under a mountain of pressure. Even if Uncle Han did not make any moves, he still felt a strange and unpredictable feeling!
This was the battlefield, this was the path of deception!
Fang Xuanling watched from the side. Li Shimin's side had a solemn expression, while Uncle Han's immortal energy was floating. It was obvious who won and who lost.
Fang Xuanling was very curious about Uncle Han's identity. There were many extraordinary people in this world, and a great sage like Uncle Han must be known by many.
Although the farmers of the Han Family called him Uncle Han, he was certain that this Uncle Han was not his real identity. He must have another earth-shattering identity!
Finally, Li Shi Min made his first move.
Uncle Han took a step forward. In Li Shiming's eyes, it was as if an army was pressing down on him, making him unable to breathe!
However, he could not surrender, because he had a mission to win.
In the beginning, sometimes, the enemy would not be merciful to you because of your stubbornness. Uncle Han played chess and pressed forward step by step. Li Shimin lost his city and stronghold. In less than a moment, he was defeated.
In the time for an incense stick to burn, Uncle Han had defeated Li Shi Min!
Phew...
Li Shi Min let out a long breath. He had lost. He had lost cleanly. There was no room for negotiation.
"Uncle Han is amazing!" Li Shi Min praised.
"It's just chess. There are wins and losses."
Han Qiu and Li Shiming returned to the house. Li Shiming thought of the danger in chess and sighed."If the battle at the bank of Weishui River could be like military chess, we could play another game after losing…"
Han Qiu heard the merchant mention the Battle of Weishui River, which was a knot in the heart of the current emperor. This merchant dared to mention it casually. This was only in the Han Family Residence. If this was heard in Chang 'an, he would be taken to the court for questioning!
Could it be?
Han Qiu glanced at Little Li and then at the old house behind him. According to their age, why did these two people look very similar to those two?
Moreover, he was very sensitive when he heard about the Battle of Weishui River?
Seeing that Little Li was dejected, Han Qiu wanted to test him again."The Battle of Weishui River is nothing. It was just a loss. In two years, when the army was strong enough, he would use his plan to drive a wedge between the Turkic tribes and send a good general with one hundred thousand troops to attack the enemy. The Turks would be destroyed!”
For a moment, the small thatched cottage was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling raised their heads in shock. To them, Uncle Han's words were like a bolt from the blue, waking them up from their dreams!
The Turks would be destroyed?
The Turks were Li Shiming's greatest threat. If Li Changsheng had not defeated the Turks, the alliance at the Wei River would have been enough to make Li Shiming suffer. Now that Li Changsheng was no longer in the court, no one dared to mention exterminating the Turks. This was because, apart from Li Changsheng, no one had the confidence to defeat the Turks.
Ever since Li Shi Min ascended the throne, it had been like this.
But today, he heard completely different words and answers!
The Turks would be destroyed!
This was Li Shiming's dream, but it was far from being achievable!
"Uncle Han…Uncle Han, please enlighten me. The Turks are strong, so how can we destroy them? What is the specific policy?" Li Shi Min tensed up.
At this moment, he was most afraid of one thing. He was afraid that Uncle Han would speak without thinking. If Uncle Han was just talking on paper, then he would be happy for nothing!
" It's just a casual chat. I can't talk about the specific policy…"
When Li Shi Min heard this, his expression changed slightly. Was it just a casual chat?
Perhaps it was all for naught.
Li Shiming was extremely disappointed. Was the Great Tang going to be oppressed by the Turks forever?
Just as Li Shiming was feeling depressed, Han Qiu said,"The Turks live outside the Great Wall and live as nomads. They have a small population and many tribes. The two Khans are on bad terms. Tuli Khans could have inherited the throne, but his uncle stole it. In the fourth year of Wude, Tuli Khans was defeated and whipped by the Khans, causing the two to have a deep grudge.”
Li Shi Min listened quietly. He felt that Uncle Han would definitely be able to tell him the method to exterminate the Turks.
"Using a plan to sow discord between the two of them, causing the two to fight. The Turks will suffer from internal strife and be unable to move south. When one side is weak, I will send a Great General with one hundred thousand cavalry deep into the desert and subdue the entire desert. The Turks will definitely surrender, and I will be able to kill or imprison them as I wish.”
Han Qiu drank as he talked. What he said was about to happen. By saying it in advance, he was just predicting what would happen in the future.
Han Qiu had also decided on the general he would send. It was the most inconspicuous of the many disciples, Li Jing.
As for Li Changsheng, Yuwen Cheng, Li Yuanba, and Luo Yi, they were either dead or living in seclusion in the mountains and forests. The only one left was the good-for-nothing Li Jing.
Uncle Han's words made Li Shiming feel like his vision had suddenly opened up! This was simply a strategy for Li Shiming to destroy the Turks.
Li Shi Min suddenly stood up and cupped his hands,"Senior is wise, junior admires you!”
"Haha, it's just a casual chat. It was just a prediction of what would happen in the fourth year of Zhenguan!”
Prophecy!
Li Shiming and Fang Xuanling exchanged a glance. Did Uncle Han already know their identities?
If he didn't know their identities, but could predict the events of the fourth year of Zhenguan, wouldn't he be an old immortal?
Li Shiming admired Han Qiu, but he also had many things he wanted to ask.
