Five days later, from Jingyao Sect in the north of Chang 'an, a horse galloped through the dust.
The soldiers on horseback waved the flag in their hands and shouted at the top of their lungs,""Urgent report from the border, idle people retreat!"
"Urgent report from the border, idle people retreat!"
When the soldiers guarding the city saw the flag, their expressions changed drastically. They immediately dispersed the people who were queuing up to enter the city.
The horse passed through the city gate and continued toward the imperial city in the middle of Chang 'an.
At this moment, Li Shi Min was waiting anxiously in the royal study.
It had been seven days, but there was still no news from the border, making him a little anxious.
"Wuji, do you think Mr. Qin's conclusion is correct?”
Zhangsun Wuji, who was sitting by the side, said helplessly,"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. We'll know within two days.”
Before Zhangsun Wuji could finish speaking, a loud shout came from outside the study,"
"Your Majesty, urgent report from the border!"
"Urgent report from the border!"
Li Shi Min suddenly stood up and rushed to the door of the study room. He saw a soldier covered in dust and standing there panting.
When the soldier saw Li Shi Min come out, he didn't even have time to take his luggage. He immediately took out a small bamboo tube and presented it to Li Shi Ming.
Li Shi Min didn't have time to say anything else. He opened the bamboo tube and took out a piece of silk.
Li Shi Min's eyes narrowed and his hands trembled as he handed the silk to Zhangsun Wuji.
Zhangsun Wuji took a look and turned pale with fright.
"The Turkic territory has been snowing heavily for an entire month without stopping. More than five hundred thousand of the Jie Li Khan's cattle and sheep have been killed or injured. The snow is three feet deep in the low-lying areas.”
Zhangsun Wuji couldn't believe his eyes. He even read it several times, afraid that he would miss out on some information.
It was only when Li Shiming finally calmed down and waved his hand to signal for the soldiers to retreat that Zhangsun Wuji finally reacted.
"Your Majesty, I still don't understand how Mr. Qin could be in Chang 'an and know about the heavy snow in the Turkic territory thousands of miles away.”
"Don't say that you don't understand. Even I don't know what's going on. Could it be that this Mr. Qin is really a god who has descended to the mortal world?”
Li Shi Min looked at the four sentences hanging in his study room, confused.
Although there were people in the Great Tang who understood astronomical phenomena, no one could see a thousand li away and make such precise deductions.
Was this really something a human could do?
Even Li Shiming, the Emperor of the Great Tang, was completely dumbfounded.
After a long silence, Li Shi Min said,""Xuanfang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng will be added to my study!”
Li Shi Min gave the order and the guard immediately left.
Not long after, several important officials appeared in Li Shiming's study.
Li Shi Min looked at the confused ministers and said in a deep voice,"I called you here today because I have a very important announcement to make.”
"Let's temporarily put aside the matter of sending troops to the Turks and wait for the situation to stabilize. We can't fight this war for the time being!”
"What?"
Fang Xuanling and the others stood up in shock, their faces full of confusion.
They had just discussed it ten days ago. At that time, wasn't His Majesty's attitude very firm? Why did he suddenly change his mind?
Minister of War Du Ruhui said anxiously,"Your Majesty, Little Khagan Tuli has sent an envoy to our Great Tang. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
"Once the Tuli Tribe is destroyed, we will lose our allies in the grasslands. I think we should send troops as soon as possible to solve the problem of our ship!”
Li Shiming shook his head with a serious face.
"The Turkic territory has been snowing for nearly a month now. You just haven't received any news. Once the war starts, our army will not be able to last!”
"When the time comes, our Great Tang will be defeated by the Turkic army that is familiar with the environment!”
The royal study instantly fell silent. Everyone stared at Li Shi Min in shock.
We didn't receive any news of the heavy snow in the Turkic territory. Where did His Majesty get the news?
Moreover, this news was too shocking, causing the officials to doubt the authenticity of this news.
Could His Majesty have been deceived by someone?
Otherwise, how could they not have received any news about such a major event that concerned the country?
