Some people could not only enjoy honor because of their status, but they could also bring great benefits to themselves.
And because of their status, other than being hypocritically respected, others did not live as they wished.
Observing Li Ke carefully, Du Ruhui felt that Li Ke, without the identity of a prince, might be able to live a more carefree life.
Even if he cut off his father-son relationship with the Emperor on the surface, who would dare to openly go against Li Ke?
Even if the Emperor's bloodline was severed, no ordinary person would dare to kill him.
Since that was the case, it did not matter whether Li Ke recovered his identity or not.
As long as they had money, their lives would be more comfortable than anyone else's.
"Boss Li is right, I was too rude.”
Du Ruhui smiled.
He once again called Li Ke Boss Li, not His Highness.
"Everyone has their own aspirations."
Li Ke shook his head and chuckled.
He didn't expect Du Ruhui to think so much in the blink of an eye.
If he knew, he would definitely be shocked.
He wanted to sever the relationship between father and son.
He didn't think as much as Du Ruhui.
"That's true."
"Right, Boss Li, what do you think of the current war with the Eastern Turks?”
Du Ruhui nodded. He felt that Li Ke was not bad and had his own unique ideas.
Since he was already here, he thought that it would be better to sit for a while and talk about things. After all, it was so cool here.
Du Ruhui didn't have much to talk about, so he naturally asked Li Ke about his views on the Eastern Turkic War.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Du Ruhui felt a little regretful. He looked at Li Ke worriedly, worried that Li Ke would think that he was deliberately making things difficult for him.
Not long after, he had asked Li Chengqian the same question, wanting to hear the Crown Prince's views on the war.
Unfortunately, Du Ruhui did not get a satisfactory answer.
"The Great Tang will definitely win."
Li Ke answered without thinking.
"Um."
"How do you know?"
Du Ruhui was stunned, disappointment flashing across his eyes.
Just like Crown Prince Li Chengqian, he had almost immediately answered that the Great Tang would win.
Then came the words of Li Jing, the general manager of the army, saying that the soldiers of the Great Tang were mighty.
Compared to Li Chengqian's excitement, Li Ke was much calmer.
"The heavens are on the Great Tang's side."
Li Ke thought for a moment and chuckled.
He took a sip of tea, his expression calm.
"Ah?"
"What do you mean?"
This time, Du Ruhui was truly stunned.
In battle, it depended more on the strategy of the general and the bravery of the soldiers.
Although Li Chengqian's answer not long ago did not satisfy him, Li Chengqian's answer was not wrong.
But when Li Ke said that the heavens were helping the Great Tang, was it really the heavens?
If the heavens were truly helping the Great Tang, why would there be droughts, floods, and locust plagues every year?
If the heavens had truly blessed the Great Tang, many places in the Great Tang would not have been reduced to places where people could not eat.
"What does Minister Du think of the weather now?”
Li Ke said indifferently.
"Yes, it's very hot."
Du Ruhui rolled his eyes at Li Ke as his mouth twitched.
The weather was really hot now. The weather in September was unbearable. Everyone sweated when they went out.
However, Li Ke had ice cubes everywhere, and most of them had already melted. The surrounding temperature was very cool, and there was no feeling of heat.
There was also this reason why Du Ruhui did not want to leave so early.
But now that Li Ke asked this question, Du Ruhui thought that Li Ke was pretending.
"Yes, the Great Tang is very hot right now.”
"But the Eastern Turks in the far north have begun to cool down.”
"In at most a month, the weather in the Eastern Turks will change drastically, and it will begin to snow.”
Li Ke said calmly.
As an outstanding young man of the 21st century, he had some knowledge of geography and astronomy.
"This old master understands that it's snowing.”
"But the snow has a great impact on the soldiers of our Great Tang. Why do you think that the heavens are helping the Great Tang and that the Great Tang will win?”
Du Ruhui frowned, not understanding Li Ke's true meaning.
The battle report from the front line had been sent back a few days ago. The weather there had indeed begun to cool down.
Compared to the scorching weather in Chang 'an, the Eastern Turks were starting to cool down.
If it snowed, the Great Tang should be affected even more.
"I don't know why your higher-ups sent troops, but there are only the following reasons.”
"First, the Great Tang has spent three years preparing its army and has the strength to wage war against the Eastern Turks.”
"Second, if the conflict between the Eastern and Western Turks erupts, the Western Turks won't come to the Eastern Turks 'aid even if a war breaks out.”
"Third, a plague has appeared in the Eastern Turks. Their cattle and sheep have died in large numbers, and their people and soldiers are lacking in strength.”
Li Ke thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
All of the above was what he had deduced from history.
"That's right, that's it."
Du Ruhui nodded repeatedly, his expression somewhat shocked.
He looked at Li Ke in surprise, feeling incredulous.
After more than a month of discussion, the upper echelons of the Great Tang had come to these conclusions and finally decided to go north for revenge.
The discussion above was confidential, and very few people knew about it.
Among them, Crown Prince Li Chengqian did not know, so how did Li Ke know?
Did someone tell Li Ke?
It was impossible!
Perhaps someone would tell Crown Prince Li Chengqian, but no one would tell Li Ke.
Before Li Ke left the palace, he was like a transparent prince. Who would be so bored to tell Li Ke such an important thing?
So Li Ke guessed it himself?
"Isn't that obvious?"
"In another month, it will begin to snow in the Eastern Turks. The Eastern Turkic cattle and sheep will die even faster, and our rations will be even less able to keep up.”
"As long as we give them some time, the Eastern Turks will not be a match for Li Jing's army.”
Li Ke laughed.
War must be fought at the right time, in the right place, and with the right people.
The weather that allowed victory in this battle was the snow. The terrain was not much, and the people were personally led by Li Jing, the God of War.
"Does this mean that our Great Tang will definitely win?"
Du Ruhui said in a trembling voice.
Their higher-ups were also analyzing the situation.
The chances of winning were very high, but no one dared to pat their chests and guarantee it.
"Victory!"
Li Ke, who was familiar with history, nodded confidently.
"Then what are the sudden changes?”
Du Ruhui was so excited that his body trembled.
With Li Ke's analysis and the analysis of his higher-ups, Du Ruhui felt that the Great Tang would win this war.
"Hmm, maybe the food supply is a sudden change.”
Li Ke thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
There were many records of Li Jing's army's victories in history, but there were not many records of their setbacks.
But with Li Ke's understanding of the Great Tang, provisions might be a factor in this war.
"It's indeed possible for the provisions to be there."
Du Ruhui frowned.
After thinking about it, he felt that what Li Ke said made sense.
The Great Tang's three years of hiding had made its soldiers much stronger.
However, they did not accumulate much food because of the disasters every year.
In addition, a large portion of the Great Tang's food was monopolized by the Five Families and Seven Wangs.
The Great Tang did not have much food to support the army going north this time, perhaps even a little less.
If there really was a problem, it was very likely that there was a problem with the provisions.
