Start the Tang Dynasty: The descendant of Wei Wu from the Qin Qiong family!

Chapter 27 Going south to plunder
"You picked yourself clean."

Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaiyu and smiled, but didn't say anything.

"I was a victim too."

Qin Huaiyu murmured in a low voice.

It was so unfair for him to be involved in this kind of turmoil for no reason.

"What do you think those Turks are doing?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Hey, it's just that I'm itchy and I want to be cleaned up." Cheng Yaojin said carelessly.

"Your Majesty, I invite you to fight to enhance the country's prestige!"

When Yuchi Gong heard that there was a battle to be fought, his eyes lit up and he stood up.

"Fighting requires money and food."

Changsun Wuji said leisurely: "But the money and food we can raise now are not enough for us to launch a war."

"Winter is about to enter. If this war cannot be resolved quickly, it will be a huge challenge for us."

Fang Xuanling looked cautious.

They do not agree to start a war, and the current foundation is simply not enough to support a large-scale struggle.

Li Shimin was also thinking deeply in his eyes.

This is hitting him in the face.

He was assassinated just after he ascended the throne. If he just let it go, those enemies who went underground would surely be laughing at his joke.

Where will my majesty be at that time?

But Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling also need to consider that their current strength is not enough to quickly carry out a large-scale battle.

But for Li Shimin, gritting his teeth is not because he cannot hold on, but mainly because he is afraid that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble!
Li Shimin, who looked troubled, suddenly saw Qin Huaiyu who was standing aside, wandering in the sky, and suddenly asked: "Qin Huaiyu, what do you think?"

"what?"

Qin Huaiyu didn't react.

"I ask you, what do you think of this matter?"

Qin Huaiyu paused for a moment and then said: "That... boy has little talent and little knowledge. If he says it wrong..."

"I won't punish crimes with words, so you can rest assured." Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he said grandly.

This kid is full of bad ideas, and he might have some crooked ideas.

Qin Huaiyu regarded Li Shimin's words as farts.

"System, can I still accept the mission?"

【……up to you. 】

"Then take it."

Qin Huaiyu was satisfied.

Then he looked at everyone present and said softly: "Everyone is thinking about how to deal with the Turks, but have you ever thought that the Turks also want to attack us?"

"What do you mean by this?" Du Ruhui seemed to have thought of something.

"Winter is coming."

Qin Huaiyu explained: "Even in the Central Plains, people often freeze to death in winter, not to mention that the further north you go, the colder the weather becomes."

"The Turks are not familiar with farming and rely entirely on grazing for a living. The coming of winter is a serious test of survival for them."

"So in order to survive..."

Du Ruhui stood up suddenly: "So in order to survive, they need to go south and plunder to stock up on supplies for the winter."

The faces of everyone suddenly darkened.

If this is true, it means that the Turks must have taken action!
"Not only that."

Qin Huaiyu added: "The Turks are a wolf-like people who believe in the law of the jungle. Those who die in one winter are definitely the old and the weak."

"This is a drag on their survival and development."

"But launching a war is a good opportunity. It can not only clear out this group of people who will have difficulty surviving the winter, but also allow them to use their last remaining heat."

"It can be said to be taking advantage of people to the extreme."

After listening to Qin Huaiyu's words, the faces of several people who were originally ugly became even more gloomy.

"It shouldn't be a big problem." Yu Chigong said: "It's not that easy for those Turkic wolves to break through our defense line."

Li Shimin's complexion improved a little.

"There is no news coming from the border yet. This is a good thing." Changsun Wuji consoled him.

But everyone present knew that Qin Huaiyu most likely guessed it right.

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't sit still.

He took everyone back to the East Palace directly, summoned his former Qin Prince's team, and began to discuss countermeasures.

Qin Huaiyu immediately relaxed.

[Congratulations to the host for getting the character card: Wenbu (unparalleled flying general)! 】

[Characters are being localized! 】

[Localization successful! 】

Qin Huaiyu nodded with satisfaction.

Although the war was obviously imminent, Qin Huaiyu was not worried about it.

Now that they were prepared in advance, even if they really couldn't defeat them, they could still retreat.

However, he estimated that Li Shimin would definitely not retreat.

Going to the kitchen to see if the chefs at home have come up with any new dishes is one of Qin Huaiyu's few pleasures.

He doesn't know many dishes himself. He can only cook some ordinary home-cooked dishes.

But the cook is professional in making this after all. Ever since he got Qin Huaiyu's advice, he has been trying to make other stir-fry dishes recently.

With the funds specially approved by Qin Huaiyu himself, he was able to work vigorously, and many people began to envy the chef.

Eat several meals a day.

Although some of them are not very tasty, they are still real food, and many people have gained weight from eating them.

Qin Huaiyu was thinking about meatballs to eat when he suddenly heard a heavy falling sound from outside.

It was like something heavy had been thrown to the ground.

Qin Huaiyu hurriedly ran out and saw Wei Zhuang leaning against the tree in the small yard with an indifferent expression.

A guy covered in blood was lying on the ground, looking at how little air was coming in and how much air was coming out.

"Who is this?"

Qin Huaiyu naturally knew that Wei Zhuang never did anything without reason, so he did not ask Wei Zhuang why he made people like this.

"This man knows how the Turks entered the palace." Wei Zhuang said coldly.

"Ok?"

"Big fish."

Qin Huaiyu clapped his hands.

"Help me, I...I know the inside story."

The man seemed to have come back to his senses. When he saw Qin Huaiyu's face pleading, he said, "I'll tell you everything, help me."

Qin Huaiyu shook his head.

Li Er knew everything he needed to know, so what use was his little inside information?

He was just about to say that he would throw this man into the mountains and bury him, but he heard Wei Zhuang say: "The emperor needs a reason."

Qin Huaiyu understood immediately.

Although everyone knows what is going on, being able to produce evidence is always more justifiable than directly killing people, and can stop the people who are interested in talking.

"I see."

Qin Huaiyu nodded.

He asked the doctor at home to bandage the guy. After making sure that the guy wouldn't die, Qin Yong asked someone to carry the guy away on a stretcher.

As for the existence of Wei Zhuang...

Which family doesn't have a few powerful hangers-on? Everyone understands this, and Li Shimin won't ask any questions.

After all, he has always been tolerant to his ministers, even turning a blind eye to some of them holding private soldiers. Qin Huaiyu is a better boy than them.
