Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 494: On the Eve of the War

Although Ashnadur and Yalkin did not cause any real damage to Datang, is there any small matter between countries?

Even among ordinary people, if you punch me maliciously for no reason, no matter whether you hit me or not, I won't let you go easily, right? What's more, this kind of thing happened between Turkic and Datang, two countries with grievances. It is almost obvious where things will go.

Li Xinxin knew everything about his ass, if nothing unexpected happened, this time it was really going to be a fight.

As a typical nomadic civilization, Turks went south to plunder when there was no pasture in autumn and winter and it was difficult for cattle and sheep to survive the winter. In the past years, there were often harassments by small groups, and a few years ago, Chang'an was almost brought down. It was only because of Li Shimin's own actions, using empty-handed tactics and promising many conditions, that he stopped the Turkic army on the banks of the Weishui River.

Li Shimin was originally a proud person and always regarded this matter as a shame. Years ago, he had been preparing to avenge his shame. He couldn't bear to pay for repairs even when the palace was damaged, so he just saved a sum of money to use for the war.

This time it was good, Ashnadur hit the muzzle of the gun. Do you think Li Shimin will bestow his kindness on these northern barbarians? Will he not pull the trigger?

It must be impossible.

War is imminent. Moreover, it was the Turkic side who took the initiative to hand over the opportunity to fight to Datang. After all, the mainstream thinking of the Tang Dynasty is still Confucianism, which emphasizes the inner sage and the outer king, and practices the "kingly way".

What is kingly way? To put it simply, if you did something wrong, I will beat you up and educate you. After the education, you'd better be grateful. The opposite is "overbearing", which means, I just want to beat you up, so don't ask me why, because there is no reason at all, it's just that the antiques in your house are too bright, and I kind of want that.

The biggest difference between the two lies in the reason for the war. The latter implies the meaning of the strong preying on the weak, while the former emphasizes "the teacher is famous" on the basis of a certain order. Obviously, Ashnadur's invasion of Hexi this time was a mistake for Datang? Li Shimin took advantage of this to send troops to educate the Turks, and wash away his shame by the way, isn't it right in his arms?

Li Xin didn't expect that he would run into this monster named "War" just a few days after he was reborn—well, it wasn't unexpected at all. He has always vaguely remembered that in the original history, Li Shimin swept the East and Turks within two years after he succeeded to the throne, captured Jieli Khan, and laid the foundation for the future prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

However, what he was in at the moment was not exactly the Tang Dynasty in the past, so he still couldn't figure out whether this war would definitely break out, and if so, when would it break out.

Now it seems that it is coming soon.

"There is going to be a war." Li Xin muttered to himself.

In his impression, Li Shimin won a complete victory this time. But war is war after all. As long as there is war, there will be deaths. And dead people are really not a good thing.

Li Xin is not the Holy Mother, in a sense, he is even a bit narrow-minded. He didn't care about the lives of Turkic people. He mainly felt sorry for the lives of these Tang men.
