"Pfft!"
Cheng Yaojin, who was drinking, could not help but spit out his drink.
His eyes widened in shock as he asked, "What did you say? Tubo, Tuyuhun, and Tujue are experiencing a drought? "
Li Shimin was also shocked.
"Impossible, how … how is this possible?"
However, the next moment, Li Shimin suddenly remembered a memorial from half a month ago.
According to the memorial, the Tang Dynasty's spies in Tubo and Tuyuhun suddenly lost contact with the Tang Dynasty at the same time. In the end, the spies sent by the Tang Dynasty were all blocked outside Tubo and Tuyuhun's gates …
Zhang Feng spoke freely, not noticing the shock on Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin's faces.
"You've underestimated this drought. Let me ask you, haven't you noticed that the number of merchants in Tubo and Tuyuhun has decreased by a lot? What does this mean? "
Instantly.
Li Shimin felt a deep sense of helplessness.
If there was really a locust plague in Longyou, the Tang Dynasty might be able to deal with it. However, what about Tubo and Tuyuhun?
Then, the Tang Dynasty, which had just stabilized, would be in a precarious situation again!
Li Shimin suddenly had a bad feeling!
He hurriedly asked, "I remember something. Half a month ago, when our caravan went to Tubo, we were stopped and returned empty-handed. As for the reason, we don't know, could it be …"
Zhang Feng snapped his fingers.
"That's right, but you're also wrong. At this time, Tubo and Tuyuhun can't even take care of themselves! The same goes for the Tujue! "
Li Shimin was completely flustered.
"I've also heard that a large number of Tujue cavalry appeared at the northern border. Could it be that there's also a drought in Tujue territory? Or did something happen and they're blocking the news? "
Zhang Feng looked at the pale-faced Li Shimin, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"Tubo and Tubo are neighbors to Longyou Dao. Their soil and water are similar. Longyou Dao is suffering from drought. Do you think Tubo and Tuyuhun will be able to escape?"
"Boom!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Tubo and Tuyuhun are also suffering from drought?
If what Zhang Feng said was true, then when the locust plague spread, the consequences would be a once-in-a-century natural disaster!
In the face of such a disaster, if the Tujue and Tubo had other ideas, the Tang Dynasty would not be able to stop them even if they wanted to!
This …
At this moment, he finally understood.
Why was it that none of the spies he had sent out had returned? Even those who had entered the Turkic Khaganate had disappeared without a trace!
It turned out that the Turks were also sealing off the news!
Li Shimin slapped his forehead.
"No wonder! No wonder my caravan was blocked outside the gates. They're sealing off the news! "
At this moment, Li Shimin could no longer sit still.
However, he still forced himself to hold it in. He cupped his fist and asked with a serious expression, "Manager, are you sure about this?"
Zhang Feng, on the other hand, seemed to be scaring him to death.
"Since ancient times, drought and flood have been closely related. When there's a drought, there's a flood. There's no abnormality in the south, and the prices of the crops in the south have not increased. What does this mean?"
"This means that there's no disaster in the south! How many months is it now? It's April now? Then the north is still cold, and the drought is impossible. However, you also said that there's a sudden increase of troops at the border. What does this mean? What does this mean? "
Li Shimin was dumbfounded.
He was completely dumbfounded.
Drought and flood.
It was indeed as Zhang Feng said.
Now there was a drought.
What about the flood?
Where was it?
"Shopkeeper, isn't what you're saying a little too frightening … You … You know where the flood and waterlogging disaster will happen?"
"Lao Li knows me best!"
Zhang Feng said mysteriously, "You're right, but this time it's not a flood, it's a snow disaster! The Turks have encountered the most severe snow disaster in history! "
"What!?"
"F * ck! Oh … Oh my God! The heavens have finally opened their eyes! "
Cheng Yaojin almost shouted out 'Your Majesty', but in the end, he forced himself to stop.
"Manager, are you sure that there's a snow disaster in the Turks? Isn't this … "
"Don't be too happy. Just treat this as a gimmick. It's enough that the three of us know about it. If this gets out, even if I don't die, I'll lose a layer of skin! The worst thing that can happen is that the Turks and Tubo Tuyuhuns will invade the south! "
Invade the south!?
"Buzz —!"
At this time, Li Shimin had already fallen into shock.
But the next moment, Li Shimin asked anxiously, "Isn't what you're saying a little too much? According to what you said, why would they block the news?"
Zhang Feng shook his head speechlessly. "If you were Li Shimin, if you knew that the Turks were suffering, what would you do?"
Li Shimin was stunned.
"Of course, I would send troops, take advantage of their weakness, and …"
"That's right!"
Zhang Feng snapped his fingers.
"If you can think of it, how can Tuli Khan and Li Shimin not think of it? Now, you should understand why there are so many Turks at the border, and why Tubo and Tuyuhuns are acting so strangely, right? They're guarding against the Tang Dynasty! "
Cheng Yaojin could not help but scratch his head. "Manager, you don't leave the house, and Chang 'an is more than a thousand miles away from the north. How did you know all this?"
Zhang Feng smiled mysteriously. "I calculated it!"
"Bang!"
Li Shimin, who had been waiting for an answer, was stunned when he heard the answer.
The wine bowl in his hand fell to the floor again.
"…"
