The immortal of the Tang Dynasty, but the game starts at Xuanwu Gate?

As soon as he finished speaking, the sounds of music and laughter in the hall seemed to be abruptly cut off, and for a moment there was complete silence.

The dancers instinctively stopped dancing, the musicians forgot to continue playing, and all the civil and military officials in Xiande Hall stood there stunned.

Cheng Yaojin nearly dropped his wine cup, his eyes wide as he blurted out in a rough voice, "Duke Anguo...you...you've truly encountered a deity?"

Qin Qiong frowned slightly and exchanged a glance with Yuchi Gong beside him. They both saw surprise and uncertainty in each other's eyes.

They hadn't had much contact with Chen Huai'an, but they all knew he was a pragmatic person who never talked about metaphysical things. Today, after drinking some wine, he actually composed such a poem.

Is it real, or just a poem?

Fang Xuanling's hand, holding the wine glass, paused in mid-air, and he glanced sideways at Du Ruhui. Du Ruhui shook his head slightly, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at Li Shimin on the throne.

Li Shimin, who was originally drunk, seemed to have sobered up quite a bit. He leaned forward slightly and fixed his gaze on Chen Huai'an.

He had met many fortune tellers, many of whom were indeed skilled, such as Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, who were among the best.

I've heard many stories about extraordinary people from other worlds, but the idea of ​​immortals imparting skills to others, coming from Chen Huai'an's mouth, is really too shocking.

The hall fell silent for a moment, but Chen Huai'an seemed oblivious, and chuckled to himself, his laughter tinged with self-deprecation: "I was inspired to write a poem after drinking, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Poetry?" Li Shimin came back to his senses, slowly leaned back in his chair, and carefully pondered the first two lines, "The Jade Capital in the heavens, the twelve towers and five cities... The poem is indeed an excellent poem, carrying a kind of ethereal and otherworldly air."

He gave Chen Huai'an a deep look, but didn't press the matter further. Instead, he burst into laughter: "You, after drinking, have become so unrestrained. Hey you, write down this poem; it'll be quite an amusing incident at today's banquet."

The emperor spoke, and the tense atmosphere in the hall immediately eased, with everyone trying to smooth things over.

Qin Qiong raised his wine cup and changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, in the ninth year of Wude, when I was in Wugong, I originally had the opportunity to kill Jieli, but due to the situation, I didn't dare to make a move."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, and even Chen Huai'an was speechless for a moment.

If it were anyone else, people would definitely think he was bragging.

After all, you only have 5,000 infantrymen. Even if you have all the advantages of timing, location, and manpower, and your weapons are far superior to those of the enemy, do you really think you can kill the enemy commander among an army of more than 100,000?

He even boasted that he had the chance to kill you, but you held back!

Who do you think you are?

Oh......

Oh, it's Master Qin! Then it's alright!

Chen Huai'an's gaze fell on Qin Qiong, his eyes filled with amazement. This man, like Li Shimin, was an extraordinary figure that even novels couldn't describe.

With maces, they pierced three prefectures and six counties; with horses, they trampled both banks of the Yellow River!

Widely recognized as the strongest Pokémon in history.

A peerless figure who experienced more than two hundred battles in his lifetime and received numerous military merits.

Yuchi Gong said with some regret, "Jieli could not be killed at that time. If he had been killed, who knows what would have happened to the Turkic army without him as their backbone? His subordinate Zhishi Sili was no pushover either."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. After we deal with Feng Ang and Liang Shidu, we can slowly deal with Jieli."

Chen Huai'an joked, "If we can capture Jieli alive, we can bring him to Chang'an and have him dance for the people of our Great Tang to entertain everyone."

Upon hearing this, everyone paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, not bad! We'll capture that Jieli alive and have him dance for everyone to enjoy!" Li Shimin was in high spirits.

Du Ruhui smiled and brought up a matter: "Speaking of which, who should we send as an envoy to Lingnan to gauge Feng Ang's attitude?"

"Feng Ang's position is special. If his status is not high enough, it might not show that he is being valued. But if his status is too high, there is a risk in going there."

"The selection of a candidate... is a very important issue."

"No, no, no," Chen Huai'an interjected, "The choice of personnel is not important at all; what's important is sending someone over!"

"So... anyone with a decent background is fine."

"Instead of thinking about Feng Ang, we should think about how to deal with Liang Shidu. Right now, the Turks are in turmoil and no one can take care of him. If the Tang Dynasty can quell Liang Shidu with lightning speed and truly achieve unification, it will also make the Turks wary and remove a thorn from the Tang Dynasty's side."

Chen Huai'an said slowly, "If Your Majesty decides to send troops against Liang Shidu, I wholeheartedly support it!"

Li Shimin raised an eyebrow and said, "Previously, they said they wanted to send troops to the Turks, and you said that preparation is the key to success, and lack of preparation leads to failure, so you refused. And facts have proven you were right, as a frost disaster has indeed occurred."

"I want to send troops to Feng Ang, but you say that it is difficult to determine whether Feng Ang is plotting a rebellion based solely on the memorials of officials in Lingnan. In effect, you are still refusing."

"Why did you wholeheartedly agree to the punishment of Liang Shidu?"

"How can that be the same?" Chen Huai'an laughed. "Your Majesty, Liang Shidu is now a true defeated dog. Once we send troops, we might be able to easily pacify Liang Shidu."

"Hasn't Your Majesty already witnessed the fate of Luo Yi and others? Liang Shidu now is just like Luo Yi, wanting to rebel and rely on the Turks to oppose our Great Tang, but are his subordinates willing to do so?"

"Furthermore, taking the initiative to send troops to recover lost territory and achieve unification is a different concept from taking the initiative to send troops to fight against foreign enemies."

Fang Xuanling understood Chen Huai'an's meaning and pondered, "If that's the case... it's indeed feasible to send troops to Liang Shidu now."

Du Ruhui nodded in agreement: "That's what I think too."

"Your Majesty, why not first muster the troops and check the provisions, and send an envoy to Lingnan? If Feng Ang really rebels, we can eliminate Liang Shidu, this potential threat, and then deal with him gradually."

"If Feng Ang did not rebel, that would be perfect, then we can deal with Liang Shidu without any worries."

"In short, attack Liang Shidu first!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing and other generals nodded in agreement: "That's right. In the ninth year of Wude, the Turks, with the help of Liang Shidu, invaded the Tang Dynasty. Such a thing must never happen again."

"If Feng Ang rebels, Lingnan will be quite troublesome to deal with due to its terrain. It would be better to deal with Liang Shidu, this potential threat, first."

"Your Majesty, I share the same opinion as Lords Fang and Du: we should attack Liang Shidu first!"

"Hahaha." Yuchi Gong was itching to act. "I've long disliked that old codger Liang Shidu. Your Majesty, give the order! The opportunity for unification is right before our eyes!"

When Li Shimin heard Chen Huai'an and others say this, he was immediately tempted.

After much deliberation, his eyes hardened: "Alright, send troops to Liang Shidu and complete the unification!"

"......"
