As Li Er said that, he clenched his fist and punched him on the table, which scared Zhang Nan.

"So I'm thinking about how to defeat the Turks all the time. I want them to remember the power of my Tang Dynasty." Li Er's eyes were firm.

Just when Zhang Nan didn't know whether to comfort Li Er or support Li Er, the system's voice rang.

"Ding, the host triggers the side mission and persuades Li Shimin to stop attacking the Turks. After completing the side mission, you can get a mysterious reward. Will the host accept this mission?"

Although Zhang Nan didn't know why he persuaded Li Shimin to stop attacking the Turks, since the mission had been triggered and there was a mysterious reward, Zhang Nan decided to accept it.

“Confirm to accept the task.”

"Accepting success, the system reminds you that the reasons for persuasion can include heavy snowfall on the grassland in the third year of Zhenguan. As for how to explain it, it is up to the host to decide."

After the system has made its own warm reminder, it stopped making a sound.

"Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate to send troops at this time." Although Zhang Nan did not think about the reason to convince Li Er, he had to let Li Er know his attitude first.

Li Er was surprised when he heard that Zhang Nan had objections to his troops. However, when he thought that Zhang Nan had a unique view on the current situation, he asked calmly: "Then why it is inappropriate for you to tell me."

"I think that at this time, the spring is in full swing, and the Turks have recovered from the weakest time of winter. At this time, the Turkish cavalry is not as tired as in early spring, but full of energy. Therefore, we have absolutely no chance of winning at this time. I think that since we want to start a war, we must have a clear purpose. The war serves the country's strategic layout. If we only want to expel bad temper and defeat them, it is better not to fight."

Zhang Nan didn't care whether Li Er could understand what he meant by the strategic layout. Anyway, he saw this in a military magazine and it was plagiarism.

"Okay, that's right." Li Er finished applauding, and walked to his desk and wrote down the sentence on the paper.

Li Er wrote and said, "Qingquan, you continue to talk."

Seeing that Li Er understood what he meant, Zhang Nan had to continue thinking about what reason to continue fooling Li Er.

"Since we have missed the best opportunity to attack, we might as well rest. I dare to fight and promise that as long as we seize the heavy snowfall on the grassland this winter, the Turks will not see the spring next year." Zhang Nan really couldn't think of any good reason, so he began to use his best skills to pretend to be a charlatan.

"How do you know that heavy snow will suddenly fall on the grassland this winter? Even if you have the ability to observe the sky, this is spring. And we are in Chang'an, how can you observe the sky on the grassland?" Li Er obviously didn't believe Zhang Nan's promise.

"This... the secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Anyway, sending troops in winter is definitely much better than now. You may not be able to defeat the Turks now, but you must be able to do so in winter." Zhang Nan didn't know how to explain the heavy snow that had not happened. It can't be said that the system told him, and Li Er must not even know what the system is.

"I can't believe your guarantee. This is a military and national event. It's not a joke. According to me, Qingquan, please control the business for me first. I will discuss this matter with the pharmacist and Maogong and others about the military." Li Er stroked his beard, obviously not trusting Zhang Nan's military talent.

Seeing that Li Er didn't believe him, Zhang Nan became anxious.

"Your Majesty, I really didn't lie to you. Do you don't believe in my ability?"

Li Er didn't say anything, so he was accustomed to it.

"Then I'll make a bet with you. You give me a small team of Qianniu Guards, so don't have more than twenty people. Three months, no, two months, two months later, I will take this team of Qianniu Guards and your Qianniu Guards to a drill. I dare to fight to guarantee that the Qianniu Guards you will definitely not be as good as what I trained. Anyway, even if you send troops, the food and grass will be the first. It should take two months to transport the food and grass. If I win, there will be no need to send troops. How about it?" Zhang Nan was a little anxious when he saw that Li Er didn't believe him, so he came up with such a move, and then he stopped Li Er first.

"You didn't see Qingquan, you still know the reason why the troops and horses were moving before they moved their food and grass." Li Er looked at Zhang Nan with approval.

Zhang Nancai didn't care what Li Er thought of him, but just said, "How is it, your lord, whether you bet."

"It's okay to bet, but what if you lose, it's always a good start." Li Er looked like a profitable businessman.

Zhang Nan's eyes rolled, thinking about what conditions he would not suffer to make this bet with Li Er.

"In this way, your husband, don't you want me to become an official in the court? If I lose, I will become an official." After thinking about it, Zhang Nan had only one condition that he would not suffer any losses.

"Okay, this is what you said. This gentleman's words are as good as a horse." After Li Er said that, he stretched out his palm.

Seeing that Li Er agreed to his request, Zhang Nan quickly stretched out his hand and slapped Li Er as a sworn. As long as he could complete his task, Zhang Nan didn't care about so much.

"As for the candidates, I will ask them to report to your mansion in two days. I will wait and see how you defeated my Qianniu Guard with the Qianniu Guard who had been trained for two months." Although Li Er said this, he was not worried about losing at all. Zhang Nan could even guess that Li Er had already begun to make plans for how to fight the Turks.

"Okay, Master, this is what you said. We have already swear to high-fives." Zhang Nan reminded.

"I understand, okay, you go back first. I will discuss things with Maogong and the others later." Li Er seemed a little impatient with Zhang Nan, so he directly issued an order to expel the guest, not thinking about Zhang Nan's friendship with him at all.

Of course, Li Er had already ordered him to get out of here. Zhang Nan dared not stay too much. He could make Li Er agree to bet with him. Zhang Nan felt that he was already burning the incense, so he left Li Er's imperial study room and then left Li Er's palace smoothly.

When he walked to the palace gate, he was about to catch Cheng Huaimo changing shifts.

"Huaimo, why, I'm off work?" Zhang Nan went up enthusiastically to say hello to Cheng Huaimo.

"Brother Nan, what's the point of getting off work? I'm changing the duty, and my duty time has arrived." Cheng Huaimo could not understand Zhang Nan's meaning of getting off work.

"Hey, don't care about these details. I'm asking you, is it interesting to stand here every day?" Zhang Nan asked with a smile, looking malicious.

"Of course it's boring." Cheng Huaimo said the truth.

"Since it's boring, I'll give you a good messenger?" Zhang Nan continued to induce him carefully.

"This, Brother Nan, I am working for the emperor." Cheng Huaimo scratched his head.

"Of course I know you are working for the emperor. Let me tell you this. I have made a bet with the emperor. Then someone will go to Qianniuwei to select people. Remember to ask you to go too. I think it's not difficult based on your father's relationship. Don't ask too much. Anyway, it's a good thing. Look at what reliable brothers you have in Qianniuwei. I can let them come together. I only have twenty people." Zhang Nan didn't want to tell Cheng Huaimo in detail about his bet with Li Er, just let Cheng Huaimo remember to come.

"Well, okay, I believe in my brother." Cheng Huaimu agreed after thinking for a while. After hearing Cheng Huaimu say this, Zhang Nan's face had a look of a successful trick.
