After all, this is a basic issue involving people's livelihood.
Never waver.
"Good things are good, of course, but there are also bad things."
Cheng Yaojin's face darkened and he continued:
"Last winter, the 18 regions of the grassland suffered a rare snowstorm.
Countless cattle and sheep have frozen to death, and now the Turks have also learned about the salt lake.
According to Tang reports, the Turkic tribes are still gathering their troops."
Zhuang Zhou said "oh" and pretended not to understand and asked:
"Is that going to war?"
Cheng Yaojin nodded:

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with admiration and he said:
"Master Zhuang is absolutely right, I have the same concerns.
So, in your opinion, how should we deal with this?"
