Deputy Chief Duan went home and immediately sought out his father to recount the day's events in detail.
Governor Duan couldn't help stroking his beard and questioned, "Could it be that His Majesty intends to dispatch troops against Tubo?"
Deputy Chief Duan expressed his uncertainty.
"Perhaps it's indeed possible," Governor Duan murmured softly, tugging at his beard, "His Majesty is still in the prime of his strength..."
Over the years, Great Jin had been involved in wars intermittently. Even excluding the conflicts before the emperor ascended the throne, only the Central Plains had settled down after his accession. In all directions, especially the north, warfare had never ceased.
The first five years saw the Turks provoking them. Later, His Majesty supported Xue Yantuo and other tribes to rebel against Khan Xiangli, which took several years before it was Great Jin's turn to dispatch troops, ultimately leading to the defeat of the Turkish, with only remnants fleeing to Kangju.
