In just a few days, Li Shimin heard the most news about Xiao Fan.
Li Shimin had never expected that Xiao Fan, who had been unknown and even somewhat prodigal, would suddenly change his character.
The Emperor of the Great Tang would not be attracted by the mere change in nature.
The handsome and confident Xiao Fan in front of him made Li Shimin too curious.
That was why he had come personally today.
However, he never expected that he would be angered to this extent by this brat!
Fang Xuanling knew that Li Shiming was angry, but most likely because of the pot of liquid.
However, Fang Xuanling still had a question that he had been keeping in his heart. He couldn't wait for Princess Changle to come and ask for advice.
"Xiao Fan, I heard from the Cheng family's young duke that you have a unique view on Xue Yantuo's use of troops?”
Well, this was the second important purpose of the two of them coming from afar.
This concerned the fate of the country.
Xiao Fan said perfunctorily,"This kind of state affairs should be the concern of the court's prime minister and His Majesty. I don't have any opinion on it."”
Err…
Fang Xuanling's face turned red.
"This brat is very unhappy. With such a policy that benefits the country and the people, why hide it?”
Xiao Fan was straightforward and said,"I don't want to be said to be deceiving the public with lies and plotting rebellion. I can't bear such a big pot!"”
Fang Xuanling finally understood. He smiled and said,""Don't worry, since you've said it and I've heard it, no one else will know, and no one will say that you're trying to deceive the masses.”
Seeing that this old man's attitude was not bad, Xiao Fan did not hide anything. After all, as a son of the Great Tang, he also wanted the Great Tang army to kill fewer people.
"I know that His Majesty has always wanted to use troops against Xue Yantuo…"
Xiao Fan casually found a direction and bowed.
Fang Xuanling's face twitched as he said,""Over there!"
"What over there?"
"Taiji Palace is over there!" Fang Xuanling pointed in a direction.
Xiao Fan quickly adjusted his posture and bowed again.
Li Shi Min's face had already turned black.
Xiao Fan continued,"Actually, since ancient times, the best strategy is to subdue the enemy's troops without fighting.”
Seeing Xiao Fan speak seriously, Li Shimin nodded slightly.
"I know that Xue Yantuo has two sons and a nephew, right?”
Fang Xuanling nodded." That's right. One of his sons was a wild and violent man. The second is Ba Zhuo, and his nephew Duomachi."
Xiao Fan nodded. He thought to himself that this fellow had some understanding of Xue Yantuo's internal affairs, but he did not think too much about it.
"Is Xue Yantuo still a vassal state of the Great Tang?"”
"Although that's what it looks like on the surface, the Great Tang has already lost control over it," Fang Xuanling said with embarrassment.”
Xiao Fan said,"It doesn't matter. As long as this relationship exists, it's fine."”
"There is a saying in the art of war: Compared with being self-contained, you don't lose yourself."
Li Shi Min was slightly surprised when he heard this. He said,""Thirty-six Stratagems, Counter-spy Stratagem?"
Xiao Fan nodded and said,"Yes." Then, the Great Tang could simply carve out a piece of land and confer it on Zhenzhu Khagan's two sons, and another piece of land on his nephew. What would happen to Xue Yantuo?”
The room suddenly fell silent.
Fang Xuanling and Li Shiming looked at each other and seemed to notice that each other was trembling.
Hu ~
After a long while, Fang Xuanling let out a long breath and said,""Xue Yantuo will have internal strife!"
Xiao Fan said,"Yes! Xue Yantuo would be in chaos and still have the time to attack the Tang frontier fortress? He still had the time to form friendships with the Tubo Turks?”
Without waiting for the two of them to speak, Xiao Fan continued,"In this case, what can the Great Tang do? Train the soldiers! They sent spies to infiltrate Xue Yantuo, bribe high officials, and map the geographical location. With this and that, what threat would Xue Yantuo pose?”
The two of them were now like lightning striking their bodies. It was as if they were frozen in place, motionless.
Xiao Fan's words gave them too much inspiration!
Li Shiming could use this general direction to formulate a series of policies to disrupt Xue Yantuo!
Fang Xuanling was also very excited!
The Great Tang's treasury was empty, and it was not a good time to waste money and manpower. The Great Tang still needed a year to develop its economy.
He had always been thinking about subduing others without fighting, and someone had actually thought of it!
I'm ashamed! The Prime Minister was deeply ashamed!
Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Shiming, who nodded slightly.
The two of them didn't say much and left in a hurry.
After leaving the Xiao residence, Li Shimin was relieved and his impression of Xiao Fan was swept away.
"Minister Fang, how is this child?"
Fang Xuanling seemed to have yet to recover from his excitement and shock.
He had been deducing in his heart how to refine Xiao Fan's plan.
The more he thought about it, the more excited his eyes became.
"High! Brilliant! Such a simple plan, yet none of us officials have thought of it!”
"Your Majesty, this child…is a great talent!"
Li Shi Min nodded slightly and did not say anything. The two of them sped toward Chang 'an.
In the Xiao residence, Han Lingying looked at the two of them leaving and asked Xiao Fan,"Husband, who are these two?"
Xiao Fan patted his head. We don't care about him. He's here to send money anyway. Let's continue stockpiling food!”
