Combining Vertically and Crossly
Li Shi Min only felt his mouth go dry, but he calmed down after a few drinks.
"Did you analyze all this yourself?”
Lin Fan replied without a care," What else? I don't know any high-ranking officials. Even if I do, you can't tell me. This is the crime of beheading!"”
"I'm telling you, Old Li, don't sell me out."
Li Shi Min quickly raised his hand to interrupt.
"Don't worry about that."
At the start, Lin Fan only gave Li Shi Min a sense of awe.
Now, all that was left was admiration.
He knew the direction of the world's major events by staying in this small tavern without leaving the house.
Just by deducing the trivial matters, he knew all the movements inside and outside the court.
Even his every move was calculated by him!
"Old friend, old friend, what kind of monster did you give birth to?"”
Lin Fan waved his hand in front of the dazed Li Shi Min.
"Do you want to do it or not?”
Li Shi Min came back to his senses and paused for a moment before saying,"To tell you the truth, I'm actually in the fabric business. It might be a little difficult for me to take out a large sum of money at once.”
Lin Fan was a little disappointed and sat back down.
However, he could understand that such a big business person basically did not have much available funds.
The money was all on the goods.
There was nothing to do if there was too little. It was not even enough for the rats to kowtow.
Lin Fan didn't want to think about getting rich anymore.
At this moment,
Li Shi Min raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice,"Brother Lin, who do you think will win this battle?”
? Lin Fan was amused when he heard that. He teased," Hey, Old Li, is this something we should be concerned about?”
"Previously, we were talking about business. If we continue to talk about this, it would be nonsense.”
Li Shi Min touched his nose and reacted.
He had indeed been rude.
But he immediately responded,"I'm just worried about my business."”
Lin Fan nodded thoughtfully.
The cloth business was indeed like this. Once the war started, it would have a huge impact on him.
"The Turks will definitely lose!"
Li Shi Min's face lit up, but he didn't have time to say anything.
"However, it will definitely be a miserable victory. Not many people will come back alive.”
If it was someone else who said this, Li Shiming would definitely punish him.
Before the battle started, the morale of the army was shaken.
It was not an exaggeration to kill a few rounds.
? But these words came from Lin Fan's mouth.
The taste instantly changed.
"Why? The soldiers of our Great Tang are valiant and skilled in battle, so why should we be afraid of the Turks?”Li Shi Min asked unhappily.
"The Great Tang and the Turks are mortal enemies. A great war will break out sooner or later. It's only a matter of time.”
? Lin Fan sat by the window and said," This year, the Turkic internal strife has never stopped. The Jie Li Khagan and the Tuli Khagan are already at loggerheads.”
"Do you think that with His Majesty's temper, he would let go of such a good opportunity?”
Li Shi Min nodded in agreement.
He naturally didn't want to miss out on this heaven-sent opportunity. If possible, he wanted to personally lead the army and crusade against the Turks!
"There's no problem with His Majesty's decision. The internal strife of the Turks is a rare opportunity!”Lin Fan sighed and continued,"The timing was wrong. I was too impatient."
After listening,
Li Shi Min felt a little angry.
He had fought countless battles, big and small. He had never lost to anyone in terms of analyzing the situation and controlling the overall situation.
It was because of this that the army he led was invincible!
On the battlefield, the greatest taboo was indecisiveness and being unable to make a decision.
This was a great taboo for military strategists!
Although he was dissatisfied, Li Shimin still listened patiently.
"Then what do you think? Don't tell me that nothing happened?”He said unhappily.
Lin Fan put down his chopsticks and clapped his hands.
"That's right, you have to pretend that nothing happened. The more you pretend, the better!”
Li Shi Min fell silent.
Lin Fan had never been on the battlefield before, nor had he led an army. He didn't even know how to ride a horse.
He actually dared to comment on this war.
What gave him the confidence?
Just as he was deep in thought, Lin Fan's voice rang out once more.
"With just one plan, the Turks will perish!"
Li Shi Min raised his head and saw Lin Fan talking confidently.
"Tell me." Li Er said suspiciously.
He did not believe it anyway. If there was really such a scheme, he would not have to worry about it long ago.
However, he also hoped that there was really such a good plan that could turn the rotten into magical!
Lin Fan shook the wine pot. There was not a single drop left.
"Go, get the wine!" He directly asked Li Shi Min.
Fortunately, Zhangsun Wuji did not come today. Otherwise, he would have been so scared that he would have sat on the ground again.
Lin Fan was the only person who dared to ask Li Shi Min to get him a drink.
Li Shi Min let out a long breath but didn't say anything.
He took out the wine.
He filled it up.
Lin Fan took it and gave it a peck.
Only then did he slowly speak.
"A plan to unite vertically and horizontally!"
"We'll take this opportunity to rope in Xue Yantuo and let them fight each other to their heart's content.”
！！！
Li Shi Min's body shook when he heard that.
"That Xue Yantuo is relying on the Turks to survive. How can you be so sure that he will betray us?"”
Lin Fan put a piece of meat into his mouth and said vaguely,""That Xue Yantuo has long had the intention of rebelling. He's a typical traitor. It's definitely right to rope him in. If you help him rise to power, he won't be able to become a big deal.”
Li Shi Min downed the wine in his cup, unable to conceal his excitement.
"You're not lying?"
"Absolutely!"
Li Shimin stood up abruptly.
Thump!
He placed the money bag on the table.
"Brother Lin, I have something to do at home.”
Lin Fan shouted at his back,"Old Li, I haven't gotten your change yet!"”
"It's all yours." Li Shimin said without turning his head.
Lin Fan was speechless.
Why was this person so mysterious?
What kind of urgent matter was it that he had to leave in such a hurry?
Lin Fan kept the heavy money pouch in his pocket and drank some wine.
Today was another day of harvest.
......
Outside the door,
As soon as Li Shi Min left the room, a dark-skinned man came up to him.
The surrounding crowd and hawkers also began to move.
"Yaojin, why are you here?" Li Shi Min said to himself, his footsteps never stopping.
The person who came was Duke Lu, Cheng Yaojin, the dark-faced man who had been leaning against the window earlier.
"Your Majesty, I haven't asked you yet. Why did you come to such a place to drink?”Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and quickly followed,""Lord Zhangsun was worried and specially sent me over.”
Li Shi Min nodded.
"You came just in time. Zhen ordered you to investigate something!”
