"I heard that the emperor asked the Tibetans for help, but the Tibetans pretended not to hear or see it. Although they sent out troops symbolically, they only had a few thousand people. Moreover, they only pretended to patrol the border areas and did not follow up.”
"Really? Tibetan Langri Songzan is really ambitious. He just came to our court to meet the emperor, and when he returned, his face changed…"
What do you know? The Tibetans can't even protect themselves now. How can others have the time to care about you?
Langri Songzan would die soon. His son, Songzan Gambo, would destroy the other tribes and establish a true Tubo Kingdom.
Others are busy with their own affairs, so they wouldn't be bothered to interfere in the war between Great Sui and the Western Turks.
"Is it necessary?"
"What do you know?"
Ye Fan shook his head in amusement and said,"These guys are all local tycoons. Which one of them doesn't have tens of thousands of stones of grain?”
"When the emperor goes to war, he will definitely collect food. These people will bear the brunt and will definitely be taken advantage of.”
"In order to reduce their losses as much as possible, they must go back and hide all the food. Otherwise, when the granary is discovered by the soldiers, it would be strange if they didn't empty it.”
"Kid, learn. There are still many things in this world that you don't understand.”
Speaking up to this point, Ye Fan could not help but sigh softly. He thought to himself, But then again, why were the Western Turks stirring up trouble at this juncture?
This war had never happened before in history!
However, it had really happened now. For a moment, Ye Fan could not help but be suspicious.
Could it be that his appearance had caused a butterfly effect?
This should be the time when the Eastern Turks and Goguryeo were active, but now, the Goguryeo and Eastern Turks were becoming more and more well-behaved, while the trash Western Turks were the ones causing trouble.
What right did they have to cause trouble?
The Central Plainsmen didn't dare to go to the plateau?
Just as Ye Fan was thinking, two people suddenly appeared at the entrance of the restaurant.
One was Old Yang, and the other was Old Lai, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Ye Fan, oh Ye Fan, something big has happened, something big has happened!”
He had just received the news that the war at the northwest border was in an emergency. He had discussed with the ministers anxiously for a long time, but they still could not come up with a good solution.
Therefore, he took advantage of the gap and secretly ran over. He wanted to consult Ye Fan and see if he had any good moves.
"I say, Old Yang, the sky hasn't collapsed. Why are you panicking?”
Ye Fan looked at him curiously and said with a smile,"At this time, you should hurry up and hide the food. What are you doing here?”
"How? This war is not up to you or me.”
Ye Fan shook his head.
After hearing Ye Fan's words, the anxious Yang Guang was actually a little stunned for a moment.
"Ye Fan, if you were the emperor, how do you think you would resolve this war?”
At that time, Yang Guang had been brimming with confidence as he marched into the Western Turkic territory. However, in less than two days, due to altitude sickness and the frigid weather, the soldiers had already been killed or injured before they even encountered the Western Turkic army.
After hearing Yang Guang's question, Ye Fan immediately lowered his head and thought.
Although this war had never happened before, there were many similar wars in history.
The Western Turks had a harsh climate and harsh environment. The Central Plainsmen would suffer from severe altitude sickness after two days in the Western Turks.
Not to mention the Western Turks, many people in the northwest wouldn't be able to adapt to the climate there.
Not to mention that it was still winter, and spring had yet to begin. If the soldiers of the plains were allowed to advance to the northwest, or even into the Western Turks 'territory, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"If I were the emperor, I wouldn't panic. The first step is to recapture the vast territory west of Xiping County and Jiaohe County. The most important thing is to save hundreds of thousands of Great Sui people and soldiers.”
Ye Fan replied very calmly.
Seeing how anxious Old Yang was, Ye Fan sighed in his heart.
Since Old Yang was so concerned about the victory of the war, it seemed that he had indeed bet all his wealth on growing food.
He was worried about his own interests. After all, he had invested too much and planted too much food.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan sighed deeply."How we take it back will depend on the emperor's decision. The climate of the Western Turks and the northwest is harsh, and the emperor should be well aware of this natural situation. If one wanted to win a war, the most important thing was to rely on people.”
"I've just heard that the Western Turkic army has already taken control of Xiping Prefecture and Jiaohe Prefecture, two extremely important strategic fortresses.”
"What do you mean?"
Yang Guang narrowed his eyes and asked curiously.
"Why is it that everything was fine before, but now the war has suddenly become urgent?”
Ye Fan sighed." If the Western Turks want to enter Great Sui territory and invade Xiping County and Jiaohe County, they will need to march for at least ten days. With such a long journey, how can they pass by the counties without any news?"”
