"They must've heard the news, but isn't it obvious that they're defending their cities and not coming out to fight? The Western Turkic army is heading straight for Xiping County and Jiaohe County.”
"There must be a mole! The two prefects of Xiping Prefecture and Jiaohe Prefecture must have led their troops to rebel. As for whether the prefectures west of Xiping Prefecture and Jiaohe Prefecture had rebelled, it was unknown.”
"The Western Turks are guarding Xiping County and Jiaohe County, and the roads along the way will definitely be filled with scouts. The Western Turks want to cut off the connection between Great Sui and the northwest so that they can slowly erode the armies and cities of the northwest.”
"Therefore, Tian Zi has no way of knowing if any of them betrayed the country.”
His words woke him up from his dream!
Why didn't they think of this before?
If that was the case, wouldn't the emperor be walking right into a trap if he sent troops now?
When the time came, two county mayors would collude with the Western Turks to lure the Great Sui soldiers into the city and kill them. This was not something that had never happened in history.
"In any case, if the Western Turks want to control Xiping Prefecture and Jiaohe Prefecture, they'll have to send a large number of soldiers. In addition, they believe that the weather in the Western Turkic region is bad, so the defense of Mount Sanmi north of Qiuci will definitely be weak.”
"If we can send an army to bypass Xiping Prefecture and Jiaohe Prefecture, pass through the Eastern Turkic territory, and enter the Western Turkic court in Yiwu Prefecture, then the Western Turks will naturally have to kneel and call me grandfather.”
"Wonderful!"
After hearing Ye Fan's words, Yang Guang's eyes immediately lit up.
However, Lai Hu 'er's expression was heavy as he shook his head and sighed."Although this plan is ingenious, the danger is proportional to the benefits. If we pass through the Eastern Turks 'territory and alarm the Eastern Turks, they will mistake the Great Sui for an invasion. When that happens, they will station a large number of troops in the northern borders or even invade directly.”
"Even if we ignore all this, we can send an army to attack the Western Turkic Imperial Court. This army must be the cream of the crop. The path to the Western Turks is filled with natural dangers and there are still several hundred li of desert. Whether or not we can successfully enter the Western Turks is still unknown…"
"There will definitely be danger. If we don't fight it out, we'll have to confront the Western Turks. The Western Turks are extremely ambitious and won't retreat so easily. They're determined to take over the northwest. If we delay for too long, the northwest will slowly be devoured by the Western Turks. Don't forget that the northwest and the Western Turks have some connection…"
Ye Fan sighed and shrugged helplessly."If these people side with the Western Turks, so what if we defeat them? With the hearts of the people lost, what could the emperor use to guard the northwest region?”
"This…"
Ye Fan's words made Yang Guanghe come to protect his son. He completely did not know what to say.
"This method is the only way to solve the problem perfectly. Now, it depends on Tian Zi's decision…"
At this point, Ye Fan shook his head."It's useless for us to discuss it enthusiastically here. Let's just wait for the results. Old Yang, if you want to minimize your losses, it's best if you provide rations for the Great Sui army. We can earn less, but as long as Great Sui can defeat the Western Turks as soon as possible, that will be the most beneficial for us.”
"What you said makes sense, but I really can't accept this! I've put all my money into this. If I just throw it away like this, it'll be more painful than killing me.”
Speaking up to this point, Yang Guang immediately looked at Ye Fan with anticipation: "Ye Fan, since you know so much, why don't I use my connections to recommend you and let you join the army as an exception to participate in the war? This way, not only can you make contributions, but because of your participation, the probability of winning this war will also be higher.”
"D * mn, are you trying to kill me?"
Ye Fan pursed his lips,"In such a dangerous battle, wouldn't it be bad for me to join the army?"”
Although he used fear of death as an excuse, Ye Fan was actually very worried about the unreliable Yang Guang.
Yang Guang was a person with great ambitions but little talent. If he worked for him, he would probably be tired of living.
"Brother Ye, I've used all my wealth to grow food. Our interests are tied together. If we lose the war and the Western Turks invade, all our efforts will be wasted!”
"Are you really willing to give up such a huge profit?”
Yang Guang asked one after another. Then, he could not help but beg,"Just take it that I'm begging you. Help me this once!”
Seeing that Tian Zi had actually lowered his status to beg for help, Lai Hu 'er's eyes widened in shock. His heart felt as if it had been run over by ten thousand f ** k mud horses.
Wasn't this too f * cking scary?
A dignified emperor was actually so lowly?
Even if Ye Fan, this kid, was indeed very outstanding, it wasn't to the extent that you would treat him like this, right?
He really couldn't understand.
Was this really the same awe-inspiring and decisive emperor in the imperial court?
Why did he seem to have changed into a different person after leaving the court?
"Hey, Old Yang, you're really too worried. Think about it, there are so many generals under the emperor. Even if I join the army, it won't be my turn, right?”
This was the most painful lesson in Yang Guang's life.
Although he still hadn't absorbed it, every time he thought about it, he still felt a little afraid.
"Ye Fan, to be blunt, although there are many generals under the emperor, there are very few who can adapt to fighting on the plateau. I still think highly of you.”
Seeing how determined Old Yang was, Ye Fan thought that he had taken the wrong medicine.
Even if he knew some ministers and used his connections to get him to join the army, it was impossible for him to be given a high position in one go.
If he couldn't be a high official, he wouldn't be qualified to give advice in front of the emperor.
Even if he had ideas, strategies, and Cao Mengde's military methods and strategies, what was the use?
This official position couldn't even smell the emperor's fart, alright?
As if sensing the conflict in Ye Fan's heart, Yang Guang immediately said,"Ye Fan, don't worry. I have a lot of connections and know a few important officials in the court. Yang Yichen has a good relationship with me. When the time comes, I can get them to mention your plan to the emperor.”
