Liang Shidu was the last military town in the Great Tang.
After Li Yuan founded the country, Li Shimin, who was still the King of Qin, successively took down Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou, Xue Rengao, and other military towns, establishing the situation of Li Tang ruling the Central Plains in one fell swoop.
Liang shi was the only one who hadn't been dealt with.
Liang Shidu occupied Shuofang and had the Turks backing him. With the support of his father, he was naturally strong.
If Li Shi Min wanted to make a move against him, he had to consider the movements of the Turks. This was also the reason why he hadn't attacked Liang Shidu for three years.
Now that the Turks were slowly losing their temper and their own forces were beginning to split apart, Li Shiming was no longer as powerful as before. If he did not seize the opportunity to kill Liang Shidu, he would not be fit to be the Emperor of the Great Tang.
Xiao Fan smiled casually and said,"Don't you believe me when I say that as long as the Great Tang sends troops, it will take down Shuofang without wasting a single soldier?"”
A few days ago, he had just signed the New Book of Tang, so he naturally knew the outcome of this war.
To be honest, seeing this history, Xiao Fan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
" After the Tang Dynasty unified the Central Plains," he continued," the literati began to denounce Liang Shidu, the traitor of Shuofang in Summer Prefecture.”
"In the past three years, Liang Shidu's greatest reliance, the Turks, has encountered internal problems and has been unable to take care of themselves.”
"As long as the Great Tang sends troops, Liang Shidu will definitely not be able to ask the Turks for help. The Turks are already at loggerheads internally, so how can they mobilize their troops to take care of Liang Shidu? They weren't stupid. They had used Liang Shidu to protect him just to seize the wealth, women, livestock, cattle, horses, and other goods of the Summer State.”
"In the past three years, the people of Summer Prefecture's Shuofang Town have been enslaved to the point of fear, and Liang Shidu's subordinates have probably long been dissatisfied.”
"Actually, everyone who holds a high position like Liang Shidu has the same thoughts.”
At this point, Xiao Fan deliberately kept them in suspense.
Li Shiming's appetite was really whetted. His eyes flickered as he asked Xiao Fan,"What heart?"
Xiao Fan shrugged,"It's easy for these people in high positions to go up, but do you think it's possible for them to come down and submit to others?"”
Li Shiming's gaze was complicated as he nodded silently. Clearly, he had already agreed with Xiao Fan's words.
Xiao Fan continued,"Liang Shidu is the leader of the bandits in the Summer Province. He will not submit to others, so he will definitely not surrender.”
"But his relatives and subordinates are different. They are still citizens of the Great Tang. On the one hand, they are afraid of the Great Tang attacking them, and on the other hand, they are afraid of being enslaved by the Turks. If they defect to the Great Tang, the Imperial Court will give them the greatest leniency.”
"Who wants to die? If nothing goes wrong, Liang Shidu's younger brother, Liang Luoren, will be the first to slaughter Liang Shidu and present the Great Tang with a generous surrender gift.”
Hiss!
Li Shi Min gasped and said,"No way! You can even kill your own brother?"
After saying this, Li Shi Min was suddenly speechless.
Everyone had the right to say this, but he didn't.
So what if they were brothers? Wasn't it still nonsense in the face of life and death? He did it himself.
It seemed that every ambitious person was very indifferent to family ties.
In an instant.
Li Shiming suddenly began to believe Xiao Fan's prediction.
Xiao Fan smiled and said to Li Shimin,"How much is a brother worth in the face of life and death?"”
He shook his head and continued,"If you don't believe me, wait a few more days." Of course, if Second Emperor Li had the heart, he would be able to obtain even greater benefits from the battle against Liang Shidu.”
"Ah?"
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were already stunned when Xiao Fan suddenly said that he could obtain even greater benefits.
Both of their heads were so stiff that they could not think.
"What other benefits can I ask for?" Li Shimin murmured.”
Xiao Fan sighed and said,"That's why you're not suitable to be an official. You should do business honestly."”
Li Shimin was burning with anxiety. He really wanted to know what the greater benefits Xiao Fan was talking about were.
"You brat, you didn't say anything in the middle of your sentence.”
Xiao Fan chuckled,"You seem to be concerned about the country's affairs. Alright, I'll just tell you casually. In any case, Emperor Li Er will also do these things when he attacks Liang shi."”
I know how to do it?
What will I do?
Li Shi Min himself didn't know what to do after taking down Liang Shi Du.
Pacify the remaining Liang Shidu? Get a good reputation?
But how could this be considered a greater benefit?
Li Shimin clearly knew that Xiao Fan's next words would definitely not be so simple.
As expected.
Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes and said,"As a ruler, you should first plan for others, then for yourself, and then for the country."”
"The Turks have already entered winter, and the snow will soon seal the road. It will be very difficult for the two countries to travel.”
"If Liang Shidu is destroyed, Second Emperor Li will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to hide the news of Liang Shidu's fall from the Tang Empire and send Liang Shidu's trusted aides deep into the Turks. Whether it's through stratagem or strategy, no matter what, we will seize this information gap. If we do it well, the Great Tang can destroy the Turks! You're plotting against someone else's country!"
Bang!
The teacup in Li Shi Min's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
Gulp.
Du Ruhui swallowed his saliva and pretended to get a broom. He casually began to clean up the tea cups that had fallen to the ground.
Taking advantage of this gap, Du Ruhui stole a glance at Li Shimin.
He found that Li Shiming was really excited.
"Ahem."
Du Ruhui coughed and reminded Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's thoughts were pulled back. Then, he smiled awkwardly at Xiao Fan.
"You brat, didn't you see that there's such a ravine in your stomach?”
Xiao Fan pursed his lips."Yes, if you came back later, I might have recognized the wrong father."”
Xiao Fan was complaining that he had not returned for many years. He did not care about this family and did not even make it to his mother's funeral.
Li Shimin was speechless.
Du Ruhui was speechless.
You really have a jinx, kid.
"Hehe, no way!" Li Shi Min smiled awkwardly," Oh right, take me to pay my respects to your mother. It must have been hard on him to train you to be so outstanding."”
F * ck!
Du Ruhui shuddered.
As the emperor of the Great Tang, what the hell was going on?
Are you worthy of your ancestors?
However, aside from being shocked, Du Ruhui was calm.
Just based on Xiao Fan's far-sighted analysis, he was worthy of Li Shimin's respect.
This was a great plan for the country!
Although Xiao Fan did not go into detail, he pointed out the direction. Moreover, as long as he made good use of this direction, he might really be able to plot for the country!!!
