Chapter 845

Yang Yang Zaixing fought for it because he already had outstanding martial arts and ability, but hadn't gotten any opportunities.

Following this line of thinking, no matter who wants to fight for something, at least you must have some skills you can show.

Although only Yang Yang Zaixing benefited from this matter, it was a situation that pleased everyone in the court.

Meanwhile.

Jin Ling City.

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was plotting with Li Er in the palace. Fang Fang Fang Xuanling was also sitting nearby.

Li Er wanted to discuss the idea of developing the south with Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji first.

Once a rough framework was formed, it would be taken to the court meeting for discussion.

"Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, according to the map presented by Minister Fang, there is such a large piece of land south of Jiaozhou!

I used to think it was wild and barbaric, and I never paid attention to it.

If I had taken these places earlier, I wouldn't have to worry about not being able to resist Great Qin!"

Li Er's hindsight sigh left people speechless.

If he had known?

If he had known, it would have been better not to offend Qin Mu; how could there be the current situation?

Fang Fang Fang Xuanling was resourceful, not only presenting the grand strategy of developing the south but also specific tactics.

At this time, he also told Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji.

"Lord Empress Empress Zhangsun, the land south of Lingnan is a world of its own. As long as we hold Shaoguan, no matter how many troops they have, they won't be able to invade.

Once the situation of Great Tang is unfavorable, it is the best place to retreat and defend.

Therefore, the development of the south has extremely important strategic significance."

These words were a bit discouraging, but they were also the truth.

The current Great Tang was indeed unable to resist Great Qin. Even with the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, they had no confidence in being able to defend it.

Managing a place to retreat and defend early on could be considered long-term thinking.

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji did not interrupt.

Fang Fang Fang Xuanling continued.

"Since Great Tang lost a thousand miles of land north of the Yangtze, the population has also been halved. On the contrary, Great Qin is constantly expanding its territory and increasing its population.

If this continues, Great Tang's national strength will only become worse and worse compared to Great Qin.

The south has a large population, which is a shortcut to enhance Great Tang's national strength!"

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji looked up and observed.

While Fang Fang Fang Xuanling was speaking earlier, the Emperor beside him kept nodding.

Looking at this, the Emperor also supported Fang Fang Fang Xuanling's strategy.

So, calling him here was nothing more than to provide some suggestions on details.

Time was short; what good suggestions could he think of?

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji felt that the strategy proposed by Fang Fang Fang Xuanling was just the right opportunity for Li Tai to make a contribution.

Thinking this in his heart, he spoke up.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Wei happens to be an envoy to the Harsha Empire, and he will pass through the southern countries on his way. The southern countries will all know that Great Tang has dealings with the Harsha Empire.

(cjfa)

We can send an elite force, disguised as a caravan, to launch a surprise attack on the royal cities of each country.

In less than a month, we can take down the royal cities of the southern countries!"

This plan of Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji's was quite ruthless!

Because Great Tang had just sent an Imperial Prince to be an envoy to the Harsha Empire.

The southern countries would likely not be on guard against the caravan sent by Great Tang afterward.

Striking suddenly, killing the kings of each country, controlling the ministers, and taking the royal cities would not be difficult.

Moreover, it wouldn't require mobilizing the masses.

Fang Fang Fang Xuanling had always disliked such devious conspiracies.

He stroked his beard and pondered for a long time.

"Lord Empress Empress Zhangsun, if we do this, the people of those southern foreign countries will probably not be submissive to Great Tang. Subsequent management will become a problem." Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji had always looked down on Fang Fang Fang Xuanling.

He felt that Fang Fang Fang Xuanling was certainly smart, but had too many concerns.

If nothing works, then don't do anything!

He retorted.

"What's difficult about this? We'll just copy how Great Qin treats us and use it to deal with those foreign barbarians!"

At this, Fang Fang Fang Xuanling had nothing to say.

Li Er felt very bitter in his heart.

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji's words were correct, but they were too damaging to his self-esteem.

Great Qin had used countless methods against Great Tang, causing the people of Great Tang to be restless now.

One important reason why the imperial court dared not fight Great Qin was that if a war started, they didn't know who the people would help?

This was very tragic!

In the final analysis, it was those small tricks used by Great Qin that worked, capturing the hearts of the Great Tang people.

Now, Great Tang also had the same condescending advantage when facing the southern countries.

They could really use Great Qin's tricks.

"Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, do you think those tricks might work?"

When Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji made the suggestion just now, he was just speaking casually.

Now that the Emperor asked, he had to consider it carefully.

It wasn't that he had no ideas.

This was an opportunity.

What Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was considering was how he and other aristocratic families could get the greatest benefits from it?

If he had no benefits, and it was only beneficial to the country, he would never do it.

"Your Majesty, do you remember when Qin Mu beheaded hundreds of people of the Cui family in Yizhou?"

How could he not remember this?

Qin Mu seized a mistake of the Cui family and mobilized the people who hated the aristocratic families to accuse the Cui family together.

Not only did he kill hundreds of people of the Cui family and seize all their wealth and land, but he also gained a reputation and won unanimous praise from the people.

Fame and fortune!

Li Er roughly understood what Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji meant.

It was to learn this trick; once the royal cities of the southern foreign countries were taken, they would mobilize the people to slaughter those foreign aristocratic families.

This wasn't impossible, but there was one problem.

"Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, Great Tang's system is different from Great Qin's.

If we do this as soon as we go, the management structure will collapse; who will manage the people?" ===== CHAPTER 847 =====
