"Fang Xiang, before leaving Beijing, he had to rely on Fang Xiang to help with the proposal of increasing troops and tax reduction in fiefdoms."

The two walked side by side.

"What does Wen Yuan think of Tuyuhun and how should the court deal with it?"

Last year, the prince sent troops to fight against Tuyuhun. In half a year, the court was in Tuyuhun with 70,000 Tang troops, and the assistance of Supi and Niu Jinda from the Western Regions, the Khan Murong Fuyun of Tuyuhun retreated step by step and fled to Tubo.

The entire Tuyuhun was captured by the Tang army.

Now Fang Xuanling is asking about how the court dealt with Tuyuhun. Murong Fuyun sent envoys in Tubo to surrender to the court. I hope the court can understand.

"There is no need for Tuyuhun to exist. If Tuyuhun exists for one day, then it will threaten the Hexi Corridor for one day, and the western territory of the Tang Dynasty will be unsafe. I suggest that the court sets Tuyuhun as Qinghai Road, directly under the jurisdiction of the court, and sets up prefectures and counties. For the former Tuyuhun people, whether they are Xianbei people, Dangxiang Qiang people, or Di people, they must register their households and register them."

"Where is Murong Fuyun?"

"Let Tubo hand over them. If Tubo doesn't hand over others, the court can send troops to attack Tubo."

"Attacking Tubo?"

Li Chaotou, "Now my Tang Dynasty is in the forefront, and now is a great opportunity to recover the entire Qiangtang Tubo in one fell swoop. If the court takes this opportunity to occupy the Qiangtang Tubo in Qinghai, it will not only be safe for Hexi and the Western Regions, but also the territory of the Tang Dynasty is also connected and safer."

Fang Xuanling looked slightly.

"The imperial court has been using troops continuously in recent years, and the military expenditure is still high every year, and there are many casualties among soldiers."

"The court can bear the military expenditure. Now the court has a high income. As for the casualties of soldiers, active attacks are always stronger than passive defense. If we have the opportunity to fight now, then when the foreigners invade and plunder border states in the future, the casualties we have to pay will be greater. Moreover, the army will become stronger and stronger as the horses are released to the Nanshan Mountain, they will soon become weaker."

"A war of appropriate scale can help temper the army and maintain the combat effectiveness of the Tang army." Li Chao said.

"Wen Yuan, I really think you should stay in the court. When I am old, you should be the Minister of the Central Secretariat. The prime minister serves every five years, and a position is up to two or ten years. Isn't it the one you proposed at the beginning? I, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, have been ten years."
