Whether this phenomenon was good or bad... it was still too early to judge.
Judging solely by its current effects, however, the answer was already obvious.
Perhaps the path Yue Fei and the others had forged was not necessarily the best.
Yet it had proven to be the command and management method best suited to the Tianwu Dynasty.
Xiao Tianyang set the strategic objectives, while Wang Jian and the others formulated the detailed battle plans.
In the past, Xiao Tianyang would have Wang Jian and the others discuss matters privately before submitting the specific operational plan to him.
Yet after Zhang Liang's guidance, Xiao Tianyang decided to change his approach.
First, he would no longer casually express his opinions during military meetings.
Second, his main purpose in attending such meetings was to gain a deeper understanding of Wang Jian and the others.
Lastly, while Xiao Tianyang no longer needed to handle every matter personally, he could not afford to understand nothing at all.
Listening was the best solution.
If he acted according to the above method, it would bring nothing but benefits.
Not only could he achieve his goal of understanding them, but he could also participate in the entire process of a plan's creation.
The only price he had to pay was a little more time, which was no loss at all in essence.
From beginning to end, the meeting took just over half an hour.
Xiao Tianyang did not utter a single word.
Moreover, because he had fallen behind on too much studying before, his understanding of certain details was not particularly complete.
Of course, Xiao Tianyang did not need to focus too much on the details. He was not an executor, and fully researching them would be useless.
Xiao Tianyang only needed to grasp the general direction.
