"What the hell are you trying to say?" Li Yan frowned.

"I mean, the soldiers are fine but not many, although Langya is big, there is no need for 200,000 troops! If they are all soldiers like Xu Zhisheng's troops, only 30,000 are enough to stabilize Langya. Xiao Chen said.

"Thirty thousand?" Li Yan's eyes widened, "What are you kidding me?" ”

"Thirty thousand people is already a lot, and Yanyunguan is only seventy thousand." Xiao Chen said lightly, "Besides, now that Langya County has just suffered from the war, it will take several years to recover, before that, you raised more than 200,000 soldiers, can they supply it?" ”

"Well, Xiao Chen, I'm afraid you're not a good word?" Li Yan pondered for a long time and said, "I want to persuade me not to support the army and be self-respecting, so that the emperor and the court are worried that I will not lose my tail, but it is rare for the emperor to trust me so much, if I do it too low-key, I am afraid that it will not be good." ”

"High-profile publicity, low-key work." Xiao Chen said, "Don't be like Duan Fengnian, low-key propaganda and high-profile work, he is the governor of Langya, and he will have an army of 500,000 troops...... I don't have so many soldiers in Yanyun, Yizhou, and Gaojuli combined! ”

"You Xiao Chen won't talk about it, why are you still comparing Duan Fengnian with me? Can I repeat his mistakes? Li Yan said.

"You're repeating his mistakes now!" Xiao Chen said, "Now you want the establishment of 200,000 troops, and the emperor will definitely give it to you, just like when Duan Fengnian asked for soldiers, horses, armaments and food in the name of exterminating the remnants of Li Chang, the emperor also gave it, you see what is the ending of Langya!" ”

"Oops...... Am I in a bit of a hurry? Li Yan was blinked by Xiao Chen's roar.

"You're not in a hurry, you shouldn't have the mind to do it at all, there are 30,000 in Langya County, and at most 50,000 permanent soldiers and horses are enough, as long as the county is stable, there is Jiangzuo in the south, Old Man Murong Heng in the west, and Yanyun in the north, how can you use your troops?" Xiao Chen said.

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Li Yan was silent for a long time, but complained about Xiao Chen.

"I didn't know that you would do this, Lord Wang!" Xiao Chen said.

"Uh...... In fact, I have already looked for the military department, and I also told Lu Jing...... "Li Yan is embarrassed," these words have been said, how can I take them back? ”

"What you say to Lu Jing is not counted." Xiao Chen said, "The key is to tell the emperor, you tell the emperor that you asked the household department for 200,000 armaments on purpose, the purpose is to bluff and cover people's eyes, in fact, only 350,000 soldiers are enough......"

"Alas......" Li Yan sighed again and again when he heard it.

"Why is this not good?" Xiao Chen said, "Then you can use other excuses, lord." ”

"I didn't mean that, Xiao Chen, your idea is simply too good, leaving room for the emperor and the military department......" Li Yan said, "I sigh that these words are only Xiao Chen, you are willing to say to me, I don't believe that except for you, Xiao Chen has this insight, no one else can be a bystander?" ”

"Everyone else is smart people, only I stupidly told the prince that you shouldn't say these things!" Xiao Chen said, "But fortunately, you are also a really smart person, otherwise you might have beaten me out of the way by this time." ”

"It's definitely going to be hit, it's just a reward." Li Yan said with a smile, "I brought a lot of local specialties from Jiangzuo, and when you left, I brought a little when I went back, I originally wanted to offer the emperor's goods for the year, but it was difficult to walk on the road, and I didn't catch up with the New Year in a hurry." ”

"That's not necessary, Xie Changan also sent me some, you still keep it to reward others, the guests in the house have been like clouds in recent years, right?" Xiao Chen said.

"There are many clouds, and there are many doors." Li Yan said, "After I came back, I also sent someone to send some things to Lin Dongyang's house, saying that it was very cold in front of the door, hehe, people are warm and cold, and the world is cold." ”

"The prince is really kind-hearted, and he still thinks about Lin Dongyang." Xiao Chen said.

"After all, we had a good relationship with each other in the past, and I wouldn't have paid attention to him if I had a good relationship, but now that he's in trouble, it seems too much if I turn a blind eye to it anymore." Li Yandao.

"The emperor sent the prince to Langya County, but he didn't tell the prince who he was going to send to be the governor?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked.

"The emperor didn't say it, but I really asked the emperor, and the emperor said that he was still considering, but he didn't ask me to recommend a ......" Li Yan said and suddenly realized something, "What do you mean by your kid suddenly asking me about this?" ”

"Look at the prince, you are so careful, isn't this the end of the conversation?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"No, it's Lin Dongyang, how can you go directly to the governor of Langya County?" Li Yandao.

"So I said that if I talk too much, I will lose, and the prince will talk about it casually, so that I am speechless, and I will not dare to talk nonsense in the future, and I will have nothing to do." Xiao Chen got up and said goodbye, "The prince stays, I'll go first." ”

"Don't go, you kid, what do you mean by talking halfway? What are you talking nonsense? Anyway, you've been talking so much nonsense today, and you're missing this sentence? Li Yan followed behind and asked vigorously.

But Xiao Chen has said so far, he doesn't want to say anything more, he has said enough!

After taking a sip of water when he returned home, Lin Qi probed his brain, sneaked in mysteriously, and plugged in the door with his backhand in broad daylight.

"You kid is sneaky, this is going to be a thief!" Xiao Chen said, "I don't have anything in this house for you to steal!" ”

"Brother Xiao, Duan Yu wrote to me yesterday." Lin Qi whispered.

"Oh, is he still used to it in Yanyun?" Xiao Chen said, "I heard that he hangs out with those crazy people all day long, but don't be crazy too, I see that this kid himself is a little nervous." ”

"Hehe, Duan Yu likes these strange and clever things, and those crazy big brothers are his idols...... But Brother Xiao, you're right, this kid is a little nervous, and this time he didn't write to me about this, but there are some things for me to pass on to Brother Xiao. ”

"What's it, where is it?" Xiao Chen asked.

"That's it." Lin Qi said and took out a thick stack of letters from his arms.

The fire paint mark on the seal of the envelope that has been dried is still faintly visible, but it is the private seal of Li Feng, the king of Fengyang, and the letters inside are also written by Li Feng himself...... Anyway, the end is the same four words, and it will be burned after reading!

Xiao Chen opened and read a few letters, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and he asked in a deep voice, "Have you read all these letters?" ”

"I only read the top one, and I didn't dare to read the rest." Lin Qi said busily.

"Where did all these letters come from?" Xiao Chen asked again.

"Duan Fengnian still has a secret mansion in Fengyang City, no one knows except Duan Yu, Duan Fengnian has confessed to Duan Yu before his death, if he is killed by Li Feng one day, let Duan Yu go to a floor tile in this mansion and take these out......" Lin Qi said.
