The Best Fake Eunuch

Chapter 159 The Grasshopper After Autumn

"Xiao Chen, you really have a heart." Li Shishi tried the brand-new mount under Xiao Chen's guidance and expressed his satisfaction.

"As long as the prince likes it, that's fine." Xiao Chen said.

"After accepting such a thoughtful gift from you, why should I give you something?" Li Shi was embarrassed again.

In fact, he also knew that Xiao Chen must have something to ask for when he comes here, this kid will go to the Three Treasure Hall for everything!

Now that the emperor sent him to the northern border, it was tantamount to sending him to his death. How could such a shrewd person not know?

Maybe he came to beg himself to intercede with the emperor.

Screen off everyone first, and see what this kid wants to do?

"I don't want anything, this servant is here to bid farewell to the prince." Xiao Chen said.

"Oh? Is there nothing else?" Li Shi was quite surprised. He was afraid that he would not be able to speak, so he deliberately passed the message to him, but he didn't answer it?

"I just ask you to take care of yourself, not for yourself, but for the country and society of the Great Zhou." Xiao Chen looked serious, not like he was flattering.

"Hehe, I don't understand what you said, kid." Li Shi was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"My lord is wise, what don't you understand? It's just that the servant is dull and can't speak." Xiao Chen didn't laugh.

"If you can't speak, there will be no one in the world who can speak." Li Shi stared at Xiao Chen for a long time, then sighed softly.

"It depends on who you tell it to. If it's not the prince, the slave will not dare to say a word." Xiao Chen paused and said, "If it's not the slave who is about to leave, then he will definitely not say anything."

"You knew you shouldn't say it, but you still said it." Li Shi sighed again.

"If the servant dies here, then there is no need to say anything. If he escapes by chance, it will be thanks to the prince." Xiao Chen had already said it anyway, so he simply said it bluntly.

"I heard that you kid has been tossing around a lot in the past few days. Many people have already participated in your performance." Li Shi changed the subject.

"My lord, even if the servant is a grasshopper after autumn, don't you still have to jump up and down?" Xiao Chen laughed.

"Even the grasshoppers after autumn have to eat enough to jump. When you go to northern Xinjiang, the most important thing is food and grass. After you have been hopping for a long time, do you have any food and grass?" Li Shi asked.

"Hehe, there is a place to pay, but people have said that they will be paid according to the meal, that is, they have eaten the last meal and don't know where the next meal will be." Xiao Chen smiled wryly.

"Well, if there is no supply of food and grass, the morale of the army will be disordered. This battle has already been lost... Do you know Niutoushan?" Li Shidao.

"I vaguely know a little bit." Xiao Chen blinked his eyes while pretending to think, this is a sign that he is lying.

Of course he knows Niutoushan, Li Tanhua is there.

Moreover, Chen Jisheng and Zhuge Xiaosheng attach great importance to this place. When they say that they go to Yanyun County, the first task is to occupy it first, because Niutoushan's strategic location is extremely important, and the terrain is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it can be used as a stable foothold Point, get a firm foothold first, and then plan other things.

"I vaguely know how to do it?" Li Shi frowned, "The emperor's imperial decree has been issued for so many days, and you are not even familiar with the terrain of Yanyun County?"

"I also ask the prince to enlighten me." Xiao Chen said hurriedly.

"Well, I don't care if you pretend to be confused with this king or what, I have to say this, Niutou Mountain is extremely important, you must find a way to take it down, there are many dry things in that mountain. A natural cave can be used as a granary, as long as you store enough grain and grass there, you will be able to stand still."

Li Shi really didn't hesitate to enlighten him, and his words were exactly the same as Chen Jisheng's and Zhuge Xiaosheng's.

"What's the use of just having a granary? The main reason is that there is no food!" Xiao Chen scratched his head.

"Hehe, since ancient times, there have been wars in Yanyun County in all dynasties. It was the same during the Han Dynasty. Back then, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty stationed hundreds of thousands of troops in Yanyun County. How could there be a few big granaries? There were obvious ones, and there were hidden ones. Naturally, it depends on whether you can find it, kid."

"You only have 3,000 soldiers, and the total number of soldiers can't exceed 5,000. As long as you find a granary, it will be enough for you to feed for ten years."

"There is such a thing?" Xiao Chen was very surprised when he heard the words, and his eyes blinked faster, so he was lying again.

Because he already knew about it, but it was not easy to say it from Li Shi's mouth.

The real purpose of Xiao Chen's coming here was not to ask Li Shi for advice, but to have an attitude from Li Shi. Although Li Shi was noncommittal, this attitude already explained everything, so Xiao Chen's goal was achieved.

Chen Jisheng said that the reason why Dazhou Sheji was unstable was because it was top-heavy and tail-heavy.

The so-called light feet are naturally because Li Wanjiang has just won the country not long ago, the chaos is still not settled, the world is not settled, and the foundation is not deep.

The so-called big tail is because the generals who lead troops outside have too much power, such as Murong Heng and Li Wanyun, all of them have more than 100,000 soldiers, and the tail can't be lost. Li Wanjiang also feels quite heavy when he is displaying his skills.

The most important thing is head-heavy. Head-heavy has two meanings. One is important. Li Wanjiang has a resolute personality, which will inevitably lead to self-willedness. All important decisions are made by him alone. He is stubborn and does not listen to anyone. People's words, even if they are loyal words, are hard on his ears.

As the old saying goes: The king is the lightest, but the country is the most important!

But Li Wanjiang, the king, puts himself first and the country as the least.

Another layer of meaning is heavy, and that is the complicated relationship between Li Wanjiang and his sons.

He appointed his eldest son, Li Xian, as the prince, but he didn't trust or like him. However, as the crown prince of the country, the prince had a high position and power. Naturally, many people would follow and support him for the sake of his children and grandchildren.

He trusts and likes his youngest son, King Fengyang the most. King Fengyang is resolute and resolute, and holds great military power. Naturally, many people support and follow him, and most of them are important generals in the army.

Li Shi, the only one who is relatively powerless and powerless, has a very high IQ, a deep palace, kindness to others, and outstanding prestige.

Coupled with the blessing of the Empress Dowager, many people supported and followed him, of course, few were overt, and many were secretly.

One head and two big heads are enough to worry about, but now his Li family has one big head and three small heads, who do you think is more important?

Li Wanjiang may also be aware of this, so he is going to cut off a small head, but you are already inhumane enough if you cut off his head, you can't cut his body into pieces, can you?

Where will these arms and legs go in the future? Do we have to turn to the two little heads?

In this way, the situation is more complicated.

This Li Shi naturally knew it well, and Xiao Chen also knew it clearly, so he came here to tell Li Shi that if I, Xiao Chen, can gain a foothold in Yanyun in the future, I will be your Jiangdong King's man.

Even though the two had no relationship before, Xiao Chen's arrival was not unexpected, because your old man Li Wanjiang not only doesn't want me, but also frankly wants to kill me!

The prince is a rotten wood, and I am not familiar with Fengyang King, so I can only turn to the prince, your mountain...
