Chapter 568
"My lord, isn't this too...too radical? I think it's better to discuss it with the lord of Fengyang. Presumably he will also take the overall situation into consideration and return our warship." Xiao Chen was surprised when he heard this, why the lord? Are you so fierce? But I really didn't see it.
"Xiao Chen, you are also a person who has led soldiers and served as a general. Before you were about to set off, someone forcibly snatched away your elite soldiers, your chariot, and your food and grass. What should you do?" Li Shidao.
"I want to come back." Xiao Chen hurriedly said, "Otherwise how can we fight this battle?"
"Xiao Chen, get in touch with General Qin Gang as soon as possible after you go back. The key to this battle is at sea, but the land battle is also very important..." Li Shicha changed the subject.
"My lord, I won't participate in the land battle. It's all up to General Qin Gang. I'm only responsible for sending people, vehicles, troops and strength for him." Xiao Chen said.
"Well, that's fine. General Qin Gang is in charge of leading the troops. You just need to close the logistics. You will divide the work and cooperate to win this battle." Li Shi didn't say much.
After talking with Li Shi, Xiao Chen was ready to go back.
Before going back, he would naturally have to go to the palace to say goodbye to the empress dowagers and queens. The main reason is that he has always had the title of Duke of Xichang. I don't know whether Li Wanjiang forgot or did it on purpose, and he has never been dismissed.
Xiao Chen continued working in a daze, that's good, at least it's very convenient to get in and out of the harem.
After bidding farewell to Li Wanjiang, he went to look for the old witch mother, the queen mother, thinking that she would excuse her illness to see her, but unexpectedly, she met her face as soon as she went... How annoying!
The Empress Dowager's attitude towards Xiao Chen was very affectionate, and it was all thanks to the silver that she ordered people to give him a seat and serve tea.
By the way, Xiao Chen made a lot of money taking her with him, it's only been over a year, and it's worth millions of taels of silver!
That's not even counting Shi Mingtao's bonus... Xiao Chen, this little bastard is really a pain in the ass!
But meeting Xiao Chen this time is naturally not to thank him, this is what he should do, just because you are so filial and sensible, I have always protected you...
At least I didn't care about you when you messed up. This is a great kindness, and you should know how to repay it.
"Xiao Chen, Qin Gang will settle down in your Yanyun County from now on. You two, one civil and one military, must get along well, and you must not make any troubles, you know?" The queen mother is tantamount to warning Xiao Chen.
This guy Xiao Chen is rebellious, he doesn't pay attention to anyone who is full of civil and military affairs, and naturally he doesn't take Qin Gang as a general soldier too seriously.
So the queen mother specially brought Xiao Chen here to put some pressure on him and remind him of his relationship with Qin Gang. If you dare to disrespect my nephew Qin Gang, you will hit my queen mother in the face!
You kid must be aware of this serious consequence.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I have also cooperated with General Qin Gang, and the cooperation is quite pleasant." Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
"Well, that's good. Actually, I don't need to tell you this for a sensible person like you...By the way, I heard that the trade market you opened is completely open? It's not appropriate. , Those tribes in northern Xinjiang are all wolf cubs, do you know when they will turn their backs? Don't take it lightly." The Queen Mother changed the subject.
Xiao Chen was startled, Chrysanthemum tightened.
I said in my heart, you shameless old witch, you are not satisfied with how much money I have made for you, are you thinking about my trade market again?
What you say is that you want Qin Gang to send troops to take over the management of the trade market in the name of the town, right?
I really want to blind your black heart!
"Qin Gang is going to bring nearly 20,000 soldiers to help you regain Shunfeng Harbor this time. Now our court has no money. I'm afraid that in the future, you will have to raise the food and salaries for these soldiers. You Yanyun County must also Without this power... I think it would be better to leave all the affairs of Shunfeng Port to Qin Gang and let him raise the military salary by himself."
Xiao Chen thought it was really good!
That is to say, the two most profitable places in my Yanyun County belong to you now?
"I know that your body is inconvenient, so don't worry too much. Some complicated matters are simply handed over to Qin Gang. Is your Yanyun County short of people now? Later, I will ask Qin Gang to help you decide what you can do." You can rest easy and recuperate." It turned out that the empress dowager's arrangement was all for Xiao Chen's good.
So I have to thank you?
"Thank you Empress Dowager for your kindness! The Empress Dowager is so considerate, I really don't know what to say..." Xiao Chen was so moved that he almost cried.
"Well... I'm old too, and I shouldn't have to worry about these little things, but who made me love you? Since you mean that, then I'll help you to tell the emperor later that he loves you so much, presumably It will be granted." The queen mother sighed.
Xiao Chen said in his heart, when did I have such a meaning? Isn't that what you mean, old hag?
Before, I always thought that my skin was thick, but compared to the Queen Mother, you are as thin as a cicada's wing, which can be broken by blowing a bomb!
But it's fine if you treat me as a fool, but why don't you treat your son Li Wanjiang as a fool?
It's okay for me to agree, but do you think he will agree?
It's useless even if he agrees.
There is one thing you probably haven't figured out yet, the life of your nephew Qin Gang is in my hands!
I have many ways to kill him, and killing him is almost like killing an ant, you know?
If you talk to me well, I might really be able to spare his life, but what you said today is like sending him into your ancestral grave with your own hands!
Still want Shunfeng Harbor... What do you guys think?
Even if I don't kill him, your son Li Wanjiang will definitely kill him!
He can even deal with his own son and your own grandson, let alone a cousin.
If you don't believe me, let's wait and see.
Farewell to the Empress Dowager, and came to Kunning Palace again, Murong Danqiu was not happy to see his angry face.
People have been looking forward to you for a long time, and you give them face when you come?
Pretty face also suddenly turned cold.
"Who made you angry?" Xiao Chen couldn't see his expression, but only looked at Murong Danqiu's displeasure.
I said in my heart that I managed to get rid of that annoying old hag to come to see you, so you're going to throw face at her?
"I still want to ask you!" Murong Danqiu said.
"How do I know?" Xiao Chen was stunned.
"I was asking why you made such a big face as soon as you came in, as if someone owed you eight hundred hangs!" Murong Danqiu's fiery heart to bid farewell to him was half cooled now.
"Who else, that old witch!" Xiao Chen said angrily, "I almost didn't piss me off!"
"You mean the Queen Mother?" Murong Danqiu realized that he had misunderstood Xiao Chen.
"Who else is there besides her?" Xiao Chen sat down on his buttocks, "Who did you say first made you angry?"
"I'm not angry, it's because you pulled your face and thought you were angry with me, so I became angry... Stop being angry, drink some water, and tell me how that old witch made you so angry ?”
Murong Danqiu turned angry and laughed, and turned on the gossip mode by the way.
