If there is anything that small Jiangyou can reach quickly even if you walk, there is no need to use expensive cavalry. A seventh-rank county magistrate, as long as he does his duty, it is enough, but Lu Haoshan does it a little more.

Seeing that Lu Haoshan was not speaking, Li Nian showed a proud and undetectable smile on his lips and continued: "Sir, if you don't have this kind of thought, just think that I, Li Nian, are nonsense and lawless, want to scold, beat, and kill, and have no complaints."

Lu Haoshan pondered for a moment, and did not answer his question positively, but asked: "Mr. Li, what do you think of the current situation?"

"Then the same sentence, the Ming Dynasty has accumulated deep resentment, and the natural disaster is over. That is, the Ming Dynasty has been exhausted. Now it is just a breath of energy. It will be replaced sooner or later. However, the Ming Dynasty has been in operation for more than 200 years and still has some old foundation and capital, and will not collapse immediately. However, when it is in trouble with internal and external affairs, it will develop secretly, dig deep into the walls, accumulate grain, wait for an opportunity to move, and will definitely get the favor of God in the end."

Li Nian said this very reasonably. If the historical process is not wrong, the Ming Dynasty could have persisted for more than ten years, that is, after Emperor Chongzhen's death, he established the Southern Ming Dynasty, and continued the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasty for more than ten years until it was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty and drowned in the long river of history.

That's right, but these are clichés and are not outstanding. It's not enough to be the master in your mind. Lu Haoshan's eyes rolled twice and continued to ask: "In Mr. Li's opinion, is Jiangyou's place suitable for development?"

"Suitable"

"Oh, how can I see it?" Lu Haoshan asked.

Li Nian knew that this was a test given to him by Lu Haoshan. It would be impossible to become his military advisor without any real materials. After pondering for a while, he began to introduce: "From the military perspective of China, it can be described as a chessboard. The whole China is like an irregular chessboard. Guanzhong, Hebei, Southeast and Sichuan are its four corners, Shanxi, Shandong, Hubei and Hanzhong are its four sides, and the Central Plains are its hinterland. Looking at all dynasties, although China is vast, the main decisive role in the war is the above nine regions."

"Sichuan is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, with four sides high and middle low. It is a typical basin structure. There are mountains and ridges on all sides of the basin. This kind of defense is incomparable to other places. There are also three gorges in the Yangtze River and Jialing River as the intersection of the east and north, and these two holes are very dangerous. In addition, there are many roads that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Sichuan is a corner on the chessboard, and its status is very important. From a historical perspective, most of which can be used to maintain a dangerous place in the mountains and rivers of the four corners, which can achieve hegemony. Of course, geographical conditions alone are not enough, and it also needs to be supported by the people. Jiangyou is located in Sichuan, that is, in the four corners, and you can use this geography and then slowly draw it."

Lu Haoshan frowned and said, "Mr. Li means that as long as he occupys a favorable terrain, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort, right?"

"A favorable terrain is conducive to development, but it is not possible to rely solely on the Xiongguan. A friend of mine is right. Sometimes it is virtue but not dangerous. Although Tongguan is dangerous, Xiang Yu once entered it, Cao Cao once entered it, Liu Yu once entered it, Anshi rebels also entered it; although Qutang is dangerous, Cen Peng once entered it, Huan Wen once entered it, Zhu Lingshi once entered it, Liu Guangyi once entered it, and Tang He once entered it; sometimes, success or failure depends on one's heart." Li Nian said leisurely.

Damn, I found the treasure.

Even in my dream, Li Nian, who was not astonishingly beautiful, was so familiar with mountains, rivers and geography. Speaking of these things, it was obvious that he had spent a lot of effort on it. Others were confident and had maps. It was hard to be afraid of being so proud just now. People still had real talents and knowledge, which confirmed an old saying: If a person does not look good, the sea cannot be measured.

I originally thought of holding Li Dingguo's good seedlings in my hands and cultivating them well, but I didn't expect that I would bring his uncle to the point of beating a rabbit. Li Nian is knowledgeable and talented. If the above words were summarized by him, then he could be a very good military advisor.

Lu Haoshan said strangely: "Mr. Li, it's like seeing you in person. Didn't you live in Yulin with your brother? How do you know so much?"

"I'm not hiding it to my master," Li Nian said with a wry smile: "My brother and I have different personalities. He likes quietness and I love moving. He especially likes to travel around the mountains and rivers. His biggest wish is to travel all over the beautiful rivers and mountains of China. For this reason, I even had a quarrel with my brother. As soon as my father left, I sold the fields I got for money and went for fun. I was at home for a few days a year. I have been to Tatar in the north, to Qiongzhou in the south, to Yadong in the west, and to Dengzhou in the south."

This is considered to have traveled all over China. When he thought of him seeing different scenery and experiencing various customs and customs, Lu Haoshan looked at him leisurely and couldn't help but ask: "It takes a lot of time to go to so many places, right? Can your wife agree?"

"Yes, it took me more than ten years to walk forward. Sometimes I have no money to do some work, casual work, scattered workers, teachers, servants, and even Ye Xiang turned over. Once I saved up the money, I continued to move forward. People like me who ignore my family, there is no wife? I have been doing this all these years. It's good that I'm alone and my whole family is not hungry. Fortunately, my elder brother takes into account the brotherhood and has always supported me. Every time I go home, I will give me money and food." Li Nian pointed to his legs and said:

"Look, this leg broke while climbing a mountain. There was no doctor in the mountain. After finally rescuing it, the foot fell into the disease and was not easy to walk. This is also good. It just happened to be guarding Dingguo at home and couldn't even leave." Li Nian said self-deprecatingly.

So that's the case. No wonder Li Nian had a problem with her feet. She broke her during a trip. I didn't expect that there would be such a tourist crazier in the Ming Dynasty.

Suddenly, Lu Haoshan felt a sudden heart: Li Dingguo became a famous general, in addition to his own talent and hard work, someone was naturally inseparable from his teachings. So was Zhang Xianzhong or Li Nian, who was not astonishing as a famous general?

Lu Haoshan would rather believe the latter. If so, then he would make a lot of money this time, and he was simply the legendary pearl of the sea.

"It is also a good thing to be able to see more of the wonderful world outside in my lifetime. I'm right, my master." Lu Haoshan suddenly said with a smile.

With this experience and being a master, Lu Haoshan believed that this person was the one he had to wait for, and Lu Haoshan threw an olive branch to him.

Li Nian was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and respectfully saluted Lu Haoshan and said, "Students have met Dongweng."

From the late Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the master was usually a scholar who failed the exam, and he called himself a student for his masters with fame and reputation.

Lu Haoshan helped him up with his own hands and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, Mr. Li, you will be more troubled in the future."

"Li gave his all to his strength and would definitely not disappoint Dongweng."

"By the way, how do you know that I have so many things? And it's only been two days since you arrived in Jiangyou." Lu Haoshan asked a little strangely.

Li Nian just arrived in Jiangyou for two days. Not only did he peek at his military camp in Niutou Mountain, but he also found out that he had so many secrets. His methods were really not simple.

"This is simple," Li Nian said with a smile: "Although the students have only been here for two days, they have been with the people you sent on the way for more than ten days. Dongweng, you know that the journey is very lonely. Just chat on the road. The person named Zhao Jun is very enthusiastic. Sometimes he drinks too much and will inadvertently reveal a little information. After arriving in Jiangyou, as long as he goes to the teahouse and finds a person who likes to tell stories, he will always get the answer quickly. To summarize, there is a contour. The military camp in Niutou Mountain is not difficult. Now people send fodder to the military camp every day, and it is not difficult to spend a little money to ride a ride."

Han Yi, after a long time of trouble, it turned out that Zhao Jun had leaked the secret. Lu Haoshan was speechless all of a sudden. With Zhao Jun's shrewdness, Li Nian actually made so much information. It was really a little fox who had to suffer a loss when he met the old fox.

Lu Haoshan no longer explored this issue. The ancients were right. There is no airtight wall in the world. If you want others to know, don’t do it unless you do it yourself.

"Mr. Li, then according to your opinion, what will I do next?" Finally, there was a person who was discussing. Lu Haoshan felt very relaxed and began to seek scriptures from Li Nian.

Li Nian was not in a hurry to say it, but said carefully: "Dongweng, the student has just arrived in Jiangyou and is not very familiar with it. You should explain the situation here in detail. It is best to express the boss's ideas, so that the student can analyze it for the boss."

Not bad, he is realistic and does not rush to show himself. Lu Haoshan nodded secretly. If the kind of person who is eager to show himself without investigation is mostly the kind of person who talks loudly. Lu Haoshan also trusts Li Nian very much. In fact, even Li Nian knows that once he leaves Lu Haoshan, those who are waiting for him are either beheaded by the official family or die of assassination. Lu Haoshan also has the confidence to control him in his hands, so he told his plans all the time, including those who secretly fatten and do not get stuck in mud, and is ready to use them as his own account of continuing to stay in Jiangyou.

Of course, Lu Haoshan didn't say that his skills were fake and real. This was the trump card at the bottom of the box.

After pondering for a while, Li Nian shook his head and said, "Boss, you are wrong."

"Wrong? Where is it?"

Li Nian nodded and said, "A bucket can fill in the shortcomings, so it can naturally fill more. However, if a bucket is a small bucket, then there is not much filling a bucket. If you want to fill more, you have to change to a big bucket. Jiangyou only has tens of thousands of people. No matter how well it is managed and how perfect it is covered, it has its bottleneck. It is always difficult to grow even if it is focused on Jiangyou, a small place."

"This official naturally knows that he just has no choice but to do so for a while. Now I want to hear Mr. Li's opinion."

"It's very simple. Dongweng just changes his mindset and turns using the use of not being stuck here to gain this military merit, and then finds every means to transform from civil and military positions. As long as he is transferred to military positions and serves as a military officer, he can expand his army openly and enhance his strength, and then climb up step by step, waiting for an opportunity to control Sichuan, and then everything will be endless."
