After listening to Comrade Li Er's words, Zhang Nan handed Comrade Li Er an expression of reassurance that everything has me, and then he said: "The emperor's meaning is presumably the general, and you have already understood it. ”

Zhang Nan originally wanted to call Jieli's name directly, but after thinking about it, although he is also the grandfather of the country now, Jieli's age is also older after all, and it seems that only Comrade Li Er can do this by calling his name directly, so Zhang Nan still called Jieli a general.

After all, he is still the right guard general of the Tang Dynasty.

Jie Li nodded, although he had only seen Zhang Nan a few times, but he had already remembered Zhang Nan's appearance deeply in his head, thinking about the celebration banquet when he was just caught in Datang.

Zhang Nan is just a marquis, but now Zhang Nan is already a noble prince, although Jieli does not know about the promotion of the Tang Dynasty, but Jieli knows that no one can be promoted to the title so quickly.

"Then I'll tell you what the general should say after you go to the grassland, as long as the general does it according to this method, there will be absolutely no problem." Zhang Nan said.

"Oh." Jie Li responded.

"First of all, after arriving on the steppe, the general needs to find a safe place first, and it is best to gather a Turkic escort to ensure your safety as much as possible." Zhang Nan said.

Jieli's safety must be the most important thing, after all, Zhang Nan also pointed to him to cause trouble for the big cannibals, and those big cannibals are not vegetarians, if they really top Jieli, it will be a bad dish.

"It's simple, I think it's still very simple for me to find a few people to protect me after I return to the grassland." Jie Li nodded, for this, Jie Li is still very confident.

"Because this operation is confidential, it can't be related to Datang, so the general can only ask for more blessings, even if it is discovered, the general will not get Datang's support, and the general can only rely on his two legs to escape to Datang." Zhang Nan continued.

Jie Li nodded again, for this, Jie Li also had psychological preparation, although Comrade Li Er said that he would let him go back to the grassland, but he knew that after going back, if he did it completely according to Comrade Li Er's requirements, it would not take long to attract the attention of the big cannibal.

He didn't expect Datang to help him, after all, Li Er said very clearly, Datang wanted to dissociate himself from this matter, which meant that he could only rely on himself.

"Now I have two ways for the general to choose, both of which can cause trouble for the big cannibal, it depends on which one the general wants to choose." Zhang Nan originally had only one idea, but when Comrade Li Er was talking to Jie Li, he suddenly thought of the second method, and the second method was a little safer.

Whether it's for Jieli or Datang.

"Oh? Isn't there only one way to clear the spring? Li Er asked strangely.

"If you go back to the emperor, this second method of the minister is also a temporary idea." Zhang Nan replied.

Li Er waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Nan to hurry up and continue.

"The minister continued, this first one, that is, the one that the minister proposed at the beginning, using the head of the big cannibal in exchange for food, the disadvantage of this is that it is easy to find out the general's head, after all, in this way, the power to harass the big cannibal is mixed, and a large part of it may not have any combat effectiveness at all, it is completely for a bite to eat, and if it is caught, it is easy to leak the news."

After Zhang Nan finished speaking, Jie Li and Li Er nodded in unison.

If you do this, the person who came here to change the head of the person will not know the details at all, and if it is a game set up by the big cannibals, then he will not even be able to run.

And if the scheming of the big cannibal is a little deeper, he will be able to touch Datang's body along the vine, after all, it is impossible for Jieli to carry so much food with him.

"Then let's talk about the second method, let you say that, I also think that this first method is a little inappropriate." Li Er frowned and said.

"The second method is simpler, we can set up a mercenary company." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Mercenary companies?" Li Er and Jie Li said in unison.

"Yes, that's right, it's a mercenary company." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he saw the puzzled look on Li Er and Jie Li's faces, and then Zhang Nan explained: "The so-called mercenaries, as the name suggests, are people who participate in an armed conflict for the sake of profit. The mercenary fights only for a monetary reward, and he can be hired by anyone as long as the other party bids high enough. ”

"This ......" Li Er listened to Zhang Nan's explanation, and he was also speechless for a while.

"So what's the benefit?" Li Er asked puzzled.

"The benefits? That is absolute loyalty, it will not leak the rumors, and it can cause a lot of trouble to the big food, after all, if this method is implemented, the people who can be mercenaries must pass through layers of screening, and they have to go through a series of studies before they can become a qualified warrior, so to speak, what comes out of there is just a simple killing machine. Zhang Nan spread his hands and said.

Li Er also gasped after hearing this, this method is tantamount to cultivating an army, but the most terrifying thing is that this army does not obey the command of anyone except Jieli, isn't this equivalent to cultivating an army for Jieli?

Li Er immediately shook his head and denied Zhang Nan's statement.

"This, the emperor, don't you want to?" Zhang Nan looked at Li Er a little strangely, Zhang Nan thought that Li Er would agree to this idea, after all, he had already built the idea of how to control this mercenary company, but Li Er rejected the idea.

"Then since the emperor is unwilling, then let's use the first method." Zhang Nan said helplessly, Zhang Nan actually likes his idea very much.

After all, in modern times, the word mercenary is too far away from Zhang Nan, let alone meeting, Zhang Nan can only learn about this organization through film and television works.

It is like the more famous American "Blackwater" company in later generations, which was formed by several retired soldiers of the US Navy special forces "Navy SEALs", and such a company still has a very good reputation.

What Zhang Nan wanted to do was to reproduce a "Blackwater" company here, but helplessly, Comrade Li Er was not happy.

Since Comrade Li Er is not happy, even if Zhang Nan thinks that no matter how good this method is, it is only a flash in the pan and cannot be realized at all.

Then Zhang Nan had a headache, how can he achieve the best of both worlds? It can not only ensure combat effectiveness, but also reassure Comrade Li Er.
