Since He Yu was kidnapped by gangsters, Ximen Sheng also had his own thoughts.
For example, Ximen Sheng paid special attention to the opening of mutual markets in Liaoyang, Shenyang, and Fushun. He also considered how to maximize the benefits once He Yu was killed. There was even a competition for the Liaodong garrison. The thought of the position of commander-in-chief.
But objectively speaking, anyone can have such selfish thoughts, and most of the time, Ximen Sheng considers He Yu wholeheartedly, not only rescuing He Yu without any reservation, but also to safeguard He Yu's power and power. status, once offended three other generals at the same time.
It can be said that Ximen Sheng is completely worthy of He Yu, a sworn brother, and also worthy of his brotherly loyalty.
Therefore, when Ximen Sheng saw the contents of the secret letter, he found that He Yu was only suspicious of himself, fearful of himself, and trying to balance himself. It was like a blow to the head and a shower of ice water, which was very heart-breaking.
This emotion filled Ximen Sheng's heart, so much so that Ximen Sheng just wanted to get away from here as soon as possible and no longer wanted to care about He Yu's affairs.
Therefore, after hearing Lu Shiwen's answer, Ximen Sheng just sighed, and then closed his eyes in silence, no longer paying attention to the reactions of the other people, and had no intention of turning the situation around.
At the same time, the three generals Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu Zha all had subtle expressions and kept communicating with each other with their eyes; Shi Cheng still had a look of disbelief on his face, constantly thinking about various possibilities; Li Shijie's expression changed. He kept on, as if he was hesitating about something.
In this way, everyone remained silent, and the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence for a time.
At this time, it was still Jiang Quan, a hundred households of the Forbidden Army, who took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
Jiang Quan walked up to several senior military attachés in Liaodong Town and asked, "I don't know, but what exactly is written in this secret letter from General He? Can I let the humble official take a look at it?"
This time, everyone in Liaodong Town was united and firmly rejected Jiang Quan's request.
Li Zehe put the cloth in his arms and said slowly, neither softly nor hardly: "In this secret letter, the Commander-in-Chief did indeed explain some things, but these things are all domestic affairs within our Liaodong Town. , I won’t worry about you Imperial Army anymore!”
Later, Gan Cheng directly spoke to chase people away, saying in a cold voice: "This Forbidden Army Hundred Households, we people still have things to discuss, and they are all Liaodong secrets. You are not qualified to continue to listen... So, you You can leave now.”
At the same time, Xu Zha, Shi Cheng, Li Shijie and others also looked at Jiang Quan coldly, with no concealment of rejection.
Jiang Quan was asking for trouble and was unable to argue with everyone in Liaodong Town. He could only sneer and say with an awkward expression: "In this case, I will not disturb everyone's discussion of household affairs in Liaodong Town and will leave now... However, if Everyone has received news about Zhao Gechen, or there may be another rescue plan. I hope you will inform Beizhi as soon as possible, so that Beizhi and the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army can also contribute."
After saying that, Jiang Quan bowed his hands and left quickly under the cold gaze of everyone in Liaodong Town.
Because Jiang Quan broke the silence, the previous awkward atmosphere was slightly relieved.
After Li Zehe and the other two generals looked at each other again, they took out the secret letter again, pretended to be business-like and had no personal thoughts, and said solemnly: "The Commander-in-Chief is really worthy of being a famous general in the world. It is said that they can actually establish contact with us under such circumstances... And now, since the Commander-in-Chief has given a clear explanation, we will naturally go all out to complete the mission!"
Xu Zha nodded repeatedly, with the same look of shrewd and capable service, and said: "The Commander-in-Chief asked us to choose a suitable location outside the dense forest to light the smoke every evening, obviously to point out the direction and prevent him from escaping. He lost his way in the dense forest, which shows that the commander-in-chief may have thought of a way to save himself...
This is a great thing. It means that the Lord Commander's waist injury is most likely fake. God really bless Lord Commander... and we must try our best to cooperate with the Commander-in-Chief! "
Gancheng said loudly: "When I inspected the outskirts of the dense forest, I have discovered several suitable locations. We must screen them immediately and choose the best location...
At the same time, several teams of people must be organized to be ready to enter the dense forest to meet the Commander-in-Chief... not only to meet the Commander-in-Chief, but also to take advantage of the situation to catch all those hateful bandits..."
Li Zehe added: "There is also the matter of investigating the identity of the gangsters. The Commander-in-Chief has provided us with a lot of key information, and the next investigation has a clear direction... I think this matter should be left to the West Road garrison. It is more appropriate to take charge. They have been stationed in various places in western Liaoning for a long time and have a better understanding of the situation of farmers in the defense area..."
While Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu Ya were expressing their opinions and working together, Ximen Sheng kept his eyes closed from beginning to end, showing no intention of offering any advice or suggestions.
And Li Zehe and others also had no intention of dragging Ximen Sheng into discussions. The three of them were all veteran generals in the border army, and they were all capable and knowledgeable. With just a few words from you and me, it soon became... A series of detailed plans were formulated based on the contents of He Yu's secret message.
After agreeing on all the plans related to the rescue and investigation, Gan Cheng was the first to jump out and mentioned the really important thing.
I saw Gan Cheng first secretly glanced at Ximen Sheng not far away, but then pretended that he just thought of it temporarily, and said: "Oh, by the way, the commander-in-chief also told us something, that is, let us It is necessary to ensure the internal stability of Liaodong Town and decide everything together..."
When it came to the words "jointly decided", Gan Cheng deliberately emphasized his tone.
Xu Jia also echoed: "The request of the General Soldier is very reasonable. In such a special period, we must advance together and retreat together, and unite as one! From now on, it will be up to us, the four generals... ...Oh, we also need to add General Xilu Huangshen who is in bed to recuperate...there are five people in total, and we will discuss all future matters together!"
Li Zehe added: "If there are different opinions, they must be discussed and voted openly to build consensus to the greatest extent, and then all decisions can be made jointly based on the principle of the minority obeying the majority! What do you think?"
If Zhao Junchen heard Li Zehe's words like "open voting," "building consensus," and "the minority obeys the majority," he would definitely feel weird.
Then, Li Zehe turned his head and glanced at Shi Cheng and Li Shijie, who were both silent not far away, and added: "Also, when making decisions, it might be better to add Shi Qianhu and Li Qianhu to the decision-making process." Although their official ranks are not high, they are also the actual commanders of the Liaodong cavalry. Li Qianhu is also a direct descendant of the general Li family, which can be said to be very important, so we should also let them participate in the decision-making. "
Hearing Li Zehe's proposal, Gan Cheng and Xu Zha were stunned for a moment, and then quickly figured out Li Zehe's true intention!
Certain thoughts, once they arise in the mind, can no longer be eliminated.
Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu Jia, after being secretly catalyzed by Zhao Junchen, are now coveting the position of the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town.
Under the current circumstances, He Yu's future life and death fate is still a matter full of suspense.
Whether it is He Yu's self-rescue idea or Liaodong Town's rescue plan, variables may occur during actual execution.
Therefore, the position of Liaodong Guards General may be vacant at any time, so Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu Jia still have not given up their ambitions.
Perhaps, they are still secretly looking forward to the situation where the kidnappers will tear up the votes.
Once He Yu dies unexpectedly, then Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu Jia will inevitably compete fiercely for the position of commander-in-chief.
Under such circumstances, whoever can win the support of Shi Cheng and Li Shijie is equivalent to gaining the support of the Liaodong cavalry and the general Li family, which will naturally increase their chances of winning.
Therefore, Li Zehe proposed that Shi Cheng and Li Shijie also have the right to vote on decision-making. Naturally, it was to show his goodwill to Shi and Li.
After understanding this, both Gan Cheng and Xu Zha secretly scolded Li Zehe for being despicable and cunning.
But the next moment, they all expressed their agreement.
I heard Gan Cheng loudly say: "I have the same view, and I was about to raise it when I didn't expect General Li to speak first... Although Shi and Li Qianhu are still young and have a slightly lower official rank, But both ability and loyalty are the best choices, and they should indeed take on more responsibilities. We must give them more opportunities and let them do their own thing, otherwise it will be a waste!"
Xu Jie looked at Shi Cheng and Li Shijie with an expression of appreciation, nodded and said: "Li Qianhu and Shi Qianhu are both outstanding leaders of the younger generation in Liaodong Town. Sooner or later, the heavy responsibilities of Liaodong Town will be handed over to them. People should be entrusted with more important responsibilities! It is indeed a good thing to let the two of them participate in subsequent decisions!"
Li Zehe turned his eyes to Shi Cheng and Li Shijie and asked: "Shi Qianhu, Li Qianhu, what do you two think? Do you want to work together with us to jointly preside over the overall situation?"
After Shi Cheng hesitated for a moment, he still thought that he should not give up this opportunity. After he entered the decision-making circle, he would have the opportunity to play a positive role, so he handed over his hand and said: "Since several senior generals have elevated their humble positions like this, Of course, a humble position means taking responsibility and working hard!”
Later, Li Shijie also nodded and said: "Since all the seniors think highly of the juniors, the juniors will definitely give their full assistance to the seniors."
As he spoke, Li Shijie actually abandoned his military titles and called several generals seniors, and also called himself juniors... This obviously implied that he was not only expressing his position on behalf of himself, but also on behalf of the general Li family.
In this way, after seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Li Zehe nodded again and said: "In that case, from now on, until the commander-in-chief escapes smoothly, all matters and decisions in Liaodong Town must go through the West Gate of the North Road, General Counselor , General Xu from the South Road, General Gan from the East Road, General Huang from the West Road, myself, Li Qianhu and Shi Qianhu, a total of seven people can make the decision through joint discussion. No one can act without authorization..."
After saying that, Li Zehe finally remembered Ximen Sheng, who had been silent all this time, and turned to Ximen Sheng and asked: "General Ximen, everyone thinks this way, what do you think?"
Under the attention of everyone, Ximen Sheng's expression did not change at all, just like a wood carving. He just opened his eyes and looked around the crowd, then said in a voice without any fluctuation in tone: "Since it is Mr. He's intention , then let’s do it like this!”
After saying that, Ximen Sheng turned around and walked towards the distance.
Seeing Ximen Sheng leaving, Shi Cheng's expression changed, he quickly said goodbye to everyone, and then hurriedly chased after Ximen Sheng.
But except for Shi Cheng, the others had no intention of pursuing him. They could only faintly hear Shi Cheng's anxious persuasion after he chased Ximen Sheng.
"General Ximen... I still believe that there is something fishy about this matter from beginning to end. I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. You must not..."
After Ximen Sheng and Shi Cheng gradually walked away, Li Zehe suddenly sighed and said: "It is normal for General Ximen to have emotions in his heart, but the top priority right now is to do all he can to rescue the commander-in-chief and Zhao Gechen. , instead of deliberately taking care of General Ximen’s temperament...Shi Qianhu is still young and lacks some overall perspective!"
Xu Jia nodded and said: "It is true that more experience is needed... In comparison, Li Qianhu is more concerned about the overall situation."
Gan Cheng also said: "Well, I also think Li Qianhu is more stable and has better certainty in his work. It's really rare!"
Hearing the continuous praise from these three generals, Li Shijie's eyes flashed and he said softly: "Speaking of which, this junior has an important matter in mind. After much thought, I can't make up my mind. I hope to listen to the opinions of the three seniors! "
