The person in charge of the negotiations at that time was very surprised. He didn't know why Qian's opinion of the Zhao family was so strong that it actually developed to the point of hatred.
So the person in charge hurriedly asked, and after asking, he found out how ridiculous things the Zhao family had done during these days.
Everything was different from what Su Yonglin expected when he sent them here.
The Zhao family's mischief almost turned them into mortal enemies of quite a few people, and these people even wanted to eradicate the Zhao family...
So when the negotiations were successful, the people in charge of the negotiations unanimously sent people to tell Su Yonglin about the matter, so that Su Yonglin could have an understanding of the actual situation in the area currently controlled by Zhao Xiang.
Su Yonglin was quite surprised.
He didn't expect that in the short period of time he was preparing, the Liberation Army would be played like this by Zhao Xiang and the Zhao family. It seemed that even without his own intervention, the Zhao family group would not be proud for long.
Not to mention the common people at the bottom, as well as the big families who are landlords and gentry, they divide and rule them, and use all kinds of extortion to seek their own interests. Isn't this self-defeating from the world?
What about the foundation?
What is the foundation of their rule?
Why do they rule?
The common people don't want it, and neither do the landlords or gentry, they want it themselves.
Hey, why does this operation look familiar?
In a daze, Su Yonglin felt like he had seen this wave of operations somewhere. The people who had done such stupid things were obviously not only the Zhao Xiang Group.
It seems that the destruction of Zhao Xiang Group is just around the corner, and the drama of backdoor listing is over here.
The Liberation Army was originally named after Su Yonglin, who gave it a profound meaning - to expel the barbarians and regain China.
It's just that Su Yonglin was weak at the time and had to rely on Zhao Kaishan to gradually develop.
Now that things have come to this, it is time for the Liberation Army to return to its original track and do what it was originally supposed to do, instead of satisfying the selfish desires of a certain person or groups of people.
The road to the future and everything in the future must be in Su Yonglin's hands.
Su Yonglin then ordered the Tianxing Army and Tianxiong Army, which came down from the front line of Xiongzhou and Bazhou, to enter a state of combat readiness. They now began to advance from Hebei to Jinan Prefecture, and then temporarily stayed in Jinan Prefecture, waiting for further orders before advancing to Tai'an Prefecture.
These two armies will serve as Zhao Zuoliang's biggest backing, providing him with enough confidence to deter all those with bad intentions, and also lay the foundation for the subsequent liquidation of the Zhao Xiang Group.
But even without the advance of these two armies, Su Yonglin felt that no one would think that Zhao Zuoliang was not the one behind him.
As son-in-law and father-in-law, the interests of Zhao Zuoliang and Su Yonglin have been tied together. Zhao Zuoliang's future behavior will be Su Yonglin's instruction, and no one will understand.
Therefore, Zhao Zuoliang's actions are destined to go smoothly.
Not to mention the families whose interests have been harmed, even the families whose interests have not been harmed will still be frightened when faced with the Zhao Group's misdeeds.
The original foundation of the Zhao Group's rebellion was the local landlords and gentry. It was their support that led to the rise of the Zhao Group. It was this foundation that Zhao Kaishan worked hard to maintain.
If he hadn't realized this, how could Zhao Kaishan dig into his own pocket to compensate those people?
However, the actions of Zhao Xiang and others are now rapidly destroying this foundation, so much so that local forces can't wait to find a way out by seeking refuge with Su Yonglin.
While Su Yonglin's negotiation team was poaching around, Zhou Shaoning and Zhao Zuoliang also quietly sneaked into Yizhou and began to contact the generals of the Liberation Army.
No matter when it comes, the army is always the most powerful and important force. Those who can control the army are often the final winners. Leaders who cannot control the army are puppets, no matter how high their reputation is, they are still puppets.
Zhao Zuoliang still has some prestige among the Liberation Army. After all, he once led several armies to win battles as the deputy commander of the army, which left a deep impression on the generals and soldiers.
So the two of them planned to start with Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan.
Li Xiao, Chen Qiaoshan and Su Yonglin can be regarded as pen pals.
After Su Yonglin went north, they continued to exchange letters. They admired Su Yonglin's achievements and often asked him for advice on marching and combat issues, and Su Yonglin would also reply to them.
So Su Yonglin wrote two letters to Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan respectively, as "sharp blades" for Zhao Zuoliang and Zhou Shaoning.
It is not difficult to get in touch with Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan.
People in the Zhao Group only want to make money and gain benefits, and no one cares about Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan who cannot truly hold power.
As a minority among the top leaders, Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan only have high positions but no real power.
So Li Xiao often went out hunting because of his depression, while Chen Qiaoshan often hung out in taverns and brothels to kill time.
The two of them may not want to do something, but they are politically squeezed out by the Zhao Group and militarily suppressed by the Zhao Supervisory Army, making it difficult for them to make a difference. They can only express trivial resistance in this way.
This gave Zhao Zuoliang and Zhou Shaoning the opportunity to sneak in.
Li Xiao looked hesitant after reading Su Yonglin's handwritten letter.
"What Su Shuai said is indeed right. This situation should be changed now, but after all, I am deeply loved by the Zhao family. Is it really okay to do such a thing? Su Shuai will not think that I am disloyal. An unjust act?"
Zhou Shaoning smiled.
"Why does the general have such an idea? Let alone the importance of Zhao's kindness and the national justice, what does the personal kindness of Commander Zhao have to do with Zhao Xiang and others?
Is the general willing to obey the orders of a despicable villain like Zhao Xiang and do things that go against his own will? Even if they want to surrender to the golden thieves, will the general follow suit? That is not loyalty, that is foolish loyalty. "
Li Xiao let out a long sigh.
"Of course I understand this kind of thing, and of course I don't want to obey the orders of a despicable villain like Zhao Xiang, but..."
"What else is there to do?"
Zhou Shaoning shook his head and said: "If you continue to hesitate, the Liberation Army will be completely destroyed. General Li will not forget why the Liberation Army exists, right?
Could it be that the Liberation Army exists to seek personal gain and blackmail for these Zhao family members? Expelling the barbarians and recovering China is the meaning of the existence of the Liberation Army. "
Li Xiao didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Zhao Zuoliang.
"Is that how you view this matter as well?"
Zhao Zuoliang nodded.
"The situation cannot continue to deteriorate like this, otherwise, the Zhao family is the real danger, and the Zhao family will die without a burial place."
Li Xiao lowered his head again, seemingly still hesitant.
Zhou Shaoning continued to persuade.
"Taking a step back, Zhao Xiang is suspected of tampering with the will of his former commander Zhao Kaishan and puts Zhao Yucheng under house arrest. Isn't this an act of betrayal? Is General Li really willing to watch all this and not do anything? "
"Of course I don't want to be inactive."
Li Xiao clenched his fists: "If the time is right and something can be done... I am willing to do something."
"That's the smart thing to do."
Zhou Shaoning was very happy.
After confirming the intention to cooperate, Li Xiao seemed to notice something again. He looked at Zhao Zuoliang and slowly said: "Mr. Zhao, there is one more thing I am confused about. I wonder if Mr. Zhao can tell the truth?"
"you say."
Zhao Zuoliang nodded.
"If we succeed in capturing Zhao Xiang, who will the Liberation Army be headed in the future? Whose orders will they follow?"
Li Xiao's questions were very targeted and direct, which is Zhao Zuoliang's favorite way of asking questions.
So Zhao Zuoliang gave him a clear answer.
"Yuting's intention is for me to be the commander in chief and lead the Liberation Army."
"In other words, it is actually Commander Su who leads the Liberation Army as the real leader?"
"Yes."
Li Xiao lowered his head and stopped talking.
After a while, Zhou Shaoning decided to say something.
"This sounds a bit direct, but General Li should know that with the general trend of the world in front of him, who is the one who can lead the Liberation Army to overthrow Jin Ting and lead to victory? Isn't it something that can be understood at a glance?
General Li, let me put it bluntly, whether it is Commander Zhao, Zhao Yucheng or Zhao Xiang, who among them can compare with Commander Su? Commander Su is the hope of the Liberation Army and the only one who can lead us to overthrow Jin Ting. Doesn’t General Li think so? "
Li Xiao kept silent, weighing the pros and cons silently in his mind, and thought a lot about his past dealings with Su Yonglin, and had to admit in his heart that Su Yonglin's abilities far exceeded those of the Zhao family.
Not to mention Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yucheng, even Zhao Kaishan's previous behavior of shirking the blame in order to quell the civil unrest really chilled many people who followed him.
Including Li Xiao, many people who originally followed Zhao Kaishan did so because they thought he was bold and a hero, and only by fighting with such a hero would they have a future.
But they didn't expect that as time went by, the number of Zhao Kaishan's troops would increase, but his heroic spirit would become less and less visible.
Is this kind of Zhao Kaishan and this kind of Zhao family really worthy of him continuing to follow?
Li Xiao was silent for a long time and finally made up his mind.
It’s time to change careers and find a path to continue on.
Following the Zhao family might just lead to a dead end.
So he sighed.
"Commander Su is right. I can't just watch the Liberation Army being tortured by them, but what should I do? The Zhao family still holds the most military power, and there are supervisors in the army. According to the rules , I cannot bypass the supervisory army and mobilize troops alone..."
Zhou Shaoning smiled.
"General Lee can rest assured that we have some plans and are taking action."
Then, Zhou Shaoning told Li Xiao about Su Yonglin's plan and asked Li Xiao for help to make this matter more beautiful.
Li Xiao looked at Zhao Zuoliang one last time, and seeing Zhao Zuoliang nodding, Li Xiao also nodded in agreement.
Joined.
Subsequently, the action of persuading Chen Qiaoshan went very smoothly.
Chen Qiaoshan is wiser and better at finding a job than Li Xiao. He hides in the brothel because he is more worried about being killed, so he simply pretends to be degenerate and drinks and has fun with women to show his harmlessness and use this environment to protect himself.
But from this moment on, he no longer had to pretend to be depraved.
After thinking about it for a while, he basically decided to join Su Yonglin's camp without any worries and follow Su Yonglin to continue the anti-gold campaign.
Anyway, the person they wanted to help was Zhao Zuoliang in name. No matter how much outsiders said, Potian could not get around this obstacle.
Zhao Xiang and his gang are more likely to fail than succeed. If they continue to tolerate it, they may explode on the spot without the help of the Jin Man.
When things have reached this point, the situation has become very clear, and the balance of power between the two sides has become very clear.
Su Yonglin had won over all the local forces in Zhao Kaishan's ruling area through diplomatic means. They completely gave up following and fantasizing about the Zhao family, and instead fell into the arms of Su Yonglin.
These peripheral forces surrounding the Liberation Army have been won over by Su Yonglin, the external conditions have been met, and the Zhao Group has completely lost their ruling foundation.
Of course, they haven't discovered this in a short period of time.
They are still living and drinking and playing power, but they have never noticed the changes happening in the outside world, nor have they noticed that the sky is about to change.
Zhao Zuoliang, Li Xiao, Chen Qiaoshan, and Zhou Shaoning formed an action team to plan their subsequent actions.
They found out that Zhao Xiang's birthday would be in a few days. At that time, Zhao Xiang would invite all the prominent figures in the Zhao Group to have dinner and drink together to celebrate his birthday. At that time, it would be a great opportunity for them all to get together.
Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan need to go hunting and drink flower wine as usual. Anyway, they will not attend Zhao Xiang's birthday party, but wait outside.
When the time comes, Zhou Shaoning will take the armed forces entrusted to him by Su Yonglin to raid Zhao Xiang's mansion and try to capture them all.
Zhao Zuoliang needs to take Chen Qiaoshan and Li Xiao to use their prestige and influence to win over the army and win their cooperation and obedience while the supervisors are away.
Strive to seize the majority of the military power without bloodshed, so that as many troops as possible among the nine main forces of the Liberation Army will not obstruct this mutiny, but will side with Su Yonglin.
Then Zhou Shaoning was responsible for catching all the trash like Zhao Xiang, working together internally and externally to subvert the Zhao Xiang Group.
Then, it was time for Zhao Zuoliang to perform on stage.
On behalf of Su Yonglin, he will execute Zhao Xiang and other idiots who have done evil and attracted too much hatred from most people, in exchange for the basic safety of the remaining members of the Zhao family.
From now on, the Zhao family will give up the leadership of the Liberation Army and hand it over to Su Yonglin. Su Yonglin will decide the direction of the Liberation Army in the future, changing the position of host and guest.
The person who can really lead everyone to the bright road is Su Yonglin, not Zhao!
Su Yonglin was sharpening his knife and even put the knife on the necks of Zhao Xiang and others.
However, this group of people was still immersed in the joy of taking control of power and exercising it arbitrarily, and the little energy they had was spent on preparing for Zhao Xiang's birthday in a few days.
Then play music, then dance!
