Looking at Ye Pengchao walking quickly in the study room of the General Soldier's Mansion in Hanyang, Li Zhengyong didn't even have the intention of getting up to greet him. He just picked up the teacup and took a sip with a calm expression... ··········
Seeing this, Ye Pengchao's eyes flashed with anger, but he did not show any anger and still bowed and said:
"Your Majesty Ye Pengchao, I have met Mr. Li!"
Seeing Ye Pengchao bowing to him and calling himself a lower official, Li Zhengyong felt as if he was eating hot pot on a cold day, feeling very happy and proud!
He always believed that the Hanyang Incident was successful because it was his surname Li who led the uprising that laid the foundation for victory. Therefore, he, Li Zhengyong, was the one who made the greatest contribution!
In the end, Duan Zhibao, who was hiding in Tanzhou, picked up the peach and became Tongzhi, the commander of the Fifth Army!
Although the Fengwu Army finally gave him a lot of goods and gave him the title of General Soldier of Hanyang, Li Zhengyong still felt unbalanced in his heart!
After much thought, he felt that the reason why he had not competed with Duan Zhibao and lost the title of Comrade Commander was because Ye Pengchao was obstructing him!
Ye Pengchao has a better relationship with Duan Zhibao. The two of them have very close contacts, and Ye Pengchao may even have taken money from Duan Zhibao!
Therefore, under Ye Pengchao's persuasion, Duan Zhibao took the cake and took away his own position as commander of the Fifth Army!
Although there is no evidence to prove what Li Zhengyong thinks, Li Zhengyong firmly believes in his own judgment, so while he is jealous of Duan Zhibao, he also hates Ye Pengchao... ············
In the subsequent conflict with Zhang Shengli, facing the uncompromising Zhang Shengli, Li Zhengyong, as the commander-in-chief, was somewhat unable to step down.
Li Zhengyong originally wanted to ask Ye Pengchao to make peace and ask Zhang Shengli to bring out some firecrackers. In this way, Li Zhengyong's face was saved!
But what Li Zhengyong never expected was that Ye Pengchao would not give him any face at all, and directly said that he could not interfere in military affairs, which would directly make him lose face.
In the end, the matter went to nothing. Li Zhengyong, who did not get a fire gun from Zhang Shengli, was also ruined. Li Zhengyong also secretly hated Ye Pengchao in his heart. Zhang Shengli secretly vowed to settle accounts with these people sooner or later!
Although he wanted to settle accounts with these people who bullied him, Li Zhengyong also knew in his heart at that time that Jing Chu was already under the control of Fengwu Army.
Although he is now the commander-in-chief of Hanyang and the commander of the Fifth Army, his status in the eyes of the Fengwu Army is not high. Although Ye Pengchao's official position is not high now, he is already the fifth-rank deputy envoy of the Jingchu Administrative Division.
Combined with his identity as a member of the Ye clan, it is no exaggeration to say that Ye Pengchao's future prospects are limitless, so there is not much hope that he, Li, will settle the score with Ye Pengchao!
However, what Li Zhengyong never expected was that not long after this, the Zhennan Army went berserk again and directly killed the main force of Tanzhou's Fifth Army. Even that bastard Duan Zhibao was still alive and dead... ·······················
To be honest, when the Qianhu Guard's envoy found him last night and told him the news, Li Zhengyong still couldn't believe it.
Although the relationship between Li Zhengyong and Duan Zhibao is somewhat awkward because of their position as commander of the Fifth Army, the two have worked together for many years, and Li Zhengyong still knows Duan Zhibao's capabilities. In addition, the Fifth Army's strength in Tanzhou's front line is advantageous!
So Li Zhengyong was a little confused, how could Duan Zhibao suffer such a disastrous defeat?
Therefore, when he first heard the news, Li Zhengyong thought that the other party was deceiving him and wanted to capture these people and hand them over to the Coordination Office.
It wasn't until the other party brought out some seized Duan Zhibao seals that Li Zhengyong was a little skeptical. It wasn't until the news of Xiaowushan's defeat came back today that he completely believed that Duan Zhibao led the main force of the Fifth Army to suffer a big defeat in Xiaowushan!
Although Li Zhengyong knew very well that Duan Zhibao's defeat in Xiaowushan,
It will completely ruin the good situation of Fengwu Army in Jingchu, and the situation in Jingchu will take a turn for the worse, and even Hanyang will be at certain risks!
This was not good news for him who had surrendered to the Fengwu Army, but for some reason, Li Zhengyong felt happy when he heard the news and felt that a great revenge had been avenged!
At this time, the envoy of Qianhu Guard once again offered him a price on behalf of the Zhennan Army. As long as he betrayed the Fengwu Army and surrendered to the Zhennan Army, Xu Zhaojie would hand over Jingchu to him and let him be the leader of Jingchu. Governor, control the entire territory of Jingchu and become a prince...
I have to say that the price offered by Zhennan Army is still tempting. Li Zhengyong would be lying if he said he was not tempted!
However, although Li Zhengyong was very tempted, he was not completely carried away, and he still knew how much he weighed!
First of all, Li Zhengyong knew very well that although the Zhennan Army won the battle at Xiaowushan and took the initiative in the local battlefield in Jingchu, looking at the overall situation, the Fengwu Army still had a great advantage!
And if you accept Xu Zhaojie's idea, even if you can capture Hanyang, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to destroying the Fengwu Army!
When the Fengwu Army counterattacks and makes a comeback, they will never let him go!
In addition, Xu Zhaojie also has a bad reputation. He conspired against Cao Changping and Feng Keqin, and stabbed Lu Jianchao in the back. These "glorious deeds" have made him famous all over the world!
Therefore, despite the price offered by Xu Zhaojie, Li Zhengyong was very tempted by the promise of leaving Jingchu to him and making him a prince.
But to be honest, Li Zhengyong didn't dare to completely believe Xu Zhaojie. After all, there were too many lessons learned from this kind of thing!
After thinking about it, Li Zhengyong felt that he should not be anxious now. In order to maximize his own interests, he should wait for the wind to blow for a while and then take a look at the situation!
If the Fengwu Army can quickly stabilize and support Jingchu, then he, Mr. Li, will continue to be a loyal minister of the Fengwu Army, use this matter to show his loyalty to the Fengwu Army, and strive to replace Duan Zhibao, the unlucky guy, and sit directly on the The position of the commander of the Fifth Army······························
However, if the Fengwu Army does not react and the Zhennan Army gets out of hand again, then Li, someone like him, might be able to stand on his own.
Li Zhengyong, who had made up his mind at this time, looked at Ye Pengchao and said calmly:
"I believe you have heard about the defeat on the front line, Mr. Ye. As the commander-in-chief of the Hanyang Army, I am busy with official duties. Mr. Ye, if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I still have a lot of things to deal with here, and there will be no time delay. No!"
Looking at Li Zhengyong's carefree appearance, Ye Pengchao could not detect the word "busy with business" at all, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still said patiently:
"Commander Li, I think it will be difficult for the enemy's army to hold out in Datanzhou for too long. The enemy's army will soon be approaching the city!"
"At this time, the city should be under martial law to recruit young people in the city, and soldiers should be sent to the major markets in the city to maintain stability and order in the city!"
Before Ye Pengchao finished speaking, he was interrupted by a cold snort from Li Zhengyong. The Hanyang general soldier said with a hint of disdain:
"Young Master Ye Pengchao is being alarmist here. I am the commander-in-chief of Hanyang and I have the final say on military matters. It is not your turn, Ye Pengchao, to dictate!"
"Don't say that your boy is just a deputy inspector now. Even if your inspector Liang Xin comes, he wouldn't dare to talk to me like that!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhengyong picked up the tea cup and took another sip. It was obvious that he wanted to serve tea as a farewell to the guests and did not want to beep with Ye Pengchao... ······
Looking at the arrogant Li Zhengyong, Ye Pengchao knew that this guy thought that after Duan Zhibao's defeat, Jingchu would point his finger at him, and the Zhennan Army offered a price to recruit him, so he felt that he was capable again, so he did it now. So presumptuous!
Thinking of this, Ye Pengchao's anger could no longer be intensified and he said coldly:
"May I ask who Mr. Li has seen in the past two days?"
When these words came out, Li Zhengyong, who was originally very proud, was suddenly shocked. He didn't know what Ye Pengchao knew.
However, under Ye Pengchao's gaze, in order to cover up his guilty conscience, Li Zhengyong pretended to be furious, picked up the teacup, smashed it over and yelled loudly:
"Ye Pengchao, who do you think you are? You dare to investigate me?"
"Now the enemy troops are pressing down on the territory, and the whole Hanyang is in a state of war. I am the commander-in-chief of Hanyang, and I am the boss of the city. Everyone must obey my orders. Believe it or not, I will kill him now for obstructing official duties." Your head?"
Faced with Li Zhengyong's death threat, Ye Pengchao, who felt that he had the Fengwu Army and the general as his backer, was not intimidated at all.
Facing Li Zhengyong's gaze, Ye Pengchao cupped his hands in the direction of Yi Jing and said in a deep voice:
"People are doing it, but God is watching! The commander-in-chief will never let any guilty person go!"
Li Zhengyong became even more furious when he said this, but Ye Pengchao didn't want to argue with him anymore, so he turned around and left Li Zhengyong's study... ·····
After a stick of incense, Ye Pengchao returned to his mansion. At this time, in addition to Huang Dale, Hanyang deputy commander Zhang Shengli also quietly came to his mansion.
Seeing Ye Pengchao return to his house, Zhang Shengli, a martial artist, couldn't hide anything in his heart and immediately asked:
"Master Ye, what do you think Mr. Li said?"
Although Huang Dale on the side was not as anxious as Zhang Shengli, his eyes were also looking at Ye Pengchao. Obviously he also wanted to know what Li Zhengyong was thinking!
Under the gaze of the two men, Ye Pengchao did not answer immediately but fell into silence. Just when Zhang Shengli and Huang Dale were getting more and more anxious, Ye Pengchao slowly spoke:
"You two, let's do it tonight!"
As soon as Ye Pengchao said these words, Zhang Shengli and Huang Dale couldn't help but look at each other. After learning that Qian Huwei had been in contact with Li Zhengyong, Ye Pengchao immediately wanted to kill Li Zhengyong, but was persuaded by Huang Dale!
Huang Dale later called Zhang Shengli again. After discussion, the three of them reached a consensus that Ye Pengchao should talk to Li Zhengyong to see what Li Zhengyong's attitude was. If Li Zhengyong had already turned to the Zhennan Army, then Zhang Shengli would send troops to kill Li Zhengyong tonight. Control the entire Hanyang City·························
Seeing Ye Pengchao once again bring up the idea of killing Li Zhengyong, Zhang Shengli couldn't help but ask:
"Has Li Zhengyong really decided to rebel?"
Faced with Zhang Shengli's inquiry, Ye Pengchao hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth;
"Judging from the current situation, he has not decided to rebel, but I think he is waiting for a price. As long as the opportunity is right, he will definitely become a slave of the third surname!"
Hearing what Ye Pengchao said, Zhang Shengli frowned and stopped talking, while Huang Dale on the side persuaded:
"Sir, I think as long as Li Zhengyong doesn't really rebel, I think there is still room for change in this matter!"
"Li Zhengyong is the commander-in-chief of Hanyang after all. He has more than 10,000 men in the city. Killing him so rashly is really disturbing!"
Ye Pengchao ignored Huang Dale, but looked at Zhang Shengli aside and said:
"General Zhang Li Zhengyong is a domestic slave with a third surname. As long as Xu Zhaojie's overweight is appropriate, he will never mind selling us all to Xu Zhaojie!"
"Don't worry about putting your life, mine, and the lives of thousands of your brothers in the hands of such a person... ····》
Hearing what Ye Pengchao said, Zhang Shengli's frown undoubtedly deepened. Seeing the change in Zhang Shengli's expression, Ye Pengchao immediately knew that there was something going on and immediately encouraged him again:
"Zhang Zongbing, our lives are small! But Hanyang is related to my commander-in-chief's great cause of unifying the world. Once Hanyang is lost, the whole world will be shaken. It will be too difficult for our army to get Hanyang back!"
"Although Li Zhengyong is not rebellious now, he shows signs of rebellion.
There may be rebellion at any time. We cannot put our lives and the great cause of the commander in the hands of such people. We must control our own destiny! "
"General Zhang, even a three-year-old child understands the principle of striking first to gain advantage and then striking to suffer disaster!"
Under Ye Pengchao's encouragement, Zhang Shengli gritted his teeth, raised his head, looked at Ye Pengchao and asked:
"Kill Li Zhengyong, what will happen to his subordinates?"
After hearing this, Ye Pengchao preached confidently:
"We must not spare any of Li Zhengyong's trusted subordinates! We must eradicate them. We would rather kill them by mistake than let them go!"
"After killing Li Zhengyong, we can just blame him for the lack of pay. We can tell the entire army that the reason for the lack of pay is because of Li Zhengyong's corruption, and blame all this on Li Zhengyong!"
"Then we will take the silver we took from Li Zhengyong's house and distribute it to the soldiers. The soldiers below will definitely not be suspicious, and the morale of the army will even be boosted... ············》
