According to Zhao Junchen's proposal, the new commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town should be selected from the various generals in Liaodong Town.
There are five generals in Liaodong Town, namely, the middle road general Li Zehe, the east road general Gancheng, the south road general Xu He, the west road general Huang Shenming, and the north road general Ximen Sheng.
But in the eyes of Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu He, Ximen Sheng and Huang Shenming had no chance at all.
Ximen Sheng was not present at this time. In all likelihood, he had become a prisoner of Wu Yingxiong's subordinates. Naturally, he had no chance to participate in the competition. Huang Shenming, however, was limited by his lack of strength and low reputation, so he also had no chance.
.
Therefore, the new commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town can actually only choose among Li Zehe, Gancheng, and Xu He.
Thinking about this, Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu He behaved differently.
Xu He was immediately overjoyed. He had been deceived by Li Zehe and Gan Cheng. He thought that Li Zehe and Gan Cheng would support him unreservedly, so he was full of confidence and thought that he would definitely be popular.
Become the new generation of co-owners of Liaodong Town.
As for Li Zehe and Gan Cheng, they immediately looked at each other, with a trace of hostility and fear flashing in their eyes.
On the surface, the two of them have always regarded Xu He as the leader, but in fact they have never really supported Xu He. The reason why they regard Xu He as the leader is just to deceive Xu He's support and win Xu He to join the team.
It was just a way to encourage Xu He to come forward.
When it comes time to decide on the specific candidate for the next commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town, both of them will abandon Xu He without hesitation and instead strive for the position for themselves.
To this day, Li Zehe and Gan Cheng each have their own advantages.
Gan Cheng has been keeping a low profile during this period. He is not as active as Li Zehe, nor is he a nominal leader like Xu He, so he has made fewer enemies. Moreover, the comprehensive strength of the East Road Defense Zone commanded by Gan Cheng is second only to
In the North Road Defense Zone, as long as these two advantages are taken advantage of, the chances of winning will naturally increase;
As for Li Zehe, he believes that he has a closer relationship with Zhao Junchen, Li Shijie and others, and the Jinzhou Camp, the headquarters of Liaodong Town, is located in the Zhonglu Defense Zone, so he also has a closer relationship with He Bandit, He Rensheng, Liu Xiong and others.
For the sake of familiarity, as long as you operate it well and promise huge profits to all parties, you can gain more support.
Under such circumstances, after hearing Zhao Junchen's proposal, both Li Zehe and Gan Cheng quickly abandoned Xu He and regarded the other party as their biggest rival.
At the same time, He Bandit frowned and did not express his position for a long time.
After all, Zhao Junchen's proposal was not only to select a new commander-in-chief for Liaodong Town, but also to seize the opportunity to seize the military power from He Bandit.
Bandit He himself is not a power-hungry person. He also knows that he has no ability to control the situation in Liaodong, let alone the qualifications to take over as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town. All the things that have happened during this period have repeatedly proved this.
, he has not tasted the sweetness of holding power at all, but has been repeatedly frustrated and exhausted.
However, He Bandit is still unwilling to delegate power like this.
This is because He Bandit does not trust the other generals, nor does he think that after these generals take power, they will wholeheartedly track down the real murderer and take revenge on He Yu like he does.
But He Bandit also knows that under the current situation, Liaodong Town really needs to elect a new commander-in-chief as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation.
Therefore, He Bandit couldn't help but be in a dilemma and didn't respond for a long time.
He Bandit had decisive military power. After seeing He Bandit's delay in responding, everyone had different ideas and was ready to make a move, but they did not express their stance urgently.

Just like that, as Zhao Junchen finished speaking, everyone was silent in thought, and the scene fell silent for an instant.
After a moment, He Bie suddenly raised his head and said: "Zhao Gechen's proposal... is indeed reasonable, but it is of great importance after all. I would like to discuss it privately with Ren Sheng and Hei Xiong."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to agree, He Bandit directly pulled He Rensheng and Liu Xiong away to the distance and started discussing in a low voice.
Zhao Junchen turned to look at the other four generals, as well as Li Shijie and Shi Cheng, and asked with a smile: "Do you also want to discuss it in private?"
After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, except for Shi Cheng, who looked cold and solemn, the other five people all had awkward expressions, but they all nodded slightly in agreement.
After all, at this critical moment, Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu He all want to win more supporters for themselves, and Huang Shenming and Li Shijie also want to take this opportunity to gain more benefits for themselves and their family.
Therefore, at this time, they must seize the time to connect in private, exchange opinions, form parties, fight against differences, and bargain.
As a result, Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, Xu He, Huang Shenming, and Li Shijie quickly left Zhao Junchen's side and walked far away, starting to connect with each other in full view of the public.
First, Xu He pulled Li Zehe and Gan Cheng together to discuss in a low voice, while Huang Shenming and Li Shijie also took the opportunity to exchange opinions;
Then, he saw Li Zehe walking quickly to Li Shijie and talking quietly to Li Shijie with a sincere expression on his face. Gan Cheng also put his arm around Huang Shenming's shoulder in a cordial manner and talked to Huang Shenming with his head buried in it;
Then, Xu He stood in front of Li Shijie and talked loudly about his close relationship with the generals of the Li family, while Li Zehe and Gan Cheng hid in the distance, lowering their voices and arguing fiercely...
As a result, only Zhao Junchen and Shi Cheng were left standing still.
Looking at the scene happening in front of him, Zhao Junchen was very interested and half-smiling, while Shi Cheng's expression was full of disdain and indignation.
After observing quietly like this for a long time, Zhao Junchen chuckled and said: "It's really interesting. This kind of private connection and rent-seeking for power is something that no one in the temple is immune to, but it always happens in the dark.
Everyone tries their best to hide it, but they are most afraid of showing their signs!
But now, under the pressure of the situation, all the forces in Liaodong Town must stand in broad daylight, openly communicate with each other, openly exercise the power of renting and selling, and openly bargain, so that all the dirty and dirty things can be avoided.
Xing, I am also lucky enough to witness this scene with my own eyes... Ha, it’s really enlightening.”
Shi Cheng turned to look at Zhao Junchen and said coldly: "Zhao Gechen, you are probably too excited, right? Do you think that all the things happening in front of you are a good thing?
I believe that although Liaodong Town did this out of necessity, it directly removed the fig leaf and exposed the interconnectedness of the various forces to the public. The impact is so bad that it has never been seen before!"
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "Collusion, cliques, and rent-seeking for power... It doesn't matter whether these things are good or bad, open or hidden, they will always exist and can never be avoided... In essence, they are just people's realization
It’s just a means to the goal. There are noble and despicable goals, but there is no such difference in the means! What’s more, you and I are both mortals. From the moment we are born, we are covered in dirt. No one can be the best in his life.
Immaculate.”
Having said this, Zhao Junchen suddenly turned around and asked: "Shi Qianhu, this opportunity is rare, and idle time is idle. Taking advantage of this opportunity, do you and I want to learn from them and connect with each other?"
Shi Cheng frowned and said: "I'm afraid there is nothing that needs to be connected between Beizhi and Zhao Gechen!"
"Don't keep your words..." Zhao Junchen shook his head gently again, and then asked in a low voice: "If this cabinet is willing to fully support Ximen Sheng to become the next commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town, Shi Qianhu, what are you willing to pay?
