After receiving the news sent by Shishen, Ye Chengzhong immediately rushed to the study and reported the news to Li Zhen. Qiling was the governor of Guangdong and the highest official in Guangdong. In name, Li Zhen, the governor of Guangzhou, also belonged to Qiling. With this condition, it is normal for seniors to reward Li Zhen and his generals. The request is reasonable and reasonable, and Li Zhen cannot even tolerate his refusal.
Even if Li Zhen refused on the grounds of illness, he could avoid the first day of junior high school but not the fifteenth day, but he still had to take someone with him.
Li Zhen thought carefully and pondered Qiling's intentions.
He and Qi Ling maintained a superficial relationship, but everyone knew that they had broken things off. However, now Qi Ling took the initiative to send someone to invite him and a group of generals to a banquet, and he obviously had other intentions. Li Zhen thought for a moment, but had no clue, so he directly ordered: "Xiaoye, please sir and brother-in-law come over to discuss countermeasures."
"yes."
Ye Chengzhong got the order and went immediately.
Not long after, Liu Taiping and Wang Xiaoyang arrived hand in hand, and Ye Chengzhong stood behind Liu Taiping to listen.
Li Zhen said directly: "Sir, brother-in-law, Xiaoye just received the news from the governor's Yamen. Qiling invited me and his generals to the governor's Yamen for a banquet at noon tomorrow. He specified that he would bring Huang Shihai, Qi Zhenhai, and Yang Ban with him. Lieutenant generals such as Hou, Lu Shaochuan, and Smith were targeting me, but under the guise of celebrating the victory over Guangzhou, they invited us all to the governor's office. Could it be that they wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were no generals guarding the military camp? We are attacking the military camp."
Wang Xiaoyang shook his head and said without thinking: "Sir, the troops stationed in the city are all direct descendants brought from Shanghai and are absolutely loyal to you. Even if the seniors want to attack the soldiers in the military camp, they will not succeed."
Li Zhen called Wang Xiaoyang brother-in-law, but Wang Xiaoyang did not dare to be presumptuous.
After all, he is now Li Zhen's staff.
After hearing this, Li Zhen nodded, but then said: "I also think that no matter what method Qi Ling uses, it is impossible to mobilize the army or instigate soldiers to rebel. However, I can't figure out Qi Ling's intention, so I can only guess. Just a guess."
Liu Taiping twirled his beard and said calmly: "What Xiaoyang said makes sense. It is impossible for seniors to make such stupid mistakes. The army is the foundation. It is impossible for adults to be defenseless. As long as you say a word, no matter what seniors do, There are no tricks, so seniors will not take action against soldiers in the army."
Wang Xiaoyang sat aside and suddenly became depressed.
After all, he was also an elder of the Beggar Clan, with status and status. Now in Liu Taiping's mouth, he suddenly became a little sheep, on the same level as Ye Chengzhong's 'Little Ye', which was really depressing.
However, I cannot refute it.
Li Zhen looked at the two people and said: "It is impossible for seniority to target the army, but he specially held a banquet to celebrate me and the generals. I don't think seniority is so kind. Will he go to the governor's Yamen for the Hongmen Banquet? Seniority deliberately attracts me." I went with a group of generals to catch them all, but without me and a group of generals, the soldiers in the army will naturally be in chaos."
Wang Xiaoyang heard this and said: "The Hongmen Banquet is not impossible, it may be."
After a pause, Wang Xiaoyang continued: "But after careful analysis, the Governor's Yamen and the Admiral's Mansion are on the same street, or door to door. If there is any movement at the Governor's Yamen, the soldiers from the Admiral's Mansion can kill them."
Liu Taiping continued: "I think that whether it is attacking the army or holding a Hongmen Banquet, it is not in line with Qi Ling's style. It is not Qi Ling's style. Since taking office, everything Qi Ling has done is to make decisions before taking action. I don’t like big fights, and I like the gentle breeze and drizzle to slowly change the situation. If there is a Hongmen Banquet and the commotion becomes louder, it will definitely be reported that the seniors are unfavorable to the adults, so I predict that the seniors will not put others in charge, no I will choose Hongmen Banquet.”
"Style, style of doing things."
After Li Zhen heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he seemed to have thought of a clue.
Wang Xiaoyang was about to speak, but Liu Taiping reached out to stop him.
The two of them waited quietly.
At this time, Li Zhen's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about all the things about seniority.
After Qi Ling arrived in Guangzhou, he took the initiative to go to the Admiral's Mansion to apologize for Wan Fu's incident. This move won Qi Ling praise and made the people think that Qi Ling was a modest official, establishing Qi Ling's star image. Next, Unexpectedly, Qi Ling set up the governor's office opposite the Admiral's Mansion and fought with Li Zhenmao, but he did not give anyone any authority. Later, Qi Ling summoned businessmen lavishly to appease the people and create a harmonious situation.
After all things are considered, it can be said that Qiling is a person who values appearances very much.
In other words, senior citizens value the overall situation.
Generally speaking, seniority hopes to maintain his special status in Guangdong and is the unique governor of Guangdong. Moreover, seniority also hopes to maintain a harmonious and profitable situation with Li Zhen on the surface. Seniority also knows that he and Li Zhen are enemies. Moreover, he wanted to avenge Wanfu and frequently resorted to tricks, but these were all conspiracy and would not be detrimental to the senior himself.
However, what happened to Ma Mingde was beyond Qi Ling's expectations, which made Qi Ling passive.
Li Zhen thought about the whole process clearly, and his mind was still on the matter of the senior man getting involved with the businessman and isolating him. Now he is naming the generals and bringing them with him. This is a drunkard's intention and not the wine.
Obviously, Qiling's target was not Li Zhen, but the generals under Li Zhen's command.
Li Zhen's heart suddenly became enlightened, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Sir, brother-in-law, I understand. In the style of a senior citizen, he first won over businessmen and appeased the people. Next, he will definitely win over the army and ensure complete isolation. There is no doubt that the generals of the army are the targets of seniority's wooing, and the reason why I was asked to take all the generals with me is to alienate the relationship between me and the generals."
"Hahaha……"
Liu Taiping stroked the long beard under his chin and said with a smile: "This move of seniority is really stupid. Doesn't he know that all the generals are loyal to you? This seniority is really determined to not give up. He will only wake up when he hits a wall."
After Li Zhen figured it out, he relaxed.
Wang Xiaoyang said with a smile: "This strategy of seniority can also be used to test the generals under your command." Obviously, Wang Xiaoyang had different considerations.
Li Zhen said without hesitation: "I believe them."
Liu Taiping nodded slightly. As a superior, he must understand the principle of employing people and not doubting those who don't use them. Once you choose to use them, you can't doubt them. This is the way to employ people.
"Bang, bang,."
Outside the study, there was a knock on the door. Ye Chengzhong immediately went to open the door. An attendant came in and said hurriedly: "Sir, there is news from the hospital that Huan Xiaolang and a person who claims to be your sister. The woman got into a quarrel. The two of them were arguing and it was difficult to resolve. Please come over."
"younger sister."
Li Zhen murmured, thinking of Mu Ziqing.
Li Zhen asked: "What is the reason for the quarrel? Do you want to know clearly?"
The attendant shook his head and said: "The person who reported the news came in a hurry. He did not explain the reason. He just asked you to go there quickly to deal with the hospital affairs."
Li Zhen looked at Ye Chengzhong and ordered: "Xiaoye, go and prepare."
Immediately, Li Zhen, Wang Xiaoyang, and Liu Taiping said goodbye and turned around to leave.
