Chapter 312: The Successor

When Li Ruizhi took out the handsome seal that had always been in charge of Li Yongchang himself, it meant that the turmoil in the military camp officially came to an end.

Under the command of the newly appointed general, the three rebel leaders, Liu Yanghui, General Jia and Dongfang Xiujie, were effortlessly arrested and escorted. On the same footing with them, there are also a small number of generals in the army who jump up and down and shout on the side.

During the whole process, General Yang only watched quietly from the sidelines, and did not intervene in any way. Seeing that Li Ruizhi's command was determined and the arrangements were well organized, it was obvious that he did not know anything about military affairs as he himself said, so he couldn't help but nod his head secretly, feeling relieved in his heart.

He was really happy, happy for the city lord to whom he was loyal, Li Yongchang.

General Yang's life was saved by Li Yongchang, and the grace of his life made him loyal to Li Yongchang. And the latter's wisdom and methods made him admire and admire, and it also deepened his sense of identity with this master.

The Liu family, the Zhang family, and other rebel forces secretly engaged in wind and rain in Gaozhou City, forming an unsettling undercurrent. But as Li Yongchang's henchman, General Yang knew very well that these were just clowns jumping off the beam, and with the layout of the city lord, snuffing them out was like stepping on a small flame, and it was effortless at all.

What really worries General Yang, General Zhao and other loyal generals is the dilemma that the city lord has no successor.

Don't mention Li Ruizhi in the past, with the virtue he showed, as long as he didn't pit his father too much, he would already be thankful that he would inherit Li Yongchang's family business, which was the misfortune of the entire Gaozhou City.

In comparison, his sister Li Menghan showed considerable ability. The unreliability of his brother Li Ruizhi made everyone regard Li Menghan as the future head of the Li family. It's a pity that she is a woman. And it has the indecision that women often have, as well as the untimely kindness.

Anyone with insight sees that troubled times are coming, and a benevolent leader may not bring a bright future to the people under his rule.

Well, now, judging from General Yang's contact with Li Ruizhi today, he is quite satisfied with the performance of Grand Prince Li. Calm, calm, organized, and with a forbearance that is difficult for most older people to achieve, General Yang conservatively predicts that he will at least be a qualified leader.

Whether it can come out of the blue, the rigorous General Yang has to continue to observe before he can make a final judgment.

As soon as Li Ruizhi's order was issued, several generals in the army naturally carried out the order. The vast majority of officers above the middle level remained in place, and these were the backbone of the loyal city lord Li Yongchang. With excitement and anticipation, they looked at Li Ruizhi, who had completely changed, and quietly waited for his next order.

And Li Ruizhi didn't let them wait too long, put aside his disguise and return to his original appearance, he seemed capable and resolute.

"General Yang, please sit in the large camp of the army and clear the remnants of the rebel forces in the large camp. We have already mastered the specific list of the spy eyes planted by the Liu family, the Zhang family and other families in the army. Wait a minute, you can contact your father's direct intelligence department, I have already said hello there, and they will fully cooperate with you. ”

"Yes!" General Yang bowed down to receive the order, and his heart moved.

In any country or power, a strong intelligence system is one of the most important resources in the hands of a ruler. Li Yongchang let Li Ruizhi take control of the army, and now it seems that even the intelligence department obeys his orders, could it be that this is the prelude to Li Ruizhi taking over his father's position?

As for the task that General Yang received, he did not take it to heart. With his control over the army, coupled with a clear list of spies, if he still makes any waves for his opponent, then he, the number three person in the army, does not need to be the third person.

Li Ruizhi turned his head to look at the active general: "General Geng, now, you are a general!" ”

The original Geng Bi general, the current Geng Lang will be Li Yongchang's optimistic person, his ability is quite good, and the most important thing is to be loyal to the Li family. He has been pressed and has not been promoted, but he has already calculated that he will leave this opportunity of grace to his son Li Ruizhi. In time, Geng Lang will be Li Ruizhi's henchman.

"Me?" Before the general could be surprised that Li Ruizhi actually knew that he knew it, he was hit by an even greater surprise.

He held out his thumb and pointed at the tip of his nose: "I'm promoted?" ”

"Yes, you're promoted." Li Ruizhi replied simply, and then immediately ordered.

"General Geng Lang, I order you to immediately gather the men and horses of the headquarters and quickly gather outside the camp gate. When I come out, I'll go now! ”

Hearing the military order, Geng Lang gave a military salute with a snap.

"Yes!"

"Where are you going?" He asked, as he hurried out the door.

Li Ruizhi frowned, he didn't want to answer, but after a little thought, he still said, "Go back to the City Lord's Mansion." ”

Geng Lang paused, but only stopped for a moment, immediately picked up his speed, opened the door and rushed out.

He's upright, but not stupid. The purpose of the troops' attack, he shouldn't have asked. is also similar to General Jia just now, the ups and downs he experienced today are too exciting, and he was confused for a while, so he asked like this.

Glancing back just now, seeing the new general's brows furrowed, Geng Lang General had already realized his mistake. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he didn't say much anymore and hurried to carry out the task.

Geng Lang, who had just been promoted, left, and the remaining generals asked the questions in his heart on his behalf.

"General, the city lord is now in the Guanfu and is negotiating with Liu Yulong, Zhang Yuebo and others. Since Liu Yanghui appeared here and tried to subvert the military power of the big battalion. Then on the adult's side, the Liu family and the Zhang family may also have set up an ambush, which will be unfavorable to the adult. Aren't we going to send troops to support the Castle Lord? ”

Li Ruizhi's brows furrowed again, and a little unhappiness rose in his heart.

This is the sequelae of his pretense.

The name Li Ruizhi is a household name in Gaozhou City, including the generals in the army, who have formed a solid and unbearable impression of him. Even if everything that happened today has been explained, it is just a big drama co-directed by him and the city lord Li Yongchang. But if you want to change people's perceptions and evaluations all at once, it is clear that such a performance is not enough.

The consequence of this is that the generals retain a wait-and-see and even distrust mentality towards him. All the orders he gave were in the habit of questioning or questioning first, rather than resolutely carrying them out without hesitation.

When discussing problems, everyone expresses their opinions, expresses their ideas, brainstorms, and then makes the best solution, which is a good thing. But when assigning tasks and demanding strict implementation of orders, subordinates still have to put forward their own suggestions and opinions, which is never a good thing.

For example, now, every time Li Ruizhi makes a decision, he has to face the "kind reminders" of the generals. Fortunately, the plan made by his father and son is very complete and there is no danger of failure. If it is really the military situation and the situation is urgent, and these generals are delayed like this, the other side may already be full of corpses, with countless casualties.

But this is also something that can't be helped, Li Ruizhi is a complete newcomer in the army, and the army is a place where all strength speaks. Even if everyone has begun to accept that his previous fucking behavior is just an illusion, the generals will not be able to convince him from the bottom of their hearts until he shows enough convincing ability.

Li Ruizhi sighed in his heart, and patiently explained: "There is no need, the plan we have formulated is huge and complete, not only to smash the rebellious conspiracy of the Liu family and the Zhang family, but also to find out all the dangerous factors hidden inside and outside Gaozhou City, and then kill them one by one." My father also has proper arrangements on his side, so we don't need to worry about it. ”

The generals were relieved and relaxed.

General Yang carefully observed Li Ruizhi's performance on the side and nodded secretly.

Only Li Ruizhi sighed secretly: It seems that the "road to recovery" of his image has a long way to go!
