Chapter Fifty-Eight: Urgency
Being the mayor of the city can't solve the problem, of course they don't want to be implicated all the time, and they also do it with Shouzhong, and they also do it with other deputy mayors.
There were advantages in the past, but now there are only disadvantages of bad luck, and most people are not willing to be implicated in this for a long time for no reason!
The hundreds of generals were making a fuss, and when the people sent out returned, Shouzhong asked, "What did Li Tianzhao say after seeing the letters from the mayor of Qianshan City and the mayor of Harvest City?"
Shouzhong has not been idle these days, and sent someone to deliver letters, and asked the mayors of Harvest City and Thousand Mountains City to write a handwritten letter to help persuade him.
Today, he just sent someone to deliver a letter to Li Tianzhao.
The man who came back said with a look of embarrassment, "He didn't see it." ”
"Didn't read it, how could it not be?" Shouzhong was very surprised, no matter what Li Tianzhao said after reading the letter, he had considered it.
But if you don't see it, you can't say it, the mayors of these two cities are not people who Li Tianzhao can not be emotional!
Li Tianzhao took the letter and tore it into his arms on the spot! Then he said: "Since he has not read it, of course he does not know what it says, and when he will go back, he will ask the mayors of the two cities." The messenger didn't expect Li Tianzhao to do this.
Shouzhong didn't expect that when the generals heard it, they knew that the problem still couldn't be solved, and they shouted again, saying that Shouzhong would have an idea, and the soldiers under them couldn't stand it.
"Okay! Wait a few more days. "Shouzhong is secretly annoyed, Li Tianzhao is so unkind to the mayors of the two cities, he is really a newborn calf who doesn't know the height of the sky!
Shou Zhong couldn't help but think of other methods, such as inviting Wan Zhan to come over, in the final analysis, he and Li Tianzhao were also under the jurisdiction of the governor of Beifeng Prefecture.
"How many days? It's been ten days now! The mayor won't give us a letter, so how can we go back and tell the big guy?"
"yes! We can't help it, and after a few days, they're already arguing. ”
"Within seven days. "Shouzhong also has to consider the dissatisfaction of everyone, if there is a lot of loss of people under him, he will not be able to serve as the mayor of the city.
Li Tianzhao wanted to cut off his merits, even if it took two years, he wouldn't pay it back, but the key was that it wouldn't be long before his men ran out!
Is that great merit important, or is the position of the city chief important? Meritorious service does not mean that you can be the city chief, so many deputy city chiefs who raise flowers and grass are living examples!
He can hold on for a long time, but his men can't last long, there is no one in his hands, and his city chief is about to be lost.
This is what Shouzhong is really afraid of, and it is also the real death hole of Li Tianzhao.
"The mayor said seven days, then seven days! I will definitely try to appease everyone. "A few hundred battles will take the lead in making a statement, and it is not good to say anything on the side.
A group of hundred generals got a clear deadline to go back, and each told his men.
After those hundred battle generals who were more valued in the past returned, the people under their hands knew that there was a definite deadline, and they didn't say anything, the city chief used to be kind to them, and now they can bear it if they wait a few more days.
But those who didn't get much in the past, or even didn't get it, are not happy anymore.
"Hundred generals! We are almost the same everywhere, and now the deputy mayor of the city can afford it, and give us generous conditions, why do we have to spend it under the hands of the city chief? After this village, there will be no more such shop!"
"That's right! Others have had a lot more errands than we have in the past, and of course they are willing to accompany the city chief. It's over, and they're still the same as usual, and they're doing good things!
"I also think that seven days is a bit long, but after all, I gave the letter of approval, so it's hard to say anything. "The hundred generals who took the lead actually hesitated, the reason is what the team said, but as soon as they encountered something, they left, and they would inevitably be criticized by other hundred generals.
"Seven days! We have to wait for a hundred generals to wait, I don't wait, do you wait? Seven days, the matter has passed, we have no benefit; now we don't wait, go directly to Deputy Mayor Chen, and there will be preferential treatment." When the matter is over, do you think Deputy Mayor Chen will give such good conditions? Who is the lack of people? They are just taking the opportunity to dig the corner of the city chief's wall!"
A group of ten generals had also discussed, and they had such opinions just now, but most of them did not express their positions, in order to wait for the hundred generals to come back and give an explanation, now they know that they will have to wait for seven days, and some people say: "I won't wait either." ”
"Then I'm not waiting!"
"No waiting!"
"Don't wait!"
"Everyone doesn't wait, I'm sure I don't wait, we've been fighting side by side for so long, it's better to go together. ”
The hundred generals who encountered this kind of situation had no choice but to make a decision, and they had no reason to accompany the city chief to insist, and they were explicitly invited by some deputy city chiefs, so they obeyed the will of their subordinates and directly changed the court.
However, the people who left at this time, after all, were still in the minority, so as not to shake the foundation of loyalty.
However, things were showing signs of the worst, and he couldn't help but care.
Once it becomes a trend, it is too late to reverse it.
Loyalty is rewarded, knowing that there are hundreds of generals, the matter is urgent, and extraordinary measures must be taken.
So he called out to a confidant and assigned them how to do it.
The hundred battle generals couldn't help but say worriedly: "City Chief, is this all right? If they are not strict and let other deputy city chiefs know, it will be a big trouble!"
"The matter has come to this, it is time to be a soldier and take risks, and someone may leave if you wait for one more day. "Keeping loyal doesn't know that this kind of means is not easy to use, and it is not clever to leave a handle on things, and if the handle can be fatal, it is even less clever.
However, the situation cannot wait, and he must resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Early in the morning, Shouzhong's henchmen shouted that nine hundred generals would go out of the city together.
Deputy Mayor Chen's people were already paying attention to their movements, and when they saw so many people going out at the same time, they hurriedly reported it.
As soon as Li Tianzhao finished breakfast, he saw soldiers with Chen Ziqi patrolling the streets, and the number of people in a team happened to be fourteen.
Under normal circumstances, there is no such number of patrols, and it was originally agreed that this is a code when there are special circumstances.
On the way to Dashu to get news, Li Tianzhao ran into a patrol team with the banner of Chen Zi.
"There are really a lot of people in this deputy city chief Chen, and I don't know how many teams of people have been arranged to patrol the city just to give me a code. Li Tianzhao picked up the news from the tree, hurried out of the city, and went out through the north gate.
He followed the marks along the way and soon met Deputy Mayor Chen's people.
"They are right in front, a total of ten hundred generals, and they must be high-merit errands. If you don't bring the ten generals with you, nine times out of ten you will intercept the goods!" The tracking hundred battles will complete the handover and withdraw on their own.
Shouzhong wanted to use the personal pressure of the mayors of Harvest City and Thousand Mountains City to send me away, but he didn't succeed. Immediately after that, there was a big event that came out of these ten hundred battle generals in front of me, if it weren't for the trap of the loyal dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, I wouldn't believe it!' Li Tianzhao continued to follow, and found that this team of hundred battle generals had already crossed the junction line and entered the place of the Fengwu King.
"Why do you have to go so far with a trap?" Li Tianzhao secretly felt strange, but continued to follow.
Sooner or later, Shou Zhong will use extraordinary means, which is expected.
Li Tianzhao can't hide, so many deputy mayors send news every day, is he hiding in the inn every day to drink tea in order to avoid traps?
Then he might as well start and not come!
Since I came, I expected to face some risks.
As long as you deal with it, you can't bear it.
Li Tianzhao followed all the way, observing his surroundings and setting up some small mechanisms on the road he had walked, and if someone followed through, there would be a sound warning sound.
However, no.
The ten generals crossed the junction, turned into the path, and went around a section, and the road became wide again, winding over the slope, and suddenly opened up again.
Li Tianzhao was also taken aback when he saw a village in sight.
How can there be a village in the middle of such a junction?
There is a gate at the entrance to the village, and stone walls have been built around the village to prevent people from passing through.
"Could it be the secret stronghold of the Guardian City?" Li Tianzhao was still so skeptical at first, but after entering, he found that it was obviously not.
There are a lot of people here, looking at the weapons, there are both the people of the Fengwu King and the warriors who protect the city.
It's obviously a desperate relationship, but here, it's unrelated to each other, can you walk together on the street?
When I entered the village, no one inquired.
It's a pity that I didn't see the thousand generals on the side of the Wind Warrior King, otherwise I would have a chance to earn my own merits. Li Tianzhao followed the ten hundred generals into a house in the village.
Then, to his astonishment, he found out that this was the casino.
What to bet on?
It's a bet on the War Seal!
Li Tianzhao saw that there were those on the table, those on the side of King Fengwu, and those on the side of King Xuantian Martial King. He remembered that Zhen Yeluo had said that if you recycle your own people's battle seals, don't hand them in, and if you exchange them with hostile people, your merit will be higher.
Since there is a practice of picking up one's own people's war seals on the battlefield, it is certainly not surprising that they are gambling like this.
"In this way, these ten people have made an appointment to come here to gamble on the war seal?" Li Tianzhao thought, very annoyed, after so much time in vain, he immediately doubted: "Is it a way to keep loyalty?" deliberately let people take me out, and when I go back, half a day has passed. ...... No, such a delaying tactic will not solve the fundamental pressure of loyalty, perhaps, they are just idle and have nothing to make an appointment to gamble. ’
Bai came to visit, although Li Tianzhao was curious about this village, but now he has no time to stay.
He had to keep a high level of tension when he put pressure on those who were loyal, and once he was given a chance to breathe, those people were less eager to change their minds, and there was less pressure on them to keep their loyalties.
Li Tianzhao walked out of the village, rushed back along the winding road, and when he crossed this road, when he went up the hillside, the wind blowing over was suddenly noticed by him!
Four people, behind that tree, and that tree, and one in that tree...... If you don't have the air flow to tell you this, I'm afraid you will be on your way today. Li Tianzhao instantly realized a common saying, ginger is still old and spicy!
The trap of loyalty, so cleverly arranged!
Ten hundred generals went out of the city together, no matter which deputy city chief's people saw it, they would definitely think it was a big deal, and whoever notified Li Tianzhao would definitely follow.
And when he followed, he was naturally vigilant all the way, and when he entered the village, he found that it was gambling, and when he turned back, he would inevitably relax his guard.
At this time, it is the time for the ambush arranged by the loyal to be launched.
Step by step, ring by ring, all the people's hearts are counted.
It's a pity that Shouzhong never imagined that for Li Tianzhao, the air flow is like another pair of eyes, able to see through a lot of information that cannot be obtained normally.
'They ambushed me, and it was also when their self-protection was at their weakest!' Li Tianzhao learned and applied his core points to the situation in front of him.
When Li Tianzhao pretended to know nothing and walked under a tree, a person hiding in the tree suddenly raised his sword and pounced down!
The man's feet are up and down, the thousand-striped sword is pointing down, and he is dressed in green, which is clearly prepared for hiding in an ambush.
