The old man and the young man have very different personalities and have completely different values.`
But when the general direction becomes consistent, there won't be much difficulty in talking.
Of course, the two of them are not playing house. Every word they talk about actually involves the future direction of Mayi County, because today's Mayi County will be dominated by the two of them.
Wang Rengong felt that such a conversation came too late. When he first arrived in Mayi, if someone with military power was willing to sit down and have a quiet and rational talk with him, the situation would not have reached such a critical stage.
Today's situation.
Li Po felt that although Old Man Wang was dim-sighted, he was not as ignorant and stubborn as he imagined.
This also means that their conversation went smoothly.
Of course, the two people are not talking heart-to-heart and making friends. Otherwise, the two people will not be able to talk about it. Their knowledge, opinions, etc. are completely different, and they will not become lifelong friends.
The interactions between them tend to be based on each other's needs and interests, forming a temporary alliance that is not very strong.
Both of them actually knew this very well.
They could not reach consensus on one fundamental condition, that is, whether they were loyal to the Sui Dynasty, so they avoided talking about it during the conversation that night.
This is also a wiser approach, because they actually understand that neither of them will have much impact on the general trend of the world. Apart from causing disputes, talking about those things will have no impact on Mayi County and even the general trend of the world.
It doesn't make any sense.
It can only be said that this night's conversation helped them eliminate a lot of barriers and doubts.
It doesn't take long, the effects will be felt the next day.
Mayi City quickly entered a state of complete military control.
The county government began to summon Mayi officials and began to make full preparations to restore administrative order.`
After this chaos, almost half of the high and low officials in Mayi were missing. People named Liu Biejia in Mayi either escaped from Mayi city or were killed in the city.
Once a riot breaks out, it is undeniable that it will cause damage to officials or the officialdom, because they must be the most direct targets for people's resentment.
As for Li Po, the generals in Heng'an Town began to look for trouble.
First, the foxes and rats in the cities before Mayi City must be uncovered one by one. Those who committed crimes during the previous riots must be severely punished.
This is the first thing that needs to be done after order is restored. Let people see clearly that sitting down and doing evil will be punished, rather than letting things go by the wayside.
Similarly, this is one of the most obvious differences between officers and soldiers and rebels. After the riots, rebels everywhere will not hesitate to accommodate those so-called heroes who dare to fight and kill in order to expand their strength as quickly as possible.
Therefore, at the beginning of the rebellion, or for a long period of time, there was a mixture of good and bad among them, or even, they were filled with market scoundrels, private salt dealers, local bullies and other desperadoes.
They are often more aggressive than ordinary people, and they are more likely to climb into high positions in the rebel army than ordinary civilians. Therefore, people often say that times make heroes.
There is no doubt that Li Po is actually one of them, but now he is just the defender of order.
In any case, the situation in Mayi City has reached this point. Then the blood will definitely continue to flow. Whether it is for deterrence or to eliminate future troubles, it is certain that some people will be killed.
Secondly, we must continue to search for the whereabouts of Mayi County Lieutenant Liu Wuzhou, and be sure to punish the culprit before returning to the army.
This is one of the main purposes of the Heng'an Town Army sending troops south. Until it is achieved, the Heng'an Town Army will not leave Mayi City.
Third, Li Po ordered people to inspect the warehouse in Mayi City.`
He and Wang Rengong have already discussed that he wants half of Mayi City's armor, weapons and other items.
Fourth, he also wants to take away some of the various craftsmen registered in Mayi City.
He did not come to Mayi City to fulfill his obligations. Speaking out these piecemeal requests made Wang Rengong very heartbroken and embarrassed, but it also really dispelled Wang Rengong's last doubt.
If the Heng'an Town Army wanted nothing, just to go around and kill Liu Wuzhou, Wang Rengong would have to carefully consider Li Po's intentions.
Because no matter what time, selfless people are always rarer, especially generals who lead troops, they are even rarer.
Wanting nothing actually means having great desires.
Wang Rengong didn't think that a young general in his early twenties would think about becoming a loyal minister and martyr. Is there such a person? There must be, but this Heng'an general doesn't look like him at all.
In fact, in addition to Wang Rengong's fear that Li Po had the ambition to occupy Mayi City and dominate the border counties, he was also afraid that Li Po would wantonly loot and plunder in Mayi City, or simply recruit soldiers in Mayi City.
These are the things that generals like to do the most. Fortunately, Li Po did it very appropriately, showing his sincerity, and some of the conditions he proposed were within Wang Rengong's acceptance range.
In fact, no one who has dated Li Po will feel too uncomfortable. Well, except for Li Shimin, the second son of the Li family went to Yunnei and was always worried about leaving his girl behind in Yunnei. When he was dating Li Po
It was very uncomfortable during the process.
As for others, even Dou Dan, the very picky young master of the aristocratic family, could name a long list of shortcomings displayed by Li Po himself, but if you ask him how he feels about interacting with this person, he will tell you without hesitation.
You, this person is worth friends with.
This is the great thing about Li Po. He doesn't always try to take advantage, but always finds ways and means that satisfy both parties and neither suffers too much to achieve his goals.
Of course, as his enemy, you would never feel this way.
Liu Wuzhou, who was running around in Mayi City, is a typical example.
This local snake in Mayi City used his greatest ability to the limit, and like a ground rat, he kept diving deep underground with endless fear.
There was no need to think about leaving the city. In the first place, he failed to get out of the city gate of Mayi, so he had no chance to get out.
He could only rely on the connections he had established in Mayi City for many years to hide himself deeply. Soon after, he felt that it was impossible to force his way out of the city with the people around him, so he immediately got rid of those people.
Han Jing sent guards beside him.
He pinned all his hopes on the fact that if he hid deep enough, those outside would not pursue him so vigorously.
Unfortunately, he had no idea what kind of determination Li Po would have when he hated someone. Moreover, Mayi City was not a big city like Jinyang, Dongdu, or Chang'an.
After controlling the entire situation, it doesn't take a lot of effort to find someone.
Several Mayi police officers who were also brothers with Liu Wuzhou were found in the county government. Li Po did not see them, but Yuchi Gong severely threatened these people and set a ten-day limit for them.
If you find Liu Wuzhou's people, you can get promoted to an official position here in Mayi City, or you can choose to go to Yunnei to become an official. If you can't find them, all of them will be killed.
Because they are inseparable from the riots in Mayi City.
Then, wanted notices, large and small, were posted all over the streets and alleys of Mayi City.
The intensity of this kind of investigation is much greater than when the court hunted down the traitor Li Mi.
As Liu Wuzhou's accomplices were arrested one after another, and were taken to the market in rows, their charges announced, and then their heads fell to the ground one after another, Liu Wuzhou, the riotous mastermind, could no longer hide himself.
After all, he is not a mouse and can crawl into holes.
Only six days had passed before a headman named Yu led his men to dig him out.
This former Mayi underworld leader and later Mayi County Lieutenant was a "hero" who participated in three Northern Expeditions, but he did not have the consciousness to die calmly like Liu Rengong, and was still trying hard to find that elusive glimmer of hope.
Well, there is no doubt about his survival. Of course, words like "strong" have no connection with him.
After being dragged out of the dark secret room, the once majestic Lieutenant Liu of Mayi was tortured to the point of being transformed into a human being by his own desires and ambitions, as well as his boundless fear.
Because he had a strong desire to survive, his sanity did not collapse.
It can be said that this is also a monster created by the Liaodong wars. He regards human life as grass seeds, is extremely bold, and is full of ambition.
When he was caught, his first words were not to beg for mercy, but he kept saying that he wanted to see General Heng'an and Ma Yitong guard Li Ding'an to tell him something important.
In fact, there were not so many important things, because he had followed Li Po to Liaodong. In his impression, Li Po's biggest weakness was none other than two words: soft-hearted.
Yes, Li Po gave him such an impression.
Because on the way to Liaodong and during the period of stay at Mayi Ranch, although he suffered a lot and hated Li Po deeply, his impression of Li Po remained there.
Li Po was a good opponent of his subordinates, and he did not try hard to punish the wrong people to death. As a leading general, Liu Wuzhou, who was "well-informed", used himself as an example, so he thought that this person
His heart is too soft. If it were him, what would he do...
As a result, Li Po was "soft-hearted".
This became Liu Wuzhou's last straw. He hoped that Li Po would be soft-hearted and let him live. After all, everyone has been keeping their peace for so long.
(Even the chapter at seven o'clock was almost not updated on time. Ah Cao was also dizzy. I really can't relax too much on Saturdays and Sundays. It's a bit difficult to update the chapter twice a day. I can only say that Ah Cao didn't work hard enough. The record of constant updates must be maintained.
