Zhao Junchen seemed to have thought of something on the spur of the moment, and sighed softly: "Oh, this person in this pavilion just likes to worry about things, and always finds things for himself... He has obviously already stated that he will not care about your Liaodong Town.
Things have happened, but now I still can't help but intervene, and even arrange tasks for the generals... Not only are they overstepping their boundaries, but they are also breaking their own words, and I hope that the generals will not take the blame!"
Having said this, Zhao Junchen already showed regret on his face, shook his head repeatedly, and said: "Fortunately, I reacted in time, and naturally I can't knowingly commit the crime again..."
Therefore, all the previous conclusions are invalid. Who should be responsible for investigating the Jianzhou Jurchen suspicions, and who should be responsible for the merits, demerits, rewards and punishments? It is better for you to decide after discussion. I will not interfere anymore.
, just listen!”
Upon hearing what Zhao Junchen said, several Liaodong generals were stunned, and it took them a long time to react.
Li Zehe's expression was full of shock and he asked: "Zhao Gechen, you don't care at all? How can this be possible? If you don't care at all, who will take charge of the overall situation?"
Zhao Junchen, on the other hand, had a firm attitude and asked as a matter of course: "I should not have been involved in the internal affairs of Liaodong Town from the beginning... As for who should be in charge of the overall situation in the future, isn't it still you?
As far as I know, Mr. He took the risk to deliver a secret message to you a few days ago, stating that all matters in Liaodong Town should be left to you, the generals, for collective decision-making, and also deliberately told you not to let outsiders
Interfering in the affairs of Liaodong Town...Have you forgotten Mr. He's explanation?"
In one sentence, Li Zehe's subsequent persuasion was completely blocked.
Seeing Zhao Junchen's firm attitude, all the Liaodong generals couldn't help but look at each other in shock.
Who would have thought that Zhao Junchen would be so inconsistent in his work and give up halfway. He had obviously succeeded in suppressing Ximen Sheng, who had always had a tough attitude, and had successfully guided the direction of the issue. When he was about to make a final decision and take control of the overall situation, he unexpectedly
It’s time to withdraw again and choose to sit back and watch!
It's just a matter of withdrawing, and it also completely negates the results of the previous discussions, making all issues have to be started over.
Prior to this, Zhao Junchen had decided to hand over the investigation of Jianzhou Jurchen to Ximen Sheng. He also seemed to intend to hand over the rewards and punishments of merit and demerits, as well as rewards to the entire army, to Li Zehe and others. Generally speaking, this distribution method was
It's fair to say that, whether it's Ximen Sheng's side or Li Zehe's side, even if they have concerns, they will have no other choice in the end and will most likely choose to accept it.
But now, Zhao Junchen suddenly changed his attitude and invalidated all these conclusions, leaving it to the generals of Liaodong Town to discuss and decide on their own. Naturally, a fierce fight would inevitably follow.
After all, whether it is investigating the relationship between the Jianzhou Jurchens and the kidnappers, or rewarding and punishing the entire army, it is a great opportunity to win over allies and suppress dissidents. All the generals in Liaodong Town are also determined to win. Previously,
Because Zhao Junchen is in charge of the situation, they may still be reluctant to accept the arrangement, but after Zhao Junchen chooses to stand aside, it will naturally become a fight for each other without giving in.
In the end, the development of the situation that was originally controlled by Zhao Junchen will become chaotic again and variables will appear.
This approach can be described as inexplicable and completely confusing. No one knows what Zhao Junchen is thinking.
Only Zhao Junchen knew that he had successfully achieved his initial goal.
In fact, after deep introspection, Zhao Junchen will naturally not make the mistake of "doing great things without cherishing his own life" again. His sudden withdrawal this time and deliberately standing aside is no longer due to worries about gains and losses deep in his heart.
But because Zhao Junchen had already anticipated the final result at this time, he felt that there was no need for him to continue to interfere.
Just like the trains of later generations, they seem to be running freely and without restraint, but in fact they can only move along the tracks that have been laid out for a long time.
Zhao Junchen's current approach is the same. It seems to be retreating and watching, but he has laid out everything in advance and guided the direction. On the surface, he has left everything to the generals of Liaodong Town.
Negotiate, but in fact the result has already been determined!
*
Because of Zhao Junchen's unexpected statement, the thoughts of the generals in Liaodong Town were a little confused for a while.
However, they had no choice or position to force Zhao Junchen to change his mind and once again take charge of the overall situation and distribute benefits.
Therefore, of course, Ximen Sheng, Li Zehe and others soon started a fierce competition. Both sides were extremely ambitious and wanted to take over all the benefits and opportunities at the same time, and neither was willing to hand over any benefits or opportunities.
The other side naturally refuses to give in to each other.
In the end, after an hour-long fierce battle, both sides spent a lot of words and energy, and in the end, each could only take a step back.
The investigation of the Jianzhou Jurchen suspicions is still in the hands of Ximen Sheng, and West Road Counselor Huang Shenming is in charge of assisting. After all, when Zhao Junchen handed over this matter to Ximen Sheng just now, Li Zehe and others did not express their position in time.
If you want to express your opposition now, you don't have enough confidence.
As for rewards and punishments for merits and demerits, as well as rewards for the entire army, Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu Ya are still responsible for it. The reason is also very good, that is, Ximen Sheng does not have the energy and ability to do two things well at the same time.
This distribution may seem like there is no change, but in fact it is completely different.
Ximen Sheng, Li Zehe and others all stayed behind due to mutual precautions and distrust.
Although Ximen Sheng is still responsible for investigating the relationship between Jianzhou Jurchens and the group of kidnappers, the results of the investigation must be recognized by all Liaodong generals before any follow-up matters can be carried out.
In the same way, the rewards and punishments for the merits and demerits of Li Zehe, Gan Cheng, and Xu Ya, as well as the rewards for the entire army, must be reviewed by all the Liaodong generals before they can be announced to the entire army.
In short, the two forces are still in a state of mutual restraint.
And this result was not only expected by Zhao Junchen, but also what Zhao Junchen expected to see.

After the Liaodong generals finally came to the conclusion of their argument, Zhao Junchen, who had been watching coldly for an hour, finally spoke again with a calm expression: "I summoned you today. Originally, I just wanted to inquire about the progress of the situation. I never thought it would be...
It caused so many things and took so long. It was really asking for trouble...
Now that everything has been agreed upon, all the generals have heavy tasks ahead, so there is no need to stay here. You can go about your own business... Again, I don't want to interfere with your Liaodong town.
However, if the situation changes or progresses, I hope that the generals can inform me in time so that I can be aware of it!"
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, the Liaodong generals looked at each other and could only obey the order and leave.
But when they said goodbye and left, the generals of Liaodong Town still had doubts in their hearts. They only felt that Zhao Junchen's summons had no beginning or end today, and he might have other motives, or even harbor evil intentions.
Especially Ximen Sheng, who always felt that he was trapped in a situation at this time, was full of uneasiness.
However, all the Liaodong generals were unable to guess the truth as to what Zhao Junchen's real intention was.
Therefore, when the Liaodong generals turned to leave, most of them couldn't help but secretly observe Zhao Junchen, but Zhao Junchen's expression was calm, leaving them with nothing to gain.
After all the Liaodong generals left the camp, Zhao Junchen finally sneered on his face.
"In the final analysis, they are just a group of warriors. No matter how smart they are, no matter how cautious they are, no matter how careful they are, they are still too young in terms of tactics and scheming... If the method I used this time falls on Emperor Deqing,
In the eyes of Zhou Shangjing and others, they will definitely be exposed at a glance, but it is enough to deal with these border warriors!"
While muttering to himself, Zhao Junchen's expression kept sneering, but he was not proud at all. Instead, he had already begun to think about his next plan.
In fact, Ximen Sheng's hunch was right. Zhao Junchen indeed set a trap for him this time and pushed him to jump in!
Zhao Junchen summoned the Liaodong generals this time for two purposes.
One is to take the opportunity to create rumors and throw dirty water on Ximen Sheng, so that Ximen Sheng will lose sight of one thing in order to maintain his own prestige. He can only be forced to agree to investigate the suspicion of Jianzhou Jurchen, and then take the opportunity to further force Ximen Sheng to agree on rewards and punishments.
, the matter of rewarding the entire army also promoted the change in the situation in Liaodong Town!
The second is to take the opportunity to guide Ximen Sheng's thinking logic, so that Ximen Sheng, who used to wholeheartedly safeguard He Yu's authority and never formed a clique, was forced to compete with Li Zehe and others for power and abandon his previous practices.
Like Li Zehe and others, he began to actively win over allies and suppress dissidents!
Once Ximen Sheng starts to form cliques, buy alliances, and suppress dissidents, it seems that he can increase his power and influence in the short term... But the dirty water Zhao Junchen poured on him can no longer be washed away!
