Huang Ke was thoughtful and felt that Zhao Junchen's words were always very knowledgeable.
At the same time, Zhao Junchen glanced at Shi Cheng again, feeling a little regretful.
Zhao Junchen admired Shi Cheng very much and believed that his ability, bravery, dexterity, etc. were all outstanding. Among the younger generation of military talents Zhao Junchen had seen, his comprehensive ability was second only to Qi Bin and better than Zhang Chengxun.
.
Zhao Junchen had originally imagined taking Shi City for his own use, but various unexpected changes occurred frequently, and Zhao Junchen was forced to use a backup plan. He Yu died unexpectedly, and Zhao Junchen was indeed He Yu.
The mastermind behind his death.
This means that the conflict between Zhao Junchen and Shi Cheng will no longer be able to be reconciled.
Therefore, just like Zhao Shancai and Qi Bin in the past, Zhao Junchen could only "give up in pain" when faced with such a young talent that threatened him and had a promising future.
Thinking that he had to witness the fall of a good talent with his own eyes, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, but he had gradually become accustomed to this kind of thing.
After hearing Zhao Junchen's sigh, Huang Ke was slightly startled and asked: "Why did Zhao Junchen sigh?"
After Zhao Junchen was silent for a moment, he said quietly: "In this world, there will always be various contradictions. Some contradictions are due to face, some are due to interests, and some are due to hatred...
However, as long as you are determined, you can find ways to resolve these conflicts. For conflicts caused by face issues, you only need to find a way to find a way for the other party to escape. For conflicts caused by hatred, you only need to find a way to escape.
It's better to be more sincere when apologizing and give the other party more compensation. For conflicts arising from conflicting interests, just sit down and negotiate patiently and distribute the benefits again...
During this period of time, what I have done in Liaodong seems to have caused a lot of commotion and intensified the conflicts between myself and Liaodong Town. However, these conflicts are all caused by face, hatred, and interests.
, so it seems that I am walking a tightrope, but in fact I can resolve the conflict at any time and withdraw. At most, I will only lose some face and interests, and it will not harm the foundation.
However, there are only two contradictions that cannot be resolved no matter what. Mr. Huang, which two contradictions do you think they are?"
Huang Ke didn't understand why Zhao Junchen suddenly talked about this kind of thing, but he still thought carefully for a moment and replied: "The official can only think of one thing, and that is the contradiction between ideas and ideals! This contradiction must be
If it cannot be resolved and eased, it will only become more intense, and you will live and die... But apart from that, there are other conflicts that cannot be resolved no matter what, I can't imagine it."
After hearing Huang Ke's answer, the shadows of Zhao Shancai and Qi Bin appeared in Zhao Junchen's mind again, and in front of him was the look of Huang Ke sincerely asking for advice.
Afterwards, Zhao Junchen nodded slightly and said: "The contradiction stemming from ideas and ideals is indeed irresolvable, leaving only life and death! As for the second irresolvable contradiction mentioned by this pavilion, it stems from... despair
!”
As he spoke, Zhao Junchen glanced at Shi Cheng again.
Seeing Zhao Junchen's performance, Huang Ke also turned his attention to Shi Cheng.
Then, Huang Ke discovered that Shi Cheng had been exuding an aura of despair ever since he saw He Yu's body.
Once human beings fall into despair, they will often evolve into two completely different manifestations, either falling into self-destruction and being unable to extricate themselves, or falling into desperate madness and determination.
As for Shi Cheng, this person will inevitably evolve into the latter situation.
After thinking about this, Huang Ke immediately understood Zhao Junchen's thoughts, shook his head and sighed: "Shi Cheng is the best choice in all aspects of ability, but he is too stupid and loyal."
Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "It would be fine if he was just foolish and loyal, but his abilities in all aspects are the best. Combining the two would be very dangerous... It is such a pity..."
Huang Ke once again understood Zhao Junchen's thoughts and said softly: "Zhao Gechen, please rest assured that as long as you can successfully tame the military leaders in Liaodong Town, I will definitely look for opportunities to have a serious discussion with them about Shicheng."
, we will never let the existence of Shi Cheng threaten Zhao Gechen."
Zhao Junchen nodded lightly and was about to say something more when he suddenly saw Huang Shenming hurried back into the dense forest, his expression full of anxiety and grief.
Huang Shenming's behavior was naturally not without reason. He conveyed two new messages to Zhao Junchen and others.
First, under Liu Xiong's personal tracking, the dead soldiers of the Wu family in Shanhaiguan who were lurking near the camp were finally unable to escape and were arrested one after another.
However, since these dead soldiers are called "dead soldiers" and have Wu Sangui's complete trust, choosing them to carry out the key task of assassinating He Yu is naturally loyal and not afraid of death.
Therefore, after these dead soldiers of the Wu family were surrounded by Liu Xiong's troops and saw that they were unable to escape, they did not hesitate to take poison and committed suicide one after another. Of the thirty dead soldiers, not a single one was left alive!
As a result, Liu Xiong was naturally unable to torture and interrogate the goals and missions of these dead soldiers, as well as the masterminds behind them.
But in fact, there is no need to torture and interrogate at all.
Zhao Junchen is a careerist, and Wu Sangui is also a careerist. When the two wanted to assassinate He Yu, many of their methods were quite tacit.
Before carrying out the mission to assassinate He Yu, in order to eliminate the suspicion of the Wu family in Shanhaiguan, the dead men of the Wu family shaved off most of their hair, leaving only a small amount of hair on the back of the head, and then braided the remaining hair into a jianjing.
The unique pigtail braid of the state Jurchen!
In short, Wu Sangui also wanted to put the blame for He Yu's assassination on the Jianzhou Jurchen.
After hearing the news, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but feel happy and suspicious.
"Happy" because this situation will help Zhao Junchen promote follow-up plans; "suspicious" because Zhao Junchen feels that these evidences are too obvious and are most likely just deliberately left by people with ulterior motives.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Zhao Junchen had vaguely guessed the truth of some things, and thought that the Wu family in Shanhaiguan might be quite suspicious.
However, not everyone is as keen and suspicious as Zhao Junchen.
After seeing these pigtailed corpses, most of the soldiers in Liaodong Town, including Liu Xiong, became increasingly convinced that it was the Jianzhou Jurchens who planned and led the conspiracy to kidnap and kill He Yu!
As a result, the soldiers in Liaodong Town became increasingly angry and asked for war to attack and retaliate against the Jianzhou Jurchens!
Regarding this situation, Zhao Junchen was naturally happy to see the outcome, and in an instant he conceived and completed several means of fishing in troubled waters.
As for the second news brought by Huang Shenming, it is even more important.
That is, after receiving the news, Bandit He had already led various generals from Liaodong Town and 5,000 frontier soldiers to turn back in a hurry. They are now only ten miles away from the camp and will return to the camp soon.
What Huang Shenming meant was that he hoped that Zhao Junchen could personally greet He Bandi and several Liaodong Town generals, so that it would be easier to influence the attitudes and emotions of He Bandit and others.
After Zhao Junchen thought for a moment, he quickly nodded, then got up and walked out of the dense forest.
On the other side, Shi Cheng also heard the relevant news and stopped kneeling next to He Yu's body. Like Zhao Junchen, he stood up and strode out of the dense forest.

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Outside Hujiazhuang, when they saw that the Liaodong Town army was about to win a complete victory, they suddenly and hurriedly withdrew their troops without hesitation. Fang Zhenshan and Wu Shilin were overjoyed, but they couldn't help but be confused. They didn't know that Liaodong
What happened to the town?
At this time, when the Liaodong Cavalry and Guan Ning Cavalry were fighting, a prisoner of the Liaodong Cavalry who was "accidentally captured" suddenly shouted and expressed his true identity, saying that his true identity was Zhao Junchen's bodyguard, the Forbidden Army Hundred Households Jiang
Quan, he was captured by the Guan Ning Cavalry this time intentionally. He brought the news about Zhao Junchen and wanted to meet Fang Zhenshan and Wu Shilin.
After receiving the news, Fang Zhenshan and Wu Shilin did not dare to neglect and hurriedly met with Jiang Quan.
Because of Li Chuanwen and Niu Fude, Fang Zhenshan and Wu Shilin quickly confirmed Jiang Quan's identity, and naturally they did not doubt the authenticity of Jiang Quan's complaint.
Then, Jiang Quan relayed Zhao Junchen's various explanations to Fang Zhenshan, Wu Shilin and others, and then revealed two crucial pieces of information to them!
First, Wu Yingxiong, the governor of Jiliao, has now led a large number of Guanning cavalry to appear in Liaodong and is running rapidly towards Hujiazhuang. However, Ximen Sheng has personally rushed to intercept, hoping to delay Wu Yingxiong's action.
Secondly, when Liaodong Town was making an emergency withdrawal, Jiang Quan vaguely seemed to hear Li Shijie's exclamation.
The specific content of that exclamation was - "General He is dead!?"
