Li Hui said in a deep voice: "Marshal Wang, you should be grateful for your help, so as not to embark on a road of no return. No one will know the truth about Magistrate Lu's death, and my men don't know who killed him.
What I told them was also done by the lake bandits. So, you don’t need to worry. In addition, after the lake bandits are wiped out, I will report to the court to show your merits. I will give Marshal Wang and Deputy Marshal Zhou official appointments and officially obtain the imperial court
This county is a resettled county. Except for the county magistrate and county magistrate, there are no candidates for other official positions such as county lieutenant and chief registrar. I will ask the court to appoint Marshal Wang as the county lieutenant and Deputy Marshal Zhou as the registrar.
In this way, everything will be justified. From now on, how much space you will have after obtaining an official status depends on your own destiny. What I can do is to give you this opportunity to be recognized by the court. Of course, the premise is
, we must solve the problem of lake bandits. Otherwise, there will be nothing to say."
Wang Guangzu's eyes flashed with light. He had been completely moved by Li Hui's words. Because Li Hui's words were completely reasonable and a feasible way. As long as the banditry was eliminated, he would make a contribution. Li Hui used the power of the imperial officials to
There is absolutely nothing wrong with reporting the matter with your identity and making recommendations. In terms of merit and rewards, it is absolutely no problem to be a county captain or something.
But Wang Guangzu felt a little unwilling. The official position of county captain was too small. Although he was in charge of the armed forces of a county, he was under the county magistrate. In other words, he would have to take orders from Li Hui in the future, which was unpleasant.
"We can cooperate with you to deal with Feng Heizi and the others. However, after the matter is completed, I want to be a county magistrate. I am not interested in being a county captain or anything like that. I must at least be a county magistrate." Wang Guangzu said solemnly.
Li Hui frowned and said: "I don't have any objection to Marshal Wang being the county magistrate. However, the appointment of the county magistrate needs to be conferred by the court and appointed by the staff. I am a small county magistrate, and it doesn't matter if I am a county captain or something like that.
It's not difficult to get an official position. What I tell you is the truth. If I deliberately deceive you, just nod your head and agree. But I can't deceive you with empty promises."
Wang Guangzu sneered and said: "It's easy to handle. After annihilating Feng Heizi's gang, you can report to the court on our behalf and ask the court to appoint me as the county magistrate. If the court agrees, that's it. If not, hey, I don't care. I don't care.
I have men and horses in my hands, and I am the King of Heaven here. If the imperial court dares to send new county magistrates, they will kill one, or two of them. At worst, I will take my brothers and occupy the water village, and still turn Juchao County upside down.
You can’t live in peace.”
Li Hui said in astonishment: "Marshal Wang, doesn't that mean he has become a gangster?"
Wang Guangzu shouted: "So what? I don't care."
Li Hui sighed and said: "Well, in that case, I will boldly agree. Maybe the court will agree to grant the official because of the achievements in suppressing the bandits. If not, I will ask the Lu family to speak for you in the court. In fact, the official position of county magistrate is not
It’s not big, and the court should not object.”
Wang Guangzu laughed and said: "Okay, Mr. Li Xiancheng is a cheerful man, that's it. I believe you won't lie to me. If you lie to me, don't blame me, Wang Guangzu, for being ruthless. When the time comes, I will send you there.
See Lu Zhan, you came together, but you have to leave together."
This was said to be extremely rude, and Li Hui was extremely angry. But at this moment, he could only give in to it. The most important thing at the moment was to stabilize this group of people pragmatically. This would not only ensure his own safety, but also make use of their strength.
Manpower to fight against the Feng Heizi gang. Both are threats, so I need to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger for my use.
As for Wang Guangzu's request, Li Hui had already vetoed it from the bottom of his heart. It was absolutely impossible for this guy to be a county magistrate. He killed Lu Zhan, which was intolerable. Besides, he was a county magistrate, so how could he be with him?
Failure? Instead, you are controlled by this person? This is absolutely impossible.
The best result at the moment is that Wang Muzhi will send his troops to control the situation after receiving his letter. Then the situation may change. But Li Hui believes that Wang Muzhi may not send troops. He must be prepared to fight alone
Mental preparation to deal with it all.
"Marshal Wang, Deputy Marshal Zhou. My life is in your hands. You can come and take it at any time. But since we have reached an agreement to jointly fight against the Feng Heizi gang, we should put aside all other thoughts and think about how to eliminate them together."
If they can't make contributions, everything will be in vain. If they can't eliminate the gangs, no one will be able to live in peace. So, we'd better discuss this matter carefully." Li Hui said in a deep voice.
Zhou Che nodded and said: "Commander, I think what Li Xiancheng said is right. Now we have to think about how to deal with Feng Heizi and his gang. After last night, the matter has become imminent. Marshal was also injured by the gangsters last night.
, my subordinates also lost more than a dozen brothers. How can we stand on our own if we don’t take revenge?"
Wang Guangzu nodded slowly and said: "That's true. However, I'm afraid this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. We currently only have more than a hundred people. Although Feng Heizi and his group only have more than a hundred people, they occupy the advantage of the terrain and are entrenched in the middle of the lake.
On the island. Moreover, we don’t even have enough food to eat now, and our brothers don’t have the strength to fight. They have been here for many years, and it seems that they have enough food and supplies. In this case, do we want to take the initiative to attack the island? Isn’t that an egg?
Hitting a rock?"
Zhou Che pinched his chin and nodded: "That's true. Li Xian Cheng, what do you think?"
Wang Guangzu said coldly: "What can he think? He knows how to fight? He only has seven or eight people under his command, so he can't help at all. He doesn't have any food or supplies. He said we are cooperating against Feng Heizi, why don't we just go all out? I
I've already seen it."
Li Hui frowned and said: "Marshal Wang, you can't say that. Three shoemakers can stand up to Zhuge Liang. Although I don't have many people, fighting a war does not necessarily rely entirely on strength, but also on brains."
Wang Guangzu looked at Li Hui with disdain and sneered: "Then, how about asking Li County Cheng to come up with a clever plan for us?"
Li Hui pondered: "There is no good way at the moment."
Wang Guangzu sneered.
Li Hui ignored Wang Guangzu's attitude and said in a deep voice: "You two, let's each think of a way. In three days, we will discuss the specific action strategy. Maybe we can come up with some strategies by then. I can also go around.
Go, investigate the enemy's situation, and know yourself and the enemy."
Wang Guangzu laughed and stood up and said: "Very good. In three days' time, I'll listen to what Prime Minister Li has to say. Farewell!"
Wang Guangzu strode away, and Zhou Che walked past Li Hui and whispered: "Li Xian Cheng, if you want to investigate the enemy's situation, I can take my brothers to accompany you."
Li Hui smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Deputy Commander Zhou, that would be the best."
Zhou Che nodded and said, "Farewell!"
Li Hui said loudly: "Congratulations to Marshal Wang and Deputy Marshal Zhou!"
…
It was late at night, and Li Hui was lying on the bed looking at the dark roof. The cold wind was howling outside, but it was very warm inside.
After meeting Wang Guangzu and Zhou Che, when he returned to the back room, Ah Zhu lit a brazier in the room, and the room was already very warm.
Moreover, when Li Hui went to bed, he obviously felt that the quilt was softer and more comfortable to lie on. Li Hui turned over the quilt and found that Ah Zhu had put a straw curtain on the bed after all.
Li Hui thought, this little girl is quite insistent. But the effect is indeed very good. The straw curtain has a good effect of keeping warm, but there will be some rustling sound when turning over.
Li Hui was lying on the bed, thinking about the meeting with Wang Guangzu and others, and thinking about the next plan.
Regarding the eradication of the Feng Heizi gang, there is no time to delay. If this gang is not eradicated, there will be no possibility of further action.
This gang of gangsters is a knife hanging over their heads. They may come into the city at any time and kill you. If you want to gain a foothold here, you must resolve this matter as soon as possible.
The situation of the people and refugees in the city is not optimistic either. They are already struggling with hunger and cold, and they must find a way to resettle them as soon as possible. Otherwise, some people will soon freeze to death and starve to death.
Now that I have come to Juchao County, I must open up the situation as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will eventually have to leave in despair, or die here.
At first, when he learned that there were lake bandits entrenched here, Li Hui was actually very unwilling to take this big risk in Juchao County. So he tried to persuade Lu Zhan to give up along the way to avoid entering this dangerous place.
in the situation.
But after Lu Zhan was killed, Li Hui had no idea of leaving. First, Lu Zhan's death aroused Li Hui's inner anger and stubbornness, which in turn aroused his fighting spirit. Second, the people in the city
The emergence of the refugee armed forces made the whole matter feasible. As long as there was any room for maneuver, Li Hui would not give up. This was forced by the current situation and also due to his character.
That's why Li Huicai chose to stay, risking huge risks to move carefully in a small space, and making use of Wang Guangzu and others' unfulfilled hopes for the court. To this day, it can be said that he has achieved satisfactory results.
The effect. Wang Guangzu and others are willing to cooperate in annihilating the Feng Heizi gang, and his plan to drive away wolves and swallow tigers has been half successful. Moreover, at least for now, the lives of himself and others are not in danger.
But if the gangsters led by Feng Heizi cannot be eliminated, everything will be in vain. As for how to destroy the Feng Heizi gang, Li Hui really has no idea. Li Hui does not understand military affairs, let alone how to fight. But even if he does not understand fighting,
Li Hui also knew that it was not a good idea to attack the lake bandit's water stronghold, as it would be an act of death. This matter indeed requires careful planning, otherwise it may be self-defeating.
