Chapter 411: Giving Choices
Li De was unable to determine whether the other party was saying true or not, so he asked: "Have your mother been imprisoned by Asunagil?"
"Yes, all I can do is protect her safety, now that I have lost my value, my mother will be in a dangerous situation."
"You have the opportunity to go out, and the choice is up to you." Li De said lightly.
After saying that, he did not stay in the cell to give the other party a chance to continue talking.
Zhang Chuchen was waiting at the door. She heard the conversation between the two and asked in confusion: "Do you think what he said is the truth?"
"I don't know, whether the truth is not that important, isn't it?" Li De said calmly.
When Zhang Chuchen learned about the incident of Mr. Jinlou, he wanted to find out the other party's background, but the result was not as she wished. Now it seems that this person is really insignificant.
"Since it doesn't matter, what are you going to do to bring him back?" Zhang Chuchen said even more puzzled.
"I always feel that something is hidden behind this person. Perhaps it is this curiosity of exploration that makes me want to know the truth." Li Dedao.
"He doesn't plan to cooperate," Zhang Chuchen said.
"I will cooperate." Li De said with certainty.
After the two left, they didn't see Mr. Jinlou again for many days, as if there was no such person.
Zhang Chuchen was convinced of Li De's words and did not question Mr. Jinlou again.
Li De really put aside the matter of Young Master Jinlou. After the Battle of Youzhou, the vanguard troops took the initiative to attack the Turkic tribe, and their military achievements had just been passed back.
Originally, they wanted to be rewarded, but later the incidents of Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou becoming bandits were reported one after another, and then the instructions from the Ministry of War came down.
The vanguard will capture the rebel leader within three months, and if the vanguard will fail, the vanguard will be immediately abolished.
"Governor, what does Your Majesty mean? It's not that we have trained elite soldiers for three years, and now we have asked us to arrest Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou. They may have returned to Zhangshui long ago, and will our Youzhou City still be guarding?"
Wei Li said indignantly, and almost named His Majesty who was deliberately targeting them.
"It's just the matter of whether to guard or not!" He Bida explained.
"What does it mean?" Wei Li asked.
"Your Majesty's meaning should be to let us give up the defense of Youzhou City." He Bida said.
"Then where are we training troops?" Wei Li asked in confusion.
Li De was thinking that the emperor's meaning was very clear to let them make a choice, and their recruitment of troops would be convenient. When they left Youzhou and went to Zhangshui, there would be enough soldiers.
But when they return to Youzhou, they are not as their masters, but as their garrison. It is a problem to be able to bring people into the city.
He is worthy of being an emperor, with meticulous thinking, and a decision can make them fall into difficulties.
It's just a problem, not a desperate situation. All the vanguard soldiers left Youzhou City. If they invade and lose Youzhou City again, they will take responsibility together.
If they do not leave and continue to control the defense of Youzhou City, the affairs of Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou will be his "tricking horseshoe", and the future affairs will definitely be targeted by the court.
The problem is how to choose, leaving some troops to garrison and the other to catch people. Don’t joke. Although their troops and horses are not very good, the two of them have deep roots in the Zhangshui River. When they go over, the number of troops they recruit will inevitably have an advantage.
He Bida has realized the problem and he has no choice but to say anything before Li De makes a decision.
"Yes, where will we train troops then?" He Bida pushed the question to Wei Li again and asked him to think about it himself.
"Governor, what should we do?" Shi Huaiyi asked.
"Youzhou City is in chaos. I don't want to give up here. However, the choice is not with me, but it depends on how you will choose."
Li De looked at everyone. It was very simple to maintain the establishment of the vanguard army in the current situation. It was just as long as it was done according to the court's wishes, and he really wanted to be someone else's puppet.
It just happened to be a good time to gather to make things clear to everyone. If it is really not possible for him, he will go back to Chang'an. Anyway, it is also great to be a rich man.
As for future dangers, he can prevent them in another way.
"It is your own choice to take a bright future or overcome all obstacles. I treat you as brothers, so I want to explain some things clearly. The vanguard soldiers are thinking about it as soon as they improve. Even if this crisis is resolved, what should we do with the next crisis? In fact, sometimes I envy Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou's freedom and freedom."
When Li De said this, no matter how stupid the person is, he could hear that there is another meaning in his words.
I envy the two rebels, and the few were a little surprised.
The meaning is obvious, but now is the choice of a bright future and overcoming obstacles.
"Governor, we martial artists don't know much about the great principles. We just want to take revenge. We will be the pioneer at the end of the war." Gao Cheng said with courtesy.
"Prince Gao must know that the future of returning to Chang'an is guaranteed, so you won't think about it?" Li De asked calmly.
"The last general is willing to advance and retreat with the vanguard." Gao Cheng continued.
"Well, no matter what happens in the future, as long as I, Li De, take charge of the vanguard soldiers for one day, you will definitely be the vanguard officer and lie down all enemies for the vanguard soldiers." Li De promised.
"The last general will take the order!" Gao Cheng clasped his fists again.
"Gao Cheng, you really have a good idea. I won't compete with you for the vanguard. The general is willing to serve as the guard of the central army and protect the governor carefully." Luo Song said.
Both of them have expressed their opinions that as for the vanguard officials, they are just a kind of statement, just like their meaning of loyalty.
"Governor, I am your loyal supporter. Can I be promoted?" Wei Li said.
This is too straightforward. Li De wants an official, but he is just a governor. He has no right to appoint other positions. Besides, they are not at that level, so they are discussing such things. They say in private that they are too ambitious.
If someone made a statement first, everyone would agree soon. As for whether Li De was sincere or not, he would not care. If someone objected to the most basic thing at present, things would be a different matter.
After the lieutenants left, Zhang Chuchen came in from behind the house.
If anyone disagrees, Zhang Chuchen, Luo Luo and others will not give them a chance. Li De is not a crazy person, and he will monitor those who do not want to stay in the Pioneer Army.
Wait for an opportunity to send someone back to Chang'an City.
He was not afraid of being expressed by others. With the situation of the vanguard, the court and the emperor knew very well that if he wanted to change his position, he could do it with just one word from the emperor.
Why make up reasons? Besides, the soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier. What’s wrong with him having ambition? He is not planning to join the throne.
To make clear what he meant, the purpose was to make the choice this time, and to follow his ideas. If it is really recruiting troops, it may cause dissatisfaction in the court.
