Chapter 24: Coping strategies

The court wanted to withdraw military power, but the news reached Jiaozhou. Li Zhongshui couldn't sit still in an instant. Such a thing was that the court was dissatisfied with him. Now that the military power was withdrawn, it touched the bottom line.

Li Zhongsai was better than the governor of Jiaozhou Prefecture and led the seven counties of Jiaozhou: Nanhai, Cangwu, Hepu, Yulin, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan, and Zhuyazhou.

Li Zhongsue is now 60 years old and has resisted the Southern Barbarians many times. The Jiuzhen and Rinan counties were led by Li Zhongsue to lead troops. Now Deng Huang and Deng Hui have to put aside their military power in one sentence. Such news is unacceptable to Li Zhongsue from the bottom of his heart. Even if Deng Huang stands in front of him, he must consider such a ridiculous thing. After all, Jiaozhou that he has worked hard to manage cannot be handed over so simply.

Li Zhongshui has spent half his life here in the capital of Jiaozhi. Except for when Deng Yu ascended the throne and Li Zhongshui went to Sili, he has never taken a step forward in Jiaozhou. He has also implemented orders that are greater than the court, and has never made any mistakes. At this time, he said that he wanted to give up his military power himself. Such a thing made Li Zhongshui feel a little overwhelmed.

"What do you think of adults?" It was raining outside the door, which was exactly the same as Li Zhongshui's mood now.

The person who came was not someone else, was born with a majestic weapon and was well-read. This person was Li Zhongshui's nephew Li Run. This person was actually a young talent, and his literary talent and martial arts were not inferior to Li Zhongshui. Now he is Li Zhongshui's deputy general, and Li Zhongshui also regards him as his own. In Li Zhongshui's eyes, Li Run is already a real son.

"You are here!" Li Zhongshui glanced at Li Run inadvertently and continued to pace back and forth in his hall. His expression was complicated and his heart was mixed.

"Uncle, I think you shouldn't be so worried now. It's better to appreciate the heavy rain in Jiaozhi. As for things that are greater than the court, let's just let it go!" Li Run said, wanting Li Zhongsai to have a good rest and don't worry about this.

"What are you saying? I am the governor of Jiaozhou. Now the court has issued an order to cooperate with Deng Hui to eliminate these rebels. According to the court, this matter is better than the time to revise. If we say so, we should release some of the military power!" Li Zhongshui sighed and said.

Li Run smiled, and his ambition was inevitably revealed on his face: "Since Uncle said that, you can reply to Deng Hui directly. Now I will hand over half of the military power in Jiaozhou. The rest of the uncle is just waiting for Deng Hui to come to our Jiaozhou land and then just talk about it!"

Li Zhongshui was shocked and looked back at his nephew. Such words were simple, but he really had no idea how to start, let alone draft a reply to Deng Hui.

The two of them looked at each other, and Li Zhongshui continued to remain silent. Seeing the rain outside, it became heavier. The whole Li family seemed to be in these words, a little heavy.

Li Run didn't say anything and looked at his uncle. He could understand such things. It was his uncle's wish to be able to live a peaceful life without any reason. However, the descendants behind him looked at him, and it was a major problem to grasp these things like this.

At this moment, Li Zhongsen's eldest son Li Ru came in and looked at his father and his cousin Li Run.

"Dad! I'm here too!" Li Ru came in to salute his father, and Li Run quickly stood up and greeted Li Ru.

"What are you doing? Why don't you tell me what you are talking about?" Li Ru said, holding the fruits and vegetables on the table and eating them. Looking at his father, his eyes seemed to be unable to notice anything.

In this scene, Li Zhongshui looked at his nephew and son. The difference between the two was self-evident. Li Zhongshui put on his sleeves, then walked towards the middle of the lobby, sitting in his own seat.

"Tell me how to reply to the instructions given to me by the court now!" Li Zhongshui closed her eyes and the maid brought a cup of tea.

"Brother, tell me first!" Li Run glanced at Li Ru and hid it first.

Li Ru clapped his hands, regardless of so much: "Now, he is a criticism of himself. I think it is a fool to take advantage of his father's military power. My Li family in Jiaozhou will not say anything else, at least it is much more stable than the court that is greater than this. If it is the Emperor and Queen, my Jiaozhou is also from the Deng family, but the emperor of the Deng family is equal. Now Deng Huang and Deng Hui are using the emperor to order the princes to do things like this. I think neither Jiaozhou nor the remaining three states will agree!" Li Ru said, a little excited. Li Zhongshui quietly looked at his son to express his opinions, and then asked Li Run to quickly talk about his opinion.

"What my brother said is that now the morale of the court is unstable, and internal and external troubles are probably Deng Huang's expedient measures. In this way, the military power of the governors of various places is in the hands of the central government. In this way, Deng Huang can fully quell the internal treasons, and then let these local governments attack external troubles. In this way, Deng Huang's hands are always his own personal soldiers, and his rise to power will be a simple thing." Li Run said with a smile, as if analyzing these things is just a little bit of a matter. Li Zhongshui had to trust his nephew's judgment more.

"What my third brother said!" Li Ru said while eating and talking about Li Run's benefits.

"You only know how to eat and learn more from your third brother. Now is not the time for you to play with it casually!" Li Zhongshui said to his son sternly.

Li Run looked at Li Ru, not worried that such an older brother would steal his position. Li Run's target was his uncle's position as the governor of Jiaozhou. In this way, he would be the military and armor side, and how he would do things at that time depends on his mood.

"My younger brother is taught well by my aunt. I am already in good shape now. I have already led the soldiers of the four counties of Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin and Hepu to train myself well!" Li Ru beat him up.

Li Zhongshui didn't scold him much. Anyway, his hope was already on Li Run. Li Zhongshui thought about it for a long time and then it was Li Run's idea.

It was time for there to be no news above, and Li Zhongshui completely ignored Deng Huang's orders. Unless he, Deng Hui, could come to the city to ask for the military power of Jiaozhou, or the emperor came to tell him about this matter, otherwise this matter would not be possible.

In the middle of the night, the rain became much lighter, and Li Run came to Li Zhongsai's mansion again.

"Is my nephew sleeping yet?" Li Zhongshui looked at his nephew and was a little surprised.

"Uncle, I want to talk to you about something!"
