The appearance of an officer who was so capable of fighting appeared in the Eighth Route Army, which immediately made the Central Army want to bribe him.

And once poaching is successful, it will be a huge blow to the Eighth Route Army.

The Central Army immediately collected a large amount of intelligence about Zhao Zhiguo, and then sent people to carry it on their backs, preparing to contact Zhao Zhiguo.

Zhao Zhiguo himself is naturally not interested in other people's ideas.

Pingcheng is not only carrying out large-scale construction projects, but also expanding its military strength.

Zhao Zhiguo, Matthew Wen and Tian Kezhi were all very busy.

"No, if this continues, I will be dead!" Zhao Zhiguo said.

Recently, the average rest time in Zhao Zhiguo's day is less than four hours, and a lot of hair is falling out.

If this continues, Zhao Zhiguo's hair will run away from home.

"Regiment leader, political commissar, I still suggest that the government should be returned to the people and managed by our troops alone. It is really not feasible, and we don't know much about many local conditions in Pingcheng."

This is the first time for Zhao Zhiguo and others to govern a relatively large city.

Moreover, the city is in dire need of development. If a person in charge of military affairs is allowed to govern a city, although there will be no big mistakes, the development potential will certainly not be stimulated.

"Old Zhao, why don't you call Li Jingming?" Matthew Wen suggested.

In fact, Zhao Zhiguo does not intend to reuse Li Jingming.

In Pingcheng under the control of the Japanese army, Li Jingming could be said to control the entire secret force in Pingcheng.

These secret forces did not disappear because the Eighth Route Army captured Pingcheng.

Today, Li Jingming still secretly controls many people, and they still have weapons in their hands.

If Li Jingming is allowed to be Ping Chengming's spokesperson again, he will become the boss of the black and white factions.

Secretly, all of them are Li Jingming's people. If in certain functional departments, Li Jingming will arrange for his own people to control the power.

Li Jingming can completely cover the sky in Pingcheng with one hand.

As long as something unexpected happens and Li Jingming and Zhao Zhiguo are no longer on the same page, turmoil will break out in Pingcheng at any time.

After the people finally settled down, turmoil broke out, and all the previous efforts made by Zhao Zhiguo and others were in vain.

"Hey... Political Commissar, no! Power is too tempting. Li Jingming is not a person of faith."

No one with faith can resist the temptation of power, not to mention that Li Jingming comes from a martial arts background.

Once he is given the power of life and death in Pingcheng, will he still allow opposition to him in the city?

When the time comes, Li Jingming only needs to give an order and then mobilize people to resist Zhao Zhiguo. Will Zhao Zhiguo have the heart to attack ordinary people?

"How about I go talk to Li Jingming?" Matthew said.

"This is not something that cannot be discussed. Li Jingming has deployed people from all walks of life and is deeply rooted in Pingcheng. I don't even know how many people he controls!"

To be honest, Li Jingming was indeed a very good helper in Pingcheng under the rule of the Japs.

But now Zhao Zhiguo has become a serious problem at any time, because Zhao Zhiguo can't even figure out how many people the power secretly cultivated by Li Jingming has developed.

"Captain, you don't mean to attack Li Jingming, do you?"

Tian Kezhi was keenly aware of Zhao Zhiguo's thoughts.

Since their troops entered Pingcheng, Zhao Zhiguo has only encountered Li Jingming once.

It stands to reason that Li Jingming and his men made a huge contribution in the process of recovering Pingcheng.

If Li Jingming hadn't laid out plans in Pingcheng earlier, Zhao Zhiguo and the others would have suffered two to three thousand casualties in capturing Pingcheng.

"I think that the person who can hold on to himself under the rule of the Japanese army must have extraordinary national integrity." Matthew said.

Li Jingming was able to survive in the Japanese-occupied areas for so many years, at least he did not lose his bottom line as a Chinese, which is enough to be admired.

"Political commissar, you are proud of yourself. The more difficult times are, the more people will show their qualities, just like the plum blossoms in the cold winter, they are worthy of admiration, but what about once you live a comfortable life?"

On the way to the goal, a person can indeed endure all kinds of hardships.

What happens after you achieve your goal? After thinking about the hardships you have endured, your thoughts change and you become greedy for enjoyment.

"I won't do anything to him, nor will I reuse him!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "Let him continue to run Zuixiang Tower. When the day comes when he doesn't want to do it anymore, I will arrange for him to go to Anyang Town."

Zhao Zhiguo would not do anything like killing a donkey.

But for the sake of Pingcheng's stability, he would put Li Jingming under surveillance.

Now there are soldiers who retired due to injuries arranged by Zhao Zhiguo working in Zuixianglou. As long as Li Jingming does not announce the disbandment of his forces, Zhao Zhiguo will be wary of him.

So far, Li Jingming still has not shown an attitude, so Zhao Zhiguo left him aside in the cold.

In the work arrangements of the past few days, Zhao Zhiguo even sent troops to cut out Li Jingming's wings intentionally or unintentionally in the name of cracking down on gangs and evil.

No matter what Mao Wen and Tian Kezhi suggested, Zhao Zhiguo would not put Li Jingming into officialdom.

"Captain, if we keep focusing on the governance of Pingcheng, we will neglect the development of the army."

In times of war, the military always comes first.

If the army is not strong enough, how can we protect Pingcheng or bring peace to the people?

"It is better to follow the path of Wangxian County, select three people from the younger generation, and let them jointly decide the development of Pingcheng."

Zhao Zhiguo still insisted on his own ideas and removed Li Jingming from power.

Let Li Jingming take advantage of both black and white, and the people of Pingcheng will resent them in the future, and the Eighth Route Army will also lose the support of the people in Pingcheng.

"I suggest you talk to Li Jingming. No matter what he thinks, we must tell him our thoughts." Tian Kezhi said.

If the matter is explained clearly, if Li Jingming is willing to cooperate, anything can be said easily.

If Li Jingming still acts like he doesn't know what to do, they will be prepared.

Of course, Pingcheng cannot leave any hidden dangers.

Once Pingcheng has enough troops, they will definitely attack Jinyang.

The city is unstable, how can Zhao Zhiguo fight against the Japs with peace of mind?

"Let me go and talk. I guess Li Jingming has some grudges against our leader now," Matthew said.

Zhao Zhiguo ignored Li Jingming for such a long time. Li Jingming must have had other ideas in his mind.

Matthew is also engaged in ideological work, and this is also his job.

Li Jingming also did not expect that the once prosperous Zuixiang Tower would now be deserted.

The Eighth Route Army has strict military discipline, unlike the little devils and puppet soldiers who go to restaurants for entertainment when they have nothing to do.

Since Zhao Zhiguo led his troops to station in Pingcheng, no one has visited the restaurant anymore.

If there are no more customers to come and spend money, Zuixiang Restaurant will soon be closed down.

"It seems that that money is really going to become my pension."

The list in the basement had been taken away by Zhao Zhiguo. The list only recorded the personnel of the puppet army in Pingcheng at that time, and did not record how many people he had under his command.
