Chapter 640 Chapter 642 Seeking an Interview
"We fought hard to get him the opportunity to garrison a place. Now at this critical moment, he does something like this. Isn't that a bad thing?" Zhu Tianliang asked in an incredulous tone.
Cui Lie was a man of high talent and good foundation. After returning to the capital to resume his military post, he made many outstanding contributions in just a few months and was promoted out of turn. His military rank was raised again and again. After he was awarded the rank of major general, Zhu Tianliang planned for him to be appointed the position of commander of the garrison corps.
"Weren't you worried before that he wouldn't be able to take on the responsibility of garrisoning a place? Besides, Cui Lie doesn't seem to be very interested in this matter!" Zhao Bing said cautiously.
"I was worried before that he didn't have the experience to coordinate the overall situation, but he is still young. He will gain experience through some experience. I have already selected the people who will assist him in governing the territory. Now that he has done this, my plans have all gone down the drain." Zhu Tianliang looked grim.
He really was training Cui Lie as his successor, but Cui Lie didn't seem to have much interest in political power. He was too arbitrary in doing things and sometimes ignored the consequences, which gave Zhu Tianliang a headache.
"Commander, actually this matter may not be without room for reversal." Zhao Bing handed over a secret letter, which he had just received.
Zhu Tianliang took the secret letter and glanced at it, his expression changed, "Is this true? Who sent it? Is it reliable?"
"The signal intercepted at Mengjia Bay was sent by Tao Li to General Cheng Ying of the Second Corps. The Mengjia Bay side went to Qiming Mountain to verify its safety. Judging from General Cheng's reaction, he should think that Tao Li's inference is reasonable." Zhao Bing said.
"So that's how it is." Zhu Tianliang nodded thoughtfully.
"Commander, if we can win over Rong Xianxian, wouldn't it be worth it even if we lose this promising territory?" Zhao Bing said.
"Impossible. President Jingyuan is about to return to Beijing. If he dares to tell Rong Xianxian about this, he must have already made an agreement with Rong Xianxian. There is no way she will switch to our side!" Zhu Tianliang understood President Jingyuan's methods.
"Cui Lie violated military orders in order to save her. Given Rong Xianxian's personality, it is impossible for her to just ignore Cui Lie's matter. I estimate that she will come to us soon. We can test her then. What do you think, Commander?" Zhao Bing suggested.
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard came to report that Rong Xianxian wanted to see him.
Zhao Bing and Commander Zhu exchanged glances.
"Please ask her to wait in the reception room and treat her well. I'll be there in a moment." Zhao Bing said to the guard. Seeing that Commander Zhu had no objection, the guard took the order and left.
"Rong Xianxian arrived quite quickly. She must be here for Cui Lie's matter. Commander, I will go and bring her in. We need to take Cui Lie's matter seriously." Zhao Bing discussed with Commander Zhu.
"She must have gone to the United Front Work Committee before coming here. We don't need to say much. Let's first see what she wants." Zhu Tianliang thought for a moment.
"Okay, I'll go get her in then."
Soon, Zhao Bing brought Rong Xianxian over.
This was the first time that Rong Xianxian met a leader of this level. Perhaps because of her high level of cultivation and the fact that she had seen more situations, Rong Xianxian was calm and fearless when facing Zhu Tianliang.
Rong Xianxian was not a bureaucrat and did not speak in official language. She went straight to the point and took out a document and asked Zhu Tianliang to take a look. Zhu Tianliang saw that the main meaning of the document was that Cui Lie's trip to Guxizhou was a dispatch order issued by the United Front Work Committee, and Cui Lie was ordered to meet Rong Xianxian. The official seal of Jingyuan of the United Front Work Committee was stamped at the bottom of the document. As long as Zhu Tianliang signed and confirmed it, Cui Lie would not be considered to have acted privately this time.
