Chapter 153 The Trend
In order to avoid suspicion, Bai Xi only mentioned in his letter that he came to Xishan, and did not talk about the 16 words sent by Guan Shan in detail. The main reason is that they should avoid suspicion because of the matter of "respecting Chu".
After all, who will take the lead in Xishan? This is their internal family affairs, and it is not Qixingzhai's turn to interrupt.
However, even if Bai Xi didn't say it, Chu Tianya vaguely felt that Jiao Wentong refused to come to Xishan but turned to Taiyuan. On the one hand, it was out of his righteousness for Guanshan; on the other hand, he must have the taste of unwillingness to live under others.
Jiao Wentong's loneliness and arrogance, just like his unrivaled arrow, are equally distinct and outstanding.
"Brother, since Jiao Wentong's trip to Taiyuan is more and less auspicious, we can't just ignore it." Meng De was worried, "Whether it is out of righteousness or to fight for Jiao Wentong, a rare talent, and we must not miss this opportunity to expand and develop. We must make some responses. Although Qixingzhai has collapsed at present, the influence of Guanshan and Jiao Wentong on the green forest in Hedong is irreplaceable. Now although our Qingyunbao is getting stronger and stronger, it lacks Jiao Wentong, a banner that can stand alone and has a strong inspiration!"
"Brother Seven's words come to the point - yes, a big flag!" Chu Tianya was thinking carefully while wearing clothes. This distraction turned his coat back, which made Meng De laugh.
After changing clothes and grooming, Chu Tianya went out with Meng De and prepared to go to Qingyuntang to gather the leaders to discuss the matter. As the two brothers walked and said that when they were close to Qingyuntang, they saw Xiao Linglong riding a horse towards this side, as if they had just finished riding and shooting, with bows and arrows on her back, and sweat stains on her face.
"Brother Seven, you go first." Chu Tianya said, "I'll talk to Xiao Linglong about Jiao Wentong first."
"It's good." Meng De smiled and patted Chu Tianya's back and left first.
Xiao Linglong stepped forward and jumped off the horse quickly, hung bows and arrows and other things on the saddle, wiped the sweat on her face, and smiled at Chu Tianya.
Seeing Xiao Linglong's sweet smile, Chu Tianya couldn't bear to tell her about Qixingzhai.
"You stared at me so foolishly in the early morning. Is there something wrong?" Xiao Linglong can always understand Chu Tianya's eyes and expressions.
"Look at it yourself!" Chu Tianya didn't hide it from her and directly gave her Bai Shu's letter.
Xiao Linglong took it in surprise. As soon as she read the letter, her expression suddenly changed, and she was sad and happy.
I'm happy that I can finally get together with the people of Qixingzhai again; sadly, a huge family business in Qixingzhai has disappeared day and night. Jiao Wentong, who has the deepest feelings for her, still refuses to come to Xishan.
"You can't let the second brother go to Taiyuan!" After reading the letter, Xiao Linglong gave this reaction as soon as possible.
"I'm about to gather the leaders to discuss countermeasures." Chu Tianya said, "First of all, we should be prepared to settle the seven-star village; secondly, we should find a way to stop Jiao Wentong from leaving. It's best to bring Guanshan to Xishan together. If you turn to the government, it's simply a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.
Xiao Linglong's silver teeth clenched, and suddenly twisted herself back and took the horse, "I'll stop the second brother!"
"You stop, don't be reckless!" Chu Tianya hurried forward and grabbed her rein, "Even if you want to go, you can't take such abruptly!" Now Xu Han is staring at Xishan tightly. Maybe you have just gone down the mountain and fall into their trap!"
"I can't care so much, I'll ask Ada and Anu to go with me!" Xiao Linglong turned over and said, "Let go!"
Chu Tianya loosened the reins, but stood in front of her horse and did not get out of the way. "Flying Fox, just like you are worried about Jiao Wentong now. If you leave like this, I will be equally worried."
Xiao Linglong was waiting to leave. Hearing Chu Tianya say this, she suddenly stopped and looked back at him, "Then what do you think, what should I do?"
"I'll ask the Yelu brothers to take 500 riders with you." Chu Tianya said, "And you must promise me that if you meet the enemy, you can't fight, and you must get out as soon as possible. On the other side of Jiao Wentong, if he insists on refusing to listen to your advice, don't force or make a bad one. It's enough to delay some time. Later, I will discuss the countermeasures and proper arrangements with the brothers of Qingyunbao. If we want to make detailed arrangements on how to send troops to welcome Xue Yu and others, we must be foolproof. As for Jiao Wentong... Even if I tie him up, I will tie him up the mountain!"
Hearing this, Xiao Linglong's inner anxiety suddenly eased greatly. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh and said sincerely, "Thank you!"
"I promised you that I would try my best to protect Qixingzhai." Chu Tianya nodded and smiled, "Flying Fox, remember, now we are a collective and a big family. Don't act on the impulse to be alone. It's not good.
"I'll listen to your arrangement." Xiao Linglong nodded gently, "I'm going to prepare and let the Yelu brothers take 500 horses with me... Please, Chu leader, give me a military charm!"
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Then why don't you go to Qingyuntang with me? If you want to send a military charm, you have to be in front of the leaders in Qingyun Hall!"
"Good!" Xiao Linglong jumped off the horse and said with a smile, "The rules of Qingyunbao are quite strict."
"It is necessary." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "You can't make a circle without rules. When the white horse comes, we have to set up a complete military aircraft center to strictly and properly keep the soldiers and horses, and at the same time ensure that any of our military operations are thought-after, not the product of the dictatorial, sudden and impulsive temperament of the previous copycat horses. I was deeply impressed by the strict and reasonable military orders and regulations of Qixingzhai. I think Xishan can learn and follow. However, for the distribution of military power, it cannot be completely concentrated in the hands of Jiao Wentong alone according to the method of Qixingzhai. In that case, it's easy to make mistakes because of impulsiveness.
"It seems that you really have a lot of ideas and confidence to run Qingyunbao well." Xiao Linglong said meaningfully, "After Qixingzhai comes to join us, this family business will grow unprecedentedly. Do you think you can control everyone and make Qingyunbao a complete and harmonious family?
"I can't control anyone." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "There is a saying that if you are willing to pull the emperor down, everyone has feelings of rebellion and resistance in their hearts, which is human nature. If the emperor can't control the common people, how can I do it?"
"Won't the Qingyunbao dragons fight separately without heads and fall into a state of scattered sand?" Xiao Linglong said, "In the Qixing Village, Guan Shande's high expectations and people are all convinced. Jiao Wentong holds the military power and plans for nothing. These three people constitute the core of the cottage, and then we and other leaders perform their respective duties. We love each other and have a deep sense of righteousness, but I can't figure it out why Qixingzhai is still going to collapse in the end?
"That's because you are a little confused about your cognition and choice of the future, which leads to great differences." Chu Tianya said, "The difference between fundamental interests and positions makes the love and righteousness between you deeply on the surface, just like a couple who seem to respect each other on the surface actually have their own hearts and belongings, so in fact, they are actually different dreams in the same bed. If everything is peaceful, it can still barely maintain the status quo; but as long as it faces the test of crisis, it will be divided. The husband and wife were originally the same forest bird, and they flew separately in the face of disaster - that's what they meant.
Xiao Linglong nodded thoughtfully, "You have a point... In the end, there is indeed a turbulent undercurrent in Qixingzhai. Although everyone can't leave their feelings and righteousness, it is indeed a face and heart discord. The only comfort for me is that although Qixing Village no longer exists, we can still continue our friendship in Xishan. Tianya, can you guarantee that Xishan will not be a flash in the pan and will not repeat the mistakes of Qixingzhai?
"I don't know." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "I can only do my best."
Xiao Linglong took a breath, "Under the world, there are very few people who can be more loyal than the people of Qixingzhai. The collapse of Qixingzhai has proved that if you want to achieve your career, you can't rely too much on feelings and righteousness. Tianya, you must understand what I'm talking about.
"A lesson from the previous car, Jin Yu's good words." Chu Tianya nodded and smiled, "I understand."
"That's good." Xiao Linglong breathed a gentle sigh, "In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of Qixingzhai, Qingyunbao must have a clear direction; there must be and only one person to become the core and leader recognized by everyone; there must be clear laws and regulations and strictly abide by them - with these, Qingyunbao has a soul. It is a complete collective. Tianya, you must become the soul of Qingyunbao!"
Xiao Linglong's words are not new to Chu Tianya. He has thought about similar problems more than once. What surprised him was that such a thing seemed to come from the mouth of Xiao Linglong, an 18-year-old woman, rather than Meng De and Ma Jian, who had experienced the wind and waves, nor the long-term vision.
On second thought, Xiao Linglong was born in the royal family after all. She looked at the world from a higher perspective than ordinary people. In addition, she had a good education and experienced the fall of the country and the rise and fall of the nation, which made her have far more insight and vision than ordinary people.
"Soul...that's right." Chu Tianya nodded with deep approval, "The strength of Qixingzhai in the past is much stronger than that of Qingyunbao, but he lacks a distinct soul. Flying Fox, I will consider your suggestion.
"You can't just think about it, but you must do it!" Xiao Linglong frowned slightly and said, "If you hadn't come to sit at the head of Qingyunbao and become a real leader, I think not only me, but also Bai Xu and Xue Yu can't live here for a long time, just like you were in Qixing Village. And Brother Jiao, he will not have a glimmer of possibility to go to the West Mountain! - In the final analysis, the second brother just can't accept the reality of succumbing to people, especially under Meng De and Ma Xi; but this is you, maybe there is still room for maneuver!"
"I see." Chu Tianya nodded and said to herself that Xiao Linglong certainly had a long-term plan, but she wanted the villagers of Qixingzhai to come to Xishan. Her deep thoughts have been made clear, that is, the heroes of Qixingzhai will not be convinced by Meng De and Ma Yu.
Because in the past, Qixingzhai was above the Xishan Mountain. Even the leader of Xishan Eighteen Villages like Meng De, compared with any of the seven leaders of Qixing Village, there is a gap in status and reputation.
Now the people of Qixingzhai have turned to Xishan. Meng De and Ma Yu will definitely not be able to suppress the momentum and momentum of the leaders of Qixingzhai. After a long time, the people of Qixingzhai will inevitably have the idea of dove occupying the magpie's nest, at least it is inevitable to compete and fight.
There are also leading sheep among the flocks, not to mention people?
If there is no character who can convince both sides to stand up, reconcile and lead the group, in the long run, Qingyunbao is at most a replica of Qixingzhai.
Xiao Linglong means that whether from the top priority or from the perspective of long-term interests, Chu Tianya "must" become the soul and leader of Qingyunbao, and it is the only one!
Chu Tianya thought that Xiao Linglong has such an idea. On the one hand, it comes from personal feelings, and on the other hand, it should also be because of her consideration of the current situation. Since she has such an idea, Xue Yu and Bai Xu, who are preparing to go to Xishan, may also have such an idea - at least, they will not come to Meng De and Ma Yu!
Involuntarily, Chu Tianya looked at Qingyuntang. Meng De, Ma Yan and the leaders in the cottage were already chatting and laughing about breakfast together. In fact, on the first day of arriving at Qingyunbao, Meng De privately told Chu Tianya that he would let him sit in the first chair. However, at that time, Chu Tianya refused to stand beside Meng De as a "military advisor" because he had no meritorious deeds or kindness to the people, which made him unable to convince the people.
Although Meng De is obedient to Chu Tianya, in fact, it can be regarded as Chu Tianya is in charge of the power of Qingyunbao, but this is still fundamentally different from his direct becoming the only leader.
Xiao Linglong seemed to see Chu Tianya's thoughts and whispered in his ear, "I know you also have difficulties, but if the people of Qixing Village come to Xishan and see that you are not sitting in the first chair, you will not feel safe. So..."
"How can I tell Meng De about such a thing?" Chu Tianya smiled bitterly, "Although I'm thick-skinned enough, if I say Meng De, I will definitely agree. But I've only been in Qingyunbao for a few days. I haven't built any trees. How can I convince the public?
Xiao Linglong frowned slightly. She knew that Chu Tianya was not worried about the future. The word "convincing the public" is too important in the green forest. People in officialdom can have the capital to serve the public with the emperor's decree, but in the cottage on the green forest road, you must have extraordinary ability or prestige, as well as clear achievements and kindness to "commit to the public".
There is not much information about the inside story and the beginning and end of the First World War in Taiyuan. This makes it possible that only Meng De, Ma Yu and several senior leaders of Qixingzhai know Chu Tianya and can accept him as a leader. But this does not represent the thoughts of tens of thousands of people in Xishan and Qixingzhai. They may even not know who Chu Tianya is - they suddenly jump out and become the big leader, which will make them very confused, thus affecting the stability of people's hearts. It is also possible to bury the hidden danger of division!
"We must build momentum for you and expand your influence; and let you make a great achievement in a short time!" Xiao Linglong said.
Chu Tianya suddenly smiled and said, "People who have practiced flying knives are different. They can always get to the point in one word."
"How to do it, you can arrange it yourself." Xiao Linglong smiled slightly, "If you do this kind of thing, you have to play with some conspiracy and tricks. This is exactly your strength, isn't it?"
"What are you talking about!"
