Chapter 161 Long-term Discussion
Chu Tianya carried the wine bowl and looked at the No. one or two hundred hot-blooded heroes kneeling on one knee. He was in a trance for a moment.
The scene in front of him makes him feel a little déjà vu. Yes, I have seen such a similar scene on TV in Water Margin.
Chu Tianya never thought that he would one day become a real version of "Song Jiang".
What happened today also happened a little suddenly. Meng De didn't say hello to him in advance, but obviously he had secretly made an appointment with Bai Xie and others to make a "sudden attack".
Meng De has this idea. It hasn't been a day or two. Chu Tianya has known it for a long time. The battle of Xiaocang Mountain made Xishan's strength unprecedented. Bai Xu and Xue Yu led most of the people in Qixingzhai to cast, which was obviously for Chu Tianya, which made his foundation unprecedentedly stable. In particular, Wang Xun and a large number of Shengjie Army, Taiyuan Xiangjun and a group of people, who also strongly supported Chu Tianya.
With the huge function of the battle of Xiao Cangshan and such a solid network foundation, coupled with Meng De's sincerity, objectively speaking, it will be a matter of time before Chu Tianya is supported. At present, the Xishan family has a great career, and it is also necessary to identify a big leader to coordinate the overall situation.
No matter how you choose, the candidates for the leaders of Xishan are right and wrong.
On the Qingyun Hall, one or two hundred people looked at Chu Tianya with excitement, which made him very moved. But this is obviously not the rhythm he wants.
"Brothers, please get up first." Chu Tianya put down the wine bowl, hugged everyone and said, "How about listening to Chu say a few words?"
Brother, you might as well promise us first. Otherwise, I can't afford to kneel today!" Meng De shouted. It immediately received a response from many strong men.
Chu Tianya smiled bitterly, "It's not that Chu doesn't agree... Brothers, where do you want to put Jiao Wentong, Xiao Linglong, Tang Ang and others?"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned before they came to their senses.
Since he came to Qingyunbao, Jiao Wentong has never appeared in public again. After he personally dug a pit and buried the body of Guanshan, he guarded the lonely grave of Guanshan with filial piety every day, and knelt down to the paper-burning mourning there all day long. Except for Xiao Linglong and Tang Ang, he refused to see anyone else, so he would appear in today's Qingyun Hall.
"Brothers, please get up quickly." Chu Tianya hugged his boxing again and said, "Today, Chu has a sentence to make it clear in front of the brothers. We gather in Qingyunbao, just to protect the people and save the country. No matter who is the leader, he can't change the only purpose of Qingyunbao. The brothers of all families look up to Mr. Chu, and Mr. Chu is not pretentious and willing to take on this responsibility. But since it is a public election, it must be convinced by everyone. Chu was originally young, ignorant, talented and shallow. In addition, he has made few achievements in entering the castle. Now he has to shoulder the big event of the whole castle in a hurry, and he is inevitably a little panicked. It's better for the brothers to give Chu a certain time to get used to it, and also give everyone a period of time to run in and accept.
When everyone heard Chu Tianya's words, they felt that it was very real and reasonable, and they also recognized it.
So everyone stood up from the ground one after another, and added some recognition to Chu Tianya's sincerity and kindness in their hearts.
Bai Shu stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Brother Chu is reasonable. The strength of Qingyunbao increased greatly overnight, and it still needs a running-in time in all aspects. It will take some time for me to adapt to my new position. It's better to discuss the promotion of the leader of Qingyunbao and arrange seats for the leaders and a clear division of labor during the Dragon Boat Festival half a month later. I don't know what you guys think?
"Vit's very good." Chu Tianya immediately agreed. Baixu really helped him get out of the siege.
"Since both brothers and Mr. Bai agree, Meng De has no problem." Meng De said cheerfully, "Dragon Boat Festival is Dragon Boat Festival, and double happiness is coming!"
All the leaders agreed to postpone it until the Dragon Boat Festival.
Baixu immediately lost the opportunity and said, "But the dragons can't be headless. This half month is an important opportunity for Qingyunbao to run in. It's better to ask Brother Chu to temporarily take the position of leader, assisted by Meng Qige. What do you think?
As soon as everyone heard it, they immediately understood that this was a conspiracy, a typical "slow-moving strategy". Let Chu Tianya act as the leader first, and then officially take office half a month later. In this way, everyone preconceivedly accepted Chu Tianya, the big leader. No matter how the election is, this big leader is nothing but him. If it were anyone, it would not be so "righteous".
"Okay, that's it!" Meng De hardly gave anyone a chance to interrupt. He immediately shouted, "Please ask the Chu brothers to temporarily act as the leader, and also ask Mr. Bai to consult the military aircraft to set up the Xishan Military Machinery Office as soon as possible. This matter should not be delayed, and tens of thousands of soldiers should be planned and managed as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be chaos in Qingyunbao.
Chu Tianya looked at Bai Shu and Meng De, and had to shake his head and smile slightly, and accepted their "proposal" by default.
Other people naturally have no opinion.
Half a month of buffer time is just right for Chu Tianya and Qingyunbao. The people of the whole castle can run in and plan, and Chu Tianya can take advantage of this period to accumulate popularity and reputation, and solve the big problem of Jiao Wentong.
In any case, Jiao Wentong was once one of the two owners of Qixing Village, the leading figure in Taihang Mountain, and a banner on the green forest in Hedong. If Chu Tianya wants to take office smoothly, he can't do without his support.
Everyone present actually knows this.
It is certainly good that Baixu and Meng De set up such a game today to make Chu Tianya directly promote the position and make it an established fact; even if it doesn't work, it can also be preemptive and create a preconceived concept in everyone's mind. After all, these are all aimed at Jiao Wentong.
Because Jiao Wentong's reputation is too loud and his influence is too great. Even if the Qixingzhai has collapsed now, if he stands up against Chu Tianya, it will be a huge trouble. Even if things will not reach such a deadlock, without the support of Jiao Wentong, Chu Tianya's upper position will seem a little "unspeakable". After all, there are 20,000 to 30,000 horses in Qixingzhai in Qingyunbao. Bai Xu and Xue Yu were also under the command of Jiao Wentong. If you don't win Jiao Wentong, these people from Qixingzhai will be suspected of "betrayal of changing owners", which is a big taboo on the Green Forest Road. Moreover, this will lay a deep hidden danger for the future stability and unity of Qingyunbao.
This is the main reason why Chu Tianya is not in a hurry to take office immediately. Everything is because of Jiao Wentong.
After the discussion of Qingyuntang broke up, Chu Tianya pulled up the red silk to cover the word "Chu" and returned to his residence.
Meng De and Bai Yu followed with a tacit understanding.
"Brother, you lead Qingyunbao, which is the general trend. In fact, you don't have to worry about anything." Meng De said.
Chu Tianya nodded and smiled, "That's right. But Jiao Wentong, we must strive for it.
"I agree with Brother Chu's idea." Bai Yu said, "Brother Jiao has been with us brothers for many years. Emotionally speaking, we can't give up on him."
Meng De nodded, "Of course, I also hope that Jiao Erge can join us. But... in case he refuses, won't his brother ever sit in that chair? Because of one person, which affected 100,000 people in the whole castle, Meng felt that it would be a little bit of a big loss. Just act openly and aboveboardly, and you don't have to be too obsessed with trifles.
"Well, it makes sense." Bai Shu said, "Half a month, whether it's long or not, it depends on how Brother Chu can win Brother Jiao. It's not easy for us outsiders to get involved in this matter. It's better for the two of you to talk directly.
"I know." Chu Tianya nodded.
Bai Wei smiled slightly, "In fact, Jiao Erge is a typical cold and hot personality. It's not difficult for you to figure out his character..."
Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that Jingqian has already become a bamboo? Why don't you teach me?"
Meng De also smiled, "Yes! Mr. Bai and Brother Jiao have been together for so many years, and they must know him very well.
"Well, second brother Jiao is both my brother and my enemy!" Bai Yu couldn't help smiling bitterly.
"Oh, what do you say?" Both of them asked in surprise.
Bai Xun laughed several times and said, "I think Xiaosheng was just a poor scholar from all directions, because he was young and liked to be eloquent and argue with others. One day, I was exiled to Taiyuan and listened to people's storytelling in Wasiri. When I heard the unpleasantness, I came to the stage and talked about the storytelling theory. A long talk about the great principles of governing the country and the world. At that time, Brother Jiao happened to sneak into Taiyuan and was also in the tile. After listening to Xiaosheng's pedantic talk, the second brother moved his mind and tied Xiaosheng to the mountain, and never put it down again.
"Haha!" Chu Tianya and Meng De couldn't help laughing, "So you still have such a tragic experience!"
"No!" Bai Wei himself was also funny, "A good scholar of mine was tied up as a mountain thief like this, and fell into the grass as a bandit. But over the years, the eldest brother and the second brother have really not treated me badly. I'm getting used to it."
Chu Tianya nodded and smiled, "After talking for a long time, you haven't told me how to impress and persuade Second Brother Jiao?"
Bai Xun smiled slightly, "The character of Brother Jiao is very much like Guan Yunchang in the Three Kingdoms. He is soft but not hard, he is evil and does not deceive good, and he is quite affectionate and righteous. The only way to impress him is emotionally!"
"Can you tell me more about it?"
"Big brother, Princess Xiao!"
In the evening of that day, the sunset was all over the mountains.
Chu Tianya rode a horse and came alone to a hill that was included after the expansion of the northern part of Qingyunbao. The mountain has recently been opened, and the wall in the north of the hill is still under construction. The nearest residents are also more than a miles away, so the environment is very quiet.
Jiao Wentong buried Guan Shan here, lying on the mountain, high above the post.
Getting off the horse, Chu Tianya carried a large wooden box containing some sacrificial sacrifices and paper wax, and walked towards the tomb of Guanshan step by step.
