Counting them all together, there are forty-one people who can raise their hands.

"Make decisions on the spot, don't waste time." Zhang Xing sat there and stopped everyone's greetings. "On one thing, Li Longtou made a plan to attack the lower reaches of the Huan River. Let's listen to it, discuss it, and then immediately raise it.

Hands, decide whether to take the initiative to fight."

The Juyi Hall immediately fell silent.

Li Ding did not hesitate to stand up and explain. As expected, as Liu Heifu thought, most people were moved on the spot... To put it bluntly, these leaders still hope to fight more.

Military accounts, nothing else.

After finishing speaking, Li Ding was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he looked at Zhang Xing and took the initiative to ask something: "Chief Zhang, there is something I need you to explain clearly... Before, you said that most of the people who had lowered the imperial army were

You arranged it, but at the time you only said it was to delay time and waste them, can you tell us the specific arrangements now?"

Zhang Xing paused and nodded: "He recommended Chi Shilang himself. When Wang Hou heard that Cao Che was dead, he couldn't bear it for a moment and asked me if I wanted to fight? I said I wasn't sure and it was best not to fight.

But if there was a real fight, he would fight, so he said that he wanted to feign surrender and try to seize the food from the tiger's mouth no matter what. Even if the Wei Dynasty was really dead, he would still stab the corpse of the Wei Dynasty court... I saw the sincerity of what he said.

So I let him go, and told him to go find Yu... the official."

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat. Whether they understood or not, they all immediately looked at Yu Changnan who was standing behind the pillar.

The latter came out without hesitation and explained: "I gave Chishiro an idea and asked him to flatter Sima Huada. Then I bribed Feng Chang to let Feng Chang speak, and arranged for Chishiro to take care of the harem, the emperor and the civil and military officials.

Live... What we were thinking at the time was that whether it was fighting or marching, the civil and military officials would have to be dragged behind. If we could get rid of Duke Niu, we could directly capture the little emperor, and the Queen Mother and the civil and military officials would go into our pockets.

Drill in!"

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat. This Yu Wenshu was really unscrupulous after his brother died.

And Zhang Xing also continued: "As for the internal servants, they were more open-minded. I told Wang Zhuo that I wouldn't stop them if they really wanted to leave, but no matter what, they would try their best to tie up the cattle governor for me.

Sir, if necessary, give Chishiro a result... and if we want to fight, I still hope that they will try their best to assist."

This is more in line with Chief Zhang's style, and many people nodded.

Xu Shiying immediately reminded: "But Wang Zhuo only brought two thousand people there, which was the establishment of one of his own battalions. His internal servants, especially many of Anjia's internal servants, stayed put. Now the army has gone to Jishan, It is impossible to leave even if the counties that serve the imperial army are blocked behind us."

"That means he won't do the right thing with us." Shan Tonghai quickly came to a conclusion, then looked at Zhang Xing and asked, "Where is Fu Boshi? It was also arranged by the chief?"

"I told Du Pozhen that he could surrender or fight, as long as he delayed the imperial army to buy us time." Zhang Xing also continued to give the answer. "But Du Pozhen simply gave way to Xuzhou, and instead assisted Xuzhou. Bo Shi went to surrender..."

"It doesn't matter whether Fu Bo Shi or Du Po Formation." Li Ding, who was still standing in the middle of the crowd, interrupted the conversation. "The current situation is that in addition to the situation I mentioned before, we still have two internal groups that should be in the enemy camp... and , although when they were initially asked to respond internally because they were worried about our lack of preparation and it was used to delay, both families have also been given the opportunity to participate in the war if necessary... We even have a chance to shake the master who is the main force of the opponent's Chinese army. .”

The crowd became more excited.

Zhang Xing still had the same attitude as before. He did not actively encourage or object. He just calmly looked at the leaders and said, "Brothers, do you still have words? You can speak before you raise your hands."

"Fighting is right! How can there be meat that cannot pass through the mouth?" Liu Heifu couldn't wait. "Chief, if we don't fight this, people in the world will think that we are afraid of the Forbidden Army! On the other hand, if we eat them, the world will Everyone knows our power, and if we ask Du Po Zhen to hand over Xuzhou and go to Huainan, he can honestly serve as our southern barrier."

Without Zhang Xing, Xiong Bonan seriously reminded: "Du Po Zhen is the leader of our gang. Even if there is something inappropriate this time, we have to decide how to deal with it after the war, and no matter what, we should not tell the Huaixi brothers Like an outsider."

Liu Heifu was embarrassed for a moment.

At this moment, Shan Tonghai suddenly stood up: "Let's just discuss the matter today. I am opposed to taking the initiative to start a war."

At least more than half of the people present were dumbfounded, and Liu Heifu was even a little shaken in the seat.

"My theory is very simple." Shan Tonghai stepped forward, stood side by side with Li Ding, and looked at the people around him. "Everyone, we made a decision when we held the conference in Hebei... We made it very clear at that time. If the Forbidden Army doesn't take the initiative to invade, we won't fight! And is there any obvious change from the previous expectations? We gathered a little faster, the troops were more sufficient, Chai Longtou and the others were more organized and logistics, and then the rainy season was a little worse. , Tomoshiro and the others' internal response went a little smoother, so what? There are still no particularly big changes! There is no new military information! If this is the case, then why do the forty leaders on the front line suddenly overthrow the previous eighty or ninety leaders? What about the resolution you made?!

"More importantly, although Chief Zhang initiated the resolution this time, it is considered to be in compliance with the rules. But everyone knows that Chief Zhang was instigated by Li Longtou alone, and didn't Li Longtou say he wanted to fight in Hebei before? Why can he sway the chief just by insisting on his opinion, and make the chief come here day and night, and come back to preside over this matter without even showing up to threaten Xue Changxiong? Is this in line with the rules? "

Li Ding's face turned green. Although he had long known that he was not respected by some powerful figures within the gang, he never expected that this kind of boycott would come so quickly and from such a tricky angle. Even the initiator was somewhat beyond his expectation.

.

Many leaders in the field were also awe-inspiring. Although the fight between Shan Longtou and the newly demoted Li Longtou was a bit shocking, it was just that. It was not like the gang had never seen infighting before. Between Zhang Lishu, Chen Bin and Dou Lide,

Who hasn't seen it yet? However, if a single faucet is involved and Chief Zhang is involved, it would be a bit scary.

Liu Heifu, who was jumping up and down before, didn't even fart at this time.

Li Ding didn't speak, but responded coldly, while Zhang Xing slowly spoke: "If you, the leader of the group, make the most of it to me, I will come back day and night... As for the decision to convene, I approved of Li Longtou's decision to start the war.

plan, but I feel that the political risks are still high after the war, and I do have some hesitation in my heart, so I called you to make a decision."

"May I ask Chief Zhang, what does it mean that the political risks are still high?" Shan Tonghai frowned slightly. "This word is hard to understand again."

Zhang Xing didn't panic, but glanced at Li Ding.

Li Ding was stunned for a moment, breathed out, turned around and said to Shan Tonghai: "Chief Zhang told me about this thing last night... I dare to ask Shan Longtou, do you know that the army of the gang has always been more than just an army?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Longtou felt that he was confused. He clearly wanted to promote the war, so why did he have to explain the opposite to Zhang San?

Shan Tonghai was also stunned. He knew from the moment the other party said this that he couldn't reach Chief Zhang this time.

And sure enough, after Li Ding had finished explaining Zhang Xing's reasoning last night, Shan Tonghai thought for a moment and could only ask in a low voice: "So, the Chief Private is opposed to fighting?"

"No." Zhang Xing stopped the fight at the right time and spoke sincerely. "I personally want to fight now. I have a quick temper. I want to bully you when I have an advantage. I can't help but want to hide when I am slightly frustrated...

It's just that I knew from the moment I found Wang Wulang Zhuangzi four years ago that he decided to rebel. When we become the chief, the leader, our ambitions are our ambitions, and our ideas are our ideas. If we want to work for our ambitions, we must suppress our personal thoughts...

My fluctuations from last night to today are all based on the interests of the gang."

Shan Tonghai looked at Zhang Xing and didn't know what to say for a moment... He wanted to tell himself that the other party was talking nonsense again, but his reason and experience told him that what the chief said was true, and he was like this

A person who is calm on the surface but flustered and at a loss on the inside... However, what does it mean if a person is so flustered but can always withstand the inner turmoil and do the right thing?

In four years, the reason why Chief Zhang was able to win over people and defeat Li Shu was because he was able to make people like Xu Dalang thorn in the head, let a master like King Xiongtian have his own ideas, and make most of the entire gang have their own ideas.

Isn't it because all the heroes obeyed and he made the situation better? Isn't it because he has always been able to prove that Chief Zhang Xingzhang is the right party?

If this is true, this chief will be even more terrifying.

"If you say so, my opposition to sending troops is also out of public interest." Shan Tonghai calmed down and told the people around him seriously, but his tone softened a lot. "I also hope that today's brothers will remember that there will be no major changes in the military situation.

To change the course, it means forty people overturning a decision made by eighty people. Do we still need to follow the rules?"

"After all, the purpose of setting these rules in the gang is to win!" Li Ding also came to his senses and responded without hesitation. "Winning or not is the reason why certain rules are appropriate or inappropriate! Although there is no big military situation now

Changes, but there are many small changes, the cumulative effect is enough to change everything, and the chance of winning is greatly increased! Why can't we decide to change the strategy and start a war?"

Shan Tonghai smiled slightly and finally said the key words he had prepared long ago: "The matter has come to this. It would be ridiculous if we don't raise our hands to make a resolution. What I mean is that now is the time to overturn the resolution of the old gang meeting. In general,

There must be a limit... Therefore, before raising your hands to decide whether to go to war, you must first make a small resolution. Just raise your hands and see how simple it is to decide. Do you need half of the people to agree, so you can change the small to big, or two-thirds of the people?

Change only with consent? And I personally think that since it is to change from a small to a large, at least two-thirds of the people, that is, at least 28 people, must agree to fight, so that there will be no drama that the foreign military orders will be ignored! Of course,

If the chief has his own ideas, I, as the leader, will respect the chief. After all, I am also in the army and on the front line."

After saying that, he turned back to his seat.

Almost everyone present was stunned. Zhang Xing, Li Ding, and even Xu Shiying, who had been defeated, all looked at this person again... The diligent Xu Dalang never expected that this Shan Dalang was really reliable.

Following the rules has played a role in restraining Chief Zhang... Unfortunately, it's too late. My ambition is gone forever, and I can't join forces with this old brother.

After a while, Li Ding stood there and thought for a moment. He had no choice but to go back.

When Xiong Bonan saw this, he just frowned slightly and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to speak?"

No one in the audience paid any attention.

Xiong Bonan turned back to look at Zhang Xing: "What do you think, Chief Zhang?"

"Shan Dalang's words make sense." Zhang Xing thought for a while, but had nothing to say. "It's not that the frontline cannot make decisions at the moment, but since it is temporarily changing from small to large, there must be restrictions, and there must be a chief and a leader present.

Host, please raise one more hand."

Xiong Bonan nodded and said immediately: "In that case, there is no need to delay. If you feel that the small change is more than two-thirds, then raise your hands, and if more than half is enough, this round will be decided."

After saying that, King Xiongtian raised his hands first, and Zhang Xing also raised his hands. Seeing this, many people around him raised their hands. Only five or six people from the Wu'an Army who followed Li Ding did not move, and Fang Yanshi, a member of the Putai Army that day, did not move.

...Even Liu Heifu raised his hand after looking around.

"Thirty-three hands." As Han Erlang finally thought carefully and raised his hands, Xiong Bonan, who waited for a moment, chose to count. "After that... now raise your hands to decide whether to change the plan and take the initiative to start a war. Those who agree raise their hands.

, only if you have twenty-eight hands or more...don’t hesitate."

Under the gazes of Yu Changnan and Bai Youbin, one hand was raised one after another. Li Ding himself and the five people under his command, plus Fang Yanshi, were the first wave; Xia Hou Ningyuan, who glanced at his big brother, was the first

At the beginning, Niu Da, Jia Yue, Zhai Qian, Wu Changzai, Liu Heifu, Zuo Caixiang, Zhang Shanxiang and other staunch main combatants raised their hands in the second wave; then Xu Shiying, Wang Shuyong, Zhang Shizhao, Jia Wugen, Han

Erlang and others thought for a moment, then raised their hands to add.

When Jia Runshi finally raised his hand to finish amidst the urging, King Xiongtian also raised his hand in the eyes of Yu and Bai with obvious disappointment, and then announced the result: "Twenty-two, no pass."

This is a very frustrating and unconvincing result.

But Chief Zhang, who had shown little sign of the previous two resolutions, turned serious at this time: "Since it is a rule, it must be followed. This is the result of everyone's public discussion. I will also reissue the military order here, unless there is a clear change in the military situation on the front line.

Otherwise, you must abide by the previous military orders when you go back. You are not allowed to launch group attacks without authorization, and you are not allowed to take the initiative to attack the opponent's main military camp and garrisoned towns. The twenty-five battalions in Jishan must stand still... Everyone go back as soon as possible! I will set off tomorrow, too.

Go to Jishan to supervise the army."

Everyone calmed down, stood up and bowed, and then left talking.

Li Ding originally wanted to stay, but he just sighed and left. Zhang Xing and Xiong Bonan also stood up, apparently to see them off and prepare to rest in the Immortal Cave.

Zhang Shizhao, on the other hand, was probably well rested at this time, so he casually took the initiative to talk to Yu Changnan and Bai Youbin.

The two of them were originally depressed, but when they saw this man coming over, they were frightened and quickly bowed their heads in the hall.

"You two seem a little depressed?" Zhang Shizhao asked knowingly with his hands behind his back.
