Chapter 180: Faint Move
"PS: I've been in a bad state for the past two days, let me adjust."
ββββ the following textββββ
The next day, Yang Tong sent someone to Chen Zu's cottage and conveyed Chen Zu's request for 'two cents of interest for the time being'.
Hearing of this rude request, Chen Zu was furious in his heart.
His cottage is located on the north side of the eastern part of Yingshan, controlling the half of the section leading from Runan to Kunyang, when the group of gangs in the eastern part of Yingshan has not yet formed an alliance, at least he can profit from the caravan on the road of 'Rukun', until later the Black Tiger Village met with the cottages to distribute the benefits of the caravan, and Chen Zu and his gang got the benefits of the caravan from Yang Tong, so they no longer robbed the caravan under their mountain.
But now, Yang Tong wants to owe these two points of interest for various reasons that Chen Zu can't agree with, which makes Chen Zu feel quite annoyed.
In order to repair the old village?
Your Black Tiger Village has annexed the remaining seven cottages, so the eight cents of profit is not enough for you to build a broken cottage?
He also said that he had to feed hundreds of brothers.
It's ridiculous, if you don't want to raise it, my Chen Zu will raise it for you, you let them come to me!
However, anger is anger, but in terms of reason, Chen Zu is really difficult to refuse for a while.
After all, the Black Tiger Village has indeed suffered a great loss this time, for the sake of the alliance, Chen Zu should indeed 'pull' the Black Tiger Village and flatly refuse, it is really easy to affect Chu Jiao, Zhang Feng and others' opinions on him - but this is only in the truth, in fact, Chen Zu has already guessed that Yang Tong is ready to attack him.
After weighing it for a long time, Chen Zu proposed a period of 'two months' to the people sent by Yang Tong.
For the sake of the alliance between the two cottages, he allowed Yang Tong to be in arrears until the beginning of spring next year.
Originally, Chen Zu's idea was two months, after all, the two-month period was indeed not short, and in his opinion, it was more than enough to rebuild the old village, but considering that there were many fewer caravans coming and going in winter than before, he decided to relax the period to the beginning of spring next year, which was about less than four months.
The envoy sent by Yang Tong returned to the Black Tiger Village and conveyed Chen Zu's opinion to Yang Tong.
Yang Tong sneered and did not reply again.
In this way, from that month on, the caravan benefits that Black Tiger Village got from the main road under the mountain did not send anyone to Chen Zu again.
In view of the fact that it takes a certain amount of time to get rid of Chen Zu, Yang Tong put this matter down for the time being, and prepared to wait until after the beginning of spring next year.
He Black Tiger Village, there were originally three village owners, namely him Yang Tong and Chen Mo, Wang Qing, and now, there are more Liu Heimu, Chu Jiao, Zhang Feng, Wu Sheng, Ma Hong, Feng Xing, Liu Mao, these seven village owners who have come to defect one after another, how to balance the status of these people in the cottage, this is Yang Tong's current biggest headache.
Probably because of the fact that the officers and soldiers of Kunyang have been evacuated, all kinds of disharmony have gradually appeared in the Black Tiger Village, which was originally united a while ago, and the person who provoked this disharmony is none other than the two people he regards as his confidants: Niu Heng and Liu Heimu.
Needless to say, in the entire Black Tiger Village, after removing Guo Da, Yang Tong trusts Niu Heng the most; As for Liu Heimu's 'golden horse bone', I don't know if it's because he intended to win him over before, anyway, Liu Heimu is also close to him, and he defected to Black Tiger Village, calling him 'Brother Yang' and 'Boss Yang', so gradually Yang Tong also regarded him as a humerus confidant.
However, it is just that these two people don't like each other, and they always have to quarrel over trivial things every day, which makes Yang Tong annoyed.
One day in early November, Yang Tong summoned Guo Da and Zhao Yu to his house and asked them for a solution.
Looking at Yang Tong's headache, Zhao Yu secretly sneered in his heart, and at the same time was a little proud, after all, the contradiction between Niu Heng and Liu Heimu was exactly what he provoked at the beginning.
At that time, he was just trying to divert Yang Tong's attention, but now it seems that this matter is in his favor.
He can dig deeper into this matter and create a split within Yang Tong and his gang, and even maybe have the opportunity to dismantle the 'iron triangle' of Yang Tong, Guo Da, and Niu Heng, and tear the ground apart.
Guo Da doesn't need to say much, he calls himself a sky-fighting eagle, but his actual nickname is 'The Great Steward of Black Tiger Village', almost everything up and down the Black Tiger Village has to be handled by him, and I don't know if it is caused by too much hard work every day, so that Guo Da has almost no ambition - from the time he tried his best to instigate Zhao Yu to promise to be Yang Tong's righteous son, it can be seen that this person basically has no ambition.
Where to find subordinates like this who are capable but have no ambitions? Therefore, Zhao Yu included Guo Da in his future team early.
As for Niu Heng, this guy is upright, reckless, stubborn, and admits death, Zhao Yu didn't understand what Yang Tong was good about before, anyway, Niu Heng recognized Yang Tong to death, so Zhao Yu decided to give up Niu Heng at the beginning, anyway, he felt that it was enough to have Chen Mo and Wang Qing, but as far as the current situation was concerned, he felt that he could operate a wave and take the opportunity to separate Yang Tong and Niu Heng.
"Ah Hu, the boss asked you."
Just as Zhao Yu was pondering, a reminder from Guo Da's side interrupted his thoughts.
Zhao Yu quickly gathered his mind and said with a sad face: "This matter ...... It's really not easy to do. β
"What else can stump you?" Yang Tong glanced at Zhao Yu.
"What do you say......
Zhao Yu faintly felt that Yang Tong's words were a little emotional, as if he was still resentful of his rejection of the proposed proposal of the righteous son.
From the side, Guo Da smiled and said, "It's because it's difficult to do that the boss came to us to discuss." β
γβ¦β¦γ
Glancing at Guo Da, Zhao Yu was very interested in not showing any abnormality.
However, he faintly felt in his heart that Guo Da should have hidden something about Yang Tong's attitude towards him.
Of course, this is not surprising, in the past few months, Guo Da, as the 'middleman' between Yang Tong and Zhao Yu, has basically been hiding from both ends, he neither told Zhao Yu about Yang Tong's dissatisfaction with Zhao Yu, nor did he tell Yang Tong about Zhao Yu's dissatisfaction with Yang Tong deliberately revealed, anyway, he just said good things at both ends.
Don't look at Guo Da's treatment of outsiders is also very ruthless, but he treats his own people, especially his little brother Zhao Yu in his eyes, this Guo Da big brother is still quite interesting, and it is precisely because of this that Zhao Yu is closest to Guo Da in the cottage now.
After thinking about it, Zhao Yu hesitated: "The dispute between Niu Heng and Liu Heimu is, in the final analysis, caused by the unclear status of their cottage. β¦β¦ I have no prejudice against Niu Heng, but I always feel that Niu Heng is a little arrogant, he always feels that in addition to the big village owner and Guo Da's eldest brother in the cottage, and then he is ......"
"Haha."
Guo Da laughed, but Xuan even corrected: "Ah Hu's evaluation is very accurate, but that brute bull is not arrogant, how can that reckless man know what arrogance?" You don't have much contact with him, so you have a misunderstanding, but in fact you are quite polite to your own brothers, and only to those who he doesn't like, cough, he will do that. β¦β¦ That brute bull is actually a very upright person, and he doesn't have any heart. β
Speaking of this, he changed his tone and said in a low voice: "On the other hand, Liu Heimu, this person is very deep in the city, and even I was deceived by him at the beginning. β¦β¦ Originally, we used him to recover Chu Jiao, Zhang Feng and others, but I didn't expect that he quickly won over Chu Jiao, Zhang Feng and others, and now he has his own faction, boss, I think Liu Heimu needs to be guarded against. β
Zhao Yu was not surprised that Guo Da took the opportunity to 'smear' Liu Heimu, after all, compared to Niu Heng, Guo Da is the leader of the 'old school' Yang Tong gang, and of course he will favor his good brother Niu Heng.
But unfortunately, Zhao Yu concluded that Guo Da's smear did not work, the reason is that Liu Heimu, Chu Jiao, Zhang Feng and other 'defectors', their relationship with Yang Tong is now excellent, and considering that the forces of the 'defection faction' now account for one-third of the Black Tiger Village, let me ask, will Yang Tong be disappointed in him because of a bull Heng?
The answer, of course, is no!
No, hearing Guo Dana's words, Yang Tong didn't seem to have the intention of picking up, frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly changed the topic and said, "I have an idea, you two listen to it." β¦β¦ I intend to help Liu Heimu sit in the seat of the second village master, what do you two think? β
As soon as he heard this, Guo Da knew that what he had just said was completely in vain.
He frowned and persuaded, "Boss, think twice." β¦β¦ Although Chen Mo was at odds with me in the past, he was an old man in the village after all, and he had never done anything sorry for the cottage, he was at most ...... I can't get used to what our brothers sometimes do, compared to him, then Liu Heimu is worth guarding against, this person took the opportunity to win over Chu Jiao, Zhang Feng, Wu Sheng and others, and set up his own faction in the village, although for the time being, he still respects the boss, but from his dispute with Niu Heng, it can be seen that this person is not willing to send people under the fence, if the boss does not beat, I am afraid that there will be an anti-guest situation in the village in the future! β
On the side, Zhao Yu laughed secretly when he heard it.
Obviously, Guo Da was deliberately smearing Liu Heimu and others in front of Yang Tong, but what is interesting is that he just said it.
It's just that there is no need to wait for the future, because at present, the 'defection faction' is already trying to challenge the status of the 'old school', if Yang Tong doesn't care about this, Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, Chu Jiao and others will inevitably quickly squeeze out Niu Heng and even Guo Da's status.
If it were Zhao Yu, he would definitely favor Guo Da and Niu Heng at this time, and come forward to suppress Liu Heimu, Chu Jiao and others, even if it was necessary to win over Chen Mo and Wang Qing for this purpose - after all, these people have been together for many years, although there are small frictions, but after all, they know each other's bottom line, and they will not cause any big things.
But Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, Chu Jiao and other 'defectors' are different, they are newcomers, they want to achieve a higher status as much as possible, which is destined to cause friction with other factions in the cottage, plus they are not familiar with each other, do not know the bottom line of the other party, once the friction is excessive, it will inevitably cause trouble.
Therefore, this newcomer must be suppressed, even if it is a little beaten.
As for whether he would offend the 'defection faction' because of this, Zhao Yu didn't care.
What if the defectors make up one-third of the cottage? In the final analysis, it's just a defeated general who has lost the cottage, and if you knock it down with a stick, how many people do you think dare to rebel? After suppressing and treating favorably, Liu Hei's small group immediately collapsed.
But it's a pity that Yang Tong is not Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu will not tell Yang Tong about this solution, on the contrary, he is happy to let Yang Tong promote Liu Heimu.
He had already guessed what was going to happen.
He knew that the opportunity to separate Yang Tong and Guo Da had come.
