Volume I, The Dongyi Tribe 137.The pinnacle of power in the Eastern Regions
Dealing with the same kind of people, it will be relatively easy, but at the same time, some small tricks are not easy to achieve, after all, doing things is the same as being a person, what kind of person is it, and it will also make people see through what kind of style of acting, and they can't be honest, and they can't get honest responses, and the result may be that many people don't like to get along with a kind of person like themselves, which is the worst attitude to do things, because it is the loss of the simplest way of doing things...
And Shang Yang is not like this, this may also have a lot to do with his usual attitude towards things, although in such an intricate force as the Jiuli tribe, honesty is easy to make it difficult for him to survive, but this way is not absolute, it also depends on what kind of people are treated, like the nine brothers of Chiyou, for them, the tribe is theirs, they are the superiors, the peak of power, others are just subordinates, if the subordinates can't be honest with the king, then suspicion will appear, once there is distrust, That status will be in jeopardy, after all, he can have today's position, all thanks to the trust of the king, once he loses this trust, then he, an outsider, will have no place in the Jiuli tribe.
And treat other people, it has to be a different way, like Shang Yang, a strategist, say that there is no scheming, it is impossible, his strength lies in the fact that people can't guess the real idea, and the more powerful strategists can even make people have seen through, but in fact, they guessed wrong, a kind of self-thinking that they have seen through, this is also the way of the minister, and the wisdom necessary to survive in this complex court, so Shang Yang is a very good person among many colleagues, basically not offending people, and won the trust of the king, Many people are willing to have a deep friendship with him, and as for his inner thoughts, only he knows best.
And for the four patriarchs Li Wen, to tell the truth, Shang Yang really didn't dare to underestimate it too much, the other party's strategy is no worse than his own, and his personality is more cautious, he is the brother that Chi You relies on the most, and among the nine brothers, his status is also the second highest, so he came to visit him is the best choice, the reason why he came to visit him is the best choice, the reason why the second one came to visit, this reflects Shang Yang's excellence, these details of the action, is to make people comfortable, and can also solve things well, after all, in front of the four patriarchs to play smart, He didn't have the guts yet.
Things are as he expected, knowing that Shang Yang came from the second brother, Li Wen also understood in his heart, in fact, he also likes Shang Yang, and he does not treat the same kind of people with jealousy, after all, the identities of the two are different, one up, one down, there is no competitive relationship, although there is not much intersection at ordinary times, but it is also mutual respect, since they already know each other's meaning, they tacitly no longer discuss this topic, but some usual hobbies, until the development direction of the Jiuli tribe in the future, Both benefited greatly.
The Jiuli tribe, as its name suggests, is a very special existence of the nine rulers surnamed Li, it is said that Chiyou is the largest patriarch, but the nine brothers have always been very united, each performing their duties, I have never heard of any contradictions because of interests or rights, it is said that people will have desires, especially the pursuit of rights, it stands to reason that nine people are in charge, it is difficult not to have problems, but for so many years, it is precisely that there are no problems, which has to be said to be a miracle, and it is also the biggest difference from the other two countries, It is these nine brothers who have unified the Eastern Regions and made unprecedented deeds, a very terrifying existence, and can be called the first power in the mainland.
But because of the bad background, and in the remote Eastern Regions, so the degree of wealth is definitely not as good as the other two countries, after this battle, they have exposed a greater shortcoming, that is, the reserve of talents is seriously insufficient, especially military talents, in the past in the Eastern Regions to fight and kill OK, but really to the Central Plains, only to know what is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, so I dare not continue to fight, can only withdraw first, recuperate for a period of time, and then at a certain time.
Although the Jiuli tribe has reached an internal agreement, but after all, this war is not only their tribe, there are no less than a dozen followers, large and small, these tribes are all here for a piece of the pie, and they have also paid a lot of manpower and material resources, so such a halfway retreat is also the most prestige-hurting, so the Jiuli tribe must also have an explanation, or make other compensation, otherwise how can anyone fight with you in the north and south in the future, and take the lead?
For a few months, they have been stationed in situ, and the reputation is to rest, but everyone knows that the battle situation is unfavorable, coupled with the chaos in the rear base camp, which has caused many tribes to be afraid of harming the pond fish, and they have already retreated in their hearts, but the prestige of Chiyou has caused them not to dare to speak, they can only endure, and live every day like a year, but there are also those who want to continue the attack wholeheartedly, the Central Plains is too tempting, they can't bear to give up, and such tribes are no longer a few, and they are also anxiously waiting for the order to attack every day, and they are like years.
On this day, in the anticipation of all the tribes, Chi Youjun finally issued an order to convene the most rigorous meeting since the station, and each patriarch who participated in the war, regardless of the size of the tribe, was invited to be in the list, and there was no such situation before, because every time the alliance leaders participated, and the other tribes were all qualified, this is also the most complete one, it can be seen that Chi You attaches great importance to it, and the patriarchs of the various tribes who have been waiting for a long time have also raised their spirits, whether it is the main battle or the main retreat, they all know, This meeting is likely to decide the next move, however, relatively speaking, the confidence in the main battle is more sufficient, because with the understanding of Chi Youjun, he is the initiator of the Western Expedition to the Central Plains, so there are many possibilities for attacking again, and everyone is nervous and excited, and they enter the largest camp of the Chiyou military camp, which is also a place where many people can't enter in their lives.
The camp tent is very large, hundreds of people will not be crowded in it, the periphery is checked layer by layer, the entire camp is not drained, each patriarch who enters, is not allowed to carry weapons, everyone has been strictly searched, and each patriarch is not allowed to bring guards, only one person can enter, the serious atmosphere of the guards also makes the people who attend the meeting for the first time nervous, although they are all heads of a clan, but in comparison, it is really nothing, if you annoy Chi Youjun, the tribe may not exist overnight, Therefore, in the face of the rude and barbaric actions of the guards, no one dared to speak out against it, so they could only swallow their anger.
Finally into the big tent, an ancient sandalwood chair placed in the main position, a complete tiger skin can not be covered, it seems that there are three of them, and each one is an extremely rare white tiger skin, even the armrests are wrapped, you can imagine how precious it is, there are four ancient sandalwood chairs on both sides of the main seat, but the size is smaller than the main seat, but you can also sit two or three people full, the chair is also placed with tiger skin, the color is also more than the main seat to check some, everyone knows, these eight seats are the seats of the Li brothers.
The lower layer is more shabby, just ordinary tables and chairs, the size is just right, as for the tiger skin, there is no more, only a simple futon, but all of them can sit here are the patriarchs of all races, and even the leaders of various alliances, this glory makes the patriarchs present excited, blood boiling, eager to go up and experience it immediately, but now no one dares to move, the nine brothers have not arrived, they can only wait patiently, many of the patriarchs who came in for the first time looked around and admired.
After not waiting long, one of the guards shouted:
"Chi Youjun has arrived!"
The patriarchs hurriedly bowed their heads, not daring to look again, the nine brothers of the Li family, under the leadership of Chi You, walked to the main seat, each sat down, and the patriarchs hurriedly knelt down and shouted in unison:
"See Chi Youjun!"
"Get up!"
Only then did everyone get up and walk to their seats, the positions of the leaders of the alliances were higher, and some small patriarchs could only sit at the end, among which there was a vacant seat, that is, the position of Shang Feng of the Taiyun Alliance, because he had rushed back to the Eastern Regions, so the position had been vacant, and no one dared to occupy it, this strict hierarchy did not only exist in the Eastern Regions, the same was true of the other two countries in the Central Plains, the monarch had supreme rights, and everyone else was the people of the monarch, and no one could surpass it, this is the etiquette system, something that has been deeply rooted, No one thinks it's inappropriate, and even some places are stricter, subordinates can't even sit, some people are also divided into strict classes, and slaves don't even have the right to live, which is no different from pigs and dogs, which seems to be doing better in the Eastern Regions.
"Mr. Sheep Messenger!"
"Yes"
Soon, Shang Yang was brought in by the guards, and at this time, in the entire big tent, in addition to more than a dozen patriarchs, and the nine brothers of Chi You, plus Shang Yang, there were dozens of other guards on both sides, which could be regarded as the pinnacle of power in the entire Eastern Regions, but so many people gathered together, but it was not chaotic at all, and even everyone who was quiet could even hear the sound of their own breathing, and everyone was waiting for Chi You Jun to ask.
"I called all the patriarchs here today, there is only one purpose, that is, to discuss the next move of our army, after all, it has been a few months here, and the patriarchs can speak freely, I will not blame."
Having said that, it is not to blame, but now no one dares to express their opinions first, especially Chi You's expressionless face, others can't guess his mind at all, and the other eight kings are also expressionless, in this way, I don't know what the king means, you must know that if you guess wrong, back the king's meaning, the consequences can be very serious, since each patriarch present can do the position of the patriarch, naturally has some ability, this kind of gun shot the first bird, they decided not to come first, The best way is to find out what the Lord means and then make a decision, so after Chi You finished speaking, no one spoke, and the scene suddenly fell into silence again.
