Volume I, Dongyi Tribe 138.Don't give time to prepare
The most taboo above the court is to come out first, no matter how much you want to express your thoughts in a hurry, you must also find the right time, after all, the king's meaning is in addition to himself, others can only secretly figure it out, in case of a wrong guess, the impact is very large, at least it will be suppressed by colleagues with different political views, and at worst it will cause the king's disgust, the blow to his status is very huge, one wrong step, no one can recover, so no one will come out easily...
Now the situation has become such an embarrassing situation, all the people here are patriarchs, not to mention each person, but they have also gone through a lot of winds and waves, no longer a fledgling hairy boy, and they are also very measured in their work, and they will not easily show their meaning, and there are constantly people secretly observing the faces of the nine brothers of Chi You, wanting to see something, but unfortunately Chi You and others are expressionless, and they do not show a trace at all, which also makes them more cautious, for fear that they will guess wrong, causing the disgust of the king, but although the meaning of the king cannot be understood, But there is also a person in the field that Chi You trusts the most, that is Shang Yang, as Chi You's most trusted minister, he will definitely know what Chi You means very well, so some patriarchs who have a good relationship with Shang Yang in private frequently glance at him, hoping that he can reveal a thing or two.
At this time, Shang Yang also understands that the king can ignore the thoughts of his subordinates, and he can't, he must release a signal to some people, otherwise maybe this matter is really not easy to do today, in case of mistakes, it is very problematic, maybe it will cause Chi You to be angry, and the final result must be that his close minister did not deal with it well, which has always been more rigorous Shang Yang, this kind of low-level mistake he will never make a mistake.
A slight nod to the several patriarchs who greeted them in advance, which is an affirmation, and it is also a concern that the other party will come forward first to say the meaning of retreating, those patriarchs saw Shang Yang's actions, and their hearts also made huge waves, with their trust in Shang Yang, they have already known the meaning of the king in advance, but this does not mean that they dare to come forward first, you must know that the May Day who can want to retreat at this time is not a relatively weak patriarch, for them, on such occasions, their right to speak is relatively weak, I am usually more cautious in doing things, and I don't dare to come out easily, and now it is a little difficult for them to make such a big decision.
In fact, Shang Yang also thought about this problem, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't let the king propose to retreat first, if that was the case, his own advisor was really incompetent, so even if Chi You could put down his majesty, he would never agree, and those alliance leaders all wanted to continue fighting, after all, for them, only by continuing to fight, their interests were the greatest, and they could ensure their stable position to the greatest extent, so looking for them, it would never work, and they didn't even dare to reveal it easily, If there is a little rumor leaked, then this group of forces will unite, and Chi You may also have a headache, so he can only not give them time to secretly unite and be caught off guard.
And those small tribal patriarchs are different, after such a long period of westward expedition, their own strength will be damaged to a certain extent, and if they continue, it is really a little unbearable, so they are unswervingly supportive of the retreat, and if they stay for a moment longer, the blow to the tribe is very huge, and they really can't afford it, which is also the reason why Shang Yang found them, when they knew Chi You's decision, these little patriarchs were relieved, but Shang Yang asked him to come out, but it made these people hesitate.
Anyway, the current situation is like this, the nine brothers of Chiyou are also very patient to wait, who will speak first, and do not urge, give everyone enough time to think, it can be regarded as a fair discussion, it is definitely not possible to drag on like this, although Shang Yang is anxious and secretly scolds these little patriarchs for their incompetence, but he is also powerless, after all, everyone has their own concerns, and he also knows the thoughts of these little patriarchs, if it is him, he does not dare to make a decision easily.
The words are good, but when things come to their heads, those are two different things, which also has a lot to do with everyone's character, but wealth and wealth are in danger, the last little patriarch was ruthless and took the lead in standing up, which also attracted everyone's attention, even the nine brothers of Chiyou looked at him together, everyone looked at him expectantly, curious, surprised, maybe in the eyes of many people, this kind of little person sitting at the bottom of the throne, also has such great courage, some people even think that he is a novice who does not understand politics, The stunned boy who is blindly not afraid of death, really thinks that it is so easy to come out first, and many people look lively.
Only Shang Yang, who arranged everything in advance, and those little patriarchs who had the same point of view as him knew what he meant, and now someone took the initiative to stand up first, but they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were a little envious, if they can win Chi You's happiness, then the future status is not a rising tide, thinking about this, many people can't help but regret it, but if they choose again, I believe that they still dare not stand up first.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, the last little patriarch tried his best to calm down his emotions, and in the face of everyone's burning eyes, he could only choose to ignore it, and slowly said:
"Chi Youjun, subordinates, subordinates..."
A little speechless for a while, this is not to blame him for this, such a scene is indeed a bit beyond his ability for him, everyone present is taller than himself, he has now become the protagonist, how can he be calm, not directly frightened speechless, even if the performance is okay, but a slight tremor is still unavoidable, fortunately, the behavior is especially there, so he was not ridiculed by his colleagues, otherwise he really can't continue to stand, and may be paralyzed directly to the ground.
This is not his incompetence, in such a hierarchical occasion today, these little patriarchs of them do not have much right to speak, it is already a great honor to be able to participate, how dare to consider others, such an era of strength respect, he is like this, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is a big man, but in front of the lord of the Eastern Regions, it is nothing at all, as much as a cow's hair, but fortunately, Chiyou did not treat him too harshly, he was accustomed to such a scene, not only did not urge, but patiently smiled and motioned for him to continue.
Chi Youjun's encouraging eyes gave him great courage, he took a deep breath, took out all the strength of his body, and continued to speak:
"Chi Youjun, my subordinates think that it is not appropriate for our army to continue to send troops at this time, and we should withdraw our troops",
"Oh? What do you think? ”
"Now that the weather is getting colder, it is not suitable for combat, and we continue to go deep behind enemy lines, the supply of grain and grass will produce a great burden, and over time, the impact on our army will become greater and greater."
Seeing that Chi You didn't mean to blame, he also talked about his own opinions, and it can be seen from the reasons he said that he is not useless, and he also has some of his own opinions, and it is really good to be able to put forward his own opinions according to the actual situation.
And for others, these words came out, it was really amazing, no one expected that the point he put forward first was to retreat, and it seemed to be very reasonable, this is undoubtedly a naked provocation for those alliance leaders who have always wanted to attack, how can they bear it, at this time, someone can no longer care about anything else, and he doesn't look at Chi You's expression, Teng stood up, shouted and scolded, eager to eat him alive, in their opinion, such a little patriarch is too bold, and he has secretly hated it in his heart.
"Evil words confuse the public, where did the little patriarch come from, dare to despise our soldiers in the Eastern Regions."
"That's right, our soldiers in the Eastern Regions are invincible, and it's just a small difficulty, so why worry about it, don't disturb the morale of the army here."
The majesty of several alliance leaders struck, and the little patriarch didn't dare to speak anymore, and his heart became even more afraid, but the stubbornness was still there, after all, he knew what Chi You Jun meant, and he was not really afraid, they, but they couldn't adapt to such a target, and it was also that these alliance leaders were too anxious, and they were used to showing off their prestige, and they were opposed by others, how could they easily swallow this breath, but there were still people who kept calm, because they saw Chi You's face gradually coming down.
Could it be that Chi Youjun wants to retire from the army, seeing this, some people began to ponder the causes and consequences of this matter, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that such a little patriarch has no room to speak on such an occasion, but he was the first to stand up, without being instructed by anyone, they definitely don't believe it, since there is an instruction, then the personnel are obvious, thinking of this, they began to sweat coldly, and secretly rejoiced that they did not speak out against it, and sat quietly still.
The whole scene became more and more chaotic, what made people wonder was that Chi Youjun didn't say anything against it, just quietly watched the argument between the two sides, the so-called argument was also one person to several people, a small patriarch to several alliance leaders, it is conceivable how the battle situation was one-sided, the little patriarch did not dare to speak, and only those alliance leaders who stood up were aggressive towards him, gradually, these people also felt that there was not much need for such a small patriarch, some stopped, or it may be that the attitude of the small patriarch made them feel unpleasant, The scene slowly returned to its previous calm.
But the smart people have already felt a slight difference, all the alliance leaders are not all opposed, and there are only a few of them, they are a little uneasy in their hearts, they turned their heads to look at the upper position, and found that Chi Youjun's face was already extremely ugly, and they were shocked and uneasy, and they had been reflecting and pondering in their hearts, and the more they thought about it, the more scared they became.
This can be seen in the power of Shang Yang, he is using such a small patriarch to divert hatred, so that these alliance leaders have no time to unite, because of concerns that lead to disunity, so that they can better break through.
