Chapter 296: Stability (1)
Zhou Lao finally announced that the final candidate for the state pastor was Cao Xing, for this appointment, Zhou Lao didn't say anything, and sat on the seat with a relieved face, and at the same time, Zhou Lao didn't look at Lin Lao and Meng Lao next to him, that was a little weird look.
Although from the eyes of their two elders, Zhou Lao also clearly felt anger, indignation, and other emotions, but Zhou Lao ignored it and just smiled.
That's right, their final decision before this was that the candidate for the governor should be Zhang Yang, and it was Lin Lao who first put forward this idea, and then Meng Lao also echoed, Zhou Lao watched the two of them sing and harmonize, and knew what the two of them were thinking.
In the end, Zhou Lao only nodded indifferently, because Zhou Lao also knew that since the two of them had agreed, even if he didn't agree, there was nothing to be done, after all, he was weak.
But now Zhou Lao can announce in a grand manner that Cao Xing will serve as the state pastor, for two reasons, first of all, Cao Xing seems to be in line with the candidate in his mind, when the people in this troubled world are precious, this is the true idea in his heart, after all, Zhou Lao is different from them, does not belong to the ranks of the family, since he wants to be elected, then more or less with a little conscience, Cao Xuan is indeed better than Zhang Yang.
Secondly, Zhou Lao also spread his hands helplessly, looked at the people around him, he can shirk this responsibility completely, they are the third elders, they are highly respected, no matter what they do, they must convince people with virtue, but now the surrounding people are surrounded by excitement, he seems to have been pushed to the cusp, and finally Zhou Lao seems to be telling Lin Lao and Meng Lao, this is none of his business, when this situation has been pushed to the forefront, what else can he say?
Therefore, in the face of this kind of situation, in the face of the laughter and laughter of the people, Lin Lao and Meng Lao could only nod with a smiling face in the end, after all, if it were announced by them instead, it is estimated that they would only be like Zhou Lao, announcing Cao Xing as the state pastor.
And Cao Xing accepted this appointment with a smile, and he successfully used public opinion to allow himself to obtain the position of Bingzhou Road, in the sense of the name, that is, from today onwards, every inch of land under the rule of the entire Bingzhou. All belong to him.
Of course. This is just an ideal state, a few families are happy and a few are worried, Cao Xing serves as the pastor of the state, it seems that many people do not want to see it, and in the eyes of many people, Cao Xing's means are so despicable, it is really angry and resentful, and the crime is unforgivable, Zhu Zhai and others shook their heads helplessly when they saw this, after all, their skills are not as good as others, so it can only be so, if they are smart, they should make plans now, either to accept Cao Xing, or to find another way.
However, for all these decisions, there is no need for Cao Xing to do it so suddenly, because there are still people who don't like Cao Xing, needless to say, those people are naturally Zhang Yang and others, when Zhou Lao announced the news that Cao Xing was the pastor of the state, Zhang Yang only felt that it seemed that in his ears, a shocking thunder exploded.
He has done his best to join the position of state pastor, whether it is money or spirit, he has spent a lot, but in the end it is this result.
But what kind of expression Zhang Yang was, Cao Xing didn't have time to pay attention, he stood directly in place, expressed his gratitude to many people, and then took his subordinates and prepared to return to the post house, and then he was ready to take over the position of the governor naturally.
However, when Cao Xing walked halfway, Cao Xing couldn't help but stop, he could feel that the people around him were all frightened and detoured, just because there was already a group of soldiers behind Cao Xing, walking towards him with a monstrous momentum, from them, Cao Xing could feel a strong murderous aura.
Even Cao Xing, without looking back, knew that the person who came was none other than Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang was in order to join the position of the state pastor. smashed so many tickets, but now that he missed out on this position, how could he get his wish in his heart.
So he can't care so much when he's in a grumpy mood, since he wants to play, then play a little ruthlessly, his face has been completely torn, there's no need to care about something else, just do it if you don't accept it.
In the face of this group of people who were already extremely angry at this moment, Cao Xuan didn't need to say anything, and slowly turned around with Zhou Cang and the others, facing this group of people, with a smile on his face.
Seeing that Cao Xing was still laughing at the moment, Zhang Yang's whole person was also angry, and he shouted, letting his subordinates rush directly and completely solve Cao Xing.
If it was before, Cao Xuan might have been able to flee in embarrassment in the face of these people's pursuit, but this time, in the face of these people, a hint of a playful smile directly rose on Cao Xing's face, and he turned back with Zhou Cang and the others, staring at Zhang Yang with burning eyes.
Cao Xing shouted, take my broad-headed knife, and Zhou Cang immediately took off the broad-headed knife on his back. Then it was handed over to Cao Xuan, and at this moment Cao Xuan looked at these soldiers from the past, which were also mixed with Zhang Yang, Yang Chou and others, today seems to be a good time.
Cao Xuan roared, his eyes burst out with terrifying bloodshots, he carried a big knife, rushed into the group of soldiers like the wind, and then began a crazy slaughter.
Holding a huge broad-headed knife Cao Xing, his hand rose and fell, constantly harvesting people's heads, and Zhou Cang and others followed closely, also holding knives, constantly killing the incoming enemy.
Cao Xing's martial arts are already good, and now he has reached the peak of the sixfold martial arts, and Zhou Cang has reached the sevenfold martial arts, the two of them fought hard, and the soldiers behind were all demoralized. Begin a frantic fight.
In the end, the three elders did not hand over the candidate for the state pastor to Zhang Yang, which can be regarded as completely offending Zhang Yang to death, not to mention, Lin Lao and Meng Lao received money from others, and now they don't give their official positions to others, so Lin Lao and Meng Lao also feel very embarrassed.
Now that Zhang Yangqi is from his heart, he can't care about so many rules, and directly took more than 1,000 people under his command and began to fight with Cao Xing on the streets frantically.
Under the anger of Zhang Yang, it can be said that he tried his best to kill more than 1,000 of his subordinates, but at this moment, Cao Xing's side plus Zhou Cang's guards, there are only more than 100 people, this ratio of ten to one. There is no hope of victory.
Originally, Zhang Yang also saw this, and the fight can be described as a rainbow, but as time went by, they found that it seemed that something was wrong, although Cao Xuan only had more than a hundred people, but no matter what, Cao Xing's small group of people was always strong, but they were not defeated.
Zhang Yang and the others, who had been sitting in the rear commanding, were very puzzled in their hearts. This doesn't make sense. However, Zhang Yanggu and others only found out after a closer look, why they couldn't kill Cao Xing with a ratio of ten to one, there was no other reason, just because their more than 1,000 soldiers, when they continued to kill Cao Xing and others, from the streets on both sides, it seemed that some people would jump out from time to time. Take out your dagger and harass them.
Of course, after all, they belong to the sequence of officers and soldiers, and ordinary street people definitely don't have the courage to oppose them, so these people are just dressed up, like ordinary people, but they are actually from the army.
Zhang Yang was even more angry when he saw this, he gritted his teeth, he could see that these people were clearly those who were dressed as people on the streets, and they were there to see the wind and rudder, constantly fanning the flames, and finally luring the people in the county to push Cao Xing to the position of the governor of the state, so what he hated about these people was itching at the root of his teeth, and he even personally carried a sword and directly killed this group of people.
However, this pile of people led by Che Wu was very peculiar, and the clothes on their bodies were completely the clothes of the common people, but each of them had a short dagger in his arms. As soon as the flamboyant approaches, they will not hesitate to draw their daggers and fight in close combat while dodging with skillful movements.
Anyway, ordinary soldiers, they really can't help it. The group of people led by Che Wu looked bustling, but each of them was strong in combat.
If you ask why they didn't appear by Cao Xing's side in the first place, the reason is very simple, Cao Xing gave them other tasks.
Cao Xuan walked into this county town, and Zhang Yang and others felt that there were not many guards around, and even because of Jia Xu's illness, Cao Xuan took a large part of the soldiers to escort Jia Xu back, but these were only on the surface.
When Cao Xing realized the words that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, he immediately let Che Wu act, and the process of action is actually very simple, if it is simple, it is to go deep into the people. Lay a good foundation for the masses.
In these birthdays, what Che Wu did was to promote Cao Xing's goodness everywhere in all corners of the county, and explain to everyone a series of policies used by Cao Xing in Bianyun County, which can be said to be for the country and the people.
Everyone is not stupid, and the people thought about it for a while, and they also felt the benefits of Cao Xing. Cao Xing has done a lot of good things for the people, which everyone has heard, anyway, if Cao Xing is allowed to become the governor of this state, I believe that Cao Xing will do more good things that are beneficial to the people.
As for saying that Zhang Yang Zhu Zhai and others did any good things for the people under their rule during their tenure, I have never heard of this. Therefore, Cao Xing's reputation has been settled in the hearts of many people.
But then again, even if many people want Cao Xing to take up the position of governor of the state, they are just ordinary ordinary people, with no soldiers and no power in their hands, and there is no way to decide who can be the governor of the state.
But then Cao Xing's performance, but deeply moved everyone, Cao Xing's post station collapsed, this is obviously someone deliberately wanted to assassinate Cao Xing, Cao Xing was in a weak state, and won the sympathy of many people, and then Cao Xing made up a bunch of feudal superstitions with nonsense. pushed the voice of public opinion to a climax.
