Chapter Eighty-Five: The Hand of the Water

Lin Feng and Li Congqian got into the carriage and told the groom to go back to the Huang Mansion directly.

The carriage started, Lin Feng looked out through the window for a while, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, he turned around and asked Li Congqian: "Congqian, you won't blame me for making my own decisions in front of Ma Xixu, right?" ”

Li Congqian grinned and said, "Mr. Lin, it's still fun for you to bluff and scare people!" I won't, of course I'm going to trouble Mr. Lin to sing this black face! ”

Seeing the smile on Lin Feng's face, Li Congqian threw out a question that had been in his heart for a long time: "Mr. Lin, after you entered the city, did you publicly punish the murderers, try the conference, distribute money in public, and jointly build a supermarket, are you all fighting for the hearts of the people, soldiers, wealthy businessmen and even officials of the Chu State for my Datang?" ”

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction and said softly, "I am indeed working towards this goal!" If you want others to switch to you, you have to have something that attracts them! On the surface, there are things such as interests, remuneration, rules and regulations, but in essence, there is respect, fairness, and trust for everyone, so that people can see hope and confidence. ”

Li Congqian listened carefully, nodded and pondered. After a while, he raised his head, stared at Lin Feng with blazing eyes, and asked again, "Then, Mr. Lin, we have done so many things, we should have won the hearts of most people, right?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head with a wry smile and asked rhetorically, "You and Chen Fei went to comfort the victims of the people outside the city a few days ago, how many households did they help in total?" ”

Li Congqian thought about it seriously and replied loudly: "Eighty-seven households! ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Eighty-seven households, compared with the total number of households on both sides of the Xiangjiang River and Tanzhou City, it can be said that it is completely insignificant; Just as we have done so many things, for the millions of Chinese people in the Chu State, the strength and breadth of influence are even more insignificant! Therefore, it is still very far from winning the hearts and minds of the people!

Congqian, I wonder if you have ever played such a game? If you want to turn the water in a large tank of water, you must put your hand deep into it, stir vigorously, and keep stirring before the water can turn; What if it's not a tank of water, but a pool of water, a big river, a sea? How much wind does it take to blow it and make it a huge wave? ”

The light in Li Congqian's eyes suddenly dimmed a little, and he lowered his head.

Lin Feng patted Li Congqian's shoulder and comforted him: "Congqian, don't be so depressed! One thing we must see is that it will be difficult for us to stir a pool of water out of thin air, but if someone has already stirred up a pool of water, we just join in halfway, take advantage of the wind and take advantage of the trend, and increase the force a little, wouldn't it be much easier? ”

Li Congqian tilted his head and thought about it, and laughed unfreely. But isn't it, this Chu country has become like this, the water has long been stirred, and what to do now is to push the waves. And the comparison between the two can better highlight the goodness of Datang.

Thinking of this, Li Congqian raised his head high and laughed loudly with Lin Feng.

While Lin Feng and the others were laughing in the car, the atmosphere in the Chu Palace's mansion was extremely awkward.

was originally going to celebrate the tone of the celebration, but Lin Feng and Li Congqian made a small fuss before the opening with black faces, and the atmosphere began to change quietly. Especially when Ma Xichong read out a list of official appointments and dismissals, the atmosphere on the field immediately began to polarize.

The list of appointments and dismissals of "Pork Splitting" is very long, but there is a lot worth reading in it:

Ma Xichong served as the envoy of Wuping Festival;

Wang Kui, Zhou Xingfeng, He Jingzhen, and Xu Wei served as the commanders of Ma Bujun, and Xu Wei concurrently served as the city guard of Tanzhou;

Xie Yanhao served as the governor of the Chu Prince's Mansion;

Sun Lang and Cao Jin served as deputy commanders of the navy;

……

Xu Qiong, who was sitting in the first seat of the generals, heard from the beginning to the end, and found that there was no name of his own, and his face immediately pulled the old elder, and the wine glass in his hand slammed on the table.

At the beginning, Xu Qiong betrayed Tanzhou City and Ma Xiguang as a "king of Eastern Chu", thinking that he would become the first king of Chu as he wished, but on the day the city was broken, he found that Ma Xicao had other arrangements, and the guards at the east gate were all Ma Xichong's people from top to bottom, and the east gate was also open to the gate, and the main tribal soldiers of the siege entered the city from the east gate!

In the same way since ancient times, one internal should be valuable, and two internal should not be so valuable!

After the city of Tanzhou was broken, although Ma Xicao and Ma Xichong were polite and respectful to Xu Qiong on the surface, they were more enthusiastic about the many commanders of Tanzhou. At the same time, the two of them never mentioned anything about the "King of Eastern Chu", and Xu Qiong's face was still not thick enough, and she was embarrassed to take the initiative to ask.

Yes, now Ma Xicao has taken a step further, Sun Lang and Cao Jin know that Lu Dao is Ma Xichong's person, and the two of them are serving as the deputy commanders of the navy at the same time, which is obviously to empty themselves!

Xu Qiong was angry because she was not promoted as she wished, while Wang Kui and Zhou Xingfeng were angry for their promotion.

The commander of the Ma Bujun sounds very majestic, but now that the whole country of Chu has less than six thousand horse troops, the Ma army naturally does not have much prestige to talk about. Besides, the commander of the Ma Bu Army was originally a temporary official position, and a person with high prestige would be appointed to take on the role when there was a war, but now, suddenly he was appointed as the commander of the Ma Bu Army, what is this called? The most annoying thing is that Xu Wei was originally just a deputy general under Ma Xixu, but now, he has also been promoted to three levels in a row, and he has directly become the commander of Ma Bujun, and he is also the city guard of Tanzhou, which is the real position of real power!

They were angry, and Liu Yan, who was sitting in front of them, was even more angry, he was a lot older, and he ran back and forth with Ma Xicao's saddle, and he didn't catch anything after getting the most, neither rising nor descending.

On the field, the laughter of Xie Yanhao, Xu Wei, Sun Lang, Cao Jin and others became louder and louder, while the faces of Xu Qiong, Wang Kui and others became more and more pale, and the wine and food in front of them did not move.

However, compared to these people who can still sit in the banquet and have wine and meat to eat in Tanzhou City, Panlong, who is far away in Chenzhou, has long been hungry, his legs are shaking unfreely, and people are about to run apart, and everything in front of him will be associated with the Tujia pig's bacon and slag baked cakes.

"Big brother, we will arrive at Qinglong Gorge soon, only twenty miles away from Chenzhou, as long as we arrive at Chenzhou City, we will be safe!" Pansong's hair, already soaked in sweat, knotted with sweat, hung down in front of his face and behind his head, and he said loudly.

As long as I don't die, I will definitely settle accounts with you! Panlong didn't answer, gritted his teeth and secretly hated the high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty who led him down the evil path.

I think that at the beginning, when I led the children of the clan out of Chenzhou, Ma Xicao sent them from afar, good wine and food, and provided him like an uncle. Originally, he was in Tanzhou City, and his wealth was in his hands, but he sent himself into such a dangerous situation for a job that looked beautiful.

It's a pity that there are a few beautiful ladies in Langzhou City! Pan Long suddenly remembered this incident in his heart at this moment.

Panlong shook his head fiercely, trying to open his eyes and look forward, the most dangerous road in the north of Chenzhou, Qinglong Gorge, was in front of him.

"Eagles of Bizka, the White Tiger Ancestral God is watching his people from the sky, don't let the Ancestral God down! Everyone, rush! Panlong shouted in a hoarse voice, and he took the lead in rushing towards the mouth of the Qinglong Canyon.

"Whew", the remnants of the Tujia family, who were already tired and tired, shouted in unison, and rushed towards the valley with trembling steps.
