Chapter Seventy-Five: Choice
Sanjiang Society, Council Chamber.
At this moment, a large number of Shangzhou county leaders gathered here.
Zhang Yang sat at the top, silent.
Under him, on the left and right, Luo Lie, Li Xuantian and others sat in turn.
The rest of the people, everyone sat down in turn according to the size of the sect and the strength of the sect.
Behind them stood the important figures of their own faction.
After everyone sat down in turn, Zhang Yang got up and said, "Everyone, after today's battle, our Shangzhou County no longer has to be afraid of Bujian Ting, because they are now suffering from internal and external troubles, and there is no need to worry about it at all. However, there is another powerful enemy that has surfaced, and that is the imperial court!"
When it came to the imperial court, everyone present all had a slight change in their faces.
No matter how difficult the Bujian Court is, they can deal with it if they are united, but if the imperial court wants to get rid of them, then they will face an unprecedented crisis.
Zhang Yang's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he asked, "I don't know what your plans are?"
"Alliance leader, since everyone has elected you as the leader, then you can make an idea, we all listen to you!" someone shouted.
Some people proposed, and there were more people who seconded it.
At that moment, there was another human: "Yes, everything is up to the alliance leader, what you say, do what you say." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Yang did not rush to speak, but instead set his eyes on Luo Lie and Li Xuantian.
He said solemnly: "I don't know what the two of you think about this kind of crisis at the moment?"
Luo Lie said with a calm face: "The intention of the imperial court is already obvious, in their eyes, they can't tolerate us recklessness at all, after this commotion, I'm afraid that the next action of the imperial court will be even more cruel!"
At this time, Li Xuantian also stood up, he stroked his beard and said: "The wolf ambition of the imperial court is clearly revealed, we must not sit idly by, we must think of a countermeasure in advance!"
The tone of these two Shangzhou counties is so pessimistic, which shows how grim the situation has become.
At that moment, someone couldn't help but say: "What are you afraid of, your head has fallen off a bowl and a big scar, and you will fight with them!"
"That is, if we really make a move, we will not necessarily lose if these green forest heroes in Shangzhou County add up!" shouted another outspoken man.
However, there are also pessimistic voices, and some people retorted: "Alas, you can't say that, people are regular troops, and we people, with a lot of blood, it's okay to fight hard and bravely, if we fight, we will definitely not be people's opponents!"
As soon as his words came out, they were besieged by everyone, and some people immediately scolded: "What do you mean by this? Raise the morale of others and destroy your own prestige! What's wrong with the regular troops, it's the regular troops that are fighting!"
For a while, there were different opinions, and everyone had different ideas and quarreled.
At first, it was just a verbal argument, but gradually, as the rhetoric heated up, it turned into a skirmish.
Seeing that these people were about to fight, at this time, Zhang Yang coughed heavily and said, "Everyone, can you stop for the time being and listen to me!"
Zhang Yang was regarded as the leader of the alliance by everyone, and before that, he had a strong affection for them, and everyone had to give him face.
As soon as he spoke, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent. One by one, they stretched their necks, wanting to hear what Zhang Yang had to say.
"Everyone!" Zhang Yang first clenched his fists and saluted everyone, and then said slowly: "The current predicament of the martial arts in Shangzhou County, Zhang Yang and you empathize, everyone is one, at the moment of danger again, if there is a conflict in your own home, it is difficult to ensure that outsiders will not pick up the cheap, so Zhang Yang implores you to focus on the overall situation, put aside personal grievances for the time being, and jointly resist foreign enemies, this is the key." ”
As soon as he said this, those who had just started a dispute couldn't help but blush.
The enemy hasn't come yet, but his own people are in a mess, isn't this a clear joke for people to see?
Seeing their reactions, Zhang Yang also pointed to the point, not delving into it. At the moment, Zhengse said: "In the current situation, Zhang Yang thought about it several times and thought that there were only two ways to go. Of course, if there is anything wrong with what you say, please ask your seniors to testify!"
"The alliance leader said that it doesn't matter, I'll listen to you!" everyone said politely.
Zhang Yang nodded, his gaze swept over everyone, and then said, "Right now, we have two paths to choose. The first is to surrender to the court and submit to the court, so that the grievances between the two sides can be resolved, and everyone does not need to meet each other. However, the disadvantage of this is that from now on, everyone will be subject to the control of the imperial court, but they will not be as free as they are now. The most important thing is that once we do this, we are subject to others. The fate of the future depends on the meaning of the imperial court. If they don't care about their past suspicions, that's the best. But on the other hand, if the imperial court is just hypocritical and its purpose is only to divide us, then once their purpose is successful, they will definitely retaliate on a large scale. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone on the side said loudly: "This first way will definitely not work." We are all used to being idle, if we have to be at the mercy of others in everything, and we must always guard against the other party's retaliation, it is better to kill him, even if he dies, he will die freely!
He had long expected this result, and Zhang Yang didn't care about it, and said: "This second way is naturally to fight to the end and force the imperial court not to interfere in martial arts matters." In other words, let them throw rat traps and dare not act rashly!"
"Don't dare to act rashly? Then what should we do? The imperial court has a large number of soldiers and horses, and if it wants to deal with us, it does not have much concern at all, but we have to be on guard against the imperial court at all times!" Someone questioned the second way Zhang Yang's statement.
Zhang Yang said: "Your Excellency is right, at the moment, we are weak, and the imperial court will naturally not be afraid." Therefore, the most important task is to attract a strong and powerful foreign aid! Only when our strength is strong will the imperial court have some scruples!"
When he said this, everyone became even more curious. Shangzhou County is so big, and there are only a few powerful forces. Those who can be won over have already been won over by their own side. Where else to go to win over the forces, and it is a strong and powerful force!
"Actually, you seem to have forgotten the most powerful group in the county, if they help, then even the imperial court must be afraid of three points!" Zhang Yang said with an unfathomable smile.
"The most powerful group?" everyone's eyes widened, as if they understood something. After a long time, someone asked suspiciously: "Alliance leader, do you mean ......?"
