Chapter 154: Convening a Meeting
Chen Shu finished his words in one breath, closed his eyes and let out a sigh. He had done his best, he had never given such a long speech before, and he didn't know whether he could move people or not. Now, it's up to these people to react.
In the venue, there was silence for a while. There were a lot of people who were thinking about what he had just said. However, it can be seen that at least a considerable number of people are infected by the good life he depicts, and their faces are red with excitement. After a while, they began to talk to each other, many people still didn't understand much, although Chen Shu had tried his best to use simple and easy-to-understand words, but when he said these words, he inevitably brought some more written words, and many people still didn't understand it too well, and they were whispering to their companions.
The seeds of inspiration have been planted, and it has to be given some time to ferment and grow, and it is obviously impossible for these people to be demoralized all at once. Chen Shu nodded and said, "That's all I want to say, please think about it." For the sake of your wives and children, for the sake of our descendants not to live like this again, are you willing to fight with your heads held high, or do you die here in your nests? It's all up to you, the choice is yours. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked back, nodding to Geng Shanyun.
At this time, Geng Shanyun and the others were also a little stupid when they heard it, after all, they had never heard such a novel and bold remark from anyone. Even Huang Rong looked at Chen Shu thoughtfully, and Xiao Zhonghui was even more stunned.
Geng Shanyun quickly came back to his senses, waved his hand to Ge Zonghan and the others, and shouted: "Damn, don't be stunned, let everyone disperse, ah? What Chen Gongzi said, everyone should think about it, anyway, I think it makes sense." ”
At this time, the resistance of the rebels disappeared unconsciously, and they talked to each other in groups about what Chen Shu had just said, and slowly dispersed. While there are still many who are skeptical, there are at least a significant number of others who are no longer as depressed as they once were. There was a bit of a sparkle in his eyes.
In the final analysis, no one wants to sink and wait for death in such a desperate situation, the most important thing is whether they will believe that an outsider like Chen Shu can take them out of a desperate situation.
Chen Shu walked in front of Xiao Zhonghui. Seeing that she was still bowing her head and pondering, she couldn't help but laugh, and said to her: "Huihui, don't think about it, gather the reliable leaders." Let's have a meeting. ”
Xiao Zhonghui looked at him in a daze, let out an "ah" for a while, suddenly his face was flushed, and he said embarrassedly: "That...... What did you say?"
Seeing that she was in a state of despair, Chen Shu couldn't help but shake his head and said in a low voice, "Huihui, you can't do this. From now on, you have to be the backbone of all the people here. Be firm, composed, and confident at all times, so that everyone else can rest assured. You understand? It's not just for your father. It's also for me. ”
Xiao Zhonghui lowered her eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "Ah Shu, it turns out that you really want to ......" There was a slight weirdness in his tone.
Chen Shu nodded and said: "Yes, this is my ambition, do you remember the tragic scenes we saw when we were in the sword rivers and lakes? I want to change the world, expel Hu Lu, and establish a strong and prosperous Chinese China." Would you like to help me?"
Xiao Zhonghui thought for a while and sighed: "It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." ”
Chen Shu smiled and said, "No, you can definitely do it." My Master. She has always been a warm, brave, and chivalrous girl. As long as you can stick to your heart and treat everyone, you are a good leader. It's just that I've been the leader of so many people. You can't be frizzy when doing things, you must think carefully. ”
Xiao Zhonghui said with some distress: "Alas, I'm really a little scared." By the way, why don't you do it yourself? Uncle Shi and I will definitely support you. I see that after today's events, everyone will obey you. ”
Chen Shu shook his head and said with a smile: "Good girl." Don't be stupid. No matter how I am, I've only been here for two days, and I'm just an outsider, do you think it's appropriate? You're the most suitable. I don't know how your father's injuries are now, but I see that he has an injury to the inside of his head, and when we rush out, we must send him to be treated as soon as possible. During this time, the burden is on you, so many people are looking at you, you must work harder. Don't be afraid, you can do a good job, don't forget that you are Xiao Banhe's daughter. ”
Xiao Zhonghui bit her lip, looked up at him, nodded, and said, "I know, Ah Shu, I have always wanted to do something for my father, and I will also share your worries well by your side." I'll try, but you're going to have to help me more, you know?"
Chen Shu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked Xiao Zhonghui to be the leader of this rebel army, although this has a certain amount of selfishness, but it is also a logical thing. First, they seem to have a strong feudal concept, the father and son inherit the position, and after Xiao Banhe and Chen Songsheng had an accident, they were divided into two parties, Xiao Zhonghui and Chen Xiang. The second is that there are no other talents with leadership ability in this righteous army, Geng Shanyun is not good, and others are even worse. Although Xiao Zhonghui said that she has no experience, she at least has a very good personality. She is warm, generous, compassionate, and supportive. With her as the leader is the best result for this rebel army with a rough fate. And she herself can exercise her ability in this position, which is also very beneficial.
Chen Shu was in a hurry to convene this meeting, which was the previous tirade, all of which were aimed at the low-level soldiers of the righteous army. And the middle and high-level leaders, who are the backbone of the army, obviously need to be appeased, and it just clarifies Xiao Zhonghui's status.
Xiao Zhonghui and Geng Shanyun discussed for a while, set a list, and invited them separately.
It didn't take long for these people to come to the shack one after another. Chen Shu sat in the corner, carefully observing and looking at everyone. It can be seen that these people still have some doubts in their expressions, especially after the He Xiyang incident, everyone has some ideas.
There were no Zuo brothers at the meeting, because Chen Shu's request was that he must be reliable and not a spy. Although the brothers finally turned back, they inevitably fell into the impression of a wall grass.
On Chen Shu's side, in addition to Jiang Hongying and Li Guangjiu, Huang Rong was also pulled in by him. When it comes to Bing Xue's intelligence, there are few people in the world who can compare with Rong'er, so he naturally has to cultivate it well.
After everyone sat down, a man couldn't wait to shout: "Old Geng, what are you doing here?"
Geng Shanyun is also not very clear, to put it bluntly, these people do not have the habit of holding meetings, and most of the things that are usually decided by the leaders themselves, and the people below do it. He laughed and said, "Little rabbit, what are you anxious about? Well, this Chen Gongzi and Chen Shaoxia, you have already seen it today, right? He has something he wants to tell you, listen to it for me." ”
Everyone looked at Chen Shu, thinking that they had seen enough today, at such a young age, it was rare to be able to say like this, and they didn't know what to say.
Chen Shu stood up and arched his hand: "Brothers, under Chen Shu, I will greet you first." ”
Everyone saw that he was humble and polite, and they were busy returning the salute one by one, and some people laughed: "Chen Shaoxia, don't be polite, today's words are really eye-opening for us." ”
Others echoed one after another, most of these people are pro-Xiao Banhe, and the relationship between Xiao Zhonghui and Chen Shu is not a secret, to put it bluntly, they are their own people, and this bit of face still has to be given.
Chen Shu smiled: "Big brothers, you don't have to laugh at the little brothers." Well, please come here to discuss how we can break out of this encirclement, I don't know what you think?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was gloomy, and someone shook his head and said: "What can be done, we are not immortals." The Qing army is so strong, we can't beat it, I think the best way is to disperse and escape. ”
Geng Shanyun shouted angrily: "Fart! Hu Monkey, don't talk nonsense to me, listen to Chen Shaoxia!"
Chen Shu smiled and said, "This big brother is actually right, the Qing army is indeed powerful, and we will definitely not be able to fight hard." I don't talk nonsense, I have a plan, and while it's not foolproof, it's better than holding back. ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly shouted: "Son, please speak!"
Chen Shu walked to the door and waved Guo Lesuan to patrol around to avoid anyone eavesdropping. He walked back, took a wooden stick, drew a few strokes on the wooden table, looked up and said, "Everyone, we are now trapped in the strange stone slope of Tianji Ridge. There are tens of thousands of Qing soldiers around here. There were three roads on both sides, and the camp of the Qing commander Ferrodo was on the north side. Blocking the main road to the north. The roads to the east and southwest were also garrisoned by Qing troops. Although the terrain of Qishipo is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the access road is not very convenient, which adds a lot of difficulty to the breakthrough. When we brought in, it was thanks to the lax guards of the Qing soldiers last night that we were able to come in. ”
Everyone looked over to the table, and most of the people here had been here for ten days, but they didn't know anything about the terrain. Unexpectedly, this young man had just arrived yesterday, and today he was able to draw the surrounding terrain at will, and they couldn't help but be suspicious and secretly surprised.
In fact, when Chen Shu was in the camp of the Qing army, Mingzhu pretended to visit the moon at night, in addition to transferring the main force of the Qing army, he also had the intention of observing the terrain, and took the opportunity to go to the east and southwest of the two military camps to see. This morning, I walked around with Xiao Zhonghui again, and although the terrain was not familiar, I also had a general understanding.
He continued: "Although the siege of the Qing army is tight, there is a fatal problem, and this is our opportunity. ”
Everyone looked puzzled, Chen Shu raised the branch, lightly drew on the table, and said: "The main camp of the Qing army and the east camp are not far apart, but on the southwest camp, there is a large forest separating it, and the road is relatively complicated and distant. Let's just do something from here. ”
The others were confused, and Fang Xinlan shouted: "Chen Shaoxia, Chen Zuzong, Chen Dajunshi, can you explain it quickly?
Xiao Zhonghui frowned slightly when she heard this, and Fang Xinlan hurriedly smiled: "Ouch, good girl, I didn't take advantage of you, I said it smoothly for a while, damn it!"
Xiao Zhonghui's face turned red, and he said angrily: "It has nothing to do with me! ”
Everyone was happy, Chen Shu was also smiling, and when everyone finished laughing, he shouted: "General Fei, please come in!" (To be continued.) )
