Chapter 237 Infighting
"There is nothing to say. If Chang'an City wants to develop, it will be a matter of time before the annexation of Longcheng. Since they are ignorant and want to cause trouble, they just take this opportunity to catch them all in one go!" Sun Tong was a firm war faction.
"No, you must not be reckless. Chang'an City is at a critical moment of development. How can we start the battle lightly? We just need to agree perfunctorily and find a way to delay it. Within two months, Chang'an City's strength will increase several times. By then, the counter-gangs in Longcheng will be like taking things out of their pockets." Master Hu Liu firmly disagrees with the war.
Ning Chuyun and Ning Chuyu are also on the list, but the two sisters are not from Chang'an City after all, and it is not convenient for them to interfere in the internal affairs of Chang'an City, so they don't speak.
As for senior executives such as Zhang Tiancheng, Ning Xuan, Qian Feng, Zhan Yingyang and Liu Qingche, they also had a lot of opinions and were difficult to unify.
The scene gradually got out of control. Although each of them had good selfish relationships, no one allowed anyone to let him go. After all, every hasty decision could put Chang'an City in trouble. Everyone felt that their ideas were correct and wanted to convince the other party.
"Don't argue, let's deal with them first. I don't know what the lord is planning? Take it easy and don't ruin the lord's affairs." Ning Xuan is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and is very independent. In such a formal occasion, she calls Chen Meng very formal, and she speaks of lord one by one.
"Okay! No more arguing! There is no result after arguing. Come and vote? One person, one vote, and the minority obeys the majority. How about it?" Sun Tong stood up and came up with a note.
Sun Tong's proposal was approved, and then more than a dozen people present, including commanders of major legions. After three minutes, the result came out. Most of them chose to perfunctory Ye and how long it could be to delay, and then wait until Chen Meng comes back.
Sun Tong didn't expect that it was the result. He sat there with a pale face and said no more.
"Report!" At this time, a spy from outside came to report, and Ye E of Longcheng issued an ultimatum again. Thirty minutes later, he did not agree to the conditions of 20% of the tax. Then the alliance to challenge Chen immediately gathered a team to attack Chang'an City.
This news made everyone's faces gloomy, and Ye E was too bullying.
"Everyone, it's not my recklessness. The other party is just a group of scattered soldiers. What's the point? I have 180,000 powerful soldiers in Chang'an City, and I can't beat them?"
"And Chang'an City has a defense system, so you don't need to be afraid at all. Since someone wants to provoke us, it is just right to take the opportunity to establish his authority and kill one to warn a hundred. In this way, it will be easier to conquer other cities around you. Otherwise, it will appear weak and bullied. Anyone with some strength will have to negotiate with us, which is passive."
"If you don't agree, I will lead my 20,000 troops to meet this bullshit alliance. If something goes wrong, I will tell my lord myself."
"It's my brothers. Everyone stand up, follow me, order all the troops and prepare for the battle!" Sun Tong stood up, his eyes were like a raging, and looked at everyone present, expressing his attitude.
"Okay, Lao Sun, since you said that, I support you." Qian Feng, Zhan Yingyang, Liu Qingche and Huo Lin'er all stood up. These people controlled the four large legions of Chang'an City, with a total of more than 80,000 people.
Chu Jiangyun, Xu Luping, Yang Baili, Qu Zheng, Wu Hongfei and others also controlled four large armies, with about 100,000 people. These people were the leader of Chu Jiangyun and did not speak.
"Brother Sun, don't be impulsive. Although you have a close relationship with the lord, you have to follow the rules for such a large family business in Chang'an City. Since you propose to vote, you must do it according to the results now. Otherwise, if you go back on your word, will it be a joke?" Chu Jiangyun grabbed Li'er, and spoke very disdainful, which made Sun Tong furious and almost started on the spot.
The scene was out of control for a while.
Shao Xiaoxi, who had not spoken, sat there, rubbing his eyebrows with his fingers, which was also a headache. Originally, everyone could think about the problem normally, but now, greater hidden dangers have been exposed. Party disputes have occurred within Chang'an City!
The management of Hu Liuye’s subordinates is not very good, but it is mainly reflected in the army. More than a dozen people in charge of military power are not united.
To put it bluntly, the old man led by Sun Tong is a small faction; the new man led by Chu Jiangyun is a small faction. Both sides are dissatisfied with each other and fight for power. There are already signs of things on weekdays, and it has completely exploded today.
"Brother Chen Meng is only concerned about upgrading himself. He has too little intention to do everything about Chang'an City. If this continues, something big will happen." Shao Xiaoxi shook his head and sighed, with his beautiful eyebrows entangled, unable to think of a solution.
Chen Meng hugged the white-clothed empress and entered Chang'an City. He immediately found something wrong. Pedestrians on the street were rare, and they were solemn and frowned, not understanding what was going on.
The white-clothed empress looked around. This was her first time to come to Chang'an City. Looking at everything about Chang'an City, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. During the ancient times, even the lowest tribal city was much stronger than this. But after all, the laws have changed and everything has to start over. I feel that there is nothing unacceptable.
"Maybe the strength of the human race starts from such an inconspicuous small city." The white-clothed empress looked at Chen Meng, remembering Chen Meng's words, to kill all those who do not know the overall situation, be the ruler of powerful power, and to hold up the human race.
The white-clothed empress smiled slightly, closed her eyes, and the blood on the corners of her mouth had been wiped clean, and her face was not as pale as before.
"The lord is back!" Chen Mengshang was confused. At this time, someone recognized Chen Meng and shouted in surprise. Then an amazing scene appeared. This loud voice called everyone around him over.
"It's really the lord! The lord is back! We don't have to be afraid!"
"The lord is back! I'll pay my respects to you! I'm willing to follow you and fight against foreign enemies! I'll be brave enough to defeat you and never give up!"
However, in just a few minutes, thousands of people gathered around him. On the lonely street just now, it is almost impossible to escape. Everyone who saw Chen Meng showed fanatic admiration in their eyes. This momentum scared Chen Meng himself.
"What's wrong?" Chen Meng, who didn't understand the situation, asked someone and realized the so-called "Cheng Alliance". He smiled in his heart. Ye E could really make trouble.
Seeing more and more people, Chen Meng never expected that he had such a status among the people of Chang'an City, which could infinitely reduce the fear of war, but was the spiritual pillar in their hearts.
And what have you done for them? You just provided a home and helped them with food and clothing. That's all, the people love it so much. I really feel ashamed.
However, in the troubled times, how can ordinary people have more extravagant desires? In Chang'an City, there will be no bullying and oppression, no enslavement of descendants, no lewdness and insults of wives and daughters, no food to eat and aspiration, this is enough.
The people's request is really simple...
"Don't be confused, just go to your own business, don't panic. Just a dragon city is not the opponent of our Chang'an City."
"I, Chen Meng, promised that even if I shed the last drop of blood, I will defend Chang'an City for everyone! No one can bully the people of our Chang'an City!"
"Long live the lord! Long live the lord!"
"I am willing to join the army and serve the lord!"
...
All kinds of shouts were constantly shouting, extremely fanatical. The white-clothed empress curled up in Chen Meng's arms, her original shyness gradually faded away. Looking at the people of Chang'an City, tears appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she didn't know what past events she remembered.
