Chapter 212 Stupid Donkey
Jingzhou has thirteen cities in total, Jiangling, Jiangxia, Echeng, Huangzhou, Ancheng, Suicheng, Yicheng, Changcheng, Xiangcheng, Guangzhou, Shicheng, Qichuncheng, and Mianyangcheng.
Among the thirteen cities, Ancheng is the center.
Because Ancheng has a Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce is together with the thirteen states. In particular, there are two real warriors in the Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, facing the aggressiveness of Yangzhou, the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce invited the city lords of the other twelve cities to discuss with them how to face Yangzhou!
So on the seventh day of July, the main hall of the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce in Ancheng was filled with representatives from the thirteen cities of Jingzhou.
Most of them are real warriors.
It's not that they are willing to come, but that the pressure from Yangzhou is too great.
Who can sit still when they see that there are fewer and fewer people in their city and less and less money?
But Yangzhou is too strong, and it can't be defeated by the force of one city alone.
A few years ago, they thought Yangzhou was empty and a piece of fat meat, so they sent people to grab the territory, but their teeth were broken!
They even killed a real warrior from Jingzhou!
Xu Jinglu was sitting at the end of the lower part of the main hall, bored, studying the patterns on the armchair, and looking at the high-ranking real warriors haggling in this hall with confusion.
He came on behalf of Mianyang City.
It's not that the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce doesn't respect Mianyang City, but because he is a Zhoutian warrior.
There is a main seat above the main hall, where the head of the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce sits, holding Qian Kun Qian Jinyu. Behind him is a huge plaque with "Harmony brings wealth".
There are guest seats on both sides of the main seat, exactly six on each side, and Xu Jinglu is the last one on the right.
"We thirteen cities should unite and form the Jingzhou Alliance to attack Yangzhou together. In this way, Yangzhou will be enough for us..."
"Who will be the leader, who will be the vanguard, and who will be the logistics?"
"The front line is tight, and the back line is tight. I am willing to be the logistics and serve everyone!"
"Hey! That's right, the warriors on the front line only need to devote themselves to the battle and fight hard, but the people in the rear have a lot to consider!"
"The rear is very important, I am willing to take the role of considering more!"
Several real warriors rejected this proposal in a weird way.
We are all real warriors, why should we listen to you!
Since I can listen to you, I might as well listen to Yangzhou!
Warriors still rely on fists after all. If you don't have the strength to crush others, how can you make others listen to you?
If someone has strong strength, he would have unified Jingzhou long ago. Why should the thirteen cities of Jingzhou be independent?
Besides, listening to others is not as comfortable as being a local emperor.
"So I suggest that we hold a martial arts competition first to elect the leader."
"Huh? In a martial arts competition, who goes first and who draws lots? Is it fair?"
"You just open your mouth and say that there are 14 real warriors from our 13 cities fighting like monkeys on the ring, right?"
"Why are there 14? No, no, it's not fair!"
"We real warriors are all about fairness!"
Several real warriors rejected the proposal under the guise of fairness.
Eleven real warriors from 13 cities arrived.
It's hard for them to accomplish one thing, but it's very simple to fail to accomplish one thing.
"Ahem... I have a suggestion." Qian Kun and Qian Jinyu cleared their throats.
After all, he was the initiator of this meeting and a local landlord, so everyone gave him some face.
Of course, if he didn't speak human words, no one would give him face.
"It's rare for you to come to Ancheng on weekdays. Today, you all come together, which is really a great honor for the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce. You are willing to come here, firstly, you give me face, and secondly, Yangzhou is aggressive, I believe everyone has felt it."
"Since you are here, we must discuss a solution. Otherwise, you are usually busy with many things. If you fail to reach an agreement this time and are defeated by Yangzhou one by one, wouldn't it be unwise for you?"
"Facing Yangzhou, the power of one person is limited. Only if we unite can we resist Yangzhou, or even fight back against Yangzhou. Yangzhou is vast and close to the sea, far better than our Jingzhou."
"As warriors, we speak with strength after all, but it is really unworthy for us to end up like this!" His voice is relatively mellow and kind.
He continued, "We are all people of status, and people of status naturally need to have status methods. So my suggestion is that each of our thirteen cities sends a Zhoutian warrior to duel, and the winner will be the leader of our Jingzhou Alliance for the next year."
"Let's have another warrior duel next year to decide the leader of the next year!"
"In this way, we don't have to go down and lose our status, and we can speak with martial arts and make everyone convinced."
"Of course, if there is a martial arts colleague who can beat most of us, we will naturally be convinced and give up the position of leader."
After he finished speaking, he looked around.
Several real warriors frowned and thought about the feasibility.
The threat from Yangzhou is urgent, and they certainly know that they need to unite, otherwise they would not come here.
Xu Jinglu remained calm on the surface, but sneered in his heart. It seems that you real warriors are afraid of losing your status and getting injured, so let us Zhoutian warriors go up to the ring.
Aren't we human?
But in the martial arts world... compared with real warriors, they Zhoutian warriors are really not human!
"No, no! This seems feasible, but for Zhou Tian warriors to defeat us, isn't it a joke?" said a real warrior.
"Hiss... makes sense! What are our identities? What are the identities of Zhou Tian warriors?"
"Aren't you just like ordinary people, betting on cockfights and dogfights?"
You are the chicken and dog? Xu Jinglu took a look and saw that the person who spoke was the head of Jingzhou Dajiang Sword School, Xinghan Sword Saint Huyan Xinglan!
"I suggest that we thirteen cities should set up a parliament. Voting and election, with the minority obeying the majority, is the fairest!"
"Unfair, unfair. Forming cliques, forming parties and forming private relationships, testing people's popularity and private transactions! Where is fairness!"
"Yes, yes, yes, this is unfair! Whoever has good popularity and is willing to sell his ass, whose proposal will be passed. Isn't this nonsense? We warriors still rely on fists! I suggest that we compete privately, and whoever is stronger will listen to him!"
"Makes sense, I don't think this is impossible!"
"Have you ever thought about what if one of us wins by chance, but turns out to be a bad brain and can't lead us to defeat Yangzhou?"
"If you ask me, we should still think of a strategy to see how to defeat Yangzhou. Whoever has a higher chance of winning, we will listen to him?"
"Not appropriate, not appropriate..."
That is, you want to put on airs, but you don't want to suffer losses.
Doing big things but cherishing your body, forgetting righteousness when you see small profits.
What kind of real warrior is this? It's just a stupid donkey warrior!
No wonder the Lord of Mianyang City would rather go fishing than attend a meeting!
Xu Jinglu complained in his heart.
Xu Jinglu and Huyan Xinglan are aliases provided by book friends, and the names are not bad.
