An hour sounds like a long time, but in reality it only passes in the blink of an eye when you are so busy.
Finally, amidst the roar of people, the east, west, south and west sides of Wujun City rushed to the city square where they met, and the forces of the two groups participating in the election gathered together.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhao's announcement in the government office in the morning directly brought more people to this meeting than Sun Quan's previous preaching.
It can be said that this time, almost 90% of the people in Wujun City were here to watch.
Therefore, no matter which party intends to use tricks in this meeting, as long as it is exposed, it will become the object of people's scorn.
And this time, no one will be as clueless as they were the day Sun Quan preached.
As the most popular topic in Wujun City in the past few days, no matter whether it is a hawker or a scholar farmer, everyone has learned about the various grievances between the two parties in this meeting through various channels.
He also understood how much power the small ticket in his hand represented.
Many of them were engaged in speculative trading as someone expected, and these undercurrents hidden under the waves seemed to have an unimaginable impact on this grand meeting.
——
Amid the noise of the people, both parties finally slowly climbed onto the high platform.
The stage is not small, with a neat row of tables, chairs and benches on it. Of course, there are also many guards surrounding the high stage. They have serious expressions, and the forces represented by both sides can only be distinguished by the color of their clothes.
The one wearing a blue-gray bottom shirt and with red cloth wrapped around his upper arms was naturally from Sun Quan's side.
Wearing bright silver breastplates and knee pads, he looked fully armed and solemn, so he was naturally the person Zhang Zhao brought.
From these signs alone, we can actually see the significant gap in financial and material resources between the two parties.
But... ordinary people don't care about this. After three days of preaching, many people have actually gradually become aware of the environment they are in.
Many people have clearly expressed their support for Sun Quan and others, but...the problem is...Sun Quan is a person who has failed once, and their opponent, Zhang Zhao, who is of the old school, has now brought the Mesozoic Era.
Strengthen Lu Meng's support.
There is no gossip about the chance of winning. Just based on visual inspection, everyone feels that Zhang Zhao and the others are more confident.
So...I support Sun Quan in my heart, but on the surface, who dares to really shout it out?
Wu Jun...this is Zhang Zhao's base camp.
So when Lu Xun and Sun Quan appeared one after another, there was a long silence in the audience, and the people in the audience looked at them with complicated eyes. This scene really made Zhang Zhao laugh.
"Look...look! In the final analysis, they are just a bunch of clowns. Lu Xun, Lu Xun, you really underestimated the cowardice of these people. The servility of these people for a hundred years cannot be shaken by a few words from you - this
A little, you still need to study more..."
Zhang Zhao, who was talking like this, has now put some troublesome things behind him, but... there is one thing that makes him still unhappy.
"Where has Ziming gone? Didn't you tell him to come to the city center at this time? Why haven't you seen him yet?"
Zhang Zhao asked behind him.
Zhang Wen... is now the old-school agent in Wu County and the undoubted next-generation leader of the Zhang family. When he heard Zhang Zhao's inquiry, he shrank his shoulders and said to Zhang Zhao:
"Not sure... General Lu just told us that he was going out to visit old friends, and he didn't say when he would be back..."
"Tsk..."
Zhang Zhao was a little irritated when he heard Zhang Wen's answer.
"I didn't tell you earlier, but it's at this time..."
Just when Zhang Zhao was about to send people to find Lu Meng, Lu Meng's voice came from behind him.
"Mr. Ge! I've been waiting for a long time..."
"Tsk...Ziming, you have to pay more attention to this matter. You can be late for something like this, so don't do it next time!"
"Hey... what Mr. Ge taught me is that when you reunite with an old friend after a long absence, you might be able to chat for a while, but you forget the time. It won't happen next time..."
Lu Meng apologized to Zhang Zhao embarrassedly, but Zhang Zhao waved his hand and turned to the side with a sneer:
"That's all, there are more important things now..."
"It's our turn. Remember to follow my instructions. This opportunity cannot be missed!"
"As you command!"
Zhang Zhao ordered arrogantly. In fact, now he can't wait to crush Lu Xun and others to death - the real strong man must defeat the enemy in the field where he is good at.
The so-called killing and killing is nothing more than this.
Lu Meng responded respectfully, with some strange looks in his eyes, but Zhang Zhao didn't pay attention -
As Zhang Zhao ascended the high platform first, not only who started, but also the people began to cheer unanimously.
Some were shouting that Zhang Zhaoying was very powerful, and some were shouting that Jiangdong needed them. All kinds of arguments were suddenly mixed together, forming a sharp contrast with the silence when Lu Xun and others took the stage before.
And the moment Lu Meng stood on the high platform, the atmosphere reached another peak.
If nothing else, Lu Meng was born and raised in Chengzhou, Wu County. When Lu Meng was still young, many people had a good relationship with him. When Lu Meng really became successful, he never forgot to give back to his neighbors and fellow villagers.
In the end, Lu Xun's home advantage seems to have become Lu Meng's wedding dress.
Or maybe Lu Su was feeling pressured by Lu Meng's arrival. Zhang Zhao kept such a killing card, which really gave Lu Xun and others a surprise blow.
The crowds of people made Sun Quan, who was originally upright on the stage, somewhat retreat.
It's not like he has never seen such a one-sided voice, but in the past, such voices were often obtained by himself.
In order to win popularity, after he became the lord of Jiangdong, he gathered a large number of troops and almost wiped out the remnants of Shanyue in one wave. It was the first time in his life that he accepted the cheers of the people. Since then, he has been obsessed with the battle of Jiangdong.
He recognized the position of the Lord very much, and set a goal for himself in his heart: he wanted to become the Lord of Jiangdong respected by everyone, so that in the future, when the people of Jiangdong mentioned the master of Jiangdong, they would think of him, Sun Quan, instead of his
Brother, his father.
However... the successive blows from reality made Sun Quan gradually understand the cruel reality.
Today, it is such a familiar scene again.
There were cheers for Zhang Zhao and even for Lu Meng in the audience, but on my side, except for their guards and those accompanying them, everyone else remained silent.
Many familiar faces that I once swore by have now become mere weeds swaying in the wind.
Sadness came from the bottom of my heart.
Before either side could speak, Sun Quan's heart had already turned cold.
