Putting aside some somewhat inconsistent points, this time the two sides were really not as passionate as they had been the last time they met.
There was no more provocation, no more weirdness, just a cold look. Everyone knew that today's provocation was useless, because after seven days of publicity and canvassing, the real result had already been decided.
Who wins or loses does not depend on a few words at all, but depends on how many of their respective votes are contained in the small ballot box in the center of the high platform.
After understanding this, Zhang Zhao, who thought he had won the victory, naturally had no intention of talking nonsense with Lu Xun and Sun Quan.
As soon as Zhang Zhao raised his hand, Lu Xun slowly walked forward.
"As you can see, after seven days, the day of voting has finally arrived."
"Next, all you need to do is follow my instructions, come to the high platform, and put your crucial vote into the ballot box. It has nothing to do with any interests, but just follow your inner choice."
——
As the host, Lu Xun naturally talked endlessly from the front.
Seeing Lu Xun like this, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but said to Gu Yong Bu Zhao and others around him:
"Lu Xun was still being clever at this time - he had clearly promised to separate the ballot boxes before, but now there is only one left on the stage. I am afraid he thinks that if the ballot boxes are divided into two, some people will not dare to separate them.
Let's vote openly for them."
"Well, that's it. I wonder why they have to mix the tickets from both sides. Wouldn't it be quite difficult to count? It turns out that was their idea."
Zhang Yun was thoughtful on the side, and many people also showed expressions of sudden realization.
"Hmph, so this is his little cleverness. Even if the tickets are mixed together, the final number of votes will only be more for us."
Zhang Zhao didn't bother to expose Lu Xun's little trick and allowed him to stall for time.
"Next, please come on stage one after another under the guidance of the guards and reveal your tickets!"
After a while, after all the precautions were explained, everyone was shocked when Lu Xun said these words. They knew that next, it was time to vote.
Sun Quan and Lu Meng stepped forward at the same time, one representing the candidates of both parties, and stood behind the ballot box.
Just looking at Sun Quan's depressed look at this moment, the old school already understood.
Many people said with a smile:
"It seems that General Sun has not recovered from his illness these days?"
"You didn't even get any sleep, did you?"
"You don't know that every time General Sun and General Lu bump into each other these days when Mr. Ge is away, General Sun always takes a detour and leaves, not to mention the number of their respective supporters."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhao laughed.
As expected, Sun Quan never recovered after he left that day.
Such a master who cannot be supported is the biggest weakness of Lu Xun and others.
"Everyone is ready to celebrate. Instead of worrying about the number of votes, you should first think about which restaurant in the city you want to go to."
Zhang Zhao smiled and said something like a declaration of victory, and then everyone laughed and agreed.
For a moment, the old school was so happy and happy that Sun Quan in front seemed even more depressed.
However, from beginning to end, Lu Xun did not say a word.
Voting begins.
Under the guidance of the guards, the people began to walk towards the high platform one after another.
Because the order of voting had been announced in advance, according to the order of alley by street, township by li, the people seemed to be in chaos, but in fact they were in order.
After a while, a row of people who looked more luxuriously dressed took the stage to vote. When they finished voting and passed by Zhang Zhao and others, they saluted respectfully to Zhang Zhao and others. Seeing this scene, they were actually
You can think of the epitome of today’s voting.
Time passed little by little, and the voting speed was very fast.
It can be basically seen from the number of people who came to the stage to salute Zhang Zhao that nearly 90% of the nearly 1,000 people who voted were either bribed by Zhang Zhao or planned to vote for Zhang Zhao from the beginning.
People from Zhang Zhao's side.
Lü Meng and Sun Quan stood side by side, and the people voting quickly passed by in front of them. The scene in front of them was also very different. Many people would smile at Lü Meng when they saw Lü Meng, and even those who were familiar with Lü Meng could not help but greet him.
Ichiban.
On the contrary, Sun Quan looked extremely depressed. Not to mention some people smiled at him, and there were only a very few people who didn't sneer at him.
In short, the longer time passes, the more obvious the advantages and disadvantages of both sides will become.
The new faction is even more silent.
Under such a reasonable situation, Zhang Zhao naturally seemed extremely comfortable.
But similarly, similar to before, there was one thing that concerned him a lot.
That's why Lu Xun still had no expression on his face.
Doesn't he know that if he loses, their fate will become very miserable?
But... since Lu Xun didn't move, Zhang Zhao didn't have that much thought to deal with the opponent.
"Go get me a pen and paper. I'm going to inform Liu Bei and the others."
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people voting in front of him, Zhang Zhao felt that the voting would be over in half an hour.
In fact, because the counting places are in the county seats of each county, and the place where the results are actually announced is in Wu County, it is said that voting starts today. In other places, the farther away they are, the earlier they start today. It is just after noon.
Head, Zhang Zhao knew that the votes had probably been cast in many places, and even some places a little further away were counting the votes——
As for the outcome, there was no need to even guess, so Zhang Zhao decided to notify Liu Bei as soon as possible to prevent problems in the next step.
The pawn beside him received the order and naturally hurried to find paper and pen for Zhang Zhao.
——
"Is there anyone here who has not yet cast their votes?"
Lu Xun stepped forward, watched the last person leave the high platform, and said to the people below the stage who were waiting for the results.
The response was naturally negative.
In other words, the person who left just now is definitely the last person to vote.
And then it’s time to announce the winner.
Lu Xun turned around and ordered to the personnel he had selected long ago:
"The counting of votes can begin. There will be fifty people from each side. After they are divided in half, one team and one team from the other party will call each other to supervise each other."
In order to prevent vote counters from cheating, Lu Xun's request was affirmed by everyone.
In other words, from this moment on, there will never be any change in the number of votes.
As Lu Xun spoke, the vote counters from both sides also came out separately.
Several of them carried the ballot box full of tickets and poured countless tickets directly on the ground. The vote counter didn't care about his appearance. After changing the supervisors, he simply squatted on the ground and started to quickly start counting.
