In Pengze Lake, Zhou Tai's water village, Gan Ning and Xu Rong were confronting each other.
Although he had never heard of such a powerful person on the Yangtze River, Gan Ning actually felt a little wary when he saw Xu Rong's special appearance and iconic one eye.
One look at the face and eyes showed that this dog was not a good stooge. It must have gone through some fierce battle, and judging from the injuries on his eyes and cheeks, it was definitely not easy for him to survive.
People who have been on the line between life and death are generally not easy to deal with.
However, the potter seemed not to notice the sudden changes in Gan Ning's face. He waved to Xu Rong, signaling him not to act rashly.
Then, the pottery merchant was seen walking past Xu Rong, looking around, and slowly explained to everyone in the venue: "Everyone, in fact, just now Lu listened to what the village owners said, and the owner of Gan Village
With his explanation, he has roughly understood the pros and cons. In fact, in Tao's view, the owner of Ganzhai is a traitor. No matter who he robs or where he robs, he is not wrong. However, because of the owner of Ganzhai, you all
You have suffered great losses due to your recklessness and willfulness. In Lu’s opinion, you are actually not wrong.”
At this point, Tao Shang paused and said emphatically: "The mistake is that we, the thieves from various tribes in the south of the Yangtze River, have no rules or specific restrictions on each other."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
"No restraint?" Zhou Tai touched the whiskers on his lower jaw and thought carefully.
The pottery merchant nodded, held up his hand to Zhou Tai, and said: "Master Zhou, as the saying goes, there is a way. Although we are water thieves, in order to survive and win-win, we can make this trade work for thousands of years."
If we go on, we must establish iron rules and regulations, especially now that the situation south of the Yangtze River is not very good. Now Liu Biao has occupied Jingzhou, unified the clans in the north of Jingzhou, and has become a force of its own, and there is also the separatist rule of Yuan Shu of the Four Generations and Three Gongs.
Nanyang County has also marched into Huainan, and the power of the two major feudal lords in the south of the Yangtze River will be strong. If you continue to act arbitrarily and continue to govern your own affairs, I am afraid that before long, we will be wiped out by the feudal lords one by one, and our bodies will not be left."
Next to Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin was a very clear-minded person and hurriedly explained: "Master Lu Village, you migrated from another state. You were never from our Jiangnan waterway before. You don't know what is going on here. This is the rule in each village."
In fact, it’s not that there is nothing, in fact, among our various water villages, there is still some tacit understanding between each other.”
The pottery merchant smiled slightly, and Jiang Qin said: "Since Mr. Jiang has said that there is a tacit understanding between each other, but in the eyes of Mr. Lu, the tacit understanding is not the same as the rules. If there is no one to supervise and no one to give orders, it is difficult to achieve success. This is also self-satisfaction."
Since the village leader debuted, he has not followed your so-called tacit understanding! Lu asked, if we can establish specific rules and regulations on our Jiangnan waterway, clarify the system and scope of activities of each village, and elect a water pirate leader to provide unified supervision
, all the village leaders in the field will jointly obey the orders of the leader. If anyone violates the order, everyone will fight against it together according to the order of the leader. Is there anything difficult to solve in this matter?"
No one paid much attention to Tao Shang's words, but the words "electing the leader" naturally caused all the village leaders in the venue to wake up.
Choose an alliance leader?!
Zhou Tai rolled his eyes and felt overjoyed!
This young youngster is really smart. What a great suggestion!
Zhou Tai was naturally embarrassed to speak up about choosing an alliance leader, fearing that others would suspect him of having selfish motives. Now that the newly debuted Luffy brought it up, he was playing into his own hands!
Just imagine, if you were chosen to be the leader of the water thieves alliance on the Yangtze River, wouldn't you be the same as the actual overlord of the river thieves?!
King of River Thieves! This has been Zhou Tai’s dream for many years.
Zhou Tai took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the joy on his face, and showed a very solemn expression. While stroking his beard, he nodded and said: "Brother Lu really relies on his head to make a living. He is really thoughtful."
Happy! I think this method is very good. Establish rules, choose alliance leaders, and give unified orders to all the water villages on the Yangtze River waterway. Not to mention it is our own business. Even if counties and counties send troops to conquer and kill us in the future, we
Each village can also respond under the direction of the alliance leader, working together to jointly defend against the enemy...Brother Lu's suggestion is quite reliable, and I agree with it very much."
Gan Ning looked at Zhou Tai's appearance, snorted coldly, and said: "Zhou, don't think that I don't know what you are planning to do? You just want to be the leader of the Yangtze River bandits. Purely.
Selfishness... Hehe, you want to be the leader? I will be the first to refuse!"
Zhou Tai was furious when he heard this, and shouted at Gan Ning with his eyes wide open: "You bastard! If I don't do it right, do you think I should do it for you?"
Gan Ning smiled happily, raised his head and said: "I'll take it as my responsibility, so what can I do? I'm just a leader, is it possible that I can't do it?!"
Zhou Tai suddenly raised the knife in his hand, pointed at Gan Ning and gritted his teeth and said: "Gan, let's go! Get out! Make signs!"
"Signs are what they make!" Gan Ning refused to give in.
The two of them made preparations to go out again.
It's so frustrating, one keeps getting worse than the other.
"Two, two!"
The pottery merchant hurriedly came out to smooth things over again, and said with a smile: "The position of alliance leader is not trivial. It cannot be based on personal courage alone! You must choose a capable person with great perseverance and great ability to take up the position, so as not to harm the people on the road.
Brothers, I have a way. Not only can the two brothers have a chance to compete, but it can also give all the village leaders present a chance to compete for the position of leader. The competition is fair and everyone has a share. Everyone.
What do you think?"
As soon as these words were said, all the bandit leaders in the venue were immediately excited.
For these bandit leaders, everyone can participate in the election for alliance leader, which is a big pie.
In this world, everyone is motivated, but sometimes they dare not run for election due to their own strength and status.
When Luffy brought up this matter just now, most of the water pirate leaders present thought that the position of alliance leader would definitely fall on Zhou Tai's head, and those who wanted to argue were too embarrassed to open their mouths for fear of offending Zhou Tai.
Who would have thought that Gan Ning suddenly appeared and shouted that he wanted to confront Zhou Tai, which made Zhou Tai unable to get off the stage.
As luck would have it, Luffy, the straw hat thief, intervened again, which not only settled the dispute between the two, but also brought all the alliance leaders present to the stage to have a chance to become the King of the Yangtze River.
Speaking of which, I'm afraid no one will care about Zhou Tai's emotions anymore.
Zhou Tai saw that the Jiang bandit leaders present were extremely excited, and seemed to be very eager for the position of leader, as if they had eaten a big fly, and they were so disgusting.
But there is no way. If Zhou Tai insists that he will not run for election to become the leader of the alliance, he is afraid that it will cause public outrage.
Like Luffy, Zhou Tai secretly made a note in his mind, brat, just wait!
However, Zhou Tai is confident that he can win the position of alliance leader. In terms of strength and ability, among everyone present, in his opinion, only Gan Ning can compete with him in terms of capital and strength.
"Brother Lu, is there anything you can try?" Zhou Tai suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Tao Shangdao.
The pottery merchant bowed his hands to Zhou Tai and raised his voice to the people present: "Today's meeting is called the Meeting of Heroes, and everyone knows its meaning, because those participating in the meeting today are all famous on our Yangtze River waterway.
The famous thieves and heroes, and those who can command the heroes, in addition to being brave, also need to be very loyal, proficient in military formations, and clever in mergers and acquisitions, in order to be able to take on this important task... Therefore, Lu thought, we might as well set up a
For the big test, all of us here will lead our brothers to accomplish this task. If who can do it, how about we jointly elect him as the leader of the alliance?"
Hearing this, Gan Ning seemed to be interested: "It's interesting, tell me, kid, what kind of big test is it?"
The potter smiled slightly and continued: "Everyone, my water village is within the jurisdiction of Danyang County, and the information is quite well-informed. Recently I heard that the former governor of Danyang County, Zhou Xin, retired, and Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian sent his son.
Tao Shang is stationed in Danyang County. Tao Qian's son is nothing special. He is just a rotten scholar, so it is not a big deal. However, my boys found out that he brought a strong general from Xuzhou to Danyang County and ordered him to call Xu Chu. This man is brave and brave.
He is an extraordinary person who is rare in the world. It is said that this person is currently leading three thousand fine armor and is stationed in Chungu County in Danyang County. While training troops and horses, he is assisting the magistrate of Chungu County in arranging local military affairs...
How about we just test and teach everyone present, who can conquer Chungu County?"
As soon as these words were said, everyone whispered to each other, and there was an endless stream of discussions in the hall.
Gan Ning raised an eyebrow and said, "Xu Chu? I've heard of him! It's the one nicknamed Hu Chi, right? It's said that he defeated Lu Bu in front of Hulao Pass."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Xu Chu's defeat of Lu Bu at Hulao Pass has been heard all over the world. Although he won with the help of a chariot battle formation, the only people who know the specific details are those princes and soldiers who witnessed the incident in front of Hulao Pass.
When the news spreads all over the world, it gets lost without even realizing it.
In that era without videos, the Internet, television, newspapers, or media, news was generally transmitted from person to person. When Sili's information reached Jiangnan, there was no description at all in terms of details.
They may even be described in a different way.
What everyone in the south of the Yangtze River knows so far is that Xu Chu, nicknamed Hu Chi, was in the Xuzhou Army and defeated Lu Bu, the best flying general in the world, by himself. As for the specific method of defeat, it is completely unknown. Anyway, he defeated
.
Whoever defeats Lu Bu can be called the best in the world?
There are such people stationed in Chungu County, and there are also three thousand soldiers from Xuzhou. How can we attack the county with these water thieves?
So the big test Luffy mentioned turned out to be this!
What kind of big test is this? It's obviously a big roast! Or the kind where you add firewood to your body.
Among the water bandit leaders, one of the water bandit leaders said worriedly: "There are so many soldiers and horses stationed in Chungu County, and the fierce general Xu Chu is in charge. How can water bandits like us be able to fight in such a county?"
Did you come down?...How about we try another county?"
When Tao Shang heard this, he showed a sad expression on his face, shook his head and said: "This village leader, in response to what you just said, in terms of courage, you are not qualified to be the leader of our Yangtze River thieves.
To become the leader of this alliance, you must be a hero of the world with great perseverance, great ability, and great courage. Let alone one Xu Chu, there are thousands of Xu Chus. So what? Since it is a big test, you must choose a difficult one.
Yes! If you build a small county with only a few hundred people garrisoned, what will you get in the exam? If everyone can defeat it, what will you choose?"
Speaking of this, Tao Shang cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "Although there are thousands of people, I am going! Only such a person can be our leader and the king of pirates! In the future, he can even become the king of pirates! Even an empty
Even the brave men with brute force are not convinced, how can they sit on the Yangtze River and command the heroes!"
When Gan Ning heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed with light.
What a young boy, with some courage!
Although there are thousands of people, I am going! The words in the book "Mencius" are indeed very suitable for the situation when used here. Not to mention whether the person named Lu has such strength, but based on this heroic spirit alone, in
Among so many water pirate leaders, he can be called a hero, stronger than most of the people present.
This Spring Valley County is really determined!.m.
