Knowing this, Jiang Pengji could only sigh. They were indeed people who knew how to do business.
Host V: "Help me talk to the game company. If they use our characters to make money, they should at least give us some benefits."
For a moment, the entire live broadcast room was filled with "hahaha" bullet screens, and some people even went to Weibo to comment on that studio.
Jiang Pengji chatted passionately with the audience to kill time. The alliance meeting had already begun.
As the 'host', Xu Pei gave an impassioned opening speech, stirring up the emotions of the twenty-three feudal vassals and other idle fish. He encouraged everyone to work together to resist the enemy and expel the traitors. Even if it was a dry and uninteresting speech, when used by Xu Bei, he could still make it sound like a deluge of heavenly flowers. Everyone could not help but sigh with admiration at his grasp of rhythm — he was truly a master of rhythm!
Everyone responded one after another. They did not swear or swear, but they unanimously expressed their indignation towards Prince Changshou.
Jiang Pengji had just finished chatting with the audience when she realized that everyone around her was crusading against Prince Changshou. This made her frown slightly.
"The alliance meeting to rescue the Emperor is not a battle meeting. What's the use of these people scolding Prince Changshou?"
She shook her head in amusement. Liu She, who was nearby, also had a faint smile on his face. He secretly passed her a plate of dried fruits for her to munch on as a snack.
Liu She couldn't help but laugh. "Just watch, don't speak."
The spectators should have the qualities of a spectator. They should just watch and not say anything, and let them argue all they want.
Xu Bei surveyed the crowd and was extremely satisfied with the rhythm of the battle. However, when his gaze swept over the father and son pair, the corner of his eye twitched strangely.
Just as the nature of the alliance meeting was about to change, a clear voice attracted everyone's attention.
The person who spoke was Jiang Pengji's old friend — Huang Song.
"Everyone, please listen to me." Huang Song had brought 15,000 soldiers and he was a county governor, so his seat among the 23 vassal factions was very close to the front. He stood up from his seat and bowed with cupped fists. "Traitors naturally have to be dealt with, but traitors are cunning. Seeing that the alliance has the advantage in numbers, they have been entrenched in their defenses for the past few days. One or two days is fine, but as time goes on, I'm afraid there will be changes. "
Someone retorted, "What other variables can there be? How can a 400,000 strong army not be able to deal with Prince Changshou?"
"Prince Changshou is a traitor to the country. If we don't kill him, we won't be able to pacify the people."
"Prince Changshou will definitely be terror-stricken when he hears of this. Why should we be afraid of him?"
Xu Bei raised his hand to suppress the other voices. He asked warmly, "Why does County Chief Huang say such a thing?"
Huang Song replied, "Before the troops and horses move, the provisions and fodder move first. All of you have led your elites into battle, and this is where the alliance meeting will be held. Do you have enough rations? How long could the provisions last? Prince Changshou has Zhangzhou to rely on and the Meng family of Cangzhou is in cahoots with him on the outside. He has sufficient troops and rations. If he fortifies the walls and clears the fields, he will not come out and fight us to the death. How long do you think we can last? "
Since Prince Changshou had the Meng's as his ally, he could afford to drag things out, but the alliance could not.
Many people's expressions changed when they heard this.
The local tyrants were not afraid of squandering money. Fighting a war was like throwing money away. Some people were short of money and had weak families. They could not afford to fight a long war.
Thinking of this, the voice that was clamoring just now suddenly became mute, unable to stifle even half a word.
Huang Song smiled and asked another question. "Marching to war is not child's play. There are many things to pay attention to when it comes to arranging troops and formations. There are 23 forces present, and each has their own way of fighting. If we face off against Prince Changshou's army, will we fight on our own, or will we work together? "
"Of course, we will work together and coordinate with each other. If we fight on our own, even if we have 400,000 strong troops, we will still be scattered like sand. Prince Changshou only needs to find the weakest point of the formation and he can easily break it. Even if the god of war comes, he will be powerless when faced with such scattered sand. "
At that moment, someone responded to Huang Song. The person who spoke had a gentle and unique voice that was extremely recognizable.
Unlike the boldness of the northerners, it was a gentle and affectionate voice that was unique to the south.
Jiang Pengji raised her head when she heard this. The corners of her lips curled into a slight smile. She looked — it was someone she knew.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in plain clothes sitting in the corner. He was dressed rather shabbily, but he had a very noble temperament.
The other party sensed Jiang Pengji's gaze and nodded slightly, returning a smile.
Jiang Pengji also greeted him through the air.
That person was none other than An Cui, the one who had helped her quickly recover Chengde County, An Duoxi!
An Cui had set off a few days earlier than Jiang Pengji. Because he was a nobody and mostly had miscellaneous troops, he could not be considered an official feudal power.
Although he was looked down upon, An Cui was not angry. As long as he had a seat at the alliance meeting, he did not ask for much else.
Huang Song did not know An Cui, but An Cui's answer was good, allowing him to smoothly elicit the next part of the conversation.
"Just like what the gentleman said just now, if there is no unified command, the 400,000 allied troops will be scattered like sand. They will be a motley crew in Prince Changshou's eyes. So what if they have a large number of troops? They are not worth fearing at all. He only needs to use the 'delay' tactic to make the allied troops fall apart and return with their tails between their legs. "Huang Song straightened his expression and said solemnly," Does everyone think that what I said makes sense? "
Everyone had a guilty conscience. A few of the big shots looked deep in thought. The father and son of the Liu family were still watching the show.
"What sense does it make?" Someone disagreed. Everyone looked and saw that the person who spoke was a burly old general. Looking at his face, this person was rather stubborn. "The youngsters who stand out today will only boost the morale of others and diminish their own prestige. The allied troops have 400,000 men and horses. How can they not deal with a mere thief? Let's not talk about anything else. If I were to go out, I would definitely chop off the thief's head and use it as a teacup! "
Huang Song did not like to reason with stubborn people because the other party would not listen. It did not matter how much he said.
"A thief is a thief, but we cannot look down on him just because he is a thief. You are an old general and I respect you, but I will not agree with what you said just now. Prince Changshou has 100,000 elite troops. The Meng family of Cang Prefecture used their military seal to mobilize 50,000 to help. Among them, there are also 10,000 cavalry. The troops are strong and their horses are strong. They have ample provisions. On the other hand, our allied troops claim to have 400,000 strong soldiers, but how many true elites do we have? "
The old general wanted to say something but was pushed back by the people beside him. He could only flush with anger.
In a public event like the alliance meeting, he was actually humiliated by a junior, a descendant of a eunuch. How could he not be angry?
Xu Bei lowered his eyes and continued Huang Song's words.
"Chief Huang's words are naturally reasonable. What brilliant plan do you have?"
Huang Song paused and finally revealed his plan. "The only way is to elect an alliance leader to lead the allied troops."
When Xu Bei heard this, the corners of his lips curled up. Huang Song's words were exactly what he wanted.
He was about to ask in detail when a fool jumped out of nowhere and suggested, "Elect an alliance leader? This is a good plan. This way, we can unify the distribution of military supplies and let the allied troops be united. We can advance and retreat together. Only then can we contend against the thieves. "
