C124 (2/2)
Han Zhong and Sun Xia's personal guards ran over to invite him, saying that they would like to discuss with him. Zhao Hong arranged the defenses on the city wall and rode his horse towards the Big Account in the middle. Zhao Hong knew what they wanted to discuss. Judging from their intentions, they wanted to recommend him, but could he bear such a heavy responsibility?
Thinking about Zhang Mancheng's fate, Zhao Hong felt a little guilty. He was too busy guarding the city just a moment ago, so he didn't have the time to ponder over it carefully. Now that he thought about it, he felt a lingering sense of fear. It was obvious that the trident Arrows was shot by the cavalry. He had fought against the cavalry before, so he knew that the trident Arrows was unique to the cavalry. But how could the cavalry be so far from the walls? If they really shot it, would he still dare to climb the city wall in the future?
By the time Zhao Hong rushed to the center of the army, the other generals were already there waiting for him, looking a little anxious. Without a general, everyone still sat in their respective seats, leaving the general's seat empty. It was clear that today, it was time to decide who would take the seat.
As he greeted the Generals, Zhao Hong walked to his original seat and sat down. When everyone sat down again, the Big Account quieted down immediately. The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and no one knew where they were looking, but no one spoke.
”Why didn't you say anything when you let me come? Now that the army is pressing down, even if we sit here quietly, I am afraid we will not be able to drive away the Imperial army. ”
Seeing that no one was talking, Zhao Hong felt even more depressed in his heart, and could not help but complain. Didn't he just want to be the leader? Who knew if that was a good thing at this dangerous moment? Perhaps if you become the leader today, you will become the target of those cavalrymen tomorrow.
Amongst these General of the Yellow Scarf Army s, Han Zhong was the first one to follow Zhang Mancheng. Seeing that no one had any intention of talking, he smiled and cupped his hands towards everyone.
”Generals, the Great Marshal has been killed by the officials, and the army has to be strong for a day. We have to nominate a successor to be the commander of the Nanyang Yellow Scarf Army, and lead us to war with the officials.”
Isn't this nonsense? Wasn't everyone here to recommend a new commander? However, there were some people who did not think that way. Just as Han Zhong finished speaking, Sun Xia stood up impatiently and cupped his hands to everyone.
”Generals, we are currently under siege from the officials and the situation is extremely critical. We have to elect a high-ranking officer who has the courage to lead us out of this predicament. I thought that General Zhao Hong was worthy of such a task.
After Sun Xia finished speaking, he looked at Qin Ming and Qin Liang, the two of them were controlling Zhang Mancheng's army from the front. If Zhang Mancheng died, the two brothers would become the backbone of the army. If they didn't have the approval of their brothers, no one would become a commander.
Pushing for Zhao Hong was already within Qin Ming and Qin Liang's expectations. Logically speaking, it was the best choice. This was because Zhao Hong was both Zhang Mancheng's deputy general and the one with the most military power out of the four of them. But Qin Ming couldn't agree, he had to provoke their internal conflict.
”Generals, I believe that the successor as the xanthopanax commander needs to have the spirit and ability to be a commander, but General Sun Zhong is more suitable to be a commander, I wonder what you generals think?”
When Qin Ming opened his mouth to speak, everyone felt the situation became complicated. Zhao Hong immediately knew that Han Zhong and Sun Xia had messed up their business. This Qin Ming and Qin Liang had followed Sun Zhong out, so the three of them would definitely stand together. Without the support of his brothers, any proposal would not have gained the approval of everyone.
Han Zhong and Sun Xia naturally thought that Zhao Hong was the best candidate. Neither of them managed to get Qin Ming's and Qin Liang's support, nor pulled Jiang Tai's and Hou Shan's sympathy, so no one would step forward to support them.
On Sun Zhong's side, there were more than a hundred thousand men and women, while on Zhao Hong's, Han Zhong's and Sun Xia's side, there were more than a hundred thousand men. On the other hand, although Jiang Tai and Hou Shan who had not spoken up until now were only the Five ten thousand people s, they were Guan Jian's minority.
The most important thing was that Qin Ming and Qin Liang's martial arts were strong, and they were even more shocked when they were on the city wall just now.
Zhao Hong suddenly felt that it was now his turn to speak. If you don't want the Nanyang Yellow Scarf Army to fall into chaos, then you must comply. Since the two brothers support Sun Zhong, then let him be their commander.
”Thank you General Sun Xia, but Zhao Hong's abilities are limited and he is not suitable to be the commander. I think it would be better if General Sun Zhong took over as the commander. ”
Seeing Zhao Hong being modest, Sun Zhong felt a little embarrassed. With a blush on his face, he forcefully suppressed the joy in his heart, coughed lightly a few times, cleared his throat, and cupped his hands towards the generals.
”General Zhao Hong is too modest, his talents are lacking, and he is not qualified to take on the heavy responsibility of being the commander. General Zhao Hong should take on the role.”
Zhao Hong knew that Sun Zhong was being courteous and also saw the happiness on Sun Zhong's face. He felt even more disdainful and was too lazy to fight for a position with him. On the contrary, he smiled lightly and cupped his hands towards Sun Zhong.
General Sun Zhong is too courteous, Zhao Hong is speaking the truth, you can do it without worry, Zhao Hong will definitely obey your orders.
