Seeing what Cao Cao said was awe-inspiring.
But everyone present could hardly argue.
Although Yuan Shao acted calm and composed on the surface, he didn't care about the outcome at all.
But actually I was smiling inside.
Mengde, Mengde, it is indeed you.
Sure enough, you understand me best!
Yuan Shaona was really coveted for the position of leader who could issue orders from the center and restrain the coalition's more than 100,000 troops.
So much power.
As long as Dong Zhuo is defeated, his reputation as the number one man in the alliance will spread far and wide, and he will become the true top figure in the Han Dynasty.
Moreover.
He was the first one to raise the banner of crusade against Dong, and was the first initiator to issue a campaign against Dong's thieves before everyone else, inviting all the heroes in the world to kill Dong's thieves.
This position of alliance leader should be taken by him both emotionally and rationally, so Cao Cao's words were very much in line with his wishes.
In stark contrast to Yuan Shao's joyful mood, was Yuan Shu's gloomy face.
How could he not see the situation on the field?
At present, everyone has been caught by Cao Cao's superb language skills, and they are all trapped in it.
No one dared to speak out against Yuan Shao.
Besides, Yuan Shao was already popular, but if he were to be elected, not many would vote against him.
Therefore, unless Yuan Shu ends up personally, it will be difficult to have any room for recovery.
After knowing this.
Yuan Shu immediately looked at Cao Cao fiercely.
What a lowly man!
He actually would rather help a little maidservant than follow me, an orthodox descendant of the Yuan family.
It's really blinding your dog's eyes!
…
Cao Cao didn't care at all about Yuan Shu's vicious eyes, letting people look at him twice without losing a piece of flesh.
On the contrary, the opponent's behavior becomes more distorted.
The more it proves the correctness of his choice!
After looking around, seeing that the first step of the strategy had been implemented, Cao Cao immediately lowered his head and silently glanced at his son.
After Cao Ang got the news.
He immediately launched his second strategy.
"Ahem!"
The sound of a dry cough immediately broke the silent and quiet atmosphere in the hall.
As everyone's attention shifted.
Cao Ang immediately knocked on the table with his knuckles, making a "bang bang" sound while speaking loudly and clearly.
"I agree with Governor Cao!"
Just a few words.
Everyone who listened had their faces twitching.
I really can’t complain.
I have never heard of a son so blatantly supporting his father during a show of hands.
Damn it, aren't you two from the same family?
Do you know how to avoid suspicion?
He even pretended to be so, and changed the title of his father to Cao Taishou, which was a complete cover-up.
As for the different expressions on everyone's faces, Cao Ang didn't take it seriously.
The purpose of him jumping out to express his opinion at this moment was not to increase his own votes, but to serve as a source of inspiration.
as expected.
Cao Ang just finished speaking, but it took only a few breaths.
King Chen Liu Chong put down the tea bowl with a "pop" sound and said in a calm and powerful voice: "Gu Ye thinks what Brother Meng De said is reasonable. Yuan Benchu is indeed the best choice for the leader of the alliance!"
And after Liu Chong.
Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Bao Xin and others followed suit.
Even Liu Bei expressed his opinion.
The situation on the field suddenly changed.
The originally stalemate situation with no one taking sides suddenly turned into a crushing situation for Yuan Shao alone.
In addition, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, and Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, who were originally on the side of Yuan Shao, were added.
The position of the alliance leader has been determined.
In this case, people who hold neutral opinions will naturally no longer be a mere wallflower, swaying from side to side.
Instead, he quickly expressed his preference for Yuan Shao.
This way.
Yuan Shao was elected leader with a high vote.
…
Seeing that the overall situation has been decided.
Yuan Shao, who originally looked like he was in an ancient well, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
But he quickly restrained himself.
Instead, he put on a frightened look, stood up hurriedly, and waved his hands to refuse.
"Thank you for your respect, but I have little talent and little knowledge, so I may not be able to take on such a big responsibility!"
Three invitations and three resignations.
This is a classic drama.
But this look in Yuan Shu's eyes made him even more angry.
Pretending!
If you find it difficult to take on such a big responsibility, then give it to me. I am knowledgeable and magnanimous, and there is absolutely no problem in being the leader of the alliance!
Unfortunately, Yuan Shu's reaction was ignored.
Everyone still cooperated to persuade Yuan Shao to quickly take over the position of leader.
Among them, the one who performed the most exaggeratedly was Cao Ang.
I saw him tapping the table with his hands continuously.
While shouting loudly: "Leader Yuan, please don't refuse. You must be responsible for such a big job. I don't think it would be possible for anyone else!"
The performance was quite exaggerated.
But Yuan Shao enjoyed watching it.
Good boy, be aware!
It is indeed the seed of Mengde, and it is indeed passed down from generation to generation.
Not only that, this kid is also a person who knows how to repay kindness.
I had given Liu Bei a favor before, but I never thought that Cao Ang would return the favor so quickly.
Based on this alone, Cao Ang is definitely a character worth investing in, and you won’t lose money if you invest a little bit.
After thinking this way.
Yuan Shao had an idea in his mind.
…
After going through the fixed procedure of three requests and three resignations.
Yuan Shao immediately took office.
Became the leader of the alliance against Dong.
Standing on the steps, looking at the heroes from all walks of life sitting on the left and right below.
Yuan Shao was in high spirits for a while.
"Everyone, it's getting late today, so please go back and rest early."
"Tomorrow at noon, outside Xingyang City, we will make an alliance with blood and swear to attack Dong Zhuo!"
"After the oath is over, we will send out troops!"
Yuan Shao gave an order.
Everyone was enthusiastic.
They all stood up and saluted him.
After doing this, they all came out.
But just as Cao Cao and Cao Ang, father and son, were about to leave with everyone, they were stopped by Yuan Shao at the right time.
"Mengde, wait a minute!"
In Cao Cao's confused look.
Yuan Shao quickly came to the two of them.
First he looked at Cao Ang with admiration, and then Yuan Shaocai said to Cao Cao with a smile.
"Mengde, if I remember correctly, Zixiu is now serving as Colonel Huben, right?"
Cao Cao nodded.
He took the initiative to talk to Yuan Shao about this matter.
And after getting Cao Cao's affirmative answer.
Yuan Shao immediately patted Cao Ang on the shoulder.
Then he said meaningfully: "Zixiu has learned a lot about people, has outstanding abilities, and is such a talented young man. It's time to put more burdens on his shoulders."
"A mere Colonel Colonel is obviously not enough to highlight Zixiu's excellence."
"I would like to report to the imperial court that my cousin has been trained as a tiger and a brave general. I wonder what Meng De wants?"
Cao Cao heard this.
Suddenly I was a little surprised.
I didn't understand what Yuan Shao meant for a while.
To express someone's appointment to a certain official position usually requires the approval of the court.
It's just that the current court is a puppet court, controlled by Dong Zhuo, so the so-called performance is just a formality.
As long as Yuan Shao sends out documents.
Basically this appointment is confirmed.
But that doesn’t mean you can list things randomly.
The personal credit and reputation of the person on the list must be used as a guarantee. Otherwise, if you close your eyes and just write dozens of memorials, your subordinates will really be full of generals and governors.
Therefore, Yuan Shao now said that he would like Cao Ang to be the general of the Tiger Guard.
He is using his personal credibility to endorse Cao Ang and promote his official position.
This feeling is not unkind.
That's why Cao Cao couldn't figure out the situation at once.
Just compared to my father.
Cao Ang stood aside, but he knew very well in his heart that Yuan Shao was also reciprocating a favor.
He and his father, Cao Cao, had done their best to support Yuan Shao in the alliance leader battle just now, and this uncle, of course, had to return the favor.
This position of Tiger and Lieutenant General was Yuan Shao's gift of gratitude to him.
have to say.
Yuan Benchu is still a very particular person!
He is worthy of being an old man who has worked hard in society for many years and has rich experience in interpersonal communication.
Things should come and go in a timely manner.
After all this happened, I felt a little relieved. I wonder if there will be opportunities for us to cooperate in the future.
Maybe when I deceive Yuan Shao in the future, I can be more gentle.
…
The next day.
It is located on an empty plain outside Xingyang City.
An army of more than 100,000 people, with three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounded the place, leaving only a small open space in the middle.
In the center of the open space is a three-story platform built overnight by Yuan Shao.
At this moment, all the heroes from the Kanto region participating in the alliance were looking solemnly and staring at the high platform in front of them. No one dared to laugh or smile.
As noon approaches.
A red sun gradually reaches the top of the head.
Yuan Shao waved his hand, and several soldiers immediately carried the three animals and slowly placed them on the left and right sides of the high platform.
Seeing that the time has come.
Without saying a word, Yuan Shao immediately walked towards the high platform and reached the top with steady steps.
The drummers in the military camp immediately played their instruments, and a majestic, heroic and desolate sound suddenly resounded throughout the entire city of Xingyang.
Just listen to it.
It makes people feel hot.
Following Yuan Shao, he stood still.
Someone immediately came forward with a basin of horse blood.
Yuan Shao first dipped his hands and touched the sky twice, and then tapped a few more points on the ground.
After paying homage to heaven and earth.
This is the core ritual of making a blood alliance.
I saw Yuan Shao stirring the vessel twice with three fingers until it was covered with blood.
Starting from the left side of his cheek, crossing his lips and above, three red marks were formed that went straight to his right cheek. This is a blood alliance.
Others followed suit.
They all followed suit and smeared it on their faces.
Even Cao Ang is no exception.
After the ceremony was over, Yuan Shao took a step forward, took a deep breath, and then shouted to the surroundings in a very loud voice.
"Unfortunately for the Han Dynasty, the emperor lost his authority. The traitor Dong Zhuo... Shao and others were afraid of the loss of the country, so they gathered rebels and went to the country to be in trouble... The emperor and the queen are in the land, and the ancestors are wise, and everyone has learned from this!"
A eloquent oath.
The words are impassioned and heart-warming.
Many people are excited.
With a flushed face, he wished he could set off now and lead the army towards Luoyang.
…
The oath-taking ceremony is completed.
Yuan Shao immediately summoned everyone to raise the tent.
Looking at the heroes of Guandong sitting on both sides, Yuan Shao still looked solemn and serious.
After the soldiers guarding the door lowered the curtain, Yuan Shao spoke in a deep voice.
"Thanks to all the gentlemen for not abandoning me, I have appointed Shao as the leader of the alliance. Although I am not talented, I also know the principles of clear rewards and punishments."
"From now on, if you have military exploits, you will be rewarded. If you violate military discipline, you will be severely punished. I hope you will strictly abide by it. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind!"
Everyone agreed with a roar.
The battle hasn't been fought yet, and all the soldiers and horses have not encountered major setbacks and losses, so naturally they haven't had any small thoughts yet.
Therefore, it is still at the most united moment for the alliance against Dong, and everyone respects Yuan Shao, the chosen leader of the alliance.
Seeing everyone in mind.
Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction.
"Uh-huh!"
Yuan Shao stood up and spread out a map on the desk.
"According to the information obtained from the front line, Dong Zhuo's general Hua Xiong has led an army of more than 20,000 troops stationed at Chenggao Pass."
"Chenggao Pass is the gateway to the east of Luoyang City. If you want to reach Luoyang, you must first pass this pass."
"I intend to use one person as the vanguard and lead the elite soldiers to test, while the rest of the troops will support from left and right, slow down the marching speed, and slowly advance to the outside of Chenggao Pass."
"After the vanguard has passed the test, if something can be done, the entire army will be dispatched to overthrow the enemy. The enemy will be defeated in one battle."
"If things are inconvenient after the test, we will discuss another way to defeat the enemy."
Speaking of which.
Yuan Shao paused.
Then he glanced around the crowd.
"The vanguard of this battle must have a heavy responsibility on our shoulders. It must not be a child's play. I wonder who is willing to do it?"
Yuan Shao just finished speaking.
One person stood up suddenly.
