Wang Kuang: We are gathered here with great righteousness. However, it is not enough for a snake to be headless. We should nominate a leader.
Zhang Miao: It should be so. I, Zhang Mengzhuo, second my opinion.
Cao Cao: Benchu is the initiator, and his reputation is unmatched by anyone. I think the leader of the alliance must be Benchu.
Yuan Shao: Why did Meng De say this? He is trying to offend me. I must not do it. I should look for someone with a strong reputation.
Bao Xin: The position of alliance leader must be based on the origin.
Kong Min: We second the proposal. Liu Dai: We second the proposal.
It can be said that Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, and it can be said that he was welcomed by the public. Even if Cao Cao had great talents and great strategies, he had to temporarily submit to Yuan Shao and could only follow the trend.
The dragon can be big or small, it can rise or disappear. If it is big, it can stir up clouds and spit out mist. If it is small, it can hide its form. If it rises, it can soar in the universe. If it is hidden, it can lurk within the waves.
Yuan Shao: Xianyi, you have helped my father a lot this time. Have you seen the look on Yuan Shu's face?
Yuan Xi: It is not the child's power that the father deserves the attention of the public.
Yuan Shao: Well, my father has lost his temper. Xianyi, please tell me what my father should do next.
Yuan Xi: This is a big matter, and I can’t tell you.
Yuan Shao: I swear my oath tomorrow. You should follow my father and don’t run around. The world is in chaos.
Yuan Xi: Father, don’t worry, the child knows.
Yuan Shao is not a good king, but he is indeed a good father.
Li Su: My lord, Yuan Shao and other princes have formed an alliance with Suanzao and are about to rush to Luoyang to kill them.
Dong Zhuo: Damn Yuan Benchu, he just won’t let me stop. I must eliminate him this time.
Zheng Tai: As a prime minister, virtue is the key to governance, not having many soldiers.
Dong Zhuo: Ridiculous, ridiculous, and really a rotten Confucian view.
Zheng Tai: Prime Minister, this is not what I meant. Yuan Benchu and others are all the sons of ministers. They are not accustomed to fighting. Most of them are talkative people, and they are not worthy of being rivaled by adults.
Dong Zhuo: Well, go on.
Zheng Tai: Moreover, their officials and titles are all self-proclaimed and not appointed by the court. They are rebellious. Moreover, the princes all have their own agendas and want to preserve their strength. They are definitely not willing to work together. Therefore, the prime minister does not need the main force to go eastward.
Li Ru: My lord, what Zheng Shangshu said makes sense.
Dong Zhuo: That Wenyou can teach me some good advice.
Li Ru: My lord, we must stick to Hulao and Sishui Pass.
Dong Zhuo: Just act accordingly and meet with the princes.
This court meeting was a double act between Dong Zhuo and Li Ru. The general policy had been set before, and it was just for the sake of retreat. .
In court discussions, Dong Zhuo cannot show weakness. Once someone secretly discovers Dong Zhuo's true identity, the Yuan family will cooperate inside and outside.
In 190, during the alliance meeting, our second son of the Yuan family, Yuan Xi, was also thinking about the future, but he was not very optimistic about the Allies, because the Allies were political and military alliances with many internal contradictions, inherent deficiencies, and huge differences. , it's okay to say that when you have an advantage, once you are at a disadvantage, it is very likely to fall apart in an instant. The fortress is often breached from within, but Yuan Xi's butterfly wings are still too weak after all to incite a hurricane.
A man as talented and powerful as Cao Cao is helpless in the face of this situation, not to mention our second son of the Yuan family, Yuan Xi, the situation has not yet come.
A gentleman hides his weapon in his body, waits for the right moment, and strives for the inevitable.
At this time, Cao Cao already had Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin and other talents under his command, as well as Wei Hong of the Wei family who supported Cao Cao. In a sense, God is fair. In terms of hardware, Cao Cao may not be as good as Yuan Shao, but in terms of software configuration, Cao Cao is more dominant. This is the so-called balance.
What's more, Liu Bei weaved mats and sold shoes. As soon as he made his debut, God gave him two sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. They were both enemies of thousands of people and had unparalleled loyalty. Destiny is indeed a mysterious thing.
