Yuan Shao patted Xun Chen on the shoulder and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for a few years. I didn't expect that this kid like you is so popular now. I really misjudged you back then! Okay! We all know each other, so stop being pretentious, Boxi. What can you say?”
The other princes from all walks of life laughed after hearing this. The conflict between Sun Jian and Liu Dai just now was also diluted a lot, but at this time Liu Dai became invisible.
Xun Chen cupped his fists and saluted the princes and said: "My lord is now fighting a bloody battle with the Warcraft civilization outside the territory. This matter is known to the whole world! Back then, the late emperor left the young emperor alone in my lord and gave my lord the Black Dragon Sword and the Nine Dragons Royal Order. At that time, During the Shi Changshi Rebellion, our lord supported the young emperor to ascend the throne, and smashed the plot of the Dong thieves to kidnap the young emperor. On that day, he intimidated the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Bingzhou Flying Cavalry so that they did not dare to enter Luoyang. Because of the merits of Conglong, they were The Emperor calls him Master! It is a pity that now the court is dim, treacherous ministers are in power, and the Dong thieves have instigated the power. Every time my lord thinks of it, it is like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, and I am even more worried about the safety of the emperor. However, the war outside the territory is related to the people of the world and the country. My lord There is no way to escape for the time being! My lord, the two governors of Yuan, General Sun, and Captain Cao, as well as all the other lords, are all in love with each other, and my lord's will is entrusted to you! My lord has no way to send troops and prepare five million grains. Bear it for the princes to use to attack Dong!"
Xun Chen talked eloquently and calmly mentioned Qin Ge's achievements. Qin Ge was a minister of Conglong who supported the new emperor that day. In terms of loyalty and contribution to the Han royal family, no one in the room could compare with him.
At the same time, he told the current situation and Qin Ge's attitude towards Dong Dong.
Yuan Shao has been tempered by the political situation over the years, and now he is almost mature. He put his hands on his hands and sighed: "Back then, the late emperor entrusted the Black Dragon Sword to Boxi to help protect the young master's succession. Now, taking advantage of the young master's youth, Yuan Shao actually kidnapped the young master, The court has committed adultery, Boxi and we all have the obligation and responsibility to kill this thief together, so it is not in vain for the Han ministers!"
Although Liu Dai, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, launched an alliance of heroes to challenge Dong, after all, no one in the court issued an edict, so the alliance of princes was not justified at this time.
Qin Ge helped the emperor ascend the throne that day, holding the Black Dragon Sword to protect the emperor and frighten Dong Zhuo. In addition, when he went on the expedition that day, the emperor went out of the city in public to persuade him to stay, and Qin Ge was canonized by Liu Hong as a tiger under the emperor, and he had the responsibility of protecting the royal power.
Now if Qin Ge's responsibilities are used to launch a protest against the director, the justice and legitimacy of their action will be greatly improved.
Moreover, Qin Ge not only had a life-long friendship with Sun Jian, but also had deep friendship with Gongsun Zan, Qiao Mao, Ma Teng, Zhang Yang and other princes. At this time, Qin Ge could use Qin Ge's power to greatly enhance his prestige and suppress it. Liu Dai.
Yuan Shao raised his hand and said: "Those three words "champion" can be worth millions of soldiers! Come here! Set up a flag for the seal and the 19th town prince! Let Youruo exercise the power of discussion on his behalf!"
When Liu Dai saw that Qin Ge had such great influence before he arrived, and that Yuan Shao dared to compete with him for fame, he became furious and wanted to refute, but Cao Cao pulled his sleeve and stopped him with his eyes.
After Yuan Shao finished speaking, Sun Jian, Ma Teng, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Yang, Qiao Mao and other princes responded one after another. Yuan Shu and other princes did not want to offend Qin Ge, so they stood up and agreed. If Liu Dai objects at this time, he will directly become the target of public criticism.
Soon according to Qin Ge's title, a seat was set up on the left side of the alliance leader's position. Behind it was a flag with the word Qin embroidered on the bottom. It seemed that Yuan Shao had already prepared Qin Ge's battle flag.
Seeing this, Xun Chen no longer gave in. He thanked everyone and stood behind the chair to participate in the gathering of princes.
Everyone in the field knew about the grievances between Liu Dai and Qin Ge. At this time, looking at Liu Dai with a pig-colored face, more people showed disdain!
Most of the princes who rose to prominence due to their military exploits, such as Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan, Ma Teng and Zhang Yang, had deep ties and friendships with Qin Ge. Needless to say, they despised this stupid pig.
Even Yuan Shu, Yuan Yi, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao and other members of the noble family are famous in the world. Now we see that Yuan Shao is using Qin Ge's fame to win over people's hearts and occupy moral righteousness, while Liu Dai is still working for his personal interests. As they grudged each other so hard, how could such a narrow-minded and short-sighted person lead the heroes? On the contrary, Yuan Shao became more and more leader-like at this time.
After everyone sat down, Cao Cao, who had been hiding behind Liu Dai, clasped his fists and said: "All the princes came here to revitalize the Han Dynasty and attack the national traitor Dong Zhuo. Now that the right place, the right people and the right people are on our side, we can surely defeat Luoyang in one fell swoop if we unite as one." , to help protect the emperor and revive the Han Dynasty! However, a snake cannot survive without a head. We must elect a highly respected person as the leader of the alliance! Liu Gongshan is the governor of Yanzhou and a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so he should be the leader of the alliance of all the princes! "
As soon as Cao Cao said this, everyone was shocked. Their eyes looked strangely between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, while Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Shao with a half-smile.
As we all know, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are good-for-trousers, and they were inseparable when they were in Luoyang, the capital. But now Yuan Shao is in Jizhou, recruiting troops, and after Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong, he did not defect to Yuan Shao, but instead defected to the infamous Liu Dai.
Everyone can see that Yuan Shao wants to rely on his influence to become the leader in the world and is bound to win the position of alliance leader. Now Cao Cao is the first to recommend Liu Dai. Isn't this an eyesore for Yuan Shao?
Did something happen between the two of them? Now they are parting ways and the relationship is broken.
Yuan Shao held the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and looked at Cao Cao with a smile on his face.
What does Cao Aman mean?
On that day, Cao Cao proposed to unite Qin Ge, and the three of them formed an iron triangle to stabilize the court, reform the government, and pacify the four sides. However, because the young emperor was too attached to Qin Ge, and once the reform policies proposed by Cao Cao were implemented, they would probably offend the world's nobles. .
It is true that Yuan Shao did not have the courage to engage in any new policy with Cao Cao and Qin Ge. It was true that he was greedy for power and joined forces with his relatives and ministers to squeeze Qin Ge out of Luoyang.
After this incident, Dong Zhuo, the evil wolf, unexpectedly drove Ding Yuan to death. Together with Lu Bu, the beast, he led the two frontier armies of Xiliang and Bingzhou to take control of Luoyang and kidnapped the emperor.
Yuan Shao also regretted it and apologized to Cao Cao afterwards. However, this guy had always been tepid and had drifted away from him since then.
Since Cao Cao was close to Dong Zhuo in Luoyang later, Yuan Shao thought that this guy was groveling to Dong Zhuo for power. Later, Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong and brought out an imperial edict from Luoyang to attack Dong Zhuo, inviting him to attack and kill Dong Zhuo.
Yuan Shao also sent more than ten invitations to Cao Cao in succession, and promised a high position to his once best brother. However, Cao Cao rejected them one by one and surrendered to Liu Dai. Is he not as good as this good-for-nothing Liu Dai?
Yuan Shao kept a calm expression on his face, still maintaining an elegant smile, but there was an inexplicable anger in his heart, feeling that Cao Cao was disgusting him.
"Although Liu Gongshan is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, today's battle on the battlefield requires a great talent who can unite heroes from all sides and is good at uniting the army to fight as the leader of the alliance. Yuan Benchu is famous all over the world, and heroes all over the world admire his name. I recommend Yuan Benchu to be the leader of the alliance! "Yuan Shao's cousin Yuan Yi stood up to support Yuan Shao, which made Yuan Shu a little unhappy.
"Prefect Yuan is right. Liu Gongshan is narrow-minded, which can be seen from his wanton slander of the champion prince. If the coalition of princes is commanded by him, it will be defeated thousands of miles away and all lives will be ruined! This is an act of national subjugation. I support Yuan Benchu as the leader of the alliance!" Yuan Yi said in a strong voice. As soon as the place fell into silence, a sudden voice appeared, and Qiao Mao stood up with an excited expression. He not only recommended Yuan Shao, but also directly dismissed Liu Dai as worthless.
Qiao Mao's father was the great Confucian Qiao Xuan, who was a leading scholar and the first of the three former princes. He had always had a good reputation among scholars, and his words could be said to be inspiring.
Especially since Qiao Mao is the county guard under Liu Dai, his words can be said to have even taken off Liu Dai's pants!
"Everyone! How dare you humiliate me like this!" Liu Dai drew out his sword in anger, hoping to make Qiao Mao's blood splash on the spot. The conflict between the two had been going on for a long time, and now Qiao Mao was completely torn apart.
Cao Cao quickly held Liu Dai down. This guy was really a political fool and a piece of shit that couldn't be helped. Drawing his sword now would really cost him all his face and dignity.
Qiao Mao's words completely pushed Liu Dai off the altar.
Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Yang and others stood up and raised their hands to support Yuan Shao. These three people have been on the battlefield for a long time and know the consequences of an incompetent general's army being exhausted. Qiao Mao's words can be said to be fair and just for the overall situation.
However, since they themselves do not have the prestige to lead the heroes, supporting Yuan Shao at this time is the most conducive to defeating Dong. After all, compared with Yuan Shao, Liu Dai is just a fool.
Seeing that Sun Jian and others supported Yuan Shao, others also followed suit. Even Zhang Miao and Bao Xin, who were under Liu Dai's rule, raised their hands to support Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu also raised his hands when he saw that Yuan Shao was unstoppable.
Liu Bei saw that Yuan Shao was disappointed and finally raised his hand.
The scene suddenly became extremely weird. Liu Dai's face swelled to the color of pig liver, which was a slap in his face. Especially when he looked at Qiao Mao, a look of resentment flashed in his eyes.
There was a secret hint of coldness in Cao Cao's eyes. He held Liu Dai down, who was about to leave in anger, and sighed softly in his ear: "Uncle Emperor! The situation is forcing you to be angry at this time, which makes you have no grace. I'm afraid you will be ridiculed by the heroes of the world! Now is the time to show your grace! Lest the world leave any excuse!"
Liu Dai looked sideways at Cao Cao, with a look of emotion in his eyes and said: "The strong wind knows the strong grass, Meng De is indeed loyal and selfless to me! What a shame these people are so blind that they look down on others!"
At this time, being insulted by everyone made Liu Dai rely on Cao Cao even more, and the corners of Cao Cao's lips curved into something that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
Liu Dai reluctantly stood up and gave in, allowing Yuan Shao to become the leader of the alliance.
Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the alliance by the public, and he was in a happy mood at this time, just like when Duke Huan of Qi was hegemonic, imitating the three words of the ancients.
Liu Dai and Yuan Shu were so angry that their teeth itched with hatred.
After Yuan Shao ascended the throne of the leader of the alliance, he drew out his Sizhao Sword and said loudly: "Today I have been promoted by all the princes. I, Yuan Shao, will definitely live up to the expectations of all the princes. We will jointly swear to defeat the traitors of the country and revive the Han Dynasty!"
Everyone drew their swords and put them on Yuan Shao's sword, and swore an oath with Yuan Shao. Then Yuan Shao took all the princes to the alliance platform, slaughtered three animals, offered sacrifices to the gods, and jointly broke the blood to form an alliance.
After that, Yuan Shao showed his expertise and led a group of heroes to gather for a party and feast.
Liu Dai had long been angry. Seeing Yuan Shao showing off like this, the most hateful thing was that Yuan Shao was mingling with all the princes, and only he, the emperor's uncle, was isolated. He was itching with hatred. After drinking some wine, he was beaten by Cao Cao. He helped him into the military tent to prevent this guy from losing his composure in front of the heroes after drinking too much.
Liu Dai was sitting in the tent with a gloomy look and sulking, while Cao Cao let out a long sigh.
Liu Dai turned his head and stared at Cao Cao with burning eyes: "Why did Meng De sigh?"
Cao Cao calmed down and said: "Now that all the princes in the world have risen together, Dong Zhuo is just like Wang Mang back then. Even if the heroes kill Dong Zhuo, will he return power to the young emperor?"
When Liu Dai heard Cao Cao's words, his eyes flashed and he said: "Meng De advises me to follow the example of Emperor Guangwu and revive the Han Dynasty!"
Cao Cao cupped his fists and saluted Liu Dai: "Now that the world has entered a time of great strife, Ming Gong, you are sitting in the prosperous and prosperous land of Yanzhou. At that time, Emperor Guangwu was just a local tycoon. Your foundation is a hundred times deeper than his. However, Now Yanzhou is rampant with bandits and is constrained by other princes..."
When Liu Dai heard this, his eyes flashed coldly and said: "That's right! Those three bastards Qiao Mao, Zhang Miao and Bao Xin dare to betray me and recommend Yuan Shao. If they want to dominate the world and realize the resurgence of the Han Dynasty, I must stand first." Keep your footing, and when I annex Yanzhou and control it, I can conquer the world, including that Qin Ge!"
Cao Cao's eyes flashed and he said: "The Baibo bandits are about to make a move recently. I plan to let my brothers Yuan Rang and Miaocai stick to Juancheng and Dingtao counties and recruit troops. They can not only defend Yanzhou City, but also take the opportunity to suppress Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao and Bao The three of you believe in preparing for your unification of Yanzhou in the future! At the same time, Zixiao’s shield is indestructible, and Lu Bu and Niu Fu are both top warriors in the world. With Zixiao commanding the Yunjia Guards of the Chinese Army, you can keep your Majesty safe!”
The two cities of Juancheng and Dingtao formed a triangle to defend Yanzhou City, and were stuck at the throat of Dongjun, Chenliu and Jiyin counties. Liu Dai was already excited by Emperor Guangwu's feat, and his subordinate Le Jin and Li Dian were far less capable of fighting than the two brothers Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan, and he looked down even further on the evolutionist forces of the Holy Shield Society and the Great Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Bingzhou Flying Cavalry were the two strongest Han troops, and Lu Bu was even more brave. Taking the head of a general out of ten thousand troops was like picking something out of a bag!
As for Niu Fu, the most brave general in Xiliang, he had the power to destroy the heaven and earth with his sun-killing arrow. Since he had been guarding the rear area for Dong Zhuo, his reputation was not obvious in the Central Plains. However, the senior officials of the Han Dynasty had long known about his terrifying strength.
And Cao Ren blocked Yang Wanchun's fatal blow for He Jin during the National War. His reputation as a famous defensive general has been resounding throughout the Han Dynasty. With Cao Ren's shield, his life is safe on the battlefield.
