Chapter 43
When Liu Tao came to the headquarters of the coalition army of Sour Jujube again, everyone's eyes looked at Liu Tao differently, this is natural, after all, who can treat you badly if so many gifts are smashed? Especially those princes who are short of food, such as Ma Teng, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan and others, of course, Liu Bei is not counted. Although the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu didn't look at Liu Tao very much, it was a pity that no one could refuse the power of wine and BMW, and Cao Cao followed Liu Tao with eyebrows.
"The Liuxian order came just in time, our army is about to enter the Bishui Pass, Brother Wentai is willing to be the vanguard of the army's thousand steps, I don't know if the Liuxian order is willing to go with Brother Wentai?" Liu Tao was not invited to this meeting, which made Tai Shici and Dian Wei very unhappy, and now as soon as the three of them arrived at the coalition camp, they were sneered at by this kind of cynicism, which naturally made Dian Wei and Tai Shici extremely angry, but fortunately, Liu Tao signaled the two to be calm and not be impatient, so that the two did not have a seizure.
Liu Tao naturally knew why everyone still didn't want to see them so much after smashing the heavy salute, it was nothing more than Liu Tao who followed Dong Zhuo's ass when he was in Luoyang, and besides, which one of the people who came here to meet the alliance was not a prince or a child of a family? What does it mean that you have a small county commander who brought 10,000 elite soldiers to the alliance, and you also gave gifts and grain and grass everywhere? Money is stupid, and it is quite powerful, what does this mean? Two words, fat sheep. The county order is nothing more than ridiculing Liu Tao's birth, in the eyes of children of families like Yuan Shao, Liu Tao is just a clown who jumps off the beam.
"The alliance leader said with a smile, I have few soldiers in Dongmu County, which is the opponent of the Xiliang Army who is brave and good at fighting, not to mention that General Sun is brave and good at fighting, and the children of Jiangdong regard death as home, if I follow this time, wouldn't it be suspected of sharing the credit of General Sun? This kind of thing can never be done, it cannot be done. "Liu Tao has already made up his mind, since you look down on me, I don't need to follow you to fool around, anyway, when your head is bleeding in front.
"Then I don't know why Liuxian ordered this here?" Yuan Shu asked Liu Tao angrily, and at the same time muttered a sentence worthy of Dong Zhuo's lackey, so greedy for life and afraid of death, this happened to be heard by Tai Shi Ci, Tai Shi Ci stared at Yuan Shu angrily, Yuan Shu sneered and looked at Liu Tao.
"It's okay here, I heard that General Sun is going to go on an expedition, and I hereby present a treasure to wish our coalition forces a victory and success." Liu Tao motioned for Dian Wei to take out the map. It's a pity that although Dian Wei was not happy at the moment, he still honestly took out the map, and at the same time, four or five soldiers walked up carrying a huge sand table.
"Hmph, just a map and a sand table are embarrassed to take it out and show it? It's really a country bun. Yuan Shu was still sneering there, and everyone's faces were more or less ugly, only Cao Cao had been watching all this coldly.
"Whether it's a treasure or not, please ask the alliance leader and the generals to see it." Liu Tao smiled and asked Dian Wei to open the map, and the two soldiers opened the sand table, and everyone gasped deeply when they saw the map and the sand table, especially Sun Jian.
Sun Jian walked to the side of the map and looked at the map carefully, his face was full of shock, and the sand table was so realistic. Everyone couldn't sit still when they saw the map and sand table that Liu Tao had offered, so they came up one after another and looked carefully around the sand table and map. Everyone looked at the sand table and the map with a look of shock, they didn't have no map, not that there was no sand table, but compared to the one in front of them, it was completely rubbish, with such a map and sand table, they naturally knew what it represented.
"I didn't expect Brother Peng Ju to have such a treasure in his hands, which really surprised a certain family." Cao Cao was the first to smile at Liu Tao, and at the same time said to Yuan Shao: "Alliance leader, if our army gets this thing, it will be able to win and conquer Bishui Pass in one fell swoop." ”
"Brother Pengju, your map can save the lives of many of my Jiangdong children, and I thank you on behalf of Jiangdong children." Sun Jian also looked at Liu Tao with a grateful face, although he looked down on Liu Tao in his heart, but he was really moved in his heart, this is to send money and food, and also send maps, where do you find such a good person.
"It's rare for Pengju to be so loyal, I will definitely present the Son of Heaven and count Pengju's first contribution to this battle. Come on, give Peng Ju a seat. Yuan Shao also laughed at Liu Tao after reading the map, their map and sand table can really be thrown away compared to this, and the two things are not the same grade at all.
"Alliance leader, this treasure is a map and sand table that I have spent several years traveling around Luoyang, and now my coalition will ally against thieves and save the world, how can I hide it privately." Liu Tao praised Yuan Shao again, which made Yuan Shu, who was doing it on the side, even more unhappy, but at this time, everyone was happy that he was not good at attacking. Yuan Shao is now touted with a spring breeze on his face, and asked Liu Tao with a smile what reward he needs.
"The alliance leader must not say this, this time the alliance, I am also a member of the coalition, how dare I talk about rewards?" Liu Tao hurriedly stood up and pretended to be frightened and said to Yuan Shao.
"It's rare for Pengju to be so loyal, so you can follow the army in the future." Yuan Shao nodded and said to Liu Tao with a smile, this sentence can be regarded as an admission that Liu Tao is a member of the coalition army, and Liu Tao finally breathed a big sigh of relief in his heart.
Liu Tao is not short of money or food now, but is short of people, but what is really lacking behind the lack of people? is nothing more than fame, unlike Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, Liu Tao was not born into a family, and he did not have so many relationships on the official face. Liu Tao has not been able to recruit talents, although the pattern of Dongmu County is too small, and the most important reason is that his reputation in the Eastern Han Dynasty is not as good as that of Liu Bei, and at least he has exterminated the Yellow Turban, and he is still the emperor's uncle today.
The map and the sand table were made by Liu Tao for a hundred energy points, this kind of thing is too simple, what Liu Tao wants is to get a seat for the coalition army by sacrificing this map and sand table. After all, the princes begging for Dong is an opportunity for Liu Tao to make a name for himself that Liu Tao must not miss, why are gifts given these days? Could it be that the achievement is to make friends with these people? Of course not, what Liu Tao wants is to be a part of the crowd in order to earn a little prestige.
Liu Tao naturally sat down unceremoniously, and Liu Bei, who was standing behind Gongsun Zhan, looked at Liu Tao's eyes red, a small county magistrate who was not born had won a place, and his dignified imperial uncle was still standing behind someone's ass, the gap was too big! Liu Tao doesn't care about this, now that he has become a part of them, he can blatantly dig the corner of the wall, now many people are still serving as a small officer in the coalition army, and it is a good opportunity to dig the foot of the wall at this time, if you miss it at this time, wouldn't it be a pity?
"Who is the first? Now Zhang He is Han Fu's military commander, his official position is not big, his reputation is not obvious, he should be able to change it, as for Gao Lan, who shined with him in the Hebei War, he is also suffering in Yuan Shao's army, so he just poached these two people. Liu Tao thought about it and had an idea, as long as the gift was enough to impress Han Fu and Yuan Shao, these two people were nothing to them at all, the key was what this gift was!
