Chapter 30: The Princes Gather
The potter brought back the four Pei brothers in the market of Suozao County, and arranged for Xu Chu to select strong warriors from his clan soldiers to form his own personal guard, the Xuzhou Tiger Guard.
In history, there is the name of the Tiger Guard, which is a famous attack infantry under Cao Cao, and its prestige is second only to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the strong army under Cao Cao!
It is said that the Tiger Guard Army was formed in the first year of Jian'an, that is, after Cao Cao welcomed Liu Xie, the son of heaven, to return to Xudu, and its commanders and trainers were two of the most powerful warriors under Cao Cao, Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
A year after the formation of the Tiger Guard, Dian Wei died in Wancheng, so for more than 20 years, the commander of the Tiger Guard Army for Cao Cao has always been the tiger idiot Xu Chu.
Now this warrior has come to the potter's tent by mistake.
At the jujube market, the potter met the so-called "fake Cao Cao", and also met the four Pei brothers who were willing to follow him.
The potter was in his heart, thinking that this ready-made commander of the Tiger Guard was already under his command, so why didn't he make the best use of his talents and present this famous attack infantry in the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the world under his command?
The left and right sides were all stolen, and even the name "Tiger Guard" was directly used together - original, and it was not free to change it indiscriminately.
The left and right are all pirated/versions, so don't hide it at all, and directly steal him.
After this incident, Xu Chu selected one hundred and three of the strongest warriors among the clan's disciples, and then counted the four brothers of the Pei family, including Xu Chu himself, a total of one hundred and eight people...... This is the original team of the Xuzhou Tiger Guard.
For this amount, the potter couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed...... One hundred and eight people, the heavens and the earth are evil, do you want to rebel?
According to Xu Chu's thoughts, at present, there are not many soldiers but fine, since it is a guard, it is necessary to select the strongest and most endurance warriors to train in detail.
The specific trivial matters of military training, the potter does not want to take care of it for the time being, and he has no time to take care of it, and he can't manage it well.
Although it is from the later generations, but if you really want to talk about the ability to train soldiers, the potters feel that they may not have the right to speak than the ancients, as for the so-called physical fitness, skill training, standardization, mechanism, and systematization of modern military training methods in later generations, the potters feel that they are all when they are used in ancient times, one is that the training system of soldiers is different, and the other is that the equipment of cold weapons and modern special forces is different.
**************************
Representatives of the princes from all walks of life have arrived one after another, and the alliance is about to begin.
Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao and Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai had arranged for his subordinates to cast a high earth platform in the north of Suozao County, and prepare pigs, sheep and livestock for sacrificial purposes.
During the alliance of the princes, there were not many soldiers and horses brought in, so they were arranged in the four directions of the county, and the princes of all walks of life gathered in Yuan Shao's big tent to listen to the announcement.
Yuan Shao's current official position is the Bohai Taishou, which is not the highest. When it comes to background, although Yuan Shao is noble, he is not the son of the Yuan family after all, and if he talks about official positions, he is not as big as Yuan Shu's junior general.
But now in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, all the princes have recommended Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. There is a reason for this.
The fundamental reason why Yuan Shao was able to overpower Yuan Shu and become the leader of the alliance was that his ability and personal behavior won the hearts of the people.
First of all, in the matter of Dong Zhuo's abolition of Emperor Liu and the establishment of Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, as the emperor, Yuan Shao, who was in Luoyang at the time, did not compromise, but chose to confront Dong Zhuo head-on, maintaining a resolute opposition position and attitude.
This is not something that ordinary people can do, it takes a lot of courage!
Second, before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Yuan Shao was a key figure in the operation to kill the eunuchs, so he won the appreciation of everyone.
As a result, Yuan Shu, who was originally the most promising to lead the princes, watched as the crown of the alliance leader fell on the head of Yuan Shao's "house slave".
According to Yuan Shu's character, he estimated that he would have to prick the villain with Yuan Shao's name every night.
There was a huge rift between the two brothers, who originally belonged to the same clan.
When the potter walked into Yuan Shao's tent, all the princes had basically arrived, and after the potter lowered his head and reported his name to Yuan Shao, who was on the throne, he didn't say anything else, and sat obediently at the end of the princes.
Whether it is official position, fame, or age, he is far inferior to the rest of the people present.
After the potter sat down, he raised his eyes to look at Yuan Shao, but saw that this famous Hebei overlord in later generations was tall and slender, with a straight back, and a mighty appearance...... In particular, the confident smile on the corner of the mouth makes people feel very kind when they look at it.
When the potter saw Yuan Shao's appearance, he was stunned...... This old boy is running for forty years old, and he is still so handsome and heroic, without any aging, and he doesn't let Xiao Xianrou live...... It's really amazing and jealous.
After returning from the time, the potter once looked at the bronze mirror to see his appearance after his new life...... Speaking from the heart, the potter felt that he was really handsome, the kind that walked on the street with a 98% return rate, and the second percent who did not look back was blind and stupid/X.
Although handsome guys generally can't accommodate another handsome guy, the potter never thought that he would envy the appearance of a middle-aged uncle at his flower-like age.
Now, if there is a magic mirror, the potter will definitely ask the magic mirror who is the most handsome person in the world?
If the answer of the magic mirror is Yuan Benchu, the Tao Chamber of Commerce considers whether to send two catties of poisonous apples to the alliance leader in the name of tribute.
After seeing Yuan Shao's handsome face, the pottery merchant's eyes casually swept over the princes on both sides - the rest of these people are basically crooked melons and cracked dates, and they look very comfortable, and Yuan Shu is quite handsome when he looks at them...... It's okay, go back and give him a poisoned apple to eat!
When his gaze paused, he saw a dark and thin face.
The potter's pupils suddenly dilated!
Cao Cao stared at the potter with a complicated expression, a pair of small eyes flashed, the right eye circle was black and purple and black and purple with a giant panda, the eye sockets were congested with blood, and it seemed that he was still in a faint pain.
The potter's sweat flowed down in an instant.
All the princes are here, and Cao Cao estimates that it is not very convenient, otherwise he will definitely pounce on him and bite him.
……………………
At a young age, after the last few princes arrived, everyone was seated, and the meeting officially began.
Yuan Shao looked at everyone around, suddenly stopped his gaze on Cao Cao's face, and asked curiously, "Meng De, why is your face swollen?" ”
The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched when he heard this, but he inadvertently brought the wound in his eye socket, and the painful old Cao Cao gasped.
"Shhhh
Yuan Shao was surprised: "Meng De, you are ......"
"I fell...... Falling, it's fine. Cao Cao didn't want to dwell on this topic for long.
"Fell?" Yuan Shao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "You fell...... How did you swell both sides of your face? You're pretty well-proportioned...... And what's going on with your eyes? ”
Cao Cao deliberately glanced at the potter, and said lightly: "The dog bites." ”
Potter: "............"
The potter raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead, this living treasure was really Cao Cao...... Beating Cao Cao is the most earth-shattering thing he has done since he crossed over, right?
However, this black guy actually pointed to Sang and scolded Huai and said that he was a dog...... That's a bit too much, it's still too light.
Yuan Shao became more and more puzzled the more he listened.
The world is in turmoil, and the people are struggling to make a living...... Why are all the dogs in troubled times becoming sperm? Can you bite people with blue eye sockets?
But no matter how doubtful Yuan Shao was in his heart, he didn't say anything more...... Cao Cao is his best friend, and as far as Yuan Shao is concerned, he cherishes this friendship between them very much.
"Everyone!" As soon as the words changed, Yuan Shao stood up, looked at everyone generously and said, "Thank you for your attention!" Push Shao as the leader of the alliance to crusade against Dong thief Kuang to help the Han family, Shao Xin is deeply important! The purpose of gathering here today is to discuss how to raise troops and how to formulate a strategy for marching into the army. ”
Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, said with a smile: "Since we have already publicly recommended the original as the leader of the alliance, we should take the original horse as the leader, and everything should be strictly obeyed by the orders of the alliance leader." ”
Liu Dai's words seem to have reached Yuan Shao's heart, he has lived for many years, although he was born in the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, Yuan Shao's identity has always been a concubine...... The good resources and veins in the family can basically be used by Yuan Shu first.
Yuan Shao boasted that he was handsome and chic, and he was all-round in civil and military affairs, but because his biological mother was a concubine, Yuan Shao was very unhappy in his heart...... It's unpleasant to the extreme.
Yuan Shao's father, Yuan Feng, passed him to his brother Yuan Cheng because of Yuan Shao's identity, but Yuan Cheng had already passed away when he succeeded...... And Yuan Feng's foundation and resources fell on Yuan Shu's body justifiably.
Every time he thought of this, Yuan Shao wanted to pull his father out of the grave circle and slap him......
How can this world be ruled by filial piety, Yuan Shao wants to think about it, but he can't do it.
It wasn't until the beginning of recent years that Yuan Shao finally raised his eyebrows, gradually regained his disadvantage and surpassed Yuan Shu, and established his position in the Yuan family little by little.
Especially this time, he was elected by the princes of Kwantung to be the leader of the Dong League, which made Yuan Shao's prestige rise sharply, and he completely became the leader of the Yuan family.
This feeling is so comfortable.
"Liu Tingshi is too praised, and with Shao's ability, it is already arrogant to serve as the leader of the alliance...... With Liu Tingshi, Wang Taishou, Han Jizhou, Qiao Taishou, General Bao and other talents and prestige, they are enough to take on a big responsibility, if it is not for the humility of the princes, how can I get my turn Yuan Shao? Moreover, formulating a strategy is related to the great plan to save the society, and it is not something that the public can not plan for by gathering wisdom! ”
Everyone who said this nodded their heads, secretly praising Yuan Shao's high style, but Yuan Shu sneered in his heart.
Yuan Shaoshi said that his talent and prestige were unbearable, and he named a bunch of people who could serve as the leader of the alliance, but he didn't say anything about Yuan Shu.
What does that mean?
In terms of official positions, prestige, and power, which of the few Yuan Shao mentioned just now can be compared with his Yuan Shu? Yuan Shao mentioned such a large number of people in his mouth, but he didn't talk about Yuan Shu, didn't he mean to deliberately belittle me?
Yuan Shu sneered in his heart, but his face was expressionless—but his slender eyes were already full of coldness when he looked at Yuan Shao.
