Chapter 421: Worshipping the Heavens (Asking for Support)
Early the next morning.
Cao Cao used these few days to set up an altar in front of the camp to commemorate the blood alliance of heaven and earth.
This altar is built with white and yellow Yue, the seal of the soldiers, the incense burner three animals, and the surrounding is unevenly and orderly planted with eighteen flags, which represent the eighteen princes.
At this time, Cao Cao led the people to the bottom of the altar and said to them: "Everyone, please wait here, and come when you go down." ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Zhi who was wearing a mask, nodded slightly, and walked to the altar with a serious face.
When he came to the altar, he looked at everything in front of him in a daze.
He knew that as long as he worshipped heaven and earth, he would be the leader of the Dong League who controlled an army of more than 400,000 people.
Cao Cao, who had never been in contact with such a powerful person, was very excited.
Subsequently......
"Huh......" Cao Cao exhaled deeply and calmed the excitement in his heart.
After Cao Cao regained his composure, he took off the snake sword at his waist and placed it on the altar.
Then, he took out three large incense sticks the size of three arms from the side, lit them on the candle, took a deep breath, and inserted them into the incense burner.
After lighting the incense, he took a step back and saluted respectfully to the serpent sword on several cases.
Then, he stood up straight, took out a sacrificial letter from his arms, and read it aloud: "The sky is above, the Han family is unfortunate, and the emperor is out of control."
The thief Dong Zhuo, took advantage of the provocation and indulgence, added disaster to the supreme, and abused the people.
Cao waited for fear of the loss of the society, entangled the volunteers, and went to the country.
Whoever is allied with me and works together to make the ministers have no two aspirations.
There is this alliance of Chongqing, and it is impossible to lose its life, and there is no legacy.
The emperor and the queen of heaven, the ancestors and the spirits, are all learned! ”
After reading it, Cao Cao lit the edict of worshiping the heavens, placed it in a brazier, and quietly watched it burn to ashes.
Immediately, Cao Cao took out a knife from his waist and slashed it at his arm......
In an instant, blood gushed from his wounds.
Although the blood was pouring from his arm, Cao Cao didn't even frown as if he didn't feel pain, but just stretched his arm to a jar of wine next to him.
"Tick tock......" The blood on Cao Cao's arm dripped down his arm into the wine jar.
After a while, the wine in the jar turned a pale red.
Seeing this, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, withdrew his hand, bandaged it roughly, and then bowed slightly to everyone in the audience and said, "Everyone, please come to the stage." ”
Everyone in the audience was ready, and as soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Yuan Shao, who was standing under the stage, first had to go up to the altar, and like Cao Cao, he dripped some blood in the wine altar.
Later, others did the same, dripping their blood into the jar.
After everyone on the stage had finished dripping blood, Cao Cao picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl of wine one by one against the eighteen large bowls on the altar.
After pouring the wine, Cao Cao picked up a bowl of wine and saluted everyone: "Everyone, I hope that we will work together to punish Dong Zhuo, Zhongxing Dahan, and Liufang for a hundred generations!" ”
After hearing Cao Cao's words, everyone else picked up a bowl of wine and shouted in unison: "Punish Dong Zhuo together!" ZTE Dahan! ”
After saying that, the eighteen of them drank all the wine in the bowl at the same time.
Then they threw the empty bowl in their hands downward......
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
After the fall, they looked at each other and burst out laughing.
After laughing for a while, Cao Cao pressed his hand and said to everyone: "Everyone, I'll wait to go back to the big tent." ”
After hearing Cao Cao's words, the others had no opinion, so they selected the two civil and military and helped Cao Cao to walk towards the big tent.
The two civil and military men are listed on the left and right of Cao Cao, on the left is Kong Rong, who represents the civil affairs, and on the right is Yuan Shu, who represents the martial affairs.
Among the people present, no one is more qualified to represent Wenshi than Kong Rong, who is a descendant of the Confucian saint.
As for Yuan Shu, who represents martial affairs......
Who made him the first person to approve of Cao Cao as the leader of the alliance?
If Cao Cao doesn't arrange a good seat for Yuan Shu, it means that Cao Cao is unkind and unrewarded.
Therefore, even if Cao Cao didn't look down on Yuan Shu, he could only pinch his nose and let Yuan Shu represent martial arts.
Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses among the crowd were second only to Cao Cao, so everyone reluctantly admitted that Yuan Shu had the qualifications to represent martial arts.
When they came to the big tent, everyone sat down in a row according to the year of their titles.
At this time, the feast of wine and meat that had been prepared in the big tent began to drink after everyone had sat down.
After a few rounds of drinking......
Yuan Shu stood up and said to everyone: "Since the alliance leader has been established today, then you must obey the order of the alliance leader and deal with Dong Zhuo together, and you must not slack off!" ”
After Cao Cao heard Yuan Shu's words, he stood up and said modestly: "I am not talented, I have no merits, you all love and be named the leader of the alliance, and I am ashamed in my heart."
However, since he is the leader of the alliance, he will definitely be rewarded for his merits and punished for his crimes.
As the saying goes, the state has a national law and a family rule, since we have formed an alliance, then there are laws and regulations, I hope you don't violate it! ”
After speaking, Cao Cao announced several military regulations that he had pondered for himself.
After hearing Cao Cao's words, everyone immediately stood up, saluted Cao Cao, and responded loudly: "Oh! We will remember the teachings of the bishop of the alliance, and we will not dare to disobey them! ”
Now that Cao Cao has sat in the position of the leader of the alliance, it is the time to be high-spirited, and there is no need for everyone to confront Cao Cao for this trivial matter.
Everyone knew in their hearts that if they just violated a little rule, Cao Cao would not do anything to them.
Because, although they have formed an alliance, in fact, the soldiers and horses are still controlled by their respective hands, and they are not handed over to Cao Cao at all.
Therefore, as long as he does not commit the kind of big crime of escaping from the battle, presumably Cao Cao will also turn a blind eye to some small things.
It is precisely because of this that everyone present will agree that Cao Cao has privately set rules to restrain them.
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction after seeing that everyone agreed to his rules.
After everyone sat down, Cao Cao spoke again: "Now as the leader of the alliance, he has great power.
However, no one is perfect, and I am afraid that I will be negligent in many places, so I elected two deputy alliance leaders to assist me. ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Yuan Shu, who was sitting on the side, his face full of excitement, and said with a smile: "I think that Brother Benchu can be one of the deputy alliance leaders, do you have any objections?" ”
"Haha......" As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Yuan Shu immediately stood up, laughed, and said while laughing: "Everyone, I have conceded!" ”
The position of the deputy leader of the alliance had been negotiated before that.
Therefore, when Cao Cao's words were finished, Yuan Shu didn't listen carefully at all, and immediately stood up.
After everyone present heard Yuan Shu's words, they all looked at him with idiot eyes.
Subsequently......
"Ahem!" Yuan Shao coughed dryly twice, and said calmly: "Don't mess around on the highway!"
If Brother Wei heard correctly, this position of deputy alliance leader is for Brother! ”
"Haha... Yes? Ahem!! Yuan Shu, who was laughing wildly, almost choked to death by his saliva after hearing Yuan Shao's words.
Then, he looked around in disbelief, and found that the people around him were all looking at him with contempt.
Seeing this, Yuan Shu had a bad premonition in his heart.
Then, holding on to the hope of what happened, he asked Cao Cao, "Brother Meng De, are you talking about the deputy alliance leader below?" ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Cao Cao with hopeful eyes, hoping that Cao Cao had just said the wrong thing and not abandoned him.
After Cao Cao heard Yuan Shu's words, he shook his head expressionlessly and said, "What Brother Ben Chu said is right, the deputy alliance leader recommended by you is not you, but Brother Ben Chu. ”
"Bastard!" After hearing Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shu suddenly became furious, pointed at Cao Cao's nose and shouted loudly: "You shameless villain!
Didn't we say at the beginning, you are the leader of the alliance, and I am the deputy leader of the alliance?
Why are you backtracking now?!
You have done such a backshit, and you are worthy of the position of the leader of the alliance?! ”
After Cao Cao looked at Li Zhi who was sitting beside him, he said to Yuan Shu with an expressionless face: "It is precisely because you are the leader of the alliance that you will go back on your word and not let you be the deputy leader of the alliance." ”
After Yuan Shu heard Cao Cao's words, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What a strong Cao Mengde!"
Tell me, why can't I be the deputy leader? ”
After Cao Cao heard Yuan Shu's questioning, he sighed and said with a calm face: "......"
