Chapter 397: Forming an Alliance (Part II)
The book is picked up again.
"Still won't work!" After Cao Cao heard Yuan Shu's words, he shook his head categorically and said helplessly: "Just like you said, the person who got 20,000 war horses from Dong Zhuo is a virtuous brother, not a subordinate brother.
I don't even have 2,000 war horses in my hands now, how can I give you 5,000 war horses? ”
Hearing this, Yuan Shu looked at Cao Cao, shook his head, and said expressionlessly: "Then I don't care, five thousand war horses, not one less!"
If you don't have one, you can go to the hussar general and ask for it!
Since he can give you 40,000 troops for nothing, presumably he will not spare these 5,000 war horses.
Perhaps, if you go and ask him, he can give you 10,000 war horses?
When the time comes, if you give 5,000 horses, won't there be 5,000 left?
Won't you earn in this way? ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Cao Cao with a playful gaze, but the depths of his eyes were full of jealousy.
He also really wanted a friend who could give him an army of 40,000 for nothing.
It's a pity that those friends who drank and meat in the past, after hearing that his Yuan family was targeted by Dong Zhuo, all had a clear relationship with him.
Those friends who drink and meat don't say that they helped him, they already have a conscience if they don't fall into the well.
He believed that among his friends who drank and meat, there must be many people who were reporting to Dong Zhuo in order to gain Dong Zhuo's attention.
It is precisely because Yuan Shu does not have a close friend at all that he is jealous of Cao Cao's good luck.
That's right, it's good luck, he thinks that Cao Cao can meet Li Zhi, but it's just shit luck.
After all, there are too few people like Li Zhi who are in a high position, but they don't forget their old friends, and if they can meet this one, he estimates that Cao Cao's ancestral tomb has begun to smoke.
After Cao Cao heard Yuan Shu's words, he asked with a gloomy face, "What do you mean by this?!"
Does the highway brother think that he is a person who has gained inches?
It is already a great kindness for the virtuous brother to give 40,000 troops under him, and there is no way to repay him, how can he ask him for war horses again? ”
When Yuan Shu heard this, he looked at Cao Cao, who had a gloomy face, and said disdainfully: "Your Cao family can be regarded as a small family.
How can we attach so much importance to friendship as we value the interests of our family?
Now you just need to ask Li Xingzhi for the war horse, and he will definitely give it to you!
When the time comes, you can barely form a cavalry of 5,000 men if you give 5,000 to the next 5,000 and leave 5,000 for yourself.
With these 5,000 cavalry, plus your army of more than 40,000, when the time comes, your status in the world will not be much worse than Li Zhi's.
Moreover, with these soldiers and horses, coupled with the support of the subordinates, the position of the leader of the Dong League is in your pocket.
And once you become the leader of the alliance to woo Dong, you will inevitably become famous all over the world.
At that time, your Cao family will also be blessed by you and become the top family, wouldn't it be beautiful? ”
After finishing speaking, he stared at Cao Cao with blazing eyes, with a look of expectation in his eyes, hoping that Cao Cao would agree to this time.
The reason why he was so eager to promote this was not for Cao Cao's good, but for his five thousand war horses.
The most important thing is that once Cao Cao agrees to this, then his relationship with Li Zhi will definitely be much more estranged.
As long as Li Zhi alienated Cao Cao, then Yuan Shu could sow discord among them and make Li Zhi and Cao Cao completely break up.
A Cao Cao with Li Zhi's support is very different from Cao Cao without Li Zhi's support.
If Li Zhi no longer supports Cao Cao, then if Cao Cao wants to ascend to the position of alliance leader, he must rely on Yuan Shu!
When the time comes, Yuan Shu will be able to make greater benefits from Cao Cao.
However, Yuan Shu was shrewd, and Cao Cao was not stupid, and after hearing Yuan Shu's words, he immediately understood his intentions.
He really couldn't imagine that at this point, Yuan Shu would still intrigue with him, which really disappointed him.
With this disappointment, Cao Cao waved his hand helplessly, and said weakly: "There are only two thousand war horses under your command, and I can give you a thousand."
If you agree, then you and I will form an alliance.
If you don't agree, then you can do it yourself, and don't care about your business anymore! ”
After finishing speaking, Cao Cao picked up the teacup with some discouragement, and tasted it without taking a sip.
The reason why Cao Cao formed this alliance was not for his own power, but for the sake of Zhongxing Han!
However, judging from Yuan Shu's performance, I am afraid that few people in the world take the matter of Zhongxing Dahan to heart.
People from a family like Yuan Shu all put the interests of their own families above the interests of the Han, so who would prosper the Han?
It must be known that among the current Han people, the ten most capable people are from the family, this time, if the family does not contribute, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed!
Yes, before the discussion of Dong began this time, Cao Cao's heart was clouded, and he always had a bad premonition.
"I just hope this hunch is a delusion." Cao Cao sighed in his heart while sipping tea.
After Yuan Shu heard Cao Cao's words, he said with a gloomy face: "Aren't you afraid that you will leave in the next place, so that you can't take advantage of my Yuan family's reputation?"
You have to think about it, if it weren't for my Yuan family to take the lead, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the world family to obey your life! ”
"It doesn't matter" Cao Cao said nonchalantly after hearing Yuan Shu's words: "Even if there is no you, isn't there still your brother's original brother?"
As long as he raises his arms, presumably the world's families will follow. ”
After hearing the words "Yuan Benchu", Yuan Shu's face turned cold.
Then, he said coldly: "Even if my brother supports Dong, when the time comes, I am afraid that he will compete with you for the position of alliance leader."
His reputation is higher than yours, and his soldiers and horses are no less than yours, and without my support, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to compete with him!
Are you really willing to make wedding dresses for others? ”
After Cao Cao heard Yuan Shu's words, he glanced at him, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Of course I'm not reconciled!"
However, there was really no way to meet Brother Gao's requirements, so he had to settle for the next best.
In fact, it is not bad for Brother Benchu to be the leader of the alliance, he has a noble status and full of fame, and he is qualified to lead the world's heroes to crusade against Dong Zhuo.
Moreover, after the success of the discussion, no matter who it is, it will not be able to erase the credit of the initiator.
At that time, the credit will only be under the original brother.
If the virtuous brother makes another move, maybe the credit will be on par with the original brother.
Since this is the case, there is no need to fight for the position of alliance leader. ”
After finishing speaking, Cao Cao picked up the teacup, looked at Yuan Shu alone, and said with a smile: "Since you don't need the support of this road brother anymore, then I won't leave more road brothers in the future, please,"
"Humph!" Yuan Shu snorted coldly after hearing Cao Cao's words.
He knew that what Cao Cao said was not what he was talking about, but he just wanted to use it to make him give up the five thousand war horses, although he was unwilling, but Yuan Shu was helpless.
"Okay, Ben Gongzi agreed, a thousand is a thousand!"
After finishing speaking, Yuan Shu slowly lowered his head, his face full of gloom.
When he came to Cao Cao's mansion today, he was deflated several times.
If he had followed his temper in the past, he would have already taken the case by this time.
However, he has now lost the ability to flip the table and can only swallow his anger.
"Haha......" After hearing Yuan Shu's promise to this, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Okay! It is said that the current affairs are Junjie, and the highway brother is really the Junjie among the people! ”
Saying that, Cao Cao picked up the teacup and saluted Yuan Shu: "Come, replace the wine with tea, and toast Brother Lu with a cup!" ”
After speaking, he drank the tea in the cup.
"Humph!" After Yuan Shu snorted coldly with a gloomy face, he didn't refute, and took a sip of the teacup and drank the tea.
In the end, he didn't even let go of the tea leaves, and after chewing a few bites hard, he swallowed it in one gulp, as if he had swallowed Cao Cao Sheng.
Seeing this, Cao Cao didn't get angry, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what the third condition of Brother Highway is?" ”
When Yuan Shu heard this, after a little hesitation, he said fiercely: "This son wants you to make a guarantee, after you become the leader of the alliance, you must let this son's status be above that Yuan Benchu!" ”
Speaking of this, he stared at Cao Cao's eyes and said word by word: "There is absolutely no room for bargaining for this condition, you can only agree!"
Otherwise, this son will never respect you as the leader of the alliance! ”
Although Yuan Shu had already opened the knot in his heart, his hatred for Yuan Shao had not decreased by half a point, so he made this condition that harmed others and was not beneficial to himself.
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment after hearing Yuan Shu's words, he didn't understand, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were both members of the Yuan family, no matter who their status was higher or lower, they would be of great benefit to others, why did they have to fight for success?
Although he didn't understand why Yuan Shu would do such an unwise act.
However, this is a family matter of the Yuan family, and Cao Cao is too lazy to take care of it, so after a little thought, he agreed to the matter: "This matter has been agreed to by Xia, and after he becomes the leader of the alliance, he will make Brother Yuan Highway the deputy leader of the alliance."
As for the original brother......
Just wronged him to be a grain officer......"
