Chapter Seventy-Six: The Princes' Alliance

In February of the first year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, in a small city east of Bishui Pass, the princes who responded to Cao Cao's call and raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo gathered here.

Due to the long distance, Yuan Shu was the last to lead his troops to come, and saw countless banners in the city, and the soldiers who were black and oppressive could not see the edge at a glance, and were deeply shocked by the strength of the princes in the world.

Fifteen kinds of flags were waved in the wind, and the princes of the Kwantung region basically gathered here. Yuan Shu visually measured that there were about 400,000 soldiers, and more than thirty percent of them were elites, which showed the strength of the princes in various places.

The eighteen-way princes mentioned in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Jian is now under his command, Ma Tengyuan can't come to Xiliang at all, and without these two roads, only the sixteen-way princes are left.

The 30,000 troops under the command of Yuan Shu came to an open location and set up camp under the arrangement of the envoys sent by Cao Cao.

After tidying up a little, Yuan Shu took Dian Wei, Sun Jian, and Zhou Yu to the alliance's big tent.

Sun Ce and Yuan Yao also wanted to follow, but Yuan Shu was afraid that the two little ghosts would have an accident, so he threw them back into the barracks.

Yuan Shu, who had just entered the big tent of the allies, suddenly saw his brother Yuan Shao on the main seat at the top.

After half a year's absence, this handsome, mighty, and extraordinary brother now seems to be even more terrifying. There is a kind of heroic spirit between the gestures.

His brother, who is known as a model in the world and will be the number one prince in the world in the future, has now slowly shown his domineering spirit of power.

The more he got to know his brother, the more terrifying Yuan Shu felt. When he first crossed over to this body, Yuan Shu didn't feel anything, thinking that his father was the real mastermind, and his brother was just an executor. But after thinking about it for half a year, Yuan Shu slowly understood the real horror of his brother.

Yuan Shao should be said to be the pioneer who opened the world of the Shi clan, and was the mastermind behind the entire early stage of the troubled times.

From the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the Battle of Guandu, his brother was the number one central figure in the world.

He Jin was just a puppet he pushed out, Dong Zhuo was used by him to drive away the evil tiger that devoured the wolf, and even Cao Cao was his vassal for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that Cao Cao was indeed an unworldly traitor, eloquent and strategic, and there were many civil and military helpers, he finally got rid of Yuan Shao and grew stronger, and Yuan Shao's domination of the world can be said to be basically unhindered.

The control of this brother of his own on the general trend is really terrifying, and the height of his gaze is jaw-dropping. If it weren't for the poor military quality and micro-operation ability, coupled with his own arrogance and indecision, he would have made a mistake a little less, and it would have been a matter of course to gain the world.

In Yuan Shu's heart, the number one enemy who seized the world was not the eloquent Cao Cao, nor the stoic Liu Bei, but his brother, a model in the world.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Shu walked up slowly step by step.

And Yuan Shao also saw Yuan Shu: "Highway, you're finally here!" The princes of the alliance will send you one! ”

Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Shao's seemingly enthusiastic eyes, and always felt that there was a hint of playfulness and some indescribable emotions in them.

Yuan Shu took a deep breath, and said with a slightly indifferent tone: "Brother, my Jiangdong is far away from here, so I am late, and I hope the generals will forgive me." ”

Yuan Shu didn't dare to be too close to Yuan Shao at this time. was already extremely conspicuous, but if he showed that he was close to Yuan Shu again, there would probably be more people who were afraid of him.

What's more, since Luoyang was goodbye, Yuan Shu only had the relationship of an opponent for his brother.

Cao Cao, who was standing beside Yuan Shao, saw this scene, and hurriedly walked up with a smile, patted Yuan Shu's shoulder and said, "Jiangdong is the farthest away from here, and it is normal for the highway to come late, so sit down quickly." ”

So Yuan Shu sat in the lower right corner of Yuan Shao and faced Cao Cao.

After the other princes were also seated, Yuan Shao began to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, Shao is very grateful to all the generals for coming to the alliance and joining the great righteousness. ”

And all the princes below also answered the peace.

"That's right, how can there be so many heroes and heroes in this world!"

"I'm waiting for 500,000 troops here, isn't it easy to break through Luoyang and take Dong Zhuo's head?"

Yuan Shu just looked at it coldly, and he was not as arrogant as these goods. Most of the princes who were attached to these people were mediocre talents, and they couldn't see the situation clearly at all.

Yuan Shao and these princes casually said a few words, strengthened their momentum, and began to get to the point.

Cao Cao took the lead in standing up: "Everyone, listen to Cao's words." We and the princes of the Sixteenth Route gather to discuss Dong, and we must first set up a highly respected person as the leader of the alliance, and the unified order can be sent to the army to suppress the thieves. ”

All the princes also nodded yes.

After Cao Cao looked around at the princes around him, he hugged his fists in the face of Yuan Shao and said: "Yuan Benchu is the fourth and third dukes, his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and the voice of virtue is all over the world, so he is the choice of the alliance leader." Therefore, I proposed that I take my first brother as the leader of the alliance and lead us to fight against the thief together. ”

Cao Cao, as the initiator of the alliance, has spoken, and Yuan Shao has already sat on top of you, coupled with Yuan Shao's own strength, everyone knows what this is. All the princes nodded in agreement.

Then Yuan Shao pretended to resign, and all the princes also understood and advised again, and Yuan Shao accepted the position of leader of the alliance half-way.

Yuan Shu looked at all this coldly on the side, his face was ugly, but he thought with interest in his heart: In history, Tao Qian and Liu Bei's three envoys Xuzhou are probably the same.

You and I have let this set be played rotten since ancient times, but it does work. On the one hand, it shows Yuan Shao's humility, and on the other hand, it shows the general knowledge of the princes.

After Yuan Shao took over the position of alliance leader, he turned around and saw Yuan Shutieqing's face, and his heart moved: "Everyone, the virtuous do not avoid relatives, we are waiting for Dong, and someone needs to be in charge of logistics, why don't you let the highway take on this position?" ”

The faces of the princes in the audience instantly turned ugly, who wants to hand over their food, grass and ordnance to outsiders? However, after all, this was Yuan Shao's first decree to become the leader of the alliance, and when he heard Yuan Shao's affirmative tone, the princes had no choice but to grit their teeth and nod in agreement.

And Yuan Shu seemed to have an expression on his face that turned cloudy in an instant, but in his heart he was secretly scolding Yuan Shao for being really treacherous, and he did not relax the opportunity to strike at potential enemies at all.

On the surface, it seems that the supervisor of logistics is a beautiful difference, but in fact, Yuan Shu has to offend people no matter how he does it, and he belongs to the unlucky job that he should do well, and he does not do it well and attracts hatred.

But Yuan Shaoming was out of public intentions on his face, and he was even more kind to Yuan Shu, this hand was really good, and Yuan Shu had to take this drudgery with a smile.

But fortunately, this is not to be expected. Originally, Yuan Shu didn't want to really fight, and it was good to take care of logistics, just wait until Hua Xiong or Lu Bu came out to brush up some prestige.
