The princes of the Eighteenth Road praised each other in the big tent, and finally Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang raised his glass and saluted, and said: "Everyone, we are all gathered here to crusade against Dong thieves, but we must form an alliance, and we must have an alliance leader, and now the top priority is to elect an alliance leader." ”

As soon as Wang Kuang's words came out, he was immediately approved by Tao Qian, Kong Rong and others, and at this time, Yuan Shao, who was sitting opposite Yuan Shu, gently moved the wine bottle in his hand and said, "Then Wang Taishou thinks who is the best leader of the alliance?" Or does Wang Taishou want this position as the leader of the alliance? ”

Wang Kuang originally wanted to say Cao Cao's name, but looking at Yuan Shao's uncertain face, he hesitated again, and changed his words: "The leader of the alliance must be a person with both ability and political integrity, I, Wang Kuang, asked myself, I can't compare to you, how can I sit in the position of the leader of this alliance?" ”

Seeing Wang Kuang sit down, Yuan Shao sneered.

However, although Wang Kuang died down, there was another person who stood up after Zhang Miao was still seated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think that Cao Mengde, the captain of Xiaocai, is the initiator of this alliance to discuss Dong, and it is best for him to be the leader of the alliance."

Hearing this person's words, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's eyes both focused on that person, and Yuan Yao was also attracted by that person's words.

Just now, Wang Kuang obviously wanted to recommend someone to serve as the leader of the alliance, but he was forced to sit down by Yuan Shao, which is enough to see that Yuan Shao has a lot of ideas about the position of the leader of the alliance.

Among the princes of the Eighteenth Road today, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brought the most soldiers and horses, each bringing 20,000 troops, and they are the two most powerful parties among the princes of the Eighteenth Road.

And when he saw the appearance of that person, Yuan Yao was relieved.

Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, it turned out to be him.

After seeing that the person who spoke up for Cao Cao was Bao Xin, Yuan Yao withdrew his gaze. It is rumored that Bao Xin and Cao Cao are friends, and now it seems that this is the case.

In Bao Xin's view, Cao Cao is the initiator of this alliance against Dong, and it is justified for him to be the leader of the alliance, and no one can point out any fault.

Although Cao Cao's strength is not the strongest among the princes of the Eighteen Roads, Bao Xin felt that Cao Cao was a good choice to serve as the leader of the alliance, and the relationship between Bao Xin and Cao Cao was good, so after Zhang Miao proposed to elect an alliance leader, Bao Xin decisively stood up to support Cao Cao.

However, although Bao Xin had the intention to push Cao Cao to the throne of the alliance leader, Cao Cao himself was unwilling to sit in that position.

"I am only shallow in my studies, and I dare not be ashamed to be the leader of the alliance, so you should choose another meritorious."

As soon as Bao Xin's words were finished, Cao Cao stood up to show that he had no idea of wanting to sit on the position of the leader of the alliance, when Bao Xin was immediately stunned, and then under Cao Cao's eyes, Bao Xin still pressed the doubts in his heart and sat back in his position.

After Cao Cao expressed his attitude, Yuan Yao noticed that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's frowning brows began to relax. After thinking for a moment in his heart, Yuan Yao already understood.

The strength of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu is the strongest two of the eighteen princes, so the two brothers covet the position of the leader of the alliance, and Cao Cao, as the initiator of this alliance, if he insists on being the master of the alliance, then both Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will feel a headache.

And now Cao Cao took the initiative to withdraw, which made Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's attitude towards Cao Cao much better.

When the two brothers, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, were targeting each other and wanted to win the position of alliance leader, Yuan Yao's attention was more focused on Cao Cao.

Although Yuan Yao's external embodiment is only a thirteen-year-old boy now, Yuan Yao's soul is more than thirteen years old, although Yuan Yao, who has memories of his previous life, always reminds himself in his heart not to look at the world he is in now from the impression of these people in his previous life, but to be honest, this matter is not so easy.

After Cao Cao withdrew from the competition for the position of the leader of the alliance, among the princes of the Eighteen Roads present, only the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were qualified to sit on the position of the leader of the alliance, and now it is these two brothers who are competing for the position of the leader of the alliance.

And in the end, as in Yuan Yao's memory, Yuan Shao finally sat on the throne of the alliance leader, but Yuan Shu did not gain nothing, and was responsible for managing the grain and grass of the coalition army. This position can be said to be a high authority, and it is precisely because of this that Yuan Shucai accepted Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance against Dong's coalition army.

And Yuan Shao assumed the position of the leader of the coalition alliance, and the rest of the dozen or so princes had no opinions. Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were both born in the Yuan family of Runan in the fourth and third dukes, and Yuan Shu is still a concubine, Yuan Shao is just a concubine, but in terms of reputation, Yuan Shu is far inferior to Yuan Shao.

After Yuan Shao sat down on the throne, he looked around at all the princes in the tent, and finally said in a deep voice: "Everyone, since I, Yuan Shao, am now the leader of the alliance, then I hope that you can all obey my orders and act, and you must not do that kind of thing. ”

"That's how it should be!"

As soon as Yuan Shao's voice fell, many princes in the tent responded, including Yuan Shu.

No matter what these princes think in their hearts, but now that Yuan Shao has just taken the position of the leader of the alliance, it is not good for them to openly oppose Yuan Shao, so they will not only offend Yuan Shao, but all the princes.

Yuan Shao expressed his satisfaction with the reaction of these princes, and then Yuan Shao said: "Now that we are waiting for nearly 300,000 troops here, a general should lead the troops first, and attack Bishui Pass first as the vanguard, I don't know which one is willing to take the position of this vanguard?" ”

Yuan Shao's words were settled, and the princes of the Eighteen Roads looked at each other, but none of them immediately stood up, making Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the main seat, look a little ugly.

"Why, what you said about crusading against Dong Zhuo is actually nonsense, isn't there anyone willing to stand up and contribute to the cause of the thief at this critical moment?"

Yuan Shao's eyes were a little unkind at this time, and even his tone was a little stern.

At this time, Yuan Shu's gaze was a playful look, as if he was watching a play, and most of the princes made an irrelevant gesture, so that Liu Bei, who was standing behind Gongsun Zhan, couldn't help but clench his fists, and wanted to stand up several times but didn't make any action.

"It's just a Dong Zhuo, who actually scared you like this, what a group of incompetent people, the alliance leader, the last general is willing to serve as a vanguard to break the enemy."

After seeing the face of the person who stood up, Yuan Shao also smiled and said: "Okay, since Wentai invites Ying, then how can I not allow it, in this way, Wentai, you immediately lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to set off for Bishui Pass first, the highway, and the grain and grass of this vanguard army will be handed over to you to be responsible." ”

"Yes!" Yuan Shu looked at Sun Jian with a rather unkind gaze at this time.
