0406: Night talk
Night.
"Yuan Cheqi, I don't know what the important thing is to find this envoy at this time?" Liu Dai walked into Yuan Shao's tent and asked respectfully. Liu Dai's tone was full of a sense of estrangement, but it was also normal, after all, he was different from Yuan Yi and other people who were attached to Yuan Shao, although he also echoed Yuan Shao, but he was just afraid of Yuan's power. After all, just because he killed Qiao Mao, Yuan Shao would have a reason to trouble him.
"Hehe, Gongshan doesn't have to be so rusty, sit~" Yuan Shao waved his hand. When Liu Dai sat down, Yuan Shao greeted him politely, and Liu Dai also kept complimenting Yuan Shao.
After a long while, Yuan Shaocai asked casually, "Gongshan, I heard that you have a daughter, who is beautiful and knowledgeable, but is still waiting for the boudoir?" β
"It's okay for the alliance leader to be outspoken." Liu Dai groaned when he heard this.
"Haha, then I'll be blunt, I have a son named Tan, who is 17 years old this year. Although we are not yet old enough to perform the crown ceremony, if Gongshan agrees, we can settle this family business first. Yuan Shao laughed when he heard this.
"This ......" Liu Dai looked at Yuan Shao with some confusion when he heard this, as if he didn't understand what Yuan Shao meant.
Seeing this, Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Gongshan, although there was something wrong with the bridge before that, you killed him without permission, and even took away his troops......"
Hearing Yuan Shao's words, where did Liu Dai not know what Yuan Shao meant? "What does the Alliance Master mean?" Liu Dai's tone was a little low.
"The troops, naturally, are still Gongshan, but for the post of county guard in Dongjun, I hope to be able to recommend Meng De to take the position." Yuan Shao looked at Liu Dai and said his purpose.
"This ...... OK! Liu Dai didn't think about it for long before agreeing. As I said just now, among the coalition forces now, Yuan Shao's power is too large, and he really wants to trouble Liu Dai, but it is not without reason.
"In addition, I also agreed to the marriage. I also hope that the alliance leader will be able to take care of ...... more in the future," Liu Dai said, and stood up directly and walked out.
After Liu Dai left, Yuan Shao sent someone to invite Cao Cao over and told him about the matter.
"Hehe, the county guard of the East Gun?" Cao Cao chuckled casually, and at the same time picked up the wine that had been prepared on the table and poured himself a drink.
"Meng De, I know that you are a little dissatisfied with the coalition forces not continuing to advance westward, but you have to admit that it is impossible for the current coalition forces to work together to deal with Dong Zhuo!" Yuan Shao said with some distress, "Yes, Boye and Gongjie both have the saddle on my horse's head, and Gongshan also obeys my orders, but is that because I am the leader of the alliance or I am a child of the Yuan family?" No! It's because I don't mean to fight! β
Yuan Shao said, stood up and walked to the opposite side of Cao Cao and sat down, grabbed the wine jug and poured wine into his cup, drank it all in one gulp, and said helplessly again, "You also know that the highway is not in line with me, if I also fight, won't I push them to the side of the highway?" β
After speaking, seeing Cao Cao trying to say something, Yuan Shao quickly interrupted him, "I know, even if you push it to the side of the road, as long as you can defeat Dong Zhuo Kuang and help the Han Chamber, right?" But Meng De, have you ever thought about whether this thing is really possible?! β
"Impossible!" Yuan Shao said angrily, "Although we have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, what can we do? That Li Wushuang has been running and merging the state for so many years, and he has almost exhausted his savings in just over half a year. I've heard that he has even sent people south to plunder grain and grass. β
Well, I have to say that Yuan Shao's intelligence is really good, of course, this is also because Li Yi didn't intend to hide it from anyone.
"The original ......" Cao Cao wanted to say something when he heard this, but was interrupted by Yuan Shao again. It seems that he seems to be living a very aggrieved life these days?
"Mengde, you should know that I can gather so many troops now, but I rely on Zhang Yan and Han Fu of Montenegro to supply grain and grass, but what about you? It is also the grain and grass supplied by Chen Guo and Liu Pet. It can be said that whether our troops can support it or not depends on them! But can they supply us for half a year, and can they still supply us all the way to Chang'an? Yuan Shao shook his head and sighed.
"But what about the imperial court?! What about the Holy One?! Cao Cao asked in a hurried tone.
Hearing this, Yuan Shao shook his head and did not speak, but poured a full wine glass and drank it all. Then he looked at Cao Cao and sighed, "Meng De, if there are thirteen states today, Liu Yan leads Yizhou, Liu Biao leads Jingzhou, Liu Bei leads Qingzhou, and Liu Yu leads Youzhou, except for Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and Liu Chong, the king of Chen, who either sent troops or food under persuasion, the rest of the people refused to crusade against Dong Thief on the grounds that the royal family was not suitable to come forward. β
Speaking of this, Yuan Shao paused, then shook his head a little helplessly and sighed, "Originally, I thought that we would be enough to deal with Dong Zhuo, but now that I think about it, it seems a little naΓ―ve." β
"What did you say at the beginning......" Cao Cao squinted at Yuan Shao and asked in a low tone. For some reason, he always had a bad premonition.
"My idea is simple!" Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao, his eyes were blazing, and his tone was extremely firm, "Since the Liu clan relatives don't come forward, then force them to come forward!" Therefore, I plan to honor Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as the emperor! Let him lead the Kanto heroes to fight against Dong Thief! β
"Are you crazy?!" When Cao Cao heard this, he stood up suddenly, and looked at Yuan Shao in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that these words could come out of the mouth of his best friend.
"I'm not crazy!" Yuan Shao also stood up, looked directly at Cao Cao and said without giving an inch, "In the past, Emperor Huan died of illness, because he had no children, the court ministers had to look for a successor among the successors, and at that time, Liu Youzhou had already appeared as a candidate among the emperor's candidates. β
"Now that the Dong thief has controlled the saint and the hundred officials, and we are powerless to fight, if we don't want to take other countermeasures, can we really sit back and watch the Dong thief continue to cause trouble in the world?!" Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao and said in a deep voice.
"Nonsense! If you take Liu Youzhou as the emperor, then it is very likely that someone will serve Liu Yizhou, Liu Qingzhou, and Liu Jingzhou as the emperor, and there will even be more princes surnamed Liu who will claim the emperor themselves! At that time, the whole Han will be finished! Haven't you thought about it?! Cao Cao scolded angrily, and his face turned red from anger.
"Meng De is too worried, I serve Liu Youzhou, because when he took office in the early years, he had already won the hearts of the people with his virtuous government and love for the people, and after serving as the pastor of Youzhou, he even quelled the rebellion of Wu Huan, Zhang Ju and others! In terms of merit and reputation, which of those descendants of the Liu family in the world can compare to him? Yuan Shao ignored Cao Cao's anger and continued to persuade.
