Chapter 59: Who is the leader of the alliance?
"Merit is meritorious, merit is judged! This is the eternal **, we act according to the law of our ancestors, and we will be invincible! "Beihai Taishou Kong Rong is a staunch supporter of the traditional system, just as in his heart the Han dynasty should last forever, if even these are shaken, then it will be the end of the world.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves! Kong Rong's proposal immediately caused a great reaction among the princes, everyone continued to cut meat and drink, and began to look at each other frequently, as for secretly gesticulating, touching people with their toes The small action is even more constant, at least Xiao Yi saw several princes, because of excessive distraction, they almost cut off their fingers when cutting meat, and it is really difficult for them to use human body language so richly, Xiao Yi even thought, if these people are born in the twenty-first century, They are definitely excellent teachers in first-class deaf and dumb schools, what a great profession!
In the past few years, the Han Dynasty has been relatively stable internally, except for the suppression of some scattered yellow turban thieves in various states and counties, where are the military exploits, if you really want to talk about war exploits? Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Zhang Yang, the assassin of Bingzhou.
In the battle of Yanmen Pass, he beheaded the Xiongnu army of 20,000, and shot Shan Yu-Yufuluo, which greatly increased the prestige of the Han Dynasty.
With such outstanding military exploits, coupled with the title of the assassin of the state, and the hard power of the 30,000 army, if Zhang Yang really has the heart to be the leader of this alliance, he will be a popular candidate!
"In this way, if you talk about military merits, the great position of the alliance leader is none other than Zhang Gong!" Immediately some of the princes made a proposal, and it is difficult to say whether the intentions were good or bad, for everyone knows that the first stone thrown out is often used to ask for directions.
"O Alliance Leader! The first person in the world! These words are like thunder to move Zhang Yang's heart, as a professional bureaucrat, isn't his life just a promotion to make a fortune, now the throne is in front of him, as long as he takes a slight step, then, then ......, but the problem is, don't dare to step!
As soon as the heat in his heart rose, Zhang Yang himself used cold water to extinguish it, the lord of the princes, this position is certainly infinitely beautiful, but it is also full of murderous opportunities, once you sit on it, you must carry the banner of 'begging Dong', when the time comes, others still have a way to retreat, and as the leader of the alliance, either the future is immeasurable, or there is no place to die!
Can you afford such a heavy responsibility?
Will these unruly princes obey their commands?
The most important thing is that he can deal with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Horse with his own ability?
Three questions in a row, directly knocked Zhang Yang into the sky, wanted to get on the top, but worried that he didn't have that ability, wanted to give up, and was really reluctant in his heart, it was really difficult to choose!
What should I do if I have a problem? Helpless, even though there were 10,000 reluctances in his heart, Zhang Yang still twisted his neck and looked at Xiao Yi, who was munching on the roast leg of lamb on the side, "If you have any questions, look for Xiao Lang", this is already Zhang Yang's habit, even if he is afraid of Xiao Yi, but I have to admit that this demonic young man has an accurate vision in the analysis of major events in the world, and he is unsurpassed!
Xiao Yi, who was immersed in eating meat, immediately felt Zhang Yang's warm and expectant gaze, originally he just wanted to eat meat and drink wine well today, without saying a word, but now it seems that it is not, there is a kind of person like this, even if you are low-key, you will still become the focus of attention.
I had no intention of being rich, but wealth forced people to come! This is the self-deprecation of those who have gone against the sky.
I had no intention of causing trouble, but right and wrong came forward! This is our poor Siu Yat Shoes!
There was a strange scene in the big tent, everyone stared at Zhang Yang, wanting to see what his reaction was, but Zhang Yang stared at Xiao Yi, waiting for an answer; In desperation, in order not to draw everyone's attention to himself, Xiao Yi had to wave the meat cleaver in his hand, just like chasing flies, the sky can see pity, this is early spring February, how can there be flies to chase!
On the other side, he let out a sigh of relief, but a big stone in Zhang Yang's heart fell to the ground, only to see him stand up very humbly, first hugged his fists and saluted, and then said in a tired tone, "Thank you for your mistaken love, but this official is fifty and two this year, and he is old and old, and he has no virtue at all, how can he dare to undertake the great task of 'Kuang Fu Han Room', Zhu Gong still recommends a young and strong person to be the leader of the coalition army, and the old man can assist one or two on the side, enough, enough!" ”
If you can't do it, let it go! Zhang Yang also thought about it, and immediately pushed him out under the pretext of his fifty-two-year-old 'advanced age', which not only got rid of trouble, but also mixed up with the reputation of 'humility'!
"Zhang Gong is high and bright, I am deeply admired, come to everyone to toast Zhang Gong, he is really a minister of the Han Dynasty!" Some people who were interested in competing for the position of alliance leader suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and they raised their glasses to celebrate, and all kinds of big hats that didn't want money flew all over the sky......
Zhang Yang withdrew, and the article on merit was not established, so it was time to fight for the title and family history!
At this time, if there is anyone who is the happiest among the princes, it is Yuan Shu, because fighting for family background, that is his strength!
In today's Han world, which scholar clan has the most prominent status? Naturally, it is the Yuan family of the 'Four Worlds and Three Princes', so who has the highest status among the Yuan family? Naturally, it is Yuan Shu, who is the son-in-law, and so on, who else is more qualified to hold the position of the leader of the alliance besides him Yuan Shu?
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu's heart was simply happy, and in a trance he saw himself sitting on the throne of the lord of the princes, commanding thousands of troops and horses, attacking Luoyang, destroying Dong thieves, sweeping the world, and then ......, all the people returned to their hearts, the world supported them, and went to the next level...... Hehe!
Suppressing the joy in his heart, although Yuan Shu felt that the position of the leader of the alliance was nine out of ten, but now he still needed someone to come out and shout for himself, just like persuading the emperor to ascend the throne.
"But who can push this one for himself? This person's status can't be too low, and his reputation can't be too small......" Yuan Shu's eyes kept flashing among the princes, and he began to look for that suitable candidate, and soon, a person fell into his eyes--Sun Jian, Sun Wentai!
Sun Jian is Changsha Taishou, Yuan Shu is Nanyang Taishou, the two live next to each other, known as friendship, and Nanyang is a rich land, rich in money and food, and Changsha because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago, the people's livelihood is tired, this time the princes raised troops, Yuan Shu gave Sun Jian a lot of help in material, money and food, armor, blades, everything, as the so-called short hands of people, Sun Jian owes Yuan Shu a big favor, so it is reasonable, at this time he should also support Yuan Shu!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu began to make frequent glances and gestures, suggesting that Sun Jian immediately stood up and elected himself as the leader of the alliance, but unfortunately, when Yuan Shu's eyes were sour, Sun Jian was still sitting there drinking wine and eating barbecue, and there was no reaction at all, as for the reason - political dullness!
Sun Jian, a good martial artist since he was a child, skilled in bows and horses, brave and brave, and often takes the lead in battles, not afraid of death, it can be said that he is a perfect soldier, such a person is absolutely invincible on the battlefield, but it is a pity that this alliance of princes is not only a military battle, but also a political battle, and Sun Jian is a complete retarded in politics, a soldier who does not care about politics is a good soldier, but not a good leader, let alone a good partner!
"Listen to me, now the princes are united to discuss Dong, the position of the leader of this alliance is a matter of success or failure, and no one who is good at writing and martial arts can hold it!" Just when the princes were in frequent contact in private, Cao Cao suddenly stood up with his wine glass, which immediately startled everyone, especially some guys who were ambitious for the position of alliance leader, and they were even more nervous.
Since ancient times, the princes will be in the alliance, and there is a rule, that is, the 'host' is often the best choice for the alliance leader, because only the alliance leader has the qualification and prestige, and summons the princes of the world to their own territory to meet the alliance, and now the first to play the banner of Dong is Cao Cao, and Chen Liujun is Cao Cao's base, and so on, Cao Cao is indeed qualified to be the leader of this alliance.
What's more, when it comes to Wen Taowu's strategy and the ability to lead the army to fight, Cao Cao is undoubtedly the strongest among the princes, at this point, he is proud of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers, not to mention it, and he has to admit in his heart that he is far inferior to Cao Cao, if Cao Cao really intends to earn a position for himself, the chance of success is absolutely very large.
"If you want to achieve great things, you must be justified, and now when it comes to fame and prestige, the Yuan family's 'four generations and three dukes', protégés and former officials are all over the world, and they should be the head of the world's gate valves!" As Cao Cao spoke, he secretly kept in mind the ugliness of the princes from all walks of life, but he threw himself out in his words, and instead single-mindedly promoted the Yuan family.
Cao Cao knew very well in his heart that it was more than enough to be the leader of this alliance with his own ability, but unfortunately, his background was not good and his prestige was insufficient!
What kind of person is he Cao Cao, after being castrated, his father Cao Song is the adopted son of the eunuch, and the wind stinks for eight hundred miles, even if he forcibly ascends to the position of the leader of the alliance, no one will be really convinced, at least the brothers of the Yuan family will definitely be demolished behind their backs, and the alliance will inevitably fall apart at that time, which is by no means what Cao Cao wants, since he can't sit down, then simply be noble and take the initiative to give the position of the leader of the alliance to the Yuan family, but it is not for nothing, Cao Cao also has his own plans.
Knowing that it is impossible to do it, then simply retreat to advance and try to get the greatest benefit for yourself, this is to play the political card, on this, Cao Cao is undoubtedly a top master.
"The fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family, the prestige is unparalleled, but the position of the leader of this alliance belongs to the Yuan family!" As soon as Cao Cao's proposal came out, the princes immediately discussed, and it was one-sided support, the Yuan family is the head of the gate valve, this appeal is indeed incomparable to anyone, no family, even among the princes attending the meeting, several of them are from the Yuan family, who else can they support if they don't support the Yuan family?
However, support is support, but there is more than one candidate for the Yuan family, don't forget, the Yuan family has two brothers, who does it support to sit in the position of the leader of the alliance?
As candidates, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers glanced at each other, and they all showed strong hostility, in front of power, what kind of brothers, the two who were already incompatible were eager to cut each other at this time, let you rob me!
Yuan Shu is now excited and wants to hug Cao Cao and kiss the two, the Yuan family, who else can there be, of course, it is his son, since ancient times, there is a difference, whether it is the succession to the throne or the division of the clan, the heir is always higher than the concubine, is it possible to let the guy born by the little wife be the leader of this alliance?
"Is he worthy? The seed of a minion only! The little wife ......, no, it's a maid...... Born ......" glanced at his brother Yuan Shao not far away, Yuan Shu was very proud in his heart, if he had a tail, he would definitely shake it vigorously at this time, and a big sign would be hung on it - Yuan Family!
After dusting off the armor on his body, Yuan Shu sat upright, waiting for Cao Cao to say his name, and then ascended to the throne of the alliance leader in the limelight, showing the demeanor of the Yuan family's son-in-law. …… Yuan Shu drooled and fell into boundless obscenity.
On the other side, Cao Cao's speech continued, "I have been friends with my first brother since I was a child, and I know that he is both civil and military, and he has a strategy, and he spoke out against Dong Zhuo when he was in Luoyang, which shows that he is loyal to the country, so I think that the big position of the leader of this alliance is none other than Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu!" ”
"Wow! …… Meng Degao saw that Yuan Benchu could not be the leader of the alliance! All the princes bowed their heads and said yes, they still knew Yuan Shao's skills, and they could be regarded as talented.
"Thank you for your kindness, in this way, it is the first time to do it!" Yuan Shao, who had long been unable to hold back, had no modesty at all, and immediately put the laurel crown of the alliance leader on his head, creating an established fact, so that it was too late for some people to speak out against it, such as his straw bale brother!
"I'm waiting to pay homage to the alliance leader!" The big position has been decided, Jizhou Assassin Shi Han Fu, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi and several other Yuan Shao's henchmen and friends immediately rushed up and began to pay homage, and completely settled this matter, and the rest of the people also stepped forward to salute when they saw this, which was regarded as officially recognizing the status of Yuan Shao's alliance leader, and there was no change!
The peak turned around, and seeing that it was Yuan Shao who ascended to the position of the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shu on the side almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood angrily, it was really bloody, his body hurt, and his heart was also hurt; How so? It shouldn't be like this......
The more Yuan Shu thought about it, the more angry he became, but now, he was no longer powerless, under the pressure of everyone's eyes, he could only step forward, unwillingly, reluctantly arched his hand to Yuan Shao, and reluctantly bowed, but he hated the two of them in his heart, one was Cao Cao, and the other was Sun Jian!
If you don't take revenge, you won't be a man!
