Chapter 217: To Each His Own Purpose
"Awesome! It's amazing!! At this time, Liu Bei, who was at the tail seat, had a fine light in his eyes, and he felt goosebumps all over his body, but his hands were tightly pulled this time because of excitement.
"It's terrible Yuan Benchu, he clearly plotted to be the leader of this alliance, after all, once he became the leader of this alliance, he would not only be able to make a great reputation, and truly become the head of the princes in the world, attracting talents from all over the world to vote, and in the future, in the great cause of cutting Dong, he will be able to grasp the initiative everywhere! After all, none of these princes who shouted to kill traitors and support the Han family came for loyalty! Thinking of this, Liu Bei's eyes showed a bit of fierceness, looked around at everyone, and thought in his mind: "Hmph, the lord behind these people, I'm afraid they are all thinking of taking advantage of this to plunder my Han country, and in the future, they will support the army as the king and dominate one side, and even some people even want to overthrow my Han family and dominate the world!" And here, in terms of prestige, Beijing, and power, in addition to those few thorn histories, I am afraid that a Yuan brother who is in Hebei is in the sky, and a Yuan brother who dominates Jiangnan is boiling for it.
In this way, the only person who can compete with Yuan Benchu for the position of the leader of the alliance is probably his brother Yuan Highway. Although it has long been rumored that the two are at odds, now that it is related to the great cause of the Yuan family, the ambitious brothers have also put aside their prejudices. I'm afraid that as early as the beginning, Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway decided this chess game, and each became the leader of the Northern and Southern Alliances! Moreover, in order not to let those assassins compete for it, Yuan Benchu may have already bought the cunning Liu Dai with a lot of money or huge grain, Liu Dai only attaches importance to small profits and has no foresight. After all, as the leader of this coalition, he naturally has to take himself as a standard, and he has to pay more than others in terms of troops, food, and armaments, and once the coalition collapses, this alliance leader will definitely be hated by Dong Zhuo the most! After weighing all kinds of things, he chose to accept the benefits given by Yuan Benchu, and was willing to take a back seat, I'm afraid he was secretly happy at this time!
And Yuan Benchu had Liu Dai's help, and Liu Dai shirked it with the excuse that he had no ambitions in the past, and helped Yuan Benchu to help, so that other twilight assassins were embarrassed to compete for this position with young people. Moreover, Han Fu is good but not rigid, and the world knows it, so in this way, he Yuan Ben naturally sat in the position of the leader of the Northern Alliance!
This is a conspiracy, such a profound conspiracy!! I, Liu Xuande, have no wealth and no power, although I am a relative of the Han family, but because of my family's downfall, I have always been thought to be a swagger and deception, compared with the masters behind these people, I am so small and despicable! But that's why it's interesting!? ”
Thinking of the end, Liu Bei actually grinned, and a pair of eyes seemed to turn into two flames, glowing! At this time, as Liu Bei expected, Yan Xiang and Wang Pu were secretly looking at Chen Lin, and it seemed that they had already had a secret discussion.
said that it was slow, but Liu Bei's thoughts were only for a moment. However, as soon as Xun Chen's voice fell, one person saw the depth of it better than Liu Bei, and was the first to stand up to win the favor of Yuan Shao's faction.
"Unexpectedly, Liu Yanzhou and Han Jizhou are unwilling to be the leaders of the Northern Alliance, so Ah Pu thinks that Bohai Yuan is originally loyal and courageous, and he has confronted Dong Zhuo several times in the past, and now he has made a comeback in Hebei, with fierce generals under his command and a group of wise men, and when he was in Luoyang in the past, he was already the head of the young and handsome people in the world, and the leader of the Northern Alliance should be the most suitable person. I don't know what the princes are? Cao Cao smiled brightly and said leisurely. Zhang Miao, who was in the hall, listened to it and seemed to agree very much, and immediately responded. Naturally, Wang Pu also seconded the proposal. Immediately, Kong Rong's faction, Wang Kuang's faction, Bao Xin's faction, and Qiao Mao's faction, which were assigned to the Northern Alliance, seconded the proposal. Liu Bei sighed secretly when he saw this, and then immediately seconded the proposal. There are also many people who show disdain because they see him as an unknown junior so slack.
In this way, only the Ma Xi faction in the 12th Army of the Northern Alliance did not vote. So everyone's eyes were once again focused on Hu Che'er. At this time, Hu Che'er had already entered the seat on the right, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he grinned and said: "My lord said that he is definitely not qualified to be the leader of this alliance, and the big guy will not be willing, so it depends on how everyone chooses, who is chosen by many people, obey everyone's opinions, and will not offend people!" ”
"Humph! Vulgar! ”
"Sure enough, it's someone from outside!"
"It's hard to get into the elegance of the lobby, it's hard to get into the elegance of the lobby! How could I be in the same room with such a person, and it would become a joke for others to spread it! ”
As soon as Hu Che'er said this, many people secretly scolded in their hearts. Hu Che'er, who was smiling brightly, showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth, as if he didn't know that those people were scolding him.
"Good! Unexpectedly, everyone in the Northern Alliance felt that it was appropriate for Yuan Benchu to come to this alliance, and asked Kong Zhang to go back and discuss with Benchu about everyone's righteous recommendation. Cao Cao arched his hand and said to Chen Lin with a smile. Chen Lin's face was solemn, and he returned the salute, but he said unhurriedly: "It's good to let the princes of the Northern Alliance know about this matter before making a decision." But if all the princes of the Northern Alliance are willing to recommend, for the sake of the common people and the Han family, Lin is willing to make unremitting efforts to persuade my master to be the leader of the Northern Alliance! ”
As soon as Chen Lin said this, he didn't know how many people secretly scolded him for hypocrisy. But now, the whole hall resounded one after another of praise. However, Hu Che'er seemed to be outside, still digging his ears, which caused a burst of contempt.
The leader of the Northern Alliance has been temporarily decided, but Yan Xiang saw that the task that his master had ordered him to give him had not been completed for a long time, but he also seemed a little anxious, and he turned to Chen Lin in a hurry, and hurriedly asked: "It turns out that the leader of the Northern Alliance has a candidate for the time being, but the leader of the Southern Alliance cannot be left empty." How about Kong Zhang's recommendation of one? ”
As soon as Yan Xiang said this, many people in the Yugoslav Federation came to their senses. Among them, Huang Gai, who was under Sun Jian's command, immediately snorted heavily, expressing his dissatisfaction. It's just that Chen Lin immediately said something that made Yan Xiang's face change greatly.
"If Lin came to recommend, Lin thought that Xuzhou Tao Gong, diligent and loving the people, known as benevolence and righteousness, could be the head of the Yugoslav Federation!"
Just when everyone thought that Chen Lin would recommend Yuan Shu, there was a twist and turn. Everyone suddenly couldn't help but look at Tao Qian's command, Xuzhou celebrity Chen Jue, but saw that Chen Jue was drowsy, suddenly seemed to find everyone looking at him, suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly got up and confessed, and then said unhurriedly: "My lord is almost sixty years old, crusade against Dong thief, it is inevitable to attack the city and break the village, I think this alliance leader still needs a bloody hero to be, you should choose someone else." ”
Chen Qi said this, but his eyes looked at Huang Gai. But I saw that Huang Gai, who looked like a tiger's back and a bear's waist, was eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a resolute face, tall and mighty, and at first glance he knew that he was a tough guy among tough guys!
"Gai thinks that Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling is in the prime of life, and he is a famous family, and his prestige is no worse than that of the masters here, and even a few points higher, it is just right to be the leader of the Yugoslav Federation!!" Huang Gai's voice was loud, and as soon as he shouted, the entire hall seemed to be shaking. looked at Hu Che'er on the seat, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a good man!" ”
However, many people don't think so, and now they are secretly laughing at Huang Gai for being a reckless man, which offends Yuan Shu, who dominates Nanyang, Runan and other places, and I am afraid that he will not be able to eat in his pocket in the future.
Sure enough, Yan Xiang's face suddenly darkened, and when he looked at Huang Gai's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little more resentful.
At this time, Chen Yang, under the command of Yuan Yi, got up hurriedly and said: "Kong Yuzhou has been sick in recent years, and he has only recovered from a serious illness soon, and he is afraid that the leader of this alliance is weak, but if the old disease recurs, and the Yugoslav alliance has no leader, won't the army be in turmoil and chaos!" I think it is most suitable for General Yuan Shu to assume the position of the leader of the Yugoslav Alliance! ”
When Han Wei, a subordinate of Kong Ling, heard this, his face couldn't help but show a little anger, and he immediately retorted sharply. Chen Yang couldn't bear it at all, and the two argued on the spot. All of a sudden, what was supposed to be a solemn palace was noisy again.
"Hmph, the war has not started, but you are already intriguing, no matter how nice the alliance is, it is just a farce, forgive Yan for not accompanying him! Do it yourself! At this time, Yan Xiang suddenly stood up, glared at Chen Lin coldly, and then glanced at Chen Wei and Huang Gai with a cold look, and was about to leave. Seeing this, Zhang Miao, who was in charge of the overall situation, couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly said that the Yugoslav Federation would first decide on the two candidates of Yuan Shu and Kong Ling for the time being, and after everyone went back, they would each report to their own lords and then make a decision. In this way, Yan Xiang's face was a little better.
The matter of the alliance has finally been decided. Zhang Miao was overjoyed, although he set up a banquet to entertain everyone, and invited dancers to help the fun. These people are also veterans of officialdom, and they also look like they are discussing things when they should be deliberating, and they are also open to play when they should play. No, after the dancing girls finished singing and dancing, after three rounds of drinking, many people had hugged the dancing girls who had come to pour wine for them, and laughed with a debauched smile.
At this time, Chen Lin came to Yan Xiang with a black face with a wine glass, and made a gesture, and the dancer who was serving next to him immediately retreated.
"Chen Lin, Chen Lin! I, Yan Xiang, have written down this account! I hope you don't regret it! Yan Xiang snorted coldly and said in a low voice. When Chen Lin heard this, he smiled and said leisurely: "Brother Yan, the so-called tree is a big move. If the Yuan family had snatched the alliance leader of the Northern and Southern Alliances from the beginning, I was afraid that it would attract the voice of others. At that time, I don't know how many people will secretly say that you and I will become the second Dong Zhuo. You don't need to be nervous, my lord sent dozens of beautiful beauties who are good at the art of the Spring Palace to Kong Ling not long ago. This Kong Ling fell ill because of excessive wine, and I am afraid that he will be sick again soon. I'll teach you a plan, and you'll listen to it. ”
When Yan Xiang heard this, his face changed continuously, and he hurriedly brought his ears closer. After Chen Lin muttered in his ear for a while, he immediately refreshed himself and laughed.
On the other hand, the people of various forces did not forget to be busy with the establishment of diplomacy, and some forces that specialize in good horses exchange materials with those forces that are rich in grain. The forces with a certain amount of wealth are hurrying to buy armaments. Some of the eloquent people went to ask for help. There are also some forces that are often invaded by thieves, and they ask for reinforcements from those who are strong.
However, there are three exceptions, because Beiping is remote, except for the abundance of good horses, there is no outstanding. Those people disliked Liu Bei's lowly status and were unwilling to surrender their identity to talk to him.
And those forces that lack food also look down on Hu Che'er, a Hu man, but they don't pay attention to it. Hu Che'er was happy, and then Liu Bei sat over, and the two talked for a while. Hu Che'er found that Liu Bei was eloquent and friendly, but he had a good impression, so he drank with Liu Bei.
The last person is Huang Gai. However, it is said that its master Sun Jian, known as the Jiangdong Tigers, and the troops under his command are all elite troops who are brave and good at fighting. At the beginning, there were many people who wanted to ask Sun Jian to get rid of the thieves who were entrenched around their forces when he went to the Central Plains in the future. And these people think that Huang Gai is just a martial artist, and all the conditions he offers are to take advantage of others. Among them, Han Wei of Shanyang even said a righteous thing, but he didn't even give military rations, so he taught Sun Jian to fight for him. Huang Gai saw that these people were uneasy and kind, so naturally they would not have a good attitude, so he pretended to be a reckless man and scolded those people to throw their sleeves away.
