Chapter 11 Yuan Shao ascends to the throne
After a long time, the yellow-robed man opposite Cao Cao raised his wine glass and raised his glass to everyone, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
"Now that everyone has arrived, come, starting from the beginning, I will first salute all the princes, and then do it first." After speaking, the yellow-robed man took the wine glass and drank it all.
Seeing this, the princes of all parties withdrew their gazes at Cao Cao and Mo Shuyan, raised their glasses one after another, saluted each other, and drank them all with their heads up.
Mo Shuyan's matter was covered up like this, and no one continued to care about Mo Shuyan's existence or not.
At this time, Mo Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his tense body and mind also relaxed, and the whole person seemed to be soaked out of the water.
Suddenly, Mo Shuyan looked at the yellow-robed man's eyes and was much more pleasing to the eye, Yuan Benchu, Yuan Shao, thanks to you for helping me out of the siege, although maybe it was because Yuan Shao didn't care about the shrimp soldiers and crab generals at all, but Mo Shuyan was still quite grateful, otherwise it would really be difficult to step down.
Thinking of this, Mo Shuyan muttered in his heart and looked at Cao Cao, who was as steady as Mount Tai beside him, and didn't understand why Cao Cao wanted to put himself in such a situation, this matter can be big or small, and it is not impossible to lose his life.
Cao Cao seemed to be covered with a veil in Mo Shuyan's eyes, and he couldn't see it clearly, Mo Shuyan laughed at himself in his heart, he naively thought that he had completely controlled Cao Cao, but he didn't know that he underestimated the heroes of the world.
Yuan Shao, who put down the wine glass, quietly rolled his eyes a few times, and said as if he had no intention: "Now that we are gathered here to form an alliance because of the crusade against Dong thieves, we must elect an alliance leader, and we can only succeed if we listen to it together, I don't know if General Cao can be selected?" ”
Hearing this, Mo Shuyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Yuan Shao solemnly, thinking that he would bring up this matter after three rounds of drinking, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to be impatient at all, and he mentioned it at the beginning, and his intentions were clearly revealed.
Looking around, sure enough, the princes of all parties couldn't see any emotion on their faces, but their eyes looked straight at Cao Cao's body, and the princes present all understood that the battle between the alliance leader was nothing more than the dispute between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
In front of everyone's eyes, Cao Cao was the slightest eager, and with a calm expression, he reached out and picked up the wine jug, poured himself full of wine, slowly picked it up, and drank it all again.
"Good wine." With a chuckle, Cao Cao turned sideways, raised his hand and patted Mo Shuyan's left shoulder, "Sir, please inform the princes of your opinion, Sir's meaning, both for me." ”
Mo Shuyan's eyes suddenly widened, his body instantly stiffened, and he looked at Cao Cao beside him in shock, as if he wanted to find out the answer from Cao Cao's smiling face, why did Cao Cao repeatedly pit himself today, what did he do wrong?
The depressed Mo Shuyan didn't have much time to think about it at this time, and the eyes of the princes had already shifted to Mo Shuyan from Cao Cao's words.
In desperation, Mo Shuyan, who had no preparation, could only stand up with his hair stiff, looked at the princes of all parties with a smile on his face, took a deep breath, relieved the feeling of tension, and was about to speak, when a sarcastic voice sounded on Yuan Shao's left.
"General Cao, if you plan to recommend yourself, you can say it bluntly, why bring a scribe to tell everyone that you want to recommend yourself as the leader of the alliance? I am afraid that it will cause the princes of all parties to laugh, and I hope that General Cao will forgive the highway and be straightforward. ”
Hearing this, Mo Shuyan almost wanted to scold, dare to love me and Cao Cao are acting? I also want to ask why Cao Cao arranged it this way.
Mo Shuyan, who was quite annoyed, just wanted to reply, but suddenly woke up, highway? It turned out to be Yuan Shu, no wonder he wanted to help Yuan Shao, so it seemed justified, Mo Shuyan felt a lot better, and just wanted to wait for Cao Cao to answer, but unexpectedly, Cao Cao's unwavering voice sounded next to him again.
"Sir, please don't be disturbed by the highway."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Mo Shuyan glanced at Cao Cao with a strange expression, dare you don't have to worry about what the two brothers of the Yuan family do to you, you really don't care.
However, since Cao Cao has opened his mouth to support him, Mo Shuyan is not a timid person, his eyes are slightly overlooked, and he said with a smile on his eyebrows: "The position of the leader of the alliance is related to the victory of the crusade, and the leader with both prestige and talent must be elected. ”
After a pause, Mo Shuyan looked around, and saw that the princes nodded slightly when they heard the words, the corners of their mouths raised slightly, and their expressions were quite wonderful, and they continued: "Yuan Benchu, the fourth and third dukes, has a lot of history, and is the descendant of the famous ministers of the Han Dynasty. ”
After finishing speaking, Mo Shuyan knelt down and turned back calmly, indifferent, no longer caring about these things, thinking about the bits and pieces of the past few days, where Cao Cao did not like it, Mo Shuyan didn't want to be killed by Cao Cao silently one day.
After listening to Mo Shuyan's words, all the princes were speechless, and they all looked at Cao Cao with strange expressions, not knowing what medicine Cao Cao sold in his gourd, and the scribe he brought recommended was not Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao.
The princes with ghosts were silent for a moment, and even Yuan Shao stared at Cao Cao in surprise, unable to believe that Cao Cao had no quarrel at all, and gave up the position of the leader of the alliance.
However, Yuan Shao would not give up the position of the leader of the alliance to the door, and then Yuan Shao put his hand on the case, his face was terrified, he sighed heavily, and looked at the princes with gloomy eyes.
"How could He De dare to be the leader of this alliance, I hope you will think twice, and I am willing to recommend Meng De to serve as this position."
The sincerity of his demeanor made Mo Shuyan on the other side come back to his senses, and he almost couldn't help laughing, he could really pretend to be able to pretend, but he was terrified and refused to accept it.
Faced with this scene, Gongsun Zhan, who was sitting at the end, suddenly spoke: "Ben Chu served as the leader of the alliance, Bo Gui thinks it is very suitable, I hope Ben Chu will not postpone." ”
"The elder brother is in charge of this task, and the younger brother also thinks it is very suitable, and I hope that the elder brother will not meet the expectations of the princes." Yuan Shu answered.
When Mo Shuyan heard this, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, a good Yuan Shu, a few words will represent the opinions of all the princes, I am afraid that the rest of the princes can only go down the slope.
Sure enough, after Yuan Shu finished speaking, the rest of the princes said how Yuan Shao was suitable for this position, and they boasted more than once, which made Mo Shuyan feel a little speechless.
Affirmed by all the princes, Yuan Shao was relieved, poured a glass of wine, stood up, walked to the middle of the mansion, straightened his body, and said in a rather heavy tone: "Thanks to the love of the princes of all parties, it is difficult to resist the enthusiasm, I will serve as the leader of the alliance at the beginning, and then I will abdicate and let go of the virtuous, and hold a sacrificial ceremony tomorrow, I hope that the princes of all parties will arrive on time, and thank the princes again for their promotion, and I will pay tribute to the first one." ”
Yuan Shao drank it all, and all the princes also raised their glasses to drink, and the lively banquet began from here, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, smiling happily.
