The council of the coalition army, after Ye Zhao left, was basically in a friendly atmosphere, and finally decided that Yuan Shao would be the leader of the alliance, and then early the next morning, Ye Zhao was also invited to discuss the next matter of the coalition army, and the main alliance must be determined first.

"Ye Hou has made outstanding achievements, he is an important minister of the first emperor, and he is the only three dukes, I want to take Ye Hou as the main ally, I don't know what Ye Hou wants?" Yuan Shao smiled at Ye Zhaodao, changing yesterday's aggressiveness, even the princes in the tent had an expression of approval.

Ye Zhao was a little surprised at first, but when he heard that Yuan Shao asked him to be the main alliance, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "Ben Hou said, I came here only for righteousness, not for fame, this person of the main alliance, let's choose another wise man." ”

This main alliance is similar to the role of modern master of ceremonies, chief steward, etc., of course, it will be more formal here, mainly responsible for ceremonies such as sacrificing heaven and earth, reading scriptures, worshipping ghosts and gods, and then announcing to the world the official establishment of the coalition army, in the absence of a formal edict, this is also a way to make the coalition army's actions legal and rational.

It sounds like it's just a symbolic meaning and it's not important, but in fact it's a pit, and there is almost no real power, but the most important thing is that if the Kwantung Coalition fails to crusade against Dong Zhuo this time, the main alliance will be the first evil, and the world will condemn it, because theoretically speaking, this position that doesn't seem to have much real power is the initiator of the coalition army, whether it is Cao Cao who initiated the edict or Yuan Shao who is the leader of the alliance, in principle, it is not the initiator.

If everyone is really here for the righteousness, then it doesn't matter who is the main alliance, but the problem is, plus Liu Chong, the king of Chen Chu, who has begun to make moves, Cui Jun, the Taishou of Xihe, and Liu Yan, who only morally supports the alliance because of the difficult journey, among the more than 20 princes, how many of them are really for the sake of the Han dynasty and the righteousness of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo?

After all, no one dares to say that they will not be defeated in their lifetime, and everyone must first think about the consequences that need to be borne if this matter fails.

Yuan Shao obviously wanted to trap Ye Zhao, if the alliance failed, then Dong Zhuo's main pressure would fall on Ye Zhao, and even the princes would fall into the ground, which was not impossible.

But who is Ye Zhao? Not to mention the previous life, the pattern is too small, just talking about this life, step by step to today, almost all of them have come to today's status in the calculation and being calculated, and can go from a humble family to the current township marquis, the position of the leading general, how can he not even see this doorway, and he directly refuses.

"Otherwise, this main alliance should have enough weight so that he will not be despised by others, among these heroes from all walks of life, when it comes to prestige, ability and status, who can compare with Ye Hou?" Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao and said with a smile.

"Meng Zhuo is one of the eight chefs, he has the talent of the heavens and the earth, and the prestige in the Shilin is beyond the reach of Zhao, if there is Meng Zhuo as the person of the main alliance, Zhao will definitely support it!" Ye Zhao glanced back at Zhang Miao and said with a smile: "In addition, the highway is the same as the original, after the fourth world and the third duke, although he failed to be the leader of this alliance, but the identity of the person of this main alliance is absolutely enough, I don't know what the princes think?" ”

After Ye Zhao finished speaking, he ignored Zhang Miao, who looked embarrassed, and Yuan Shu, who wanted to say something, and sat down with Cao Cao, since he did not participate in the alliance leader's affairs, the alliance has been completed at this moment, and the seniority is re-arranged, this first position, naturally it is not his turn to sit, Ye Zhao is also happy.

Seeing that Ye Zhao's hob meat was generally not oily and salty, but he used words to stiffen himself, the princes had no choice but to choose Ye Zhao among the princes.

It's just that in addition to Ye Zhao and Yuan Shao, there are also fifteen princes, who have been passing the buck to each other from morning to noon, but they have been unable to decide on the candidates for the main alliance.

Cao Cao couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to get up and be the main alliance, but was pressed back by Ye Zhao.

"I know that Meng De is ambitious, but at this moment, it's best not to be strong, this matter is not beneficial to you, even if you are the person of the main alliance at the moment, there are still a lot of things that you need to compromise afterward, among these princes, it is either a thorn or a guard, doesn't Zhang Miao say that the main alliance is enough?" Ye Zhao glanced at Cao Cao and said with a smile.

Cao Cao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, don't look at the princes who are making trouble now, but the things on the nominal table still have to be done enough, no matter what he is now, he can be regarded as a guilty person, no official and no lord, what qualifications do you have to be the main alliance? That's why no one came to him for half a day.

"Newspaper~"

Just when the princes were at a stalemate, a small colonel came to report: "The leader of the cavalry alliance, there is Liu Bei, the commander of the county under the command of Youzhou Mu, who led 3,000 troops and came to participate in the alliance." ”

Liu Bei was interceding because of Lu Zhi, Ye Zhao opened the net, helped Lu Zhi to the table, transferred Liu Bei to Youzhou, and became a lieutenant under the new Youzhou Mu, I heard that it has been mixed well in recent years, and it is quite relied on by Liu Yu, and now he has become the Taishou of the county, and even later heard that Liu Yu has the intention to let Liu Bei recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but he is encountering Wuhuan crimes, and the DPRK and China were also turbulent at that time, and the matter has been dragging on.

In his opinion, no matter who becomes the emperor, the world will always be the world of the Liu family, and the princes will ask for Dong, morally speaking, it is actually regarded as a crime, no matter if there is a big reason, directly raising troops to fight Luoyang, it is all in the face of the Han family.

However, Liu Yu did not respond, but it did not mean that Liu Bei was willing to give up this opportunity, although Liu Yu treated him well, on this matter, there was no opposition, but he did not encourage it, so Liu Bei only brought 3,000 people to participate in the alliance.

"Who is this Liu Bei?" Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao suspiciously, always feeling that this name was a little familiar.

"Meng De has forgotten the battle of Western Hubei back then, who caused me to almost be wiped out?" Ye Zhao laughed.

"It turned out to be him!" As one of the few tragic battles in Ye Zhao's military career, Cao Cao remembered it more clearly than Ye Zhao, looked at Ye Zhao and worried: "This time he is also here for righteousness, the past grievances, can Xiu Ming put it aside for the time being?" ”

"In Mengde's eyes, I'm so stingy?" Ye Zhao said with a smile, if it wasn't for Lu Zhi to talk about it, he would have forgotten about it.

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded affirmatively.

Ye Zhao: "......"

The two of them exchanged in a low voice, then Yuan Shao heard that there was another prince, but he was overjoyed, he didn't remember who Liu Bei was, but this did not prevent Liu Bei from coming at this time to be excited, and immediately said: "Hurry up, please." ”

At this time, Liu Bei was different from when he was still white in Nanyang, he was a county guard, no matter where he came from, he was on an equal footing with most of the people present, including Yuan Shao.

Soon, Liu Bei came in with Zhang Fei.

There is not much change in appearance, but the momentum is a lot calmer, even in the face of this full of princes, Liu Bei can also be calm, that is a kind of inside-out bearing, not as reserved as back then, looking at the pretentiousness, the princes don't know Liu Bei, but Liu Bei is quite clear about the princes, according to their respective official positions, backgrounds are courteous, so that people can't find fault.

It's a big change!

Ye Zhao leaned on the Hu bed and looked at the two people around Liu Bei with interest, one was Zhang Fei, he naturally recognized it, but the other person was not Guan Yu, he was a quite elite general, and his momentum was not weak, but he was not as sharp as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

At that time, Ye Zhaobiao Liu Bei was the captain under Liu Yu, but Guan Yu was recommended by Ye Zhao to join Gongsun Zan as a Sima of other departments.

Yuan Shao also remembered who Liu Bei was under the reminder of his staff at this moment, Liu Bei came in, stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Liu Bei and said with a smile: "In the past, Nanyang was goodbye, and it has been many years, and now I don't want Xuande to have a great reputation under the Bo'an public account." ”

"A little false name, not enough to worry about." Liu Bei smiled and said, he is not the fledgling stunned young man he was back then, he also has his own opinions on the affairs of officialdom, so naturally he will not dig out his heart and lungs with others because of Yuan Shao's praise of a few words.

After a few words of greeting with Yuan Shao, Liu Bei saw Ye Zhao sitting with Cao Cao, his face changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said: "I have seen Ningxianghou, thank you Ningxianghou for helping you regardless of your previous suspicions, I don't know how to repay this kindness." ”

Zhang Fei muttered a few words behind Liu Bei, but didn't say anything.

Obviously, Lu Zhi had already informed Liu Bei of the reason why he was able to re-enter the office, no matter what, at least this attitude was completely fine.

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, since Ye Zhao chose to help at the beginning, it naturally means that the grudge has been put down by him, and he smiled at the moment: "Xuande can have today, it has little to do with Ben Hou, if you don't have the ability, even if Ben Hou has the heart to help you, you can't sit in your current position, you don't need to be polite." ”

"Don't talk about that." Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Xuande came just in time, we are discussing who the people of this main alliance are, Xuande is a favorite general under the command of Duke Bo'an, this time he also came on behalf of Youzhou, Duke Bo'an is a clan relative of the Han family, Xuande is also on behalf of Duke Bo'an, it is better for Xuande to be the person of this main alliance, what does Xuande think?" ”

"This ......" Liu Bei hesitated a little, not to see anything, but always felt that so many people and princes couldn't choose this main alliance, and he decided that it was him as soon as he came, something was wrong.

It's just that Liu Bei is soft-spoken here, and Ye Zhao can't remind him that under the persuasion of the princes, in the end, he still became the person of the main alliance.

Although the weight is a little light, after all, in addition to the official position can be on par with everyone present, in other aspects, Liu Bei does not have any proud capital, but the princes can't manage so much, how to say, it is also a county too guarded, and Liu Bei is the main alliance, it is not too embarrassing, and the plan has been decided, Liu Bei will be urged by everyone to sacrifice to heaven and earth, and prepare to swear to go on the expedition.
