Chapter 42: Step by step

The fierce aura that seemed to be everywhere in the tent made almost everyone present feel like they were holding a breath in their hearts, and it was difficult to stretch it out.

On the handsome position, Yuan Shao's face was already gloomy as water, his green muscles were hideously exposed on his forehead, and his eyes were full of boundless anger, this was the first time since Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, someone dared to settle accounts with him, which was almost equivalent to challenging his authority.

And what made him even more angry was that the one who challenged his authority turned out to be Cao Cao, who was already weak and almost anyone could step on it at will.

Meng De said this, have you thought about the consequences? Don't let it come out of your mouth! Yuan Shao said with a sneer.

In the face of Yuan Shao's almost undisguised threat, Cao Cao looked indifferent, glanced at Yuan Shao with bright eyes, and didn't seem to take it to heart.

"Be reasonable, why be afraid." Cao Cao straightened his back and said.

After speaking, Gongsun Chan applauded repeatedly, stood up, looked at Cao Cao with approval on his face and said: "Although Meng De said bluntly, if it is reasonable, who dares to do a black hand to you, and I have to ask Ben Taishoutong if he agrees." ”

"This is reasonable, my Sun Jian is also willing to be Brother Bao Mengde, Brother Bao Mengde is thoughtful." Sun Jian looked sarcastic, stared at Yuan Shu, and said slowly.

Subsequently, the rest of the princes spoke out one after another to express their willingness to protect Cao Cao, which immediately made Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu dumbfounded.

Mo Shuyan was also shocked, it turned out that these princes had already been dissatisfied, trying to get rid of Yuan Shao's rule, they should have suffered the losses of the two brothers of the Yuan family, but no one was willing to be the first bird, and now Cao Cao came out and naturally responded.

If this matter is not successful, Cao Cao can be sacrificed, and if this matter is successful, Yuan Shao will only hate Cao Cao's family of princes, and dare not anger the princes.

Thinking of this reason, Mo Shuyan looked at the princes and suddenly looked vigilant, sure enough, he relied too much on the records of the classics, and the history left behind, no matter how detailed it was, it was impossible to completely show the whole of this person.

Mo Shuyan turned his head sideways, looked at Cao Cao beside him, and felt more and more that Cao Cao was unfathomable, could not be judged by common sense, and the depth of his scheming was unprecedented.

After all the princes finished speaking, a sneer appeared on Cao Cao's face, and his eyes were like torches and said: "The alliance leader knows that the Tiger Prison Pass is a battle, and the princes of the Eight Roads have just defeated the Dong army, why should he listen to the words of the strategist Xu Zisheng and send Meng De's lone army to go deeper, resulting in a big defeat!" ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes flickered, and he shouted inwardly: "There is no evidence, can you only rely on your Cao Mengde's words to convince the public?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, all the princes were smiling, and they were all a little ashamed in their hearts Yuan Shao was already angry and lost his mind, if there was no warrant from Yuan Shao, just relying on that Xu Zisheng, he also wanted to order the princes, which was extremely ridiculous.

Sure enough, Cao Cao immediately took out the warrant brought by Xu Zisheng from his arms, stretched it out, and wrote it in black and white, stamped with Yuan Shao's handsome seal.

"I wonder if this thing can become a certificate in the mouth of the Lord of the Yuan League?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao was suddenly speechless, he didn't know how to answer, and secretly regretted that he could ask such a mindless word, how should he step down now?

Yuan Shu on the side looked at Yuan Shao's expression, and instantly stood up and relieved Yuan Shao's siege: "Xu Zisheng just secretly stole the alliance leader's command, and the alliance leader has no knowledge of this matter, at most, it can only be regarded as the alliance leader's unknown use." ”

When the princes heard this again, it seemed that it was not unreasonable, and they all nodded again, no longer targeting Yuan Shao.

With Yuan Shu coming out to relieve the siege, Yuan Shao's face suddenly returned to normal, and as if he was in power, he looked at Cao Cao quietly, wanting to see what else Cao Cao could come up with to blame himself as the leader of the alliance after passing this level.

And Cao Cao, his expression did not change at all, and while walking towards Yuan Shao, he said in a sonorous tone: "In the battle of Bishui Pass, Yuan Shu did not send grain and grass, so that Sun Jian was defeated and returned, this is unjust!" ”

"In the battle of Tiger Pass, Xu Zisheng ordered the Eighth Route Army to cover it, and wanted to capture Lu Bu alive, which resulted in thousands of people dying under the iron cavalry led by Lu Bu, which is unkind!"

"In the battle of Xingyang, I let tens of thousands of troops under my command bury the bones of Xingyang, but I did not send a single soldier to rescue, this is a trap for loyal people! Alliance leader, you may deny it! ”

After speaking, Cao Cao was already standing in front of Yuan Shao's case, looking at him, not afraid of the gradually increasing killing intent in Yuan Shao's eyes.

At this moment, Mo Shuyan's voice suddenly sounded.

"Lord, there is one more thing that has not been mentioned, that is, Xu Zisheng obtained the jade seal in Luoyang, and now he does not know his whereabouts, and it must be related to the alliance leader, which is a big disloyalty!"

The word jade seal, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, exploded in the hearts of all the princes, the reason why Dong Zhuo was not able to claim the emperor was because he could not get the jade seal, it was difficult to convince the people, and those who won the jade seal won the world, this statement is not a lie!

The princes who came back to their senses immediately exchanged heads and discussions, and their eyes looking at Yuan Shao were full of suspicion and murderous intent.

If it is said that Xu Zisheng has nothing to do with Yuan Shao when he gets the jade seal, no one will believe it, just with a small strategist, dare to seek the jade seal, does he have the ability to keep it?

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at Mo Shuyan deeply, not understanding why Mo Shuyan exposed the matter of the jade seal, and told the princes that Xu Zisheng would come up to confront him, wouldn't everything be exposed?
