Liu Wei chased the back of Hu Zhao leaving, and fell into deep thought, just now Hu Zhao urged him not to fight for the position of the leader of the alliance, not only did he not have any benefits, but it was even very likely to lead to a series of problems.

First of all, the princes of all walks of life will not really put their soldiers and horses in the hands of the alliance leader, which means that the position of the alliance leader is just empty reputation and no real power, but even if it is the nominal alliance leader, everyone still needs to listen to it on the surface, so the problem comes.

Dong Zhuo's strength is strong, and his subordinates are all fierce generals who fight on the battlefield, and most of the people on the alliance side are hastily recruited, only a small number of them are elites, and these elites are the hole cards of each family, and they will definitely not leak out, so no matter who the alliance leader lets take the lead at that time, he will definitely offend this person.

Man is a very ingenious creature, once he is beaten and disabled by Dong Zhuo, he will certainly hate Dong Zhuo, but the most jealous is the alliance leader. The people who came to the alliance were basically famous figures in history, and in this era of mutual attack, it was really unwise to provoke the princes of one side for no reason.

In addition, in terms of earning fame, Liu Wei doesn't need it at the moment, the entire alliance is under his banner, how can the reputation of an alliance leader be compared to this?

The most important point is that as the leader of the coalition, he will definitely become a thorn in Dong Zhuo's side, which can just divert Dong Zhuo's attention to Liu Wei, so as to ensure that he can implement his plan to make a fortune in the future, otherwise he will be stared at all day long, and if he wants to develop, there is no door.

"Your Highness, General Cao Cao of Fenwu asks to see you." The black bull entered the big tent and said respectfully.

"Cao Cao?" Liu Wei frowned and said, "Let him in." ”

At this time, when he heard the news of Cao Cao, he no longer had the excitement of meeting Xu Huang for the first time, and at the same time, he also had a new understanding of these people, no longer limited to historical records.

"The last general Cao Cao knocks on His Highness!" Where the curtain was lifted, Cao Cao's slightly short figure entered the big tent, and he walked in a hurry, striding in front of Liu Wei, bowing his head and saying.

"Mengde doesn't need to be polite." When he first saw Cao Cao at the gate, Cao Cao was just a lieutenant at that time, hidden in the crowd, and he was short and inconspicuous, if it wasn't for Liu Bian's special observation, he might not be able to find Cao Cao.

At this moment, Cao Cao is revealing a fierce drive, which is the opposite of the calm Liu Bei he saw during the day.

"Come, sit down." Liu Wei ordered his soldiers to move to their seats, only then did he turn his head and smile slightly: "Meng De came here late at night, I don't know what is important?" ”

"Your Highness!" Cao Cao thanked him, knelt on the ground, sat upright, and said in a condensed voice: "The minister is a little bold and reckless, if you want to say it to Your Highness, I hope Your Highness will forgive your sins!" ”

"Grant you innocence." Liu Bian narrowed his eyes slightly, the current Cao Cao is not the hero in history, and he was a little surprised that he was bold and reckless.

"In that case, the minister is in vain." Cao Cao took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said in a condensed voice: "When we meet tomorrow, Weichen will propose to promote the leader of the alliance, but His Royal Highness must not be appointed as the leader of the alliance." ”

"Huh!? Why? Liu Wei looked at Cao Cao's eyes with a trace of surprise, but his face was silent, he now had some doubts about whether the Cao Cao in front of him had the same name and surname as Cao Cao in history, this is no longer to say that Cao Cao is loyal to the Han, but it is a crime.

"My Han Dynasty declined, although it began with the two emperors of Huan and Ling, but Weichen thought it was not the fault of the Son of Heaven." Cao Cao glanced at Liu Bian, but seeing that there was no change on His Royal Highness's face, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, in fact, he also took the risk to come to talk about it after hearing about Liu Bian's various deeds from Cao Hong's mouth.

"The main reason is that the power of the wealthy family is above the Son of Heaven, the monarch is not the king, the minister is not the minister, the yin and yang are reversed, and there is the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which in turn leads to the disaster of Dong Zhuo. It is because the minister thinks that in addition to Dong Zhuo, it is easy to prevent Dong Zhuo, and only by implementing the policy of strong roots and weak leaves can it be consolidated once and for all. ”

"When today's wealthy families are not the Yuan family of Runan, the Yang family of Hongnong, the Xun family of Yingchuan, and the Chen family of Yingchuan, among which the Yang, Xun, and Chen poems and books are heirlooms, or it is not suitable to move, but the fourth generation of the Yuan family of Runan, the protégé and the former officials are all over the world, resulting in the world only knowing the Yuan family and not knowing the Son of Heaven, which is by no means a fortunate thing."

Cao Cao said this, and glanced at Liu Wei this time, but the expression on Liu Bian's face did not change at all, not even the slightest change in his eyes, which made him a little shaken in the careful observation that he was proud of.

"Go on." Although Liu Wei's face did not change, his heart had already turned over the river and the sea, but he wanted to hear what Cao Cao wanted to say, so he didn't say anything.

After getting Liu Wei's approval, Cao Cao continued: "Weichen thinks that the Yuan family is powerful and the Son of Heaven cannot be moved, but he can borrow the hands of others to shake the foundation of the Yuan family......"

Got it, got it.

Liu Wei has always had the biggest question, that is, when Wang Kuang proposed to nominate a person as the leader of the alliance to command the heroes, why Cao Cao admired Yuan Shao so much, of course, there was Yuan Shao's self-packaging in his early years and his great reputation, and there were also family reasons, but the biggest reason was that Cao Cao wanted to cut off the roots of his Yuan family.

Speaking of which, Cao Cao is also vicious enough.

In order to weaken the power of the wealthy family, Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the alliance, which led to the tragic death of Yuan Shao and his family under Dong Zhuo's knife, and in the end, only Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were left, which directly weakened the power of these two brothers.

This can also explain why at the beginning, Cao Cao has been following Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao is also benevolent and righteous to him, but why he must break away from Yuan Shao and fight against each other in the end, all because of the two different philosophies.

Liu Wei nodded in agreement with Cao Cao's proposal, and took this opportunity to chat with Cao Cao a lot, and Cao Cao did not leave quietly until midnight.

。。。。。。

When Liu Zhuo and Cao Cao negotiated late at night, Dong Zhuo in the Taishi Mansion was also talking about Liu Biao with Li Ru.

"King Hongnong is just in name, but in fact, the princes from all walks of life are just greedy for the interests in the hands of their father-in-law!" Li Ru's eyes flashed a hint of gloom, his grasp of people's hearts was too accurate, when Lu Bu followed Ding Yuan, he saw Lu Bu's ambition, and suggested that Dong Zhuo lure Lu Bu to behead Ding Yuan, and in the end, it was so, and Lu Bu also led more than 10,000 wolf horses to join.

"Hmph~" Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and sneered: "The old man has stayed in Luoyang for a long time, I'm afraid that the people of the world have forgotten the power of my Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and with the hurriedly recruited Kwantung Army, I also want to attack Luoyang, it's just a dream." ”

The corners of Li Ru's mouth raised a grim smile, and he said in a gloomy voice: "Since the Kwantung Qunxiong is in the name of Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, why don't your father-in-law order the Son of Heaven to issue an edict and reprimand the heroes, and the worst can also disintegrate their military morale." ”
