The next day, all the princes gathered in the big tent, and Cao Cao, who issued the edict, was naturally responsible for receiving everyone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Killing chickens and slaughtering sheep, everyone had their first formal meeting in this big tent, and everyone was staggered, but Zhang Zai was on the side to check everyone's attributes.
"Sun Jian's character Wentai: 94 in force, 92 in command, 83 in intelligence, and 80 in politics."
"Yuan Shao's character is original: 70 in force, 74 in command, 83 in intelligence, and 76 in politics."
"Yuan Shuzi Highway: 63 in force, 70 in command, 78 in intelligence, 69 in politics."
"Gongsun Zhanzi Bo Jue: 90 in force, 91 in command, 74 in intelligence, and 67 in politics."
β¦β¦
As for the others, the attributes are really average, only Kong Rong's intelligence is 80, and most of the rest of the people's attributes are between 70 and 75.
After three rounds of drinking, a person suddenly got up and said: "Our rebel army recruited Dong thief, there are more than a dozen road army, this group of dragons cannot be leaderless for a day, we should set up an alliance leader, arrange scheduling, in order to facilitate the march." β
Zhang Zai looked up and saw that it was Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang who spoke, this Wang Kuang was a former official of the Yuan family, and someone from the Yuan brothers must have instructed him to say this.
As soon as his words came out, they immediately attracted a lot of echoes.
Some people say that Kong Rong is the leader of the alliance after Confucius, and some people say that Cao Cao, as the initiator of the alliance, should be the leader of the alliance...... All of a sudden, there was a lot of excitement in the tent.
Just when everyone was arguing, Zhang Zai said loudly: "Everyone, the fourth generation and the third duke of the Yuan family, the protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, and there are children of the Yuan family here. β
In addition to Zhang Zai himself, many of the princes of the Eighteen Roads have received the favor of the Yuan family, so after Zhang Zai finished speaking, some people immediately began to echo him.
Even Cao Cao followed and said: "Yes, it is extreme, he was originally a son of the Yuan family, and he is a descendant of the famous minister, and he is the leader of the alliance, I believe that it is more suitable than anyone else." β
When Yuan Shao heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Zai, this Wang Kuang was arranged by him, in order to draw out the status of the Yuan family, and now that Zhang Zai proposed him, he was also elected as the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao naturally wanted to remember him in his heart.
Since everyone said so, everyone soon reached an agreement, and the position of the leader of the alliance was held by Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao first excused himself, but everyone had already made up their minds, and Yuan Shao finally agreed to become the leader of the alliance.
So he immediately ordered people to cast a high platform, prepare the flags of the five directions, and the incense cases and livestock used to worship the heavens.
The high platform was cast the next day, and the princes led troops to the high platform, and then invited Yuan Shao to take the stage.
Yuan Shao sorted out his clothes, then carried a long sword at his waist, climbed the high platform with a serious face, burned incense and sacrificed to the sky, and at the same time read in his mouth: "The Han family is unfortunate, and the emperor is out of control. The thief Dong Zhuo, took advantage of the provocation and indulgence, added disaster to the supreme, and abused the people. Shao and others were afraid of the loss of the society, entangled the volunteers, and went to the country. Whoever is allied with me and works together to make the ministers have no two aspirations. There is this alliance of Chongqing, and it is impossible to lose its life, and there is no legacy. The emperor and the queen of heaven, the ancestors and the spirits, are all learned! β
After reading it, the blood was an alliance, and everyone was also impassioned because of Yuan Shao's rhetoric, and they wept, and then they also followed the blood.
After the alliance was completed, everyone returned to the tent and arranged the seats according to the age of the marquis, Cao Cao, as a member of the allied army, presided over the general banquet.
After a few rounds of drinking, Cao Cao said: "Since the leader of the alliance has been elected, we must obey the order, support together, and help the poor." β
Yuan Shao also said: "Shao Bucai, was elected as the leader of the alliance by everyone, since the rewards and punishments are clear, the state has national laws, and the army has military regulations, and I hope you will abide by the rules, don't disobey." β
"Obey the orders of the Lord," everyone replied in unison.
"My brother Yuan Shu can be the grain supervisor, responsible for transporting grain and grass, and providing large army food." Yuan Shao saw that everyone obeyed his orders, so he arranged the task.
"Alliance leader, slow down!" Zhang Zai got up and bowed, gave Yuan Shao enough face, and then said: "Grain and grass are very important, and the coalition army is hundreds of thousands, and it is not the power of one person to operate, so it is best to order one more person to be in charge together." β
Although he was a little unhappy when he was interrupted in public, he thought of Zhang Zai's previous support for him, and he still endured the unhappiness in his heart and asked, "What does Zide propose?" β
Zhang Zai looked around at everyone, ignoring Yuan Shu's cannibalistic gaze, and finally his eyes stopped on Cao Cao and said, "Brother Meng De can take on this position." β
Cao Cao smiled bitterly, to be honest, he really didn't want to participate in this matter, transporting grain and grass was a thankless task.
Yuan Shao asked, "Meng De, what do you think?" β
Seeing Zhang Zai constantly glaring at him, Cao Cao shook his head and smiled: "Cao is willing to serve as an adjutant for grain and grass transfer." β
Yuan Shu finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "Okay, you Zhang Zide, what is the reason for going against me everywhere!" β
Zhang Zai naturally didn't give Yuan Shu a good face, and replied expressionlessly: "Naturally, it is for the sake of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of our coalition army. β
"You!" Yuan Shuqi's seven orifices smoked, pointing at Zhang Zai trembling and speechless.
Everyone also dissuaded them, asking the two not to have infighting over a trivial matter.
"Hmph, Zai doesn't want to fight with Dong Thief outside, and he was cut off from the supply of grain and grass." Zhang Zai thought of Yuan Shu's cutting off Sun Jian's grain and grass in history, which caused Sun Jian to be defeated, and he was afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past.
"Humph!" Yuan Shu also ignored Zhang Zai anymore, in fact, even if Zhang Zai didn't say that there would be another person in charge of grain and grass, Yuan Shu had already made up his mind in his heart to reduce the supply of grain and grass to him.
Seeing that the farce between the two subsided, Yuan Shao continued: "The alliance has just begun, and now it still needs a pioneer, arrive at Bishui Pass in advance, and go to challenge, who is willing to go?" β
"Carry your wishes!"
"Persistent!"
Zhang Zai and Sun Jian replied at the same time.
Sun Jian looked at Zhang Zai and said: "Zide, you have few soldiers and cavalry, this time you will inevitably tackle key problems, so let me take the position of pioneer." β
Zhang Zai did not back down: "Brother Wentai, under the command of this Dong thief, many cavalry, your Jiangdong soldiers are all infantry, without the help of cavalry, I am afraid that I will suffer a big loss if I encounter it, and it is most suitable for me to take the position of pioneer." β
Cao Cao on the side said: "Alliance leader, why don't you go with the two of you." β
Since Zhang Zai interrupted Yuan Shao's arrangement, Yuan Shao also hoped that Zhang Zai would leave as soon as possible, so he said: "Wentai, Zide is brave and fierce, and the two of you will go together." β
"No!" The two of them took the order and went to the camp.
The two joined forces and were about to go to Bishui Pass, but they saw Cao Cao waiting at the gate of the camp, and when they saw Zhang Zai Cao Cao, they said: "Zide, you can offend Yuan Shu miserably, aren't you afraid that he will secretly make a trip?" β
Zhang Zai smiled disdainfully and said: "Yuan Shu is a villain, he has offended him before, it is estimated that he has long planned to cut off a certain military ration, and now there is Brother Meng De in charge of grain and grass, but there is no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass, it just affects Brother Meng De." "Bow to Cao Cao, it can be regarded as an apology.
Cao Cao helped Zhang Zai up: "Zide doesn't have to be polite, Cao grew up with the highway since he was a child, and he also understands his temperament, Zide is just thinking about himself, besides, this is also for the Han world, in order to be able to destroy Dong Thief as soon as possible, there is nothing to be involved or not." β
Zhang Zai sighed: "Meng De Gaoyi! β
Sun Jian had already led the troops to wait, and it was inconvenient for Zhang Zai to talk to Cao Cao more, so he said goodbye to Cao Cao and joined Sun Jian.
Sun Jian was followed by the four generals, and the two introduced their respective generals to each other, and Zhang Zai also secretly checked the attributes of the four.
"Cheng Puzi Demou: 89 in force, 87 in command, 80 in intelligence, and 69 in politics."
"Huang Gaizi Gong Reply: 88 in Force, 82 in Command, 79 in Intelligence, 67 in Politics."
"Han Dangzi Yigong: 85 in force, 84 in command, 80 in intelligence, and 71 in politics."
"Zu Mao Zi Darong: 83 in force, 75 in command, 67 in intelligence, and 52 in politics."
Speaking of the direction of Luoyang, after Dong Zhuo received the news that Yuan Shao had assembled a coalition army to attack Luoyang, he asked everyone to discuss countermeasures.
In the end, Dong Zhuo ordered Huaxiong to be the main general, Hu Zhen and Li Su as deputy generals, leading 50,000 troops to meet the enemy at Bishui Pass.
