"Yuan Benchu, you said this for no reason, thinking that others don't know what you are thinking?"
Lu Bu's words made the princes' hearts tremble, and they felt that this Lu Bu was really not easy to provoke, and Yuan Shao's words made him like a fried tiger.
Then I saw him standing on the edge of the high platform, looking down at the princes below, with a sneer on his face, and said in a colder tone: "If this so-called alliance against Dong is like this, then a certain Lu Fengxian will not join." It's a pity that all of you are working hard for the restoration of the Han Dynasty and the punishment of the thieves, especially Cao Xuzhou has worked hard for this, but some people are making trouble internally and want to confuse the public. What is the purpose, it is just for his own selfish interests. ā
"Yuan Shao, if you don't join this alliance, unless you don't interfere with Cao Xuzhou as the leader of the alliance, I'm afraid you will all have to suspect your intentions."
Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel embarrassed for a while, it was very disrespectful to call people by their names, but he didn't care about this now, because the multiple-choice questions in Lu Bu's mouth were more critical to him now.
Of course, the reason why he opened his mouth was to use this to knock Cao Cao, even if he still sat in the position of the leader of the alliance in the end, but after Yuan Shao's trouble, it would undoubtedly greatly weaken the respect of the princes he had created from the beginning.
I didn't expect this Lu Bu......
"Lu Fengxian, if you can join my alliance. Didn't Tao Gongqian, Liu Gongdai and others die in vain before that? If we can't cut off Dong Zhuo's minions together, what is the use, and when will another Dong Zhuo pop out of it? Will it be like this again then, and then it will continue to grow? He can only bite the bullet now, but everyone has to admit that what he said does have some truth, which is also an unspoken worry in the hearts of many people.
This time, Lu Bu hadn't refuted yet, but Cao Cao spoke first.
Yuan Shao's thoughts Cao Cao also knew that he naturally couldn't let Yuan Shao get his wish, and he had to support Lu Bu to the end today. At least for the time being, they still have a stake in them. He couldn't just let go, so he couldn't care about Yuan Shao's face, and said as soon as his face sank: "Yuan Benchu, it's too much, right?" Feng Xian was introduced to my alliance by Cao Mengde. Previously, he did work for Dong Thief. And even for its minions. In the battle of the Tiger Prison, he also had a difficult time with us, but at that time, they were enemies of each other, and it was wrong for each to follow its own master? Now he can join the alliance. It is very helpful to ask for Dong's affairs, as for your so-called worries, it is just unfounded, just like that Dong Zhuo, who was also an important minister at the border of the Han family, has not become a Han scum? If a person's life is judged only by his momentary likes and dislikes, isn't it that he is destined for a lifetime from the time he falls to the ground? I don't know what it meant in the first place, but I'm afraid I can't agree with it. ā
Yuan Shao used three rhetorical questions, and Cao Cao replied to his three rhetorical questions, which even caused a commotion among the princes, and everyone began to think deeply.
Yuan Shao's face was extremely difficult to see, he originally thought that this Cao Cao would not tear his face with him for a Lu Bu, although they are now competitors of the alliance leader, but the private friendship between the two is not fake, but he didn't expect to say such a thing now, does this mean that he deliberately made things difficult?
At this time, Cao Cao seemed to suddenly understand something, and sneered again: "Isn't it true that as Feng Xian said, you were dissatisfied with Cao Mou being the leader of the Dong Alliance, so you sat down like this?" It's just Fang Cai, but I don't know who also agreed to Feng Xian to mention yƬ, to compete with the alliance leader with martial arts, and said that as long as everyone is convinced, then it will be decided, I don't know who else in the monarchs who is here now except Yuan Benchu, who else has objections, and said it together so that Cao Mou knows where he did it, causing everyone to be dissatisfied? ā
Everyone knows that it is one thing, and it is another thing to say it in person, the princes, including Lu Bu, did not expect that Cao Cao would give Yuan Shao such a faceless, it was completely to expose his scars.
At this time, they even had to pull them all in, but they didn't think it was Cao Cao's, but they felt that Yuan Shao was making trouble unreasonably, that is, Yuan Yu would not choose to stand on Yuan Shao's side at this time, but he didn't say it, but Yuan Shu was originally a little at odds with Yuan Shao in the family, and the two usually had less contact, and it was impossible to talk about a good relationship, I'm afraid you were really too careful. ā
This is not like Yuan Shu's style of speaking, but it came out of his mouth, although the tone was slightly flat, and the content of the words was not shocking, but seeing that he was looking at Yuan Shao with burning eyes at this time, the intention was very obvious.
Cao Cao smiled, he didn't expect the effect to be so good, he would come out first, one is to help Lu Bu, and the other is for the position of the leader of the alliance, if he is really disturbed by Yuan Shao like this, even if he reluctantly succeeds in the end, what he says will lose a lot of convincing power at that time, so before he officially becomes the leader of the alliance, he will first take Yuan Shao to establish his authority.
If Yuan Shao wants to meet him, it will be right, anyway, no matter how you look at this matter, he is at fault, and a very unreasonable reputation has a great impact on the princes who are aspiring to compete for the deer; And Yuan Shao's submission to the soft is logical, which can not only deal a heavy blow to his prestige, but also establish Cao Cao's majesty in advance.
Yuan Shao didn't have a second way to choose, but the results of both paths were obviously not what he wanted, he figured this out in his heart, and then fell into a tangle.
He suddenly regretted a little, regretting that he still didn't hold back just now, too reckless, although a series of setbacks in Hebei made him mature a lot, but the kind of big family arrogance in his bones is still deep in his heart, even if he looks down on Cao Cao, but he didn't expect that he would be under the feet of these people who he looked down on one day.
What about the big family, having no soldiers and no power in his hands is the biggest weakness, and it is indeed much more convenient for him to recruit soldiers and horses with his family background, but think about it carefully, how many of these people are really willing to follow him?
What's more, the family's entry criterion is that they will never put all their eggs in one basket, so there will be he, Yuan Shu and Yuan Zhi's tripartite Yuan surname forces, because he is currently the most powerful, so in fact, many of the resources left by the Yuan family are occupied by him, but if he loses power one day, the first point that Yuan Shu and they think of must be to snatch those resources, connections, prestige and even the family's secret long-term business income.
Now Yuan Shao didn't even have the courage to say it hard, he seemed to have lost most of the strength of his body in an instant, looking at the faces of the princes around him, his heart was cold.
Cao Cao frowned, "Originally, what else do you have to say?" ā
Yuan Shao shook his head, but he heard Cao Cao say: "Since this is the case, Cao will first give the first order as the leader of the alliance, that is, to select a deputy leader of the alliance to assist me." Although the alliance is only temporary, it is necessary to gather the forces of all the princes in the world, unite into a vast army, and fight Dong Zhuo together. What do you think, what do you mean? ā
Of course, in fact, the alliance is not a unified force after all, and it does not have such a strong cohesion, so this only refers to the status and identity in this short period of alliance, not real power.
That is to say, during the alliance period, as the deputy alliance leader, he has the right to act as the alliance leader when the alliance leader is away, and when the alliance leader is questioned by the alliance princes, he can even replace him.
And when it comes to the position of the deputy alliance leader, everyone can't help but think of Yuan Shao, who was still frustrated just now, Yuan Shao also subconsciously thought of himself when he heard this, he knew that this was probably Cao Cao's order to show favor to him, after all, if he got cheap and behaved, it would be too arrogant, and he would offend him to death, at present, Cao Cao has no fundamental conflict with him, and it is not worth making enemies like this.
What Yuan Shao didn't expect was that he guessed the beginning again, but he didn't guess the ending. (To be continued......)
