Chapter 6: The Election of the Leader of the Alliance
Wei County, Wei County, Jizhou, which is located in the southeast corner of Wei County, is not far from Yanzhou.
As the initiator of the alliance of princes and one of the core figures, Cao Cao actually chose the location of this alliance here It can be regarded as a surprise to many people.
Of course, for the time being, this is only good for him, and everyone will only praise him for his big-heartedness and lack of fear to put such an important event on the territory of a strong opponent.
It's just like Lu Bu was just surprised, and soon figured it out, Cao Cao made it clear that he had no fear, it seems that Yuan Shao is now fighting at home, but as one of the most important people in the princes' alliance, Cao Cao used such a means that is not a means to pull over more than half, compared to Yuan Shao, who still has a "criminal record", is far from comparable, don't look at Yuan Shu, who is lukewarm to him after he comes, but Yuan Yu is still respectful, but who knows that this is not superficial kung fu.
Although the alliance was the first to be mentioned by Cao Cao last time, it was stolen from the limelight by Yuan Shaotong guò Chen Lin's brilliant essay against Dong Weiwen, and at that time, he was also thinking about various considerations and did not compete with it, but this time he stood up, naturally because now all the forces in the world except Dong Zhuo want to talk about a superior, he is the closest to Yuan Shao and the most likely to act as the leader of this alliance.
If Yuan Shao had unified the land of Hebei at this time, Cao Cao might not have considered competing with him when he had many soldiers and generals in the three counties, but now Yuan Shao has temporarily lost the battle for power in Hebei, and his current relationship with Han Fu, Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu, who are not to be underestimated, is very tense, and this tension may sometimes even have a greater impact than the relationship between enemies like Lu Bu and Yuan Shao. What's more, Yuan Shu, who can support him the most, is now being forced to be in a hurry by Sun Ce, Wang Lang, Liu Miao and others, and looking at his recent behavior, I am afraid that his heart is not small, and he may not be able to support his clan brother as vigorously as last time, and Yuan Yu's own survival is very difficult, not to mention that Cao Cao has made a lot of preparations for this and has not used them one by one, so if Yuan Shao still wants to compete with Cao Cao, failure is almost a doomed ending.
Originally, everyone was still here just to wait for the princes to slowly gather, but now that Lu Bu has arrived, there should be no one on Ma Teng's side without an accident, so the princes' alliance can officially begin.
Cao Cao consciously assumed the role of a guide. brought everyone to the Wei County Mansion Yabian Hall, which was used for the deliberations of the Alliance.
All the princes, including Cao Cao, sat in two rows of guest seats at this time. And intentionally or unintentionally, it is to arrange the seats according to the strength and confidence of all parties, at this time, Yuan Shao, as the host, naturally sits on the main seat honestly and unceremoniously, and everyone has no objections. And he looked at the princes with different expressions. But his eyes are discolored.
At this moment. A bold thought suddenly popped up in his heart, and even he himself was almost taken aback - now it can be said that among the princes in the world who can threaten him, except for Dong Zhuo, they are basically here, and Dong Zhuo is a national thief who is the public enemy of the world after all. No matter how strong he is, Yuan Shao will not feel afraid; These people here can dominate most of the forces in the world, even if they are united now, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not become important enemies in the future, especially Cao Cao, he is now more and more jealous of him, but they are all here now, in their own territory, they can do whatever they want, if they are wiped out, no one will know, and the forces behind them after their death will either let no one lead the civil strife, or take it over themselves, depending on the situation, As long as Dong Zhuo is not allowed to accept and strengthen his strength.
Thinking about it, Yuan Shaodu felt a burst of excitement, and his throat seemed to be a little thirsty, but soon, these thoughts were finally cut off by reason.
It's hard for him to say about the others, but there is a Lu Bu here, and he also recognizes the yellow-faced man who is with Lu Bu, that is, the military general who fought side by side with Lu Bu under the Tiger Prison, and his strength is not inferior to that of his subordinate Wen Chou - this is of course an illusion, but Yuan Shao has always had this illusion; And Cao Cao's military generals Yuan Shao have never seen his shot, but Cao Cao's character, if he can really rest assured that he will hand over his life to himself, Yuan Shao will not believe it, so there is only one explanation, that is, there is another
This is also the location of Wei County in Wei County, which is relatively remote, and Yuan Shao is not very easy to control, and it is just close to the land of Yanzhou, which happens to be occupied by Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao believes that once he reveals the slightest intention to do something, the other party will definitely be aware of it, not to mention the secret hand, just a Lu Bu is here, and there is enough deterrence for him to make him dare not act rashly, who knows if he has been divided by Lu Bu before he succeeds.
In Hebei in the past two or three years, Yuan Shao has also matured a lot, the original he may only be a capable minister above the temple, both the heart and courage are still very insufficient, especially the strong background has made him almost smooth sailing, until he met Lu Bu, the fate of the same evil star, repeatedly suffered in his hands, but it is not all without benefits, at least now he is by no means like this time in the original history, rigid and self-righteous and less decisive.
Although Tian Feng has been punished by him many times, he will always be released again after a short time, because he knows Tian Feng's benefits and Tian Feng's loyalty, and he will be a little reluctant when he thinks of his current situation.
At this time, he will be very envious of Lu Bu, he has Jia Xu, Chen Gong and other advisers under him, and he is also very envious of Cao Cao, he has Guo Jia, Xi Luo and Cheng Yu and others, and the power of these strategists has become famous all over the world with the gradual rise of the princes of these two sides, especially the most high-profile Guo Jia, Yuan Shaoyuan has also heard of his fame in the north, and he is also very envious of Cao Cao's friendship with Guo Jia, but he knows that he will never be able to have it.
"Ladies and gentlemen......" It was not Yuan Shao, who was now sitting on the main seat, who was wandering outside the world at this time, but Cao Cao, who was sitting in the first place on the lower left.
He had a sad face on his face, as if he was stating a blatant crime, "You are all sitting here today, you can be said to be loyal and good ministers of my Han Dynasty, but I can only sigh that the Han family has been deceived by villains recently, there are national thieves in the court, the Son of Heaven is coerced, and the clan is silent, and we have no blood in the air, but we have no choice but to impermanence in the world. ”
When Cao Cao said this, the princes such as Sun Ce, Yuan Shao and others subconsciously focused their attention on Lu Bu.
Although Cao Cao spoke for him before, and this time he calmly faced the meeting to participate in the meeting, it did not mean that everyone's vigilance and suspicion of him would be weakened much.
Maybe he has indeed broken with Dong Zhuo, but the wounds he once brought to them are not so easy to erase, and it will take time and Lu Bu to make enough contributions.
Of course, Lu Bu's face did not change in the slightest, and he also made a look of listening carefully, so that Yuan Shao had to shake his head and sigh that this person was not easy to deal with.
Cao Cao continued: "But we also gave the Dong thief a heavy blow, which can already be seen that the alliance is the right way to deal with that Dong Zhuo, but for various reasons there was a defeat last time, but this time we have a lesson from the past, as long as we don't repeat the mistakes of the past and work together to fight the enemy, I believe that we will be able to complete the battle and sweep away the treacherous!"
