The princes of the Eighteenth Road arrived at the outskirts of Chenliu one after another.

At one time, three or four hundred thousand troops gathered, and the stockade exceeded 100 and stretched for more than 200 miles.

The princes lived in the big village outside the city, but Qin Feng lived in Chenliu City.

Before the conference was held, there were constant small meetings among the princes, each looking for someone close to him.

Cao Cao invited Qin Feng, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to a family banquet. Liu Bei was not idle, and invited Gongsun Zhan, Kong Rong, and Tao Qian.

On this day, Qin Feng had a good time at Cao Cao's place, and he returned to his mansion very late, and only then did he get up.

"My lord, your four apprentices, come to see you, they came early in the morning." Dian Wei saw Qin Feng get up, so he came to report.

Qin Feng washed his face, refreshed himself, and came to the front hall.

"Master." Sun Ceshi's brothers bowed together.

Qin Feng beckoned them to get up, only Shamoke got up, and when he saw that the others didn't get up, he knelt down again.

"What's the matter?" Qin Feng was puzzled.

I saw Zhu Huan pushing Ma Chao, and Ma Chao pushing Sun Ce," said the senior brother. ”

Sun Ce scratched his ears and cheeks for a while, very embarrassed and ashamed, but finally made up his mind, poofed his head, and said, "Master, Wukong's father will arrive with troops soon, and Wukong wants to go to meet him." ”

"That's as it should be, go ahead." Qin Feng immediately said.

Sun Ce said embarrassedly: "This ......, the big war is coming, the knife is ruthless, that ......, I ......, Master!" He couldn't say it, and kowtowed again.

Qin Feng scratched his head, at first he didn't understand what he meant, and then he suddenly realized. Although he was reluctant, he said, "In that case, you should stay with your father." ”

Sun Ce was overjoyed and kowtowed in shame.

Ma Chao also kowtowed again and again, and said: "Master, my father responded to Master's righteous act and raised troops in Xiliang, and he would attack Chang'an when he spoke, and I ...... it." Ma Chao blushed.

Qin Feng sighed and said, "In this case, you can go back to Xiliang and help your father." ”

"Thank you, Master, for ......." Ma Chao kowtowed in shame.

"Master......." At this time, the second apprentice Zhu Bajie, that is, Zhu Huan, spoke, "Master, there is a letter from home, saying that Jiangdong water thieves are rampant, and many of the family's properties have been plundered, and I am very successful in learning...... ”

"Go, go......." Qin Feng was sad and said: "It is said that the female eldest is not retained, and it is a revenge to stay and stay, and it turns out that the apprentice will not be retained when he is older." Qin Feng, who was in this matter, somewhat realized some other reasons why Zuo Ci was embarrassed by himself.

Sun Ce, Ma Chao, and Zhu Huan blushed, kowtowed, and said, "Master, the apprentice is not filial, but whenever the master summons, although it is thousands of miles, it will come soon." ”

Qin Feng felt that the master and apprentice were separated after the Tang Seng was completed, and he was about to separate before he was done. "Go, go, stay no more. In the future, if you are prosperous, don't forget to ask Master and me to be hi and ....... ”

Sun Ce glanced at them, and bowed again: "No matter what happens to the apprentice in the future, he also knows that he will be a teacher for one day and a father for life, but whenever the master has something, he will definitely help him." ”

"Go, go......." Qin Feng had a good relationship with his apprentices, but at the moment he was sad, he turned his back and waved his hand.

Sun Ce and the others' eyes turned red, and after a burst of kowtows, after three bows and nine bows, they came to Shamoke, "Wujing, the master will rely on you in the future." If there is any difficulty, Master will not say it, but you should also say it, and we brothers will definitely gather together. ”

"Hey." Shamoko answered honestly.

Sun Ce, Ma Chao, and Zhu Huan were also very difficult before they were able to make up their minds to leave.

"Master, don't be sad. Wujing will never leave Master in this life. Shamoke said honestly.

Qin Feng turned around, and there was only one of the four apprentices left, he walked down, patted Shamoke's shoulder, and sighed: "No matter when, Wujing is still the most sincere, or Wujing is sincere, and ......." ”

Five days later, the princes of the Eighteen Roads gathered.

Cao Cao slaughtered cattle and sheep, assembled the princes, and discussed the strategy of marching into the army.

The princes of the Eighteen Roads are all members of the imperial court who have gone out and are familiar with each other.

In the council hall, the princes of the Eighteen Roads, nine on one side, were relatively seated. The hall was empty, and there were no seats.

Taishou Wang Kuang said: "Today, Meng De is the first to advocate righteousness, and our alliance is here to conspire with great things, which is no less than the Guangwu Zhongxing Han Dynasty. However, when marching and fighting, do not be hasty, and must establish the leader of the alliance and the same order. Then it will be a great cause of ZTE! ”

Everyone nodded and praised for a while, saying that what Wang Kuang said was too good.

So, who will be the leader of the alliance?

The princes had their own thoughts.

Although the princes all have ambitions and no one obeys anyone, among the eighteen roads, only four are qualified to be the leaders of the alliance.

Yuan Shao glanced at Yuan Shu next to him, Yuan Shu pushed Yuan Yi beside him, and Yuan Yi hurriedly signaled to Bao Xin.

Who knew that Tao Qian stood up first and said: "The clan member of the Xuande Gong Han family, the current imperial uncle, can be the leader of the alliance." ”

Liu Bei remained silent, secretly happy in his heart. The three fat papers behind him widened his eyes, and the second master blushed and stroked five strands of long hair, clearly revealing the arrogance of the red seedlings.

Without waiting for everyone to express their opinions on this, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, got up and said: "Yuan Benchu is the third prince of the fourth generation, and the descendant of the famous minister of the Han Dynasty can be the leader of the alliance. ”

Beihai Taishou Kong Rong stood up and said: "The prestige of the champion Hou is all over the world, if he is the leader of the alliance, the people's will will will, and great things can be accomplished." ”

"What Kong Beihai said is very true, the champion Hou can be the leader of the alliance." Sun Jian said immediately.

These people put forward three candidates at once.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Yi, and the three brothers of the Yuan family glanced at each other. The Yuan family must be in charge.

Yuan Shao got up and said, "How can Yuan Shao dare to be the leader of the alliance?" It's better to choose one of Zijin and Xuande. ”

Bao Xin was immediately dissatisfied, "The fourth and third dukes of Benchu, the descendant of the famous minister, has assisted the Han family for more than 100 years, if Benchu can't become the leader of the alliance, who is still qualified?" ”

The family background of the Yuan family is definitely the first in the Han Dynasty.

Suddenly, the three fat papers spoke, "If you say a word, you can become the leader of the alliance, then I Zhang Fei will say that my eldest brother is the leader of the alliance!" ”

"The third brother can't be rude...... Yuan Taishou has his own opinions." On the one hand, Liu Bei scolded the three fat papers, and on the other hand, it was clear that it was impossible to say a word to be the leader of the alliance.

Yuan Shao sneered in his heart and said, "There are many ringworms, what do you think?" ”

Liu Bei didn't speak.

Cao Cao frowned, "Everyone votes." What do you think? ”

Qin Feng remained silent, but he didn't expect that the election was played here.

At this time, Gongsun Chan asked, "What is voting?" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "This is an election model created by Zijin, everyone writes down the choice in their minds, and the one who gets the most votes is the leader of the alliance." It will inevitably hurt the harmony, so let's vote by secret ballot. ”

Most of the heroes were dumbfounded, and they couldn't help but sigh: "This model of Champion Hou is really a good way." ”

As a result, the princes began the first "democratic election" since ancient times, electing the leader of the alliance, so as to lead everyone to "make a revolution".

The princes carried others behind their backs, and in their thoughts, they wrote something on the bamboo paper with a pen, and they quickly closed it.

In a short time, the votes of the princes were collected.

Yuan Shao is determined to win the alliance leader, although he is a little apprehensive about the election, but he has a lot of fixed votes here, and he has the bottom in his heart, and he said: "Meng De is the initiator, let Meng De sing the votes." ”

Cao Cao's face was dark, staring at Yuan Shao sharply, the co-leader of the alliance has nothing to do with me, but it is my business to sing votes? Since Yuan Shao said that Cao Cao was not good at refusing, he stood up. Another soldier sent a box containing the princes' votes, and he took out one from it and read: "Guangling guards Zhang Chao, one vote." ”

The princes' hearts moved, Zhang Chao had one vote?

Qin Feng was also stunned, and said in his heart, Zhang Chao has one vote, it seems that this time the election of the leader of the alliance is very promising.

Cao Cao kept reading: "Dongjun guards Qiao Mao, one vote." The party is too guarded by Zhang Yang, one vote. Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, one vote. Gunzhou Mu Liu Dai, one vote. ”

"Oops, it's so unbelievable, it's all one vote." Qin Feng said to Dian Wei behind him.

Dian Wei was honest, but not stunned, scratching his head and saying, "Do you choose yourself?" ”

I don't know what happened, and the princes blushed for a while.

"Mengde, why don't you read it?" Qin Feng saw Cao Cao suddenly stop and asked.

Cao Cao rarely blushed, but his eyes were still ruthless and sharp, and he finally said: "Cao Cao, one vote." ”

Qin Feng wanted to laugh very much, such an alliance of princes also set a historical precedent.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and stiffened up, and when he read the next vote, his face was much better, "One more vote for ringworm." ”

"Ringworm is more and more votes ......."

Everyone else is currently one vote, but Liu Bei has two votes, he is overjoyed, and his big ears are hovering for a while.

Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi County, said: "Lord Cao, please wait a minute, which one is the most ringworm?" ”

"Huh?" After Cao Cao was stunned, he laughed and said: "Wang Taishou has been in Hanoi, I don't know, ringworm is Xuande." Zijin's vernacular pronunciation is pronounced "ringworm", and we are all used to it. ”

"Yes, we're all used to ......." Kong Rong, Tao Qian and others who came out of the capital smiled kindly.

Liu Bei was red to the root of his ears, Zhang Fei's eyes widened, the second master's face was very red, and he turned his head aside with his beard, so he didn't hear it.

Among the princes, some of them were shocked when they heard about it for the first time. There is also "ringworm", is it psoriasis, or what the hell?

"Hmph~, anyway...... I have two votes, one more than all of you. Liu Bei thought so.

After this little episode, Cao Cao continued to read: "Zijin, one vote." Zijin is another vote. "Cao Cao's mouth has become O-shaped," Zijin returned a vote ....... ”

"There were three votes!" The princes were taken aback.

Liu Bei shook his ears, "It must be that he voted for himself...... ”

When he got here, Qin Feng was ahead by three votes, Liu Bei was second with two votes, and the others were all one vote, while Yuan Shao did not have one vote.

Yuan Shao's head was big, "Highway, why don't I have a vote, is what you said false?" ”

Yuan Shao hurriedly said: "At the beginning, don't be impatient, I must have voted for you." (To be continued.) )
