Inside the tent, it became silent for a moment, as silent as death. The princes of the Eighteenth Road looked at each other, the expressions on their faces were mixed, and the wine glasses and chopsticks were neatly placed on the table, and even the buzzing of mosquitoes could be heard. At this time, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth rose slightly, and he glanced around the tent.

After a while, Yuan Shu couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw that no one spoke. "Everyone, don't hesitate any longer, without the alliance leader, we are destined to be a plate of scattered sand!" Yuan Shu slammed his wine glass and said sharply. And every word of his fell on everyone's hearts like thunder.

However, everyone is still silent, no one wants to be the leader of the alliance, and they don't want to be the leader of the alliance! Because everyone is selfish, the power of the alliance leader is great, and it means a symbol of honor; The leader of the alliance bears a great responsibility, you are the commander-in-chief, bearing the burden of commanding the whole army, and if you are not careful, the whole army will be wiped out, this burden is too heavy, no one wants to bear it!

At this time, Cao Cao saw that his strength was almost up, so he stood up, paused his voice, and said, "Listen to me, I initiated this alliance!" When I was in Chang'an before, Dong Zhuo's atrocities were all seen and experienced by myself! Those innocent people, taken by Dong Zhuo's obscenity, no one dared to resist! ”

"I, Cao Cao, can't bear the people of the world in dire straits, so I rise up to resist and get rid of Dong Zhuo, a traitor! The fact that everyone can come here shows that you are all thinking about the world and returning peace to the world! Since we all have the same purpose, we should abandon everything and work hard for the common people in the world! ”

Sure enough, after Cao Cao finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement. At the same time, Cao Cao was so happy in his heart, he still had prestige, that Yuan Shu said so much, and no one paid attention to him! It seems that the position of this alliance leader belongs to him, and he can't help but have a strange light in his eyes.

"I think the position of the leader of this alliance should be taken by Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai!" Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao looked at each other and smiled, and then said. As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed, Yuan Shao's family has a huge power, among the princes of the Eighteen Roads, there are many generals and the greatest prestige, and he is the most suitable person to be the leader of the alliance!

After listening to everyone's words, Yuan Shao slowly stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Everyone, how can I, Yuan Shao, be able to do anything, I will never be able to take the position of the leader of this alliance!" As soon as the words fell, everyone said that only Yuan Shao was suitable to be the leader of the alliance, and if the others were the leader of the alliance, no one would obey!

"Alas, since you are so fond of you, I can only reluctantly become the leader of the alliance first. However, since I, Yuan Shao, have become the leader of this alliance, I will definitely live up to the high expectations of everyone, and take the common people in the world as my own responsibility, and I will definitely get rid of Dong Zhuo, a traitor! Yuan Shao saw that he couldn't refuse, so he said righteously, quite in the style of a commander.

Just when everyone was toasting with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was expressionless, originally he initiated this alliance against Dong, but he didn't expect to evacuate his family wealth, but he made a wedding dress for Yuan Shao, and he was naturally extremely resentful in his heart. In fact, it's not just him, most of the people here have their own ghosts, but because of the huge power of the Yuan Shao family, they had to make him the leader of the alliance. From the very beginning, this Dong Alliance was suspicious and doomed......

The next day, Yuan Shao led the princes to ascend the temporarily built general platform and swore to the sky: "The sky is above, Dong Zhuo bullied the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king; Messing with the palace ban and mutilating living beings; Wolves are unkind, and sins are accumulated! Today, according to the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, a large number of volunteers are gathered, vowing to sweep away the treacherous and rebellious Qing Dynasty, kill the murderers, vent public anger, support the royal family, and save the people. Yuan Shao and all the princes, we are willing to work together to crusade against Dong Zhuo and support the Han family! ”

A vigorous declaration made everyone enthusiastic, and the soldiers shouted to the sky! After they completed the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens, Yuan Shao sat on the tiger skin seat, and the princes from all walks of life lined up on both sides.

"Changsha guards Sun Jian as the vanguard, leading the troops to attack Bishui Pass, and the other princes, according to the danger, are ready to respond at any time! In addition, Nanyang guarded Yuan Shu too much, the governor of grain and grass, and supplied the battalions ......" Yuan Shao sat firmly on the tiger skin chair and gave orders. After receiving their respective tasks, everyone went out to prepare.

After arranging for a long time, Cao Cao, the initiator, seemed to be very idle, according to Yuan Shao's explanation, Cao Cao sat in the rear and commanded the whole army with him. To put it mildly, isn't it just an idler?

Hmph, isn't it because he doesn't have so many elite soldiers under his command that he is so underestimated by Yuan Shao? Despite the guilt in his heart, Cao Cao was still smiling, talking and laughing with Yuan Shao, and talking about wine, as if they were a pair of friends who had not seen each other for many years. At the same time, after Sun Jian returned to the tent, he immediately dispatched troops, with Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao as generals, leading an army of 30,000 to kill the water pass.

In fact, everyone wants to do this vanguard position, because this time it is clear that it is under the slogan of supporting the Han family, if he wins the war, he will inevitably become famous in one fell swoop, which will be of great benefit to him personally. Therefore, Sun Jian did not dare to hesitate, and immediately hurried overnight to kill Bishui Pass, and the generals guarding the pass had already learned of Sun Jian's name, plus his four generals, let the insults outside the city, just not go out of the city to fight, on the other hand, he immediately sent a meteor fast horse and galloped to Luoyang to report the emergency.

"Lan Xin, is what you said true?"

"How could I lie to you?" As soon as the words fell, Lu Bu picked up Fang Tian's painting halberd and was about to rush out, but fortunately, Lan Xin's eyes were quick and he hurriedly stopped him. "Get out of the way! Diao Chan is suffering there, how can I, as a husband, watch her suffer? Lu Bu said angrily, his eyes full of bloodshots.

At this time, Lan Xin stubbornly saved his arm and dragged him to the edge of the bed and sat down. "Think about it, in the court, although Wang Yun's power is not as strong as Xiangye, he is not to be underestimated, no matter how powerful you are, can you beat so many masters in his house?"

"As Xiangye's close attendant, Wang Yun naturally can't do anything to you? But have you thought about it, your sister-in-law is still with him, and after you leave, Wang Yun doesn't know how to torture your sister-in-law! Lan Xin persuaded bitterly, hoping that Lu Bu could calm down.

With a "snap", Lu Bu threw Fang Tian's halberd on the bed, raised his head suddenly, looked at Lan Xin with teary eyes, and said, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work." So tell me, what the hell should I do? After that, not only him, Lan Xin also burst into tears, choked up and said: "Brother, just after the easy break, everything needs to be patient, and when you have enough strength, you will naturally be able to rescue your sister-in-law!" ”

And after Lu Bu heard her words, he hissed "ah", and grabbed his head with both hands. Seeing him in such pain, Lan Xin's heart went to a pinprick, and she tightly protected Lu Bu without saying a word......
