After Cao Cao's letter of crusade against Dong Zhuo was released, the world's heroes gathered to respond, and the powerful people in charge of military power in various places raised troops one after another, with more than 30,000 people and horses, and as little as 10,000, including Cao Cao, a total of 18 princes.

All the princes met in the sour jujube, and their respective camps stretched for more than 200 miles.

Cao Cao, as the initiator of this alliance, slaughtered cattle and horses in his military camp, and invited the rest of the seventeen princes to the banquet to discuss the plan of entering the army to fight against Dong.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone began to discuss business. Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi County, was the first to stand up and propose that since everyone formed an alliance to discuss Dong Zhuo, they could not fight separately without a leader, and the top priority was to elect an alliance leader to be the prime minister and dispatch people from all walks of life.

As soon as these words came out, all the princes in the tent were silent, and most people's eyes only turned around Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Among these two people, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family behind Yuan Shao, protégés and former officials are all over the court and the opposition, although Yuan Shao himself is the concubine of the Yuan family, but he has shown extremely extraordinary courage and talent since he was a child, and the popularity is even far better than that of Yuan Shu, the son of the Yuan family;

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao knew each other when they were young, they knew each other very well, and their own scheming and eyesight were superhuman, so they had already seen that although Yuan Shao was silent on the surface, his eyes unconsciously revealed a trace of extremely dark heat, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. He never coveted the position of the leader of the alliance destined for fame and fortune, but he also knew that if he competed with Yuan Shao for this son, it was needless to say that he would lose, and if he succeeded, he would inevitably form a mortal enmity with Yuan Shao, and now he is far from having the capital to compete with this young friend.

In the middle of his mind, he had already weighed the pros and cons and made a quick decision, and immediately stood up and waved to everyone: "In the foolish opinion of Cao, Yuan Benchu is the fourth and third dukes, and there are many old officials, who are descendants of the famous ministers of the Han Dynasty, and they can ......."

"Report-" Before he finished his sentence, a small colonel outside the door suddenly rushed into the tent, saluted Cao Cao and said, "There is another righteous teacher outside, and he has set up camp twenty miles away, and the leader brought a few people to the camp gate to ask for a meeting!"

Yuan Shao heard that Cao Cao seemed to have the intention of promoting himself as the leader of the alliance, and his heart was in ecstasy, but he was interrupted by this report, and shouted angrily: "Who is here?

As soon as he said this, he suddenly realized that he was a little out of shape. Now that everyone is in Cao Cao's military camp, how can they ask the other party's subordinates, it is inevitable that they are overstepping.

Cao Cao was indeed unhappy in his heart, but his city was very deep, so he naturally would not make trouble to Yuan Shao for this little thing, and immediately shouted to the little colonel who was a little at a loss: "Didn't you hear General Benchu's question?

Only then did the junior colonel reply: "The person who came claimed to be Jingnan Zhonglang General Yu Tianlai." ”

"What kind of Jingnan Zhonglang general, it's just a remnant of anti-thieves!" Yuan Shu on the side sneered, "Brother Meng De, if our righteous teachers are mixed into such a monkey and crowned person, it will inevitably provoke the ridicule of the world." According to a certain opinion, that Yu Tianlai should be expelled immediately!"

As soon as this statement came out, twelve or thirteen of the eighteen princes echoed it.

Cao Cao looked around at everyone, and suddenly saw three people standing behind Gongsun Zhan, the Taishou of Beiping, with disapproving looks on their faces, and asked in his heart: "Who is behind Gongsun Taishou?"

Gongsun Zhan led one of them out to greet Cao Cao, and introduced from the side: "This is a friend of a classmate, Liu Bei, the commander of Pingyuan County. ”

Cao Cao also fought against the Yellow Turban Army, so he learned that there were three brothers Liu Guanzhang and Zhang, who were extremely brave, and they had broken the enemy since the beginning of the army in Zhuo County.

"Treat Yu Tianlai, you should be cautious. Although Liu Bei faced the scrutiny, suspicion and even contemptuous gaze of these parties, he did not feel embarrassed at all, and said calmly, "Bei's knowledge is not as shallow as the princes, but he has a little more understanding of Yu Tianlai, so he took the liberty to suggest to the princes." When Guangzong encircled and suppressed Zhang Jiao, he was preparing for his meeting, and he was encountering a defeat of the official army, and the coach Dong Zhuo was chased and killed, and the person who chased and killed was Yu Tianlai. At that time, Bei and his two righteous brothers saw that the officers and soldiers were being chased and killed, so they rescued them, and the result was ...... Hey, I'm ashamed, our three brothers joined forces, but we could only save our lives under the heavy sword of that Yu Tianlai. Afterwards, we learned the news from the family teacher Lu Gong that Yu Tianlai had cultivated to the realm of the heavens and people, and the family teacher had also fought with him. ”

When he said this, he immediately stopped, and took the initiative to retreat behind Gongsun Zhan, and all the princes also fell silent, but a supreme master of the Celestial Elite level was not something anyone could insult. At the same time, everyone also looked up to Liu Bei, because if he didn't lie, the three brothers would have the strength to compete with the Celestial Scene.

Later, Cao Cao was the first to make a decision, and smiled at everyone: "No matter what Yu Tianlai's background is, now he is always the middle general of my Han Dynasty." Since he has the heart to contribute to the country, it is not good for us to turn him away, so why not invite him into the camp to see him!"

Everyone was silent, including Yuan Shu, and acquiesced to his proposal.

Cao Cao immediately ordered the little school to invite Yu Tian to enter the camp, but after all, no one went out to greet him.

After a short time, four people entered proudly under the guidance of the school, a Taoist, a teenager, a man with spotted temples, and a burly and fierce man like a giant beast.

Everyone originally sat still, and when they saw the young man, they first shook their bodies violently, and then rubbed their eyes with a face full of disbelief, and then jumped up from their seats in shock, and stepped forward in a mess to cry and worship the young man, and shouted in their mouths: "Your Majesty!"

Naturally, it was Yu Tianlai, Liu Wei, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, who had already been recruited.

Liu Wei followed Yu Tianlai to travel these days, and was taught by his words and deeds, and his knowledge has been greatly defeated in the past, although he saw everyone crying, but he knew that some of them may be sincere such as Kong Rong, and more people such as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu Brothers are other scheming, immediately stepped aside and bowed back: "Everyone, please get up, I am no longer the Son of Heaven now, you must not use the old name." ”

Everyone looked at each other and didn't react for a while.

Liu Wei said: "Now that my brother has ascended the throne, if you still treat me with the old courtesy, don't you want my brothers to fight? I came this time just to join hands with you to fight against Dong Zhuo, a thief of the Han Dynasty, and I have no intention of restoring the throne." With this heart, every day can be expressed!"

"The king is benevolent, and the ministers are extremely respectful!" everyone listened to him so categorically, there was no room for half a penny, some were pleased, some were disappointed, but they all changed their names according to their words.

Everyone sat down from the new seat, Liu Biao was not allowed to sit on the throne, Yu Tianlai sat down and sat down after Liu Bian explained that he had worshiped him as a teacher, above everyone, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei stood behind Liu Bian.

Yu Tianlai smiled and bowed his hand to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, Poor Dao thinks that since everyone is a joint army to fight for thieves, there should always be a person who is in charge, but I don't know if everyone already has a suitable candidate?"

Everyone was speechless, and at the same time turned their eyes to Yuan Shao, who looked embarrassed.
