Chapter 6, the choice of the leader of the alliance
Wei County, Wei County, Jizhou, is located in the southeast corner of Wei County, not far from Yanzhou.
As the initiator of this alliance of princes and one of the core figures, Cao Cao actually chose this place as the venue for this alliance, which surprised many people.
Of course, for the time being, this has only advantages and no disadvantages for him. Everyone will only praise him for being broad-minded and not afraid to place such an important event on the territory of a strong opponent.
It's just that Lu Bu was just surprised, and he soon figured it out. Cao Cao was confident by making it clear like this. It seemed that Yuan Shao was fighting at home now, but as the most important person in the alliance of princes, Cao Cao was allowed to use such a
Not a hand
Duan's methods were able to defeat more than half of them. In comparison, Yuan Shaoke, who still had a "criminal record", was far behind. Regardless of Yuan Shu's lukewarm treatment of him after he came, Yuan Yi was still the same.
It's very respectful, but who knows that this is not superficial.
Although Cao Cao was the first to talk about forming an alliance last time, it was overshadowed by Yuan Shao's eloquent criticism of Dong Dong through Chen Lin. At that time, he was thinking of various considerations and did not argue with him, but this time he stood up.
, naturally it is also because among all the forces in the world now, except for Dong Zhuo, if we want to compare him, he is closest to Yuan Shao and most likely to serve as the leader of the alliance.
If Yuan Shao had unified the land of Hebei at this time, Cao Cao might not consider competing with him when he had many soldiers and generals in the three counties and was strong. But now Yuan Shao has temporarily lost the battle for hegemony in Hebei, and he is currently
The relationship with Han Fu, Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu, these princes whose power cannot be underestimated, is very tense. Sometimes this tension may even have a greater impact than the relationship between enemies like Lu Bu and Yuan Shao.
What's more, Yuan Shu, who can best support him, is now being forced into a panic by Sun Ce, Wang Lang, Liu Yao and others. Moreover, judging from his recent behavior, I am afraid that he has a lot of heart. He may not be as strong in supporting his clan brother as he was last time.
Yuan Yi's own survival was very difficult, not to mention that Cao Cao had made many preparations for this but did not use them one by one. Therefore, if Yuan Shao still wanted to compete with Cao Cao, failure was almost a doomed outcome.
Originally, everyone was still here just to wait for the princes to gather slowly, but now Lu Bu has arrived. If there is no accident on Ma Teng's side, no one will come, so the princes' alliance can officially begin.
Cao Cao consciously assumed the role of leader and brought everyone to the Wei County government office hall, which was used for alliance meetings.
At this time, all the princes, including Cao Cao, were sitting in two rows of guest seats, and the seats were arranged according to the strength and confidence of each party, intentionally or unintentionally. At this time, Yuan Shao, as the host, naturally sat on the main seat honestly and politely. Everyone also
There was no objection, but when he looked at the princes with different expressions, his eyes were filled with strange colors.
At this moment, a bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and even he was almost shocked - it can be said that among the princes in the world who can pose a threat to him, except Dong Zhuo, basically all are here.
, and Dong Zhuo is after all a national traitor who is the public enemy of the world. No matter how strong he is, Yuan Shao will not be afraid; these people here can dominate most of the power in the world, even if they are united now, they will not be afraid.
But there is no guarantee that he will not become an important enemy in the future, especially Cao Cao. He is now more and more wary of him, but they are all here now. In his own territory, he can do whatever he wants. If he kills them all,
No one will know, and after their death, the forces behind them will either let no one lead them and cause civil strife, or they will take over their own affairs, as long as Dong Zhuo is not allowed to take over and increase their strength.
Yuan Shao felt excited just thinking about it, and his throat seemed to be a little thirsty, but soon, these thoughts were finally cut off rationally.
He couldn't tell about the others. But there was Lu Bu here, and he also recognized the big yellow-faced man following Lu Bu. He was the military commander who fought alongside Lu Bu at Hulao Pass. His superior strength was not inferior to that of his subordinate Wen Chou—
-Of course this is the kind
Illusion, but Yuan Shao has always had this illusion; and Yuan Shao, the military commander around Cao Cao, has never seen him take action. But with Cao Cao's temperament, Yuan Shao would not believe him if he could really trust him with his life. There is only one explanation for this.
That is something else
This is also because Wei County is relatively remote in Wei County, and Yuan Shao is not very easy to control. It is also close to Yanzhou, and that part of the territory happens to be occupied by Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao believed that once he showed the slightest intention to take action, the other party would definitely notice it. Not to mention the hidden attacks, just the presence of Lu Bu was enough to deter him from taking any rash action. Who knows what he will do next
Before the attack was successful, was it possible that Lu Bu had already dismembered him?
In the past two or three years in Hebei, Yuan Shao has matured a lot. Originally, he might have been just a capable minister above the temple, but he still had great shortcomings in terms of temperament and courage. Especially his strong background made him almost a
Everything went smoothly until he met Lu Bu, the evil star destined to be the same. He suffered many hardships at his hands, but it was not without benefits. At least now, he is not like this time in history, who was headstrong and self-willed and less resourceful and more decisive.
.
Although Tian Feng was punished by him many times, he would always be released again soon, because he knew Tian Feng's benefits and his loyalty, and when he thought about his current situation, he would be reluctant to let him go.
At this time, he will be very envious of Lu Bu. He has counselors such as Jia Xu and Chen Gong under him. He also envies Cao Cao. He has Guo Jia, Xi Lue, Cheng Yu and others under him, and the power of these counselors has already followed.
These two princes
Gradually he became famous all over the world, especially Guo Jia, who acted in the most high-profile manner. Yuan Shaoyuan had also heard of his fame in the north. He also envied the friendship between Cao Cao and Guo Jia, but he knew that he would never have it.
.
"Everyone..." The person who spoke was not Yuan Shao, who was currently sitting in the main seat, as he was wandering in his thoughts, but Cao Cao, who was sitting first on the lower left.
There was pain on his face, as if he was stating a blatant crime, "Everyone sitting here today can be said to be my loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. I can only lament that the Han Dynasty has been bullied by villains recently, and there are people in the court.
The traitors in the country are in trouble, the emperor is under threat, and the clan is in silence. We are full of enthusiasm, but we have no choice but to deal with the uncertainties of the world. The previous alliance to conquer the traitors in the country wanted to eliminate the traitors and serve the Han Emperor, but we did not want to be slapped on the head and ended in a disastrous defeat."
When Cao Cao mentioned 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 came to participate in the alliance meeting calmly, this does not mean that everyone's vigilance and suspicion of him will weaken.
Maybe he has indeed broken with Dong Zhuo, but the trauma he has caused them will not be easily erased. This will take time and Lu Bu to make sufficient contributions.
Of course, Lu Bu's face did not change at all, and he looked like he was listening attentively. Yuan Shao had to shake his head and lamented that this person was difficult to deal with.
Cao Cao continued: "However, we also dealt a heavy blow to the Dong thief. This has shown that alliance is the right way to deal with Dong Zhuo. However, the last defeat was due to various reasons, but this time we have
Learn from the past, as long as we don’t repeat the same mistakes
, we work together to fight against the enemy, and I believe that we will be able to accomplish our goal in one battle and wipe out the traitors!" (To be continued.
