I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 137 Give you a chance, do you use it?
East of Houcheng, Suanzao County.

A high platform of more than ten feet rose from the ground today, and an altar was set up on the platform, where green cattle and white horses were enshrined, and various flags were planted all over the place.The mighty six-way army under the stage, the generals and soldiers stepped down immediately, lined up neatly, and lined up in the style of wild goose wings.

The princes from all walks of life gathered here today, preparing to... choose a leader of the Eastern Route.

Yes, after drinking and singing for many days, they finally remembered what they were here for.So after a discussion, the ceremony was held.

What, without a word, lead the troops to rush over and fight Dong thief?
Are you kidding me, everyone is a celebrity, a cultural person who has read poetry and books.How can such an important and romantic thing as a war be so rude and reckless, of course it has to be done slowly and step by step.

Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun County, can be said to be the initiator of the campaign against Dong. He forged secret letters from the Taifu, Situ, and Sikong to send to the states, suggesting an alliance.He believes that the position of the leader of the East Route this time is none other than himself.

However, a celebrity should have the demeanor of a celebrity, and be more modest.

Immediately he said: "Everyone, we are meeting here to discuss Dong Daji's plan. The first thing is to elect a leader who has both political integrity and ability. As the commander in chief of our journey, who is competent?"

After finishing speaking, he lowered his eyelids with a smile, waiting for the people present to call his name.

Unexpectedly, Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, immediately spoke up and said, "Isn't the lord already designated as a charioteer general? We are ordinary people, and we only need to wait for the general's order."

Qiao Mao immediately felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly, forced a smile and said: "Brother Gongshan, you can't say that. Even if we all listen to the orders of General Cheqi, this place is located in an important place, and we need a leader to take care of everything. The armies are prepared for any eventuality."

"According to Qiao, brother Gongshan is very suitable."

"Everyone present is a county general, but you are the envoy of a state. Besides, you are the nephew of the old Taiwei Liu. Although you are an official appointed by Dong Thief, when it comes to status, who can compare to you Honorable?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone felt as uncomfortable as eating flies: Among the people present with high official positions, which one was not appointed by Dong thief?If you have to pull out the general from the cripple, it means that you Qiaomao took the lead in moving to the Kanto.

Liu Dai was even angrier when he heard the words, and looked at Qiao Mao with a look of unkindness in his eyes, and said: "Liu does not dare to accept this job. In terms of background, who can we wait for compared to Brother Bo Ye?"

Yuan Yi was a weak Confucian scholar, and he didn't even wear armor when he attended such occasions, but still wore a sleeved gown.Hearing that Liu Dai recommended him, he immediately shook his head and waved his hands: "Brother Fool, you have little morals, and you can't bear this job. I'm ashamed, ashamed."

"Brother Boye, why should you be humble?"

Knowing that Yuan Yi could not hold this position, Liu Dai praised him even more, but he did not want Qiao Mao to succeed: "Brother Boye is a man of the world, he has the ability to work hard, he is talented at the top, he is famous for his things, and his talent and learning are indistinguishable."

"What's more, Boye is Yuan Benchu's elder brother. Since my younger brother is a chariot general in Hanoi, how can he be inferior to us here?"

It is true that Yuan Yicai has learned from others, and he is also proud of it.

But he was more compelled, knowing that fighting has nothing to do with talent and learning, so he still declined: "No, Brother Yu really doesn't understand military affairs. You can take this position, I will do as I am told."

"Since that's the case, how about brother Meng Zhuo being the leader?"

Liu Dai threw the stone to Zhang Miao again, and said, "The Suanzao is under Chen Liu's rule. We will gather here today and listen to the orders of the host."

Zhang Miao is one of the "eight cooks" of the party members, with a high reputation and a good friend with Yuan Shao.In addition, he and his brother Zhang Chao have a total force of nearly [-], making them one of the largest forces among the princes.

But Zhang Miao was not stupid, he immediately shook his head and declined.

Liu Dai gave a few words of comfort, then gave way to Zhang Chao, but ignored Qiao Mao.

Zhang Chao did have that thought, but his elder brother shook his head, and he was the youngest among these people, and he knew he would not be able to convince the crowd: "So forget it, just obey orders with peace of mind."

After asking one by one, even if he didn't ask himself, no matter how stupid Qiao Mao was, he could see that Liu Dai was targeting him.

Just as he was about to speak, one of them couldn't help but raised his voice: "I'm going to raise righteous soldiers to punish the riots, and now that the masses are united, why are you so hesitant to choose another leader of the Eastern Route!"

"Now that Dong Zhuo's east of the river has not been settled, it is a good opportunity for us to enter Luoyang. Otherwise, after Dong Zhuo pacifies the east of the river, he will rely on the royal family, occupy the old capital, and face the world from the east.

"At this moment, if we don't lead our troops to the west and win the world in one battle, how can we resist after Dong Zhuo's foundation is deep?"

Everyone looked around and saw Cao Cao, General Xing Fen Wu, his complexion immediately became very ugly: Man, are you teaching us how to do things?
After an eunuch, does he have that qualification?

Without waiting for everyone to retort, another person immediately spoke up and said: "Meng De's words are very true, gentlemen, don't hesitate anymore! If you really want to revive the Han Dynasty, why should you care about the leader of the Eastern Route!"

Everyone glanced again and saw that it was Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei.

At this time, their expressions were no longer good-looking or not, and Liu Dai became more directly angry from embarrassment: "Since Bao Xiang is so far-sighted and sympathetic to Meng De, how about the two of them leading the subordinates as vanguards and leading us to kill Dong thief?"

Bao Xin has a strong temperament, he doesn't want to listen to such yin and yang, so he immediately wants to draw his sword.Seeing this, Cao Cao grabbed his arm quickly with sharp eyesight: "Absolutely not!..."

Qiao Mao didn't even bother to open his mouth, and said, "What's wrong with Xiang Bao, could it be that he can't wait any longer, and wants to fight to the death with Bandit Dong? Come here, serve wine, and have a good time with Xiang Bao!..."

Hehe, I'll give you a chance, are you good at it?

Seeing that a meeting turned out like this, there should be an accident if there is no accident, the host Zhang Miao had to come out quickly to make peace.Before he could open his mouth, he suddenly saw an order to report: "Master, Dong thief is here!"

It didn't take three sentences, just one sentence made the famous people present blow up their nests.

"Dong, why is it so fast that Dong's bandits marched into the army?"

"I haven't elected a leader yet, why did he come here?"

"Sure enough, the frontier warriors don't talk about benevolence and justice at all. How can they fight without declaring it?"

"This despicable Xiliang person doesn't talk about martial arts!"

"..."

Seeing that everyone panicked like the little bitch who was raped, Cao Cao and Bao Xin were about to explode.It was Bao Xin who was decisive, and shouted at the messenger and asked, "How many troops did Bandit Dong send, and where have they arrived?"

"Just now, after passing Guangwu Mountain, we are stationed in Bawang's Old City."

Chuan Ling didn't expect to say a word to himself, and he hurriedly explained like a weasel entering a chicken coop, "As for the military strength... there are about 500 troops, but only [-] people came to fight."

"Take a fight?" Cao Cao was stunned.

"500 people?" Bao Xin was also taken aback.

When the celebrities heard that there were only 500 people, they were relieved at the time, and then felt their faces were burning hot.

Liu Dai immediately forcibly held his respect, and said: "Take, fight generals, it has existed since ancient times. Can any of you have a strong general under his command to fight, kill the general and capture the flag, and shake the morale of our army?"

"Brother Gongshan is right. Bandit Dong is so arrogant and conceited. He is so reckless. He must be smitten. I heard that Brother Gongshan has countless generals. Can you choose one of them to fight and strengthen your army?"

Qiao Mao seized the opportunity and turned against the general: You proposed to fight, of course you have to fight with all your generals.Could it be that it is useless to give you a chance?
Liu Dai was furious immediately, and said, "Qiao Yuanwei, why didn't you send your generals to fight?"

He was actually quite puzzled, after all, the meeting was held well, and he said a word, and Qiao Mao started to take a strange look at himself.

As for sending your subordinates to fight, heh... I have no grievances with you Qiao Yuanwei, why do you think I'm an idiot?
The more Qiao Mao looked at Liu Dai, the more he disliked Liu Dai, and was about to confront him again, but unexpectedly the messenger spoke again, begging: "My lords, let's go to the gate of the camp and listen to Dong Bandit's scolding."

"Calling the battle?" Cao Cao was a little puzzled: Since he came to fight, isn't it normal to scold the battle?

"But, that bandit Dong, I don't know where he learned the filthy language, and he scolded so badly." Speaking of this, the messenger couldn't help but clenched his fists and said, "I'm waiting for the soldiers on the front line. Go up and fight him!"
