Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 42
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are discussing the alliance in the commander's tent.

"Meng De, which princes have not arrived yet?" Yuan Shao asked Cao Cao.

"Well, there was a news report just now. Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, and Wu Shun, the prefect of Wuling, came together. It should be here now. Now only the prefect of Beiping, Gongsun Zan, has not arrived! But I think it will be here soon." Cao Cao thought for a while and replied. .

"After the vassals of the [-]th Route have arrived, they can send troops to attack Luoyang. But this time, we must have a leader to command the battle together. I don't know if Meng De has a suitable leader in mind," Yuan Shao said.

Hearing this, Cao Cao was very upset, isn't it you, the fourth generation and third son of the Yuan family? Even the leader of the alliance didn't say it clearly, and he was recommended by others in a hypocritical manner.However, Cao Cao's palace is very deep, he thought for a while and replied: "I am afraid that no one is more suitable for the position of leader."

"Hahaha...Meng De is humble. In fact, Meng Delai is suitable to be the leader." Yuan Shao was very happy. Since Cao Cao said so, it meant that he would not compete with him for the leader, so he flattered him a few words.Except for being a little worried about Cao Cao, Yuan Shao didn't take it to heart.Growing up together, he can still see Cao Cao's ability.

Yuan Shao is a representative of the aristocratic family, and he wants to be the leader of the alliance.Only being the leader of the alliance can reveal the identity and status of the Yuan family.And Cao Cao also has the heart to be the leader of the alliance, but he knows that his strength and reputation are not enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Yuan Shao.If he became the leader of the alliance, the princes would not listen to his orders. Instead of thanking him, it would be better to be a favor and help Yuan Shao to sit on the position of the leader of the alliance.

"My lord, Lord Sun, the prefect of Changsha, and Lord Wu, the prefect of Wuling, please see me!" A soldier came in to report.

"Oh, as soon as Meng De finished speaking, people arrived. How about going to greet him together?"

At this time, Yuan Shao had already put on the style of the leader and invited Cao Cao to go to the camp gate to meet Wu Shun and Sun Jian.

"Okay, let's go and have a look together." Cao Cao replied.

Wu Shun and Sun Jian were chatting at Yuan Shao's camp. The two talked about the past and the present, and even discussed major events in the world.Wu Shun was impressed by Sun Jian's family background, and Sun Jian was amazed by Wu Shun's erudition of the past and the present.When the two discussed the marching formation, Wu Shun would put forward some novel ideas from time to time, which benefited Sun Jian a lot.

"Hahaha...General Sun, General Wu, you have heard of your name for a long time!" Yuan Shao greeted Wu Shun and others with a big laugh as soon as he left the camp gate.

"I kept you generals waiting for a long time." Sun Jian bowed his hands to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and said.

Wu Shun also saluted, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao hurriedly returned the salute.

"This is the prefect of Wuling, Wu Shun, Mr. Wu. I can't wait for 800 people to subdue the Wuxi barbarians. I can't wait for this ability."

Cao Cao looked at Wu Shun and said in surprise.Because Wu Shun is younger than them and has no background.It is not easy to be the prefect of Wuling relying on one's own strength.Moreover, 800 people quelled the Wuxi Man, and Cao Cao could only admire this kind of literary and martial arts.

"General Cao has won the award, and the Wuxi barbarians also want to live a stable life. I just gave them the life they want, and I can't talk about subduing them." Wu Shun said politely.

"The two generals, please follow me into the camp. Let's discuss the matter of sending troops." Yuan Shao said, as an elite member from a wealthy family, Yuan Shao looked down on Wu Shun, a wild and high-ranking person.He was very polite to Sun Jian, but his politeness to Wu Shun was mostly acting.

Following Yuan Shao into the handsome tent, Wu Shun had the opportunity to take a good look at the two of them, and saw that Yuan Shao was born with a handsome appearance, quite heroic, and the short beard under his jaw added a touch of domineering.On the other hand, Cao Cao, compared with Yuan Shao, who looks dignified, looks short in stature, and his originally rather domineering face, because of his dark skin, has also lost a bit of air.

"May I ask General Yuan, are the princes from all walks of life here? Are they going to send troops together or choose one person to command?"

Wu Shun asked the question Yuan Shao wanted to answer most.

"General Gongsun, the prefect of Beiping, has not yet arrived, and he will arrive tomorrow. At that time, the princes from all walks of life will make an alliance with each other, elect a leader to preside over the overall situation, and command the armies from all walks of life. Luoyang will definitely be defeated and the Dong thief will be wiped out!" Yuan Shao was a little impassioned said.

"It is necessary for a leader to issue orders in a unified way. I wonder who General Yuan thinks is qualified for the position of leader?"

Wu Shun couldn't understand Yuan Shao's complacent look, and the way he spoke just now seemed that he was the leader of the alliance.I asked this on purpose to block him.

"Uh... the leader of the alliance is naturally selected by various princes, and Shao can't jump to conclusions."

Yuan Shao is also smart, knowing that his performance just now was a little too much, but now Wu Shun has a very bad impression on him.

"Oh, Shun thinks that apart from General Yuan, no one is more suitable to be the leader of the alliance."

Wu Shun's attitude took a 180-degree turn, which made Yuan Shao's mood turn from rain to sun in an instant.

"How can Shao Hede, the position of the leader needs to be agreed by the princes of all walks of life!"

It turns out that this guy still has some eyesight and knows to support me, Yuan Shao was very happy.It seems that Wu Shun also supports him.The position of the lord belongs to him.

After some unnutritive talk, Wu Shun and Sun Jian said goodbye and went back to camp.After leaving Yuan Shao's camp, Sun Jian said, "Your brother, do you like Yuan Shao?"

"The Yuan family has four generations and three princes, with disciples and old officials all over the world. Only when Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, will the feudal lords challenge Dong to form a climate. The vassals who participate in the feuding against Dong will definitely increase their fame." Wu Shun explained.

"But if we really want to fight, brother Wentai must see the situation clearly before making plans."

"That's for sure. I, Sun Jian, are not someone who is still at the mercy of others. If you want to plot against me, let him taste the power of Gudian Dao!"

Sun Jian also knew that Wu Shun was kindly reminding him, so he accepted this feeling in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm.

The next day, Gongsun Zan brought Bai Ma Yicong to Suanzao.The princes finally gathered together to discuss the matter of sending troops.Someone chose Beihai Kong Rong as the leader because Kong Rong was a descendant of the sage Confucius and had great appeal.More people chose to elect Yuan Shao as the leader, because the Yuan family has great achievements and the most influential in the world.Moreover, Yuan Shao brought a full [-] soldiers and horses, more than the princes.And I heard that Yuan Shao has two powerful generals, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, among thousands of troops, taking the head of a general is like picking something out of a bag!
In the end, the princes from all walks of life unanimously agreed that Yuan Shao was the leader of the coalition army and led the coalition army to attack Dong Zhuo!
On the same day, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was held, and the princes of the [-]th Route formed an alliance with blood, and worked together to support the Han Dynasty and crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shao climbed onto the high platform and recited the oath written by the counselor once, and it was considered a ceremony.

Yuan Shao, who became the leader of the coalition army, named himself General He Qiqi, and also awarded the titles of generals to all the princes.

The next day after the end of the alliance of princes, we marched towards Sishuiguan!
