Great Wei Nengchen

It took a lot of hard work for Liu Bei to appear here. After receiving financial support from the Liang family in Ji County, he immediately tried his best. First, he got a small official position in the Pingyuan Order, and then began to recruit soldiers and horses, stockpile grass and grain, Finally, a team of more than a thousand people was pulled up. Although it was a little weak, it was because his team was not good enough. Then he got into the team of Beiping prefect Gongsun Zan through his classmate relationship, and finally came to Chenliu to join the princes' team. The alliance, but with his official position and strength, he can only participate as a small general, but even so, Liu Bei is very happy!

In a sense, this alliance is a gathering of the princes to carve up the world. No matter what their status is, as long as they can enter this big account, it is equivalent to having an entry ticket to participate in the carve-up, and those free people The local forces outside of this alliance will also lose the qualification to compete for the world at the same time.

"My lords! Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, the treacherous Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor and killed the princes, making people and gods angry. If this thief is not eliminated, the great man will never have peace!" After drinking for three rounds, Cao Cao, the host, stood up first and put The necessity of this alliance was discussed again, which can be regarded as a unified thought.

"It's our duty to support the Han family!" The princes at the meeting suddenly roared, anyway, this kind of political slogan that does not require money is not for nothing.As for whether it will be done, only the devil knows.

"Okay! You are all loyal ministers and good generals of the Han Dynasty, but a snake without a head can't do it. If we want to help the Han Dynasty and fight against the Dong bandits, we still need to elect a leader to unify orders!" Cao Cao still had his usual style, talking sharply One turn, straight to the point.

"Wow!... Brush!" There was a murmur in the big tent at first, and then fell into a strange silence, except for the crackling of the bonfire, there was no other sound!

The crusade against Dong Zhuo was actually a political gamble. Since these princes were able to come to the alliance, they naturally figured out the seriousness of the relationship. Even those who are relatively dull, there must be counselors around them for detailed analysis. But now that the Han Dynasty is in decline and Dong Zhuo is monopolizing power, the purpose of the princes to attack Dong Zhuo is not for the Han Dynasty, but to snatch the power from Dong Zhuo and hold it in their own hands, and these people will definitely hold on tighter , and even more desperate!

As the lord of the princes, once he succeeds in seeking Dong, not only the reputation, power, and prestige can all be taken as his own, but also has a legitimate binding force on the princes of all towns and towns in the world, becoming the real No.1 in the world. These capitals, at worst, can be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and rank among the three princes. If the destiny changes, it is not impossible to go one step further and become the Ninth Five-Year Plan!

Let me ask, with such power, such temptation, and the position of the leader, who wouldn't want to do it?

But there is only one seat. Although everyone wants it, there are only a handful of people who are qualified, capable, and ambitious to take it. Who will it end up with?

China has had a tradition of feudal alliances since ancient times. Since Duke Huan of Qi's "nine feudal vassals unite the world", there has been a special system for electing the leader of the alliance. Simply put, it is: Merit is judged by meritorious service, and nobility is judged by meritorious service!

The word "gong" nominally refers to the contributions of the princes to the country, but secretly refers to hard power. How can a prince make great contributions to the country without thousands of troops in hand?

Whoever has the biggest fist is the well-deserved boss. This is the method of electing the leader of the ancient vassal alliance. It is simple, direct, reasonable, and most importantly, effective!

At this time, another problem came out. What should we do if the princes of the alliance have similar strengths and no one can occupy an overwhelming advantage?

Then we have to show everyone's titles and official positions to see who has the highest rank and the oldest qualifications, and whoever is the leader; Sitting in the leader's seat will also be very uncomfortable, without a strong backing, no matter how good the seat is, it will not be safe!

Now that the princes of the eighteen routes are gathered together, is it to discuss merit?Or how about jue?

218. Chapter 218 Who is the leader?

"A meritorious service is judged by meritorious deeds, and nobility is judged by meritorious deeds! This is the great law that has never changed through the ages. We will act according to the law of our ancestors, and we will be invincible!" Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, is a staunch supporter of the traditional system. Just like in his heart, the Han Dynasty should last forever. If even these are shaken, it will be the end of the world.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!Kong Rong's proposal immediately aroused great reactions among the princes. While continuing to cut meat and drink wine, they began to wink at each other frequently. I saw quite a few princes, because of excessive distraction, almost cut off their fingers when cutting meat, it is really difficult for them to use human body language so richly, Xiao Yi even thought, if these people In the 21st century, there are definitely first-class excellent teachers in schools for the deaf. What a great profession!

In the past few years, the interior of the Han Dynasty has been relatively stable. Except for suppressing some scattered Yellow Turban bandits in the states and counties, where did the military exploits come from? If you really want to talk about military exploits?Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Zhang Yang, governor of Bingzhou.

In the Battle of Yanmen Pass, he beheaded [-] soldiers of the Xiongnu army, and even shot and killed Shan Yu-Yu Fuluo, which greatly increased the prestige of the Han Dynasty. This is a military achievement that no one can erase. But everyone unanimously pressed Zhang Yang on him, because he was the legitimate governor of Bingzhou.

With such outstanding military achievements, coupled with the title of governor of Bingzhou, and the hard power of a [-]-strong army, if Zhang Yang really wants to be the leader, he will be a popular candidate!

"So, in terms of military exploits, Zhang Gong is the leader!" Someone among the princes immediately made a proposal. As for whether the intention is good or bad, it is hard to say, because everyone knows that the first piece thrown out The stones are often used for asking directions.

"Leader! No.1 in the world!" These words touched Zhang Yang's heart like thunder. Take a small step, then, then..., but the problem is, I dare not take it!

As soon as the heat in his heart arose, Zhang Yang poured cold water on it himself. The leader of the lords and alliances, this seat is certainly very beautiful, but it is also full of murderous intentions. Once you sit on it, you must carry the banner of "discussing Dong" , when the time comes, others will still have a way out, but as the leader of the alliance, either the future is boundless, or there will be no place to die!

Can you bear such a heavy responsibility by yourself?

Will these rebellious princes obey their command?

The most important thing is that I can deal with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang iron cavalry with my own ability?

Three questions in a row directly knocked Zhang Yang out of the sky, wanting to be promoted, but worried that he didn't have the ability, wanted to give up, but was really reluctant in his heart, it was really hard to make a choice!

What should I do if I have a problem?In desperation, Zhang Yang twisted his neck forcefully even though he had 1 reluctances in his heart, and turned his gaze to Xiao Yi, who was munching on the roast leg of lamb, "If you have any doubts, ask Xiao Lang", this is already Zhang Yang's I'm used to it, even if I'm afraid of Xiao Yi, I have to admit that this enchanting young man's analysis of the world's major events is unrivaled in his precision!

Xiao Yi, who was burying his head in eating meat, immediately felt Zhang Yang's enthusiastic and expectant eyes. Originally, he just wanted to eat meat and drink well without saying a word, but now it seems that he can't do it. There is a kind of person like this, even if No matter how low-key you are, you will still be the focus of attention.

I didn't intend to seek wealth and honor, but wealth and honor forced people to come!This is the self-deprecation of the luck-defying.

I didn't intend to provoke right and wrong, but right and wrong rushed forward!This is our poor Xiao Yi children's shoes!

A strange scene appeared in the big tent. Everyone stared at Zhang Yang, wanting to see his reaction, but Zhang Yang stared at Xiao Yi, waiting for an answer; Everyone's eyes were drawn to his head, so Xiao Yi could only wave the meat cleaver in his hand, as if chasing flies away, God is pitiful, this is early spring and February, how can there be flies to chase away!

On the other side, after a long breath, a big rock in Zhang Yang's heart fell to the ground. He stood up very humbly, first made a salute with his fists in his arms, and then said in a tired voice, "Thank you, my lords! Wrong love, but this official is fifty-two this year, he is very old, and he has no virtue at all. How dare he take on the task of "supporting the Han Dynasty"? You still recommend a young and strong man to be the general manager of the coalition army Leader, if this old man can help you one or two, that's enough, it's enough!"

If you can't do it, let it go!Zhang Yang could think about it, and immediately used his 52-year-old 'advanced age' as an excuse to push it out. Not only did he get out of trouble, but he could also gain the reputation of being 'modest', right?

"Mr. Zhang is a man of integrity. I admire him so much. Come to offer a toast to Mr. Zhang. He is truly a minister of the great man!" Some people who wanted to compete for the position of leader were relieved, and they toasted to celebrate. Big hats flying all over the sky...

With Zhang Yang's withdrawal, the argument of merit is no longer valid, so the next step is to fight for the title and family background!

At this time, if anyone among the princes was the happiest, it would be Yuan Shu, because fighting for his family background was his forte!

In today's Han world, which gentry has the most prominent status?Naturally, it is the Yuan family of 'Four Generations and Three Dukes', so who has the highest status in the Yuan family?Naturally, it was Yuan Shu who was the son-in-law. By analogy, who else is more qualified to be the leader of the alliance besides him, Yuan Shu?

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu's heart was filled with joy. In a daze, he saw himself sitting on the high position of the leader of the princes and alliance, commanding thousands of troops, attacking Luoyang, killing the Dong thief, sweeping the world, and after that..., All the people return to their hearts, the world supports them, and they reach a higher level... Hehe!

Suppressing the joy in his heart, although Yuan Shu felt that he was sure of the position of the leader, but now he still needs someone to come out and shout for him, just like persuading the emperor to ascend the throne. The demeanor of the children is not.

"But who can I ask to push this for me? This person's status can't be too low, and his reputation can't be too small..." Yuan Shu's eyes flickered among the princes, and he began to look for the suitable candidate. Soon, One person fell into his eyes - Sun Jian, Sun Wentai!

Sun Jian is the prefect of Changsha, and Yuan Shu is the prefect of Nanyang. The two live next to each other and have a long history of friendship. Moreover, Nanyang is a rich place with a lot of money and food, while Changsha's people's livelihood is poor because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago. When the princes raised their troops, Yuan Shu gave Sun Jian a lot of material help, including money, food, armor, and weapons. As the saying goes, Sun Jian owes Yuan Shu a big favor. He should also support him at this time. Yuan Shu!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu began to wink and gesture frequently, implying that Sun Jian would immediately stand up and recommend himself as the leader of the alliance. Unfortunately, when Yuan Shu's eyes were sore, Sun Jian was still sitting there drinking fine wine and eating barbecue. There is no reaction at all. As for the reason--political insensitivity!

Sun Jian was good at martial arts since he was a child, he was skilled in bow and horse, he was brave and fierce, and he always took the lead in battles, and he was not afraid of death. It can be said that he is a perfect soldier. Such a person is absolutely invincible on the battlefield. It is a pity that this alliance of princes is not only a military battle, but also a political battle, and Sun Jian is a complete retarded politically. A soldier who does not care about politics is a good soldier, but not a good leader , not a good partner!

"Listen to me, my lords. Now that the princes are united to discuss Dong, the position of the lord is a matter of success or failure. People who are not excellent in culture, intelligence and martial arts are not allowed to take the position!" Just as the princes were in frequent contact in private, Cao Cao suddenly stood up holding his wine glass. Standing up, everyone was taken aback immediately, especially those who had ambitions for the position of leader, they became even more uneasy.

Since ancient times, there has been a rule in the alliance of princes, that is, the "host" is often the best candidate for the leader, because only the leader has the qualification and prestige, and he summons the princes from all over the world to come to the alliance on his own site. Dong Daqi is Cao Cao, and Chenliu County is Cao Cao's base. By analogy, Cao Cao is indeed qualified to be the leader.

What's more, when it comes to Wentao Wulue and the ability to command troops in battle, Cao Cao is undoubtedly the strongest among the princes. On this point, he is as proud as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers. Cao Cao is far away, if Cao Cao really intends to earn a position for himself, the chance of success is definitely very high.

"If you want to achieve great things, you must have a good reputation. Now when it comes to reputation and prestige, the Yuan family has 'four generations and three princes', with disciples and former officials all over the world, so they should be the top of the world!" Cao Cao secretly described the ugly appearance of all the princes Keeping it in mind, he threw himself out in the words, instead he wholeheartedly promoted the Yuan family.

Cao Cao knew very well that it was more than enough to be the leader with his own ability, but unfortunately, his background was not good and his prestige was not enough!

Who is he, Cao Cao? After eunuchs, his father Cao Song was the adopted son of an eunuch, and he stinks for eight hundred miles against the wind. It will definitely be demolished behind the scenes, and the alliance will inevitably fall apart. This is by no means what Cao Cao wants. Since he can't sit on it, he should simply be noble and take the initiative to give the position of the leader of the alliance to the Yuan family. However, it is not a free gift. Cao Cao also had his own plan.

Knowing that there is nothing to be done, then simply retreat and strive for the greatest benefit for yourself. This is playing the political card, and Cao Cao is undoubtedly a master in this regard.

"The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family have unparalleled prestige, but the position of the leader of the alliance must belong to the Yuan family!" As soon as Cao Cao's proposal came out, the princes immediately discussed, and they supported it overwhelmingly. The Yuan family is the head of the family. Strength is truly incomparable to anyone and any family. Even among the princes present at the meeting, several of them are from the Yuan family. If they don't support the Yuan family, who else can they support?

However, support is support, but the Yuan family has more than one candidate. Don't forget, the Yuan family has two brothers. Who do you support to take the position of leader?

As candidates, brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked at each other, showing strong hostility. In the face of power, brothers and sisters who are not at odds with each other at this moment can't wait to slash each other and let you fight me!

Yuan Shu is so excited now that he wants to kiss Cao Cao in his arms. Who else can there be in the Yuan family? Yu Shuchu, is it possible to let the guy born to that little wife be the leader of the alliance?

"Is he worthy? It's just a slave's seed! My little wife..., no, it was born by a maid..." Glancing at his elder brother Yuan Shao not far away, Yuan Shu was extremely proud. If he had a tail, he would definitely Shake it vigorously, and there will be a big sign on it--Yuan Jiayi is out!

After brushing off the armor on his body, Yuan Shu sat upright, waiting for Cao Cao to say his name, and then ascended to the throne of the leader in the eyes of all the people, showing the demeanor of the son of the Yuan family. At that time, the posture must be handsome and the momentum must be Do you step with your left foot first, or your right foot first? ... Yuan Shu was drooling, falling into boundless lust.

On the other side, Cao Cao's speech continued, "Brother Benchu ​​and I have known each other since childhood, and I know that he is both civil and military, and has a strategy in his chest. He also outspokenly opposed Dong Zhuo when he was in Luoyang, which shows that he is loyal to the country. , so I believe that Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​are none other than Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​as the leader of the alliance!"
