Chapter 795 Leader (Part 1)
Chapter 793: Alliance Leader (Part 1)
Liu Xiu described the battle in Jingbei as a minor friction in just a few words, and also tried to get Qin Hao to release Kou Xun? This is simply nonsense.
At present, Qin Hao is forced to maintain the overall situation of Dong Dong's struggle. He cannot attack Liu Xiu for the time being. However, once the Dong Dong's struggle ends, Qin Hao will definitely let Yue Fei send troops to Nanjun. Then the two sides will fight again, so how can he let Kou Xun go? Go back and do it right with yourself?
Qin Hao also valued Kou Xun, a talented man with both civil and military skills. If he could not be subdued by him, Qin Hao would not take advantage of others even if he was imprisoned for the rest of his life.
Qin Hao looked at Liu Xiu with a hint of ridicule, and said lightly: "I'm sorry, Brother Liu, Kou Xun has already joined the Qin army, so how can we talk about his release?"
With just such a sentence, Liu Xiu suppressed all the remarks he had prepared.
"Is it really?"
A trace of struggle flashed in Liu Xiu's eyes, and then he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Since Kou Xun has surrendered, I will return his family's young one as well."
Qin Hao looked surprised. Liu Xiu knew that Kou Xun had not surrendered yet, but he gave Kou Xun's family to him. Is this trying to please himself?
Still thinking about Kou Xun?
Liu Xiu once again cupped his fists and saluted Qin Hao, and said in a deep voice: "Kou Xun has a great talent. I hope that the Marquis of Qin will put him to good use. I will say goodbye."
Looking at Liu Xiu's resolute departure, Qin Hao somewhat understood why the Yuntai generals and Kou Xun would rather die than betray Liu Xiu. He had shown true emotions to his subordinates.
“Liu Xiu, you are really an opponent that is annoying, but I can’t hate you.” Qin Hao sighed.
At this time, Liu Bowen and Fang Xuanling walked out from the side, their faces a little solemn.
At first they didn't understand why Qin Hao valued Liu Xiu so much, but after meeting today, they finally understood that Liu Xiu was the kind of opponent with unlimited possibilities. If he failed to kill the snake, he would have endless troubles in the future.
Liu Bowen looked at Qin Hao with a serious face and said in a deep voice: "My lord, Liu Xiunai is a hidden dragon. He will definitely become my lord's enemy in the future. I think he should be eliminated as soon as possible."
"That's right, my lord, Liu Xiu must not be allowed to return to Nanjun alive, otherwise there will never be peace in Jingbei in the future." Fang Xuanling said coldly, with fear in his eyes.
A trace of heartbeat flashed in Qin Hao's eyes, and then he said with a wry smile: "Of course I also know this, but Liu Xiu joined the alliance at the right time. If I take action against him at this time, all the princes in the world will How will you look at me?"
A trace of thought flashed in Liu Bowen's eyes, but he smiled and said: "My lord, you don't have to do it yourself. You can use Dong Zhuo's hand to get rid of Liu Xiu."
Fang Xuanling's eyes suddenly lit up and he sneered: "Yes, it is very likely that my lord will be the leader of the alliance this time. Liu Xiu can be the pioneer. Liu Xiu betrayed Dong Zhuo. Once he encounters Liang Jun, he will definitely be defeated." …hey-hey."
Liu Bowen made numerous suggestions after joining Qin Hao's staff. Now he has completely replaced Wang Meng and became Qin Hao's first think tank and Qin Hao's most relied-upon military advisor.
Qin Hao's respect and trust also increased Liu Bowen's workload. After these years of hard work, Liu Bowen's intelligence increased by 1 point, while his politics increased by 2 points, reaching the level of 100 in intelligence and 97 in politics.
Liu Bowen's current five dimensions are: 89 command, 70 force, 100 intelligence, 97 politics, and 95 charm.
After hearing what the two men said, Qin Hao suddenly became enlightened. At the same time, he couldn't help but be glad that these two people were his military advisers, otherwise his road to unification would surely cause countless troubles.
“What the two military advisors said is very true, but the prerequisite for driving the tiger away from the wolf is that it cannot be injured by the tiger, and I must successfully become the leader of the alliance.”
Liu Ji showed a smile that was sure to win, and said: "These days, we have visited various princes one by one on behalf of the lord. Now we have obtained the commitment of more than half of the princes. The position of alliance leader this time must belong to the lord."
“The two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are also wooing the princes, but they started too late, and the lord’s advantage is much greater than theirs, so they will not hinder the lord.” Fang Xuanling added.
Among the 36 princes who arrived this time, in addition to 27 princes who came in person, there were also representatives of 9 princes.
With so many people, it was of course impossible for Qin Hao to go to each one of them in person. Except for the powerful princes like Tao Qian and Liu Yu, Qin Hao, the small princes, all left it to his advisers to lobby. Now more than half of the princes are on Qin Hao's side. Coupled with the natural alliance between Qin, Jin, Wei and Wu, it can be said that there is almost no suspense in the selection of the alliance leader.
Qin Hao was very satisfied with the ability of the two military advisers. He nodded and said with a smile: "I hope there will be no surprises in the leader election tomorrow."
On the other side, after Liu Xiu walked out of the tent, his eyes were full of solemnity and unwillingness.
Liu Xiu didn't expect that Qin Hao would be so afraid. He, a defeated general who didn't even have a county, wouldn't even give him the chance to pay the high price on the spot.
Liu Xiu was even prepared to trade two or three counties with Qin Hao for Kou Xun, but Qin Hao didn't even give him a chance to speak. What does this mean?
Qin Hao was not prepared to let him go from the beginning, and he would never let him grow stronger.
Liu Xiu couldn't help but wonder. Was it the right choice to choose Jingzhou as a place to start his career and to be a neighbor to Qin Hao, a domineering and powerful person?
“No, my choice was not wrong.”
Liu Xiu's eyes flashed with determination, and he whispered to himself: "Every state in the world has its master, and apart from Jingzhou, I have nowhere to go."
Qin Hao's special attention made Liu Xiu feel so desperate that he couldn't even see any hope.
Leaving Dong Zhuo and joining the coalition forces did give Liu Xiu a chance to breathe, but what happened next? There is still no way out.
It is not safe even among the coalition forces.
Liu Xiu could clearly feel that some of the princes except Qin Hao were not friendly to him. Qin Hao was still the most likely prince to serve as the leader of the alliance, and he did not know whether they would deal with him secretly.
Liu Xiu turned his head and looked deeply at Qin Jun's proposition, clenched his fists, and whispered: "Qin Hao, don't think about defeating me easily. One day I will stand in front of you as an equal."
The next day, representatives of the 27th and 9th princes gathered together, naturally for the purpose of selecting the leader of the alliance.
The 27 princes all came in person, so they had nothing to introduce, but the representatives of the 9 princes had to introduce them.
This time, the representatives of the nine princes, except Qin Jian, who represents Qin Wen, the other eight representatives are:
Zhang Shide, younger brother of Zhang Shicheng;
Chen Youliang’s younger brother Chen Youren;
Gongsun Kang, son of Gongsun Du;
Huang Xie, son of Huang Zu;
Han Xuan’s general Wei Yan;
Ma Teng’s general Pound;
Zhang Ren, the general under Liu Yan;
And Liu Ji's general Cao Shen.
There will be another update in the evening.
