Chapter 798: Leader (final)
Chapter 798: Alliance Leader (Final)
Chapter 796: Alliance Leader (End)
“Everyone, I suggest you take Liu Xiu directly…”
"enough."
Before Yuan Shu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Hao because Qin Hao couldn't stand it anymore.
It was obviously Yuan Shu who humiliated Liu Xiu in public, but not only was Liu Xiu calmly defused, but Yuan Shu humiliated himself. This shows that Yuan Shu and Liu Xiu are not rivals in terms of magnitude at all.
After being made trouble by Yuan Shu, Liu Xiu's situation was much better than before.
Originally, Liu Xiu was treated indifferently by all the princes, but now not only has his image in the hearts of the princes been changed, but his isolation and helplessness have also been changed.
But if Yuan Shu is allowed to continue causing trouble, God knows what else he will stir up?
Qin Hao looked at Yuan Shu and said coldly: "Don't you think it's embarrassing enough? Why don't you go back to your place?"
Qin Hao's elder tone made Yuan Shu almost vomit blood with anger, and the ridicule in the eyes of the princes also made Yuan Shu want to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
After calming down, Yuan Shu realized that he was really irrational before. Now that the situation was not good for him, it was better not to get entangled, so he walked back to his seat with a cold face.
After all the thirty-six princes and representatives were in place, Qin Hao, the initiator, immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I have traveled thousands of miles to come to the alliance not to quarrel. If you have personal grudges, please try to restrain yourself. one time."
After saying this, Qin Hao glanced at Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu almost cursed his mother in anger when he saw this.
I'm feeling angry inside. Don't go too far!
Qin Haohe is not Liu Xiu. Yuan Shu dared to deliberately make things difficult for Liu Xiu, but he never dared to stand up to Qin Hao. The beating he received in Luoyang is still fresh in his mind.
Liu Xiu saw that Yuan Shu was so arrogant in front of him, but he didn't even dare to fart in front of Qin Hao, and he couldn't help but feel even more contempt for Yuan Shu's bullying and fear of force.
Yuan Gongli, if you are not from the Yuan family, I will kill you in minutes.
Liu Xiu thought bitterly in his heart, and after thinking about it, the depression of being humiliated just now was relieved a lot.
Cao Cao, as the host, stood up and said: "Everyone, the last time we and the Eighteenth Route Alliance met, it was to kill the traitor Xiang Yu, and this time, the thirty-sixth Route princes gathered together, just to kill the Dong traitor and save the country. Return to Your Majesty.
The meeting of the thirty-six princes is an unprecedented event. It is a major event from ancient times to the present. However, it must be noted that there is no rule without rules. "
As soon as Cao Cao said this, the scene immediately fell silent, waiting for Cao Cao's next words.
“I, Cao Mengde, still said the same thing. I will choose an alliance leader, and we will all obey his command, integrate the strength of the entire army, and destroy the Dong thieves at the minimum cost.”
As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Sun Jian stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Meng De, these words sound very familiar. You seemed to have said the same thing last time, but it does make sense.
The 540,000-strong army is divided into thirty-six groups of princes including us. If they cannot be integrated, they will become a bunch of rabble. How can they be a match for Dong’s thieves and Xiliang’s cavalry? Therefore, it is imperative to elect a leader. "
"well said."
Liu Bei stood up and said seriously: "But who should be the leader of the alliance?"
"Of course the person who contributes the most troops should be in charge." Liu Yu said solemnly.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s eyes fell on Qin Hao. Qin Hao's Qin army sent the most troops this time. If the Jin army is included, Qin Hao's military strength even reached one-fifth of the coalition forces. Therefore, in terms of military strength, Qin Hao must be the leader of the alliance.
As expected, as soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, Kong Rong immediately said: "The Marquis of Qin is indeed the best candidate to lead the alliance."
“That’s right, among all of you, no one dares to say that he is stronger than the Marquis of Qin in terms of military use, right?” Lu Kang said with a smile.
While all the princes were flattering him, Qin Hao looked like it had nothing to do with him and was sipping tea calmly.
Qin Hao has made all preparations, so even if he doesn't say a word, the princes will still push him to the position of leader, and there is no need to do anything extra.
When Yuan Shu saw Liu Yu recommending Qin Hao as the leader of the alliance, he felt as sick as if he had eaten shit. He said quietly: "Mr. Yu, wasn't that what you said when we met last time? This time it has become a matter of outnumbered troops." Where is it?”
Liu Yu glanced at Yuan Shu indifferently and said calmly: "Last time was the last time, and this time is this time. How can we generalize?"
"really."
Tao Qian nodded and said: "Last time we had 18 princes and an army of 200,000, but this time it was 36 princes and an army of 540,000. The number of troops has more than doubled, so with It is indeed more appropriate to use more soldiers to control fewer soldiers.”
Yuan Shu didn't want to see Qin Hao as the leader of the alliance, but he really didn't have any good ideas, so he gave Zhao Kuangyin a look of "you go ahead".
Zhao Kuangyin immediately smiled bitterly after realizing it. He has almost become Yuan Shu's nanny these years, and he has only done some stupid things to wipe Yuan Shu's butt. At his best, he is also the governor of a county and a prince?
Although Zhao Kuangyin was extremely dissatisfied with this, he had no way to do it. Who said that the Yuan family single-handedly supported him? The Yuan family gave him everything, but they could also take it back.
"Liu Xiu can break away from Dong Zhuo, and I can definitely break away from Yuan Shu."
A trace of determination flashed in Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, and he secretly said: "No, it's not the right time yet. My foundation is still too shallow and I need to continue to accumulate. Otherwise, I will be isolated by the princes like Liu Xiu."
Under Yuan Shu's urging, Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath and stood up, saying in a deep voice: "I think it is inappropriate to select the alliance leader based on the number of troops. After all, the official position of the Marquis of Qin is just that of a prefect, and he is too young. I think the leader of the alliance should be someone with high moral character."
Seeing some of the princes nodding, Zhao Kuangyin immediately struck while the iron was hot and continued: "The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family have disciples and former officials all over the world. The original prince was the state shepherd. He also attacked the Yellow Turban, defeated the Ming Dynasty, and executed Xiang Yu. He all made great achievements. With his military exploits, he is the best candidate for alliance leader.”
"You're right. The Marquis of Qin is indeed too young. How can he cover all the facts? He has both moral integrity and talent. He is indeed the best candidate for the leader of the alliance."
Some princes agreed, and when Yuan Shao heard this, he glanced at Zhao Kuangyin in surprise. He did not expect that this brother-in-law who was close to his younger brother would come to praise him.
Yuan Shu's face became even more gloomy. He also wanted to be the leader of the alliance, but he didn't expect that Zhao Kuangyin favored Yuan Shao instead of himself.
Zhao Kuangyin knew something was wrong when he saw Yuan Shu's expression, and he couldn't help but feel even more depressed.
As far as your own situation is concerned, don’t you have some ideas in your mind about whether you can become the leader of the alliance?
Once a disagreement arises, it cannot be resolved in a few words. The princes divided into two factions cannot convince anyone, so they have to resort to voting as a last resort.
Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Yu, Tao Qian, Kong Rong, Gongsun Zan, Liu Xiu, Qin Jian, etc., a total of 20 princes and representatives, all voted for Qin Hao.
Fourteen princes including Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang, Song Jiang, and Zhao Kuangyin voted for Yuan Shao, while two princes, Yuan Yi and Kong Min, voted for Yuan Shu accounting for 2 votes.
Among the thirty-six princes, Qin Hao has 20 votes, Yuan Shao has 14 votes, and Yuan Shu has 2 votes.
The combined votes of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were not as large as those of Qin Hao. Qin Hao was elected as the leader of the Thirty-sixth Route Alliance with an absolute advantage.
