Chapter 417: Intrigue (Part II)
The book is picked up again.
Everyone in the big tent was not stupid, and after hearing Cao Cao's words, they all reacted instantly.
After coming back to their senses, they all looked at Yuan Shao with angry eyes, because Yuan Shao had treated them like fools just now!
Even Han Fu, who was supported by the Yuan family, glared at Yuan Shao angrily.
Although he supported Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, he couldn't accept the fact that Yuan Shao deceived him.
After Yuan Shao saw everyone's gaze, his face turned pale instantly, as if he saw the position of the alliance leader getting farther and farther away, and after a while, he disappeared.
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao, who was pale, smiled slightly, and then said to everyone present: "Everyone, apart from Zai Xia and Ben Chu Brother, who else wants to be the leader of this alliance?" β
As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Yuan Shu in the seat was full of eagerness, and he also wanted to be the leader of the alliance.
Now, Yuan Shao has failed, and their protΓ©gΓ© of the Yuan family will definitely put the price on Yuan Shu's body.
Not only that, but there are more than 50,000 soldiers and horses under Yuan Shu's command at this time, although these soldiers and horses are just goods, but others don't know it!
They had never been to Yuan Shu's barracks at all, so they wouldn't know how vulnerable Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were.
Now, Yuan Shu has the ability to compete with Cao Cao in terms of identity, power, and self-strength.
Therefore, if Yuan Shu wants to compete for the position of alliance leader, there is a good chance of success.
Cao Cao also saw Yuan Shu's strangeness, and he knew that Yuan Shu was not a person who was willing to be ordinary.
Therefore, before Yuan Shu could speak, he blocked his back road: "Brother Highway, have you settled down with the 20,000 soldiers and horses that the hussar general asked him to lend?" β
"......" After hearing Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shu almost lost his breath.
He didn't expect that Cao Cao would be so shameless, secretly changed his concept, and said that the 20,000 soldiers and horses given to him by Li Zhi were his Cao Cao's.
However, he couldn't deny it yet, because those soldiers and horses were indeed handed over to him by Cao Cao's hand, and many people saw them when they handed over the soldiers and horses.
Therefore, even if he denies it, others will not believe it, but will think that he is an ungrateful person.
The most important thing is that after Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shu can no longer compete with Cao Cao for the position of alliance leader.
Because, now Cao Cao is his great benefactor of Yuan Shu, if Yuan Shu plans to compete with Cao Cao for the position of alliance leader, then everyone present will definitely despise him.
Everyone present is the elite of the Han Dynasty, although they are not very good people, but they have one thing in common, that is, they will never be ungrateful!
When your husband is alive, you can be black-bellied, you can be bad, and you can even be called a great villain who burns, kills, and loots.
But you must not be ungrateful!
Even if you are ungrateful, you can't let others know.
Otherwise, the people of the world will despise you forever and ever, and even you, the grandchildren, will be despised.
These are the values of Dahan!
Therefore, if Yuan Shu dared to compete with Cao Cao for the position of alliance leader, then not only would he not get the position of alliance leader, but he would be rejected by everyone present!
Because, no one wants to work with a despicable villain who doesn't know how to repay his kindness!
Therefore, Cao Cao's words extinguished the flame of hope that Yuan Shu would become the leader of the alliance.
Yuan Shu also understood this truth, so after hearing Cao Cao's words, he nodded with a pale face, and said weakly: "Brother Lao Mengde is concerned, and the 20,000 soldiers have been arranged immediately." β
"That's good." After Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Shu, he nodded with a smile and said, "I'm afraid that you don't have a general in your hands, and you won't be able to train those 20,000 troops." β
After finishing speaking, he ignored Yuan Shu, who was also more ugly, and after scanning the surroundings of the big tent with his eyes, he said loudly to everyone: "Since no one else wants to compete for the position of alliance leader, then you can choose, whether to choose the next or the first brother." β
As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Yuan Shu immediately spoke: "Do you still need to say this?!"
The initiator of this discussion of Dong is Brother Meng De, and the person with the most soldiers and horses is also Brother Meng De.
Not only that, our discussion of Dong this time needs an alliance leader who can be civil and martial, among the people present, who is more suitable than Brother Meng De?
Brother Meng De's writing, you must have heard of it, right?
As for Brother Meng De's martial arts, there is the Battle of the Yellow Turban there, presumably everyone will not doubt it, right?
Such a person who is all-round in civil and military affairs, with both ability and political integrity, he is not the leader of the alliance, everyone is the leader of the alliance? !
So, support Brother Meng De below! β
After finishing speaking, he looked at Cao Cao with a flattering face, and his eyes were full of flattery.
Yuan Shu can be regarded as having understood, after this battle, no matter who wins or loses, there will definitely be a battle between him and Yuan Shao to determine the patriarch.
Because, everyone can see that the times have changed now, and now it is the martial arts who are in charge, just like the hussar general Li Zhi.
Therefore, only those who are strong in force are worthy of the position of patriarch.
However, Yuan Shu's own family knows his own affairs, and those soldiers under his command, not to mention the battlefield, let them arrange troops for drills, they can't do it.
Therefore, Yuan Shu wanted to hug Cao Cao's thigh tightly at this time and use Cao Cao's power to help him ascend to the position of patriarch.
As long as this goal can be achieved, even if it is insulted.
Cao Cao was stunned and looked at Yuan Shu with a flattering face, he didn't expect that he had just dug a pit for Yuan Shu and pitted Yuan Shu, not only did he not care, but licked his face and came up.
This kind of shameless ability, Cao Cao really admires!
However, Cao Cao also had to admit that Yuan Shu was indeed a good hand at seizing the opportunity.
After his words were settled, the others followed his words one after another, agreeing: "That's right, the old man also agrees with Meng Dexian's nephew as the leader of our alliance. β
After Kong Rong finished saying this, Ma Teng on the side immediately stood up and said with a big grin: "General Ben also agrees to this matter!"
Brother Meng De's name, even in Xiliang, is like thunder.
Therefore, in the eyes of this general, among all the people present, there is no one more suitable for the position of the leader of the alliance than Brother Meng De! β
"That's right." As soon as Ma Teng's words fell, Sun Jian on the side stood up and nodded in agreement: "I also agree with Brother Meng De as the leader of the alliance." β
Tao Qian: "That's what the old man meant. β
"I agree with it below!"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
After a bustling sound, everyone in the big tent, except for Han Fu and Yuan Shao, all agreed to Cao Cao as the leader of the alliance.
Seeing this, Cao Cao was quite complacent, he had never been so majestic since he became an official, so he was inevitably a little complacent in his heart.
But Cao Cao is not an ordinary person after all, after he was comfortable for a while, he immediately came back to his senses, turned his gaze to Han Fu, and asked with a smile: "Does Han Tingshi have any different opinions?" β
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Han Fu looked at Yuan Shao, who was standing silently beside Cao Cao, and the disappointment in his eyes flashed.
Then, he sighed and said, "The old man also agrees to this." β
After finishing speaking, he lowered his head silently and slowly tasted the tea.
He was very disappointed in Yuan Shao at this time.
In his opinion, even if Yuan Shao falls into the disadvantage, he should not be silent, and should actively fight back against the enemy.
However, after Yuan Shao was hit by Cao Cao, he lost his heart to fight back, and only cared about feeling sorry for himself there, which was really disappointing!
Han Fu felt that since Yuan Shao, who was the head of his family, had given up, there was no need for him to support it independently.
Therefore, he stopped struggling and agreed to Cao Cao's becoming the leader of the alliance.
After Yuan Shao heard Han Fu's words, his face became even more ugly.
He didn't expect that Han Fu, who was a die-hard supporter of their Yuan family, gave up on him, which made him secretly hate Han Fu in his heart.
Cao Cao didn't care what Yuan Shao was thinking, after he saw Han Fu agree, he immediately turned his gaze to Yuan Shao and asked, "I don't know if the first brother can agree to this matter?" β
After saying that, there was a little smug in his eyes.
When he was in Luoyang City, he was a head lower than Yuan Shao everywhere.
Even when visiting the Qinglou, when others mention themselves, they will say: "Isn't that the black-faced kid brought by Yuan Gongzi?" β
This has almost become Cao Cao's inner demon!
Therefore, after he was sure that he was going to ascend to the position of alliance leader, he was inevitably a little proud and wanted to show off like Yuan Shao.
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shao glanced at him with a gloomy face, and nodded through gritted teeth: "Agreed!! β
