Lord of the Heavens and Worlds

Chapter 126 The Battle of the Alliance Leaders
Hearing this, Liu Bian was silent. In fact, he also had some opinions on the position of the leader, but all the princes present should understand that he wanted to revive the Han Empire, and sooner or later he would wipe out these princes one by one.

It can be said that among the princes who support him as the leader of the alliance, there should not be many to gain prestige in the world.

All of a sudden, in the big tent, the noisy voices became clear. Everyone looked at Liu Bian, either scrutinized, friendly, strange, or contemplative. Three heads and six arms.

Liu Bian looked around, slightly surprised in his heart. You must know that these people in front of him represent almost half of the power in the world, and the three future overlords are also among them. There is an indescribable pride in his heart. They were all called by him.

In the commander's tent, seeing Cao Cao mentioning this matter, he felt anxious immediately, Yuan Shao gave Wang Kuang a wink, Wang Kuang immediately stood up, and said: "Today the princes will form an alliance in Qingyun City, Jizhou, to discuss the plan of thieves. In Wang's view, there are many soldiers fighting each other, which is not conducive to the great cause of the robbers. We should elect a leader to preside over the overall situation and give orders to the world. Everyone listens to the restraint, and then advances, the feathered dragon can be broken in an instant."

Xiliang Dong Zhuo smiled coldly, and echoed from the side: "Now we are in charge of the great righteousness of the world, we should establish an alliance leader and gather thousands of forces, this is the way to advance and win.

"Great!"

It is inevitable that everyone agrees and speaks out. If there is no one to take the lead and everyone fights their own way, it is better to go home and sleep with their wives as soon as possible, so as to save themselves from being defeated and ridiculed by Jizhou.

Tao Qian said: "This time the princes raised their troops and raised righteousness, it was His Highness the Crown Prince who passed it on to the world. I foolishly thought that His Highness the Crown Prince should be the leader of the alliance, and it is well deserved."

Yuan Shao's face suddenly elongated, and his eyes became gloomy.

"I agree too!"

Kong Rong showed approval on his face, got up and said: "His Royal Highness inherits the luck of heaven and earth, and is the eldest son of the first emperor. Now he has a high position and power, and the position of alliance leader must be his."

Liu Bian's eyes flashed.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao's face was gloomy, and Yuan Shu was extremely unhappy as if he was constipated. The other princes did not agree. From their point of view, Liu Bian's reputation is not obvious now. Although he has the background left by the Han Empire, he is the only one Background Han Lingdi can't do anything now.

And the threat of letting him help the leader is too great. After all, the prince Liu Bian is not on the same side as them, and sooner or later he will go to the opposite side. If he doesn't want to take advantage of his orthodox reputation, he won't even be allowed to become a prince!
"inappropriate!"

Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang, said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness is too young. Although he has a high status, he can't convince the public. Why don't we choose another wise man?"

Zhang Miao interjected, "That's right, if we talk about the selection of the leader of the alliance. Those who have high morals and high prestige are elected, and those with insufficient prestige are not enough to convince the crowd."

Sun Jian said in a loud voice: "If you talk about morality and prestige, it is none other than Gonglu. Gongao is the descendant of the fourth generation and the third prince. .”

Yuan Shu was proud of himself, and it was obvious that what Sun Jian said was his instruction.

Yuan Shao's face was gloomy, and Sun Jian's words "he is a direct descendant of a famous family" pointed directly at his vital point.Yuan Shaonai was born as a concubine. Although he was the eldest son in the Yuan family, his status was lower than that of Yuan Shu. Although his title was passed to his uncle Yuan Cheng, he was still regarded as the eldest son of Yuan.

When they were in the Yuan family, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were fighting openly and secretly. Now, in order to fight for the position of the leader of the alliance, they even instigated their subordinates to fight.However, Yuan Shao's popularity was good, and he attracted many princes. On the other hand, Yuan Shu was arrogant and arrogant. Except for Sun Jian, no one supported him.

The expressions of the grassland aliens and the Western Region countries remained unchanged. For them, this alliance leader was a hot potato. Who among the 36 forces could easily hand everything over to others?This is impossible. Being the leader of the alliance has no benefits at all, except for a better reputation. The one who stands out will always be the first to die.

What's more, they can't compete with the princes of the Central Plains and others.

Bao Xin glanced coldly at Yuan Shu and said, "Yuan Benchu ​​is the fourth generation and third prince, with family background all over the world, prestige in the government and the public, and his strength is second to none. Bao believes that Benchu ​​can be the leader of this alliance."

"Exactly." Wang Kuang said with a chuckle, "I was brave and resourceful at the beginning, so I should follow his command on this trip!"

Yuan Shu's face became even more ugly. He was the legitimate son and Yuan Shao was the concubine. Logically speaking, he should be the heir to the Yuan family. However, this boy was ignorant and had no skills, and his reputation was not very good. As a result, he was not destined to be the head of the family. Although Yuan Shao was He was a concubine, but he was very popular with his clan members, so he truly inherited the Yuan family.

At this time, the atmosphere in the big tent was a little cold, many people were either silent or discussing in low voices, but no one came forward to speak.

However, the situation was clear, the candidates for the alliance leader were Liu Bian, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu. Yuan Shao had many supporters, and Wang Kuang, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Liu Dai, and Yuan Yi had clearly stood on Yuan Shao's side.

Liu Bian's supporters are Cao Cao, Tao Qian and Kong Rong;
Only Yuan Shu was single and weak, and only Sun Jian supported him. The other princes such as Han Fu, Zhang Yang, and Kong Ni remained neutral and did not stand up to express their support, which seemed a bit wait-and-see.

"Meng De, what do you think of this matter?" Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked calmly, obviously he was bound to win the position of the leader.

Cao Cao knew that if the stalemate continued, the gains would outweigh the losses, so he said: "According to Cao's opinion, the leader of the alliance is none other than Benchu. Benchu, the Fourth and Third Duke, is famous throughout the world, and his disciples and former officials are all over the world. If you take the post of leader of the alliance, you will rise to the top. Phew, there must be countless people who respond, and great things can be accomplished!”

Yuan Shao's complexion softened slightly, and he repeatedly declined.

Han Fu got up and said: "There is no need to decline the position of the leader, the position of the leader must be the beginning, it is really expected by everyone."

Yuan Shu was furious, feeling unwilling, but also helpless.

"Yuan Benchu, He De and He Neng are qualified to be the leader of the alliance. In my opinion, His Royal Highness has the highest status, and His Royal Highness should be the leader of the alliance!" Gongsun Zan stood up and sneered.

Yuan Shao glanced at Gongsun Zan indifferently, and Gongsun Zan confronted him unabashedly, although he also knew that this would not prevent Yuan Shao from becoming the leader at all.

"Everyone loves you, what virtue and ability does Yuan Mou have, how can he take on such a big task!" Yuan Shao directly ignored Gongsun Zan, standing up and laughing loudly.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yuan family was one of the two largest aristocratic families, and they had a large population and a large area of ​​land. If you had to choose an alliance leader, he was indeed the best choice.

Liu Bian frowned. His influence in the world is still too low, and his identity is inherently opposed to the princes. Besides, he is still a little weak, with only three supporters. It seems that the position of the leader... …

Moreover, this Yuan Shao didn't seem to be as unbearable as it was written in the history, on the contrary, the city was extremely deep. At this time, most people were already ecstatic, but Yuan Shao remained calm.

"I don't want to refuse at first, it's just decided!"

"Yeah, this battle against rebellion will all depend on the primordial!"

"..."

Everyone echoed, and it was really everyone's favor. Finally, a smile appeared on Yuan Shao's face. He glanced at Cao Cao with satisfaction, and then said: "Since everyone says so, it's not easy for Yuan to refuse, but he will do his best!"

Blood is an alliance, rebellion is an oath, and the eighteen princes have finally settled down.
