The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Meng De, you announced the emperor's edict and called on the princes of the world to come to the alliance, and now the nineteenth princes have arrived soon, and the nineteenth army is nearly [-] troops. Unified command and command, so I invited Meng De to come here today, just to ask Meng De's opinion on this matter?"

Cao Cao smiled slightly and said, "Brother Benchu, now that the nineteenth princes have not yet arrived, it is too early for us to discuss this!"

"Meng De, this is a bad statement. I am the third prince of the fourth generation of the Yuan clan, and my disciples and former officials are all over the world. Among the nineteen princes, more than half of my Yuan clan's disciples and former officials, the position of the leader of the alliance is none other than my Yuan clan. !"

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, the curtain above the tent was lifted, and a middle-aged man in his thirties walked in.

"Cough cough." His words made both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao almost choked on their own saliva, but after a closer look, the person who came was Yuan Shao's younger brother, Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang.

"Highway be careful!" Yuan Shao felt that he was going to be pissed off by this idiot, Yuan Shu. Although he said what he said was exactly the same as what he thought in his heart, but these words were obviously enough to think about in his heart. , said it directly in front of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shu with a strange expression, and he already despised Yuan Shu in his heart. With this intelligence and emotional intelligence, it is no wonder that as the direct son of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao, a concubine, kept stepping on his feet.

Now the world is still dominated by Han, even if the Yuan family is the fourth and third princes, but to put it bluntly, like other princes, everyone is the slave of the Liu family, no one is more noble than the other, pushing you to be the leader of the alliance is to give you face, even if it is with It is reasonable for you to rob. If Yuan Shu’s words reach the ears of those princes, it is estimated that whose face is not good-looking, who will buy the face of your Yuan family?

Yuan Shu said nonchalantly, "Big Brother, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"This..." Yuan Shao was almost fooled to death by Yuan Shu. No matter how Yuan Shao answered, it would be inappropriate. If you say what Yuan Shu said is wrong, then you Yuan Shao have no advantage to compete for the leader of the alliance, but if what Yuan Shu said is right Yes, when it reached the ears of the princes, everyone would probably doubt Yuan Shao's mind.

Cao Cao watched the conversation between the two brothers and held back his laughter.It is really not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs.

"At the beginning, the princes of the highway have not yet gathered. It is too early to discuss the matter of the alliance leader. Let's wait until the princes gather. Let's discuss it again!" Cao Cao said to Yuan Shao with a smile.

Yuan Shao also hurriedly followed Cao Cao's words and ended the topic of choosing the leader of the alliance. Otherwise, who would know what arrogant words that idiot Yuan Shu would say would make people want to beat him to the ground.

In the tent of Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang.

"who are you?"

As soon as Xi Zhi entered Ma Teng's camp, a young general wearing a silver helmet and a white robe used a golden spear with a tiger's head.

"What a handsome young general!" Xi Zhicai couldn't help but exclaimed.

The banner officer who accompanied Xi Zhicai in hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Major General, this is Mr. Xi Zhicai, the advisor under General Cao Cao's command, who has come to see the general!"

Hearing that, the young man put away the tiger-headed Zhan golden gun in his hand, looked at Xi Zhicai, and then turned to the side.

"Sir, please!" The flag officer took Xi Zhicai and continued to go to Ma Teng's coach camp.

"The young general just now was General Ma Teng's son?" Xi Zhicai asked the flag officer beside him.

The flag official said with a smile, "Mr. Xi, please don't be surprised, that was the eldest son of our general, Ma Chao and Meng Qi, don't think he is only fourteen years old this year, but martial arts are rare in our army! "

Xi Zhicai smiled and didn't answer. Although Xi Zhicai was not skilled in martial arts, but seeing Ma Chao's aura just now, he already knew that what the banner official said was true.

Under the leadership of the flag officer, Xi Zhicai came to the Central Army to meet Ma Teng and told Cao Cao what he meant. Ma Teng readily agreed without any hesitation.

Ma Teng's ancestor was Ma Yuan, the general Fubo of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He has been loyal to the lineage of the great Han Liu clan for generations. Now that it is such an important thing to meet the alliance to fight thieves, Liu Rui, as a clan member of the Han family, naturally has no objection to elect him as the leader of the alliance, Ma Teng. Yes, after Xi Zhicai completed his mission, he returned to the Cao army camp.

It was night, Liu Rui was in the army.

Liu Rui held the information sent by Chase in his hand, and couldn't help laughing. Cao Mengde actually wanted to push himself to the position of the leader of the alliance, and also contacted Ma Teng, Sun Jian and others.

He originally led the army here, on the one hand, to fight against Dong Zhuo, on the other hand, to increase his popularity, to attract more talents to rely on him, and he never thought about being a bullshit leader.

071: The Princes Arrive

Each of the nineteen princes had their own ghosts, and even Sun Jian, who had always been loyal to the Han family, had the idea of ​​self-reliance after seeing the jade seal, not to mention the other princes.

Such an alliance, in Liu Rui's view, the result of the crusade against Dong Zhuo is destined to be the same as in history.

Don't be too embarrassed to ask Liu Rui to be the leader of the alliance, who is one of the nineteen forces who fight and let others run away.

Therefore, Liu Rui has no idea at all about the position of the leader of the alliance. He does not want to be nailed to the pillar of shame and ridiculed by others.

Since there is no single case of such an alliance leader, he has to take the blame for the failure of Dong Dong, so he should leave it to Yuan Benchu ​​to take the blame.

"Chasing, you go and investigate and elect me as the leader of the alliance. Who the hell gave Cao Cao the idea?" Liu Rui said to Chasing beside him.Regarding Cao Cao's rhetoric, Liu Rui would not even believe a single punctuation mark. From Liu Rui's point of view, this was to forcefully push himself to the opposite of the Yuan brothers. To the extent of his carefulness, he will stumble upon himself sooner or later.

Chasing his orders, he bowed and said, "My lord, Cao Cao's newest advisor is called Xi Zhicai, and this suggestion is exactly Xi Zhicai's idea.

Play Zhicai!

Liu Rui didn't feel that it was strange. Xi Zhi was a very important advisor to Cao Cao in the early stage.

Many people say that Guo Jia died too early and did not show his talents, but Xi Zhicai died earlier than Guo Jia, so he is not famous. In Lao Luo's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Not even mentioning his existence.

But this guy was never mentioned in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but that doesn't mean Xi Zhicai really has no strength.In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that this guy was sick and died too early, Cao Cao's first advisor would not have been determined.

"Chasing, you immediately send ten people to me and let them go to Yingchuan in groups of two. Look for a young man named Guo Jia, and after you find it, bring him back to me at all costs!" The appearance of Zhicai made Liu Rui immediately think of the ghost Guo Jia. At this time, Guo Jia should still be in Yingchuan, so Liu Rui directly sent someone to Yingchuan to find Guo Jia.

Guo Jia is called a ghost, which fully shows his intelligence and strategy. Such talents must be brought under his command.Cao Cao has already poached a talented actor, how can Cao Cao rob Guo Jia again?

"Yes!" Chasing heard Liu Rui's explanation, and immediately led the order to retreat, turned and left Liu Rui's tent.

------

The next day, Liu Rui's army marched towards Suanzao County.

At noon, the main force led by Liu Rui met with the [-] vanguard troops led by Zhao Zilong and Lin Chong at Guandu, and then joined forces to set off, arriving at Suanzao County, where the coalition forces met in the evening.

At this time, outside Suanzao County, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from more than a dozen princes were stationed, and the camp stretched for dozens of miles. When Liu Rui arrived, it was the node where the army had dinner.

The Baili Company Camp was brightly lit. Liu Rui rode Wanli Yanyunzhao with a bright silver spear in his hand, and walked ahead of the army. Zhao Yun, Xue Rengui, Lin Chong, and Qiao Feng followed Liu on horses. behind Rui.

"Which princes are coming from?"

The soldiers guarding the gate of the camp asked after seeing Liu Rui and his party.
