Chapter 42: The Princes Association

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were discussing the matter of the parliamentary alliance in the coach's tent.

"Meng De, which princes have not arrived now?" Yuan Shao asked Cao Cao.

"Well, I came to report just now that Changsha Prefect Sun Jian and Wu Shun, the prefect of Wuling Prefect, came together. It should have arrived at this time. Now only the prefect of Peking Gongsun Zan has not arrived yet! But I think it will be here soon." Cao Cao thought for a while and replied.

"After the eighteen princes arrive at Qi, they can send troops to attack Luoyang. However, this time, a leader of the alliance must be commanded and commanded. I wonder if Meng De has a suitable leader in his heart," said Yuan Shao.

After hearing this, Cao Cao felt very unrepentant. Isn’t it just your fourth generation and third generation of Yuan family? He didn’t say it clearly, and he was still hypocritical and recommended it. However, Cao Cao was very meticulous and thought for a moment and replied: “I’m afraid no one can be more suitable as the leader of the league.”

"Hahaha... Meng De is modest. In fact, Meng De is suitable for being the leader of the alliance." Yuan Shao was very happy. Since Cao Cao said that, it means he would not compete with him for the leader of the alliance, so he just flattered him. Except for some concerns about Cao Cao, Yuan Shao didn't take the other person seriously. He could still see Cao Cao's ability since he was a child.

Yuan Shao is a representative of the aristocratic family and wants to be the leader of the alliance. Only by being the leader can the Yuan family be demonstrated. Cao Cao also has the heart to be the leader, but he knows that his strength and reputation are not enough to be comparable to Yuan Shao. If he becomes the leader, no one will follow his orders. Instead of being thankless, it is better to be a favor and help Yuan Shao and let him take the position of the leader of the alliance.

"Report to the lord, Lord Sun, the prefect of Changsha, and Lord Wu, the prefect of Wuling, asked for a meeting!" A personal soldier came in to report.

"Oh, Meng De just finished speaking, and the person arrived. How about going to welcome him together?"

At this time, Yuan Shao had already acted like a leader and invited Cao Cao to the camp to welcome Wu Shun and Sun Jian.

"Okay, let's go and have a look." Cao Cao replied.

Wu Shun and Sun Jian were chatting at Yuan Shao’s camp. The two talked about the past and present, and even discussing the major affairs of the world, they felt that they met too late. Wu Shun was impressed by Sun Jian’s origins of family education, and Sun Jian sighed at Wu Shun’s knowledge of the past and the present. When the two discussed the marching and formation, Wu Shun would occasionally put forward some novel views, which benefited Sun Jian a lot.

"Hahaha... General Sun, General Wu, I have long been famous!" As soon as Yuan Shao left the camp, he laughed and greeted Wu Shun and others.

"Let the generals wait for a long time." Sun Jian bowed to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao said.

Wu Shun also bowed, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao quickly returned the bow.

"This is Wu Shun and Wu, the prefect of Wuling. Eight hundred people conquered Wuxi Man. I can't wait for this ability."

Cao Cao looked at Wu Shun and said in surprise. Because Wu Shun was younger than them and had no background. It was not easy to become the prefect of Wuling with his own strength. Moreover, eight hundred people pacified the Wuxi Manchus, Cao Cao could only admire his civil and military achievements.

"General Cao has won the award, and the barbarians of Wuxi also want to live a stable life. I just gave them the life they wanted, and there is no question of subdue them." Wu Shun said politely.

"Please follow me into the camp, let's discuss the issue of sending troops." Yuan Shao said. As an elite member of the aristocratic family, Yuan Shao looked down on Wu Shun, who was a wild person. He was very polite to Sun Jian, and most of his politeness to Wu Shun was just acting.

After following Yuan Shao into the handsome tent, Wu Shun had the opportunity to look at the two of them carefully. He saw that Yuan Shao was handsome and quite heroic, and his short beard under his jaw added a hint of domineering. On the other hand, Cao Cao, compared with a handsome man like Yuan Shao, he looked short. His originally domineering face also reduced his demeanor due to his dark skin.

"Dare you ask General Yuan, have the princes from all over the world arrived? Should you send troops together or should you choose one person to command the whole? "

Wu Shun asked the question Yuan Shao wanted to answer the most.

"There is also the prefect of the Beiping General Gongsun, and tomorrow will be here. At that time, all the princes will be in the alliance and choose a leader to take charge of the overall situation and lead all the armies. They will definitely defeat Luoyang and destroy the Dong thief!" Yuan Shao said passionately.

"Is it necessary for a leader to unify the order. I wonder who General Yuan thinks is qualified to be the leader?"

Wu Shun couldn't stand Yuan Shao's smug look. He was speaking just now, as if he was the leader of the alliance. He asked this deliberately and blocked him.

"Well... the leader of the alliance naturally wants to elect the princes from all walks of life, and Shao is not willing to make a conclusion."

Yuan Shao was also smart and knew that he had performed a little earlier, but Wu Shun gave him a very bad impression now.

"Oh, Shun thought no one was more suitable to be the leader of this alliance except General Yuan."

Wu Shun's attitude made a 180-degree turn, which made Yuan Shao's mood instantly turn sunny.

"What kind of virtue is Shao? The position of leader still needs to be agreed upon by all the princes!"

It turned out that this guy still had some vision and knew how to support me. Yuan Shao felt happy. Wu Shun seemed to support him. He was the position of the leader of the alliance.

After talking about some unnutritional words, Wu Shun and Sun Jian said goodbye and returned to the camp. After leaving Yuan Shao’s camp, Sun Jian said, “Do you think about Yuan Shao?”

"The Yuan family has four generations and three masters, and their disciples and former officials are spread all over the world. Only when Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, will the climate be formed when the princes attack Dong this time. The princes who participated in the fight against Dong will inevitably become famous." Wu Shun explained.

"But if you really want to fight, Brother Wentai must see the situation clearly before making plans."

"That's certain. I, Sun Jian, is not a man who is still merciless. If you want to plot against me, let him taste the power of the ancient knife!"

Sun Jian also knew that Wu Shun was kind-hearted and reminded him, but he was silent on the surface.

The next day, Gongsun Zan took the white horse Yi from Suzao. The princes finally gathered together to discuss the major issue of sending troops. Some people chose Kong Rong, the leader of Beihai, because Kong Rong was a descendant of the saint Confucius, and had great appeal. More people chose to choose Yuan Shao as the leader because the Yuan family had great achievements and had the highest influence in the world. Moreover, Yuan Shao brought a total of 30,000 troops, more than the princes. And I heard that Yuan Shao had two powerful generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were among the troops, and took the head of the general, which was like taking a piece of cake!

Finally, all the princes unanimously agreed that Yuan Shao was the leader of the coalition forces and led the coalition forces to attack Dong Zhuo!

The ceremony of worshiping the sky was held on that day. The nineteen princes of the 19th vassals fought for blood and worked together to support the Han Dynasty and attack Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shao climbed up to the high platform and read it according to the oath written by the counselor, and even if the etiquette was done.

Yuan Shao, who became the leader of the coalition forces, granted himself the title of General Hecheqi and Cavalry, and granted the title of General to all the princes.
