No one present was a fool.
To be able to be the leader of the alliance, not only must one have absolute strength, but one must also have an absolute status.
The only people present who possessed these two items were the two Yuan Clan disciples in front of him.
Bohai prefect Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu!
Yuan Shao, the prefect of Nanyang, and Yuan Gonglu!
These two people were from the world's top aristocratic families. They had four generations and three dukes. Their power could be said to have reached the peak.
Naturally, the position of alliance leader would definitely be taken by these two.
After thinking about it, they made a decision.
Compared to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao had a more heroic spirit.
"Brother Benchu, we will be relying on you for this battle. Therefore, I recommend Brother Benchu to be the alliance leader!”
The person who spoke was the son of the Sage, the Governor of Beihai, Kong Rong, Kong Wenju.
Among the people present, he was the only one who was not afraid of Yuan Shao's family. Of course, he himself liked Confucian classics and did not have any thoughts about leading troops to war, so he naturally had no interest in the position of Alliance Master.
After some consideration, he elected Yuan Shao.
"Hahahaha, Wenju is too modest.”
Yuan Shao laughed loudly, a trace of arrogance flashing across his face.
Seeing Kong Rong jump out first, the others all agreed.
All of a sudden, the entire tent was filled with compliments for Yuan Shao.
"What ability does Shao have to be recommended by everyone to become the alliance leader?”Yuan Shao pretended to decline, but he was already overjoyed in his heart. He was someone who liked power, and now that he was the Alliance Head, it naturally satisfied his wishes. No matter how he looked at it, it was beneficial.
"Alliance Master is too humble. Alliance Master Yuan is the descendant of four generations of three dukes and comes from a prestigious family.”
"Alliance Master, please don't decline. Other than Alliance Master Yuan, no one else is qualified for this position.”
"That's right, Alliance Master Yuan deserves the title!”
“……”
However, no one noticed that Yuan Shu's face was getting darker and darker.
He was also a member of the Yuan Family, and he was also a direct descendant. However, in the eyes of these people, he was inferior to Yuan Shao. This made him even angrier.
"Humph!"
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly rang out. Everyone turned around and saw that it was the Nanyang Mayor, Yuan Shu. Immediately, everyone stopped talking and shut their mouths.
They were all very clear about the conflict between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. Now that Yuan Shao had been elected as the alliance leader, he had neglected Yuan Shu, which naturally caused the latter to be extremely dissatisfied.
Yuan Shao's face turned cold when he saw this.
"Since everyone thinks highly of me, then Shao will not decline. I will take over the position of alliance leader.”He gently glanced at Yuan Shu and said," The road, as the saying goes, before the three armies move their provisions, they go first. You will be in charge of the provisions. Don't be negligent!”
"There's no need for Alliance Master to worry!" Yuan Shu snorted coldly and replied in a strange tone. Then, he returned to his seat without looking back.
This time, everyone was caught off guard.
"Nephew, what do you think of this alliance?”
After a banquet, everyone dispersed, and Sun Jian volunteered to take on the mission of attacking Mushui Pass.
Gongsun Zan dragged Li Ye to his tent.
As soon as he entered the tent, the latter's drunken state immediately disappeared. He turned to Li Ye and asked,"
Li Ye looked at Gongsun Zan in surprise and sighed in his heart. No one who could become an overlord was simple.
"I thought that although the alliance army is at its peak, they are constantly fighting in the dark. It will be extremely difficult to save His Majesty!”
In other words, not only did he know the direction of the future, but he had also come to this conclusion because he had observed every dukedom just now.
Out of the 18 dukes, only Kong Rong, Cao Cao, and a few others wanted to rescue the Emperor.
The other dukes all had their own goals.
Relying on such an alliance to rescue the emperor?
It was simply a fool's dream!
Even his goal was not a proper goal. He was only laying the foundation for his future hegemony of the Central Plains.
"Haha, nephew, you've seen through everything.”Gongsun Zan nodded and patted Li Ye's shoulder." When Yuan Benchu handed over the rations to Yuan Gonglu today, everything was set. How could Yuan Shu sit in this position?”
He knew a lot about Yuan Shu. He knew what kind of person Yuan Shu was back in Luoyang. He was completely a hedonistic son of a rich family. Although he was a little clever, he never put it on the right path.
With the help of the Yuan family, he had such a big family business. Otherwise, how could Yuan Shu become the prefect of Nanyang?
Li Ye was shocked.
Yuan Shu had done a lot of work on the provisions, directly killing Sun Jian's subordinate, Zu Mao. This was what he learned in his later years.
However, Gongsun Zan suddenly realized that Yuan Shu would not sit obediently in the position of grain officer.
How could he not be shocked?
"It seems that the dukes of this era are definitely not stupid. Instead, they are ridiculously smart.”Li Ye sighed in his heart.
If Gongsun Zan was so intelligent, then Cao Cao was even more so.
As Gongsun Zan finished speaking, he shook his head and no longer brought up the previous topic. Instead, he seemed to have recalled something and said,
"Nephew, Yi De said something wrong today, but he has already been punished, so I hope that you will not continue to make things difficult for Liu Bei. This person is my classmate and good friend. What he did today was unintentional.”
"I won't lower myself to his level." Li Yeyan nodded lightly.”
He was already satisfied that he could hurt Zhang Fei today.
He could see that Zhang Fei's right arm was almost crippled. Even if it could be cured in the future, there would definitely be hidden injuries. Li Cunxiao's punch had probably already destroyed Zhang Fei's path to becoming unparalleled.
What else was he not satisfied with?
Therefore, he gladly agreed.
"Haha, good. Since Nephew doesn't care about it anymore, I'll let Xuande apologize to you and let this matter go.”Gongsun Zan chuckled." Someone, go and invite Duke Liu Bei here!"”
Li Ye was stunned. After a while, he saw a somewhat disheveled figure walk in from outside the tent.
