Cao Cao knew this very well.
The reason why he was able to stand firm in this large tent filled with vassals was precisely because of that fake edict in his arms.
Now was not the time to be entangled with Yuan Shu.
After signaling Chen Tong to put down his weapon with his eyes, he strode forward and took out an imperial edict from his bosom.
The dukes bowed.
Naturally, they weren't bowing to Cao Cao himself, but to the imperial edict in his hands.
"In the autumn and ninth month of the sixth year of Zhongping, the emperor and minister, Cao Cao, announced to the heavens and earth that the Han Dynasty had the world and that the calendar was boundless. In the past, Wang Mang usurped the throne and stole. Emperor Guangwu was furious and killed him, and the country was restored. Now Dong Zhuo, the thief, has raised a rebellion, destroyed the ancestral temple and the state, killed the loyal and loyal people without authorization, and caused chaos in the harem. He wants to overthrow the Han Dynasty's 400-year-old country. All the people of insight in the world can raise an army to kill the rebels and recover the land together. Blessed by the Han family, forever pacifying the four seas."
The princes shouted in unison,"We have received the imperial edict."
After the edict was read out, Yuan Shao returned to his seat.
Someone said,"Although we are uprising soldiers, there are many factions. We still need to elect an alliance leader to unify the various armies."”
"The alliance leader still needs to be elected. Naturally, it should be the governor of Bohai, Yuan Benchu.”
"Deacon Yuan's family has four generations and three dukes. We naturally believe in him.”
At this moment, Yuan Shao was so happy that he could not close his mouth, but he still pretended to shirk,"Everyone, since this imperial edict was brought out by Meng De, the position of alliance leader should be his.”
Cao Cao didn't dare to reply and hurriedly waved his hand,""Brother Benchu, you're too serious. I, Cao Cao, am just a cavalry lieutenant, how can I plan the overall situation? The position of alliance leader is none other than brother Benchu.”
"Forget it, since everyone thinks highly of me, I will accept this alliance leader. Everyone worked together to restore the Han Dynasty.”
"Work together to restore the Han Dynasty!"
"Work together to restore the Han Dynasty!"
"Work together to restore the Han Dynasty!"
Yuan Shao naturally wouldn't treat Cao Cao unfairly, so he specially ordered someone to add a seat on the right side of the lower seat for him to sit on.
Don't underestimate this small seat.
In the Han Dynasty, the seating order was very exquisite, with the right as the highest position, often sitting according to the height of merit and title.
Yuan Shao let Cao Cao sit at the head of the table, his support was self-evident.
Chen Tong raised his halberd and naturally stood behind Cao Cao.
No one dared to underestimate Cao Cao, the sworn brother who dared to threaten Yuan Shu with his halberd.
Regardless of his martial arts, such courage was definitely rare in the world.
"Second brother, what are you looking at?"
" You're right." Chen Tong raised his hand and pointed at a person in the distance." Ever since I threatened the second son of the Yuan family, that guy has been glaring at me fiercely."”
Cao Cao said softly," He must be a fierce general under Yuan Gonglu. Don't worry about him. If he dares to act rashly, even Yuan Shao won't let him off easily."”
[Name: Ji Ling (No Words)]
[Martial Force: 90 (Physique 93, Martial Arts 90, Courage 90)]
[Intelligence: 42 (Military Strategy 55, Strange Plan 26, Strategy 33)]
[Commander: 71 (Marching 70, Formation 65, Army Management 77)]
[Political Affairs: 28 (People's Lives: 25, Criminal Law: 10, Knowledge of People: 36)]
If it were any other time, Chen Tong would also be too lazy to argue with him.
But now, he still lacked points!
If he didn't take advantage of the new enmity to beat him up, he wouldn't have an excuse to do so after today.
"Big brother, he's making me really annoyed. I want to go over and beat him up.”
"Oh? It was rare for Second Brother to be interested. Although it was unreasonable to start internal conflicts right after the alliance was formed, Cao Cao needed to be punished even more so that he could let others know that he could sit in this position not because of Yuan Shao's charity."Second brother, how many times did you take this person down?"
Although Ji Ling was a first-rate fighter and was only slightly stronger than Guan Hai, Chen Tong was no longer the same Chen Tong he was when he first fought Guan Hai.
After some serious consideration, he gave a relatively conservative number."Three rounds, five rounds at most.”
"Alright, I'll do it. Remember, let the other party make the first move."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards Yuan Shao, joining in the discussion of the route.
Ji Ling didn't know that Cao Cao was using her as a warning to the others.
On the contrary, he was also thinking about how to teach Chen Tong a lesson.
There was a saying that when the master was humiliated, the subject would die. When his lord was humiliated by this kid just now, his lungs were about to explode from anger.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was worried about Yuan Shu's life, he would have killed Chen Tong on the spot.
Chen Tong slowly turned around in Ji Ling's line of sight. Just as Ji Ling was about to continue using the Staring Divine Art, he saw the other party curl his lips disdainfully at him and then spit lightly.
It was not harmful, but extremely insulting.
In Ji Ling's eyes, this fellow clearly didn't take him seriously at all.
Immediately, a wave of anger rushed to the top of his head, and he could no longer care about anything else.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the tent, he picked up the three-pointed double-edged sword beside him and rushed toward Chen Tong.
Yuan Shu, who was sitting not far away, was the first to notice the abnormality. Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold Ji Ling, he realized that Ji Ling was going for Chen Tong. He immediately turned his head away and pretended not to see anything.
He couldn't wait for Ji Ling to kill that brat on the spot.
"Good!"
Chen Tong didn't expect the other party to be so mischievous. To think that he had silently listed out many backup plans in his heart.
He casually picked up the Black Dragon Halberd, flipped over the table, and smashed it heavily at the other party.
Everyone was stunned! A loud noise shook their eardrums, and many people with bad hearts fell to the ground. They all turned around in surprise.
Then, they saw a shocking scene.
The moment the saber and halberd collided, the saber bent into a U-shape from the middle.
Ji Ling's eight-foot-tall body shot out like a cannonball, crashing into more than ten tables before falling heavily to the ground. He kept coughing up blood, and only by looking at his heaving chest could one determine that he was still alive.
For a moment, the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard in the tent.
Even Sun Jian, who had always been proud of his bravery, could not help but shrink his neck.
No wonder…
No wonder Cao Cao became sworn brothers with a commoner!
How was this a human? It was clearly a bear in human skin.
How could a normal person possess such terrifying brute force?
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 fighter points.
Chen Tong chuckled and stood upright with his halberd in hand.
Speaking of which, he liked these one-track-minded hotheads who would fight head-on with him the most.
It was a piece of cake to solve it.
