"Meng De is here. You are the initiator of our alliance meeting, so you should be sitting at the head of the table. When all the dukes gather, we can discuss the position of alliance leader!”
The old man who spoke was the Prefecture Overseer of Xu Prefecture, Tao Qian. As the Prefecture Overseer of a region, although Xu Prefecture did not have many soldiers, his status was still there!
At the very least, Tao Qian could be considered a humble gentleman and a good old man among these dukes who were prefects and state overseers!
Furthermore, because Xu Prefecture was rich, the rations of the entire alliance army were provided by him and Han Fu!
Therefore, Tao Qian's words represented the thoughts of all the dukes here!
Even if they were dissatisfied with this, they would still give him some face for the sake of the rations!
Therefore, Han Fu, Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang, and the others all chimed in!
Since ancient times, the left had always been respected. Therefore, according to this etiquette, Cao Cao, as the initiator of the dukedom alliance, could indeed be considered number one!
However, when Cao Cao heard this, he remembered Zhang Yu and Xi Zhicai's words and smiled!
"How can Cao Cao be the Chief? It was only because he had the heart to serve the country that he initiated the alliance. Now, Brother Benchu had not arrived yet, and the road was also here!”
"Moreover, everyone is strong and famous. How can Cao be the head?”
After saying this, before the dukes could react, Cao Cao directly took the second seat on the left!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yu nodded his head secretly!
On the other hand, if it wasn't for Zhang Yu and Xi Zhicai's words just now, perhaps Cao Cao would have had some thoughts of becoming the Alliance Master!
But now, Cao Cao had given up on this thought!
After Cao Cao took his seat, the people who had wanted to elect him as the alliance leader all stopped!
On the other hand, the person on the right looked at Cao Cao with a smile!
After Cao Cao sat down, he lowered his voice and said to Zhang Yu!
"What do you think of uncle's actions just now?”
The corner of Zhang Yu's mouth curled up when he heard Cao Cao speak!
"Uncle's actions are well-versed in the way of self-preservation. As the saying goes, if a tree is in the forest, the wind will destroy it. When a pile of stones rises from the shore, the current will be turbulent; When you walk higher than others, everyone will criticize you!”
"Each of the dukes has his own ulterior motives. The position of alliance leader should be left to someone else to take the blame!”
Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Cao Cao revealed a smile. However, this was the first time Cao Cao had heard of this saying!
After all, this passage came from Li Kang, a writer of the Three Kingdoms Kingdom and Wei State. It had not yet appeared!
But in Cao Cao's eyes, these words naturally came from Zhang Yu's mouth!
From the looks of it, this nephew of his was really a genius. He even dabbled in literature?
Before entering the alliance army tent, he already knew that the dukes had their own ulterior motives. Now that these words were passed down through the ages, with a nephew like this, what else could he ask for?
At this moment, Zhang Yu did not know that because of this sentence, his status in Cao Cao's heart had risen by another level!
As they conversed, Zhang Yu also asked, wanting to know which one was Gongsun Zan and which one was Sun Jian!
To Zhang Yu, the people he wanted to get to know the most were Liu Bei, who had split the world with Cao Cao, and Sun Quan's father, the Tiger of River East, Sun Jian!
After all, Liu Bei was still by Gongsun Zan's side. If he wanted to know Liu Bei, he had to know Gongsun Zan first!
Moreover, that Zhao Zilong from Chang Mountain, the valiant general Zhao Yun who had fought his way out of the 700,000 Cao troops, should also be a pawn under Gongsun Zan now. He was not valued!
If there was a chance, Zhang Yu might think of a way to kidnap Zhao Yun. He could not leave this to Liu Bei!
Thus, with Cao Cao's introduction, Zhang Yu learned that the mighty general facing Cao Cao was the Tiger of River East, Sun Jian!
There were four people behind him. It was likely that they were Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao!
As for the seat of honor on the right, it was the one who looked like a profligate young master and showed kindness to Cao Cao!
It was the Second Fool Yuan, who later became the Iron Foolish Emperor, Yuan Shu!
Gongsun Zan, whom Zhang Yu wanted to meet, had yet to arrive!
After waiting for nearly two hours, a clear voice sounded!
Then, the tent was opened and a middle-aged man in silver armor entered with three people!
When Zhang Yu saw the nine-foot-tall man behind the middle-aged man, he had already confirmed their identities!
Gongsun Zan was at the front, and behind him were the three brothers, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei!
There was no other reason. These three people were too easy to recognize. The one with a red face was Guan Yu, the one with a gentle face was Liu Bei, and the last one with a leopard head and eyes was Zhang Fei!
Of course, Zhang Yu did not hate the Liu brothers!
If the heroes of the late Han Dynasty were really trash, then it would be impossible for them to leave their names in the history books!
On the contrary, from a person who weaved mats and sold shoes, he became Emperor Zhaolie, who stood on three legs. Liu Bei's ability was absolutely terrifying!
But now that Zhang Yu had become Cao Cao's nephew, he was definitely on Cao Cao's side!
Therefore, these dukes were naturally Zhang Yu's enemies!
Even so, Zhang Yu still had some admiration for Liu Bei!
Coupled with Liu Bei's special tenacity and ability to escape, Zhang Yu could not help but look at the three brothers many times!
As if noticing Zhang Yu's gaze, Liu Bei also looked at Zhang Yu and smiled!
Seeing this, Zhang Yu could only nod his head in acknowledgment, trying his best not to let the other party see that he was hostile towards Liu Bei!
When the two met for the first time, Liu Bei had a strange feeling in his heart!
He had a feeling that the handsome young man standing behind Cao Cao seemed to be very curious about him, but also a little dissatisfied.
On the other hand, Zhang Yu felt that his hostility towards Liu Bei had lessened because of Liu Bei's smile!
F * ck, could this be the so-called charm value?
If he had the four-dimensional attribute, then Liu Bei's charm would definitely be at full capacity. No wonder he could rope in so many famous officials and generals to serve him!
This Liu Bei was indeed Cao Cao's greatest enemy!
As time passed, a handsome man in golden armor walked into the alliance army tent!
This person was the famous Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu!
He was also Cao Cao's greatest enemy in the early stages, the duke who should have the best chance of seizing the world!
When Yuan Shao arrived, all the vassals had also arrived in Qi. Therefore, they split up to the left and right. Then, it was the Shanyang Prefecture Governor Yuan Yi who spoke!
"We have gathered here, and one of us will be the leader of the alliance. He will lead us to destroy Dong Zhuo and wipe out the rebels of Western Liang!”
"The Yuan family has four generations and three dukes. Yuan Benchu is also famous and has a strong army. Thus, I propose that Yuan Shao be the alliance leader.”
After Yuan Yi spoke, Han Fu, Zhang Yang, and the other Yuan family disciples and old officials all chimed in!
Seeing this, Zhang Yu shook his head secretly!
As expected, the dukes had just started the alliance meeting and had already started to fight for power!
When Cao Cao saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat. Indeed, everything was as his nephew had said. These dukes really liked to fight for power!
It seemed that it would be difficult to rescue Emperor Han and defeat Dong Zhuo this time!
However, there was one person who coldly glanced at Yuan Shao after hearing these words. After which, he spoke in a dissatisfied manner!
"Yuan Shao is merely a concubine, and I, Yuan Shu, am the legitimate son of the Yuan Family. Why is it that when Yuan Benchu is the Alliance Master, I, Yuan Gonglu, cannot be the Alliance Master?”
