The Three Kingdoms: Steamed Buns and Pickled Cabbage, I Became the Emperor

Chapter 39: Yuan Benchu, Ambitious but Incompetent

"Cao A Man, worthy of being called Cao A Man!"

Ye Chen looked at Cao Cao walking away and began to ponder in his heart.

To tell the truth.

If he didn't have the system, the first thing he would do after traveling through time would be to find Boss Cao and curry his favor.

After all, he is a time traveler.

Of course he knew that the final winner of the Three Kingdoms was Cao Cao.

pity.

All thoughts are like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

From the day he decided to take his destiny into his own hands.

Everything is already determined.

And Cao Cao had just talked to him.

The other party often has tentative intentions.

If Ye Chen had not been so certain in his heart, his identity would never have been exposed.

If things go wrong, Cao Cao might really trick us into finding something.

It seems.

It started from the moment I met Cao Cao.

Cao Cao had deep doubts about his identity, background, etc.

He is worthy of being the Cao Man in history.

Sure enough, he is suspicious by nature.

We must be careful in the future.

------

Three days later.

The main account of the coalition army.

"Everyone, we have been resting here for many days."

"Now that we have all the food and weapons, in my opinion, we can set out today and enter the capital to defeat the Dong thief!"

"What do you think?"

Yuan Shao sat at the head of the coalition forces, full of confidence and high spirits, as if he had the world in his hands.

Although the initiator of this meeting of eighteen princes was Cao Cao.

But in the end, the position of leader of the alliance was taken by Yuan Shao.

There is no way around it.

The Yuan family has three officials in four generations, and their reputation is very high.

We can't really regard Yuan Shao as a vanguard prince.

Let’s use a simple analogy.

Just like holding a conference in the future.

The meeting was originally presided over by the county magistrate, but now that the mayor has come, doesn’t the county magistrate have to give up his position?

Even though this meeting was to study and solve problems in the county, it was chaired by the county governor.

You can't really treat the mayor as a participant in the meeting!

Although the Cao family is also a noble family, it is far inferior to the Yuan family.

Moreover, when Cao Cao was in the court, he was Yuan Shao's follower.

Now the big brother is here.

If the eldest brother doesn't sit in the main seat, Cao Cao can sit there even if he wants.

With his current reputation, he can't support this place.

after all.

Those who came to the alliance were all princes from all over the country, and at least one of them was a prefect.

If you don't have enough face, you won't be able to control the situation.

at this time.

Ye Chen looked at Yuan Shao's smug look on the main seat and felt quite emotional for a moment.

It has to be said that Yuan Shao's appearance can be described as dignified and with extraordinary bearing.

There was also a legend about him confronting Dong Zhuo head-on.

That sentence
My sword is never at a disadvantage!

It is quite similar to the poem written by Wang Jingwei when he was young.

"I sing with passion in the streets of Yan and am calm as a prisoner of Chu. I draw my sword and make it into one piece, so as not to let down my youth."

pity.

Both of them are ambitious but lack talent.

They all had a trump card at the beginning, but in the end they were killed by a small-time figure whom they used to look down upon.

The bald man killed Wang Jingwei.

Cao Cao killed Yuan Shao.

Sometimes, background really doesn't mean everything.

"Ha ha!"

"Since no one objects, then this matter is settled!"

"The fight against Dong the thief is of great importance. If we want to succeed in this battle, coordination and deployment are the key."

"I, Yuan Moutian, will be the leader of the alliance. It would be disrespectful to refuse this matter."

"All future military deployments will be arranged by me!"

After talking about strategies and tactics, the final topic focused on food and fodder.

after all.

If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

Whoever controls the food has the greatest say.

Finally, Yuan Shao decided that Yuan Shu would be responsible for the overall allocation of food and fodder for the army.

heard about this arrangement.

The princes remained silent.

But Ye Chen could see that the faces of the various princes were extremely gloomy.

On the surface, everyone was full of enthusiasm to fight against Dong Zhuo and to maintain the peace and prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

You, Yuan Benchu, are so good. As soon as you came to power, you took away everyone's military power.

Your brother is still in charge of food.

Then what are we here for?

Am I here to be cannon fodder for you?
Is it to be a stepping stone on your road to success?
When Ye Chen saw this, he couldn't help but feel sad for Yuan Shao's low emotional intelligence.

No wonder, this alliance ended in failure under the auspices of Yuan Shao.

As soon as he came to power, he offended all the princes.

at this time.

Yuan Shao seemed not to notice the changes in the expressions of the various princes.

Then he started talking.

"Now our coalition army still needs a general to serve as the vanguard and help us break through Sishui Pass. Who is willing to take the order?"

Hear this.

All the princes present were silent.

Who doesn't know.

The Western Liang cavalry under Dong Zhuo roamed the world, and none of them was a good-for-nothing.

This is the first battle for the coalition forces, so everything will be fine if they win.

If I lose, I will have no place to stand in the world.

too much stress.

Can't afford it.

See this scene.

Ye Chen sighed.

It seems that the Han Dynasty’s luck is really over.

Who among those present did not claim that they came to support the Han Dynasty?

Wait until the real time comes.

Everyone considers their own reputation first.

Under such circumstances, how could the Han Dynasty’s hundreds of years of foundation not be completed?

In the central army commander's tent.

The silence of the crowd made the atmosphere awkward.

Fortunately, Sun Jian finally volunteered to be the vanguard in the first battle.

The first meeting of the coalition forces marked the end of victory.

After the meeting.

Cao Cao grabbed Ye Chen immediately.

this time.

Cao Cao always invited Ye Chen to have a drink and a meal.

Of course, Ye Chen would serve the dishes every time we ate.

Ye Chen couldn't eat the food provided by Cao Cao.

With Cao Cao's deliberate efforts to make friends with them, the relationship between the two quickly heated up.

All that’s left is burning yellow paper, chopping off a chicken’s head, and becoming sworn brothers.

In the end, Cao Cao even brought him to the meetings in the central military tent.

But Ye Chen could feel it every time he ate.

There was still a hint of temptation in Cao Cao's words.

Ye Chen also speaks differently to different people.

Just think of it as a snake.

but.

The transaction between the two people was carried out under the condition of warming personal relationship.

It went surprisingly smoothly.

There’s nothing else to say, Ye Chen brought too much food this time.

Moreover, many of them were rations that Cao Cao had never seen before.

The two reached an agreement privately.

Ye Chen gave priority to supplying food to Cao Cao’s army.

Cao Cao then got all the necessary goods for him.

Although Cao Cao was also secretly wondering what Ye Chen needed so many military supplies for?
But now that the war was about to begin, he had no time to think about these things.

As long as Ye Chenan does his business peacefully.

As long as his army had enough food and grass, Cao Cao was happy to pretend to be ignorant.

But they were secretly monitoring Ye Chen's caravan.

But it became more and more strict.

The advance payment exchange plan launched by Ye Chen also made Cao Cao very satisfied.

In the future, all the spoils of war can be exchanged for food from him.

You can even get food in advance.

Cao Cao naturally had nothing to say about the launch of this plan.

Anyway, we can exchange the looted military supplies and equipment for food.

He didn't have to pay a penny, so he was naturally happy to accept it.

"Sir, something's wrong!"

Just when Ye Chen was about to be pulled away by Cao Cao.
