The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 36
Li Yuan looked over. Although it was the first time they met, he recognized the identities of these two people at a glance. They were Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang and Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide. Can't help but raise a fighting spirit.

Seemingly sensing Li Yuan's fighting spirit, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei turned their heads to look at Li Yuan.Li Yuan saw them looking over with faint smiles on their faces, and then put away his fighting spirit. He knew that he would definitely fight these two masters in the future. This was his inner instinct.

It's a long story, but Li Yuan and Guan Zhang's eyes met for only a moment, and I'm afraid no one except Sun Jian and Ma Teng would notice it.

Gongsun Zan's face was a little displeased, Yuan Shu didn't give Liu Bei face, he didn't give him face, and said, "Yuan Shu, you can't say that, Xuande worshiped with me in the early years under the mentor Lu Zhi's door, his talent, learning and wisdom are far better than mine , it’s just that he was born at an untimely time, if you give him the same soldiers and horses, you might not be able to defeat him.”

"Gongsun Zan, you!" Yuan Shu fixed his eyes on Gongsun Zan.

"What's the matter with me? Do you still want to compete with me?" Gongsun Zan looked at Yuan Shu coldly. Although he may not have more troops than Yuan Shu, his combat power is definitely several levels higher. After all, he has been fighting for many years. For foreigners, Baima Yicong under his command is even more famous all over the world. It can be said that everyone knows everyone.

"Prefect Yuan, Xuande is also the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan. We can't be so disrespectful to him. I hope you put away what you said just now." Beihai Kong Rong said kindly, although his words were not as provocative as Gongsun Zan, but The meaning is the same, not only Kong Rong, but Tao Qian also said the same.

Yuan Shu saw that Gongsun Zan, Kong Rong and Tao Qian were all speaking for Liu Bei, and then he satirized Liu Bei for being bored, returned to his seat with a cold snort and stopped talking.Liu Bei cupped his fists in gratitude to the three of Gongsun Zan.

Seeing Yuan Shu deflated in front of Gongsun Zan and others, Yuan Shao was very happy. Originally, the number of people who supported him as the leader was about the same as the number of people who supported Yuan Shu, but now that Yuan Shu made Gongsun Zan and others unhappy, he was obviously at a disadvantage. In this way, he became the leader The chances were a little higher, he looked at Kong Ni, who had the second most troops, and asked: "The governor of Kong does not know what you think of the position of the leader?"

Kong Ni is a person who has no opinions. He is used to discussing things with Xu Jing. Now that Xu Jing is not around, he can only look at Li Yuan. Li Yuan nodded. He stood up and said, "Prefect Yuan, in my opinion this The position of leader should be best suited to those who are good at fighting, after all we want to compete with Dong Zhuo's tiger and wolf division, so the leader should be the current tiger general."

"General Li, who do you think can be in charge?" Yuan Shao asked.

"In my opinion, General Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang, is the most suitable!" Li Yuan felt that it was time to move out of Ma Teng. "General Ma Teng is the successor of General Fubo and Ma Yuan. He has made countless contributions, secondly, General Ma and Dong Zhuo are both from Xiliang, and he is familiar with the tactics of the Xiliang army, plus he is extremely brave and capable of fighting well, so he is the most suitable leader of the alliance."

Hearing that Li Yuan recommended Ma Teng and Yuan Shao felt a little unhappy, but it was hard to refute, because Ma Teng did have this ability and strength, and the Ma family had been loyal ministers and generals throughout the generations, and had made countless contributions to the Han Dynasty. The reputation of the Yuan family is indeed much worse than that of the fourth and third generations of the Yuan family. If there is no Ma family guarding the frontier in the past, how can there be stability for hundreds of years?
Gongsun Zan felt the same way, he was also the border guard, except that Ma Teng was in Xiliang and he was in Bingzhou, but the situation was very similar. Guarding the border has always been the most difficult job, not only to fight against foreigners all the year round, but also to endure the cold weather. The climate and food were not as sufficient as in the Central Plains, so he was the first to stand up to support Li Yuan's point of view.

"I, Sun Wentai, also think that General Ma should be the leader of the alliance!" Sun Jian did not say a word from the beginning to the end, and chose to support Ma Teng as soon as he opened his mouth. He had already heard that Ma Teng was highly skilled in martial arts and extremely brave. Literary people like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are more willing to support Ma Teng.

Seeing that there are three princes supporting Ma Teng, and they are all tyrannical, Li Yuan, who became famous at a young age, Gongsun Zan, who is famous, and Sun Jian, who is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong. With the support of these three people, Ma Teng can be said to be the leader Sixty to seventy percent sure it can be taken down.

However, Ma Teng himself has no interest in the position of the leader of the alliance. He clasped his fists to Li Yuan and the three of them and said, "Thanks to the love of the three, but I, Ma, really dare not take it on. How dare I compare myself with the princes in terms of resourcefulness, talent and virtue, in my opinion, the position of leader is still suitable for the prefect Yuan Shao to sit on."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed to hear that Ma Teng was willing to give up the position of leader. Not to mention him, the rest of the people did not expect Ma Teng to be so humble. The ilk couldn't sit even if he wanted to, but now you can sit but don't sit, this is really more angry than people, and in Yuan Shu's eyes, Ma Teng is as stupid as a pig.

In the end, Yuan Shao became the leader because of Ma Teng's abandonment.

Yuan Shao said: "Although Shao is not talented, but since the gentlemen have elected me as the leader of the alliance, I will definitely reward those who make meritorious deeds and punish those who commit crimes. The state has permanent punishment, and the army has discipline. Everyone should abide by it and not violate it."

Then Yuan Shao asked Yuan Shu to be the governor of grain and grass.Yuan Shu was not happy when he heard that Yuan Shao asked him to do logistics, but Yuan Shao was already the leader of the alliance.

Looking at Yuan Shu's sullen back, Yuan Shao was very happy in his heart, thinking that you must not listen to me once, and then continued: "Now I heard that Dong Bandit has sent an army to Hulao Pass, the vanguard is Hua Xiong, I want to send a member to go Who wants to be the vanguard if he will be defeated?"

"I would like to be a pioneer!" Sun Jian walked out first, and saw that he had a broad forehead, a broad face, and a tiger's waist. At first glance, he knew that he was a fierce general, and the name of Jiangdong Tiger was not for nothing.

"Okay, Sun Jian, I order you to be the forward of the coalition army, and lead our troops to Hulao Pass to defeat Huaxiong and meet our army. Here, I wish you a successful start!" Yuan Shao ordered, and he could not think of anyone except Sun Jian. Be a pioneer, after all, Sun Jian's bravery is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Decree!" Sun Jian took the order and left.

After Sun Jian left, Yuan Shao said: "The rest of the princes will return to their various ministries to rectify their troops. When Sun Jian hears the good news, we will enter Hulao Pass and take Luoyang directly!"

After the crowd dispersed, Li Yuan returned to the camp and called them together to discuss matters.

"My lord, I don't know what will be the result of the princes' meeting today?" Cheng Yu asked impatiently, not only him, but everyone else was curious.

"Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao competed for the position of the leader of the alliance. Ma Teng humbly let him be the leader of the alliance, and Yuan Shao won. Later, Yuan Shu was sent to supervise the food and grass, and Sun Jian was sent as the vanguard to attack Huaxiong who came to guard Hulao Pass." Li Yuan fully explained what happened just now Say it again.

"The subordinates really don't understand why Ma Teng is unwilling to be the leader of the alliance. Could it be that he is really a nameless one?" Liu Pi wondered, even he who was far away in Runan had heard of Ma Teng's reputation in Xiliang.

"No and no." Xi Zhicai shook his head and smiled, "Ma Teng has been a soldier all his life and has made great military exploits. He has his reasons for doing so."

"What is the reason why he doesn't even take the position of the leader of the alliance. You must know that the position of the leader of the alliance can command thousands of troops. If he really wants to capture Luoyang and kill Dong Zhuo, then this credit can be called Megatron Huaxia." Understanding Ma Teng's meaning, in his opinion, being the leader has only advantages and no disadvantages.

"Ma Teng knows the advantages of being the leader of the alliance, but there are also many disadvantages besides the advantages." Xi Zhicai's eyes were shining with the light of wisdom, "According to what the lord said just now, we can know that Yuan Shao really wants to be the leader of the alliance. If Ma Teng really wants to sit down, he will definitely offend Yuan Shao, although his Ma family is well-known, but the Yuan family is also four generations and three princes, so it is also not easy to mess with, this is one of them."

As for the second play Zhicai did not continue, but looked at Cheng Yu who was aside. He knew that although Cheng Yu had great wisdom, he was not very convincing as a newcomer, so he deliberately left a chance for him to show off. .
