The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 723
At the meeting, Guo Si suddenly stood up and made his speech, which attracted the attention of all the kings.

Although Liu Zhang didn't know what Guo Si was thinking, he was very nervous at the moment, and wanted to secretly raise his hand and tug Guo Si's sleeve to make him sit down, but he was afraid of being caught by someone irrelevant. Seeing this, I had to lower my head, pretending to be deaf and dumb and not making a sound.

Meng Huo stared at Guo Si for a while, then suddenly said: "Although Liu Zhang is a guest of the cave master we brought, he is Han after all. Now we are waiting for the kings to discuss to seize the land of the Han people in Xichuan. I'm afraid it's not suitable for you to listen in because of your status?" After speaking, it seemed that he had the intention of chasing people away.

Guo Si's face was the same, but he still kept his usual prodigal smile, and said: "Master Meng, don't be suspicious, the fight between the Han people and the barbarians for Xichuan has nothing to do with my family, Liu Yizhou, but Liu Bei is taking the tyrants by force. The enemy who took my lord's back cover is also the enemy, this hatred is irreconcilable! From this point of view, my lord and the kings should stand in the same camp on this matter. Although they have different ideas, they have the same purpose, so why bother to divide them?"

Meng Huo couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

Vulcan Cave Zhu Jiao stroked his beard, nodded and said: "Mr. Guo Si's words are not bad, not to mention that the opinion he just put forward is also very suitable for our current situation. There are many kings here. If we don't elect a leader... or It is the leader of the alliance, and it is really impossible to compete with the soldiers and horses in Sichuan! What do you think?"

All the barbarian kings looked at me and I looked at you, and nodded in agreement.

But if you agree, who should you choose as the leader of the alliance?
Wu Tugu stood up first, and said: "King Meng is the youngest among all the kings, he can be called a young hero, and he is brave enough to surpass the world. This king chooses King Meng as the leader of the alliance!"

After bringing the cave master, he said: "The God of Fire wishes the old cave master to be mature and prudent. His prestige has been stationed in Nanzhong for more than [-] years. It can be said that it is deeply rooted. This king chooses the old cave master as the leader!"

King Mulu: "King Wutugu is the number one warrior in the Southern Man. He is powerful against ten thousand people and no one can beat him. This king thinks he is the most suitable!"

"........."

"........."

The kings chirped and chattered, you said something to each other, and it took a long time to decide on a specific candidate. In the end, King Duosi was worthy of the name of a wise man, and said: "My lords, according to this king, Liu Yizhou is a guest living in Nanzhong. His words are more objective and fair without interfering with the interests of our clans, why don't you listen to his opinions?"

When Liu Zhang heard this, he was shocked at first, but quietly turned his face to Guo Si who was beside him. Guo Si winked at him, and then nodded encouragingly.

Liu Zhang seemed to gain strength for a moment, summoned up his courage, and recited the words he had agreed with Guo Si before he came.

"Everyone, take Zhang as a point of view. The position of the leader of the alliance cannot be judged by bravery or age, but by talent. As we all know, Zhang has a deep friendship with Zhu Laodong, the master of Vulcan Cave. With reason, I should recommend Zhu Laodong." Lord, it is about the foundation of Nanzhong and the future of everyone. Liu Zhang must not abolish the public for personal reasons. I wish the old Dongzhu, although he is highly respected, is old after all, and his courage and spirit are far inferior to young people. As we all know, Meng Huo, the barbarian king, is young, quite majestic, with great wisdom and courage, and powerful in all gangs. He is indeed the best candidate for the leader! Although Liu Zhang has some rifts with him, but because of public affairs, the leader The position really must belong to King Meng."

After saying these words, the whole audience was shocked. The kings never expected that Liu Zhang not only did not recommend Zhu Jiaohe, who had a good relationship with him, to bring the Cave Master, but instead recommended Meng Huo, who was the opposite of him. He is clear and straight, and all things are for the sake of the overall situation. Cheng can be said to be broad-minded.

I don't know who took the lead, but everyone applauded Liu Zhang.

In the end, Meng Huo really became the leader of the alliance and was responsible for leading all the clans to attack Xichuan.

After the meeting, Liu Zhang and Guo Si went back to the camp together. On the way, Liu Zhang asked Guo Si in a low voice.

"Sir, you don't know how to keep saying that if you want to support me as the leader of Nanzhong, Meng Huo must be the biggest enemy and must be pulled out! But today you asked me to recommend him as the leader and establish prestige for him. Why?"

Guo Si smiled and said: "Liu Yizhou, you are an honest person, and you don't know the mystery of this. All clans put their interests first. On the surface, this leader is majestic and prestige in commanding all clans, but in fact he is a thankless person. As the leader of the alliance, Meng Huo, as the leader of the alliance, has to take the most from both the source of troops and the food and fodder. If he does not take If there are the most people, they will be hostile by the kings. This is one of them...Second, when the interests of the captured states, counties and cities are divided, Meng Huo, as the leader of the alliance, must distribute them properly. The hostility of the kings is the second thing. Thirdly, as the leader of the alliance, Meng Huo must be hostile if he has selfish intentions and is known to the kings. Hehe, if he wants to be the leader of the alliance, he must have corresponding It's a pity that Meng Huo doesn't have that ability, and this leader will not only weaken his strength, but also weaken his prestige, just take care of it."

When Liu Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly realized: "So the master asked me to push a disgusting person's job to him? It's a pity that Meng Huo didn't expect this crucial layer, and he thanked me."

Guo Si hehe said: "It's not just Meng Huo, what you said today has greatly changed the king's impression of you, Liu Yizhou. At least from your impassionedness just now, and putting yourself in their shoes, at least they won't take it anymore. You are an outsider."

Liu Zhang couldn't help but gave a thumbs up, and said, "Just choosing a leader, there are so many things to say, sir, you are truly extraordinary."

***********************
On Nanzhong's side, Jinluo was agitating densely, while on Xichuan's side, Yongliang's army had already rushed in under Zhao Yun's command.

Zhao Yun sent three vanguard troops, led by General Hao Zhao, led [-] elite soldiers, went straight out of the inclined valley, built roads in the mountains, and built bridges when they met the water. Wang Ping led [-] troops and left Ziwu Valley. Zhao Yun and other generals followed closely behind and rushed to Hanzhong in the starry night.

Zhao Yun's generals have only one thing, that is, the speed of soldiers is precious, and you must stop!

The army showed its sharpness and went straight to Yangping Pass.

At this time, Pang Tong, Wei Yan and others had not yet arrived, and the one guarding Yangping Pass was the famous Shu general, Huo Jun, who could be said to be the best general under Liu Bei's account who was good at guarding the pass.

In the Battle of Hanzhong that year, Huo Jun was one of the better ones, but at that time he often coughed, and his physical condition was not very good. Now it is getting worse, and he is already lying on the bed to recuperate. Huo Jun didn't dare to take a break, so he hurriedly forced himself to get up, while dispatching troops and generals, he quickly sent troops to the rear to urge reinforcements.

The three-way vanguard cleared the obstacles and arrived at Yangping Pass. Zhang Xiu rode his horse to the pass, vaguely saw Huo Jun guarding the pass in person, raised his whip and shouted: "Listen to the thief generals at the pass, I am Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the North! He ordered the heavenly troops to attack Shu, and those who know how to deal with them should hurry up and surrender as soon as possible, and they will be hired according to their original positions. If they are obsessed with their obsessions and break through the barriers, no one will be left behind!"

Huo Jun coughed and sneered, and didn't answer, but ordered the crossbowmen to shoot arrows.

Seeing Huo Jun ignoring her, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but lose face with the boss, so she went back to the battle to discuss with Wang Ping and Hao Zhao, and planned to grab the pass.

Hao Zhaowen said with a smile: "The general knows that the road to Shu is difficult to conquer, especially the majestic passes such as Yangping, Jiange and other places, which can be easily obtained by soldiers and horses, so he deployed all the magical weapons that Ma Jun has supervised over the years to our country. Wait until the side that conquers Western Shu has not yet arrived, so it’s not easy to attack by force, and after a few days of bed crossbows and thundering stone chariots arrive, it won’t be too late to let Huo Jun know how powerful he is.”

Zhang Xiu snorted when he heard the words, and said, "Forget it, even if it's cheaper than Huo Jun!"

*****************
The three-way vanguard army has reached Yangping Pass, but Zhao Yun and other troops have not yet arrived. On the way, the boss Jia Xu reluctantly followed Zhao Yun. He didn't want to go through this muddy water, but Yuan Shang asked him to follow Zhao Yun Expedition to the west together made Jia Xu very unhappy.

Along the way, I saw people passing letters to Zhao Yun with flying pigeons. Jia Xu couldn't help being curious, and finally couldn't bear it once, and said: "This battle hasn't been fought yet, you always use pigeon whistles to pass some information." What information? But what's the point?"

Zhao Yun didn't hide anything from Jia Xu, and said, "It's not for any important matter, it's really for one person."

"one person?"

"Yes." Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Back then in Hanzhong, there was a man who fought repeatedly and was defeated repeatedly, and ended up being captured and released by our army. Son, but now I don’t know if it’s useful or not?”

Jia Xu rolled her eyes, became interested, and asked, "Who?"

"Wei Yan."
