Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 176 Choosing a leader (2)

A farce ended with Cao Cao's words, and the atmosphere became active again.

At the banquet, everyone clinked glasses with each other, seeming to have forgotten the unpleasant things just now, and everyone was very happy.

After Yuan Shu drank a few glasses of wine, his face instantly turned as red as an apple, as if he was a little drunk.At this time, he suddenly stood up, holding a wine glass, walked towards Zhao Lei, and shouted loudly: "Zhao Lei, what happened outside Chenliu City today is very offending, I overestimated my ability to fight against General Zhao's army, I really brought shame on myself. Come, this glass of wine, I apologize to you, after drinking this glass of wine, our grievances will be wiped out!"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shu didn't wait for Zhao Lei's answer, so he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup. After drinking, Yuan Shu showed a smile on his face, looked at Zhao Lei with a smile, and waited for Zhao Lei's reaction.

When Zhao Lei saw Yuan Shu apologizing to him, he was surprised at first, and then felt baffled.Because Yuan Shu's attitude was too arrogant just now, how can this be an apology?Is that an apology?

Zhao Lei thought about it, and with this attitude, he felt that this was not an apology.Instead, it was more like a demonstration against Zhao Lei.If it was a sincere apology, Zhao Lei would still be able to accept it, but with Yuan Shu's attitude, Zhao Lei wouldn't bother him at all.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei said, "Yuan Shu, is this an apology?" When Zhao Lei said that, he looked up at Yuan Shu with a blank expression on his face.

After hearing Zhao Lei's words, Yuan Shu's smiling expression suddenly froze.

Zhao Lei ignored him, but continued to say in a cold voice: "Since you are standing up and apologizing to me, you should act like an apology. What do you mean by calling me by my name? I don't think you have any sincerity at all. Since you don't Sincerely, I naturally do not accept your apology."

Yuan Shu was dumbfounded when he heard this, he never thought that Zhao Lei would reject his apology.

In fact, Yuan Shu just wanted to apologize to Zhao Lei when he was drunk. Youdao said that he uttered the truth after drinking.Besides, wanting to apologize to Zhao Lei in front of the princes also seemed to be able to afford it.Moreover, after Yuan Shu decided to apologize, Zhao Lei would definitely not refuse.Because all the princes who are doing it are present, Zhao Lei has to give Yuan Shu face no matter what?

But Zhao Lei's answer completely stunned Yuan Shu.Zhao Lei opened his mouth to reject Yuan Shu's apology, making Yuan Shu unable to step down.This is equivalent to Zhao Lei slapping Yuan Shu resoundingly.

It's really a wave of ups and downs, and another wave.Ever since Zhao Lei entered the big tent, he had conflicts with Zhang Fei first, and now he was tossing with Yuan Shu. He was really busy.

At this moment, all the princes' eyes were on Yuan Shu, to see how Yuan Shu would react?
"Zihan." Cao Cao said softly to Zhao Lei, reminding Zhao Lei that he had gone too far.

"Meng De, you don't want to talk too much. I, Zhao Lei's imposing General Wei, have been provoked by Yuan Gonglu many times since I came to Chenliu, and even clashed with my army outside Chenliu City. But I want our allies to unite Consistently, I have been forbearing and didn't care about Yuan Shu. But Yuan Shu is good, he has challenged my bottom line again and again, and now he still apologizes to me in this tone. What do you do, do you think I am your servant? ?" After Zhao Lei finished speaking, he drank a glass of wine, closed his eyes tightly, and ignored Yuan Shu.

After hearing Zhao Lei's words, all the princes shook their heads and sighed.

On the other hand, Yuan Shu's veins were exposed and his face was ferocious, as if he would not give up until he killed Zhao Lei.

At this time, Yuan Shao stood up, and suddenly cursed at Yuan Shu: "Gaolu, since it's an apology, it must look like an apology, don't be so frivolous, and embarrass our Yuan family."

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shao turned around and cupped his hands towards Zhao Lei and said, "Zihan, Gong Gong has always had this temper since he was a child, and he couldn't lose face, so his apology just now was a bit aggressive, but he didn't mean anything malicious, please forgive me, I'm here to help My brother apologizes to you."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao bent down and bowed to Zhao Lei, making a ninety-degree bow. This apology seemed very grand.

Seeing Yuan Shao, Zhao Lei could reject Yuan Shu, but he couldn't offend Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao is already like this, and Zhao Lei can only sigh and say: "At first, since you have pleaded for Gonglu, then I am not a narrow-minded person. From today on, things between me and Yuan Gonglu will not be resolved. Forget about it, and write it off. In the end, everyone gathered together to crusade against Dong Zhuo and revitalize the court, and they should be of one heart and one mind to eradicate the country's traitors."

Zhao Lei's speech was so beautiful that everyone present was inspired.

After listening to the conversation between Zhao Lei and Yuan Shao, various expressions appeared on Yuan Shu's face, anger, gratitude, inexplicable, helplessness, and shame.Now he really feels that he seems to be a bit worse than Yuan Shao in dealing with people.He sighed, didn't say anything more, flicked his sleeves, returned to the seat, and drank sullenly.

Yuan Shao personally apologized for Yuan Shu, and also let the princes see Yuan Shao's magnanimity.

This scene can be said to be exciting, all the princes watched it mesmerized, and Zhao Lei, as the protagonist in it, shined even more brilliantly.

"Come, come, everyone, drink, drink!"

Yuan Shaolang said: "Tonight is a happy time, everyone, don't make trouble anymore."

"Yes, yes, drink, drink!" Cao Cao also echoed.

After drinking for three rounds, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao stood up. Seeing this, Zhao Lei knew that the topic was coming.

Yuan Shao glanced at the various princes in the big tent with some drunken eyes, and then said slowly: "Everyone, I invite you heroes to my big tent today, not only for the banquet, but also for the sake of our allies. , elected a highly respected alliance leader. Our army gathered together in Chenliu to attack Dong Zhuo and revitalize the court. However, snakes cannot fly without heads, and birds cannot fly without wings. Without someone who can give orders, we cannot make our The allied army is invincible in the battle. Therefore, I suggest that you choose someone you recognize as the leader of the alliance to lead us, let's discuss it now!"

All of a sudden, there was noise in the big tent like a pot had exploded.

Liu Dai took the lead and said: "I propose General Zhao to be the leader of the alliance. General Zhao is the highest official among us, and the Yangzhou soldiers under him are also invincible. If he becomes the leader of the alliance, we will definitely be able to defeat Dong Zhuo and welcome him back. His Majesty."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao's expression turned ugly.Zhao Lei and Cao Cao scolded Liu Dai for being stupid at the same time in their hearts. They couldn't understand this situation, and they lived such an old age for nothing.

At this time, Kong Rong said: "Cao Mengde issued a call to attack Dong Zhuo, dissipated his family wealth, and cavalry attacked Dong. He has a big heart. I propose that Mengde be the leader of the alliance."

After both of them finished talking, there was still no Yuan Shao.At this time Yuan Shao's face became even more ugly.

Cao Cao was also very worried, because he had already made up his mind to elect Yuan Shao as the leader.He thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Wen Ju is too famous, what can he do. I think Yuan should be recommended..."

Just when Cao Cao was about to say that Yuan Shao should be elected as the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shu suddenly interrupted Cao Cao and said, "I disagree with Wen Ju's selection of Cao Mengde as the leader of the alliance. I agree with Liu Cishi's statement that General Zhao should be elected as the leader of the alliance. Zhao General is General Wei of the imperial court, and also a disciple of Cai Yong, who has enough ability to order officials from all walks of life."

Yuan Shu's words also surprised Zhao Lei. Yuan Shu had just fallen out with him before, so why is he recommending himself to be the leader now?You know, the lord Yuan Shu is also salivating.

The other princes were also surprised. Yuan Shu had a feud with Zhao Lei. They just had a falling out. Just now, Zhao Lei rejected Yuan Shu's apology without giving Yuan Shu any face. However, Yuan Shu, uncharacteristically, elected Zhao Lei as the leader.The princes from all walks of life were full of doubts, and they didn't understand what Yuan Shu was thinking.

The princes showed contemplative expressions and said nothing. In the big tent, there was silence, no one spoke, only the faint sound of breathing and beating heartbeat.

Yuan Shao was already a little angry when he heard Liu Dai and Kong Rong's words, but after Yuan Shu spoke, Yuan Shao immediately turned his gaze directly on Zhao Lei.At the same time, bursts of murderous aura emanated from his body.

Such eyes made Zhao Lei feel a chill down his spine, making him very uncomfortable...

In Yuan Shu's words, Zhao Lei became the focus of attention for the third time tonight.Zhao Lei also glared at Yuan Shu. He knew Yuan Shu's intentions. The reason why Yuan Shu said this was because he knew that Yuan Shao was determined to win the position of leader. Get rid of the stumbling blocks ahead.As soon as Yuan Shu recommended Zhao Lei, Zhao Lei immediately stood on Yuan Shao's hostile side.Moreover, Yuan Shu was doing this to save face for himself. Now that Zhao Lei had humiliated him so much, Yuan Shu could stand up and recommend Zhao Lei as the leader, at least in the eyes of others.

At the point when the situation was almost out of control, Zhao Lei knew that if he didn't stand up and say a few words, it would be impossible.

He stood up, bowed his fists to the princes, and said, "Masters, Zihan has something to say, please calm down and listen to what Zhao Lei has to say."

All of a sudden the audience fell silent, everyone wanted to hear what Zhao Lei had to say.

"Zihan, just say what you want!" Yuan Shao said angrily, his tone was not as humble as before.

Zhao Lei was amused in his heart, from this point of view, Yuan Shao is like this, he doesn't have enough heart and mind.When Zhao Lei first arrived in Chenliu, he had already expressed his support for Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance.Now because of Yuan Shu's little movement, which provoked the relationship between him and Zhao Lei, Yuan Shao was about to turn his back on him. Judging by Yuan Shao's expression, he didn't believe Zhao Lei at all.I was also dazzled by the idea of ​​being the leader.
