Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 177 Choosing a leader (3)

"General Zhao, what is there to say? General Zhao deserves to be the leader of the alliance." Liu Bei said suddenly at this moment.His words made Zhao Lei even more passive.

After Yuan Shu heard this, he smiled sinisterly.At this time, Liu Bei cooperated with Yuan Shu out loud, which made Yuan Shu very satisfied.

"Look, the family members of the great Han Dynasty have already said, I told General Zhao that you should not refuse any more." Yuan Shu said smoothly.

Just as Yuan Shu was speaking, a resounding slap came.

"Are you qualified to speak here?" It was Zhao Lei who hit him.

"Come on, drag Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei out for me." Zhao Lei said angrily.

Liu Bei looked at Zhao Lei with a dull expression, he didn't expect Zhao Lei to beat someone in public.

"Have you guys had enough trouble! One night Liu Bei and Yuan Shu bothered me, do you think I, Zhao Zihan, are easy to mess with?" Zhao Lei roared, drawing out his Lightning Sword.

Below Cao Cao, Kong Rong saw Zhao Lei's movements and said, "Zihan, everyone is recommending you! Why are you angry? I also agree with Gonglu. Song and other important officials in the court have a lot of connections, and you are the governor of Mushou's side, I think you are more than enough to be the leader of the alliance, I believe that many colleagues are still very relieved of you as the leader of the alliance."

Cao Cao gave Kong Rong a look of contempt, and said in a low voice, "Wenju, this situation is already chaotic enough. If you interfere like this, won't it make the situation even more uncontrollable?"

Kong Rong said in a low voice: "Meng De, I'm just telling the truth. Is it possible that the election leader must tell lies?" Kong Rong said without fear of Cao Cao's accusation.

Cao Cao sighed when he heard the words, and his eyes fell on Zhao Lei, only to see Zhao Lei's decision.How the current situation will develop into this is really unpredictable.

After the soldiers took Liu Bei out, Zhao Lei turned his gaze back to Yuan Shao. At this time, Yuan Shao was already grim, staring at Yuan Shu for a while, Zhao Lei for a while, Liu Dai for a while, and Cao Cao for a while.His eyes continued to shoot out raging anger, and his patience was about to reach its limit.

"General Zhao, Gonglu, Wenju, and Inspector Liu have all elected you as the leader of the alliance. I think you will follow everyone's wishes and become the leader of the alliance!" Yuan Shao's words also gave Zhao Lei an ultimatum, and you will not express your opinion , I, Yuan Benchu, will not be polite.

Zhao Lei sighed, this is really, the authorities are fascinated, Yuan Shao is really jealous for the position of the leader.I can't even grasp the situation well.

Zhao Lei put away the Lightning Light Sword, cupped his hands towards the princes and said, "My lords, please listen to me. Zhao Lei is absolutely unworthy of the position of leader."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao heaved a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face eased a lot.

"Why?" Kong Rong continued to ask without letting Zhao Lei go.

Zhao Lei rolled Kong Rong's eyes, and said angrily in his heart, this idiot old man, he didn't offend him, why did he force himself again and again today?
Zhao Lei replied: "My lords, Zhao Lei is only in his early twenties and has just passed the coronation ceremony. All of you here say that they are older than Zhao Lei. Everyone's prestige and ability are not inferior to Zi Han. For example, Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping, General, General Gongsun has been stationed at the border for many years. He fought bravely and has always defended our great Han country from being invaded by barbarians. General Gongsun has contributed a lot."

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he also smiled complacently.Zhao Lei was doing free advertising for him.

Randomly, Zhao Lei turned his gaze to Ma Teng, governor of Liangzhou.

"After Ma Yuan, governor of Liangzhou, General Ma Teng has been conscientiously guarding Liangzhou for many years to prevent the invasion of the Qiang people. He also contributed a lot."

From general Gongsun Zan to Ma Teng, Zhao Lei counted the achievements of the princes in the big tent one by one.

After hearing Zhao Lei's words, all the princes liked Zhao Lei very much, and secretly praised Zhao Lei as a young man, but he was sensible and good at being a man.

This remark was naturally said by Zhao Lei according to history, and the purpose was to make friends with the princes from all walks of life.

After hearing Zhao Lei's words, these princes were also complacent. After all, when Zhao Lei spoke, he publicized his achievements in front of so many princes.

Finally, Zhao Lei suddenly said to himself: "On the other hand, Zhao Lei, although he is a general of the imperial court, but his qualifications are still high. Compared with the beginning, he is far behind. In the beginning, he swept the Yellow Turbans in the Central Plains and was invincible. But I am in Hebei At that time, he fought hard with Zhang Jiao and was lucky enough to win. Benchu ​​was born in Yuan's family, and his fourth son was a third son, so he surpassed Zihan in prestige. The most important point is that Benchu ​​could tear down his dignity in front of everyone. Apologize to me on behalf of Yuan Gonglu, such a broad-minded person, shouldn't he be the leader of our princes and alliance this time?"

Zhao Lei's words were neither humble nor overbearing, and they were loud and clear.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Lei said loudly with a sincere expression: "Wen Jugong, Yuan Gonglu, and Liu Shishi elected Zhao Lei as the leader of the alliance. Zhao Lei was very happy in his heart, but he was more than happy. It is not as good as the beginning in any aspect, how can it be the leader of the alliance?"

After a pause, Zhao Leiyou said: "For the sake of speaking, let's make a decision!"

After Zhao Lei finished speaking, the big tent became quiet again.

After listening to Zhao Lei's words, although Yuan Shao's face was expressionless, his heart was already elated by Zhao Lei's words.

Cao Cao's eyes were complicated, and he looked at Zhao Lei with extremely complicated emotions.

This Zhao Lei is really good at speaking, and what he said is so seamless that it sounds very comfortable.

When the princes were still savoring Zhao Lei's words, Zhao Lei suddenly bowed to Yuan Shao and shouted: "Zhao Lei pays homage to the leader!"

Hearing Zhao Lei's words, Cao Cao was the first to react, bowed to Yuan Shao, and said, "Cao Cao pays homage to the leader!"

Immediately afterwards, other princes in the hall such as Kong Rong, Gongsun Zan, and Tao Qian all worshiped Yuan Shao as their leader.The situation was immediately reversed by Zhao Lei.Yuan Shu saw that his mind was lost, so he could only stand up reluctantly, bowed to Yuan Shao, and said disdainfully, "Meet the leader."

At this time Yuan Shao returned to the high-spirited him just now, and he said with a serious face: "Thanks to everyone who thinks of Yuan Shao. covenant. "

A farce vying for the leader has come to a successful conclusion.

Although the process was somewhat risky, with Zhao Lei's continuous efforts, it was still carried out according to Cao Cao's plan.

On the second day, in the center of the Allied camp, a high platform was erected facing south.On the high platform, animals and sacrifices for offering sacrifices to heaven and earth were placed. Yuan Shao put his left hand on the sword at his waist. He was wearing armor, a big red cloak, and a golden helmet on his head. He strode up the steps and walked up to the altar.Zhao Lei stood closest to the bottom of the altar, followed by Cao Cao and Yuan Shu on both sides.The rest of the princes are all lined up side by side.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the main force of the allied army this time is mainly the soldiers and horses of four people, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and Zhao Lei.In particular, Yuan Shao and Zhao Lei each had 2 horses in their hands, plus Cao Cao's 1 horses and Yuan Shu's 7000 people maimed by Zhao Lei, plus other princes with as many as 15 or as little as [-] or [-] horses, the entire Allied army There are more than [-] troops in total.Compared with Dong Zhuo's [-] army, it can be regarded as evenly matched.

When Yuan Shao walked up to the stage, several soldiers brought up some livestock. Yuan Shao chopped off the heads of the livestock with a few swords. After processing, the soldiers handed bowls of blood wine to each prince. .

Looking at the blood wine, Zhao Lei felt nauseated.Zhao Lei now understands that this is what offering sacrifices to the heavens was all about in ancient times.

Yuan Shao glanced over all the princes, not forgetting to show off his majesty.He shook his cloak, and then said loudly: "The Han Dynasty is unfortunate, the emperor is out of order, the traitor Dong Zhuo, who took advantage of the provocation, abused the people, Shao and others feared the loss of the country, gathered volunteers, and went to the national calamity , where we are in an alliance, work together, so that the ministers will have no two ambitions, and if you violate this alliance, heaven and earth will perish, the emperor and the queen, the ancestors and the spirit, all learn from it." Yuan Shao's voice was loud and his face flushed. Gleaming with endless pride.

Power is indeed the scariest thing in this world.

Below the altar, a group of princes and soldiers shouted and swore an oath of alliance.

Zhao Lei stood at the forefront of the princes, looked at Yuan Shao who was in high spirits, and shook his head secretly. Does Yuan Shao care so much about such a distorted alliance of princes?

Can just swearing an oath gather the power to defeat Dong Zhuo?

Zhao Lei thought from the bottom of his heart that this kind of alliance of interests is the most unreliable. Once it touches the interests of the princes from all walks of life, it will fall apart. Moreover, Yuan Shao himself is also a prince of the same road. When something happens, Yuan Shao may be the first to destroy the alliance. sworn.

After the oath of alliance was completed, Yuan Shao officially ordered the princes to become the leader of the princes.

Standing on the altar, Yuan Shao looked serious, his eyes were piercing, and he looked like a leader. At a glance, he was majestic and imposing.

Yuan Shu in the audience looked at his elder brother with jealousy in his heart.
