The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

"When the Ten Eunuchs rebelled, you were just people who curry favor with the powerful. Even when Luoyang was in danger, you were not even as fast as Dong Zhuo in arriving."

"In terms of ability and character, how are you better than me?"

"In terms of courage and guts, you don't even have the qualifications to talk to me here."

"I was able to keep the plain safe with my humble efforts. The former emperor was impressed by my talent and courage."

"I am not afraid of He Jin, my relative, and I have killed seven of the Twelve Eunuchs."

"I established my roots in the bitter cold of the northern frontier. In less than two months, I conquered the northern frontier. I am the second Han marquis to resist the wolf and drink water from the vast sea."

"And I am also the first Han Chanyu who made all the northern barbarians submit and was honored as Mohe."

"what about you?"

Liu Zhaoqing's voice is deafening, but it is all true, and that is why it makes many people feel ashamed.

"What qualifications do you have to be compared with me?" Liu Zhaoqing asked coldly, "If it weren't for the crisis facing the world right now, do you think you have the ability to stand with me?"

"As for my strength, I have only one word to say: even if you have thirty or twenty thousand soldiers, my thousands of Yellow Turban cavalry and infantry can slaughter them all in half a day."

"If you don't believe it, just give it a try."

It was the first time for many people present to see Liu Zhaoqing being so rude. He was even short of calling out names and scolding others.

And the most important thing is that Liu Zhaoqing listed his own deeds while being frank and fully explained why he was qualified.

If he is not qualified to be the leader, then who is qualified?

The reason why he didn't want to be the leader was because it didn't benefit him much, but it wasn't because he was not qualified.

And because of Liu Zhaoqing's last very impolite words, the atmosphere at the entire banquet reached freezing point.

Many people felt that it was inappropriate for a vassal state to say something that was detrimental to the alliance.

But they also knew that Liu Zhaoqing was angry, and no one dared to provoke his anger at this time.

Otherwise, he might end up like Han Fu, Zhang Yang and other Hebei princes, who were directly given a poem and nailed to the pillar of shame in history. That would be a big deal.

"Great, great!" Zhang Fei clapped his hands excitedly.

Zhang Fei was the first to break the silence. She didn't care what the princes thought. After hearing what Liu Zhaoqing said, she felt as refreshed as if she had smashed a stinky stone that had been blocking her way for a long time with one punch.

This time Liu Bei did not stop Zhang Fei from being rude, and Guan Yu did the same. Both of them smiled to varying degrees.

Cao Ren was sitting with his mouth slightly open. She didn't expect that the usually gentle and easy-going "literary man" would have such a strong side.

Xun Yu was not affected by Gongsun Zan who was applauding in front of him, and just nodded slightly to Liu Zhaoqing.

Humility does not mean retreating blindly. Some of the princes are old, and sometimes they need to be reminded so that they don't forget who is standing in the middle of the banquet.

"Hahaha."

Only Cao Cao laughed directly, which was even more excessive than Zhang Fei.

This time she did not make any explanation or cover-up. She was just venting her joy and laughing at these people who had no self-awareness.

Although Yuan Shao's expression did not change much at this moment while he was sitting in a high position, his eyes looking at Liu Zhaoqing and his clenched fists on the table showed his inner unrest.

It is more difficult to "destroy someone's heart" than to "kill someone".

At this moment, Zhang Yang, Han Fu and the others had neither the thought nor the courage to refute. Their faces changed and their hands holding the wine bottles were shaking to varying degrees.

Both anger and fear.

From Liu Zhaoqing's perspective, these words are indeed very heartbreaking, but Yuan Shao cannot express his emotions directly like Zhang Fei and Cao Cao.

The alliance cannot be disbanded. As the initiator of the anti-Dong movement, her first consideration should be the stability of the alliance.

So at this time she had to come out to smooth things over.

“Marquis Changping’s deeds are certainly worthy of any position. With your joining, my anti-Dong alliance will surely be able to kill Dong Zhuo and support the Han Dynasty.” Yuan Shao smiled and raised the golden wine jar in his hand.

"I, Yuan Shao, on behalf of Bohai and myself, offer a glass of wine to the Marquis of Changping."

Seeing this, Liu Zhaoqing was about to walk to his seat.

But at this time Cao Cao took out another wine bottle from his sleeve, handed it to him, and whispered: "Don't move, otherwise you will ruin your aura."

Let’s not complain about this sentence first. Liu Zhaoqing was very curious why Cao Cao carried a wine jar with him?

Moreover, this piece is as white as jade, completely different from those used at banquets, and is obviously her own.

However, Liu Zhaoqing didn't want to worry about these things at this time. Yuan Shao's hand was still raised waiting for his response. He didn't want to get his arm sore.

Now that we have the wine jar, all we need is good wine.

Zhang Fei on the other side was very clear-headed at this time and immediately realized that Liu Zhaoqing needed wine. But when she was about to get up and take the wine jug to pour him a glass and pat him on the shoulder and praise him a few words, a breeze blew beside her.

A tall figure walked past Zhang Fei. Seeing the short-haired figure from behind, Zhang Fei frowned.

what's the situation?

Liu Zhaoqing also showed a slightly surprised expression. He did not expect Cao Ren to come with a wine jug to pour wine for him.

After Cao Ren poured half a cup with an expressionless face, Liu Zhaoqing raised his cup to Yuan Shao who was waiting for him, and then they both drank it up at the same time.

"I didn't expect Zhao Qing to have such a good alcohol tolerance."

After Liu Zhaoqing drank it all, Yuan Shao also praised him highly.

At the same time, Yuan Shao did not forget the others.

"And the governor of Hanzhou, and all those who have misunderstood Zhao Qing." Yuan Shao poured another glass of wine into his wine jar.

"I understand that you are worried, but at this moment, I hope that we can put the overall situation first and not create problems at this time. Not only will it make others laugh at it, but it will also give Dong Zhuo an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Yuan Shao said solemnly: "At this moment, you should focus on opposing Dong."

Han Fu on the other side looked at Yuan Shao, and then at Liu Zhaoqing. Liu Zhaoqing looked straight at him without avoiding.

After a moment of silence, Han Fu said to Zhang He beside him, "Pour the wine."

After the wine jar was slowly filled up, Han Fu picked up the jar and drank it all in one gulp towards Yuan Shao.

"Since Governor Yuan said so, we should give Governor Yuan some face."

Since Yuan Shao dared to give him a way out, he certainly dared to take it.

But this also proves that Han Fu was still a coward.

Zhang Yang, who was sitting not far away, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids when he saw this. As a former "victim" who was also from Hebei, he had to collude with Han Fu in order to influence Yuan Shao's decision.

Now that Han Fu has given in, if he still insists, he will be like the monkey trainer on the streets of Taiyuan, for the entertainment of the princes of the world.

Naturally, Zhang Yang also poured a glass of wine, said similar words to Yuan Shao to give Yuan Shao face, and drank the glass of wine.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao also smiled.

Although these people are definitely not sincere, everything will be fine as long as they don't start a quarrel.

Since the princes who were most opposed to Liu Zhaoqing at the beginning gave in, the other neutral princes certainly had no reason not to approve.

"Congratulations to Marquis Changping, oh no, it should be Alliance Leader Liu."

"Compared to Liu, we are like fireflies compared to the bright moon."

"Alas, the world is full of turmoil, but there are few people like Marquis Changping. Not only is his ability higher than the clouds, but his character is also comparable to that of a role model. I feel relieved to leave the alliance to such a person to helm it."

……

After the doubts were crushed with one punch, endless praise followed.

If you want to praise Liu Zhaoqing, there are plenty of reasons and deeds to praise him.

On the contrary, it is a bit difficult to find his weaknesses and attack him.

Perhaps if Chen Lin under Yuan Shao was given one night, he could write a "Proclamation to Punish Liu Bei", but it was definitely not written by these princes.

In response to the praise, Liu Zhaoqing signaled Cao Ren to pour him another glass of wine, and then he drank with the princes who came to congratulate him.

Unlike drinking with Yuan Shao, Liu Zhaoqing just took a sip at this time.

After almost all the princes had no objections, Yuan Shao finally smiled again.

"This is the right thing to do."

As an anti-Dong alliance, unity is what she hopes to see.

"Well, since everyone has no objection, the most important position of leader is decided, and Liu Zhaoqing will take the position."

Liu Zhaoqing bowed his head slightly: "Thank you all for your trust. I will use my own methods to lead the alliance to achieve the goal of opposing Dong."

"But..." Liu Zhaoqing suddenly changed the subject, looked at Yuan Shao and bowed.

"I have never had the experience of commanding so many princes, so I am sure there will be many shortcomings. Therefore, I hope that Governor Yuan will also be willing to serve as the leader with me."

"Huh? Me, together?" Yuan Shao was surprised. Obviously he didn't expect Liu Zhaoqing to say that.

"Together? Can it have two heads? It's not a six-headed dragon." Zhang Fei muttered in surprise in the audience.

This was also the doubt in the minds of other princes. Although it was a good thing that Liu Zhaoqing dared to share power, but wasn't it a taboo in military strategy to have two commanders in one army? With Liu Zhaoqing's record, it was impossible for him not to know this.

"Zhao Qing wants Sister Benchu ​​to help him." At this time, Cao Cao, who had been smiling, helped to explain.

"Just like some of the generals here would bring their deputies with them to help make decisions or assist in the battle when they go into battle, there can also be such a position in the alliance."

"Sister Benchu ​​can definitely be the 'Deputy Alliance Leader' and act as the Alliance Leader when Zhao Qing is confused or not in the alliance."

"In this way, not only will the alliance's overall planning be guaranteed, but we will also be more assured that the alliance will not make major decision-making mistakes."

After Cao Cao spoke a few eloquent words, Yuan Shao finally understood what he said.

"Deputy leader..." This is a new word for Yuan Shao and most people.

As soon as this proposal came out, the other princes fully agreed.

Originally, their candidate for alliance leader was Yuan Shao, but unexpectedly, Yuan Shao thought that he was not the best candidate and instead recommended Liu Zhaoqing.

The latter is indeed qualified, but wouldn’t it be better if Yuan Shao could also be the leader of the alliance?

After all, most of the princes present had a good relationship with Yuan Shao, and princes like Han Fu and Zhang Yang who had conflicts with Liu Zhaoqing were more willing to listen to Yuan Shao's words.

Therefore, this proposal was quickly discussed enthusiastically and turned into waves on the sea, constantly persuading Yuan Shao to agree to it.

Yuan Shao hesitated at this time. If it were in the past, she would certainly think that the position of leader of the alliance belonged to her.

Even if he refused on the surface, he was still very proud to take it in his heart.

But now... after the comparison, Yuan Shao was a little doubtful whether he could achieve the same success as Liu Zhaoqing.

Even when she did those things in Luoyang, it was actually all because of Liu Zhaoqing's example.

The man standing in the middle of the banquet had a great inspiration and influence on her, although he himself did not know it.

"Please agree, Sister Benchu. Otherwise, I don't want to be the leader of the alliance anymore. Just leave it to you, Sister Benchu." At this time, Liu Zhaoqing also bowed and said to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao looked at Liu Zhaoqing helplessly, then glanced at the smiling Cao Cao.

-

It was almost late at night when we returned to the tent from the banquet.

Liu Bei had a lot to say to Liu Zhaoqing, but because Zhang Fei was in a good mood and had drunk a lot of wine after finalizing the candidate for the alliance leader, she had to help Guan Yu and Zhang Fei return to the tent to rest.

Although Gongsun Zan was still drunk, he was still a little confused and even took the wrong path. Liu Zhaoqing had no choice but to ask Xun Yu to take the White Horse General back to the tent first.

Because it was too late, the other princes returned to their respective camps. Even Yuan Shao, who had been busy all day preparing for the banquet, was tired after finalizing the result.

The matter that was supposed to be discussed with Liu Zhaoqing and others was postponed to tomorrow.

On the way back to the camp, Liu Zhaoqing happened to meet Cao Cao.

It was said to be a coincidence, but in fact, the latter was on his way back, standing by a flagpole under the moonlight, waiting for him.

And beside her was her cousin Cao Ren.

Originally, Cao Cao and Liu Zhaoqing's tents were not far apart, so it was normal for them to go back together.

"I am very satisfied that Zhao Qing could say such words just now."

While walking with Liu Zhaoqing, Cao Cao also praised Liu Zhaoqing.

"This is the temperament of a person who can write such poetry."
