The lively banquet fell silent because of Wang Kuang's words about choosing the leader of the alliance, and no one spoke first.
"Everyone, this is after the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes.
The Yuan family has many old officials and descendants of famous ministers in the Han Dynasty, so they can assume the position of leader."
As the host, Cao Cao stood up to resolve the silent atmosphere.
Although he also wanted to be the leader of the alliance and knew that something like this would definitely happen when he invited the princes of the world, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai did not agree.
First, Yuan Shao brought the most troops and horses; second, Yuan Shao's identity is the most suitable candidate among the princes who came; third, it would be better if the challenge against Dong succeeds this time, but it does not succeed; fourth, there are many princes , relying on Cao Cao's identity, he couldn't be restrained at all.
Based on the above reasons, Cao Cao's dream of competing for the position of alliance leader was extinguished, so he stood up and recommended Yuan Shao.
Hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with joy, but he did not show it on his face.
He smiled and said: "Mengde has given me a great reward.
There are many loyal and righteous people here.
How can I be the leader of the alliance?"
"That's right.
I agree with General Cao's words."
Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, also stood up and said.
After all, as a member of the Yuan family, he himself has no chance.
However, if the position of alliance leader can fall on Yuan Shao's head, it is only to bring glory to the Yuan family.
Yuan Shu had secretly calculated that he was just like Yuan Shao, just a little worse than Yuan Shao, and could also fight for the position of alliance leader.
However, when he saw Yuan Yi standing up to recommend Yuan Shao, he was also very helpless.
There are three people in the Yuan family here, and one other person has stood up.
If he disagrees, isn't it going to make other people laugh and say that the Yuan family is not united and fighting among themselves?
He stood up unwillingly and said: "I Also agree” Seeing this, The other princes also had no opinions.
Except for Yuan Shao, three of the seventeen people supported Yuan Shao, not to mention that there were many people who were selling the Yuan family's face among the rest.
In that case, even if there was a vote, Yuan Shao would only become the leader of the alliance. , so there is no need to offend Yuan Shao for this matter.
"I'll second it," the others stood up one after another and said with cupped hands.
Yuan Shao also showed rare humility and declined again and again.
Only then, in response to the public's expectations, did he agree and said with a smile: "Thanks to your recommendation, I will definitely live up to your trust."
"Now that the leader of the alliance has been decided, we will build a platform tomorrow and swear an oath to raise troops to attack Dong Zhuo," Beihai Governor Kong Rong said.
"Very good."
Yuan Shao did not refute.
After all, this was a necessary process, and Kong Rong was also a great Confucian.
Some small requests still needed to be listened to.
After the matter was settled, the banquet returned to lively scenes, and everyone asked Yuan Shao to drink.
It wasn't until the second watch that everyone dispersed.
However, Liu Qi did not return to his camp, but instead approached Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan, who brought Liu Bei's three brothers back to the camp, looked puzzled when he heard Liu Qi looking for him.
After all, they had never communicated with each other, it could be said that they had never seen each other.
He didn't understand how Liu Qi came to him. .
Although he didn't understand it, he didn't refuse Liu Qi's request.
"I have met General Gongsun, Uncle Liu."
Liu Qi entered the camp and saluted Gongsun Zan who was sitting in the front, and Liu Bei who was sitting under Gongsun Zan.
This time he didn't bring anyone with him.
He only brought Guo Jia to Gongsun Zan's camp, while Dian Wei and the others stayed in their own camp.
"Nephew Liu Qixian, you're welcome," Liu Bei said with a smile.
He also wanted to know more about Liu Qi, who was a descendant of the Han clan like him, but this was not his home court, so he didn't say much.
He also wanted to know what Liu Qi was doing here.

"Xiannie Liu Qi, please sit down," Gongsun Zan also said politely.
"Thank you General Gongsun" Liu Qi was not polite and took Guo Jia to sit cross-legged behind an empty desk.
Guo Jia knelt down behind Liu Qi.
Gongsun Zan glanced at Liu Qi, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and nodded secretly, saying: "I don't know why Liu Qixian's nephew came to visit late at night."
Liu Qi did not hesitate, took out a small box from his arms, opened it, and found a valuable luminous pearl.
He put it on the table and said with a smile: "General Gongsun, I came here this time to use this luminous pearl." , exchange someone with General Gongsun."
"Who?"
Gongsun Zan frowned at this time.
"This person's name is Zhao Yun, with the courtesy name Zilong.
General Gongsun should know that I like to practice martial arts.
I heard that this person's marksmanship is a bit outstanding, so I wanted him to teach me.
Moreover, this person is working under General Gongsun, so I boldly come to seek him out.
General Gongsun," Liu Qi said half-truthfully.
"Zhao Yun" Before Gongsun Zan could speak, a general sitting opposite him stood up in surprise.
Seeing this, Gongsun Zan also looked over in confusion.
He didn't know Zhao Yun, but after seeing the reaction of his subordinates, he understood that there really was such a person among his troops, so he looked at him with questioning eyes.
That general.
"My lord, Zhao Yun is one of the young generals of Baima Yi.
His martial arts is average, but his marksmanship is indeed a bit outstanding.
I will ask him to come and pay homage right now," the general said quickly.
However, Zhao Yun, who has now joined Baima Yicong, performed as the general said, indeed unremarkable, otherwise he would not be just a young general.
Liu Qi didn't show anything on his face.
It was as if he just wanted to find someone with outstanding marksmanship to teach him marksmanship.
Everyone also waited silently.
After a while, I saw the general walking in with a handsome young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a broad face and a heavy face.
"My subordinate Zhao Yun, I have met all of you sirs."
That young man is none other than Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.
When Gongsun Zan saw that it was a young man, he no longer hesitated in his heart.
He had previously thought that there was someone in his army that Liu Qi had taken a liking to, but now it seemed that it was nothing more than that.
Glancing at the calm Liu Qi, he started to care about it in his mind.
Although Liu Qi didn't have any outstanding performance now, he was still the eldest son of Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to exchange the existence of a young man and a young general for Liu Qi's goodwill.
After Gongsun Zan made his decision, he smiled and said: "Zhao Yun, from now on you will follow nephew Liu Qixian and teach nephew Liu Qixian how to shoot."
After saying that, he pointed to Liu Qi with his hand.
Hearing this, Zhao Yun frowned and said, "I understand."
He didn't know that Gongsun Zan had sold him.
Although he sold him for the price of a luminous pearl, he only treated him as an item, instead of letting him teach him and then return to the army.
"Then thank General Gongsun Zan."
Liu Qi did not look at Zhao Yun, but stood up and thanked Gongsun Zan.
Now he is also suppressing the joy in his heart, without any expression, afraid of revealing something and making Gongsun Zan regret it.
However, if he gets what he wants, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, and it is easy to make mistakes after a long time.
Liu Qi continued: "In this case, I will not stay long and disturb General Gongsun's discussion, so I will take my leave first."
After saying that, he took Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, who didn't know much about it, and left Gongsun Zan's camp
