Chapter 773

But relatively speaking, Yuan Shao had more supporters.

Although he had failed in competing with Dong Zhuo for Luoyang and his official position had been demoted to Bohai Governor, and in terms of origin, the status of a concubine-born son of the Yuan family was not as good as the legitimate son Yuan Shu.

But there was a reason why Yuan Shao had the most supporters now.

First, Yuan Shao had participated in the action to execute the eunuchs, which was a very positive point. Many warlords hated eunuchs, and because of this, he was famous throughout the world and won the admiration of the various warlords.

Second, Yuan Shao now had an excellent relationship with Cao Cao. The two could be said to have worn the same pair of pants in the past. It was rumored that when they were young, they had visited brothels together and slept with the same girl...

And Cao Cao still regarded Yuan Shao as an older brother and a good brother at this time.

With this layer of relationship, Cao Cao, who was originally a candidate for alliance leader, undoubtedly supported Yuan Shao as well.

Then Cao Cao's die-hard fan, Zhang Miao and others, naturally had to cast a few votes.

Not only that, Yuan Shao was also very popular and called everyone brother. Even Su Li, who had just received benefits from Yuan Shao—thirty beautiful dancers—stood out to support him.

Thus, the alliance leader vote directly KO'd the Yuan family's legitimate son, Yuan Shu!

Finally, Yuan Shao was crowned.

With this result, almost all the warlords had nothing to say, except for Yuan Shu, who was very unhappy in his heart and probably even had the thought of cursing Yuan Shao's ancestors for eighteen generations.

It was a pity...

Cursing was useless; after all, although the two were legitimate and illegitimate, they were ultimately born of the same father...

But this also caused a greater rift between the two brothers who originally belonged to the same clan.

At this time.

Yuan Shao, having obtained the position of alliance leader, was happy to the extreme. He immediately stood up, looked at everyone, first cupped his hands, and then smiled: "Everyone! Thank you for your high regard! By pushing me, Yuan, as alliance leader, I swear today that I will definitely do my best to work with you all to eliminate the Dong villain together!"

Then, after finishing, Yuan Shao began to pass the buck: "I wonder if you gentlemen have any ideas!"

Well, after the alliance leader was elected, it was naturally time to start formulating the strategy to conquer Dong.

Cao Cao, as a good friend who grew up wearing the same pants as Yuan Shao, was the first to stand up and express his stance: "Alliance Leader Yuan is wise and martial. We should naturally follow the lead of the alliance leader and strictly obey the alliance leader's orders in everything."

Alright!

Upon hearing this, Su Li's gaze was somewhat surprised.

Was this future Emperor Wu of Wei just a sycophant now?

Someone who didn't know would think Cao was Yuan Shao's lackey.

Hearing Cao Cao say this, Yuan Shao was also very happy. Although he was born into the Yuan family of four generations of three excellencies, his status as a concubine-born son meant he hadn't received much good treatment in the past.

This made him feel very suppressed in his heart.

And over these suppressed years, Cao Cao was the only one who understood him.

And during many times of frustration, it was Cao Cao who had always accompanied him, accompanied him in seeking pleasure, and accompanied him in peeking at widows!

Even the two of them together...

Especially this time, even though it was Cao Cao who called for the warlords to gather for the alliance, he had pushed him to be the alliance leader. This friendship could be said to be worthy of a close friend.

However, Yuan Shao did not know that this so-called close friend of his would personally sever half of his territory!
