Chapter 142
Henei Governor Wang Kuang cupped his hands.
"Gentlemen, now that most of the warlords have arrived, shouldn't we choose an alliance leader? I recommend Brother Benchu!"
Everyone was stunned; this was indeed a problem.
Yuan Shu looked at Sun Jian, signaling him to recommend himself.
Sun Jian pretended not to see; for Yuan Shu to compete for this prestige was simply asking for humiliation; he didn't even have the face to nominate him!
Cao Cao didn't want to compete either; Yuan Shao's strength was greater than his, so he would just lie low!
Han Fu, however, didn't want Yuan Shao to gain too much power.
Jizhou was populous and prosperous, with plenty of troops and grain; Yuan Shao had long had the intention of coveting Jizhou.
Yet he was a protégé of the Yuan family, and many gentry in Jizhou supported Yuan Shao.
Han Fu cupped his hands.
"Liu Xuande is a hero of the age; why don't we wait for him to come before choosing?"
Several other warlords also agreed!
Yuan Shao was unhappy in his heart. Although Liu Bei had been in the limelight recently, assassinating Dong and pacifying the Southern Xiongnu and Western Xianbei, how could he compare to himself?!
However, on the surface, he still had to put on an act.
"Brother Wenjie is right. We will wait for Brother Xuande to come before choosing an alliance leader!"
Cao Cao secretly thought,
"I'm afraid Benchu already harbors some resentment toward Liu Bei in his heart!"
At this time, a scout reported,
"Report to my lord, ten thousand cavalry are galloping from the north; it is the great army of Bingzhou Inspector Liu Bei!"
Yuan Shao laughed out loud.
"Good, gentlemen, follow me out of the camp to welcome Brother Xuande!"
The barrage in the live broadcast rooms of various countries increased a lot.
"I didn't expect that eared thief's reputation to be so high!"
"That's right, although Han Fu has the suspicion of using him, it also shows that Liu Bei's prestige is catching up to Yuan Shao's!"
"How can that eared thief compare to Yuan Shao of the four generations and three dukes!" Japanese netizens clamored!
"My Boss Cao is biding his time; he is the hidden big shot. Cao Ren, the Xia Hou brothers are all core generals, and Le Jin, Li Dian, and Cao Hong are not bad either."
"The nineteen warlords are just a pile of loose sand; watch me, Dong Zhuo, lead Lu Bu to slaughter them!" An Indian clamored!
The earth shook.
Dust was flying in front.
A cavalryman appeared on the horizon, followed by more and more cavalry.
The charge of over ten thousand cavalry still had quite an impact on the various warlords.
"Liu Bei's troops are very elite."
"I heard he snatched over a hundred thousand warhorses and over two hundred thousand women from the Xiongnu and Xianbei; his cavalry is quite good!"
Cao Cao secretly envied him in his heart.
"Two hundred thousand women! How many of them have already been married and had children! One could always pick a few very good-looking ones!"
He immediately shook his head; at this time, how could he think about these things!
In the distance, Liu Bei looked at the allied camp.
