Chapter 993

"Shao Bucai. Thanks to the trust of the public and others, he was promoted as the leader of the alliance. He must be rewarded for meritorious service and punished for crimes. However, as the saying goes, the state-owned French army has military discipline, and everyone must abide by military discipline and never violate it!"

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, everyone's expressions froze immediately, and they were a little displeased with his behavior of acting prestige as soon as he became the leader of the alliance. But if you are not happy, you are not happy, everyone still said in unison: "We will remember, we will obey!"

Zhang Miao's expression changed, and he said, "Leader, the army is stationed in wild jujube and needs a lot of food and fodder every day. There are disputes among the armies over the distribution of food and grass. I also ask the leader to appoint a food supervisor. forage."

When this question was mentioned, everyone's expressions remained the same, but their thoughts were different, among which Sun Jian was the most sensitive.

According to the history told by other people, Yuan Shao should appoint his younger brother Yuan Shu as the Governor of Food and Grass next, and then he was tricked by Yuan Shu because of the lack of food and grass.

Just when Sun Jian's face was changing, Yuan Shao continued: "Brother Meng De is the prefect of Chenliu, and is the host. Brother Meng De has arranged the army properly in the past ten days. I haven't seen any omissions. I think brother Meng De It is suitable to serve as a food supervisor, what do you think?"

Cao Cao's expression changed when he heard the words, and he secretly thought something was wrong.

This food supervisor sounds majestic, but in fact it is not a good job. Although the food provided by the princes is quite a lot, judging from the current situation, it must not be supported until the end of the discussion, which means that the food and grass are not enough!

In this case, there will inevitably be some people who cannot allocate enough food and grass, which means that no matter what they do, the food supervisor will definitely offend some princes!

In case of another defeat due to insufficient food and grass, wouldn't it be the responsibility of the food supervisor? But the food supervisor only has the right to distribute food, and has no right to collect food from the princes' territories. If he wants to ensure sufficient food supply for the army, he can only pay for his own money. Winning does not necessarily give credit, and losing must be guilty. Cao Cao naturally didn't want to take this kind of unlucky job.

"The lord of the confederation is generous, and his talents are contemptuous. He has exhausted himself physically and mentally by placing all the heroes in the wild jujube land. He is really unable to take on the important task of supervising grain. In order to discuss the important affairs of the director, the lord is asked to choose another virtuous generation."

After a pause, Cao Cao continued: "Brother Gonglu has both ability and political integrity, and he is also the brother of the leader. As the saying goes, brothers who fight tigers go into battle with father and son, the leader of the leader is the leader of the leader, and brother Gonglu is the food supervisor. The two brothers work together to kill each other. Thief Dong, it’s not a good thing to talk about!”

In fact, as early as when Yuan Shao proposed Cao Cao to be the food supervisor, Yuan Shu's face was so gloomy that he could drip ink. According to the tacit understanding between the two brothers, Yuan Shu supported Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. In return, Yuan Shao would hand over the post of food supervisor to him.

Cao Cao thought that the food supervisor was a hard job, but Yuan Shu didn't think so.

According to historical records, Yuan Shu has a "good ranger" character. What is a ranger? To put it simply, they are gangsters. What do gangsters care about most? Naturally, it's about saving face!

Although the food supervisor is actually a relatively awkward position, being in charge of the "Governor's Army Food and Grass" sounds so majestic! Yuan Shu thought that he had no hope of being the leader of the alliance, so he never forgot the food supervisor. Hearing that Yuan Shao was going to hand over the grain supervisor to Cao Cao just now, he almost turned the table on the spot, and his face turned slightly better after Cao Cao refused.

Yuan Shao hesitated after hearing Cao Cao's words.

His alliance leader sounds majestic, but in fact, he has to take into account the interests of all parties at all times, otherwise the alliance will be disbanded in an instant. Although there are many princes, not many can really fight, and Sun Jian himself is probably the only one who can fight and listen to the leader.

The rest of Shang Ji, Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and other truly powerful princes Yuan Shao can't command anyone! Sun Jian became the key figure that Yuan Shao had to win over.

In appointing Yuan Shu as the food supervisor, Yuan Shao must fully consider Sun Jian's opinion.

Yuan Shu still had some brains, so he immediately understood the problem. But after thinking about it, I was a little annoyed.

One was angry at Yuan Shao's dishonesty, and that the food supervisor procrastinated; the other was angry at Sun Jian for not trusting him.

Sun Jian and Yuan Shu have formed an alliance secretly, one south and one north jointly encroached on Liu Biao's territory, and now at this critical moment, he doubts himself because of the "monstrous words" of other people, which makes Yuan Shu feel betrayed! three k

Seeing Yuan Shu looking at him with a worried expression, Sun Jian also had a headache.

Sun Jian is capable of fighting, but he is poor, short of people, food, and soldiers. Without these three things, so what if he can fight by himself? Yuan Shu is exactly the thigh he needs to hug at this stage, and he must not offend him.

But he was also afraid that after Yuan Shu became the food supervisor, he would really use food and grass to entrap him because of what other people said. At this time, Sun Jian was in a dilemma.

Yuan Shu raised his hands a little angrily and said, "I, Yuan Shu, swear that if there is any injustice after serving as the food supervisor, I will cough up blood and die!"

Seeing that Yuan Shu had spoken to such an extent, if he didn't make a statement, it would be tantamount to tearing his face apart. Sun Jian quickly said: "General Gonglu is fair, forthright and generous. He is the most suitable grain supervisor!"

Seeing Sun Jian's statement, Yuan Shao quickly made a decision and said, "Okay, if this is the case, then Gong Gong will be the food supervisor."

"In addition to the food supervisor, the coalition army needs a vanguard to open up mountains and waters for the army. Who is willing to take on this important task?"

Yuan Shao smiled, looked around at the crowd and asked.

Just as Lu Bu was about to get up, Chen Gong next to him stopped him with his eyes. Lu Bu shook his head depressedly, and sat there obediently.

"Zan (Jian) ​​is willing to be a pioneer!"

Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian stood up almost at the same time and said.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, stroked his palms and said, "I have heard about the bravery of the two generals. With the help of the two, how difficult is it to break the bandits? However, one vanguard is enough. Wouldn't it increase the prestige of the bandits if the two generals went together? How about using Wentai as the vanguard first, and Bogui as the concurrent post when Wentai is tired from fighting? What do you two think?"

Gongsun Zan nodded reluctantly, reluctantly agreeing to Yuan Shao's arrangement.

Seeing that everything was well arranged, Yuan Shao also heaved a sigh of relief, and said loudly: "Come on, immediately build a three-story high platform, spread flags from five directions, make military talismans and general seals, and prepare to burn incense to worship the heaven and the earth!"

After Yuan Shao gave an order, the troops moved quickly, and within a short while the altar, flags, tokens, etc. were all ready. Judging by the efficiency, it was obvious that Yuan Shao had already prepared.

Yuan Shao dressed up and wore a sword. Surrounded by everyone, he climbed onto the altar, burned incense and worshiped, and recited the covenant: "The Han Dynasty is unfortunate, the emperor's order is lost, and the traitor Dong Zhuo took advantage of the quarrel. Waiting for the fear of the loss of the country, unite the righteous soldiers, and go to the country's calamity, and all our alliances, work together..."

After listening to Shang Ji, the oath of the covenant was exactly the same as in the Romance, I don't know if it was a coincidence or Yuan Shao did it on purpose.

After reading the oath, Yuan Shao led the chariot and cavalry general himself, worshiped Yuan Shu as the rear general, and Sun Jian as the general who broke the captives, and formally handed over the seals of the food supervisor and vanguard officer to them.

After Sun Jian received the seal, he bid farewell to everyone, and then led 500,000 troops on the road in high spirits!

Looking at Sun Jian's back, Shang Ji secretly said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, arrange for manpower to collect military rations as much as possible. At least three months' worth of military rations must be prepared for our army. If you can't buy them, arrange for Yangyi to transfer them. This depends on the coalition forces. Military rations, I always feel unreliable!"

Guo Jia smiled when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "Even if the lord doesn't say anything, the subordinates are about to speak out. The intrigue between the coalition forces is unlikely to make a big deal, and the lord needs to think about it early."
