Liu He looked at him with a look of course: "What do you mean? Do you still need to ask? Of course, General Yuan is asking him to fulfill his promise."

"Puff..." Ding Yuan, who was beside him, almost burst into laughter.

Yuan Shu said with a dark face and gritted his teeth, "It's just an ordinary joke, why take it seriously?"

"That's not what you said. You and I said solemnly just now. How could you be joking? Is the road going to break your word and fatten you?"

Ding Yuan asked in a sarcastic tone.

Yuan Shu was so angry that his flesh on his face shook: "Hmph, I think you, Liu He, have arrived a long time ago, just deliberately wanted to wait for me to make a fool of himself. This bet doesn't count!"

Ma Teng sneered: "This is biased. Before this, General Liu met you? How could he predict that you would make this bet? It was obvious that you were willing to bet but not admit defeat, but you were looking for excuses here, and you were not afraid of damaging Yuan's face."

"Xiliang Wufu, this is my Yuan family's business, you don't need to talk too much!"

Ma Teng looked at the angry Yuan Shu, looked disdainful and turned his head away too lazy to pay attention.

"Liu He, I deliberately embarrassed me. No matter what, Yuan will never admit this bet. If you want Yuan to kneel down and kowtow, hum, that's not to imagine!"

Liu He shrugged, looking indifferent.

"So, General Yuan would rather die than kneel down?"

Yuan Shu simply turned his head aside: "No, I would rather die than die!"

At this time, Cao Cao finally spoke: "Okay, General Liu has no grievances with the Highway, and has never met, how could he deliberately harm him? However, what the Highway and Jianyang Gong said just now is indeed a joke. You don't have to take it seriously. Now that the enemy is in front of us, we should unite and fight the enemy together. Come on, General Liu invites you to sit down!"

"General Cao is not in a hurry. Liu has another important thing, and he must do it now."

When everyone heard Liu He say this, they thought he insisted on letting Yuan Shu kneel down and kowtow. This time, even Yuan Shao had to come forward. He walked down from his seat and bowed to Liu He.

"General Liu is a lot of people, and my son is ignorant. Please don't have the same knowledge as him."

Liu He returned the favor to Yuan Shao and said, "I misunderstood first. How could I be such a commoner? What I said below is indeed an important matter."

Yuan Shu's face turned darker when he heard this. Didn't Liu He clearly say that he was a vulgar? But he really couldn't refute it, and he felt so angry.

Just as everyone was curious, Liu He reached out to his arms and took out something.

Everyone's face changed when they saw this thing.

"The last emperor's will, all the ministers will kneel down and listen!"

Liu He launched the will. How dare Yuan Shao and others be negligent? He immediately knelt down, only Yuan Shu was confused.

I just said that I would rather die than kneel down. Should I slap myself in the mouth so soon? At this moment, he was stunned on the spot.

Liu He glanced at him, sneered a few times, and ignored him.

However, Yuan Shao looked so angry that he shouted: "This is the will of the late emperor. If you see the late emperor, you will not kneel down on the road!"

Only then did Yuan Shu realize that although he was still a little reluctant, he finally knelt down.

Only then did Liu He start to recite the will.

"Since I inherited the throne, I have no achievements, and the destiny of heaven is about to end. Now the prince is young, and the lord is weak and the ministers are strong, and he will suffer in the future. Although the emperor's brother Liu He has been growing up among the people since he was young, his loyalty and righteousness remain unchanged, and his civil and military principles are prosperous. I leave this edict. If there is any disaster in the future, the lord can be punished by the edict. All the loyal ministers and righteous men in the world will be ordered by the edict, and I will respect this edict!"

"Long live the Five Emperors!"

After everyone kowtowed, they stood up one after another, but at this time, Yuan Shu's face was so dark that it could squeeze out water.

"Damn Liu He, a rural villager, dares to tease me like this. I will definitely look for you in the future!"

He cursed Liu He viciously in his heart, but Liu He no longer took him seriously.

"Since all the twenty princes have arrived, then we will recommend a leader of the alliance to lead the heroes and attack the treacherous and slanderous people. What do you think?"

A slightly old voice sounded, but it was Tao Qian and Tao Gongzu, the governor of Xuzhou who had just taken office.

Everyone agreed.

"The so-called snake without a head cannot do it. Our princes naturally need a person with a high reputation to succeed. I think that the Yuan family has four generations and three dukes, and is prominent in the country. General Yuan Benchu ​​is the person with the largest number of troops and the strongest strength in this alliance. It is really the most suitable for him to be the leader of the alliance."

Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, was the first to stand up and elect Yuan Shao.

Many princes agreed with his words.

Ding Yuan was not happy: "I thought it was not the case. In terms of origin, Liu He, the prefect of Shuofang, was the orthodox royal family. In terms of achievements, he killed Zhang Jiao, retreated to Heishan, guarded Yanmen, captured Kuitou, and fought in Shuofang to destroy nearly 200,000 Xianbei and Xiongnu troops. His military achievements were outstanding and unmatched in the world. What's more, this alliance was called by him with the will of the late emperor, and the leader Liu was appointed as the prefect."

"I, Ma Teng, also agrees with Prefect Liu as the leader of the alliance!"

"I am Kong Rong also elected Liu Taishou."

"Hmph, so is my Gongsun Zan."

Yuan Shao was originally recommended by everyone, but his face was very proud. When he saw someone objecting, his face suddenly turned dark.

Liu He smiled gently and humblely, bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness to Governor Ding, General Ma, Prefect Kong, and General Gongsun. However, I am young and knowledgeable, lack of qualifications, and some military achievements are not worth mentioning. I also think that General Yuan Benchu ​​is the best choice for this position as the leader of the alliance."

Yuan Shu, who was standing beside him, looked at Yuan Shao with some jealousy, but then he looked at Liu He with a very resentful look. His eyes turned, and then he suddenly had an idea.

"Hmph, you know yourself. Although my brother is not the legitimate son of the Yuan family, he is naturally much higher than you in terms of reputation and qualifications. I think you must have felt ashamed of yourself after seeing the heroic soldiers of the Central Plains this time, and you are embarrassed to be the leader of this alliance, right? After all, if the leader's troops are still at the end of the crowd, wouldn't it help Dong Zhei's arrogance?"

His words raised his "legitimate son" and at the same time belittled Yuan Shao, the concubine, and Liu He, the "ignorant village man in the countryside". After saying this, he raised his proud head high.

Liu He didn't look at him, but just smiled.

"With his meager strength, how can you dare to compare with all the heroes? General Yuan Benchu ​​doesn't have to refuse. The position of leader of the alliance is yours! He is willing to follow your leader. This is not about the face of Yuan's family. It really depends on your personal courage to denounce Dong Zhuo in the court and the strength of the 50,000 army."

Although he did not mention Yuan Shu, he secretly belittled Yuan Shu one level. What is the legitimate son of Yuan's family who is not a legitimate son is worthless in his eyes, and what others value is strength.

However, Liu He's words made Yuan Shao feel very happy.

"Haha, Liu Taishou and all the heroes are too good! Well, since everyone is full of loyalty, Yuan will not refuse. He will definitely be the leader of the alliance and expel Dong from Luoyang!"

Yuan Shao glanced at everyone, then sat on the first seat with great enthusiasm, and Liu He was not polite, and sat in the first seat below him at Yuan Shao's personal invitation.

The following arrangement was not beyond Liu He's expectations at all.

Han Fu was responsible for mobilizing food and grass in the rear, Yuan Shu was responsible for supplying food and grass in the front, and Sun Jian was the pioneer. Ding originally wanted to compete for a vanguard, but was stopped by Liu He.
