Originally, Fang Fan had no...ahem...nothing wrong with Sun Shangxiang, but after discovering Sun Ce's threatening eyes, Fang Fan became rebellious and looked at Sun Shangxiang in front of Sun Ce.
Even in front of Sun Ce, he looked at Sun Shangxiang who was looking over. Sun Ce was so angry with the teasing that he opened his eyes wider than a cow's eyes and glared at Fang Fan angrily.
Fang Fan looked directly at Sun Ce. Faced with Sun Ce's warning and domineering eyes, Fang Fan was not afraid at all, and even wanted to laugh a little.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the beautiful figure behind him, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
This may be the feeling of love at first sight...(cross out).
At this moment, Fang Fan's ears gradually became noisy. He turned around and saw that the small lords who had been blocked outside came in in groups, followed by two guards each. More than two hundred people walked up the mountain, noisily.
That's where the sound comes from.
And the moment they all stepped onto the mountain, the large group of more than 200 people dispersed and divided into small groups, each standing behind different people. Only two or three lords stood there, looking confused.
Look left, look right, where am I? Who am I? What should I do?
"If you three don't mind, you can stand with me."
At this moment, Liu Bei stood up and said with a gentle face.
Hearing this, gratitude suddenly appeared on the faces of the three of them. Without hesitation, they walked forward and stood behind Liu Bei.
At this point, all the lords who have just come up have been divided into eighteen interest groups with eighteen princes as the core.
In addition to Li Yang and others, there are seven more lords behind Fang Fan, which is quite a lot, but it is not the most.
Fang Fan noticed that the one with the largest number was Liu Bei. There were fourteen lords standing behind him, twice as many as Fang Fan, and they were very powerful.
Sun Ce was second only to him and had ten lords cooperating with him. This made Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu at the top look a little ugly, and his eyes often glanced behind Liu Bei.
But Yuan Shao was Yuan Shao after all, so he calmed down in an instant and said with a solemn face.
"Ahem, now that everyone is here, let's get straight to the point and get to the topic."
Hearing this, everyone calmed down and looked at Yuan Shao in unison. This made Yuan Shu's face flash with a trace of displeasure, but it was fleeting.
"Dong Zhuo is cruel and captures the king in order to sacrifice the alien race. This is a betrayal of the human race and he is not a son of man!
....."
Yuan Shao's speech was very plain, but not bad in appeal. He first severely criticized Dong Zhuo, belittled Dong Zhuo, pulled everyone into the same camp, and put the coalition forces above righteousness.
After the political direction was determined, he finally entered the topic.
"...Everyone here is an outstanding person, and all of them are aware of the shortcomings of the coalition forces.
While the coalition forces have a large number of people and a huge momentum, they are also prone to conflicts and waste of resources, thus wasting most of their energy on irrelevant trivial matters, which is inappropriate."
"Yes, you are right, but what can Yuan Ling do?"
Everyone nodded, and Zhu Guogui asked aloud.
When Yuan Shao heard this, he was a little uncomfortable with the name Yuan Ling. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was saying.
"The solution is very simple. The reason for this problem is that management is scattered and everyone does their own thing. There is no communication and contact, and conflicts will naturally arise.
In this regard, we only need to have more contact and joint management to minimize the impact of the disadvantages, twist all the forces into one, clenched our fists, and wield them fiercely."
"Please ask Yuan Ling to elaborate."
"Eighteen are selected as representatives to jointly form a headquarters. All coalition forces, food, intelligence, and tasks are managed and regulated by the headquarters. This is why I set up eighteen seats.
The strength of the eighteen people we are working on is among the best in the entire coalition. They can convince the public and have enough prestige to manage the coalition. On this point, no one has an opinion."
"Indeed, if that's the case, I have no objection, but I don't think the essence of the problem can be solved. At most, eighteen people will gather here to argue."
"Second, there are too many eighteen people. Once there is a dispute, it is almost impossible to unify the opinions."
"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet.
Not to mention those of you in this world, but to those of you who have descended, have you ever heard of this word?"
"Please say."
"Chairman."
"Chairman?"
"Yes, it's a new word I learned after learning about the modern corporate structure. I think this can just solve our current problems.
Since the opinions cannot be unified, then we will elect one person to be the leader, with powers and responsibilities equivalent to the chairman of the board, while the others are regarded as shareholders of the company.
The leader of the alliance is responsible for war and command, and all other princes are responsible for supervision.
Daily affairs are handled by the alliance leader, and the princes only have the right to question. If anyone has objections to major matters, they will be voted directly.
If the leader makes repeated mistakes, he can be replaced.
This not only ensures execution, facilitates management, but also ensures that the alliance leader will not be dominated by one person. What do you think?"
Fang Fan pondered for a moment, then nodded and spoke first.
"Can."
"no comment."
"You can give it a try."
Just when everyone expressed their agreement, Yuan Shu, who was sitting next to Yuan Shao, looked a little sad.
He felt as if the entire meeting was dominated by Yuan Shao alone.
Suddenly, he said with an unhappy expression.
"The method is indeed possible, but what about the choice of alliance leader? It can't be you, right?"
The question reached a point that everyone was concerned about, and everyone looked at Yuan Shao.
Hearing this somewhat harsh question, Yuan Shao smiled slightly and said calmly.
"Of course not. Since we have already agreed on the eighteen princes and eighteen representatives, they must be elected by voting. The one with more votes will be more able to convince the public and will naturally assume the position of leader."
"Okay, then I will vote for myself. In terms of status, I am the legitimate son of the Yuan family, the Fourth Generation and the Third Duke.
In terms of strength, I have over ten thousand troops and many generals, and I am the leader of the alliance, how about that."
Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Shao, with pride naturally showing on his face. Seeing this, Yuan Shao, instead of being angry, smiled more gently and spoke.
"I recommend Liu Bei, Queen Jing of Zhongshan.
Liu Ling is powerful and has the support of a large number of small and medium-sized lords, so he can take on a big position."
Hearing this, Liu Bei, who was about to recommend himself, was stunned.
What? Recommend me? Should I act according to common sense now and decline politely?
After thinking twice and organizing his words many times, Liu Bei showed an embarrassed smile.
"Thank you Yuan Ling for the recommendation. I, I think so too."
The first half of the story was completely within Yuan Shao's expectation. The more he listened, the smile on his face grew wider and wider. But when Liu Bei said the next part, the smile on Yuan Shao's face suddenly froze, revealing an expression of astonishment.
He stared at Liu Bei with everyone else.
Facing everyone's gaze, Liu Bei smiled tactfully.
When Fang Fan saw the stunned expression on Yuan Shao's face, he couldn't help but feel a bad taste in his heart, smiled slightly, and said aloud.
