8 Chapter 8: You Can Also Mix In Like This

"General Gongsun is pretty good to Liu Bei." Chen Xi smiled and said, "It seems that General Gongsun wants Liu Bei to show your face to the righteous men from all walks of life. To know that 300 cavalry, with 2,000 soldiers can be counted as a small force."

"Alas, I am ashamed!" Liu Bei said with a sigh. Gongsun Zan treated him so well that he didn't know what to do.

"It's okay to repay the older brother in the future, when you are richer." Chen Xi smiled and said. He thought about how Gongsun Zan help Xuzhou later in the future. Although he wasn't optimistic about Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan did directly give Liu Bei 2,000 soldiers in the friendship of being classmates. And, Zhao Yun was also sent to help him in the future. It was impossible for Gongsun Zan to not know about Zhao Yun and Liu Bei meeting one another, but he still did not care. It was more than enough to show that for Gongsun Zan it was absolutely nothing for the friends he recognized.

"If there is such a day, I will not forget to repay back." Liu Bei look solemnly at Chen Xi and said. Chen Xi was unresponsive until he finally understood that Liu Bei's words were actually not just for Gongsun Zan.

"Hahaha, you will be rich soon." Chen Xi said a bit unnaturally. He also wanted to see Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, and could not reply so eagerly.

Seeing Chen Xi turn around unnaturally, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But then recovered, as the person was still with him, there was a chance that Chen Xi would join him sooner or later.

The next day, the alliance officially began. As a small force, Liu Bei was eligible to appear in the alliance venue behind Gongsun Zan, and naturally Chen Xi took the opportunity to get in.

Let's talk about the name of the eighteen warlords.

First is Yuan Shu, commander of Nanyang.

Second is Han Fu, governor of Jizhou.

Third is Kong Zhou, inspector of Yuzhou.

Fourth is Liu Dai, inspector of Yanzhou.

Fifth is Wang Kuang, grand administrator of Hanoi county.

Sixth is Zhang Miao, grand administrator of Chen Liu.

Seventh is Qiao Mao, grand administrator of Yuan Wei.

Eighth is Yuan Yi, grand aministrator of Shanyang.

Ninth is Bao Xin, chancellor of Jibei.

Tenth is Kong Rong, chancellor of Beihai.

Eleventh is Zhang Chao, grand administrator of Guangling.

Twelfth is Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou.

Thirteenth is Ma Teng, governor of Liangzhou.

Fourteenth is Gongsun Zan. commander of Youzhou.

Fifteenth is Zhang Yang, grand administrator of Shangdang.

Sixteenth is Sun Jian, grand administrator of Changsha.

Seventeenth is Yuan Shao, grand administrator of Bohai.

In addition, Cao Cao who gathered everyone is the eighteenth warlord.

Each prince has as much 35,000 troops and as little as 12,000. Of course, there are also groups like Cao Cao and Liu Bei with only 2,000 to 3,000 troops. But the difference between Cao Cao and them is that he is the organizer and must have a seat. As for Liu Bei, you can only look at his luck.

But fortunately, when Cao Cao and Liu Bei were chatting, Chen Xi poked out Liu Bei's identity. A Han family kin. This is very important news. The other Han family members are all in their respective territories. While they were in their nest, Liu Bei came and brought more than two thousand troops. No matter how small of a troop it was, the identity was the most important. After all, everyone could combine their troops together and let Liu Bei mix in.

Afterwards, everyone started to argue. After all, it was a snake without a head. Cao Cao took the initiative to give up the position of the leader. The two family members of the Yuan family on the other hand were not giving in to each other. Only after Cao Cao took the initiative to give the favor to Yuan Shao did the position of the leader go to Yuan Shao. After the position of the leader was decided, Yuan Shu could only supervise the grain and grass.

At this time, Liu Bei had already mixed in with the warlords before the leader position was decided. It would have been a different matter to ask for a position from the leader. At least for now, Liu Bei can find a place to sit down and mix in as a little warlord of the alliance. On the surface, there is a right for him to speak among the warlords.

Before Liu Be understood what was going on, Chen Xi pulled his sleeves and sat him down beside Tao Qian and Kong Rong. The two were also very interested in Liu Bei, a Han family kin. And the three talked to one another very easily.

As for Chen Xi, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei sitting behind Liu Bei, this time it was completely different from history. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have their own positions. After all, this is an orthodox warlord with the background of a relative of the emperor. No matter how small the relation, as long it is recognized, then in the eye of the emperor, they are all equal.

With such a layer of protection, if Hua Xiong dared to make trouble later, Guan Yu stood up and ask to kill Hua Xiong, Yuan Shu would not stand out to offend people. After all, if he hit Guan Yu's face at this time, he would offend not only Liu Bei, but everyone that is here. Even if Yuan Shu is stupid, he wouldn't do that.

"Second lord, sit here, remember that you are a general under the command of Liu Bei, not a cavalry captain." Chen Xi began to instill in Guan Yu. After all, Liu Bei's men were only the two brave generals who are supporting the facade. And now that they have been mixing in with the warlords, as long as no one speaks, no one will know. After all, Liu Bei must be known as a warlord who joined the alliance when the grain are distributed. The warlord must have the demeanor of a warlord.

"Huh?" Guan Yu surprised, touched his long beard, opened his eyes slightly, looked at Chen Xi, and asked, "Chen Xi, tell me honestly. I don't know what is going on, but why are we sitting here suddenly?"

"Because we are the army of the warlord Liu Bei. General Gongsun gave us an opportunity, and we became one of the warlords of the coalition. With the background of Liu Bei as a Han family kin, as long as we show our value, everyone will acknowledge this identity." Chen Xi said with a smile on his face, looking at Guan Yu arrogant face, and finding him actually quite talkative.

What Chen Xi didn't know is that Guan looked cold and arrogant because he is not very good at talking, coupled with the majesty of his expression, it made everyone feel that he was cold and arrogant. But if you are familiar with him and are capable, you would find that he very much likes talking.

"Is this still possible?" Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were surprised.

"Yeah, it's okay. I think it might be a little too much." Chen Xi said with a smile, but it was obvious that there was a touch of joking on his face, "It will be up to the two generals, and if you have the opportunity to show off, you must seize it. All the people present here thinks the strength of the two generals and the status of Liu Bei complement each other. And your current performance will affect the future official position of Liu Bei."

"Official position?" Guan Yu snorted.

"Well, how much of this battle you have contributed, and how much of this is exposed, will be decided by Dong Zhuo's judgment on your strength in the coalition. After Dong Zhuo's defeat, he will differentiate the warlords with the emperor in his hand. As long as Liu Bei catches the attention Dong Zhuo's eyes, he will naturally be regarded as the object of differentiation. And naturally there will be a place for an official position, which can be said to be the foundation of future development. If you don't want to fall behind for ten years and be unable to show your grand ambitions, now is the time to do your best." Chen Xi said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei very cautiously.

This is what he summed up before. It can be said that the eighteen warlords campaigned against Dong Zhuo is an opportunity for the rise of the characters in the eighteen warlords. Whether it is Cao Cao, Sun Jian, or Yuan Shao, these are the opportunities they want to get after this.

If Liu Bei could get into Dong Zhuo's eyes this time, as a chess piece to differentiate the eighteen warlord, then the gap between Liu Bei and these warlords will be reduced to nothing at all. After that, with the background of a Han family kin, who is better still needs to be talk about?
