Chapter 247

"Always sparring with old Old Dian, both sides are too familiar with each other's moves and habits, so there isn't much room for improvement!"

"And there aren't many surprises!"

"I think Lu Bu should be able to give us a bigger surprise!"

Huang Zhong said with a smile.

"I think so too!"

Old Dian Wei nodded.

As for sparring with Su Xuan?

It would happen occasionally, but they would be brutally abused every time. In the last two years, they actually hadn't been very willing.

It was mainly because their Lord's growth speed was too fast.

Early the next morning, Su Xuan, Huang Zhong, Old Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun led a total of 13, 00 cavalry and 4, 00 heavy infantry from the Mysterious Turtle Battalion and set off from Xinye, spending one day to arrive at Yexian.

They successfully rendezvoused with Lord Yuan Shu, who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Hahaha! Brother Gonglu, long time no see, I've missed you!"

Seeing Lord Yuan Shu come out to greet them, Su Xuan dismounted from afar, spread his arms with a smile, hugged Lord Yuan Shu, and patted his shoulder in greeting.

Lord Yuan Shu felt his shoulder being patted and his eye corner twitched slightly. He retreated half a step without a trace, avoided Su Xuan's hand, and squeezed out a smile: "Yes! I've missed you too!"

Only, the tone and expression of this statement seemed forced no matter how you looked at it.

"There aren't many days left until the final period of the lords' alliance. If you have no objections, Brother Su Boyuan, let's rest a little and set off!"

"Lest people gossip;"

"Also, by going early, I can communicate and build feelings with some old friends, so I can be more confident in taking that alliance leader position."

Saying this, Lord Yuan Shu paused and looked at Su Xuan with burning eyes: "Brother Su Boyuan should still remember that you promised me that you would support and recommend me as the alliance leader in this alliance, right? I think with your reputation, you shouldn't go back on your word, right?"

"Haha! Naturally!"

Su Xuan laughed loudly: "I, Su Xuan, always keep my word. Since I promised you, I will naturally do what I said!"

"I am not interested in the alliance leader position myself;"

"After all, this matter is too troublesome and requires balancing and contacting all the lords;"

"I don't know most of the lords, so I won't make a fool of myself!"

"However, I can only represent myself in supporting you, Brother Gonglu, and cast a vote for you!"

"Whether you can actually take this alliance leader position depends on yourself!"

"As for the rest, I am powerless to help!"

Lord Yuan Shu nodded with a smile: "That's natural! Having your word is enough, Brother Su Boyuan! You are indeed very reputable!"

"Hehe!"

Su Xuan smiled faintly and his eyes rolled slightly: "Furthermore, I think the biggest obstacle and competitor for you to become the alliance leader this time should be Brother Benchu!"

"So, you had better prepare early and be mentally prepared."

Hearing Su Xuan mention Lord Yuan Shao, Lord Yuan Shu's face turned black.

"Hmph!"

He snorted coldly and said through gritted teeth: "This Lord Yuan Benchu wants to compete with me for everything!"

"The inheritance of the Lord Yuan family is one, talent is one, and even the alliance leader position is one!"

"He doesn't even put me in his eyes;"

"He is just a son of a concubine, where does he get the guts? It's simply inexplicable!"

In short, don't mention Lord Yuan Shao in front of him; Lord Yuan Shu couldn't control his temper whenever he was mentioned.

He wished he could tear Lord Yuan Shao apart.

"Hehe! I hope so!"

Su Xuan just smiled faintly.

He felt disdain for Lord Yuan Shu's ability and reputation in his heart.

You also know that you are the legitimate son and Lord Yuan Shao is the son of a concubine?

Even with such a big advantage, you can be suppressed by Lord Yuan Shao so severely, and even the inheritance and family supporters are being snatched away. Are you a loser?

Yet Lord Yuan Shu had no intuition about this, always feeling that he was the best.

Otherwise, why would he declare himself emperor in the future and create the Zhong Dynasty?

Doesn't "Zhong" mean the second?

It shows his ambition and arrogance.

Afterward, Su Xuan rested in Yexian, had a meal, and then set off with Lord Yuan Shu, Sun Sun Jian, and the others, leading the army.

It took three days to finally arrive at the alliance location, Suanzao.

"Haha! Brother Su Boyuan, Brother Gonglu, you are finally here! Please!! Please!!"

From afar, Su Xuan saw Cao Cao standing at the gate of the official army camp to greet them. His enthusiasm made Su Xuan feel a bit embarrassed.

When Su Xuan got closer, Lord Yuan Shao, who was beside Cao Cao, also smiled and cupped his fists at Su Xuan: "Su Boyuan! Long time no see, how have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time, you finally arrived! Please come in! Please come in!"

Lord Yuan Shao naturally saw Lord Yuan Shu too.

But he chose to ignore Lord Yuan Shu directly.

It just so happened that Lord Yuan Shu didn't want to pay attention to him either, so he simply ignored him and led his troops into the camp.

At the same time, several other lords whom Su Xuan didn't know were greeting Lord Yuan Shu.

"Haha!"

Su Xuan dismounted, cupped his fists in return: "Brother Benchu! Brother Mengde! Su Xuan pays respects! Long time no see, your style is even better than in the past!"

"How is the situation with the alliance here in Suanzao?"

"How many lords have come? And who are they?"

Su Xuan asked while walking into the camp under the greeting of Lord Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Cao Cao replied immediately: "Including you and Brother Gonglu, thirteen towns have come;"

"There should be a few more towns of lords coming! Altogether, about eighteen or nineteen towns of lords!"

"By the way, how many troops did you bring, Su Boyuan?"

"I just took a rough look, good guy, they are all iron cavalry! You are really rich and imposing!"

"Where did you get so many warhorses?"

From Cao Cao's perspective, those warhorses were all top-quality warhorses!

It made Cao Cao very jealous.

Lord Yuan Shao on the side also listened carefully.

Not only was Cao Cao curious, but he was also equally curious and envious.

Although he was rich and imposing, it was impossible to get so many top-quality warhorses at once.

This required a large amount of time to accumulate and purchase.

Su Xuan smiled faintly: "They were all purchased from Bingzhou over the past few years!"

"It cost me a huge price, filling in basically all the money I've earned over the years!"

"It's made me short of Zou Qian Liang now!"

"In fact, I only brought one month's grain and fodder for this alliance;"

Saying this, Su Xuan looked at Lord Yuan Shao and asked: "I heard that you promised, Brother Benchu, that for any lord willing to come to the alliance, you are willing to provide grain and fodder. Is this true?"

Lord Yuan Shao: "......"

Damn! Are you lying to ghosts, Su Su Boyuan?

You have no money?

If you had no money, how could you buy so many warhorses and afford to raise so many warhorses?

If you had no money, why is your entire army in fine iron armor? Fine iron weapons?

He had never seen such a thick-skinned and shameless person.

If you want to freeload, just say so! What kind of lousy excuse is this?

Not thoughtful at all.

Of course, he complained in his heart, but Lord Yuan Shao still smiled and replied on the surface: "Haha! That is indeed the case!"

"Since you've said so, Su Boyuan, don't worry, I'll cover the grain and fodder supply for your troops!"

"Will you not go back on your word?"

Su Xuan asked immediately.
