Chapter 272

Su Xuan naturally felt Liu Bei's gaze, but he ignored it directly.

He didn't even need to think to know what Liu Bei was thinking at this moment.

He had always looked down on Liu Bei.

Many people in his previous life admired Liu Bei.

But Su Xuan didn't have much affection for Liu Bei.

Even, in his heart, Liu Bei was not as good as Cao Cao.

"Zhao Zilong's strength has made significant progress recently!"

Old Dian Wei looked at the battlefield outside the city and couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed!"

Huang Zhong nodded and continued: "However, Lu Bu's progress is also obvious to all!"

"For him to reach this point today without the Lord's help, his talent is indeed remarkable!"

"Unfortunately, his ambition is not here with the Lord, and he cannot keep up with our pace for the time being!"

"I only hope he can figure it out sooner and turn back sooner..."

If such a martial Dao genius is missed, it would be too much of a pity.

The Lord is planning to conquer the whole world in the future.

He needs more helpers.

Huang Zhong felt it was a pity that Lu Bu didn't join.

"This kind of thing cannot be forced!"

When Su Xuan heard this, he smiled and shook his head: "Brother Fengxian's heart is not here for now, so he cannot be persuaded!"

"Let's wait a few more years! Let him suffer some setbacks in the officialdom and let him experience being a warlord himself; he will soon get tired of it."

The main thing is, Lu Bu is simply not cut out for this!

For those with ability and capability, becoming a warlord is a kind of enjoyment.

For those without the ability or the capacity, especially someone with a simple mind like Lu Bu, being a warlord is a kind of torture.

Anyone doing what they are good at and love is definitely an enjoyment.

Conversely, doing things you are not good at, even if you liked it at first, when you hit walls everywhere and have to face reality, you will get tired of it.

"Oh?"

When Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei heard this, they were both slightly surprised. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly: "It seems he still has a chance to become our companion in the future. That's not bad."

The battle between Lu Bu and Zhao Yun lasted for several hours, until it was almost dark, and both were exhausted, so they had to withdraw.

When Zhao Yun returned to the camp, Lord Yuan Shao and the others took the initiative to greet him with smiles and praised Zhao Yun fiercely: "General Zhao Zilong is truly a divine general!"

"I didn't expect that our Jizhou could produce such a divine general. It was my ignorance before!"

Facing the praise of Lord Yuan Shao and the others, Zhao Yun just smiled modestly: "Not at all! The Alliance Leader and everyone are overpraising. Everything I have today is the credit of my Lord, Su Xuan;"

"Having this little achievement is not worth mentioning at all!"

When Lord Yuan Shao and the others heard this, their hearts sank.

"It seems that Zhao Yun is a die-hard loyalist of Su Xuan. Trying to win him over will probably be very difficult!"

Lord Yuan Shao and the others thought to themselves.

They wanted to say something to continue probing and winning him over, but at this time, Su Xuan came over with Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei, looked at Zhao Yun, and smiled: "Zhao Zilong! Well done!"

"Not at all! The Lord is overpraising! My strength is still far from enough!"

Seeing Su Xuan and the others coming, Zhao Yun quickly ran over and cupped his hands.

What is this little strength of his?

Far less than the Lord's.

Afterwards, Lord Yuan Shao was in a good mood and directly announced a celebration banquet for Zhao Yun.

Calling it a celebration banquet, in fact, he still hadn't given up and wanted to find a way to get close to and win over Zhao Yun.

Unfortunately, it had no effect in the end.

Zhao Yun was completely uninterested in these things.

During this period, Liu Bei also brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to try to get close to and win over Zhao Yun.

It also had no effect at all.

Instead, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei became familiar with Zhao Yun and were quite close and enthusiastic toward him.

In the next few days,

Because Dong Zhuo was not in a hurry, he simply let Zhao Yun and Lu Bu continue to spar.

As for Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei, after comprehensive consideration, Su Xuan still did not let them reveal their Heaven and Man realm strength.

To avoid these warlords being wary of his overly powerful strength, excluding him, and tripping him up.

Although he was not afraid, he hated trouble.

It's good as it is now.

Having a Zhao Yun come forward to make a name for himself is enough to make other warlords respect him more.

At the same time, here in Luoyang.

Li Ru took advantage of Dong Zhuo's departure to successfully incite unrest among many of the city's gentry and officials.

Then, he quickly sent troops to round them all up.

For a time, the gentry and officials in Luoyang suffered heavy losses.

Countless people were killed.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that blood flowed like a river.

This made the remaining gentry and officials in the city tremble with fear, and they all withdrew their thoughts and began to cooperate in a low-key manner.

Under such circumstances, Li Ru began the grand plan of moving the capital.

The first to be moved were the gentry, officials, and the Son of Heaven in the city, followed by the commoners and wealthy households.

For those who cooperated, naturally, it was good for everyone.

For those who did not cooperate, the Xiliang Army would teach them a lesson in a tough way.

In addition to moving the commoners and property, Li Ru naturally did not forget to complete Dong Zhuo's order, sending people to loot the imperial tombs and the tombs of the officials in Mangshan, Luoyang.

For a time, countless tombs were destroyed, and the Xiliang Army dug out a large amount of wealth from them.

At the same time, naturally, a large number of ancient books also appeared.
