Chapter 364

"I believe he should also need more military supplies now;"

"After all, he wants to occupy Jizhou, become the number one warlord in the world, and become the leader of the upcoming warlord alliance!"

If you ask what is the strongest weapon against Yuan Shu?

Of course, it is Yuan Shao!

Sure enough, hearing Su Xuan mention Yuan Shao and the position of alliance leader, Yuan Shu's expression immediately changed: "I want it! I want it all!"

"Not only these that you confiscated, but also purchase another 800,000 shi of grain and 500,000 gold worth of military supplies;"

"Armor, elite weapons, bows, crossbows, arrows, and even warhorses, I want them all!"

"You absolutely cannot sell them to Yuan Benchu!"

"You don't know, this dog thing is insidious; he often spoke ill of you in front of my uncle in the past, saying you were a great threat, and so on;"

"The reason you didn't get a chance for promotion in the past few years, Yuan Benchu contributed a lot!"

"Brother Boyuan! Only you and I are true friends. You must be careful, careful, and more careful of people like Yuan Benchu who act one way on the surface and another behind your back."

In short, don't sell to Yuan Shao, sell it all to me.

I have money.

Yuan Shu was almost writing the words "big sucker" on his face. Su Xuan naturally wouldn't refuse, and immediately nodded: "Brother Gonglu, you don't have to say it, I actually vaguely felt that Yuan Shao was not simple!"

"But I didn't expect him to treat me like this!"

"Then fine! I'll sell everything to you, Brother Gonglu!"

"Don't worry, they are all top-quality military supplies, the quality is much stronger than those confiscated from you!"

"Among them, there are at least 1,000 sets of iron armor, and even more weapons and bows and arrows;"

"However, there are really no warhorses!"

"You also know that the south lacks horses. As for warhorses, I don't even have enough for myself!"

"I still have to find ways to buy them from the north at high prices;"

"So, Brother Gonglu, you understand how much sincerity I have in being willing to sell back the few thousand warhorses confiscated from you, right?"

"I absolutely didn't cheat you!"

1,000 sets of iron armor is already the limit of what Su Xuan can sell to Yuan Shu for now.

Moreover, these iron armors are still the first version of iron armor, with less than 30% of the defense of the active-duty iron armor of Su Xuan's army.

But they are still 10% to 20% stronger than those iron armors produced in the Great Han.

For other warlords, they are already top-tier good things.

But here at Su Xuan's, they are phased-out products.

Even if they are phased-out products, Su Xuan doesn't plan to sell more to Yuan Shu for the time being.

Armor is ultimately different from weapons.

Hmm! The refined steel weapons currently in service in his army are naturally not in the ranks of those for sale.

Also only selling the first version of refined iron weapons.

As for why he didn't want the few thousand confiscated warhorses?

For one, most of these warhorses are not top-tier warhorses; most are just low-tier and mid-tier warhorses, which cannot compare to the top-tier warhorses Su Xuan just bought.

Let alone those top-tier warhorses and even exotic beast warhorses tamed through exotic beast methods, spiritual energy, and secret medicines.

In the end, the foundation of most of these warhorses is too poor.

Even if they were taken for taming, Su Xuan felt the cost-effectiveness was too low.

It's better to sell them back to Yuan Shu.

Anyway, for now, the number of excellent warhorses he has is enough.

Combined with the warhorses in the army, he has a total of about 60,000+ warhorses that are at least top-tier.

Among them, the vast majority are still top-tier warhorses.

Combined with the more than ten large exotic beast horse farms he set up in Nanjun.

He has basically been able to achieve self-sufficiency in warhorses!

They are already using warhorses to breed on their own.

Because of the blessing of the Star Spirit-Turning Array and the Spirit-Locking Array, the growth rate of those ordinary pasture grasses is extremely fast, so there is no need to worry about them not growing.

Even these ordinary pasture grasses nurtured by spiritual energy are far more nutritious than the pasture grasses outside, and are gradually transforming.

In the future, it is not impossible for them to become spiritual pasture grasses.

Yuan Shu heard this and nodded: "You are still the honest one, Boyuan!"

"Warhorses are indeed hard to come by! You being able to sell back those confiscated warhorses to me really shows great sincerity!"

"Then fine! The matter of arms trading is settled. As for the specific price, quantity, and type, let the subordinates discuss it! Let's continue to drink! Drink!"

"Haha! Good! Drink! Come! Cheers!"

Su Xuan also smiled and raised his cup to invite.

In his heart, he was blooming with joy: "I didn't expect that not only did I dig out Yuan Shu's remaining 1 million shi of grain and 300,000 gold!"

"I even dug out another 400,000 gold;"

"Sure enough, Yuan Shu is a rich man!"

No wonder people drink honey water when they drink water; this is a proper big local tycoon.

If I didn't ruthlessly fleece him a few times to enrich my treasury, I would be sorry for myself.

Afterward, Su Xuan chatted and drank with Yuan Shu, feeling very comfortable.

There was no longer the tense atmosphere from before.

More than an hour later, Yuan Shu felt his stomach was a bit full and his urge to urinate was a bit strong, so he got up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Yuan Shu remembered something and couldn't help but ask Su Xuan: "By the way! Brother Boyuan! In this warlord alliance, electing the leader, will you support me? Or are you also preparing to run for leader yourself?"

For a time, Yuan Shu's gaze toward Su Xuan became vigilant.

With Su Xuan's status today, he really has the qualifications.

Facing Yuan Shu's burning gaze, Su Xuan immediately smiled and shook his head: "Brother Gonglu, don't joke!"

"How am I qualified to run for leader?"

"Among those warlords, I don't know many, and I don't have the prestige and background of your Yuan clan. Even if I wanted to run, those people likely wouldn't support me;"

"Then what would I run for? To be lonely?"

"So, I won't make a fool of myself! I'll leave this opportunity to you, Brother Gonglu!"

"Moreover, given our friendship and the matter of this transaction, I will naturally support you!"

"You also said it! That Yuan Benchu is not a good thing. He calculated against me behind my back before, spoke ill of me, and interfered with my promotion. There is no way I would choose him."

Hmm! Anyway, it actually makes no difference who is chosen!

This campaign against Dong Zhuo itself is an anticlimactic movement.

The position of leader doesn't mean much.

However, even with his own support, Su Xuan still didn't think highly of Yuan Shu.

Compared to others, Yuan Shao is more popular.

It's just that Yuan Shu's reputation in the past was too poor.

The famous playboy of the Yuan clan isn't joking with you.

"Haha! That's true!"

Yuan Shu heard this and immediately beamed with joy: "Then many thanks for your support, Brother Boyuan!"

He almost forgot that Su Xuan really didn't have the opportunity to become the leader.

Although his power and status are high, his connections are far inferior to his Yuan clan.

In the end, the Su clan of the past was just a fallen small noble clan.

How can it compare to the Yuan clan?

Unless Su Xuan works hard for decades to develop and strengthen the Su clan, and continuously expands his connections and consolidates his power, it is only then possible to gain enough influence.

"I'm leaving! Farewell!"

Saying this, Yuan Shu mounted his horse and left directly.

"Let's go too!"

Su Xuan saw this, immediately greeted Xu Chu, and returned to his own military formation.

Returned to the city.

Afterward, he handed over the matters of ransoming people and selling military supplies to Guo Jia, the Su Clan Chamber of Commerce, and the Secret Guard to handle. ===== CHAPTER 366 =====
