Chapter 384

"If I keep sparring with Old Old Dian, both sides are too familiar with each other's moves and habits, and there's not much room for improvement!"

"And there are no 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?

They would do it occasionally, but every time they were bloodily abused. In the last two years, they were actually not very willing.

It was mainly because the 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 13,000 cavalry and 4,000 heavy infantry from the Black Tortoise Battalion and set off from Xinye, arriving at Ye County in one day.

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

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

Seeing Yuan Shu come out to greet them, Su Xuan dismounted from afar, smiled, opened his arms, hugged Yuan Shu, and patted his shoulder in greeting.

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

It was just that the tone and expression of this sentence looked forced no matter how you looked at it.

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

"Lest people gossip;"

"Also, going early will allow me to communicate with some old friends and have more confidence in taking the position of leader."

Speaking of this, Yuan Shu paused, looked at Su Xuan with burning eyes, and asked: "Brother Su Boyuan should still remember that you promised to support and recommend me as the leader this time, right? I think with your reputation, you wouldn't break your word, right?"

"Haha! Naturally!"

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

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

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

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

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

"Whether you can take this leader position in the end depends on yourself!"

"I can't help with anything else!"

Yuan Shu smiled and nodded: "That's natural! Having your word is enough, Brother Su Boyuan! You really have a good reputation!"

"Hehe!"

Su Xuan smiled slightly, his eyes turned slightly, and said: "In addition, I think the biggest obstacle and competitor for you to become the leader this time should be Brother Benchu!"

"So, you'd better prepare early and have psychological preparation."

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

"Hmph!"

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

"The inheritance of the Yuan clan is one, talents are one, and even the position of leader is one!"

"The generals didn't put me in their eyes;"

"He is just a son of a concubine; where does he get the courage? Simply ignorant!"

In short, don't mention Yuan Shao in front of him; Yuan Shu couldn't control his temper when he heard it.

He wished he could tear Yuan Shao apart.

"Hehe! I hope so!"

Su Xuan smiled slightly.

He felt disdain for Yuan Shu's ability and reputation.

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

With such a big advantage, you were suppressed by Yuan Shao so severely, and even the inheritance and family support were snatched away by Yuan Shao. Can you say you are not a loser?

Yet Yuan Shu had no self-awareness about this, always feeling that he was the best.

Otherwise, why would he declare himself emperor in the future and create the Zhongshi Emperor?

Isn't Zhongshi just the second?

It shows his ambition and arrogance.

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

It took three days to finally arrive at the coalition 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 government army camp to greet them. That enthusiasm made Su Xuan feel a bit embarrassed.

After Su Xuan got closer, Yuan Shao, who was beside Cao Cao, also smiled and bowed to Su Xuan: "Su Boyuan! Long time no see, how have you been? My brother has been waiting for you for a long time! You are finally here! Please enter! Please enter!"

Yuan Shao naturally saw Yuan Shu.

But he chose to ignore Yuan Shu directly.

Coincidentally, Yuan Shu didn't want to pay attention to him either, so he ignored him directly and led the troops into the camp.

At the same time, there were several other warlords Su Xuan didn't know greeting Yuan Shu.

"Haha!"

Su Xuan dismounted, bowed in return: "Brother Benchu! Brother Mengde! Su Xuan pays respects! Long time no see, your demeanor is even better than before!"

"How is the situation of the coalition here in Suanzao?"

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

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

Cao Cao replied immediately: "Including you and Brother Gonglu, there are already thirteen towns;"

"There should be a few more warlords coming! Adding them together, there are about eighteen or nineteen towns!"

"Right! 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!"

"Where did you get so many warhorses?"

Even from Cao Cao's perspective, those warhorses were all top-notch!

Cao Cao was very jealous.

Yuan Shao, who was on the side, also listened.

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

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

This requires a lot of time to accumulate and purchase.

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

"It cost me a huge price, and I filled in almost all the money I earned over these years!"

"It made me short of money and grain now!"

"Even for this coalition, I only brought one month's worth of grain and grass;"

Speaking of this, Su Xuan looked at Yuan Shao and asked: "I heard that you promised, Brother Benchu, that for any warlord willing to come to the coalition, you are willing to provide grain and grass. Is this true?"

Yuan Shao: "..."

Damn! Are you, Su Su Boyuan, fooling ghosts?

You have no money?

If you have no money, why did you buy so many warhorses, and how can you afford to raise so many warhorses?

If you have no money, why is your entire army wearing refined iron armor? Refined iron weapons?

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

If you want to freeload off me, just say so! What kind of pathetic excuse is this you've come up with?

Not careful at all.

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

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

"Will you not break your word?"

Su Xuan asked immediately.
