Chapter 422

After they learn and adapt, they will graduate and return to Lu Bu’s command.

"Huh? I also have to stay in the new recruit camp for a few months?"

Lu Bu was stunned when he heard Su Xuan’s arrangement for him.

Did he make a mistake?

"Correct!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively and explained: "The military discipline, rules, and orders of my army are very different from the existing systems and regulations in the world. If you don't master and adapt to these first, you won't be able to integrate into my army later!"

"Consequently, you will also be unable to command any troops under my command;"

"You don't want to be able to lead only your 2,000 personal guards to fight the enemy, but be unable to lead the army in battle, right?"

"Uh..."

Lu Bu was speechless and said helplessly: "It seems I cannot refuse! Hey! I didn't expect that I would have a day to enter the new recruit camp for further studies. You fellow really gave me a difficult problem."

"In this way, wouldn't I waste a few more months? How can I catch up with Huang Hansheng and the others?"

Facing Lu Bu’s resentful eyes, Su Xuan waved his hands repeatedly: "That won't happen! There is no rule that you can't go to the Merit Pavilion to exchange for divine arts, secret techniques, and resources to cultivate after going to the new recruit camp, right?"

"In fact, you have more time and energy to focus on cultivation there!"

"As for the new recruit training, with your strength, you will definitely master it very quickly!"

"If it weren't for letting you adapt to my army’s system as soon as possible, I wouldn't have let you go!"

This is also for Lu Bu’s own good.

Being out of place is not a good thing.

"That’s more like it!"

Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction: "Then I accept this training! Isn't it just military rules and orders? I am good at it, and I will master it quickly!"

"Hehe!"

Su Xuan smiled: "As a Heaven-Human realm martial artist, everyone’s brain can be said to have undergone a second development. Memory, mental power, and comprehension have all been greatly improved. Isn't it expected that you can master it quickly?"

"Tsk! You kid..."

Lu Bu curled his lips: "Think whatever you want!"

"Speaking of which, when do you plan to truly start the war to unify the world? Dragging it on like this is not a solution, right? How long will it take for you to be ready?"

"In addition, I heard that you went to attack Taking Jiaozhou a while ago?"

"What is good about that ghost place? What is the use of taking it down?"

Lu Bu could not understand Su Xuan’s thoughts and actions at all.

Su Xuan shrugged: "Naturally, it is of great use!"

"Although Taking Jiaozhou seems desolate and remote, the climate and environment are quite good. If developed, it will be an excellent grain-producing area;"

"Moreover, it is very suitable for planting sugarcane, fruits, etc., and also suitable for planting spiritual medicines and raising exotic beasts;"

"In short, there are many benefits!"

Mountainous terrain also has the advantages of mountainous terrain!

He can completely arrange a large number of Spirit-Locking Arrays and Star Spirit-Turning Arrays in these mountains and forests to build one exotic beast breeding base and spiritual medicine planting base after another.

As there are more and more troops and martial artists under his command, and they are becoming stronger and stronger, the spiritual medicines and exotic beast meat consumed every day are constantly increasing, and the places in Jingzhou where arrays can be arranged have basically been arranged.

The acquisition of Taking Jiaozhou and Annan territory just fills the gap in this regard.

Of course, Su Xuan is too lazy to explain these things to Lu Bu and the others for the time being.

Firstly, they haven't signed any spiritual confidentiality contracts;

Secondly, Lu Bu and the others wouldn't understand even if he told them, and they would just keep asking questions endlessly.

It is better to let Lu Bu and the others check and understand for themselves in the Merit Pavilion and the Scripture Pavilion later.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Lu Bu nodded in understanding. Although he didn't quite understand, he understood the general meaning: "In short, as long as it is useful! Only you can develop the value of such territory!"

"Hehe! Perhaps!"

Su Xuan smiled slightly and continued: "As for when to unify the world? Wait another year or so!"

"At least wait until Lord Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have a decisive battle, and then I will have a decisive battle with the winner among them to settle the world in one battle!"

"In this way, many people can be saved from dying, and it can also leave me enough time to cultivate enough talent."

"Of course, I won't be doing nothing in this year or so!"

"At the very least, I will take over the Jiangdong region."

Unifying the south is very necessary.

Hmm! Temporarily excluding Yizhou.

"Oh?"

Lu Bu said excitedly: "Does that mean there will be a battle soon? When? You must let me be the vanguard general then!"

"I remember Jiangdong is currently held by Sun Ce and Liu Biao? I will definitely take these two down easily!"

"Hey hey hey!"

Before Su Xuan could speak, Zhao Yun, who was on the side, couldn't listen anymore, glared at Lu Bu and said: "Brother Brother Fengxian, you are a bit unreasonable! Do you understand the principle of first come, first served?"

"The vanguard general for Jiangdong should be me!"

Taishi Ci was also unhappy upon hearing this and said directly: "No! You are all wrong, it should be me! Zhao Zilong, you already took Jiujiang before and gained a lot of merit, so don't get involved!"

Zhao Yun frowned and said unyieldingly: "That was just a small Jiujiang! The key is that it wasn't an annihilation battle, and Sun Ce was let go, so there wasn't much merit at all, okay?"

At this time, Wen Pin smiled lightly: "No matter how you argue, anyway, taking Jiangdong will inevitably require our navy, so we will definitely be needed then!"

"Heh!"

Zhao Yun sneered: "Wen Zhongye, don't be proud either. The navy under the lord has three branches, not including the navy. It is not certain which branch will be dispatched then!"

"I think! It is highly likely to be the Jiangxia navy, after all, they are close!"

"Actually, the Jiangling navy is also good!"

Wen Pin’s face turned dark upon hearing this.

Zhao Yun was deliberately tearing down his stage! Simply unbearable.

"Correct!"

At this time, Huang Zu, who was on the side, took the lead and said happily: "Our Jiangxia navy is closest to Jiangdong. If we take Jiangdong, we are the most suitable! Don't argue with us!"

"..."

For a time, a group of people started arguing.

One by one, their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they almost started fighting directly.

Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, Su Xuan released and retracted his momentum in an instant. The generals were terrified, feeling as if they were on their backs, and stopped arguing one after another, looking at Su Xuan with shock.

Su Xuan picked up his teacup and took a sip, scanned the circle, and said: "You guys! It’s not even a shadow yet! Currently, Sun Sun Jian and Liu Biao haven't had a decisive battle yet, so we can't make a move for the time being!"

"Besides! This time taking Jiangdong, there will basically be no big battle!"

"When the time comes, there will only be three competitions. If you are interested in this, you can compete for the quota to participate."

The secret guards have eyes and ears everywhere, and Su Xuan knew Sun Ce and Zhou Yu’s plans clearly back then.

He had long understood that the Battle of Jiangdong would not happen.

"Competitions?"

Lu Bu and the others were stunned: "What competitions?"

"The matter is like this..."

Su Xuan immediately told them about Sun Ce seeing the ironclad fleet, knowing that hegemony was no longer feasible, and preparing to agree to three competitions and then defect to him.

"Hiss! Is it like this?"

Everyone gasped upon hearing this.

"Why is this Sun Ce like this? He just chickened out? Too ridiculous!"

"Exactly! Since he came out to compete for hegemony, how can he be so childish? Surrendering before fighting, there is no such reason!"

"You guys stop it! Isn't this a good thing? At least, this can save many people from dying, and can also help the lord take Jiangdong faster and more easily. Can you not just look at merit?"

"Agree! Sun Ce’s move is truly a great act of kindness, very worthy of praise! Those who know the times are heroes! Sun Ce should be one of the heroes of this generation."

"This person is quite decisive, and his mind is also very clear. He is actually willing to bow his head so easily! He is a character!"

"It’s not exactly easy! He just doesn't see the hope of victory;"
