Chapter 671

"Uh..."

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

"In this way, wouldn't I be wasting a few months of time? If so, how can I catch up to 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 says you can't go to the Merit Pavilion to exchange for divine arts and resources to cultivate after going to the new recruit camp, right?"

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

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

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

This was 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 regulations and orders? I am good at it, and I will master it quickly!"

"Hehe!"

Su Xuan smiled: "As a Heaven-Man 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 much longer do you need to be ready?"

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

"What's good about that ghostly place? What's the use of taking it down?"

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

Su Xuan shrugged: "Naturally, it has great use!"

"Although 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, and so on, and it is also suitable for planting spiritual herbs and raising exotic beasts;"

"In short, there are many benefits!"

Mountainous terrain also has the advantages of mountainous terrain!

He can completely set up a large number of Spirit-Locking Arrays and Star-Spirit-Turning Arrays in these mountains and forests, creating one exotic beast breeding base and spiritual herb planting base after another.

As the troops and martial artists under his command become more numerous and stronger, the spiritual herbs and exotic beast meat consumed every day are constantly increasing, and the places in Jingzhou where large arrays can be set up have basically been set up.

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

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

For one thing! They hadn't signed any spiritual confidentiality contracts;

For another thing! Even if he told them, Lu Bu and the others wouldn't understand, and they would just keep asking questions endlessly.

It would be better to let Lu Bu and the others check and understand for themselves at the Merit Pavilion and the Scripture Library later.

"Oh? Is that so?"

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

"Hehe! Perhaps!"

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

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

"In this way, fewer people will die, and it will also leave me enough time to cultivate enough talent."

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

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

Unifying the South is still 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 and glared at Lu Bu: "Brother Fengxian, that's not very authentic! Do you understand first come, first served?"

"This vanguard general for Jiangdong should be me!"

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

Zhao Yun frowned and said unconvinced: "That was just a tiny Jiujiang! The key is that it wasn't an annihilation battle, and letting Sun Ce run away meant there wasn't much merit at all, okay?"

At this time, Wen Pin smiled lightly: "No matter how you argue, taking Jiangdong will inevitably require our navy, so there will definitely be no shortage of us going out!"

"Heh!"

Zhao Yun sneered: "Zhongye, don't be proud. There are three naval forces under the Lord, not including the navy. It's not certain which naval force will be dispatched!"

"I think! It's highly likely to be the Jiangxia Navy, after all, they are close!"

"Actually, the Jiangling Navy is also good!"

Wen Pin's face darkened.

Zhao Yun was deliberately undermining him! It was simply unbearable.

"That's right!"

At this time, Huang Zu 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 fight 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 shocked, feeling as if they were on pins and needles, and stopped arguing one after another, looking at Su Xuan in horror.

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

"Besides! This time taking Jiangdong, there will basically be no major battles!"

"By then, there will only be three trials. If you are interested in this, you can fight for the quota to go out."

The secret guards have eyes and ears everywhere. Su Xuan knew Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's plans clearly from the beginning.

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

"Trials?"

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

"The situation is like this..."

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

"Hiss! It's actually like this?"

Everyone gasped.

"Why is Sun Ce like this? He just chickened out? That's too much!"

"Exactly! Since he came out to compete for hegemony, how can he be so childish? Surrendering before fighting, that makes no sense!"

"You guys stop it! Isn't this a good thing? At the very least, this can save many lives and help the Lord take Jiangdong faster and more easily. Can you stop just looking at merit?"

"Agreed! 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 any hope of victory;"
