Chapter 1182

~7 min read 1,376 words

Returning to the military camp, Lv Bu called Lv Hao.

"Lv Hao, this time our whereabouts were leaked; I suspect it's either the Prefecture Office or the Five Peaks Pass side."

"Go and secretly investigate this matter; you must find this person for me."

Lv Bu had a look of anger on his face.

After all, being betrayed by his own people, how could he not be angry? One must know that over these years, he had fought so many major and minor battles for Jiuyuan Commandery.

It could be said that he had been through life and death for Jiuyuan Commandery, but now, there were actually people who wanted him dead.

Although Lv Bu didn't have a deep sense of politics, he guessed some, nothing more than his power damaging the interests of some people.

After all, the Lv clan, through the cultivation of their three generations of ancestors, had now become a significant noble family in Jiuyuan Commandery.

Although the Lv clan didn't have many clansmen, now his father was a general commanding ten thousand people in Jiuyuan Commandery, and he himself, although only a Colonel, controlled the most elite cavalry.

The father and son could be said to control half of the military power of Jiuyuan Commandery, and even because the strength of both father and son was very powerful.

It could be said that in terms of power alone, the Lv clan had already occupied the first position in Jiuyuan Commandery.

Jiuyuan Commandery itself didn't have any big noble families, and even the Prefecture Office of Jiuyuan Commandery, this official of the imperial court, although he controlled the military and political power on the surface, in reality, he didn't have any place to touch the military aspect.

He was completely sidelined, and this Commandery Commandant thing, generally in the borderlands, was actually held by those in power in the army.

But because the Lv clan rose too fast, and in the imperial court, they didn't have any connections, naturally the Commandery Commandant didn't fall into their hands.

The Lv clan was not like the Zhang clan of Yanmen; the Zhang clan of Yanmen had a history of a thousand years, and this history meant that the Zhang clan had people serving as officials in the government a thousand years ago, officials, not clerks.

Although it was very small, it was in the county government, but that was also an official; having experienced a thousand years of time, the Zhang clan of Yanmen had already become a true noble family.

They had produced Prefects, but more of the Zhang clan of Yanmen developed in the army, so there were only two or three Prefects.

But in the army, they had even become generals, generals in the Central Plains, not miscellaneous generals.

It was precisely because of this that the influence of the Zhang clan in Bingzhou was very great, so the Commandery Commandant was not a difficult thing for the Zhang clan.

But the Lv clan had only risen for three generations.

Although before this, the Lv family also had people in the army, and there were people who appeared as battalion commanders, but there was a gap.

Unable to continue, naturally unable to last long.

And Lv Bu's three generations of ancestors all reached high-level positions in the army, so the Lv family truly rose.

However, the rise was too short, and they only had influence in Jiuyuan Commandery, without a trace of connections in the imperial court.

Although the Commandery Commandant thing had almost no power in the Central Plains.

After all, the Central Plains region had been peaceful for thousands of years, the local army was rotten, and the Commandery Commandant and the like were just taking the imperial court's salary for nothing.

But the border Commandery Commandant had real power.

However, regardless of whether there was real power or not, this Commandery Commandant was at least a high-ranking official of over a thousand shi, a frontier official second only to the Prefect in the local area.

Only the central government had the power to appoint.

The Lv clan had no connections in the imperial court, so naturally, no one would ask for merit for them, having power but no name.

Because of the sudden rise, the Lv clan obtained a lot of benefits; after all, if the Lv clan wanted to expand the family, they could only snatch resources from other places.

After all, the Lv clan was too small at the beginning; to develop, especially the resources for cultivation, they could only get them from outside, so they inevitably offended some local big clans in Jiuyuan Commandery, and even the government.

It was just because of Lv Bu's strength that these local forces didn't dare to have any complaints.

After all, Lv Bu was at the peak of the Spirit Refining realm, and even in the Central Plains, not many people would offend him; Lv Bu alone had killed several Spirit Refining experts.

Don't know if there were ten Spirit Refining experts in the entire Bingzhou.

One could imagine the degree of Lv Bu's terror.

Knowing that they couldn't deal with Lv Bu themselves, they thought of borrowing a knife to kill, which was not impossible.

The Han people of the Central Plains were never united internally; otherwise, with so many elites in the border army, if they really used their hearts to deal with the grassland aliens, it wouldn't be so difficult.

But unfortunately, internal strife.

Especially the fighting between noble families was everywhere.

Before Lv Bu had heard of it, but didn't care; now thinking about it, he realized he had underestimated those families.

He didn't put them in his eyes before; in his eyes, if those families really dared to act against him, he would strike once, and no one could stop him.

But now, the other party didn't confront him head-on at all, but instead played tricks.

Then this made him feel a bit tricky.

After all, now, he was just guessing, and didn't know at all who leaked his news this time.

Compared to their Lv clan, these noble families in Jiuyuan Commandery had existed for a long time, and some families even had a history of over a thousand years.

They were involved in all aspects of Jiuyuan Commandery, and even a vendor selling wheat cakes might be one of their people.

So he asked Lv Hao to investigate, but in reality, he didn't have much expectation; although Lv Hao was a bit careful, compared to those with many tricks, he was still far behind.

Thinking of this, Lv Bu also felt a bit tired in his heart.

Don't look at him controlling the most powerful cavalry in Jiuyuan Commandery, but this was not so easy; the consumption of the cavalry was very terrifying.

The Lv clan rose too short, and wanting to keep such a cavalry was not easy; this was also why he often led troops out to the grassland to rob those grassland tribes, only in this way could he exchange for money and exchange for more resources to keep this cavalry.

In addition, regarding the winning over of some forces, Lv Bu himself was also very disgusted; those forces clearly had strength, but facing the grassland aliens, most people just tightened their power.

It made him very unhappy.

Although Lv Bu didn't care much about the bottom-layer common people, this Jiuyuan was the place where he was born and raised, and his arrogance absolutely didn't allow others to come here to destroy it.

However, relying on him alone, he absolutely couldn't lead an army of one hundred thousand.

Why did he repeatedly charge the enemy's army of one hundred thousand with one or two thousand troops before? It wasn't because he didn't have any other power.

Of course, it was better now, because he had completely displayed his power, and also made the army in Jiuyuan Commandery and even other places believe in him.

His original cavalry was only three hundred, but now it had become three thousand; most of them were other troops who were completely willing to follow him and join him.

This was the reputation of Lv Bu Lv Fengxian, the reputation of being invincible.
