Chapter 1184

"Who do you think would leak your whereabouts? Your Lv clan rose in three generations and rose in a hundred years, which is indeed extraordinary, but it is also because of the sudden rise, the foundation is not enough, so your Lv clan can only snatch resources from other places."

In this way, your Lv clan has snatched a lot of the interests of the local noble families.

Although your Lv clan has great merit to Jiuyuan Commandery, do you think those people will be grateful to you?

Su Fan's words left Lv Bu speechless for a long time; he was not an idiot; over these years, the Lv clan had indeed snatched a lot of interests in Jiuyuan Commandery to raise the army.

He wouldn't deny this point.

"Moreover, the rise of your Lv clan, especially you father and son, has blocked the future of many people."

There were only so many high-level positions in the army, and the Lv Bu father and son occupied two seats, so naturally, others had fewer.

Especially smart people, who felt more and more that the chaotic world was coming; in this way, the army was the most important.

And yet, the Lv Bu father and son controlled half of the elites in Jiuyuan Commandery.

Don't look at the army in the camp of the Lv father and son, many of which were not built by the father and son themselves, but the prestige of the two was very high, especially Lv Bu, who could be said to be the number one person in the army of Jiuyuan Commandery; regardless of the bottom-layer soldiers or the middle-layer officers, they were all very convinced by Lv Bu.

This point was very important; those noble families controlled the high-level officers, but once Lv Bu called out, probably 90% of the army in Jiuyuan Commandery would follow him.

The army they built themselves benefited others, so naturally, many people were unhappy.

The Lv clan was not the Zhang clan; the Zhang clan of Yanmen had passed down for a thousand years in Yanmen Commandery, and their power involved many places in Yanmen Commandery.

Even one-third of the army in Yanmen Commandery was built by the Zhang clan themselves, and no other noble family in Yanmen Commandery could compete with the Zhang clan.

The Lv clan was different, and their foundation was far from being comparable to the Zhang clan.

As long as Lv Bu was killed, the great wealth left by the Lv clan would all be theirs.

Especially the elite cavalry under Lv Bu; these cavalry were not built by Lv Bu himself, but they were trained by him into the elites they were today.

This cavalry of three thousand was the top-tier Colonel Department among the millions of troops in the ten border states.

Any force coveted him.

"Please, Senior, tell Bu who it is that harmed Bu and Bu's soldiers."

Lv Bu's face was ugly.

"Hehe! There is more than one person who harmed you, maybe several."

Su Fan looked at the other party and shook his head secretly; this Lv Bu was indeed a person who was brave in battle, but unfortunately, his connections were truly terrible.

It was really hard to believe he didn't know how to deal with people.

Reasonably speaking, it was very simple for an expert like him to establish connections; after all, such an expert was still someone many people or forces wanted to win over.

Especially the chaotic world that was about to come, any force would not want to give up such a fierce general.

And Lv Bu or the Lv clan didn't seem to have any idea of standing on their own.

Then why did so many people want the Lv clan to die?

But this was also good; the situation before his eyes was not good for the Lv clan, but it was better for him to operate.

"In fact, this time, those who leaked your whereabouts, besides the Prefecture Office, there were also several noble families, and what makes me most curious is that even the Yuan Prince's Mansion participated."

"When did you, Lv Bu, offend people from the Yuan Prince's Mansion?"

Su Fan looked at Lv Bu curiously.

With the power displayed by Lv Bu, the Yuan Prince's Mansion should have sent people to win him over long ago; the ambition of the Yuan Prince's Mansion should be known to many people on the border.

Zhang Hu was once won over, but Zhang Hu feared the Yuan Prince's Mansion and didn't agree; after all, the Liu Han Dynasty was still there, and the ambition of the Yuan Prince's Mansion was not a good thing.

The Yuan Prince's Mansion was powerful, but compared to the Liu Han Dynasty, it was still not enough.

Although the court was going downhill, the camel that died was still bigger than a horse; it was not so simple for the Yuan Prince's Mansion to stand on its own.

If it went wrong, their Zhang clan would be finished, so Zhang Hu naturally didn't want to enter the game easily.

After all, the Zhang clan was developing well, and there was no need to rely on anyone; if they relied on the Yuan Prince's Mansion, unless the Yuan Prince's Mansion could ultimately compete for the world, then the Zhang clan, as a minister of the dragon, might go further.

But once it failed, the future of the Zhang clan would definitely not be good.

And the Zhang clan with him sitting in town, even without being a minister of the dragon, could develop to the level of a first-class noble family in the future.

Then why did the Zhang clan have to take the risk?

Zhang Hu naturally refused the recruitment of the Yuan Prince's Mansion.

But the Lv clan was different from the Zhang clan; in any case, compared to the noble families on the border, the Yuan Prince's Mansion was a behemoth.

Even the Wang clan of Bingzhou had no resistance against the Yuan Prince's Mansion.

After all, the Yuan Prince's Mansion had existed since the founding of the country; perhaps the Wang clan had existed longer, but the foundation of the Yuan Prince's Mansion was not bad, and in terms of strength, the Yuan Prince's Mansion had produced martial arts experts at the Earth Immortal level, and the inheritance was not bad.

And they had also produced Spirit Refining experts one after another, which even the Wang clan couldn't compare to.

The Wang clan was more of civil officials, and civil officials mostly practiced Confucianism and Daoist methods, but Daoist methods were difficult to improve, and the inheritance was not good, let alone improving to the Spirit Refining realm.

The martial arts experts of the Wang clan were also far from being comparable to the Yuan Prince's Mansion.

Such a behemoth as the Yuan Prince's Mansion definitely had great attraction for small noble families.

If a family like the Lv clan had the support of the Yuan Prince's Mansion, then the rise of the family would be even easier.

Not to mention the Commandery Commandant, even the Prefect would be within reach for the Lv clan.

Don't look at the imperial court suppressing the kings of different surnames, but the Yuan Prince's Mansion wanting two or three Prefect positions was still very easy.

After all, Liu Han had hundreds of commanderies, and a few Prefects were no problem for the Yuan Prince's Mansion; as for the second or third-in-command like the Commandery Commandant, it was even less of a problem.

High-ranking officials like the Prefect, who were ranked two thousand shi, needed the appointment of the imperial court, while things like the Commandery Commandant were generally determined by the Provincial Governor's Office, and then reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court almost wouldn't oppose it.

It was just the Prefect, the number one person, that sometimes various forces in the imperial court would compete for.

But no matter what, if the Yuan Prince's Mansion really wanted to do it, there wouldn't be many people who would oppose it.

After all, the Yuan Prince's Mansion was a true king of different surnames with real power, different from some kings of different surnames in the Central Plains, and the kings of different surnames in the Central Plains all had many students and former officials who became Prefects.

Reasonably speaking, such a behemoth as the Yuan Prince's Mansion definitely had attraction.

Why would they suddenly act against the Lv clan? Even if it was borrowing a knife to kill, this shouldn't be the case; could it be that they feared the Lv clan?

That was too ridiculous; if that was the case, then the Yuan Prince's Mansion really couldn't achieve anything.

Lacking the capacity to tolerate others, this kind of petty behavior was simply not the behavior of someone who could achieve great things.
