Chapter 237

"Hehe, your words make sense!"

Zuo Feng's eyes lit up.

Lu Zhi is upright, but others may not be.

The world is driven by profit; all hustle and bustle is for the sake of gain!

……

Over the past few days, Su Li had been allocated a plot of land in the Han army camp, and he invited Ju Shou and Zhang He to celebrate their victory.

Now that only the Yellow Turbans in Guang Sect City remained as cornered beasts, there would almost certainly be no more surprises.

Ju Shou and Zhang He were subordinates of Jizhou Inspector Wang Fen, a fact that made Su Li envious; he had always wanted to poach them.

Moreover, Ju Shou and Zhang He were not directly loyal to Wang Fen; they were merely impressed by his talent.

They were simply serving in Jizhou official posts, maintaining a superior-subordinate relationship.

Furthermore, if this world were to follow the progression of Three Kingdoms history, Wang Fen would likely rebel, which would be Su Li's opportunity to recruit the two.

Therefore, Su Li needed to maximize his favorability with Ju Shou and Zhang He.

Su Li needed to maximize his favorability with Ju Shou and Zhang He.

In the future, if something happened, the two might take the initiative to join him.

"As the saying goes, times create heroes. Lord Su has slain the rebel leaders like Zhang Jiao, so the court will surely bestow rewards."

Ju Shou looked at Su Li again, beginning to feel that Su Li was somewhat unfathomable.

Whether it was his personal ability or the troops under his command, he was a standout among the warlords of the world.

The only shortcoming was that, as an "Outsider" lord, his influence and status were not yet equal to the native warlords of this world.

"Slaying Zhang Jiao and the others was merely a matter of luck. Meeting the two of you on this trip is my greatest harvest."

"I wonder what plans the two of you have for the future?"

Su Li smiled slightly at Ju Shou and Zhang He.

"Even if the Yellow Turban Rebellion is quelled, our Jizhou will be left in a state of exhaustion. As a Jizhou official, I must naturally soothe the people and restore production."

Ju Shou's ambitions lay in Jizhou.

Zhang He replied: "I wish to completely pacify the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and the Heishan bandits lingering in Hebei."

Hearing this, Su Li couldn't help but feel a bit discouraged. For now, both Ju Shou and Zhang He had their own ideas; it seemed the opportunity to recruit them was not yet ripe.

However, at this moment.

Zhao Yu was patrolling outside the camp when she saw the Lesser Yellow Gate Zuo Feng leading a team of eunuchs to force their way in. She immediately held her Fire Phoenix Gilded Spear and shouted: "Who are you people, daring to trespass into our camp?!"

Zuo Feng was startled by Zhao Yu's aura and nearly fell off his horse.

An attendant immediately stepped forward to scold Zhao Yu: "We are envoys of the Son of Heaven, and this is Lord Zuo Feng. You little girl, how dare you collide with the envoy! Kneel and beg for forgiveness!"

"Whether you are Zuo Feng or Right Feng, without prior notification, trespassing into the camp means death!"

Zhao Yu swung her Fire Phoenix Gilded Spear, directly knocking Zuo Feng's attendant flying.

Although Zhao Yu was usually cute and obedient in front of Su Li, in the eyes of others, she was cold and possessed the spirit of a heroine.

How dare a few mere eunuchs trespass into their camp?

"You... you..."

Zuo Feng's face turned iron-blue.

He had intended to use this opportunity of inspecting on behalf of Emperor Ling Liu Hong to scrape up some wealth, but ever since arriving at the Jizhou Han army camp, he had hit walls everywhere.

He had thought an "Outsider" lord might be easier to talk to.

As it turned out, even a female general under an Outsider lord dared to slap his face.

This was simply bullying him too much.

Zhao Yu stood before the camp gate with her Fire Phoenix Gilded Spear, not allowing someone like Zuo Feng, who hadn't announced himself, to enter even half a step.

Zuo Feng originally wanted to scold Zhao Yu a few times, but thinking of the aura she had just displayed, he immediately shrank back.

"Hmph! As expected, Outsiders are all barbaric people!"

"Let's go, we'll go to Liu Bei's camp in Zhuoxian."

Zuo Feng had no choice but to turn his horse around and head to the camp of Liu Bei and the others.

Before coming, Zuo Feng had already thoroughly investigated the background of every Han army unit.

In this battle of Yecheng, the most outstanding performer was Su Li, this Outsider lord.

Next were the three of Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

Zuo Feng prepared to visit them one by one to see if anyone was wise enough to recognize the times.

Arriving at Liu Bei's camp.

It just so happened that Zhang Fei was patrolling outside Liu Bei's camp to prevent any sudden raids by Yellow Turban remnants.

"You eunuchs, instead of thinking about serving the court, you take this opportunity to scrape up wealth. You're asking for a beating!"

Zhang Fei's actions were even more ruthless than Zhao Yu's; he directly injured several of Zuo Feng's attendants, not giving them any chance to enter the camp.

"Damn it, these rebellious thieves! When I return to the court, I will definitely report them to the Regular Attendant lords!"

Zuo Feng hit walls everywhere and was extremely depressed, having no choice but to leave viciously.

…………

Back to Su Li's side.

"Xiao Yu, there was a commotion outside the camp just now. What happened?"

Su Li was drinking and talking with Ju Shou and Zhang He in the camp when he heard movement outside, so he let Xiao Yu in.

"Big Brother, please rest assured. Someone wanted to force their way into our camp, but I drove them away."

"Daring to force their way into our army? They must be tired of living!"

"Yes! That's what I thought too. Their leader seemed to be called Zuo Feng; I beat him away!"

"..."

Su Li was speechless.

Good heavens, Zhao Yu had directly maxed out his hatred with the eunuch faction.

After all, Zuo Feng was the spokesperson pushed forward by the Ten Regular Attendants.

However, this might not be a bad thing.

Ju Shou and Zhang He seemed to despise the Ten Regular Attendants.

By offending the eunuch faction, his favorability with Ju Shou and Zhang He rose again.

Ju Shou even took the initiative to offer advice: "There are no major battles in Jizhou now; General Lu is here to hold the fort. If Brother Su is worried about Zuo Feng framing you, you can immediately head to Luoyang City to clear the relationship with the Grand General's mansion."

"Let Grand General He Jin keep the Ten Regular Attendants in check!"

Ju Shou not only took the initiative to offer advice but also changed his address from "Lord Su" to "Brother Su," clearly indicating that his favorability toward Su Li had risen to a very high level.

And what he said was very critical.

The current situation in Luoyang was a standoff between the Ten Regular Attendants and Grand General He Jin.

Since he had offended the Ten Regular Attendants, he had to take a side with Grand General He Jin.

Not necessarily to serve him, but on the surface, he needed to navigate the relationships in the Grand General's mansion.

Only then could he maximize the merit of defeating the rebel leaders like Zhang Jiao.

Otherwise, once Zuo Feng and the others interfered.

Great merit would become small, and small merit would become nothing; that would be meaningless.

Thinking of this.

Su Li made a decision.

That was to head to Luoyang to navigate relationships and, at the same time, witness the prosperity of the imperial capital!
