Chapter 279

"Sigh..."

Upon hearing that Su Li, who had suppressed the Huang Jin with him in Yecheng, had become the Administrator of Changshan Commandery, Liu Bei let out a faint sigh.

He felt that compared to Su Li, the difference between them was as vast as heaven and earth.

He reckoned that next time they were at home.

He wouldn't even dare to call Su Li "Brother Su" anymore; he would have to address him as "my lord."

Zhang Fei noticed the gloom in Liu Bei's heart and suggested, "Big Brother, we slaughtered countless Huang Jin in Yecheng and performed great meritorious service, yet just because we offended a minor Eunuch, we ended up with only the position of County Commandant, without any real power, and are restricted at every turn."

"In my opinion, this County Commandant position is not worth keeping!"

Liu Bei's gaze darkened as he looked at Guan Yu: "Yunchang, what do you think?"

Guan Yu's expression remained unchanged, and as usual, he habitually stroked his beautiful beard, slowly saying, "Third Brother is right. Big Brother, with your talent, serving as a mere County Commandant is a waste of your abilities!"

Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were of the same mind, Liu Bei fell into deep thought: "I was once a fellow student with the White Horse General Commandant Gongsun BoGui; he is a very good brother."

"Brother BoGui recently sent news that Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju of Youzhou have colluded with the Wuhuan people to launch a rebellion, and he has invited us to go and suppress it."

"Why don't we three brothers go and join him, to serve the country while honing ourselves!"

"I will listen to Big Brother."

"I feel the same!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded at Liu Bei.

With their talents, remaining to guard a single county was truly too stifling.

Liu Bei ultimately decided to abandon his post and leave.

When the Commandery Inspector learned that Liu Bei actually dared to abandon his post voluntarily, he was immediately furious: "Rebellion! Rebellion! A mere County Commandant actually dares to leave without resigning!"

"Men, follow this Inspector and go arrest him!"

Abandoning a post is not a small matter, as it can be defined as contempt for the Emperor's grace.

But it is not a big matter either.

After all, during the Eastern Han period, official positions could be bought with money; if you abandon a post, the imperial court would be more than happy.

But perhaps the Inspector was in a bad mood today and insisted on making a mountain out of a molehill, immediately gathering troops to pursue Liu Bei.

However.

Let alone a minor Inspector like him, even if a Commandery Administrator came, they wouldn't be able to easily arrest Liu Bei.

The result was obvious.

Whether it was the Inspector or the troops he brought, they were all defeated by Liu Bei and his men.

The Inspector was even tied up by Zhang Fei and whipped one hundred times.

The Inspector was almost beaten to death.

It was Liu Bei who hurriedly stopped him, saying: "Zhang Zhang Yide, do not beat him to death, otherwise it will damage our reputation."

Zhang Fei let the Inspector go this time.

To be honest, the three of Liu, Guan, and Zhang all had the temperament of outlaws in the early stages; living a wandering life, they actually didn't have much burden.

In this day and age, what is beating an official to death? It could easily be blamed on bandits.

While Liu Bei was on his way to join Commandant Gongsun Zan.

Su Li had already returned to Bai Yun City, placing the captured Xiliang warhorses into the upgraded stables of Bai Yun City for animal husbandry.

A full twenty thousand plus Xiliang warhorses!

It was enough to form a powerful Red Blood Cavalry.

During this period, Su Li also shared some resources with Luo Mu Qingqing.

That beautiful player was overjoyed.

She was so excited she almost offered herself to him.

Soon.

The imperial court's official appointment documents and the official seal for Su Li as the Changshan Administrator arrived.

The former Changshan Administrator Deng Song was transferred to the imperial court.

"When I first heard the great name of Lord Su, I, Deng, knew that Lord Su was no mere fish in a pond."

"I, Deng, was indeed not mistaken, but I did not expect that you would be the one to replace my position."

When the former Changshan Administrator Deng Song met Su Li again, he felt a bit emotional.

Who could have thought that Su Li would be able to replace his position so quickly.

Hearing Deng Song say this, Su Li felt a bit embarrassed and could only cup his hands in a compliment: "My lord Deng going to the imperial court to serve is also a step up in your career."

Deng Song shook his head: "Luoyang City is full of storms and dangers at every step; it is better to stay in Changshan and live in peace in a corner."

"This..."

Su Li did not know what to say; after all, he had snatched the other man's position as Administrator, so he could only cup his hands and say: "My lord Deng, if you have any difficulties in the future, just send a letter, and I will surely arrive in the middle of the night!"

"I, Deng, accept this sentiment from Lord Su."

Deng Song also cupped his hands and said: "Lord Su, although you have now become the Changshan Commandery Administrator, you are actually in name only; if you want to truly gain a foothold in Changshan Commandery, I am afraid you will still need to use military force."

Su Li smiled: "I naturally understand this; thank you for the reminder, my lord."

Deng Song was right; He Jin only secured the identity of Changshan Commandery Administrator for Su Li, allowing Su Li to legitimately conquer Changshan State... 0

But just becoming an Administrator does not mean you possess the entire Changshan Commandery; you still need strength.

Especially in this Great Han that is about to become a chaotic world, only strength is the true voice of authority.

To completely control the Changshan army, one would mostly likely need to use military force, beating the petty people of the entire Changshan Commandery into submission.

It sounds very troublesome.

But at least now, Su Li possesses the legitimacy to use force.

Of course!

Compared to these, the benefits of becoming an Administrator are undoubtedly more.

Not only does he possess a vast territory, but he also holds the official title of a Commandery Administrator.

In this world, players can gain certain attribute bonuses whether they are promoted or ennobled.

【Changshan Commandery Administrator】

【Category】: Official Position

【Effect】: All attributes +10, Reputation +5000

【Special Effect】: Within the scope of Changshan Commandery, combat power of self and subordinate troops +30%, terrain adaptation +30%, attraction rate for Epic NPCs +20%.

【Description: Han Dynasty official position, Administrator of a Commandery】

Su Li checked the attributes of the official position.

Quite good!

The position of Administrator directly added 10 points to all attributes.

Not only that, but there is also a special effect that allows himself and his subordinate troops to increase their combat power by 30% within Changshan Commandery.

Especially for Epic NPCs, there is a 20% attraction rate.

Coupled with the attraction effect of Bai Yun City, the number one city in the world, on NPCs, I am afraid that before long, Epic NPCs will take the initiative to join.

Subsequently.

After completing the handover with Deng Song, Su Li officially became the Changshan Administrator and moved into Changshan City.
