"I didn't expect that Lu Ziqian would end up on the same old path after all." "Huangfu Song and the others will also suffer the same fate?"
He came back full of joy, but as a result, all three lieutenants were demoted without exception.
It was obviously the loss of the Forbidden Army that made Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty furious. It was also because he originally suppressed the big families, but as a result of the Yellow Turban uprising, the power of the local big families increased, but his Forbidden Army suffered such a huge loss, almost half of the loss.
How not to be angry.
This is an army he spent decades building.
If he hadn't seen the three men finally suppressing the main force of the Yellow Turbans, he might have wanted to kill the three of them.
After the Yellow Turban Uprising, the imperial court suffered the greatest loss. The Zhenguo Wusheng was already dead.
This news certainly cannot be kept secret for long.
For the Liu family, it is even worse.
It can be said that Lu Zhi and the others were not demoted. Of course, this also caused controversy. In any case, the three of them suppressed the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The court became increasingly chaotic.
Of course, the three people from Wei, Shu, Wu, Sun Jian and Cao Cao that Su Fan cared about were all promoted because they had support behind them.
Not only did Liu Bei have no support, but because of Lu Zhi, even the original Pingyuan Order was gone.
It can be said that it is quite unlucky to have two younger brothers who are peerless generals, but the court does not care about this.
Especially the eunuch group, they hated Lu Zhi very much. As Lu Zhi's disciple, Liu Bei was also hated.
This is what Su Fan later found out from the little yellow gate.
"My lord seems to pay a lot of attention to those three brothers?"
"Those two are peerless generals who are no weaker than Zhong Kang. Do you think I can ignore them?"
"A powerful general comparable to Zhong Kang?"
Hearing this, Xi Zhicai was also shocked. How could he not know how strong Xu Chu was? He was definitely the top general in the army. He didn't expect to meet two of them again now.
"So, the other person is also extraordinary?"
"How do you feel about being able to have two peerless generals following you with all your heart?"
Liu Bei's personality charm is indeed very strong. After all, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have lived and died with him for many years.
With the strength of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, if they had another boss, they would have been in high positions long ago, instead of wasting decades as before.
Of course, according to history, Liu Bei did not live up to the trust of the two.
"So, this person must be extraordinary."
"Lord, do you want to conquer three people?"
"Haha! It's impossible. That person has great ambitions and will not surrender to others. His two brothers are also following this person wholeheartedly."
Su Fan shook his head. He knew that it would be difficult to recruit two people.
And now Liu Bei is not in his eyes at all. What can even Zhang Fei and Guan Yu do?
There are many peerless generals in the world, Xu Chu is no less than two of them, and Dian Wei is sure to conquer them.
There are also powerful generals like Donglai Taishi Ci who are no worse than the two of them, and with his current position as the governor of Donghai County, there is absolutely no problem in recruiting these people.
After all, the family background of military commanders is generally lower than that of scribes.
In the eyes of these people, the prefect is already high enough.
"Well! The best way is to eliminate it in advance." Xi Zhicai's eyes showed a bit of murderous intent.
"Haha! They can't threaten us yet." Su Fan shook his head confidently. He is now the prefect of a county.
Liu Bei only got a county captain from a lower county. The gap between the two was huge.
If Liu Bei had no advisers to plan for him, he would still have wasted decades.
At that time, he didn't even know how far it had developed.
And with Liu Bei's current status, the possibility of getting a first-class counselor is really low.
Counselors generally need to have a certain family background, and there are very few who come from poor families. Looking at the counselors in the late Han Dynasty, there are a few who come from poor families, Guo Jia and Li Ru are the few.
The one with the lowest background is Xi Zhicai.
A counselor is different from a general. To become a first-class counselor, you need a high level of inheritance. Zhuge Liang is talented and intelligent, but if he had not received the guidance of Mr. Shui Jing, it would have been difficult for him to become a top counselor.
Liu Bei's identity was destined not to be taken seriously by counselors, and due to the Yellow Turban chaos this time, he could not get the military honors he deserved. He was just a small county captain, so he was really not taken seriously.
He didn't take Liu Bei seriously.
As for killing Liu Bei and the others, it is not that easy. With the strength of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, with the existence of these two people, unless there are several sixth and seventh level refining people who attack together.
But even if Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are allowed to escape, there will be trouble in the future.
He smiled and shook his head and refused: "He can't threaten us yet."
"Zhicai, next, we should go back to Donghai County. We asked you to find as many craftsmen and ink workers as we could here in Luoyang. How many of them are willing to come back to Donghai County with us?"
Su Fan asked Xi Zhicai to come to Luoyang, firstly to spend money to gain access to Zhang Rang's relationship, and secondly to bring back a group of craftsmen and ink workers from Luoyang.
If he wants to develop, he cannot do without these people.
He is not afraid of having no one to fight for hegemony in the world, and to advise his ministers and generals. As his official position becomes higher and higher, he will definitely be able to attract a group of people.
However, it is impossible to widen the gap with other princes by relying on advisors and generals alone.
Especially he knew that in the future, people like Yuan Shao would already have a group of Wencheng generals around them, and their abilities would not be bad.
The natural advantages of top aristocratic families, in this aspect, not even Su Fan can match.
So he still needs a stronger advantage, so the best way is to improve the productivity of his own territory.
Use strong logistics to defeat various princes.
And all of this is naturally inseparable from the craftsmen and ink workers.
"The people my lord wants, I have already found thirteen ink workers, six master craftsmen, and some of their apprentices, a total of seventy-eight people."
"There are only eight people among them who possess the power of runes."
Xi Zhicai had seen Su Fan's previous territory with his own eyes and knew the role of these master ink craftsmen, so he was very attentive.
But after all, although these talents do not have a very high status in the world, they are not desperate in Luoyang.
Many people here in Luoyang can still eat and drink enough to support their families, so naturally they are unwilling to move.
Leaving home, I have no desire to do so.
“Already very good”
When Su Fan heard this, he was not dissatisfied at all. After all, he knew that such talents were not so easy to recruit.
Can the aristocratic family really not see the abilities of these people?
If you can’t see why most people are ‘bought’ by them.
It's just that they don't have the foresight of Su Fan's later generations, and they can't really use the abilities of these people.
"With these people, our development will be faster."
Su Fan said with a smile.
"In this case, we will set off in five days."
"It's time to go back."
