As soon as Yuan Shu's new loyal fan Zhang Song left Shouchun, he began to summon all the advisers to discuss the attack on Shu.

Now the situation has been developing in a favorable direction, Yuan Shu said to the advisers:

"With Zhang Song's map of Xichuan, the obstacles to our army's attack on Shu have been much smaller.

Tell me, how should we fight this battle?"

The head of Yuan Shu’s counselors, Liu Bowen, said:

"This time we attack Shu, our army should set up a large army with a dignified army.

To demonstrate our army's determination to win in Xichuan, it inspires the morale of the soldiers.

At the same time, it can also intimidate the princes in the world."

As soon as Liu Bowen said this, he received the approval of other advisers.

In the past two years, although Yuan Shu has seized Jingzhou and quelled the rebellion in Jiangnan, the two prefectures of Jingyang have been mainly focused on rest and recuperation and have not experienced large-scale wars.

Now that the country is rich and the people are rich under Yuan Shu’s rule, the soldiers are well-trained and the food is sufficient, and the soldiers are eager to make achievements on the battlefield. It is time to demonstrate their strength.

Yuan Shu nodded, and the strategy of raising troops was basically decided.

Yuan Shu said again:

"After all, our army is a benevolent and righteous army. If we raise troops to attack Shu, we need to be famous."

Jia Xu, who just returned from Hebei, meant that Dong Yuanshu was instantly inspired.

His eyes rolled, he stood up and bowed to Yuan Shu and said:

"I have the honor of seeing the current emperor when I was in Chang'an.

The emperor was extremely angry at Liu Yan's behavior of building palaces, creating a carriage for the emperor, and cutting off the roads in Shu.

He said bluntly that Liu Yan was a great thief in the country, and his intention to usurpate the rebellion was obvious.

Your Majesty has issued an edict to order knowledgeable people in the world to attack Liu Bei and Liu Yan.

This is a bloody edict from the lord, and I will ask the lord to check it out."

After saying that, Jia Xu presented the robbery written by the little emperor to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu read the edict and felt secretly happy.

Jia Wenhe is so sensible, and the excuse he has made for himself is simply amazing.

Previously, Yuan Shu wanted to create friction on the border between Yizhou and Jingzhou, and then provoke troops.

Now it seems that there is no need!

Is there any reason for sending troops in the world that is more upright than the emperor's imperial edict?

Now Yuan Shu can be said that I don’t want to attack Shu either. Liu Yan and I are good friends, so we should have watched over each other and helped each other.

But the emperor issued a bloody edict here. As a general of the Han Dynasty, the minister who is most loyal to His Majesty, I can't resist the edict, right?

There is no way, I can only let you down for Boss Liu.

No wonder my wife Cao in her previous life would hit anyone she wanted, and whoever she hit was a traitor.

It feels so good to use the emperor to make the princes!

The little emperor's blood edict is also a good thing. There is a saying in it, "Get loyal and righteous people to fight against traitors." It is simply a panacea.

In the blood edict, except for clearly saying that Liu Bei was a traitor, who was a loyal and righteous man and who was a traitor, he did not explain clearly.

Now Yuan Shu, a "loyal and righteous man", is going to raise troops to attack Liu Yan, a "traitor".

Tsk tsk, since I came to Luoyang, I have always been a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, sharing the worries and solving the emperor's problems.

In this attack on Shu, Yuan Shu led 20,000 Shenwei troops, 30,000 Feixiong troops, 10,000 Qilin guards, 10,000 Baili elite troops, 10,000 Iron Eagle soldiers, 10,000 Iron Eagle soldiers, 3,000 dead soldiers, 7,000 Bailang troops, and 10,000 personal guards, a total of 100,000 troops.

The advisers who followed the army included Xi Zhicai, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and other important advisers, Ma Liang and Ma Su from Jingzhou were also transferred to the army by Yuan Shu.

It can be said that the strategists who went to the army this time were mainly advisers from the Shui Jing lineage.

Needless to say, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu, even Xi Zhicai can be regarded as half a disciple of Shuijing.

In terms of military generals, Yuan Shu personally led more than ten generals including Huang Zhong, Gao Chong, Ju Yi, Xu Rong, Zhou Yu, Tong Feng, Chen Dao, Chen Qingzhi, Bai Xin, Tai Shi Ci, Liu Zan, and Ma Zhong to go there.

The war machine led by Wang Yue was running at full speed.

With top martial arts generals like Li Cunxiao, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, who are at the top of martial arts, guarding Yangzhou, Yuan Shu's rear is not empty either.

Before going to war, Yuan Shu set up a banquet in the garden of the General's Mansion to spend a rare and warm time with his wife and children.

Yuan Shu sat in the center, with Diao Chan sitting on his left and Cai Wenji sitting on his right. The other wives and concubines also sat on their lower heads.

Yuan Yao and Yuan Xing were playing in the yard. Yuan Qing and Yuan Ren were too young and were held in the arms by Zou Rong and Zhang Ning.

When Yuan Shu was in the mansion, he went to different wives and concubines to rest every day, and often brought everyone together for dinner in his spare time.

This time, the banquet was arranged more abundantly because we were about to leave Shouchun.

Cai Wenji said to Yuan Shu with some reluctance:

"The senior brother has just rested for a while and is going to launch another army.

I don't know how long it will take to come back..."

Yuan Shu smiled and comforted Cai Wenji:

"The world is not yet determined, so we should put the overall situation first.

Will I be able to stay with you every day after a few years?”

Cai Wenji pouted her mouth and hummed softly:

"I don't believe it. You will definitely be busy dealing with government affairs again at that time."

Diao Chan said softly to Yuan Shu:

“My sisters and I have prepared the things we need for the wedding.

When your husband returns in triumph, you can marry a few sisters to your family."

Yuan Shu nodded gently and said:

"Thank you for your hard work."

He was very satisfied with Diao Chan's arrangement.

The time for sending troops to attack Shu was after the autumn harvest, and it was a good time to raise troops at this time with abundant food and supplies.

Yuan Shu estimated that he would return victoriously around the New Year.

At that time, Shouchun City was the most lively and festive, and it was just right for weddings.

At this time, two little guys Yuan Yao and Yuan Xing ran to Yuan Shu, raised their heads and said to him:

"Dad, we want to go out with you too."

Yuan Shu gently stroked their little heads and said with a smile:

"That'll have to wait until you grow up.

And you have to know martial arts and strategies, otherwise you can't go to the battlefield.

Have you studied hard lately?"

After Yuan Yao and Yuan Xing were six years old, they followed Cai Yong to study in the academy, and now they have almost known their names.

Yuan Shu also teaches them martial arts in his spare time. The little guys learn very seriously and show extraordinary talent.

I have to say that Yuan Shu’s genes are still very strong, and both sons are very smart.

The appearance of the descendants of the Yuan family is even more insignificant. The two children also absorbed the advantages of their mother's appearance and looked very adorable.

Yuan Yao earnestly assured Yuan Shu:

"We are studying hard every day, and even our grandfather praised us for our hard work in studying."

Yuan Xing was still beside him and said:

"My grandfather said that our learning attitude is much better than that of Dad.

My father is often distracted in class, and sometimes he misses classes for no reason."

After hearing Xiao Yuanxing's words, Yuan Shu was covered in black.

Why didn't this father-in-law give me some face? He actually revealed his true feelings in front of his children.
