The first year of Jian'an.

April 13th.

The recruitment of troops continued under Liu Bei's rule, and the wind of joint-stock caravans gradually blew the hearts of many wealthy families in the Jianghuai Channel.

But no one knew how nervous the people under Liu Bei's army were at this time.

Everyone was preparing for it, and even Lin Chen, who was already in charge of many things, was given command of an army by Liu Bei.

This is how Zhang Fei and Jian Yong are, this is how Taishi Ci and Jian Yong are, and this is how Guan Yu and Lu Su are even more how they are.

Even Liu Bei himself lived in the military camp with Chen Dao most of the time.

Only in the morning did he handle all matters in the Wancheng Government Office—mainly approval.

Simply put, the 40,000 soldiers who have been recruited in a few days are preparing for the war.

The reason is simple, just two words: Yuan Shu.

The letters of "Apologize" and the good food they bought have indeed been sent.

But the question is whether Yuan Shu would "bypass" Liu Bei's offense.

This is something no one can say.

Once Yuan Shu decides to fight, it is very likely that a protracted war will begin between the two sides.

It doesn't matter who wins, but Cao Cao will definitely laugh wildly.

Because that means that his Central Plains strategy can be easily achieved after two people win and lose.

It can be said that the current situation is already so tense that it is outrageous.

Even Yuan Shu decided whether Liu Bei could gain a foothold in the future and whether Liu Bei's army's strategy could continue in the future.

...

"When I was attacking Zheng Bao and others for the lord, Liu Bei suddenly launched an attack. In two days, he conquered Wan County, Juchao, Tongxiang City, and Shucheng was in danger!"

"If Liu Bei takes Shucheng and the entire Lujiang River will be all in the hands of this thief."

"Master, you can't ignore it!"

Shouchun.

Looking at Liu Xun crying below, Yuan Shu was surprised to find that he didn't have much emotional fluctuation.

He thought to himself: Maybe this is the emperor's mind?

"Zi Tai, you don't have to panic so much, I have everything."

Yuan Shu took a sip of his favorite and cheapest honey water, and seemed to have returned to childhood again. A faint smile appeared on his face.

"Here."

Liu Xun wiped the tears from his face, and his emotions were extremely complicated.

It shouldn't be like this.

According to the past practice, Yuan Shu probably had already jumped and cursed when he heard others dare to offend him.

Now, what's wrong?

Just after Liu Xun slowly stood up, Yuan Shu looked at Zhang Xun who was standing beside him: "Ziye thought, what should be done?"

In fact, many people think that Ji Ling is the number one general under Yuan Shu is wrong.

The first general under Yuan Shu, whether at the beginning or when he became emperor, was always Zhang Xun.

What you need to know here is that after Shu Dad claimed to be the emperor, the general was named Zhang Xun.

I think no one doesn’t know how powerful the generals of the Han Dynasty were?

From this point of view, Zhang Xun is the most important general in Yuan Shu, and there is absolutely no problem.

Of course, after something happened, he also liked to discuss with the other party.

If you have to explain, the relationship between Zhang Xun and Yuan Shu is probably very similar to Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

Except for the lack of worship and no friendship like family, everything else is not much different.

"I thought that Liu Bei had great ambitions and must not indulge himself..."

After a little thought, Zhang Xun secretly observed Yuan Shu's expression and continued: "At present, we should attack him!"

"Okay, then follow what Zitai said!"

Yuan Shu stood up and said with great enthusiasm: "Article, Zhao Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, Liang Gang, Yan Xiang... and others come to see me."

In a moment, a large number of strategists and generals came.

When everyone under his command was in place, Yuan Shu looked at the gathering of talents and laughed: "I want to attack Liu Bei immediately. Do you have any different opinions?"

"The Lord's order is our spear!"

"Since the lord has his destiny, how can I bear it?"

"The lord is wise. Liu Bei has not gained a foothold at this time. As for the attack at this time, it is the most wonderful!"

No one objected.

Even Yan Xiang, who is known for his calmness, did not object.

At this point, Liu Bei has not yet gained a foothold. If he really wants to fight, he has a great chance of winning.

The probability of losing is very small.

And if he wins, Yuan Shu will have even greater control over Lujiang.

Yes.

Although Yuan Shu nominally controlled Lujiang and appointed Liu Xun, what was Liu Xun? How many people present didn’t know?

Yan Xiang and others even said that this person has something like a rebellious person behind his head...

But there was no way, Liu Xun had already gained a firm foothold.

Even if they were asked to go, they probably wouldn't dare to do so, and they could only curse in their hearts.

But if Yuan Shu could sort out Lujiang once, then it would be hard to say whether the prefect of this place would be Liu Xun.

People's hearts are all greedy.

"good!"

When Yuan Shu saw that no one objected, he was overjoyed and ordered directly: "I ordered Zhang Xun to be the general, and Le contacted the army to supervise the battle, dispatched 50,000 troops, and set off immediately!"

"Here!"

"Abide by the order!"

The two stood up one after another.

Yuan Shu pressed his hand down and then continued: "I will be the first to be reborn, Ji Ling, Liang Gang, and Qiao Rui (rui) each lead 8,000 people."

"Here!"

"Here!"

"Here!"

Three people left the list.

Yuan Shu smiled at him and ordered again: "I will supervise the battle myself in this battle, and Liu Xun will follow the battle."

"Also, after I go to war, Chen Ji (not Chen Qun's father), Yang Hong and Li Feng stayed behind to defend."

Everything was arranged, and everyone felt that when Yuan Shu was about to conquer Liu Bei, even Zhang Xun began to order troops.

But at this moment, an emergency occurred.

That's right, it's Liu Bei's letter of peace.

Although it came late, it still came.

"My lord Liu Bei attacked Lujiang this time because of the previous incident, Duke Yuan bribed Lu Bu and had no intention of fighting with Yuan openly."

As soon as he returned to Liu Bei's rule, Sun Gan, who was appointed as an envoy, said to Yuan Shu tremblingly: "To show his sincerity, when my lord sent me, he also gave me 50,000 hu of grain. I don't know that Mr. Yuan thought..."

"Damn it!"

After reading the letter silently, Yuan Shu slapped the table with a red face.

It's over.

Sun Gan suddenly closed his eyes.

He knew that as a disciple of a great Confucian scholar, he would definitely not die.

However, judging from Yuan Shu's performance, it is obvious that he does not accept the apology. It is obvious that the two sides will have a war.

At that time, no matter who lost and who won, Liu Bei would end up being very miserable.

Thinking of this, he sighed deeply in his heart.
