Although there must be a battle between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, but now Yuan Shu really doesn't have the heart to help Gongsun Chan deal with Yuan Shao, although now is a good opportunity, but because Liu Biao attacked Nanyang, Yuan Shu had to focus most of his attention on Nanyang, after all, compared with attacking Yuan Shao, it is more in line with Yuan Shu's current interests to hold Nanyang.

After putting away the holy weapon of the thunder beast mallet, Yuan Shu ordered someone to summon a group of civil and military personnel who were currently in Pingyu City to come to discuss the matter. He has already returned from Ruyang, and the matter of going south to Nanyang should also be on the agenda.

After Yuan Shu's order went down, not long after, Ji Ling, Xu Chu, Xu Ding, Xun Yue, Yu She, Xun Yan, Chen Zhong, Yuan Yin, Yuan Jian and others had already arrived, and they were seated separately.

After Yuan Shu saw that the people had almost arrived, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Jingzhou Liu Biao led the troops to attack Nanyang, and I, Yuan Shu, am now the Nanyang Taishou appointed by the Son of Heaven, this Liu Biao's move cannot be easily forgiven, I want to raise troops to attack Liu Biao in Nanyang, I don't know what you think?" ”

As soon as Yuan Shu's voice fell, Ji Ling, Xu Chu, Xu Ding and Yu She, who were on the side of the generals, were happy. For military generals, they have never been afraid of war, on the contrary, they are extremely looking forward to the coming of war, because only on the battlefield can their value be demonstrated, and only through war can they obtain enough military merits, and only military merits can allow them to get everything they want.

And Wenchen's side naturally knew that Yuan Shu was destined to go south to Nanyang, so naturally there would be no obstruction, even if they blocked this matter, it was already a foregone conclusion, and the final result would not change in the slightest.

Seeing that no one raised objections, Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Ji Ling and asked, "Fu Yi, how many soldiers and horses can we use now?" ”

Ji Ling got up and said respectfully: "My lord, in the first battle of Chen Liu, we have lost a lot of money, counting the soldiers and horses that need to be stationed in various places, we can now use 30,000 troops." ”

"Thirty thousand?" Yuan Shu frowned, looked at Xun Yue, and asked, "Zhongyu, how many soldiers and horses do we have in Nanyang?" ”

Xun Yue said: "Back to the lord, Nanyang originally had 20,000 soldiers and horses, and later Captain Pan and Master Yan led an army of 20,000 to the south, and now the available soldiers should be between 20,000 and 30,000." ”

"Fifty to sixty thousand?" Yuan Shu's eyes released a fine light, and said, "It's enough." ”

At this time, Yuan Shu's eyes fell on Yuan Lian, and said, "Yaoqing, you personally go to Guanyang and tell Lu Bu that this time I want him to lead 20,000 wolf horsemen to Nanyang to help in the battle." ”

Yuan Lian's face changed slightly, and he got up and said, "Lord, Lu Bu may not obey orders. ”

Yuan Shu said: "Don't worry, he will, Lu Bu is not a fool, this is also a test, if he is not willing to obey my order, then it means that he has two hearts, and he will not be so disobedient at this time." ”

"My subordinates understand." Yuan Shu said so, and Yuan Shu had no reason to refuse.

"Zhengping, you go to You Heng and ask him to draft a document, this time we will occupy the righteousness."

Yuan Yin got up and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

Maybe it's because Yuan Yao and You Heng both use Zhengping as the word, and the relationship between Yuan Yin and You Heng is also very good, which requires You Heng to do something to make Yuan Yin ironclad That's right.

Yuan Shu's gaze scanned the four directions, and said: "Bokang, Zhongyu, you two stay in Pingyu, pay attention to the movements of Guan Yang and Chen Liu at any time, if there is any change, immediately order someone to report to us, Zhengping and Yaoqing will also stay, and Zhongyu, this time the logistics are all in charge of you, and there must be no mistakes." Fuyi, Zhongkang, Huxing, Xiaoxian, Xiuruo, a few of you prepare, as long as Lu Bu moves, we will set off. ”

Xu Ding, Xun Yue, Yuan Yin and Yuan Jian were left behind by Yuan Shu, and there was no objection, and the burden of logistics was on them, which also made them a little distressed, but fortunately, there were no natural disasters in Nanyang and Yuzhou in the past two years, otherwise they might not be able to support Yuan Shu's series of battles.

Yuan Yao saw that Yuan Shu had already arranged all the civil and military forces, so he couldn't help but feel anxious, stepped forward, and said, "Father, what about the child?" Why is there no arrangement for children? ”

Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Yao, frowned, and was about to drink him back, but Yuan Yao had already noticed Yuan Shu's next move, and took the lead in saying: "Father, the child has three thousand elites under him, and he can be an army of 10,000, why don't you let the child attack Nanyang together." ”

Yuan Shu originally wanted Yuan Yao to stay in Pingyu, but when Yuan Yao said this, Yuan Shu also remembered the three thousand elites under Yuan Yao's command and this time Yuan Yao's record of breaking Zhang Chao's 10,000 army with three thousand people, and after thinking about it, he said: "Okay, this time I will let you follow the army, but everything in the army must be strictly in accordance with military orders, and you must not act rashly, otherwise, you will be dealt with by military law." ”

Yuan Yao's face was solemn and said, "The child understands." ”

As long as he can attack with the army, Yuan Yao doesn't care what Yuan Shu says, as for what Yuan Shu said, once he makes a rash move, Yuan Yao doesn't believe it, with Yuan Shu's love for him, that is, a few words of scolding.

Yuan Shu stood up at this time and said, "Let's go down and prepare." ”

"We obey!"

The next day, Lu Bu, who was in Guanyang, received an order from Yuan Shu, and after this order came, Lu Bu summoned Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to come to discuss the matter, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are also the two people that Lu Bu has found now who can discuss such a major matter. After some discussion, the three of them decided to send troops, but they did not bring all the 20,000 wolf horsemen with them, but left 1,000 horsemen in Guanyang to protect the Lu Bujun and the others in Guanyang.

Although Lu Bu was attached to Yuan Shu, he was also worried that Yuan Shu had some other ideas, so he still had to have some actions.

Soon after, when Yuan Shu ordered the grain and grass to be sent in place, Lu Bu took the lead in leading his wolf riders to set off from Guanyang and go to Nanyang, relying on the speed of the wolf riding in Nanzhou, it took a few days to arrive in Nanyang Wancheng, stationed outside Wancheng, and soon after, Yuan Shu personally led an army of 30,000, accompanied by Ji Ling, Xu Chu, Yu She, Xun Yan, Chen Zhong, Yuan Yao and others, and arrived in Wancheng.

When Yuan Shu arrived in Wancheng, Pan Feng, Yan Xiang, Yang Hong, Xiahou Lan and others, who were already in Wancheng, all went out of the city to greet them. The 30,000 army led by Yuan Shu, Lu Bu's nearly 20,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry and the original Nanyang army of more than 20,000, for a while, Yuan Shu gathered more than 70,000 soldiers and horses in Nanyang, far exceeding the 50,000 soldiers and horses that Liu Biao now has in Nanyang.
