The gray-clothed scholar fishing by the lake was Jia Xu, the top adviser of the Great Chu.

The literati who sat beside him and drank tea leisurely was Jia Xu's best friend Li Ru.

Jia Xu did not look up at Ma Zhong, his attention was still on the fishing rod in his hand.

Li Ru drank a sip of tea and smiled at Ma Zhong:

“Master Ma has always been very skilled in doing things.

With you taking action, we brothers are still very relieved.

The deposit paid by Goguryeo has also been shipped back, right?”

Ma Zhong nodded repeatedly and said:

“That’s natural!

And as the two gentlemen expected, they paid a full 20% deposit!

It seems that Gao Nanwu is really anxious."

Speaking of this, Ma Zhong suddenly felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head and said:

"The King of Chuan in Goguryeo also bribed Huxia and gave Huxia a few beauties and a thousand-month tickets.

Military advisor, look..."

Li Ru waved his hand casually and said:

"You keep all these things.

Executing tasks also takes considerable risks, and it's all you deserve."

“Hey…hey!

Thank you, the military advisor!”

Ma Zhong smiled and said that the benefits of plundering Gao Nanwu were considered legal.

Gao Nanwu is really his lucky star!

Li Ru picked up the teacup and said to Ma Zhong:

"Master Ma, you have worked hard for this trip. Go back and have a good rest."

Ma Zhong knew that Li Ru was serving tea and seeing off the guests. After saluting the two military advisors, he respectfully withdrew from the courtyard.

After Ma Zhong left, Li Ru told Jia Xu:

"Brother Wenhe, you have been holding on for half an hour, but you haven't caught a fish.

You might not have baited?"

Jia Xu pulled out the fishing rod and smiled at Li Ru:

"Who said that you didn't catch fish? Didn't you and my brother just catch a big fish for His Majesty?

This fish is so vicious that it will be captured by my emperor sooner or later!”

After Jia Xu finished speaking, the two brothers laughed.

A few days later, Yuan Shu personally led a large army to Liucheng and met with Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others.

Zhuge Liang, Huang Zhong, Lu Xun and Chen Qingzhi were divided into four camps and arranged outside the city.

The elite Chu army near Liucheng reached 600,000.

Goguryeo, Liaodong Gongsun clan, and Wuhuan remnants combined, with a total of 700,000 troops.

It just happened to be the same as the number of Chu troops.

They set up their camp fifty miles away from Liucheng and looked at the Chu army.

Liucheng, Yuan Shu and a group of civil and military officials gathered in the hall to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy.

Xu Shu, Minister of War, said seriously to Yuan Shu:

"With the elite of our army, we are far superior to the rammed masses of foreign races.

Your Majesty can directly order the generals to attack the alien coalition.

In less than a month, all the enemy troops will be destroyed.

This is an open conspiracy!”

Xu Shu’s strategy is very simple, just go straight up and not make those fancy things.

Relying on the Chu army's strong combat power, we destroyed the enemy.

This strategy was supported by many military generals in the hall. Zhang Fei grinned and said with a big mouth:

“Mr. Xu Shu said so well!

With 700,000 thieves, I, Lao Zhang, can finally exercise my muscles and bones.

When will the final battle be? I want to be the pioneer!"

Yuan Shu raised his arm and signaled that the generals should not be impatient.

He took out a letter and smiled at the Chinese martial artist in the hall:

"I originally wanted to send troops directly to defeat the enemy as Yuan Zhi said.

But Mr. Wenhe said he wanted to give me a big gift.

After reading his plan, I think it is feasible.

If the operation is done properly, the loss of soldiers can even be reduced to the extreme."

Yuan Shu said, handing Jia Xu's letter to the counselors for circulating it.

The advisers nodded frequently after seeing it, saying that Jia Wenhe was far-sighted and was a good minister of the Great Chu.

Zhang Fei stretched his neck and said anxiously:

"What's the bad guy Jia Xu's life?

Let me, Lao Zhang, take a look!"

Liu Bei quickly pulled Zhang Fei behind him and whispered:

"Third brother, as a military general, why are you so unaware of the rules?

The combat plan should be decided by His Majesty and several military advisors. What will you get involved with?"

Zhang Fei said a little aggrievedly:

"I'm curious.

What plans did the elder brother have in those days, but they were discussed with me and my second brother.”

Liu Bei sighed:

“One time and another time.

As important officials of the Great Chu, we should abide by the rules of the Great Chu."

Liu Bei said in his heart:

"When I discussed with you, there was no counselor, and there was really no one to discuss.

Later, when I had a counselor, I didn’t dare to tell you important things!”

After deciding the combat plan, Yuan Shu directly led the army to the expedition and headed straight to the coalition camp.

Gao Nanwu and Gongsun Kang also led their troops out of the camp and fought against the Chu army in the wilderness.

After Yuan Shu became emperor, the huge chariot he rode on became more refined and larger in size after Ma Jun.

Yuan Shu named it the Human Emperor Chariot, and he must take it every battle.

The chariot is five zhang long, three zhang wide, and two zhang high. It is as comfortable as a palace and as indestructible as a mobile fortress.

The chariot is divided into three layers and can accommodate thousands of people. The body of the car is made of precision machinery and is driven by hydraulic power.

The bright yellow dragon flags were covered in the car, demonstrating the majesty of the Great Chu Human Emperor.

Yuan Shu and a group of advisers sat upright on the top of the chariot, with the low table in front of him filled with delicacies.

Many palace maids and eunuchs shuttled back and forth on the third floor to serve Yuan Shu.

There is also an exquisite cottage in the middle of the top floor, with all the furniture and furnishings for His Majesty to rest.

This scene is not just a war, but more like His Majesty the Human Emperor brings his ministers out for a tour.

The first and second floors of the chariot are filled with elite soldiers and generals of the Great Chu, and the Imperial Heaven Supervisor Master are in charge.

There are all kinds of sharp weapons such as cannons, huge rocks, strong bows and hard crossbows, which can ensure that Yuan Shu is absolutely safe.

Looking at Yuan Shu wearing an imperial dragon robe and sitting upright on a huge chariot, Gongsun Kang couldn't help but look eager in his eyes and said involuntarily:

"A real man needs to be like this!"

Gao Nanwu snorted from the side:
