After understanding the key point, Wang Xuan's furrowed brows relaxed as well. "Since these fellows are targeting the grassland tribes, why are they making things so complicated?"
"Hahaha, isn't this the perfect excuse? Otherwise, how would they dare casually propose sending troops to war?" Seeing Wang Xuan relax, Liu Bei knew he had come up with a plan and naturally felt reassured.
"Then let's launch a northern campaign. A campaign against the grasslands isn't bad either. We can deal with the foreign tribes and expand our territory. In any case, it's far better than bullying our own people."
After learning that Wang Xuan had agreed, the entire military sprang into action. Compared to training every day, going to war was undoubtedly much more exciting.
Three days later, Wang Xuan and Liu Bei arrived at the military headquarters' main conference room. As they pushed open the doors and entered the meeting hall, they immediately saw the military's great generals sitting upright: Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, Guan Hai, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Taishi Ci, Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu, Wu Anguo, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Gongsun Zan, Huang Xu...
For this first battle after Liu Bei became king, the military was undoubtedly taking it extremely seriously. Whether army or navy, everyone wanted to participate.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." When Wang Xuan and Liu Bei entered, everyone rose and saluted.
"You may dispense with the rites, my lords." As he spoke, Liu Bei walked over and sat in the seat of honor.
Wang Xuan instead stood before everyone, swept his gaze around the room, and said, "This meeting is about the northern campaign."
"The first phase of the northern campaign will target the Wuhuan people on the grasslands north of Youzhou.
