Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

As soon as he arrived in Liaoxi County, Youzhou, Lin Mu couldn't wait to review the troops.

That's right, the news that he is fine needs to spread in the army. Many conspirators have been stirring up trouble in the National Defense Army and spreading various rumors. The biggest one is that Lin Mu died, fell into a coma, or even was deposed.

Before that, many assassins attacked and killed the generals of the National Protection Army and the National Defense Army, and the morale of both armies was in panic.

Therefore, the first thing Lin Mu did when he went north to Youzhou was to dispel those rumors, stabilize the morale of the army, and then march to the grassland to surround and kill Zhang Ju.

On a huge temporary platform, Lin Mu looked at the disciplined and bustling army below and shouted proudly: "Today, I am here for no other reason than to bring you a banquet."

"Today's banquet is to reward everyone for their perseverance in this bitter cold place."

"Although many soldiers did not come, and were represented by squad leaders, team commanders, and so on, this general promises that all soldiers will hold banquets in other military camps at the same time, drinking big bowls of wine and eating big mouthfuls of meat!!!" Lin Mu shouted with full energy.

"Thank you, General! I appreciate you, General!!!" The soldiers were overjoyed.

"Today's banquet is not only a reward for everyone, but also a farewell for the upcoming battle."

"The thief Zhang Ju disregarded the laws of the Han Dynasty and the ethics of being a minister, and dared to claim the throne without permission. He used the power of other ethnic groups, such as the Xianbei and Wuhuan, to claim the throne, thus disrupting the order and destiny of the Han Dynasty."

"Anyone who commits such treason will be punished by heaven. Today, his punishment has come. On behalf of the Dragon Court, this general swears to kill this traitor."

"This general promises that if any soldier can kill Zhang Ju, he will be promoted three levels, receive a million-dollar bounty, a million-dollar reputation, a top-grade weapon, and a piece of heavenly armor!" Lin Mu shouted loudly.

So the soldiers heard this and roared: "We swear to behead this thief for the general!!!"

The soldiers were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

In fact, the action to kill Zhang Ju had been brewing for a long time, but because Lin Mu was busy and the divine capital Luoyang was in chaos, it had never been carried out. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne and all things are renewed, it is time to perform a great deed and congratulate the new emperor on his ascension to the throne!

"Soldiers, drink! Eat meat!!!" Lin Mu didn't give a long speech and went straight to the point.

The soldiers were overjoyed and began to sit down, pick up their bowls, and start drinking and eating meat.

However, Lin Mu did not drink with Shangong and the others. He held a wine bowl and a wine jar, and mingled among all the soldiers, clinking glasses with everyone, chatting and laughing with them. He was very friendly.

Soldiers who had been with Lin Mu for a long time knew that this situation was very common. Lin Mu was very amiable and approachable. What they admired most was that Lin Mu was also very brave. Many generals felt ashamed of themselves.

The news that Lin Mu appeared in Youzhou spread immediately, and many rumors were self-defeating.

The first person to panic was none other than Zhang Ju.

With the support of the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes on the grassland, he declared himself king and wanted to march south with the Xianbei and other tribes to the Han Dynasty and establish his own regime in Youzhou.

Unfortunately, due to the existence of the National Protection Army and the National Defense Army, this goal has never been achieved.

Lin Mu's reputation is even greater than Li Dian's.

Now, General Lin Mu of the Wei State has appeared, and he has also raised a flag and spread the news that he is here to wipe out the rebel Zhang Ju!

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire North was instantly in a panic.

Many of the players and aboriginals who had just joined the team were a little panicked. It was because Lin Mu's reputation was too great!

People are serious about this, so why are you still here... Just gain some reputation and complete some construction tasks, but you can't risk your life.

Just now, when Lin Mu was reviewing the troops, many middle and lower-level generals secretly left with their men...

In a side hall in the sacred capital Luoyang, Zhang Rang and the other ten eunuchs were discussing something.

This meeting was of a very high status. Even Zhao Zhong's adopted son Xu Ying was not qualified to come in and could only wait outside.

"Jian Shuo, are the troops in Xiyuan basically under our control?"

When Emperor Lingdi first went to carry out that mission, he entrusted Liu Xie to Jian Shuo. Jian Shuo originally supported Liu Xie, but Zhang Rangren compromised with He Jin and Empress Dowager He, which made him extremely dissatisfied.

Before this, he had wanted to kill He Jin and directly support Liu Xie to become emperor.

Even though he was dissatisfied, he was still a core figure in the circle of the Ten Eunuchs, and the interests of the circle were his interests. He nodded and said, "It's basically done. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are not a concern. I have secretly sidelined them."

"I know that you two have always wanted to support Prince Xie to become the emperor. He is young and ignorant and easy to control. But there are shackles in the palace and the Dragon Court after all." Zhang Rang looked at Jian Shuo whose expression changed, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes, and he said meaningfully.

"Everyone, I heard that a group of evil bandits appeared in Mengjin and other places. They burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil. They even occupied the land and wanted to develop. The butcher He Jin even asked Queen Mother He for permission to invite the army of Bingzhou to surround and kill these bandits." Zhao Zhong changed the subject.

"The real purpose is not to drink. They want to summon foreign troops to enter the capital. The target they are targeting is not the evil bandits, but us!!!" Zhang Rang was very vigilant and immediately thought of the key.

Now the sword and axe soldiers of the imperial army are all under their control, and the armies of the eight major commanders of Xiyuan are also basically under their control. He Jin's army is simply no match for them, and if they start a rebellion, they will surely fail.

So we need foreign aid.

"Hmph... If Lin Mu had been sensible, he would have ordered the National Protection Army to move south earlier. Even if they only came to the Sili border, they would have been able to intimidate them. But they directly rejected us and refused to pay tribute. They are traitors!" Guo Sheng snorted coldly.

"These are two of the things we're discussing today," Zhang Rang said slowly.

"Brother He Jin is getting anxious. However, he may not risk the world's disapproval and directly summon foreign troops to the capital. He will only use trickery to deceive us. We just need to not do what he wants." Zhao Zhong said in a deep voice. "Yes! Since there are rebels, why not let the Central Army Captain and the Commander Army Captain go out to encircle and suppress the evil thieves?" Sun Zhang suggested.

"No!" At this point, Song Dian immediately stood up and refuted.

"What I mean is, let the Central Army Captain Yuan Shao go. The Commander-in-Chief Cao Cao... and us..." Song Dian said meaningfully.

"One army is enough!"

"Yes, then just send one army." The others echoed.

Obviously, Cao Cao also has connections among the Ten Attendants!

Afterwards, the Ten Attendants continued to discuss "state affairs".

……

After drinking with the soldiers and enjoying the banquet, Lin Mu let the soldiers rest for two days. After the third day, they set out into the grassland.

And during this process, something took a turn for the better.

An urgent report arrived in Youzhou and reached Lin Mu.

After reading the urgent report, Lin Mu was overjoyed: "I didn't expect it to be like this! A godsend opportunity!!!"

"My lord, the time is right!!!" Cui Wu was also overjoyed after reading the military report.

"I didn't expect that Ding Yuan would send Gao Shun to do such a thing. It's such a pity." Lin Mu sighed.

"My lord, Gao Shun is not valued in Ding Yuan's army. He has been applying to him for resources to train new soldiers, but unfortunately he was rejected by Ding Yuan. Because they really don't have much resources and money for Gao Shun to build an army." Cui Wu said quietly.

Don't think that training soldiers is easy because there are so many soldiers in Lin Mu's Great Wilderness Territory. In fact, it is very difficult.

Resources, money and manpower are all indispensable.

The reason why Lin Mu was able to gather such a strong military force so quickly, besides the convenience of General Wei Guo and General Zheng Dong, was also due to looting!

That's right, looting!

If they simply relied on developing the territory and relying solely on Xu Bao and his chamber of commerce, it would be impossible to raise so many troops.

Lin Mu took advantage of his advantages and made money through various channels to meet his consumption.

Ding Yuan, Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others did not have those channels at all. Just Xu Bao's Chamber of Commerce was enough to crush them.

They basically rely on the support of the noble families and basic taxes to maintain their expenses. Before, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao did not have spare money to expand the army, but after going out with Lin Mu, they accumulated some capital.

Therefore, the troops previously commanded by Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others were all Ding Yuan's troops.

For example, Ding Yuan's army was equivalent to the Qingyang Army, and Ding Yuan was equivalent to Yu Jin. Under his command, there were several generals, one of whom was Zhang Yang, who was Ding Yuan's confidant. After that, there were Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, then Wei Xu and Hou Cheng, and then Gao Shun and others.

In other words, Gao Shun was just a military marquis-level figure under Ding Yuan.

To say that he values ​​him, he does, as he brings Gao Shun along to many important occasions. To say that he doesn't value him, he doesn't value him either, as he simply doesn't have the resources to train Gao Shun an exclusive type of soldier, the super soldier that makes everyone tremble with fear.

A good cook cannot cook without rice!!!

"Let's go to Mengjin!" Lin Mu said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"My lord, are we going to Sili? Otherwise, let Gongtu go. He and Gao Shun have met before and had tea together several times." Cui Wu said anxiously.

Gao Shun didn't like alcohol, and even though Dian Wei invited him many times, he refused. Later, after finding out about Gao Shun's hobbies, he could only invite him to have tea. Good guy, because they had met before in Bingzhou to resist the foreign race, Gao Shun did not refuse.

"No... This time, I want to make use of the relationship between Gao Jin and Gao Hai to completely recapture Gao Shun!!!" Lin Mu said in a serious tone.

After some understanding, it was found that Gao Shun was not completely under Lu Bu's command at this moment, that is to say, Gao Shun was not one of Lu Bu's eight generals.

The reason they were able to follow loyally was simply to resist foreign invaders.

Lin Mu and others had also tried to attack Gao Shun before, and the most direct and likely ones were Gao Jin, Gao Hai and others.

Lin Mu also didn't expect that this Gao family and that Gao family were from the same lineage!

When Lin Mu heard the news, he thought for a moment that this was one of the legacies Long Chu left him.

Afterwards, let the Night Shadow Legion and Dian Wei and others pay attention to Gao Shun and get close to him.

Lin Mu knew that if he wanted to recapture Gao Shun, he had to hurry. He had a hunch that if he really missed this time point, it might be extremely difficult to recruit Gao Shun!

Afterwards, Lin Mu took Cui Wu and others and quickly left Youzhou and rushed to Sili.

Gao Shun is currently in Sili, and is carrying out an action that goes against his will. (End of this chapter)
