Chapter 2639 Lin Mu De Gao Shun

When Dong Zhuo dominated the capital, he feared not the civil officials, but the military officials the most.

In particular, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song, who were outstanding in merit and military strategy, were veterans of many battles and had extremely rich battlefield experience, posing a great threat to Dong Zhuo.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo was already very dissatisfied with and even hated Lu Zhi and others, so they were even less likely to stay in the capital.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi and the other two lowered their heads and sighed softly. They had considered this possibility, hadn't they...? But to leave at this time, wouldn't that be considered desertion...?

"You three are pillars of the Han Dynasty and should not be easily destroyed. Leave Luoyang and go to the old capital, Chang'an, where there are troops. If you reorganize them, you may be able to deter Dong Zhuo," Wang Yun said, stepping forward to boost the morale of the three.

"I, Lu, will keep my body as it is and continue to serve the Dragon Court with all my might!" Lu Zhi nodded emphatically.

Afterwards, the three of them, along with their relatives, left the Yang residence and Luoyang under Yang Biao's arrangement.

A day and a night later, Li Jue, having received orders, led his troops to storm the Yang residence. After a heated exchange of words, Li Jue could only slink away in disgrace.

All the goals that Master Dong had instructed us to achieve have vanished!

As for Yang Biao, Wang Yun, and the others, he did not make things difficult for them...

Li Jue, having left the Yang residence, had no choice but to return and report the situation.

After reporting to Dong Zhuo, he was actually ordered to withdraw his troops and not harm Yang.

The Yang mansion, though large, also housed quite a few servants and guards, though not as many as the Yuan family, but about the same.

Dong Zhuo did not harm Lady Yang, but this was actually for the sake of his later plans.

Of course, there were many clans like the Yang clan that merely besieged without attacking, serving only as a deterrent. Conversely, many believed that Dong Zhuo, a descendant of the Yuan clan, actually ruthlessly attacked his own family.

In short, after three days and three nights, the entire capital city could no longer muster a resistance force of 500,000 men.

Whether they were officials or soldiers, or former subordinates of He Jin or He Miao, they were either eliminated or incorporated into the army. Dong Zhuo swiftly and decisively took control of the capital.

Upon hearing this series of intelligence reports, Yang Biao, who rarely left his house, now had a face ashen with gloom...

A series of actions showed that Dong Zhuo not only wanted to be a powerful minister, but his ambition to seize power over the country was obvious.

"Disloyal and unjust, how hateful Lü Bu!!" Yang Biao cursed bitterly as Lü Bu's image flashed through his mind.

If Lü Bu hadn't murdered his father, Ding Yuan would never have died. As far as he knew, Ding Yuan had a way to be resurrected, but for some reason it didn't work; perhaps Lü Bu had tampered with it.

Ding Yuan, a man of great talent, died such a pathetic death at the hands of Lü Bu, a disloyal and unjust man. It was so frustrating!
At this moment, the person Yang Biao called disloyal and unjust was also in distress.

“A man of noble stature like Lü would never be willing to be his adopted son. Wen Yuan, you don’t need to say anything more.”

In a camp of Bingzhou cavalry, Lü Bu's resolute voice echoed.

"Sigh..." Zhang Liao sighed heavily.

“Wen Yuan, why are you sighing… Now that we control the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, we have the final say in everything, isn’t that better…” Wei Xu said solemnly.

He was related to Lü Bu by marriage, and now that Lü Bu was the leader, his status naturally rose accordingly.

Moreover, Lü Bu said that Dong Zhuo's plan is for the whole country, and now that Dong Zhuo has taken control of the capital, the world is about to change. How much wealth and glory will he have in the future?
Now, Zhang Liao is making sarcastic remarks and criticizing Lü Bu, which is extremely rude.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao sighed heavily again, but said nothing more. He looked around and saw that Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Xu, and others all looked excited, as if they were all looking forward to a bright future…

Helpless, he completely withdrew his offer of advice.

"This annihilation of the major military camps in the western district has yielded rich rewards, which we will divide up later. As for the tribute to Lord Dong, just hand over forty percent," Lu Bu said arrogantly, glancing at the crowd.

"Fengxian is so domineering!!!" Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this.

The first wave of resources... oh no, it should be wealth and glory, has finally arrived!

Afterwards, everyone began to eat meat heartily and drink wine in large bowls, thoroughly enjoying themselves...

After the banquet ended, only Lü Bu and Zhang Liao remained in the tent.

"Wen Yuan, Yun Yue, are they really gone?" Lu Bu asked softly, his face flushed and his eyes closed. "They're gone... They didn't take a single soldier, not even a needle or thread, except for two thousand personal guards!" Zhang Liao sighed softly, his head bowed.

"Never mind, everyone has their own ambitions." Lü Bu still pretended to be indifferent.

He hadn't expected that killing Ding Yuan would result in losing such an important right-hand man. He was well aware of Gao Shun's abilities; he was far superior to the others. Only Zhang Liao and Gao Shun truly met his standards…

Now that Gao Shun has left, Zhang Liao has complaints... It's tough!

“Wen Yuan, I know the consequences of patricide, but for the sake of the future, I have no choice but to do it. Lin Mu's path to power also involved groveling before eunuchs like Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong. Now that we have such a high starting point, can't we go even further?!”

Unintentionally, Lü Bu brought up Lin Mu again. Lin Mu had actually deeply penetrated Lü Bu's heart and influenced him.

However, at this moment, Lu Bu was unaware that Gao Shun's ambition rested on Lin Mu, whom he cherished!

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao had a completely open and honest conversation that lasted all night. The next day, Zhang Liao seemed much more composed...

……

After a heated discussion in Yizhou Village, Lin Mu saw Guo Jia and the others off, refused Xu Rong and the others' request to meet, and did not go to see Ji Beiqin. Under the starry night, Lin Mu hurriedly used the Kun Stone to go to Luoyang, the capital.

"Speechless... There's no one here, yet they still come to ruin this mansion. Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo..." The place where Lin Mu appeared was the former site of General Wei's mansion.

The mansion is now in ruins; soldiers must have come and wreaked havoc.

"My lord!" At this moment, a dark figure suddenly appeared.

"Come on, take me to see Gao Shun!" Lin Mu said directly to the shadowy figure without saying much else.

"Yes!" The shadowy figure quickly led Lin Mu to a courtyard not far from General Wei's mansion under the cover of night.

Lin Mu strode into the courtyard and saw a person sitting alone under the starry night, drinking and looking sad.

"Yun Yue!" Lin Mu called out softly.

"General Lin has arrived..." Upon hearing this, Gao Shun immediately stood up, and the sorrowful expression on his face vanished instantly.

"Luoyang, the capital, is not a place to linger. You should leave. I'll have someone take you to Yangzhou so you can adjust your mind there first." Lin Mu didn't mention his previous promises or exchange pleasantries; he simply prepared to take Gao Shun away.

"My lord Lin... from now on, I, Gao, will rely on you." Although Lin Mu didn't say it, Gao Shun took the initiative to say it.

Ding Yuan was dead, so he kept his promise. In fact, if Lin Mu hadn't intervened, and Lü Bu had used the same method to persuade Zhang Liao, Gao Shun probably wouldn't have left the Bingzhou army so decisively.

"Yun Yue, having you is like a fish in water to me, my good fortune!" Lin Mu was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, grabbing Gao Shun's arm and saying excitedly.

The Great Wilderness Territory has not recruited any fierce generals or brilliant strategists for a long time, and Gao Shun is the general of the Divine Army that he has been longing for.

The only one with a high chance of being successfully recruited is Zhao Yun!

Now that Gao Shun had voluntarily submitted, Lin Mu began exchanging pleasantries.

"My lord, I still have two thousand personal guards. They are all loyal to me and are the backbone of the Divine Army. They cannot be lost."

“The capital is currently under lockdown, and Dong Zhuo’s army is conducting a large-scale manhunt for enemy troops. They might target us,” Gao Shun said solemnly.

"It's alright, I'll arrange for you to leave later," Lin Mu waved his hand dismissively.

How could Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu possibly be contained!
"Yun Yue, tell me and Chang Yinfengzhong what kind of soldiers you need. I will introduce Chang Yinfengzhong to you later."

"Yes, my lord," Gao Shun replied.

Upon hearing Gao Shun address him as "Lord," Lin Mu felt a surge of excitement and a sense of accomplishment.

Gao Shun has finally come into his lap!!!

When Ding Yuan died, Gao Shun submitted to him, while Dong Zhuo slaughtered his way across the land and dominated the capital. Both benefited!

This is exactly what is meant by: Lin Mu obtained Gao Shun, and Dong Zhuo dominated the capital!
