Chapter 2678 One Hundred and Seven Thousand Sacrifices

Besides saving food rations, consuming the youth warriors of a tribe can also weaken some ambitious tribes. Some tribal leaders might even deliberately let some tribes suffer heavy losses when raiding in the south, and then annex those tribes to strengthen themselves.

Chanyu Yufuluo had originally led his warriors south to join Yuan Shao in the campaign against Dong Zhuo, but a mysterious person came to him and offered him an irresistible deal: to unite with some of the foreign tribes of the Great Plains and invade the border.

Not only that, the mysterious man also agreed to cooperate as much as possible when they went south, and some cities would surrender to him directly, allowing him to penetrate deep into the heart of the Han Dynasty.

Providing food and weapons, official positions, and now even an inside agent—if this were true, it would be a windfall. After confirmation, it was indeed true, because the mastermind behind it all was none other than Dong Zhuo, the Chancellor of the Han Dynasty!

Now that he had such a powerful backer, he wouldn't hold back. Changing allegiances was a trivial matter!
Thus, Yufuluo became an inside agent for Dong Zhuo's camp within the allied forces.

He not only accepted benefits from Dong Zhuo's camp, but also from the Yuan family. He was trying to profit from both sides and almost overeat!

With no worries about the future, Hufred will have more things to consider and more things to pursue...

He planned to use this opportunity to greatly weaken the power of several large nearby tribes, then annex them to strengthen himself. Afterward, he would integrate the Southern Xiongnu, attack the Northern Xiongnu, unify the Xiongnu people in one fell swoop, and then subjugate parts of the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes, ultimately dominating the vast grasslands!
After that, they marched south to attack and defend the Han Dynasty.

Perhaps, he could dismantle this centuries-old dynasty in one fell swoop and create his own mighty dynasty!

The thought filled Hufro with elation, as if his grand ambition was already within reach.

The meeting in the camp only ended after a whole day of unrestrained revelry.

After everyone had left, Hufro did not rest, but went to the table and began to devise a plan.

This time, the person contacted was neither Li Ru nor Yuan Shao, but Dian Wei, the Protector General of the Great Han Dynasty!
That's right, he's going to cooperate with Dian Wei!

……

Lin Mu, who had just finished collecting the war supplies and some food looted from Suanzao and was preparing to use the Kun Stone to return to Shenlong Valley, received a message from Dian Wei.

When Lin Mu heard that Yufuluo wanted to cooperate with Dian Wei, a strange look appeared on his face.

However, upon closer reflection, it was within expectations.

On the vast grasslands, power struggles are common, with big fish eating small fish and large tribes annexing small tribes.

In order to break free from the constraints of their fathers, some offspring of large tribes would venture out on their own, thus forming smaller tribes, and so on, allowing them to thrive on the grasslands.

Lin Mu knew that Yufuluo was quite ambitious, or rather, all the Xiongnu Chanyus were ambitious, wanting to reunify the Xiongnu people, then attack the Han Dynasty in the south and establish their own dynasty.

It was also because of this ambition that the Xiongnu people were constantly engaged in internal wars.

Lin Mu didn't need much information to guess that if Yufuluo wanted to stir up trouble on the grasslands, he had to weaken the rival tribes, then annex them, quickly strengthen himself, and then annex even larger and more numerous tribes, using war to fuel war, and developing like a snowball.

If their scheme succeeds, it will pose a great threat to the borders of the Han Dynasty and even the entire Central Plains.

"We can allow Dian Wei to kill some of the foreign troops and achieve great merit. But Dian Wei and other Han generals must no longer obstruct their southward advance..."

As a general in charge of protecting the country and guarding the borders, Wei's cooperation with Yufuluo had a significant impact.

He quickly considered his options, as Dian Wei's decision was crucial and could potentially influence the campaign against Dong Zhuo...

Lin Mu had a premonition that if Yufuluo really influenced the feudal lords' campaign against Dong Zhuo, the consequences would definitely fall on the participants.

But if they don't participate, can Dian Wei and his group's presence really prevent the alien races from invading? If they participate, they can also find out the guys' route of advance and kill some of the alien races. Even if they are used as guns, so what? They can take care of as many alien races as they can.

Before Lin Mu could reply to Dian Wei, Guo Jia and the other two unanimously decided to have Dian Wei agree to cooperate with the foreign tribes.

However, this agreement only applies to Han generals currently stationed in Bingzhou; any subsequent Han generals providing support are not subject to this agreement.

After seeing the three men's decision, Lin Mu didn't think much of it and agreed to let Dian Wei establish a deeper connection with them to understand their true strategic direction.

Through a special means of communication, Dian Wei conveyed his ideas to the foreign tribes.

The alien race was also aware of the trap and gave a bargaining response: the National Protection Army and the National Defense Army must be restricted, and even if the National Protection Army and the National Defense Army appear on the battlefield, no figures of the god level or above can appear.

This response clearly indicates that they knew Dian Wei was someone Lin Mu knew. Their message wasn't intended for Dian Wei, but rather for Lin Mu!
This negotiation was actually quite similar to the previous negotiations with Yamata no Orochi.

Both sides are trying to get something from a tiger!
"The restriction that no divine generals can appear... no... this is one-sided, the alien races don't have this restriction... hehe, interesting..." Lin Mu sneered after seeing the response.

However, in the Great Wilderness Territory, even the deputy legion commanders have been promoted to the God rank, but the legion commanders and deputy legion commanders are nowhere to be seen. So who will lead the legion?
They are foreigners, with ulterior motives!
Not only are they using the Great Wilderness Territory as a tool, but they also want to make it a historical sinner!

During the invasion and plunder, those foreign tribes will definitely cause trouble. They might even create a mound of Han Chinese heads and then pin all the blame on General Lin Mu of Weiguo—that would be disgusting!

This plan definitely wasn't conceived by those alien races. The tactics are very familiar; Li Ru's methods are involved!
"Huh... what they sent us as a return gift was 1.7 million alien warriors... Hiss!!!~~~ Is this guy Yufuluo really that heartless?"

Based on the current visible military strength, the combined forces of the foreign tribes number only over six million. Losing more than 1.7 million troops at once would be a devastating blow, yet Yufuluo still sent them out, demonstrating the depth of his ambition!

More than 1.7 million alien soldiers—this huge pie is ours to eat!

"Cooperation agreed! The Qingyang Legion and Taishan Legion, which will arrive later, will be under the command of Zhongxuan and the others. Feng Xiaozhi will analyze the situation and routes for them as needed!"

Without Yu Jin and He Yuan's Qingyang Legion, and without Zang Ba and Liu Feng's Taishan Legion, their overall combat strength will be greatly weakened, but they will still be able to hold their own against the alien races.

"Zichen, go back to Shenlong Valley and retrieve the Zhenwu Totem and other items to give to Zhongxuan to deal with the enemy's divine generals!" Lin Mu sent his personal guard Cui Wu away.

Currently, Wang Can's strength is only at the peak of the Heaven Rank, and he has not yet broken through to the Divine Strategist level. However, with the foundation of the Great Wilderness Territory, it is enough for Wang Can to break through to the Life Origin Divine Strategist level, but he did not accelerate his growth, but wanted to continue to accumulate experience.

Wang Can has been a member of the Great Wilderness territory for quite some time. He started following Lin Mu when Lin Mu was still the General Who Conquers the East.

Over the years, Wang Can was entrusted with the supervision and command of the National Protection Army and the Defense Army, as well as the management of the general's office. Wang Can handled everything steadily and reliably, demonstrating exceptional ability.

"Yes, sir!" Cui Wu accepted the order and quickly left.

"Have the Night Shadow Legion begin surveillance in Yanmen County, Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, and other counties. We must keep track of the movements of all the alien races!" Lin Mu said in a deep voice.

Monitoring large alien forces on the vast grasslands is somewhat difficult because their presence is concealed by certain entities.

But once they entered the Han Dynasty, they lost that protection, and the Night Shadow Legion could be deployed to monitor them.

At the same time, he did not relax his surveillance on Dong Zhuo and Li Ru. Although many spies had been exposed, Lin Mu would not give up and continued to send Night Shadow Legion soldiers into Luoyang to closely monitor Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's movements.

Hmm... Dong Zhuo is still inside the imperial mausoleum, and Wu Ba and Wu Shizhou are also there.
