Chapter 2692 The Actions of the Alien Race

"What a pity... I thought it would be easier, and that it would inspire the feudal lords to fight against the foreign tribes, and at least five million troops would be sent over... I didn't expect that there would only be nine hundred and eighty thousand..." Lin Mu sighed inwardly.

What chilled Lin Mu even more was that Gongsun Zan, who was originally from a background of fighting against foreign tribes, completely ignored the matter...

The last conflict had somehow destroyed all their friendships...

In fact, Lin Mu knew that there must be some people stirring up trouble behind the scenes, such as Li Ru, Yuan Shao, etc. ... and even some players would try to sow discord.

They all want to isolate Lin Mu!

In particular, Lin Mu's position at the top of the list of feudal lords has aroused many people's ulterior motives.

Gongsun Zan, perhaps sensing Lin Mu's ambition and realizing that Lin Mu was not such a simple person, dared not develop a deeper relationship with him...

Lin Mu had actually contacted Gongsun Zan secretly, and he had explained the arrangements for the governor of Youzhou in detail, but unfortunately, he received no response. Gongsun Zan had deliberately cut off all contact with him.

Yuan Shao and the others were worried that Gongsun Zan was Lin Mu's man, but there was no need to worry, as Gongsun Zan was an independent warlord!

There are also rumors that Lin Mu stole Zhao Yun, Gongsun Zan's beloved general... As the saying goes, the bigger the tree, the more the wind blows!
Upon hearing that Lin Mu had deployed 400,000 troops to support the northern resistance against the foreign tribes, even Liu Bei, whose forces were at the bottom of the rank, had an idea: Lin Mu currently only had 200,000 troops, and if they surrounded him, they might be able to kill him!

Lin Mu's troops are mostly in Youzhou, with some in Yangzhou and Qingzhou. They are very scattered. Although the territory is large, they are like a pile of loose sand and have little resistance. Therefore, they can be easily defeated!
A murderous intent rose in the hearts of many!
Lin Mu, at the eye of the storm, could not help but sense that faint killing intent... but he remained calm and composed.

Seeing Lin Mu suffer a setback, Yuan Shao, Wei Zhongdao, and the others were overjoyed. Their true enemy was Lin Mu, not the foreign tribes.

The alien races are just fleeting figures, while Lin Mu is the real threat!
"Gentlemen, time is of the essence. I hope you will continue to raise more grain and provisions, and we must march on Sishui Pass and advance on Luoyang in the latter half of the year to take Dong Zhuo's head and celebrate the New Year!" After a moment of contemplation, Yuan Shao stepped forward and said.

The matter of the alien race was dealt with so simply and hastily...

This situation was also unbelievable to the players behind, such as Ji Beiqin, Jiang Chenglong, and Xuan Yuan Changying.

At present, the threat from foreign tribes is the most important. Dong Zhuo is in Luoyang and won't run away, so what's there to be afraid of? Wouldn't it be better to eliminate the foreign tribes first, and then take advantage of the situation to attack Dong Zhuo from the north and south?

With over 30 million troops barely moving, why would they make any rash moves? However, despite the alien invasion, many players still headed north to resist. Some players who didn't want to get involved in Dong Zhuo's mess, or lords who felt they wouldn't profit from it, led their troops north to seek their own gains.

After a period of development, supported by resources from two raids on the Japanese region and one raid on the American region, many player lords have experienced rapid growth. Mid-to-low-level player lords are now comparable to mid-to-high-level player lords in other regions. Although they still lag behind the formidable alien cavalry, players skilled in various schemes and tricks will definitely give the aliens a good beating.

Lin Mu also used his authority as General Weiguo to issue numerous tasks, which Cui Lin was tasked with arranging and executing.

It was only with the support of various parties that he did not personally resist the foreign invaders. He knew that even without the support of Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, and others, this invasion would only pose a minor threat. Perhaps the other warlords thought the same way, which is why they did not take it seriously.

However, Lin Mu had not expected, nor had some of the feudal lords, that the damage caused by this alien invasion would exceed their expectations...

"Gentlemen, next we will discuss the second route of attack." Yuan Shao began to return to the topic of the meeting.

Besides currying favor with Bao Xin, praising Sun Jian, and belittling Lin Mu, this meeting also focused on urging for supplies and discussing attack routes.

Fearing that spies might report the allied forces' marching routes to Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao did not reveal all the attack routes.

This led the other warlords to believe that Bao Xin's previous actions were indeed arranged by Yuan Shao.

"The second route of attack was chosen to be Zhongmu City, followed by Xingyang City, at the junction of Huijun and Sishui Pass."

"This route is determined to capture cities and strongholds, and wipe out all of Dong Zhuo's henchmen along the way. Is there anyone willing to serve as the vanguard general for this route?" Yuan Shao shouted.

Lin Mu remained silent upon hearing this. Based on his past life's experience and Dong Zhuo's current troop deployment, this route was the toughest nut to crack.

Xu Rong was stationed in Xingyang City, and Zhang Liao was stationed in Zhongmu City.

Neither of them are currently well-known among the warlords, but they are considered extremely difficult generals by the players.

"What's wrong, Vice Alliance Leader Lin? Why aren't you fighting for the vanguard this time? Have you chickened out?"

"General Bao Zhong, who sacrificed his life for righteousness, also led 200,000 troops deep into the enemy camp to attack, regardless of the danger. You don't have that kind of courage?" Yuan Shao turned his attention to Lin Mu.

"Of course I have courage. I am not afraid of millions of foreign tribes, so why should I be afraid of Dong Zhuo's mere subordinates..."

"I just didn't expect that out of more than 30 million troops, I could only use 200,000 of them. Are the rest of the troops just shrimp soldiers and crab generals?" Lin Mu retorted without any regard for the reactions of others.

It was practically a shout: I'm not saying Yuan Shao is trash, I'm saying everyone here is trash!

Upon hearing this, the others' expressions changed slightly. Lin Mu's words had truly struck a nerve with them, but everyone was thick-skinned and remained silent. "No need for so much talk, this general is willing to go!" At this moment, Gongsun Zan finally stepped forward.

Whether out of guilt or something else, Gongsun Zan didn't even glance at Lin Mu.

"Good, General Gongsun Zan, you're much better than some other guy. He says he has courage, but that's just empty talk!" Yuan Shao didn't say anything, but Yuan Shu stepped forward to mock Lin Mu.

Good grief, these two brothers are taking turns going on stage...

Lin Mu ignored Yuan Shu and instead quietly watched Gongsun Zan.

Yuan Shao went down to toast Sun Jian and Gongsun Zan, praising their courage.

Afterwards, it was thought that other routes would be announced, but it was found that Yuan Shao did not mention any other plans.

You should know that the other dozen or so lords are just bored out of their minds inside and outside Suanzao City... The amount of grain they consume every day is astronomical, yet they are still dragging their feet... Even if there isn't enough grain to reach the city, they can march ahead and transport the grain later.

As for Dong Zhuo's forces raiding the grain supplies, that's even more impossible. Let one of the warlords lie in ambush behind them, and once Dong Zhuo's men leave the city, wouldn't that be a great achievement?

Watching everyone's performance, Lin Mu, who was in the middle of it all, felt that this alliance was a joke.

After that, this so-called emergency meeting came to an end...

The feudal lords, who thought they were still waiting for supplies, received terrible news instead of supplies arriving!
During another meeting of the feudal lords, Lin Mu, who was strategizing and discussing countermeasures with Yuan Shao and his allies, felt a vibration on his communication system panel. Ji Beiqin had sent him a message.

He looked down at Ji Beiqin with a puzzled expression and found that Ji Beiqin's face was full of anxiety.

Lin Mu opened it and his expression changed slightly.

Three million foreign tribes had already crossed Yanmen and Taiyuan prefectures and were heading straight for the Zhanxian city pass in Shangdang prefecture.

Currently, the pass of Zhanxian County has been captured.

In other words, three million foreign cavalrymen have already invaded Shangdang County!
This situation shocked Lin Mu. There was only one reason why three million alien races would move south so quickly: none of the cities along the way put up a resistance!

That's right. As the governor of Taiyuan Commandery, Ji Beiqin has no control over the counties below him. All those counties are still under Dong Zhuo's control!
Dong Zhuo let the foreign cavalry in directly!

Not only that, but new information came through the communication system. The message was from Ning Xinhua:

"Boss, Wang Can sent me a message that a million foreign cavalrymen have marched from Yanmen County to Dai County and suddenly appeared in the Youzhou area. They are currently attacking the strategically important city of Gaoliu!"

Upon seeing Ning Xinhua's news, Lin Mu's pupils constricted sharply.

Is this the grand gift Li Ru spoke of?!

Previously, Li Ru secretly came to his camp in Suanzao City, intending to have Lin Mu sabotage the campaign against Dong Zhuo.

One million foreign cavalry attacked Youzhou to tie down Youzhou's troops, while three million attacked Shangdang County and Sili, bringing calamity to the world.

"Alliance Leader! Alliance Leader!!!" Ji Beiqin, who was at the bottom of the Heaven and Earth Lords Ranking, couldn't hold back any longer and jumped out to shout.

"Breaking news! Three million alien cavalry have bypassed Yanmen and Taiyuan prefectures and appeared in Shangdang prefecture, only half a prefecture away from Sili!!!" Ji Beiqin immediately reported this bombshell news.

Good heavens, they just dealt with it half-heartedly, and then this happened. Isn't this a huge slap in the face to their leader, Yuan Shao?
When Wei Zhongdao, the governor of Shangdang Commandery, heard the news, he was shocked and his face turned extremely ugly.

"Lin Mu, did you let the alien race in?" Wei Zhongdao's first reaction was not to return to rescue or ask for help, but to accuse Lin Mu.

When Lin Mu heard Wei Zhongdao's idiotic question, he glanced at him indifferently, without even replying, showing his contempt.

For a foreign tribe to penetrate so quickly into the Han Dynasty, there must have been traitors helping them. It was either Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shao, need I say more?

However, after a moment's thought, a guess suddenly popped into Lin Mu's mind.

Wei Zhongdao was not a fool; on the contrary, he was quite clever. His immediate questioning must have had a deeper meaning… perhaps…

Sure enough, the next moment, Yuan Shao's voice rang out: "Vice Alliance Leader Lin, the foreign tribes have moved so swiftly into our heartland, they must have the assistance of our inner court. Will you provide any help?"

"Heh...Reporting to the Alliance Leader, this general would never collude with foreign tribes." Lin Mu sneered, quietly watching Yuan Shao's performance. Next, he would definitely have to present evidence...
