Chapter 2694 The Gods Move Unusually, and the Divine Land Faces a Crisis

Cao Cao finally understood that Yuan Shao was simply deceiving him. The imperial edict in his hand was utterly useless!

What Lin Mu just mentioned about Yuan Shao's letters to the foreign tribes might also be true. The foreign tribes want internal strife within the allied forces!

Although Cao Cao also wanted to see Lin Mu fall, he would not allow internal strife within the alliance; he truly wanted to kill Dong Zhuo!
Therefore, he had to mediate and prevent the fire from burning any further.

That Yuan Shao guy is really something. Next time you do something like this, can you take him along?

We won't make things worse!
"Gentlemen, the matter of the foreign tribes is over. The most urgent task now is to deal with the three million foreign tribes in Shangdang County, not to deal with internal strife. Even if we want to investigate, we should wait until we have annihilated the foreign tribes before bringing it up."

"Also, how about letting General Lin Mu redeem himself by leading troops to resist the foreign tribes?"

"Cao Mengde, Lin Mu is colluding with foreign tribes, and you still want him to resist! Wouldn't that give him the chance to join the foreign tribes in storming into Luoyang, killing the emperor, and declaring himself emperor?!" Yuan Shu was better off not saying anything, because once he started, he was throwing down a bombshell.

Could someone casually utter the words "kill the emperor and establish himself as emperor"?
Ji Beiqin, Jiang Chenglong, and the others felt that Yuan Shu had gone too far when they heard his words. However, Yuan Shu was also a straightforward man; after all, he dared to do such a thing, and he actually did it!
Yuan Shu was an honest man!

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and the others stared blankly at Yuan Shu, as if they knew they had said the wrong thing. Yuan Shu snorted coldly and fell silent, not continuing to argue.

"Mengde, the foreign tribes have penetrated deep into Shangdang County, and it will be difficult to eliminate them in the short term. We will need a large number of troops to deal with them."

"Currently, the alien race has also dispatched a portion of its forces to invade Youzhou, thus containing the National Protection Army and the National Defense Army. At the same time, alien troops have also appeared on the northwestern border of Youzhou, ready to invade at any time."

"The current army is being held back by a portion of the foreign tribes remaining in Yanmen County, and I no longer have enough troops to go to Shangdang County," Lin Mu told Cao Cao in a deep voice.

Unlike the despicable Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was more sensible and understood the bigger picture. He was truly determined to fight Dong Zhuo to the death, and he also put considerable effort into dealing with the foreign tribes. However, there are priorities; at the moment, Cao Cao's greatest fear was not the foreign tribes, but Dong Zhuo!

In fact, the Great Wilderness Territory already had a plan to deal with the alien races; the Great Wilderness Territory wanted to swallow all six million alien races!
I never expected that Li Ru, Yuan Shao and others would be so shameless... allowing the alien races to go beyond the Great Wilderness territory's calculations!

Near Shangdang County, only Xu Huang and his group were present. In order to deal with Dong Zhuo later, they could not be exposed.

In other words, these three million alien races are temporarily outside the Great Wilderness Territory's calculations and cannot be surrounded and killed.

……

While Lin Mu and Yuan Shao were facing off, dozens of beams of light and shadow converged in a mysterious space.

The light and shadow were very blurry, making it impossible to see anything clearly; only the sound could be heard.

"Gentlemen, the people of my faith have stormed into Shangdang County, and the first strike has been delivered!" a figure of light and shadow proclaimed.

"They completed the first step so easily... That Li Ru from China really dares to sell out... Our performance in Japan this time was quite impressive, wasn't it..." A voice that Ji Beiqin could easily recognize rang out.

"Tsk tsk... The people of Shenzhou are good at internal strife. They think they've made a fortune, but they're just risking Shenzhou's resources."

"China is a barren land of faith, inhabited only by barbarians."

"You are all masters of the divine path, so it is only natural for you to unite against the Great Han Dynasty." A voice slowly rang out.

"The profound heritage of China will be the stepping stone for all of you deities to reach higher levels..."

"Hehe... Now that Kangzhuang Divine Path is ahead, can your Buddhist Kingdom begin its operation?" a figure of light and shadow said meaningfully.

"Hmph... Our Buddhist Kingdom has long been preparing for the invasion of China. The teleportation channels have been solidified, and our army will set off to invade China on a chosen day. At present, we are only wary of the divine general guarding the land, and we do not yet have a good way to kill him, so we can only suppress him for the time being."

"Lord of the Gods of America, how are things on your side?"

"The army is ready, the teleportation array has been set up, and we can teleport there at any time."

"Alright, we'll attack from the west, the Buddhist Kingdom from the north, and America from the east. As for the Eastern Japan region... um, how's it going, Lord of the Eastern Japan region?"

"The teleportation channel is still forming. Our intrusion location is Yangzhou in the south, Lin Mu's base!" the voice announced.

"Lord of the Olympian Gods, how are things on your side?" "The coastline of Shenzhou, all the shipyards, and the inland lakes and rivers have all been handed over to us... Our naval army is ready for battle!"

"Good! Good! Good!! Hahaha! This time, we will definitely crush the power of the Divine Land, plunder their resources, and slaughter their people!!!"

"Gentlemen, I know your nations are undergoing dramatic changes, but you must persevere, hold on, and stabilize. Planning for the Central Plains and the Great Han Dynasty requires sincere cooperation; you must not resort to internal conspiracies and schemes to unite and destroy the Han!!"

"Let us unite and destroy the Han!"

"Let us unite and destroy the Han!"

"Let us unite and destroy the Han!"

"Let's unite and destroy Lin Mu!"

……

Lin Mu was unaware that the Divine Lord of the outer kingdoms was gathering a large army to bleed the Great Han Dynasty and the Divine Land dry!

After Cao Cao stepped in to ease the tension and Yuan Shu fell silent, the situation on the scene had already changed.

What's the point of Yuan Shao bluffing and surrounding this place with his army... Kill Lin Mu? Bullshit!
To dismiss someone is even more impossible... the imperial edict might even be forged...

However, Yuan Shao, who was keeping a close eye on Lin Mu, was also suffering in silence. The imperial edict was indeed genuine; Liu Hong, in order to restrain Lin Mu, had actually approached Yuan Wei and given him an edict to deal with Lin Mu. But this edict wasn't for Yuan Wei to eliminate dissidents; it would only be effective under specific circumstances, such as if Lin Mu signed a treaty with a foreign tribe and wreaked havoc on the Han Dynasty.

However, after not opening it for a long time, the imperial edict that I had been treasuring and thought was the trump card to deal with Lin Mu had become ineffective!
Although the imperial edict still exuded a faint aura of imperial authority, the font and the seal of the Imperial Seal had vanished...

That's right, the imperial edict has become blank! The power of the Han Dynasty has truly become a mere shell!

Although it was practically impossible to dismiss Lin Mu, they could have surrounded and killed him. Now that Cao Cao had stepped forward, they were wary of him.

"Benchu... the letter in Lin Mu's hand, is it real?" Cao Cao came to Yuan Shao's side and whispered.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao's body trembled slightly.

"I believe Ziyuan's words. I also believe you will not allow the foreign tribes to penetrate deep into the Central Plains. But the situation has changed, and we cannot afford internal strife," Cao Cao said earnestly.

"The army can no longer linger here; we must set off to attack Dong Zhuo!" Cao Cao transmitted his thoughts meaningfully.

"The supplies haven't arrived yet, let's wait a little longer!!!" Yuan Shao still used that same excuse.

In fact, the supplies had already arrived nearby and were under Yuan Shu's control. However, they felt it wasn't the right time...

They have already contacted senior officials in the court, secretly intending to turn Lü Bu against Dong Zhuo and use the same methods against him. Dong Zhuo's downfall is not far off!

Cao Cao knew Yuan Shao well and knew this was just an excuse. He was actually quite aware of the situation regarding supplies. The grain supplies from the wealthy clans of Yan and Yu provinces had already arrived; after all, he did have…connections with some of these wealthy families.

"Yuan Shao, Lin Mu is the sharpest weapon against Dong Zhuo; we cannot force him to leave. I have a plan..." Cao Cao continued to transmit his thoughts to Yuan Shao...

After a moment's hesitation, Yuan Shao snorted coldly, then ignored everyone else and left the scene...

That's right... After being advised by Cao Cao, he left so frankly, so directly, so childishly... without saying a word of politeness...

Like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu also snorted coldly and left without looking back.

Afterwards, Han Fu, Yuan Yi, and others who were close to Yuan Shao all left the scene...

A meeting targeting Lin Mu ended abruptly and inconclusively. This meeting was destined to yield no results!

However, on the second day, Gongsun Zan still broke camp and set off to attack Zhongmu City as the second vanguard general.
