Chapter 2731 Team Up to Enter the Great Grassland
However, even though Sun Jian was forced to retreat from the walls of Hulao Pass, he still climbed the walls in a sense.

This news reached the Kwantung Allied Forces, who were still on their way, and greatly boosted their morale.

Lin Mu and Liu Bei also received this news. However, the official news was that Sun Jian led an army of 200,000 men in a desperate night attack on the city walls, causing the defenders to flee in disarray. However, due to a raid on the granary by the Xiliang army at the rear camp, he was forced to retreat to the main camp and abandon the capture of Hulao Pass.

In Liu Bei's tent, Lin Mu sat beside him. The other extraordinary lords sat in two rows. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not present.

Today's meeting is about Sun Jian's great victory over the garrison at Hulao Pass, and whether they should travel to Hulao Pass overnight.

Other lord players all expressed their desire to hurry to Hulao Pass, because the storyline of Sun Jian's crushing defeat was about to unfold. If they could appear at the crucial moment, they might be able to gain some face, or even, if they had the chance to take advantage of the situation, perhaps they could try to kill Sun Jian and the Four Divine Generals!

"How long will it take us to get to Sun Jian's place if we travel day and night?" Lin Mu, who had been mostly silent, suddenly asked.

“It will take four days,” Liu Bei replied immediately. He was extremely enthusiastic towards Lin Mu at this moment, responding to every request and ensuring that every matter was taken care of.

"Four days..." Lin Mu frowned slightly, pondering the key question.

He was pondering how long it would take for Sun Jian to be defeated by Hua Xiong...

According to the plot of the previous life, after Sun Jian attacked Hulao Pass, it seems that on the seventh day, when he ran out of ammunition and food and was preparing to retreat, he was ambushed and suffered a crushing defeat.

In other words, if they travel day and night, they can meet up with Sun Jian before he runs out of ammunition and food.

But can the camp's food supplies last? Lin Mu glanced thoughtfully at Liu Bei, then looked around at Jiang Chenglong, Zhu Xuan, and the others.

He always felt that there were other people involved in something behind the scenes that he didn't know about...

"Gentlemen, if we travel day and night, the soldiers will be exhausted. If Xu Rong attacks the camp again, how will we deal with it?" Ji Beiqin raised a crucial question.

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback.

Xu Rong's army is still roaming nearby. If they are caught off guard, what will happen to Liu Bei's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the player's millions of ordinary soldiers...?

"Boom!~~" Just then, a huge tremor suddenly came.

Soon, one of Liu Bei's messengers ran in to report.

It turned out that Lin Mu's light cavalry corps had returned!
Upon hearing the report, Liu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly, a dark look appearing on his face. A moment later, he opened them again, his face now full of joy. He exclaimed happily, "General Lin's elite troops have finally returned to camp! Our strength is now greater, and we no longer need to fear Xu Rong!"

Upon hearing Liu Bei's words, Lin Mu immediately understood that this guy wanted him to deal with Xu Rong.

However, he had a premonition that Xu Rong was no longer in this area!
"Great! The timing is perfect!" Lin Mu said happily.

"Gentlemen, you can rest assured and continue your journey ahead. I will lead my troops to cover your retreat. If Xu Rong comes to intercept us, we will attack from both sides and take his head to claim credit!" Lin Mu agreed to the suggestion of traveling day and night.

The others were slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Why had Lin Mu become so agreeable lately, so accommodating to their wishes?

"Gentlemen, you can discuss the detailed marching arrangements. I'll go and reorganize the troops first. I'll leave that scoundrel Xu Rong to me!" Lin Mu said, feigning great excitement.

Jiang Chenglong, Xuan Yuan Changying, and the others were all taken aback when they saw Lin Mu's excitement.

It turns out that Lin Mu's target was Xu Rong!

First it was Hu Zhen, now it's Xu Rong's turn... Lin Mu is using this campaign against Dong Zhuo to plunder famous generals like crazy!

They had this plan long ago, but unfortunately, their strength didn't allow it; they could only watch the stunning beauty in bed but couldn't get aroused...

As expected of Lin Mu, his sense of purpose remains as strong as ever.

After saying that, Lin Mu left the venue.

Lin Mu, who had just returned to his own tent from Liu Bei's camp, encountered Huang Zhong, who had just returned from Qingzhou.

"Hansheng!" Lin Mu stepped forward, took Huang Zhong's hands, and said kindly, "You've worked hard, making you travel back and forth."

"It's alright, it's my duty. It's a pity we didn't encounter any major enemies this time," Huang Zhong said with a slight smile.

Lin Mu patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder and said, "Although we didn't encounter any major enemies, your trip wasn't in vain."

“The fact that America has used this space anchor point proves that they have completely gone from the light to the shadows… I wonder if they will continue to invade? If they do, how much damage will the enemy cause without thorough preparation…” Huang Zhong said solemnly.

Clearly, Huang Zhong and others had also considered this issue.

"Let's not think about these things for now. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."

"Let's go back and talk about it." Lin Mu led Huang Zhong and Wang Yue back to his own tent.

Back in the camp, Huang Zhong explained the situation in Qingzhou in detail again. Afterwards, he inquired about the current situation.

When he heard that his lord Lin Mu had joined forces with Liu Bei to march into Sili, he was very puzzled.

"Liu Bei actually gave me something I couldn't refuse." Knowing Huang Zhong would do this, Lin Mu took out a strange ball of light from his pocket and said meaningfully.

"This item... a soul talisman of a famous historical general, it seems to be of legendary quality?" Huang Zhong asked uncertainly.

Because this ball of light is different from the soul charms of previous historical generals...

"This item is suitable for Huang Ying." Lin Mu tossed it lightly to Huang Zhong.

"This is a first-class historical general's soul talisman that can only be fused with by women. It is an innate object born from the Heavenly Dao." Before Lin Mu could explain, Wang Yue suddenly spoke up.

“That’s right, this item is extremely rare. I don’t even know if it’s the only one left…” Lin Mu said in a deep voice.

There were female generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms, but none of them were particularly outstanding. This was because they had inherent disadvantages, coupled with the constraints of conventional thinking, which prevented them from excelling.

"My lord!! This thing..." Huang Zhong felt its immense and wondrous power flowing through it, his face filled with shock. He had previously guessed it was legendary, but he hadn't expected it to be only first-rate, yet the intensity of its flowing energy was almost the same as legendary. No wonder.

"Huang Ying's contributions and hard work are evident to all, so there's no need to be polite," Lin Mu said, waving his hand.

Previously, Huang Zhong had always been by her side, and Huang Ying had been in charge of the Nine Yang Legion, which was very hard work. Her accumulated contribution points in the Great Wilderness were even higher than those of her father, Huang Zhong.

"On behalf of my daughter, I thank you for your grace, my lord!" Huang Zhongcheng bowed sincerely and expressed his gratitude.

Lin Mu waved his hand, then changed the subject, asking, "How are the soldiers of the Nine Suns Legion?"

"They look a little tired. They've been on guard against the enemy and traveling day and night lately," Huang Zhong said frankly without hiding anything.

He wouldn't fawn over his lord just because he had just received a great favor, regardless of the actual circumstances.

"Then let's rest for a day and a night," Lin Mu said, waving his hand.

"After that, we'll go on a counter-hunting expedition. Currently, Dong Zhuo has also dispatched quite a few Xiliang cavalrymen to loiter around the area, hunting down the Guandong coalition forces," Lin Mu said solemnly.

"Yes, sir!" Huang Zhong received the order and then went to make arrangements. "How long until Wenqian returns?" Lin Mu turned to ask Wang Yue.

Although Wang Yue was a bodyguard, he also took on the task of compiling intelligence reports.

"three days left."

"Currently, the alien tribes in Bingzhou are basically trapped; it's just a desperate struggle."

“But it’s a bit strange. They don’t seem to be in a hurry anymore, and in some ways they don’t seem to care much about life and death… In the past, the alien cavalry would just raid for a while and then leave…” Wang Yue said with a furrowed brow, pointing out an anomaly.

"Moreover, the various divine leaders have already been defeated, and there are several powerful forces in Bingzhou. The alien races should have retreated long ago..."

"This is a summary I made after thoroughly organizing the intelligence from that area and combining it with my own experience," Wang Yue said solemnly.

"What's your guess?" Lin Mu asked immediately.

"My lord, I suspect they have some other purpose, and they may even have a way to resurrect themselves!" Wang Yue guessed.

"According to historical records, aren't resurrection devices forbidden on the Great Grassland?" Lin Mu asked in a deep voice.

"Yes... because of the special nature of the grasslands, and because it is very strange there, there are many things that are lacking, among which the means of resurrection are the most important."

"According to historical records, the totem artifacts of the ancient grasslands were capable of reviving the grassland people. At that time, their power was extremely rampant. Many generations of people worked hard, but we don't know what price they paid or what they did, and they made the grasslands lack a lot of the power of rules."

"Of course, the most important and most conspicuous of them is the Great Wall."

"Unfortunately, with the disappearance of the Qin Empire, the Great Wall has lost 99% of its power, and now it only defends part of the border," Wang Yue lamented.

"Could it be that the treasure the alien race obtained from the Wei family is the resurrection artifact?" Lin Mu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he asked in a deep voice.

If the alien races possessed resurrection items, they could fight to the death against the Great Wilderness Territory...

With the resources of those divine lords, the troops stationed outside Youzhou in the Great Wilderness Territory might not be able to outlast them!

This is really bad!

"No, we can't be so passive! We have to think of a way..." Lin Mu is not a passive person; he prefers to be proactive.

"It seems we'll have to cooperate with Yuan Shao..." Lin Mu said meaningfully, thinking of Yan Liang and Wen Chou hiding in Bingzhou.

"Cooperate with Yuan Shao? Enter the grasslands to fight against the barbarians?" Wang Yue asked in a deep voice.

"Or should we assemble an elite squad and half-steal, half-rob resurrection items?" Wang Yue realized and asked quietly.

“The latter!” Lin Mu said with a smile.

“My lord, the Great Grasslands have considerable resources… Yuan Shao may have succeeded once before, but it won’t be so easy next time…” Wang Yue immediately said.

"Hehe... Of course, the two of us alone can't do it; we need to get some other help."

“Didn’t Li Ru give us a communication tool before? Let’s contact him too!” Lin Mu said with a mysterious smile.

Wang Yue was shocked upon hearing this... He hadn't expected that someone who was already an enemy on the chessboard would cooperate with him during the midst of their battle... How unconventional!

He really couldn't keep up with that kind of thinking.

For example, in their previous actions, even though they were very dangerous, they never considered joining forces with others to increase their resources before making any further plans.

"A resurrection artifact, doesn't Dong Zhuo want it? His desire for it is even greater than mine."

"Dong Zhuo dispatched most of the Xiliang cavalry because he had resurrection items that could wear down the Guandong coalition. Otherwise, he would have retreated to the cities long ago and dared to send Xu Rong to attack the camp."

"Moreover, Dong Zhuo actually hated the nomadic tribes of the grasslands. The reason why the nomadic tribes of Xiliang were in such a state was due to the suppression of the Han Dynasty and the suppression of the various tribes of the grasslands. Otherwise, they would have entered the grasslands long ago and become a distinct nomadic tribe!" Lin Mu said solemnly.

"Dong Zhuo will surely agree to this plan."

"Actually, I'm still considering whether to drag Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei into this..." Lin Mu said thoughtfully.

"Forget it, this guy doesn't seem reliable. Besides, if Dong Zhuo makes a move, he might send Lü Bu into battle. If the two sides meet, some unexpected things might happen," Lin Mu thought to himself.

After that, Lin Mu began making contacts... writing letters to Yuan Shao and contacting Li Ru...

The next morning, Lin Mu received responses from both sides.

Unsurprisingly, they both agreed.

Dong Zhuo's response actually had a follow-up, which concerned Hu Zhen. Dong Zhuo knew Hu Zhen was in his hands and wanted to ransom him!
Lin Mu, of course, refused, using the excuse that Hu Zhen had already been killed by Sun Jian and was no longer in his hands.

Later, Li Ru relayed Dong Zhuo's words, in which Dong Zhuo made some harsh remarks, saying that he would arrest his beloved general.

To be honest, Dong Zhuo's words really intimidated Lin Mu. He didn't believe that Dong Zhuo would speak without reason.

Although he appeared nonchalant on the surface, he was secretly on high alert and even contacted Yue Jin, who was on his way back, to remind them to be extra careful.

Yuan Shao's case went even more smoothly, as he seemed to have known all along that the barbarian tribes of the Great Plains had seized the resurrection artifact.

This further confirmed Lin Mu's suspicions about Wang Yue.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao secretly agreed to the proposal to form an elite team to enter the grasslands and seize the resurrection artifact.

Lin Mu, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, and others couldn't possibly have ventured deep into the grasslands. Only the great generals had gone there.

Next came the selection of military officers.

Lin Mu suggested that Dong Zhuo send out Lü Bu and others, while Yuan Shao would send out Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Dong Zhuo's side basically agreed, but Yuan Shao's side encountered a slight mishap, though not a bad one, but a good one, as Yuan Shao actually sent several strategists to join the team.

When Lin Mu heard the list, his lips twitched violently. The Xun family members had also gone...

However, he didn't say anything, and the three parties successfully finalized the plan on the same day.

"My lord, do you think Dong Zhuo's threat to capture your beloved general might be carried out during this operation?" Wang Yue offered his opinion after the three parties had finished their discussion.

"Hey, you know what, that's possible. But not during the process. It's more likely that they'll snatch the item back first, and then ambush us to steal the resurrection artifact."

"After all, we didn't discuss who should get the resurrection artifact! Everyone... was very in sync!!"

(I had something come up today, so this is only one update! I might have to take a day off tomorrow!)
