Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

Upon hearing this resounding voice from heaven and earth, Kong Rong froze on the spot.

He never imagined that Qiao Mao would perish in such a short time!
Could it be that a third or even fourth party is lying in ambush nearby, waiting for Qiao Mao to get close so they can ambush him and then use special items to kill him?

As far as he knew, Qiao Mao possessed the means to resurrect. His complete demise meant that the opponent must have used special methods to prevent his resurrection!

The enemy came prepared!

Thinking of this, a chill suddenly rose up his spine.

A terrifying killing intent enveloped him!
"Roar!~~~~~" From the distant darkness came a series of ear-piercing dragon roars. The sound was like Qiao Mao's death cry…

"We must leave! Leave immediately!!" At this moment, Kong Rong no longer cared about the campaign against Dong Zhuo, nor about the Imperial Seal or the national treasury; he only wanted to return safely to Beihai!

Kong Rong turned around, ready to give the order. But at that moment, a piercing whistling sound rang out.

"call out!"

A rocket shot out from the darkness with a sharp whooshing sound, accurately hitting the ignition points that had been prepared in advance at the grain storage area.

"boom!"

Flames shot into the sky in an instant, illuminating half of the night sky.

"Fire! Fire!" Exclamations came from the open-air grain warehouse not far away.

The enemy is not only ambushing Qiao Mao, but also targeting him simultaneously?!
"Hiss!~~~~" Kong Rong gasped, as if a knife was already at his neck.

"Quickly! Anguo, quickly, gather the troops and prepare to evacuate!!!" At this moment, Kong Rong no longer cared about what had happened to Qiao Mao, nor did he summon troops to aid Qiao Mao.

Meanwhile, in the darkness, the ambushing men saw Kong Rong enter the central army camp and whispered, "The fish are in the trap, it's time to haul in the net!"

"Swoosh!!!" Then, a series of subtle cutting sounds rang out.

Then, the incident of burning the grain rations occurred...

"My lord, enemy attack!!!" Wu Anguo sensed the abnormality near the central army camp and shouted in a deep voice.

Wu Anguo's "enemy attack" does not refer to a distant attack, but rather that the enemy has stormed into the central army camp!

Kong Rong trembled as he sensed the oppressive killing intent that felt almost tangible.

"Forget everything else, cut your losses and survive! Abandon the unimportant and retreat quickly!!!" Kong Rong roared.

"Yes!" Wu Anguo's expression changed. He wanted to say something, but given the situation, this might be the best choice.

"Wenju, there's no need to rush back to Beihai." A familiar voice came from the darkness.

"It really is you, General Lin Mu, who wants to control Qingzhou!" Upon hearing this voice, Kong Rong's face changed drastically, turning ashen, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Tap tap!~~~~" Footsteps came from the darkness, and the next moment, Lin Mu walked out with several figures.

"Everyone says you are a loyal minister, but you are a treacherous villain disguised as a loyal one!!!"

"You, Lin Mu, are the most treacherous person, manipulating the court and the world!" Kong Rong roared in a low voice.

"Loyalty and treachery sometimes have no clear line. Everything I did before was beneficial to the land and the Han Dynasty!"

"You killed me for the sake of Qingzhou Beihai Kingdom, didn't you? Heh..."

"Even if you kill me, the Beihai Kingdom will rebel against you, and the powerful clans of Qingzhou will also come after you. Before I came here, I had already made preparations!"

"I know!" Lin Mu replied casually.

"You know? But..."

"I'm dealing with you for the sake of Qingzhou and the Beihai Kingdom."

"Lin Mu, Youzhou and Qingzhou are like a piece of poisonous dragon meat. If you swallow it, it will bring you utter destruction!" Kong Rong wanted to preach some profound principles.

"Of course I know it's poisonous. That Dong Zhuo wouldn't be so kind... but it's still dragon meat!" Lin Mu said in a deep voice, his eyes unwavering. "As long as I can withstand the poison, it will be mine!!!"

Upon hearing Lin Mu's words, Kong Rong's expression changed slightly. Lin Mu's words made perfect sense; in such chaotic times, it all boils down to one word: struggle!

“Your local powerful clans in Qingzhou, though obstacles, are also useful individuals. I don’t want to use the bloody sword against you… but if there’s really no other way, why don’t I become the butcher myself!” Lin Mu said meaningfully.

"Alright, that's enough," Lin Mu said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing Lin Mu's words, Kong Rong was once again jolted. Was his life about to come to an end...?

"There will be another chance to explain later." Just then, Lin Mu's words rang out again, but what did those words mean...?

Before he could fully grasp the meaning of those words, a sharp pain shot through his neck, and the next moment, he felt dizzy and disoriented...

"My lord!!!" In the last moment before the world was plunged into darkness, he heard Wu Anguo's roar.

Suddenly, a burly, bear-like figure appeared behind Kong Rong and gently lifted the unconscious Kong Rong.

"Buzz!!!" Just then, a mysterious aura emerged from Wu Anguo's body.

"You shouldn't go over there!" Just as Wu Anguo was preparing to go to rescue Kong Rong, an unfamiliar voice rang in his ear.

He suddenly turned around and swung his weapon to strike.

But the next moment, he only felt a sharp pain as the person behind him kicked him away.

The person behind them revealed himself; it was none other than Taishi Ci.

After that, Taishi Ci sped away like lightning, intending to overthrow Wu'an Kingdom.

With Lord Kong Rong knocked unconscious and the top general Wu Anguo blasted away, the situation has plummeted to rock bottom!
"Lin Mu, you can't kill Kong Rong! Otherwise you will face an even greater disaster!" Just then, a figure stepped out from the crowd, his face pale.

"Who are you?" Lin Mu asked in a deep voice.

As they were talking, Dian Wei had already brought Kong Rong to Lin Mu's side.

"My name is Sun Shao, also known as Sun Changxu, and I am a clerk in the Beihai Palace," the speaker introduced himself politely, bowing with his hands clasped.

Lin Mu was startled when he heard the man's name.

Sun Shao and Sun Changxu were the first prime ministers of the Wu Kingdom, one of the Three Kingdoms, after its establishment.
He surpassed Zhang Zhao, Teng Yin, Yin Li, and others, and was promoted by Sun Quan to be the first prime minister, which is quite impressive.

I never expected this guy to come with Kong Rong to oppose Dong Zhuo!

This guy hadn't been with Kong Rong at all before; during the meeting, he only saw Wu Anguo and didn't see any other famous figures.

“Yangzhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou are all bordered by other prefectures and counties on all sides, and they face great pressure. After the lords return to their respective territories, they will definitely deal with you. If you kill Kong Rong now, you will offend the Kong family and even more Confucian scholars, and the pressure you face will increase tenfold!” Sun Shao said sincerely, cupping his hands.

"Boom! Boom!" While Sun Shao was speaking, Taishi Ci had already begun fighting with Wu Anguo.

The continuous roaring sounds echoed in everyone's ears, as if pounding on their hearts.

Outside, the agonizing screams and wails never stopped...

All of Kong Rong's generals were here, and there was no one to lead the army in rebellion...

If this continues, we'll definitely run out of resources!

"Of course I know, but I won't kill Kong Rong. Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, I won't kill you either. Once I've achieved my goal, I'll let you all leave!" Lin Mu promised loudly.

"Whoosh!~~~~" Just then, a series of whooshing sounds came from the air, and soon, dark figures appeared all around, surrounding them! Lin Mu's men had already taken control of the situation... They were now like meat on a chopping board, at Lin Mu's mercy!

"I hope General Lin Mu will keep his word!" Sun Shao sighed softly.

"General Zong, General Wang, are you willing to cooperate?" Lin Mu asked meaningfully, looking at the two figures in the crowd.

General Zong refers to Zong Bao, and General Wang refers to Wang Xiu and Wang Shuzhi!

Wang Xiu had the best record among the others, saving Kong Rong from being besieged on several occasions.

Both men were generals under Kong Rong and were also well-known historical figures.

Originally, Kong Rong had another great general under his command, Taishi Ci. But now Taishi Ci is suppressing Wu Anguo!
This time, in capturing Kong Rong, they also captured four famous generals and scholars!

“General Lin Mu has always been known as a man of his word, we will cooperate!” Wang Xiu stepped forward and replied.

"How many men did you send for this raid?" Wang Xiu asked quickly.

"Just one legion of 200,000 men and these few thousand men in black," Lin Mu said calmly.

The others were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief. Such a small number of people had managed to get nearly a million of their soldiers to surrender?!

"And those who attacked Lord Kong?" Wang Xiu asked again.

“There is only one legion… They are just holding off Kong Zhou to ensure that this place is safe!” Lin Mu confessed.

Kong Zhou originally had a plan, but the other main character, Gongsun Zan, chickened out and left long ago, so the plan was shelved.

Hearing Lin Mu's confession, everyone else felt incredibly ashamed. He had only mobilized 400,000 troops, yet he had thrown two warlords' nearly 2.5 million troops into chaos… and even captured one of them! It was truly humiliating!

"They've been lying in ambush here all along?" Wang Xiu asked, unwilling to give up.

"Yes!" Lin Mu still respected Wang Xiu and answered all his questions.

"But weren't you and hundreds of thousands of troops collecting meteorites inside the palace?" Wang Xiu asked a crucial question.

"They're all hidden inside the mobile troop bunkers! None of them have been summoned..." Lin Mu said calmly.

His words were like a sword piercing their hearts.

Murder and kill!
Lin Mu had hundreds of thousands of troops left but he still managed to defeat them... He really has no face to face the elders and folks of Beihai...

"Alright, let's get moving." Lin Mu clapped his hands and said.

"Ceasefire! Ceasefire!!!" Wang Xiu shouted loudly, a hint of shame in his voice.

Then, a series of peculiar drumbeats rang out.

The entire camp began to quiet down.

The enemy ceased fighting, and the soldiers of the Nine Suns Legion also ceased fighting and began to retreat, subtly surrounding them.

Subsequently, under the urging of Dian Wei and others, and with the cooperation of Wang Xiu and others, more than 800,000 soldiers were captured.

Each soldier carried provisions and, escorted by ordinary soldiers summoned by Lin Mu, disappeared into the darkness.

Kong Rong's camp was quickly emptied while he was unconscious...

……

Go back in time a little.

The sudden system announcement of Qiao Mao's death was like a thunderclap from the heavens, booming through the silent night sky and clearly reaching the ears of every lord and his core generals.

Upon hearing the announcement, Qiao Mao, the general who was directing his army to resist the attack of Liu Dai's deputy general, suddenly froze, his face showing disbelief.

Their lord, Qiao Mao, is dead? How could that be! Shouldn't Lord Qiao Mao be on his way back to camp? Was he assassinated?!
Meanwhile, a portion of Qiao Mao's reinforcements, who had just arrived at their own camp and were about to order their troops to gather and attack Liu Dai's assault camp, heard the announcement. They were struck dumb, as if by lightning.

After learning that Liu Dai had stormed the camp and seized grain, Lord Qiao Mao ordered a large portion of the army to rush back to provide support, while Lord Qiao Mao himself led only a small force slowly toward the camp...

But when he turned around, his lord Qiao Mao was gone...

"The enemy must have known we were speeding to come to our aid, which is why they let us through. Their real elite troops are actually lying in ambush along the way!" The general who came to our aid had already figured out the key point.

"General Chen, what do we do now? Our lord is dead, what... what do we do?"

With Qiao Mao gone, the leader was gone, and the morale of his more than one million soldiers plummeted, their future uncertain...

"Your lord Qiao Mao is dead! Surrender and you will not be killed! Surrender and you will not be killed!!!" Just then, a loud shout came from Liu Dai's army.

Immediately afterward, his soldiers joined in the shouting, and the battlefield, which had been silenced by the announcement, became noisy again.

"Surrender and you won't be killed, hehe... If we surrender, Liu Dai will immediately purge us generals. Brothers, follow me, kill! Kill them all! Avenge our lord Qiao Mao!!!" Just then, a familiar voice rang out on the battlefield.

"Kill! Kill!!!!!" This shout seemed to ignite the fighting spirit of Qiao Mao's army, and the deafening battle cries echoed through the sky.

"Po Lu Camp, Huang Hai!!!" However, some of Qiao Mao's generals recognized the voice as belonging to someone else.

The culprit who started this war was Huang Hai, the general of the Po Lu Camp!

This guy led the Polu Camp to attack Liu Dai's camp and plunder his supplies, which made Liu Dai desperate and retaliate.

"Gentlemen, it's time to choose sides. Why don't you follow me and join General Lin Mu of Weiguo?" Just then, Huang Hai's voice rang in the ears of Qiao Mao's several deputy generals.

"Hiss!~~~~" Upon hearing Huang Hai's words, they all gasped.

It turns out that the mastermind behind everything was General Wei, Lin Mu!
"Huang Ziyu, how dare you betray your lord so early! You treacherous bastard!" a deputy general named Qiao Mao shouted in a low voice.

"Betraying our lord so early, heh... I am the eighth deputy commander of the Night Shadow Legion under General Lin Mu, how could I be accused of betrayal!" Huang Hai's voice rang out again.

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped again!

It turns out that my former comrades were actually spies planted by Lin Mu all along. How terrifying!

"Gentlemen, the situation is already like this. Loyalty to Qiao Mao won't change anything. Why not abandon the darkness and seek another way out?"

"Your troops have rendered a great service by joining General Lin Mu's forces. Wealth and glory will be within your grasp," Huang Hai continued to tempt them.

Upon hearing this, everyone calmed down and thought about it, and it was indeed as Huang Hai had said.

With their leader Qiao Mao gone, where will they go? ... They might as well find a wise ruler to rely on!

Afterwards, Huang Hai revealed some of the benefits of the Great Wilderness Territory, continuing to tempt everyone.

Those who had hope even in dire straits were actually persuaded by him.

Of course, there were also some who were very loyal to Qiao Mao and were prepared to lead their troops to fight Liu Dai to the death to avenge Qiao Mao.

The others did not stop these people from doing their thing; instead, they tried to hold Liu Daijun back, which actually made it easier for them to escape.

Afterwards, the reinforcements continued to attack Liu Dai's army. Under the combined attack, Liu Dai's army, which was not strong and was much smaller in number, collapsed and fled in all directions.

After dealing with Liu Dai's besieging troops, Qiao Mao's troops went directly into the main camp, transported the grain and all the supplies, and left the camp, disappearing into the night along with Huang Hai.

The soldiers who followed Qiao Mao, along with some who continued to avenge him, were all killed by Liu Dai at noon the following day… (End of Chapter)
