Chapter 2194 Changes in Great Wilderness Territory Strategy
After saying something softly in his heart, Lin Mu took the imperial edict again without saying a word.
Seeing Lin Mu's abnormal appearance, Zuo Feng felt a chill in his heart for some reason.
He always felt that this stranger who used to be smiling and generous seemed to have changed and become strange, and he couldn't see through it.
"The Holy Envoy traveled thousands of miles to deliver the imperial edict. Thank you for your hard work. I have already held a banquet for you, please!" After receiving the edict, Lin Mu slowly showed a familiar honest smile on his face.
Zuo Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Lin Mu is still the same Lin Mu as before, but he may have felt unhappy when he saw the imperial edict just now, so he reacted.
However, the anxiety in Zuo Feng's heart did not disappear, because in addition to the requirements of the imperial edict, His Majesty also had oral instructions.
This time, in addition to 80,000 high-quality war horses, an additional 50,000 war horses were required, as well as 50,000 sets of alien cavalry armor, 50,000 weapons, 5 million gold coins, and 20 million units of food.
Of course, this oral edict is very watery, because there are many eunuchs with interests in it.
Lin Mu had already reacted like that before he said this verbal instruction. If he said it out loud, Lin Mu might be even more angry.
Thinking of this, Zuo Feng glanced around with a guilty conscience and found that he was surrounded by Lin Mu's tiger soldiers, all looking at him as if they were tigers... You know, he didn't bring many people with him this time, he came in a hurry.
"General Lin, here is another copy of His Majesty's oral order..." After hesitating for a while, Zuo Feng still felt like saying it in front of everyone. After all, he was representing the emperor now. In full view of the public, even if Lin Mu was furious, he would not do anything excessive.
But if he spread it privately, he might not even be able to return to God City.
This is his intuition.
After a pause, Zuo Feng read out Liu Hong's oral instructions.
But as soon as this decree came out, the most excited person was not Lin Mu, but Xun Yu next to him. At this moment, his face was ashen, and the surging and majestic aura shook out, making everyone feel suffocated.
Lin Mu went on an expedition to Youzhou. The conditions were not difficult, but they were certainly not as comfortable as they were in the divine capital. But now, not only does it not support materials and military salaries, but it also demands huge amounts of resources, which is really too much.
However, neither Zuo Feng nor the emperor in Luoyang, the divine capital, felt that asking Lin Mu for those supplies was too much.
During the time when Lin Mu entered the Longting system, he had been conscientious and dedicated to his duties. Even if it was an overseas expedition, a job that no one dared to take on, Lin Mu did it without any complaints, and he succeeded.
But when Lin Mu came back, he didn't say anything. He was so low-key that everyone seemed to have forgotten about him.
But what about those in charge... suspicion, suppression, and fear all came out.
Some people may think that this move is Liu Hong testing Lin Mu. But does Lin Mu still need to test it?
Many people, even Chi Long, knew that as long as His Majesty Liu Hong was in power, Lin Mu would never rebel. As long as Lin Mu does not rebel, he will be the hero of the Han Dynasty and the true general who governs the country.
But His Majesty, not only did he not support us, but he also exploited us, which is really chilling!
In the words of players, they are pig teammates!
At this moment, Xun Yu felt a sense of sadness and anger in his heart, not for Lin Mu, but for the Han Dynasty.
How stupid can one be to make such an extremely stupid operation?
Just when Xun Yu was about to say something, Lin Mu, who had expected it, took his hand and shook his head.
Lin Mu, on the other hand, looked indifferent, as if he was not surprised by this.
Immediately, Lin Mu glanced at Zuo Feng indifferently.
When Zuo Feng felt Lin Mu's eyes, a chill ran down his spine, as if he was being stared at by an ancient beast.
Lin Mu used to covet Zuo Feng's disappearance. But after going through so much, looking back, he found that the things he coveted were no longer worth mentioning in his eyes now.
Once upon a time, it was difficult to overcome the vast ocean!
At this time, what he meant by Zuo Feng was completely different.
In fact, when Lin Mu just heard the oral instructions, he was slightly shocked. Could this extremely ridiculous operation be a fake oral instruction created by the eunuch camp or the camp of relatives?
But when I think about Liu Hong doing a lot of ridiculous things, this oral instruction might really come from Liu Hong's mouth.
Speaking of trust, Liu Hong gave Lin Mu a lot of things. Those things were all valuable treasures and would be of great use in the future. But if you say you don't trust me, then you are exaggerating to ask for resources.
If it were Lu Zhi, Huang Fusong and others, Liu Hong would not have such excessive demands. On the contrary, he is one of his own and feels that this is not too much...
Luoyang, the capital of the gods, hoards so many resources, it’s useless!
Lin Mu had understood Liu Hong's approach before. He wanted to hoard resources through various methods to build a foundation for the young new master and consolidate the imperial power.
However, he never thought that these resources might be cheaper for Dong.
Reason told Lin Mu to give these resources to Liu Hong. Anyway, the Great Wilderness Territory has a layout of burying flowers and replacing trees. It's just that the left hand goes out and the right hand goes in.
But his pride told him that he couldn't compromise this time!
"No wonder Feng Xiaozhi and others refused to help me. Maybe they had anticipated such a situation and let me make my own decision." A thought suddenly flashed through Lin Mu's mind, and his heart moved.
"Perhaps, they also feel that if the situation behind Luoyang, the divine capital, is really bad enough to require everyone to evacuate, their attitude should change at this moment!" Lin Mu thought.
"We will discuss the imperial edict and His Majesty's oral instructions later. The Holy Envoy will go to have a meal first." Lin Mu smiled faintly at Zuo Feng.
"General Lin, Your Majesty asked me to go to the racecourse to check the horses, and then report back to the capital immediately. The general can transport the horses and supplies back to the capital later." Zuo Feng immediately waved his hand and declined Lin Mu's banquet. .
"Oh! That's right, that's good. Zichen, take the envoy to the foreign race's camp and have a look." Lin Mu did not refuse Zuo Feng's request, and went with the flow and agreed.
Zuo Feng was slightly happy when he heard this. I don't know why, but this time when I was with Lin Mu, I always felt a bit frightened.
It is safest to return to Shendu as soon as possible.
In fact, Liu Hong had no such request at all, it was just an excuse for him to return to Luoyang.
With a look of extreme anger, Cui Wu suppressed the urge to stab Zuo Feng to death and took him to the racecourse of the alien camp.
At this time, there were only about 100,000 horses in the racecourse of the alien camp. These war horses were more or less injured, or were frightened by the Qinghu and did not dare to move, so the Qingyang Army had not yet sent them away.
The other fine war horses that were intact had already been transported away and sent back to True Dragon City through the distance-free divine order teleportation array.
"Hiss!~~We really captured 100,000 war horses!" Zuo Feng was overjoyed when he saw the densely packed horses in the racecourse.
They asked for 130,000 war horses. They did not get them all at once. They allowed Lin Mu to slowly replenish them during the campaign to encircle and suppress the alien invading troops.
This time, 300,000 foreign troops died, and there are still 1.7 million left at the north gate... How many war horses will be needed? ! Maybe less...
Zuo Feng's little thoughts slowly grew again...
If Lin Mu knew that Zuo Feng would come up with such a ridiculous idea, he would probably shake his head and smile bitterly.
Liu Hong, Zhang Rang, etc., who have lived in the palace for a long time, do not understand this kind of human sophistication at all, and they all deal with things with a self-centered attitude.
Zuo Feng dared to ask Lu Zhi for benefits, and he dared to ask Lin Mu for benefits. Even during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many people in Lu Zhi's camp were filled with grief and anger and wanted to kill Zuo Feng, but in the end the fact was that Lu Zhi was demoted and Zuo Feng was safe and sound.
From Lin Mu Xunyu's perspective, they really didn't understand this approach.
After inspecting the racecourse, granary, armory and other places, Zuo Feng left with satisfaction. Lin Mu didn't say anything to refute, and perhaps he silently accepted the conditions. In this case, he has finally retired.
However, only Xun Yu, who was by Lin Mu's side, knew that Lin Mu had changed!
That was a deep attitude change.
In the past, he believed that Lin Mu would not rebel while Liu Hong was still in power. But now, he is not sure.
"General Lin Mu, why don't you chop off the heads of those foreigners, preserve them, and send them to Luoyang. Maybe it will have some effect." After thinking about it, Xun Yu made a suggestion to Lin Mu.
And this suggestion was also the first suggestion he made to Lin Mu.
"Oh?! This proposal is very interesting!" Lin Mu smiled and said softly after hearing this.
Xun Yu's suggestion was actually to keep the spoils in exchange for meritorious service. Ordinarily, this advice would be good.
However, Lin Mu now would not handle it like this.
"It doesn't matter, the battle to resist the aliens and kill the rebels is not officially over yet..." Lin Mu looked into the distance and murmured.
"Although I had already followed the path of the Dragon Lord before I entered the Dragon Court, if the Han Dynasty were strong, I would not commit any rebellious behavior at all."
"Bullshit imperial edict, bullshit Liu Hong!"
"Labour and management will no longer serve you!" Lin Mu roared in his heart.
Lin Mu actually didn't expect such a thing to happen in the battle of Youzhou. He really didn't expect it.
"This time, I will disobey the order!"
Lin Mu decided that from now on, he would no longer send even a single unit of resources to Luoyang, the divine capital.
And this decision represents a change in the strategy of the Great Wilderness Territory.
Officially embarking on the road to hegemony!
Afterwards, he handed the imperial edict to his personal guards, and then led Xun Yu and others northward.
After reuniting with Le Jin, they rested for a long time before the army set off and headed north.
The Qingyang Legion, who were handling the loot, also followed.
Xun Yu was puzzled by the speed at which the Qingyang Legion disposed of the spoils.
Where did all those war horses go? Could it be that the government soldiers were really transported back to the divine capital?
But he was a smart man and didn't ask.
Three days later, an army of 400,000 troops arrived fifty miles away from Chenxi City.
The approach of the 400,000-strong army was also felt by the aliens in Chenxi City.
After the Thunder Legion set off, the elite rangers were dispatched and strangled thousands of alien scout cavalry.
With such a large-scale reconnaissance of the death of cavalry, the foreign race had long been aware of the anomaly.
