Lin Mu led everyone and rushed directly to the northern city wall. As for Yuan Shujun outside the northern city wall, he had no idea that the owner of the city had changed overnight!
When Lin Mu completely occupied the city, Qiao Xuan hid with his family in a hidden courtyard.
Zhou Cang did not tell Lin Mu about Qiao Xuan's situation. As for Gao Sheng and others, after secretly planning with Lin Mu, they were only focused on how to enrich their own pockets and how to marry, and they couldn't care less about Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan's family did not want to come into contact with Lin Mu. Especially when Xiao Qiao strongly wanted to see Lin Mu, Qiao Xuan directly told Xiao Qiao not to go out.
Seeing Lin Mu, it would be fine if he was an upright and tolerant general. But if a lustful and cruel general snatched away his two precious daughters, would he be able to resist? The world is now in chaos, and it is best to be wise and protect yourself.
It is also impossible for him to stand up and make suggestions for Lin Mu for the time being.
In this way, Qiao Xuan's family stayed quietly in the courtyard, and Lin Mu, who did not know the situation, did not come to visit.
…
…
"Dong dong!!" A vast sound of drums soared into the sky.
In the temporary military camp outside the north of the city, everyone began to commotion when they heard the sound of drums.
Are the Yellow Turbans in the city coming to attack the camp? !
They just had a fight yesterday, and now it's their turn to come out and fight?
However, after all the officers and soldiers put on their armor and formed their formations, they found that the North City Gate was still closed.
Moreover, they found that the Yellow Turban Army Sheng flag on the city wall was missing.
What happened on the city wall?
The soldiers outside the city looked at the city wall in confusion and found that there seemed to be no one on it? !
A young man riding a tall horse, holding the reins, pulled the horse out.
This man was wearing cyan armor and a blue-patterned helmet, with flowing blue cloud silk bindings blowing in the wind, giving this young man a transcendent aura.
He is tall and thin, with a fair and beardless face, and looks quite handsome. However, at this moment, those falcon-like eyes on his handsome face were shining with a captivating and sinister light.
Anyone who was stared at by him seemed to feel a light on their backs.
If you ignore the look in his eyes, this guy is still a handsome guy.
This man rode up to the front, followed by a burly general. This military commander is tall and mighty, and the muscles like horned dragons in his arms seem to contain explosive force. At first glance, he looks like the kind of bodyguard that makes the lord feel at ease.
"Yellow turban thieves in the city, are you beating the drums to surrender to this general?" The man raised his head slightly and said with great arrogance.
"Yellow turban traitors, come down quickly and surrender to our Lord Xuanwei, General Yuan Shu. We, Lords, are descendants of the Yuan family, the fourth and third prince. If you surrender, you will be exempted from death penalty!" The burly general next to him then shouted.
The burly general's voice was as loud as a bell, echoing throughout the city walls.
It turns out that this young man is Yuan Shu!
As if their words had an effect, there was a shaking sound on the city wall, and then soldiers wearing uniform equipment appeared on the wall.
And the leader was Lin Mu.
"General Yuan Shu's reputation is like thunder to my ears. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary!" Lin Mu straightened his body, stared at Yuan Shu, and laughed.
"Lin Mu? Why is it you?" Yuan Shu was shocked when he saw Lin Mu.
Then he immediately thought: "Did you defect to Taiping Road and become a thief?!"
"How dare you plot rebellion! You are seeking death!!" Yuan Shu took the lead and stared at Lin Mu angrily.
When Lin Mu appeared on the city wall, there were only two possibilities, one was to surrender to the enemy, and the other was to break the city!
No matter what, let's shock Lin Mu first. After all, he had some impression of this guy.
"Why did you surrender to Taiping Road and become a bandit? I am still General Fubo of the Han Dynasty! It's just that we captured Fuling City last night!" Lin Mu seemed to know that Yuan Shu would do this, but he still looked indifferent.
"What? You captured Fuling City?" Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu's falcon-like eyes burst out with a gleam of shock, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
Last night, there seemed to be no big movement! How could Lin Mu accomplish the siege mission they planned to take ten days to complete overnight?
"Of course! If General Yuan doesn't believe it, you can go into the city and check it out in person!" Lin Mu invited with a smile.
As Lin Mu's invitation sounded, the city gate opened with a bang.
When Yuan Shu and others saw this, they raised their brows sharply. The city gate that they had failed to break through despite many casualties was now really open!
Regarding Lin Mu's invitation, Yuan Shu did not dare to enter immediately. If it were an ordinary general or official, such as Wang Lang, Zhu Hao, etc., Yuan Shu might have held his head high and swaggered in with his bodyguards, without any soldiers.
However, what he is facing now is Lin Mu, this stranger who has done dirty things with him!
He is afraid! He was afraid that Lin Mu would ambush the divine archer and kill him with one arrow!
He is not afraid of Lin Mu, he is just afraid of the magic archer reported by his subordinates!
Then, Yuan Shu looked around and found that there was no magic archer as reported by his subordinates, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Yuan Shu still did not dare to enter the city. Pulling the reins, he raised his head proudly and said provocatively: "I didn't expect that we fought hard for a day and lost most of the Yellow Turban Army, but you took advantage of us. General Fubo really knows how to take advantage!"
Lin Mu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. Sure enough, Yuan Shu is so shameless! Will make excuses. Why don't you come here to defeat the Yellow Turban Army? You didn't even destroy many of their core troops, and you just came here to squeak. It's really upright and shameless!
In fact, Lin Mu also knew the meaning of Yuan Shu's words. Without him, Yuan Shu wanted to steal Zhou Cang's military achievements to his own name!
Yuan Shu openly said this in front of so many soldiers, just to pave the way for military glory later.
After Yuan Shu said these words, Lin Mu knew his routine. Basically, this is how those children from prominent families grab merit!
As for the so-called system data, it is just a redemption qualification. Emperor Liu Hong does not look at these at all.
The situation of the Yellow Turban Battle in Yangzhou was basically written by Wang Lang, the governor. Of course, he did not dare to take credit for himself or belittle Lin Mu. But if Yuan Shu, a descendant of the Yuan family, rushed in front, he would dare to belittle Lin Mu.
Moreover, Zhou Cang was not dead on the surface, and was still in the Yellow Turban Army. Lin Mu only wiped out most of the Yellow Turban Army, but it was not a success, and it was not them who had the final say!
When he went back to the court to speak, most of the battle achievements basically fell on Yuan Shu.
In the memorial, it is written directly that Ding Feng Yuan Shu was the first, Lin Mu was the second, and Wang Lang was the second. There is no big problem.
Lin Mu was very familiar with this routine and would not argue about it.
He is a pragmatic person, and he really doesn't want some useless fame.
However, this time's military merit is related to his subsequent layout. It is not a vain name, he must strive for it.
"You have only been here for a day, and it was just a tentative attack. Does this mean you have wiped out most of the Yellow Turban elites? Then my Star Legion killed 400,000 Yellow Turban elites, what does it count?!" Lin Mu shouted and directly refuted Yuan Shu.
"How many troops did you lose during the siege?! General Yuan, can you reveal it?" Lin Mu directly challenged Yuan Shu.
When Yuan Shu heard this, he glared angrily. Sure enough, Lin Mu really didn't have that kind of respect for him. You know, he is a direct descendant of the second best family in the world, how dare you attack him like this! (The best family in the world is the Liu family!)
"General Lin Mu is a disciple of Master Xun Shuang, and he can be regarded as a disciple of a famous family. I believe that General Lin Mu captured Fuling City and defeated Zhoucang Daqushuai." At this time, the burly general next to Yuan Shu said.
Yuan Shu glanced at the general with admiration. If you want him to talk about casualties... Haha, don't you want to slap him in the face!
"However, I wonder how Zhou Cang is doing now? Can General Lin tell me about last night's situation?" the burly general asked with his fists clasped.
The breakout battle in the south of the city seemed huge, but it did not create the spectacular scene of a mighty siege. It could not be heard outside the north city.
Compared with Yuan Shu, this general is relatively polite.
Lin Mu took a deep look at the general, and a familiar name appeared in his mind.
In fact, Lin Mu didn't have to answer the general's words because of identity issues. He is currently General Fubo, and Yuan Shu is General Xuanwei. They are both equivalent, and both hold the rank of sixth-grade middle minister. And this general was just the deputy general of General Xuanwei, equivalent to the status of Cui Wu and Huang Xu. If Cui Wu went to ask Yuan Shu, given Yuan Shu's temperament, he might directly confront him.
However, Lin Mu was not that arrogant person, and said in a deep voice: "We took advantage of the night to sneak attack on the south city gate, and at the cost of 80,000 elite soldiers, we captured the south city wall. Later, when Zhou Cang was unprepared when he returned to the city, we laid an ambush. To him. He was shot by six arrows by our archers and was seriously injured and dying. However, he was saved by his personal guards desperately. His current condition is unknown."
"His men fought desperately to break through the encirclement, led the remaining troops to break through the defense line, and fled Fuling City."
Lin Mu told the situation 40% truthfully, 50% falsely, and 10% vaguely.
When the general heard this, his eyes widened and he began to think secretly.
Although Lin Mu was generalizing, he, a warrior on the battlefield, could understand the plot and danger involved.
Sure enough, Lin Mu was as strategic and courageous as those people said! It is not unreasonable for his master to hate him.
