When Lin Mu heard this order, he couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity in his heart.
Is there no one in Longting who can stop such nonsense orders? !
The momentum of military aircraft is fleeting, let alone one month later! !
If Dahuang Territory had not been secretly plotting, among the eight states, the losses caused by the Yellow Turban Rebellion would have been even greater. The Longting army also suffered more losses.
In the previous life, after Zhang Jiao was killed, only the guards stationed at the eight major passes under General He Jin were left in Longting! The troops of Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi were basically depleted, and the subsequent establishment was only adapted from the Yellow Turban prisoners.
This is also the reason why He Jin dared to fight with Zhang Zhi and them after the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Finally, the establishment of the Eighth Army of Xiyuan and the Eighth Colonels of Xiyuan were a move to enrich the Han army's foundation and a balanced move.
Nowadays, Huangfu Song's troops are still quite complete, and Lu Zhi's troops are also well organized after conquering five cities in a row. As long as the siege of Guangzong City does not cost too many casualties, the Han army will not be seriously damaged!
Lin Mu did not understand what happened in Longting. Needless to say, the fact that this order has reached this point must be the result of a balance between several groups.
"It seems that Dong Zhuo is like me, divided between the eunuchs and relatives!!" Lin Mu thought about it from another angle and felt that this order was quite reasonable.
By keeping Huangfu Song from going north so quickly, it gave Dong Zhuo the opportunity to kill Zhang Jiao. Zhang Rang and his eunuch group must have accepted the gift! As for He Jin... Dong Zhuo must have secretly turned to him. Later, He Jin dared to ask Dong Zhuo to lead his army into Beijing. This was probably the foreshadowing laid now!
"Could it be that everything that happened later was planned now? Li Ru and Li Wenyou... are amazing!" Lin Mu sighed in his heart without changing his expression.
Guo Jiaxi Zhicai in the Great Wilderness Territory planned the Yellow Turban Rebellion, while Li Ru and the others planned Dong Zhuo's Rebellion! !
While Lin Mu's thoughts continued, the others became angry after thinking about it. Because they also thought of the superficial reason: they didn’t want them to go to the north to grab the credit!
"Everyone, calm down first. I have another piece of news to say, that is, Beizhong Lang General Lu Zhi has been dismissed from his post for committing three major crimes," Huangfu Song said with a solemn expression.
Obviously, Huangfu Song also had spies in the court, and his speed of transmitting messages was not slow.
"What?! Didn't General Lu Zhi just conquer five cities and force Zhang Jiao into Guangzong's lair? Why was he deposed?" Everyone was stunned again.
"These two things are actually the same thing!" Huangfu Song ignored everyone's surprise and continued.
"General Lu Zhi attacked five cities in succession, but was framed by the villain Zuo Feng and deposed. Later, the newly promoted Zhonglang General Dong Zhuo took over the position of Beizhong Lang General and was responsible for annihilating Zhang Jiao."
Huangfusong was very unhappy at first, thinking that Longting was too ridiculous. But so what? !
If he went to remonstrate with him, he might even be slapped down! In that case, he might be overturned by the monster Zhang Jiao!
Therefore, Huangfu Song did not express his position at all. Not even a so-called letter was written.
He had written several letters to help regarding Zhu Jun’s matter before!
"What? Dong Zhuo? How can he hold the post of Beizhong Lang General?!" Zong Yuan and others were indignant.
"No! Dong Zhuo has been in the army in Xiliang for many years. He is a fierce general on the battlefield. He also has many soldiers and generals under his command, so he is a good choice."
"He is currently the most suitable person to take over the northern battlefield." Huangfu Song did not belittle Dong Zhuo, but recognized Dong Zhuo.
The most fearful thing is to select a nobleman from among the generals under Lu Zhi's command to serve as Bei Zhonglang General. In that case, the majority of the Northern Army might be cannibalized by Zhang Jiao!
"But..." Everyone wanted to say something else, but Huangfu Song interrupted them.
"There is no need to discuss the matter of Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo too much. We will not even discuss the matter of Zuo Feng for the time being." Huangfu Song waved his hand.
The entire meeting fell silent to listen to Huangfu Song's next words.
"What we want to discuss now is whether to implement the general's order. Remember, this is the general's order, not His Majesty's imperial edict!" Huangfu Song said the last sentence specifically.
When everyone heard this, they were slightly awe-inspiring. This seems to be something wrong. The general oversees the military and political affairs of the world, and His Majesty is also the Dragon Lord. General Huangfu Song said this specifically. Is there something fishy behind it? !
"Lord Huangfu, I think there is no need to listen to the general's order and continue heading north at full speed. The encirclement and suppression of Zhangjiao is the most important thing today. Don't be restrained by Longting's factors." Cao Cao stood up and warned in a deep voice.
Cao Cao is indeed a hero in troubled times, a capable minister in governing the world, and has the courage to face the most realistic things.
Huangfu Song heard this and looked at Cao Cao with admiration.
Be bold!
"Yes! What General Cao said is absolutely true. Our top priority is to capture Zhang Jue's head."
"You will not be able to accept your orders from me!"
After hearing this, everyone agreed with Cao Cao's suggestion.
Afterwards, Huangfu Song looked at Lin Mu.
Lin Mu had no choice but to stand up under Huangfu Song's gaze and said quietly: "I think we must abide by the general's military orders. After all, the general oversees the world's troops and we are all under his jurisdiction. We cannot disobey orders. "
"What? Why do you have to obey the general's military orders? He Jin, he is just a pig butcher. He has no military experience and he is just giving blind orders!"
"Yes! We are out there going through life and death, and they just say a few words and let us stay in this place where dogs don't care?!"
Lin Mu's words excited everyone.
Those in Longting asked them to stop because they wanted Dong Zhuo to take credit. Are they willing to give up on this? !
There was no disappointment on Huangfusong's face. Instead, he continued to look at Lin Mu with interest. He felt that Lin Mu still had something to say.
"Everyone, please be patient! I didn't say not to encircle and suppress Zhangjiao!" Lin Mu's loud voice suppressed the entire audience.
"There is no conflict between listening to the general's military orders and encircling and suppressing Zhangjiao! The military order did not tell us not to encircle and suppress Zhangjiao!" Lin Mu said with an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth.
Everyone was slightly startled when they heard this. Lin Mu's words seemed to make sense. But if you stay here for a month, the day lilies are already cold, so how can you have a chance to fuck Zhang Jiao!
"General Huangfu, my suggestion is to divide the troops!" Lin Mu bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice.
Divide the troops?
When Huangfu Song heard this, his eyes lit up slightly. Good guy, Lin Mu really knows how to find another way!
"That's right! Since the general asked us to stay in the plains to rest for a month, then we will stay... As for the other people, they are rebels!" Lin Mu looked around and pointed out.
When the sons of the noble clans in Jingzhou and Yanzhou heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
yes! Their positions were given to them by Huangfu Song. When the time comes, they can just find an excuse and let them go north. As for the rest of the matter, it would be appropriate to wait for Huangfu Song to go north lightly, and then use the Sword of Zhongxing to mobilize.
"Okay! This method is feasible." Huangfu Song quite approved of Lin Mu's method of secretly plotting against Chen Cang.
"In addition, I suggest that Meng De be the leader of the army."
"Meng De received the emperor's order to assist the princes. He did not say to assist Mr. Huangfu, Mr. Zhu Jun or Mr. Lu Zhi!" Lin Mu said with a smile.
When Cao Cao heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Before he left Luoyang, he had received such an imperial order. But the situation is different now. He is already Huangfu Song's right-wing general.
Moreover, if he leads the army northward, he will be targeted by that little guy He Jin!
"Ahem! I think General Lin Mu is quite suitable to lead the army north. As a left-wing general, he can capture cities and territories and is proficient in military strategy." Cao Cao immediately recommended Lin Mu.
"What the hell! I'm just a little stranger with no roots. How can I take on such a big responsibility?" Lin Mu waved his hand.
Just kidding, if you lead the army north, you will definitely be targeted by that bastard General He Jin.
He didn't want to say this suggestion originally, just because he was afraid that there would be variables on Zhang Jiao's side.
Because Taiping Dao has a powerful variable called Dian Wei.
Seven-Yuan Divine General, that is a high-end Divine General!
Without Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo, it would be terrible if Zhang Jue really rushed out and wiped out the Northern Army.
Lin Mu could say without hesitation that Huangfu Song's current military strength and strength alone could not defeat Zhang Jue!
Afterwards, under the strange looks of everyone, Lin Mu and Cao Cao began to trade business with each other again.
Under the pushback, Huangfu Song, whose face gradually turned dark, still ignored the two people's business exchanges and made the final decision to let Cao Cao lead the team north.
There were only tens of thousands of people left in the entire camp.
Lin Mu also asked Huang Xu and Cui Wu to lead their troops to follow Cao Cao.
