Chapter 1124 Yuan Shu Competes for Credit

Lin Mu led everyone to the north wall. The Yuan Shu army outside the north wall had no idea that the city's owner 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 discussing with Lin Mu, they only cared about how to enrich their pockets and how to marry, and they didn't care about Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Xuan's family didn't want to contact Lin Mu, especially when Xiao Qiao wanted to see Lin Mu, Qiao Xuan directly told Xiao Qiao not to go out.

If he was an upright and tolerant general, it would be fine. If he was a lustful and cruel general who robbed his two precious daughters, could he resist? Now is a chaotic world, and it is best to be able to protect yourself.

He couldn't stand up to advise Lin Mu for the time being.

In this way, Qiao Xuan's family stayed quietly in the courtyard, and Lin Mu, who didn't know the situation, didn't visit.

…

…

“Dong Dong!” A huge drumbeat sounded.

In the temporary military camp outside the north of the city, people started to riot when they heard the drumbeat.

Are the Yellow Turbans on the city going to attack the camp? !

They just had a fight yesterday, and now it’s their turn to fight?

However, after all the officers and soldiers put on their armor and formed a battle formation, they found that the north gate was still closed.

Moreover, they found that the Yellow Turbans’ flags on the city wall were gone.

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, came out of the horse.

This man was wearing green armor and a green-patterned helmet. His elegant blue cloud silk binding fluttered in the wind, giving this young man a transcendent aura.

He was tall and thin, with a white face and no beard, and looked quite handsome. However, at this moment, the eagle-like eyes on his handsome face were emitting a kind of sinister light that could attract people.

Anyone who was stared at by him seemed to feel a thorn in his back.

If you ignore his eyes, this guy is still a handsome guy.

This man rode a horse to the front, followed by a burly general. This general was tall and mighty, and his arms were like dragon-like muscles, which seemed to contain explosive force. At first glance, he was the kind of bodyguard who made his master feel at ease.

"Yellow Turban thieves in the city, you beat the drums, do you want to surrender to this general?" This man raised his head slightly and said arrogantly.

"Yellow Turban thieves, come down quickly and surrender to our Xuanwei General Yuan Shu. Our lord is a descendant of the Yuan family, who has been a third-generation official for four generations. If you surrender, you can be exempted from death!" The burly general next to him continued to shout.

The burly general's voice was as loud as a bell, echoing on the entire city wall.

It turned out that this young man was Yuan Shu!

As if their words had worked, there was a vibration on the wall, and then soldiers wearing uniform equipment appeared on the wall.

The leader was Lin Mu.

"General Yuan Shu's name is well-known to me. Today, I see that he is 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 surrender to the Taiping Dao and become a bandit?!"

"How dare you rebel! You are looking for death!!" Yuan Shu took the lead and stared at Lin Mu with murderous intent.

There are only two possibilities for Lin Mu to appear on the wall, one is surrendering to the enemy, and the other is breaking through the city!

In any case, shock Lin Mu first. After all, he has some impression of this guy.

"What do you mean by surrendering to the Taiping Dao and becoming 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 calm.

"What? You captured Fuling City?" Yuan Shu heard this, and his hawk-like eyes flashed with shock, and his face showed a look of disbelief.

Last night, there seemed to be no big movement! How did Lin Mu accomplish the siege task that they planned to complete in ten days overnight?

"Of course! If General Yuan doesn't believe it, you can go into the city and check it out yourself!" Lin Mu invited with a smile.

As Lin Mu's invitation sounded, the city gate opened with a bang.

Yuan Shu and others saw this, and their eyebrows suddenly raised. The city gate that they had failed to break through with many casualties was now really open!

Yuan Shu did not dare to enter immediately for Lin Mu's invitation. If it were an ordinary general or official, such as Wang Lang and Zhu Hao, Yuan Shu might have walked in with his bodyguards, without even bringing soldiers.

However, he was now facing Lin Mu, the alien who had done dirty things to him!

He was afraid! He was afraid that Lin Mu would ambush the archer and kill him with one arrow!

He was not afraid of Lin Mu, but the archer reported by his subordinates!

Then, Yuan Shu looked around and found that there was no archer as reported by his subordinates, so he was slightly relieved.

However, Yuan Shu still did not dare to enter the city. Pulling the reins, he raised his head arrogantly and said provocatively: "I didn't expect that we fought hard for a day and wore down most of the Yellow Turban Army, but you took advantage of it. General Fubo really knows how to take advantage!"

Lin Mu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. Sure enough, Yuan Shu is such a shameless guy! He knows how to make excuses. You guys come to fight the Yellow Turban Army, but you didn't even kill much of their core troops, and you come here to complain. You are so shameless!

In fact, Lin Mu also knew what Yuan Shu meant by this sentence. Yuan Shu wanted to take Zhou Cang's military merit to his own name!

Yuan Shu said this openly in front of so many soldiers just to pave the way for grabbing military merit later.

After Yuan Shu said this, Lin Mu knew his routine. Basically, those children of prominent families go to grab merit in this way!

As for the so-called system data, it is just a redemption qualification, and the emperor Liu Hong doesn't look at these at all.

The situation of the Yellow Turban Campaign in Yangzhou was basically written by the governor Wang Lang. Of course, he didn't dare to ask for credit for himself and belittle Lin Mu. But if Yuan Shu, a child of the Yuan family, rushed to the 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. Whether he was the first merit or not was up to them!

When he went back to the court and talked about it, the major military merit basically fell on Yuan Shu's head.

In the memorial, it was written directly that Ding Feng and Yuan Shu were the first merit, Lin Mu was the second merit, and Wang Lang was the second merit. There was no big problem.

Lin Mu was very familiar with this routine and would not argue about anything.

He was a pragmatic person and he really didn't want some useless false names.

However, this second military merit was related to his subsequent layout, and it was not a useless false name. He wanted to fight for it.

"You have just been here for a day and just made a tentative attack. This is considered to have wiped out most of the Yellow Turban elites? Then my Star Legion killed 400,000 Yellow Turban elites, what is it?!!" Lin Mu shouted loudly and directly refuted Yuan Shu.

"How many soldiers and horses did you lose in the siege?! General Yuan, can you tell us!" Lin Mu directly confronted Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu heard this and glared at him. Sure enough, Lin Mu really didn't respect him. You know, he is the direct descendant of the second-best family in the world, how dare he confront him like this! (The first-best family in the world is the Liu family!)

"General Lin Mu is the disciple of Lord Xun Shuang, and he is also a famous family. I believe that General Lin Mu broke through Fuling City and defeated Zhou Cang Daqushuai." At this time, the burly general next to Yuan Shu spoke.

Yuan Shu looked at the general with appreciation. If he asked him about casualties... hehe, wouldn't it be a slap in his face!

"However, I don't know how Zhou Cang is doing now? General Lin, can you tell me about the situation last night?" The burly general asked with a fist.

The breakout battle in the south of the city looked mighty, but it could not form the spectacular scene of a mighty siege, and it could not be heard outside the north city.

Compared with Yuan Shu, this general was relatively polite.

Lin Mu took a deep look at the general, and a familiar name emerged in his mind.

In fact, Lin Mu could not answer the general's words because of his identity. He is currently General Fubo, and Yuan Shu is General Xuanwei. Both are equivalent, and both are soft positions of the sixth-rank middle minister. And this general is only the deputy general of General Xuanwei, which is equivalent to the status of Cui Wu and Huang Xu. If Cui Wu asks Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu may directly confront him with his temper.

However, Lin Mu is not the kind of arrogant person. He said in a deep voice: "We took advantage of the night to sneak attack the south gate, and paid the price of 80,000 elite soldiers to take down the south wall. Then we took advantage of Zhou Cang's return to the city and ambushed him. He was shot by six arrows by our archers and was seriously injured and dying, but he was saved by his personal guards. The current situation is unknown."

"Later, his subordinates fought desperately to break through, led the remnants to break through the defense line, and fled from Fuling City."

Lin Mu told the situation with four parts true, five parts false, and one part vague.

The general heard the words, his tiger eyes glared, and he thought secretly.

Although Lin Mu was generalizing, he, a warrior on the battlefield, could understand the strategies and dangers involved.

Sure enough, Lin Mu was just as strategic and courageous as those people said! It was not unreasonable for his lord to be jealous of him.
