Lin Mu rode three horses north, and Baiguan stood outside Luoyang City and watched Lin Mu leave blankly.

They didn't know what was going on in Lin Mu's head, and whether they could abide by the basic logic of war.

But Lin Mu had already thought about it, and now the conscription ratio of the imperial court is twenty to one, that is, two million people have recruited 100,000 soldiers.

This ratio is stuck in the passing line, and if you continue to recruit soldiers because of this matter, it will be a reckless force.

Although Lin Mu didn't mind, the people couldn't afford it, and if they continued to levy more, not only would they not be able to recruit many people, but the quality of the soldiers would also decline.

Therefore, Lin Mu decided to go north to Taiyuan alone to save the siege of the state.

Liu Bei saw that Lin Mu was leaving, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Lin Mu.

"Your Majesty, my two brothers have the courage of ten thousand people, and I ask Your Majesty to allow these two brothers of mine to walk with Your Majesty."

Lin Mu looked back and found that it was Liu Bei and Guan Zhang.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's expressions were still a little wooden at this time, they heard Liu Bei say that the Son of Heaven was going north to Taiyuan alone, but they didn't react until now.

Jia Xu hurriedly helped.

"Yes, if Your Majesty is not like this, you will go to Xuzhou with Xuande Gong, and Your Majesty will take Guan and Zhang with you......"

Seeing this, even Zhu Jun stood up to admonish.

Lin Mu frowned and looked at a few people.

"I've made it clear, so I don't need to say more."

Jia Xu can now be said to be Lin Mu's henchman, the most important thing is that he has killed too many children of the family, even if he betrays Lin Mu, he will not end well.

In addition, Jia Xu's talent is also enough, and Jia Xu was even appointed as one of the three princes by Cao Pi in the future, so Lin Mu put Jia Xu in Luoyang City to be intimidated.

Seeing Lin Mu's frown, several people immediately didn't dare to persuade again, so they could only watch Lin Mu go away.

"Big brother, is this day really alone?"

Guan Yu only reacted at this time, Lin Mu really left alone.

Before Liu Bei could speak, Zhang Fei said.

"If you really go alone, this day is really powerful."

Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei angrily, and then hurriedly came to Jia Xu.

"Jia Zhongcheng, what can we do now?"

Jia Xu looked at Liu Bei, who was anxious, and his face, which was still anxious when he sent Lin Mu just now, instantly became unwavering.

"If Your Majesty wants to go, let him go, what's there?"

After Jia Xu saw that the forest had disappeared from his field of vision, he raised his legs and walked towards Luoyang City.

"Huh?"

Liu Bei followed behind Jia Xu and said as he walked.

"Then what should be the safety of Your Majesty?"

When Jia Xu heard this, he stopped and glanced back at Liu Bei.

"Your Majesty, since you killed the rebellious minister Li Ru on the top of the main hall that day, which move is not thrilling? Your Majesty knows that you can rest assured, but you have to do your own thing. ”

After Jia Xu said that, he left, and most of the officials followed Jia Xu and entered Luoyang together.

Leaving only the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang and the remaining hundred officials standing outside the city, Jia Xu knew that Lin Mu entrusted Liu Bei with great power, and even divided some of his power.

But Jia Xu didn't feel anything about it, if Lin Mu hadn't forced him, he wouldn't even want to be an official now.

To have power means to do things, and the more you do, the more people you will offend, which Jia Xu now deeply understands.

If it weren't for the fact that there are too many people offended now, it would have been difficult to ride a tiger, and Jia Xu would have wanted to resign and run away.

But in the end, it is the one who Lin Mu uses to divide his power, and it is better to keep some distance.

This is the duty of a courtier, and Jia Xu is still doing well.

"Big brother, let's transfer troops to Xuzhou now, this time our mission is also ......"

Guan Yu wanted to say that their mission this time was not light, but he thought that Lin Mu was going north alone, and he couldn't say the word "not light".

Liu Bei sighed, and then took many military attaches to the Luoyang camp.

Taiyuan is more than 800 miles away in a straight line, and if it is a red rabbit horse, it only takes one day.

But Lin Mu is not riding the Red Rabbit, and the road between the two places is not smooth, plus there are mountain roads, so Lin Mu needs about ten to twelve days.

On the fifth day, Lin Mu had already crossed the Yellow River, passed through Hedong County, and came to Shangdang County.

The next step is much simpler, you just need to go north.

Three horses, one on a ride, one carrying food and wine, and one idle.

Horses are not fast, and their speed is very limited in every day.

But if you don't spare any horsepower, you can go a lot faster, but then the horse will be useless, and the back of the tree will have to run on its legs.

When it came to the tenth day, Lin Mu left Shangdang County and went to Taiyuan County.

Since entering the state, Lin Mu has felt the difference.

The farther north you go, the more sparsely populated, and when you come to Taiyuan County, Lin Mu has passed through several villages that are already empty.

As the forest walked through the village, he saw some of the corpses on the side of the road, and it seemed that these people had either fled or been killed.

It was also the cold weather that made these corpses that had been dead for an unknown period of time not smell.

Lin Mu pulled the robe on his body slightly, although the weather was already very cold, but it still made a nameless fire burn in Lin Mu's heart.

The weather was already very cold at this time, and it was still late autumn when Lin Mu first came out of Luoyang, and after walking for ten days, it had already entered early winter.

Lin Mu rode a war horse with an open mind and walked in the direction of Taiyuan City.

At this moment, a small black dot appeared in the distance, and Lin Mu found that it was clearly a cavalryman.

It's just that the cavalry is very poorly equipped, holding a big man's standard knife in his hand and a nondescript military general's hat on his head.

But he was wearing thick clothing made of animal skins.

At this glance, you know that this person is a Huns, and the Huns have almost killed the Huns when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did.

However, some of the Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and this Xiongnu was placed in Bingzhou.

It's just that this Xiongnu, after being honest for decades, began to develop its power, and then took advantage of the weakness of the Han to really break away from the control of the Han.

Since then, this small branch of the Xiongnu has been restored to the former Xiongnu.

The frontier of the Han Dynasty has also been disturbed by this over the years, and Ding Yuan's biggest enemy in Bingzhou is the Xiongnu tribes.

Now that the Han are in chaos again, they have taken the opportunity to plunder south.

The Huns in the distance seemed to be very happy as if they had seen their prey after seeing the trees.

The war horse under the crotch kept galloping, and rushed towards the forest.

The knife in his hand was also unsheathed, and at the moment he approached the wood, he slashed at the wood.

Lin Mu was not afraid of the war knife at all, let the war knife slash on his chest, grabbed the neck of the Huns who were still surprised, and then dragged him off the war horse.
