Lin Yu gave the order.
At the Kowloon Official Residence, tens of thousands of soldiers were quickly mobilized!
As the saying goes, "An army is raised for a thousand days, but used for only one."
Wang Dalei, the corps commander, was extremely strict in leading his troops. Even though they were cut off from supplies, he never relaxed the training.
Now, the young marshal has arranged for them to stay at the Kowloon official residence, providing them with good food and drink. During this period, everyone was well-fed and hydrated, and was in top condition.
They had long harbored resentment towards Li Mu, and now that they learned the young marshal had ordered an attack on Li Mu, the entire regiment was overjoyed.
"Damn it! I've wanted to fuck that bastard Li Mu for ages!"
"He withholds rations and treats me like I'm not human; such a person is not fit to be a commander!"
"We are loyal only to the young marshal!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Led by Wang Dalei, a group of people shouted as they rushed towards the garrison.
Li Mu naturally learned of such a big commotion.
In fact, ever since Wang Dalei led his troops to Kowloon Official Residence, he has been keeping a close eye on their movements.
With such a large-scale operation underway, his subordinates naturally came to report.
Li Mu was immediately stunned.
He knew Lin Yu was going to make a move against him, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Even if you're the young marshal, you still need to find a pretext to start a fight, right?
We haven't even checked the accounts yet, and you're already starting to do it?
"Damn it, launching a sneak attack in the middle of the night! You little piece of trash, you can't take a joke!" Li Mu was furious and overturned the table.
"General, what do we do now?" Vulture asked from the side. "Park Chang-hae has arrived and has been taken to the hospital. He's undergoing pre-operative preparations, and the surgery can begin soon!"
Li Mu said with a stern face, "What's done is done. Do what needs to be done. Besides, this Lin family brat didn't come here for this matter. Afterwards, just cremate him and leave no ashes. Who will know about this then?"
"Yes!" Vulture nodded immediately. "Then I'll go and tell Li Wenlong and the others to prepare for the surgery!"
Li Mu waved his hand, and the vulture immediately left.
Right now, he doesn't need to worry about the hospital; he only needs to deal with Lin Yu's troop deployment.
He really couldn't figure out what kind of drugs this kid had taken.
It's completely unreasonable for someone to attack his base for no reason. If I just impeach him, no matter if he's a young marshal or an imperial inspector, he'll be in big trouble!
But there's no use saying all this now; they've already attacked. In any case, we absolutely cannot confront them head-on!
Because he knew that Lin Yu possessed the Ironclad Cavalry!
Although the Iron Pagoda only has a thousand men, each of them can take on a hundred men!
His army is no match for him!
Why don't we find someone to smooth things over and help him block the way?
That's right!
The person he was looking for was naturally the military supervisor, Wu Dao!
The Floating Army is now under Wu Dao's command, and after arriving in Xidu, Wu Dao thoroughly purged the entire Floating Army, and now he has complete control over it.
With the strength of the Floating Pagoda Army, let alone Wang Dalei's troops, even if the Iron Floating Pagoda really came, they might not be unable to fight!
Thinking of this, he immediately called Wu Dao.
Wu Dao's camp was right next to the government army's camp. At this moment, Wu Dao was having a great time in his tent with a beautiful female soldier.
However, seeing that it was Li Mu calling him, he still answered the call.
"Hello? General Li, it's so late, why are you calling me? What's up? Want to grab a drink?" Wu Dao's tone couldn't help but be a little teasing.
Although he indulged in a life of pleasure, he was very clear-headed.
Li Mu also had his spies around him, so he naturally knew about Wang Dalei's troop deployment.
Li Mu said urgently, "Supervisor Wu, stop pretending. That Lin fellow has already made his move and is going to send troops to attack me. You can't be unaware of this, can you?"
"Oh? Is that so?" Wu Dao feigned surprise and asked, "General Li, on what grounds does he want to attack you?"
Li Mu said, "I don't know either, but if our two sides fight, it will definitely cause the heavens and the earth to collapse. So I would like to ask Supervisor Wu to send the Floating Pagoda Army to help me! After all, you are the supervisor, and that brat Lin Yu will definitely be wary of you!"
"Make me take action?" Wu Dao sneered inwardly.
You old fox! I offered to team up with you to deal with that bastard before, but you wouldn't have it. Now that they've come knocking on your door, you're panicking? And you want to use me as a shield?
Wu Dao wasn't stupid, and quickly said, "General Li, it's not that I don't want to help you, but as you know, I haven't been in charge of the Floating Pagoda Army for long, and I haven't even trained a single soldier. I'm not confident at all! Besides, you know that every cannon shot costs a fortune. I've just taken command of the army, and my resources are weak. Where am I going to get the money to fight?"
Li Mu took a deep breath, knowing that this kid was deliberately putting him on the defensive.
They're just trying to extort money from you!
He thought for a moment and said, "If Supervisor Wu helps me this time, I will personally contribute 500 million in military funds to support our brothers in the Floating Pagoda Army. What do you think?"
"Five hundred million?" Wu Dao's eyes flickered slightly. This amount was not small, but he still felt it was not enough, so he continued to decline: "General Li, this is not about money. That Lin family brat is now the Imperial Inspector of Eight Prefectures, representing the Grand Secretary! If I were to lay a hand on him, it would be tantamount to treason. Although I am a young master of a noble family, I cannot bear such a crime!"
Li Mu was furious. This kid had tried to win him over to deal with Lin Yu, but now he was taking advantage of him instead. He was clearly taking advantage of his misfortune!
He patiently said, "Then, Supervisor Wu, tell me, what would it take for you to help me?"
Wu Dao's lips curled slightly as he said, "Here's the deal: you issue a proclamation denouncing Lin Yuanlong and his son, the Prefect of Fengfu, for hoarding troops and plotting a rebellion, and announce that the Prefect's army will be incorporated into my Futu Army, offering to help me, Wu Dao, to punish Lin Yuanlong and his son and quell the rebellion! Then I'll agree to help you!"
"What?!" Li Mu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Is this kid out of his mind?
What a joke! You're just a military supervisor, you haven't even grown your hair yet, and you think you can bring down Lin Yuanlong?
In fact, Wu Dao really got carried away.
Although he had only recently taken command of the Floating Pagoda Army, he had already replaced all its generals, and now the entire army was staffed by his men. Moreover, he had just inspected the army, and the Floating Pagoda Army truly lived up to its name—their combat power was formidable!
After all, he had led the elite troops in Yandu, and he felt that the combat power of the Futu Army was much stronger than that of the Shenji Battalion and others!
Therefore, he was confident that he could accomplish this amazing feat and completely overturn the Feng Mansion!
He had to fight this battle sooner or later. As long as he took over Fengfu, he would be a hero of the Wu family. At that time, the entire world would be within the Wu family's grasp!
If Li Mu knew that this was what he was thinking, he would be so angry he would vomit blood.
He had worked alongside Lin Yuanlong to get where he was, and he knew exactly how powerful Lin Yuanlong was, even if others didn't!
The Fengtian Army is not just the Floating Pagoda Army! In addition to the Floating Pagoda Army, there are also the Tiger and Leopard Army, the Wolf Army, the Bear Army, and several elite special forces secretly trained by Lin Yuanlong.
Putting everything else aside, just the Ironclad Cavalry alone is enough to cause a lot of trouble, after all, it is the strongest in the Nine Provinces!
