"System Notification: Congratulations to player Blazing Sun for making substantial progress in the reinforcement of Yizhou Liu Dan. You have obtained the Western Shu Topographic Map Fragments. After gathering 16 copies, you will be able to obtain the complete Western Shu Topographic Map.
At the same time, you can choose to withdraw at any time and receive the final reward. The final reward will be directly related to the progress made by the reinforcement of Liu Dan. The greater the progress, the higher the level of the reward … "
Yang Rui had always been puzzled about the mission reward. However, after he helped Liu Dan conquer Jiangzhou, he finally had a clue about it. Throughout the process of sending reinforcements, Yang Rui should be able to obtain the remaining pieces of the topographic map of Western Shu, and there would be a final reward.
The level of the final reward was directly related to the effectiveness of the reinforcement, but he still did not know what kind of reward it was.
However, after Yang Rui saw the Western Shu Topographic Map Fragments, his interest in continuing to reinforce Liu Dan suddenly increased. This was because the content of the Western Shu Topographic Map Fragments was too detailed.
In fact, it was not as simple as a topographic map. If it only involved the topographic map of Western Shu that Zhang Song had presented in history, which only included the topography, cities, and roads of Western Shu, it would not have much meaning to Yang Rui.
Yang Rui had the Sky Castle, so it would not be troublesome for him to figure out the relevant content, at least for now.
In the Western Shu Topographic Map Fragments that Yang Rui had obtained, in addition to the above content, the map also showed in detail the distribution of population, the thickness of the land, the distribution of forests, the mineral resources, and other various resources in the relevant areas.
It could be said that from the various things that existed on the surface to the minerals that could not be seen underground, there were more detailed displays in the map. It was just like a resource satellite in the real world, and it was very valuable.
The only pity was that Yang Rui had only obtained a fragment of the map at this time. Although the labels were very detailed and clear, it did not indicate the area of Western Shu. It should be possible to examine the complete Western Shu Topographic Map Fragments in detail after gathering all 16 fragments.
Not to mention the final reward of the reinforcement, just such a map alone had already made Yang Rui very interested. If he could obtain the complete Western Shu Topographic Map, it would be of great benefit to the development and utilization of the Western Shu area!
Half a day after the attack on Jiangzhou, Yang Rui ordered Han Dai to command 50000 troops and wait for Shen Mi and Lou Fa, who had already agreed, to come and take over the defense. Then, he once again used the Sky Castle with Liu Dan to return in the direction of Fu Pass, preparing to attack Zhixian County, Hanping, and even Fuling along the way, as well as stop Zhao Gui, who was retreating in defeat.
As for the process of taking down Jiangzhou, there was not too much fierce fighting. Although Jiangzhou was a large county, Yang Rui and Liu Dan did not rely entirely on brute force to take it down.
At that time, Yang Rui rushed to the east gate of Jiangzhou with Liu Dan and set up 100 heavy trebuchets to attack it several times. Before the gate was damaged much, some of the guards in the city had already recognized Liu Dan's identity.
Obviously, Liu Dan still had some influence in Jiangzhou City. Obviously, some of the guards were more willing to accept Liu Dan. As a result, after a series of internal strife among the guards in the city, the gate that Yang Rui attacked was actually opened from the inside.
The rest of the matter was very simple. Under Liu Dan's banner, Yang Rui led the troops into the city and quickly wiped out some of the guards in the city who were unwilling to comply. He took over Jiangzhou City. Throughout the entire process, Yang Rui's losses were very limited.
Of course, Liu Dan's influence here was only one of the factors that allowed them to take down Jiangzhou so easily. The size and combat power of Yang Rui's troops were also very important factors. At the very least, they gave enough deterrence to the wavering guards, which eventually led to internal strife among the guards in the city.
If Liu Dan had only brought a small number of troops, the probability of the guards of Jiangzhou City opening the gate for him was almost zero, even if his influence was not low. This was the effect of the situation.
It was worth mentioning that since Yang Rui and Liu Dan were on the same side, after Jiangzhou City was taken down, it was nominally owned by Liu Dan. All the treasures in the city were the same. As they were on the same side, Yang Rui could not attack each other. Naturally, he did not receive any benefits.
Unless Yang Rui gave up on the mission to help Liu Dan and broke off with him at this time. Whether it was considering the rewards from the mission or the reputation, Yang Rui was unwilling to do so.
On the other hand, Yang Rui and Liu Dan continued their journey and took down two more county cities that belonged to Ba Prefecture. The situation of the two county cities was not much different from Ba Prefecture. Under the pressure of Yang Rui's army, the guards in the cities took the initiative to hand over their cities to Liu Dan.
As for these two newly taken county cities, since they were voluntarily handed over, Liu Dan continued to let the original civil servants of the two counties manage them. Yang Rui also did not send any troops to guard them.
On this trip, other than his family, Yang Rui did not bring any subordinates. At this time, only Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao had the experience and ability to command troops. Therefore, although Yang Rui's military strength was sufficient, he was extremely short on subordinates and could not spare any extra manpower.
After taking down the two county cities, the incomplete map of Western Shu that Yang Rui coveted did not appear. The system prompt for the reinforcement mission did not appear either. It was probably because the level or number of cities that they took down was not enough.
After a game day, Yang Rui operated Sky City close to the border between Ba Prefecture and Fuling Prefecture. According to Yang Rui's estimation and initial observation, if Zhao Gui's defeated army went straight for his base in Hanzhong, they should be in the nearby area at this time.
After half a day of searching, Yang Rui and Liu Dan finally used Sky City to discover the whereabouts of Zhao Gui's defeated army. Once again, they set up an ambush in advance on the path that they had to pass through and defeated Zhao Gui's troops again.
There were many mountain ranges in Yi Province, so the ambush was naturally easy to accomplish. Moreover, the number of Zhao Gui's defeated army did not exceed 50000. Under the ambush, it did not take much effort to defeat them again. In fact, the number of Zhao Gui's troops that escaped in the end was very limited.
However, Yang Rui and the others did not see Zhao Gui's figure from the beginning to the end. Perhaps he had returned to Hanzhong in advance and did not move with the defeated army.
After this battle, Zhao Gui's troops had completely lost the ability to fight again. There were no longer any major threats in the surrounding area. Yang Rui and Liu Dan continued to rapidly push forward, each time paying a small price to take down a city.
