According to the situation of the Western Shu Topographic Map fragments, Yang Rui estimated that every time he helped Liu Dan take down a county or three counties, he would be able to obtain one. Previously, when Yang Rui took down Jiang Province City, he had obtained one. After taking down three counties, he obtained another one.
What happened next proved this point. After Yang Rui took down Jiang Province City, 14 counties in Ba County, and one county in Fuling County, Yang Rui obtained exactly six copies of the Western Shu Topographic Map fragments.
However, the additional small city that Yang Rui took down near Jiang Province was not included in the calculation. From this, it could be seen that the minimum unit of calculation for the quest target should be a county.
Based on this situation, Yang Rui estimated that if he wanted to obtain the remaining ten copies of the Western Shu Topographic Map fragments, he would only need to take down 30 more cities that were at the county level or above. If the number of counties was included, the number would be reduced.
In other words, Yang Rui only needed to help Liu Dan take down Brazil County and Badong County, and the number of cities he obtained would reach the requirement. Liu Dan's target was these two counties.
Yang Rui believed that this was not a simple coincidence. After a little observation, he discovered that if Liu Dan could occupy Ba County, Brazil County, and Badong County, he would have already included the central and eastern part of Yi Province. He would have enough foothold and confidence.
In the north, he would be able to resist Zhao Gui in Hanzhong County, and in the west, he would be able to resist Liu Zhang in Chengdu City. The situation in Yi Province would become very delicate.
Yang Rui did not have many thoughts about Yi Province for the time being. Whether or not Liu Dan could establish himself in Yi Province did not affect Yang Rui too much. Therefore, Yang Rui fully cooperated with Liu Dan to attack.
It took Yang Rui a total of four game days to take control of Ba County. Afterward, he used Sky City to head straight for Brazil County, hoping to complete the quest of assisting Liu Dan as soon as possible.
In the battle in Ba Prefecture, because Liu Dan had taken down Jiangzhou Prefecture City first, and he had a certain amount of influence within the prefecture, Yang Rui's troops had pushed all the way there and didn't expend much energy.
After they began attacking Brazil Prefecture in the north, the process of conquering the city became much more exhausting. However, Yang Rui had heavy siege equipment and the Sky Castle to ensure the march and logistical supplies. Hence, they were able to conquer the city easily.
At the same time, Liu Dan had already gathered some of his subordinates. Although most of these subordinates were Fourth Grade soldiers, they had always been at the forefront during the siege, preventing Yang Rui's troops from suffering many losses.
After the first game day, Shen Mi and Lou Fa had also arrived at Jiangzhou City and assumed the responsibility of defending the city. Yang Rui used the night to rush back to Jiangzhou City and brought Han Dai, who was stationed in the city, over.
Yang Rui and Liu Dan's progress in Brazil County was not slow. In just five game days, they had conquered all the counties and cities, including Bazhong. It was at this point that Yang Rui brought Han Dai back.
The remaining land in Badong County was much smaller. Liu Dan had also gathered over fifty thousand subordinates. As such, Yang Rui left Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao in Bazhong City, commanding a hundred thousand subordinates to guard against Zhao Gui in Hanzhong to the north.
After that, the conquering of Badong County was not as difficult as expected. Liu Dan's subordinates had already become a force to be reckoned with. Several cities were even immediately offered up when they heard the news, allowing Liu Dan and Yang Rui's subordinates to enter the cities.
As such, the complete control of Badong County was much faster than Yang Rui had expected. It only took three game days to complete. Of course, Sky Castle's ability to transport the troops was the most prominent.
If it were not for Sky Castle's existence, not to mention the rough terrain of Yi Province, even in the Central Plains, it would be impossible to conquer three counties in twelve game days.
After successfully conquering the three counties, Yang Rui had already obtained all sixteen incomplete maps of the Western Shu Topographic Map. In the end, he had combined them into a complete Western Shu Topographic Map.
"Western Shu Topographic Map: Earth-Grade Item. An item that records the geographical information of the entire Yi Province."
The description of the Western Shu Topographic Map was very simple. It was just a very general description. However, it could not hide the fact that it was an Earth-Grade Item.
The complete version of the Western Shu Topographic Map was also worthy of being an Earth-Grade Item. It was the most complete map of Yi Province. It recorded the population, land, forests, three-dimensional terrain, and various resources in the relevant areas in detail. It was definitely not something that an ordinary map could have.
At the same time, the complete version of the map was very accurate. It was no longer like the incomplete version of the map that lacked specific names of places. This allowed Yang Rui to examine the situation and resources of a certain area in Yi Province in detail.
The Earth-Grade Western Shu Topographic Map was like an electronic map in the real world. It could be enlarged or shrunk at will so that the user could understand the detailed situation of a certain area. It was extremely convenient to use.
Yang Rui had obtained the complete version of the Western Shu Topographic Map as if he had obtained a treasure. Such an item would be of great help to both the military and the economy. Even if Yang Rui could not use it himself, it was a priceless treasure to anyone who was interested in Yi Province.
However, Yang Rui did not plan to sell it in the short term unless an item of equal value appeared. Otherwise, Yang Rui would consider it for a while.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Blazing Sun for completing the mission of Reinforcement Liu Dan. Player received one million gold coins from Liu Dan (to be repaid, can be traded for specific items), 100 beauties (can be chosen), 100 pounds of Yi Province jade … Your relationship with Liu Dan has become close …"
After Yang Rui helped Liu Dan obtain the land of Ba Prefecture, Brazil Prefecture, and Badong Prefecture, and obtained the complete version of the Western Shu Topographic Map, he bid farewell to Liu Dan and left. A system notification also appeared.
It seemed that this was the final reward for Reinforcement Liu Dan. In Yang Rui's opinion, the most valuable reward was the one million gold coins. As for the rest, such as beauties and jade, Yang Rui did not think much of it.
Although there were many types of items, it might not be worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Such a final reward was actually not very suitable for Yang Rui's reinforcements. Moreover, the gold coins reward was not something that could be cashed out immediately.
As for the final mention of becoming close to Liu Dan, it might have some value. However, Liu Dan was currently in a state where he could not even take care of himself. In the short term, this kind of "friendship" would not be of much use.
Fortunately, Yang Rui did not suffer many losses during the entire process. The number of soldiers that died was very small. It only delayed the game for a while.
