"Lord Prefecture Overseer, the scouting ship has discovered 50,000 cavalrymen and 200,000 infantrymen in Lingbao County. There is a large flag with the word 'Zhang' in the army. Passersby are saying that it is Zhang Ji's army. They are still one and a half days away from Tong Pass..."
After Yang Rui occupied Tong Pass for a game, he sent out a scouting ship and a few soldiers to report.
In the past few days, there were not many movements of Li Jue and Guo Si's troops in the area west of Tong Pass. Most of the troops of the two families were mobilized to the vicinity of Chang'an City. They did not expect Zhang Ji to arrive so quickly.
Under normal circumstances, 50,000 cavalrymen and 200,000 infantrymen was not a small army. It was difficult to defend against them with the current strength of the troops. However, with Tong Pass in their hands, the situation was different.
"I already know. You have done well. Go and register with the army. After the war, there will be rewards.
Also, continue to investigate the movements of Zhang Ji's army and report back immediately. Do not waste the opportunity... "
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"..."
Yang Rui praised the soldiers who brought back the news and sent them to register with the army. He also ordered them to continue to monitor the movements of Zhang Ji's army.
The military was also a new innovation in the military service system. Every county and above had a military establishment. Every time there was a major war, a temporary military establishment would be formed to accompany the army.
This time, when Yang Rui signed up to participate in the storyline, he didn't specifically report the people who would follow the army to record the military merits. It was just that Yang Rui had selected 10 people from the Steel Guards.
Yang Rui had the qualifications to open a mansion. After the military establishment, the contents of the registration were verified by the system. It was of great help to the accurate calculation of military exploits and the exemption of the soldiers from formalities.
Thus, the advantage of having the qualifications to open a mansion was brought into play. It could be said that it brought great benefits to Yang Rui.
Of course, it did not mean that Yang Rui could set up any organization he wanted. There was a limit to the number of organizations that corresponded to the qualifications to open a mansion. It was not much simpler than the various organizations in the real world.
Yang Rui had been lacking manpower and had left many organizations open. This was why it was convenient for him to add the military establishment.
Other than that, the military establishment itself had to meet the standards and standards set by the organization. Otherwise, it could not be set up.
These aspects were very complicated. Most of them were done by Sun Qian. Yang Rui did not delve into the details.
"... How do you think we should deal with this? Ziyi... "
Yang Rui summoned Zhang Ning, Han Dai, Ding Yao, and Taishi Ci, explaining the situation in detail and asking for their opinions. Zhang Ji's army was approaching Tong Pass. Yang Rui asked Zhang Ning, Han Dai, Ding Yao, and Taishi Ci to gather together.
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, Zhang Ji has brought a large number of troops with him, including 50000 cavalrymen. He must be planning to pass through Tong Pass and head towards Chang 'an City.
.............. we Zhang Ji Pass.... is Zhang.......................................
"..."
After Yang Rui asked about it, Taishi Ci stepped forward and gave his opinion. He believed that Zhang Ji would not be able to do anything if they defended Tong Pass. Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao also gave their own opinions. Most of them agreed with Taishi Ci's opinion.
It was worth mentioning that although Yang Rui had chosen the neutral camp, and Zhang Ji was also in the neutral camp, they were not in the same camp. They could attack each other.
The so-called Neutral Faction was actually only for Li Jue and Guo Si's factions. If one did not participate in either faction, they were considered Neutral Factions. This also meant that the Neutral Faction was destined to be a faction by itself and independent of each other.
This also meant that the neutral camp could be enemies with each other. Of course, they could also choose to cooperate with each other. However, it was clear that Yang Rui and Zhang Ji would not be able to easily form a cooperative relationship.
Yang Rui had participated in the storyline to obtain the quest rewards, skill books, and other items. He could not be biased toward Zhang Ji's army. At the same time, Zhang Ji had to pass through Tong Pass to reach Chang'an. Naturally, he would have to take Tong Pass.
Faced with Zhang Ji's army, Yang Rui knew that he had to defend Tong Pass. If he did so, it would be difficult for Zhang Ji to take the pass.
However, if that was all there was to it, it was not a foolproof plan. If Zhang Ji used his superior military strength to confront Yang Rui for a long time and did not force a breakthrough, Yang Rui would very likely fall into a situation of food shortage!
Only Ding Yao thought of this. However, she only mentioned it. She believed that there would be a way out when the time came and did not pay too much attention to it.
"Pass down my orders. The Iron Guards will reduce the number of soldiers on duty. Everyone will change into the uniforms left behind by Guo Si's subordinates. Hang the flag with the word 'Guo'. Close the gates. No one is allowed to leave the city to fight."
Yang Rui, on the other hand, had to consider everything thoroughly. In the end, when everyone present expressed their views, Yang Rui issued a series of military orders.
"Yes, sir!"
"..."
Zhang Ning, Han Dai, Ding Yao, and Taishi Ci were more and more surprised by Yang Rui's orders. The more they listened, the more they felt that it made sense. After Yang Rui finished speaking, they pondered over it for a while before agreeing.
In the process of passing down the orders, Yang Rui was once again enveloped in yellow light. It was just like when he had decided to create a diversion and attack Tong Pass.
Yang Rui's art of war had improved again, although it did not reach the level of a whole new level.
On the other hand, Taishi Ci and the others received Yang Rui's orders and followed Yang Rui's orders. The entire Tong Pass quickly became much more desolate. From afar, the defensive situation looked very bad.
Even the navy ships were stopped not far from the west side of Tong Pass under Yang Rui's orders to avoid Zhang Ji's suspicions.
After a day of gaming, Zhang Ji's 50000 vanguard cavalry had already arrived at Tong Pass. They were much faster than Yang Rui's scouts had estimated. It could be seen that the Xiliang cavalry was not ordinary.
"Hua Lu Lu..."
"Da da da..."
"..."
When Zhang Ji's 50000 vanguard cavalry arrived at Tong Pass and saw the situation at the pass, they could not hold themselves back. A few of the generals went back and forth to check out the situation at the pass and also to show off their strength.
In the time it took to eat a meal, these generals had caused the east of Tong Pass to be covered in dust. Only then did they return to their camp.
On the wall, Yang Rui could see clearly that these generals had no intention of leaving their camp after returning to their camp. Yang Rui knew that it was very likely that they had already decided to attack Tong Pass. As such, he secretly ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle at any time.
