Before Yang Rui returned from Yizhou, he naturally left behind a small portion of the wild sugarcane mother material to 101 villages in the central and western part of the island.
After that, Yang Rui first passed by Guangling Prefecture in Xuzhou. Considering the conditions of the wild sugarcane growing there, he also gave the remaining mother material to Han Fu and Gan Ning in Guangling Prefecture. After giving them some instructions, he gave them the priority to try planting there.
Although Yang Rui's territory was not small, the central and western parts of Yizhou were the best places to plant the wild sugarcane. Apart from this, Guangling Prefecture in Xuzhou had the most sunlight and rainfall and was the most suitable place to plant the wild sugarcane.
The wild sugarcane was favored by the savages and could be considered a special economic crop. Yang Rui expected that the economic benefits of the wild sugarcane would not be worse than the sweet potato.
Thus, from the beginning, Yang Rui placed great importance on the planting and cultivation of the wild sugarcane. He hoped to plant and cultivate it in the shortest time possible.
Naturally, the wild sugarcane was different from the sweet potato. At that time, the sweet potato was given to Yang Rui as a prize and was in the seedling state. However, the wild sugarcane was not the same. Planting and cultivating it required a certain amount of exploration.
After settling the matters of planting and cultivating the sugarcane, Yang Rui did not return to Linzi or Chen Liu City. Instead, he directly went to Xinye City.
According to the information sent by Kongling Ninja of the Imperial Patrol, Liu Biao's army to the north had already crossed the Yi River and was approaching Xinye City. The army at the back was also in the process of crossing the river. It was estimated that they would soon be able to pressure Yuan Shu's Xinye City.
Yuan Shu's generals in Xinye city were mediocre. There were only about 20000 soldiers in the city. Liu Biao's army, on the other hand, was led by Wen Pin and assisted by Su Fei.
Wen Pin and Su Fei had more than 100000 soldiers. If they went all out, they would not be able to settle the matter by just losing a city like Xinye city. Perhaps they would reach Shouchun very soon and pose a fatal threat to Yuan Shu.
From Yang Rui's point of view, he had always hoped that Yuan Shu would be able to hold on for a while longer. Thus, when Yang Rui heard that Wen Pin and Su Fei were with Liu Biao, he decided to take action.
No matter how abundant Yang Rui's forces were, it was already too late for him to send troops to Xinye and Yishui.
Even the Xuzhou Gan Ning navy, which was the most convenient, only occupied the section of the Changjiang River downstream from Jiangdu City in Guangling Prefecture, as well as the Huai River basin that connected to the Changjiang River.
It must be mentioned that in the current game background, the Huai River did not directly flow into the sea. Instead, it flowed into the Changjiang River downstream in Guangling Prefecture. It was connected to the Hongze Lake, White Horse Lake and many other water systems. It was not an independent water system like in the future.
With the current strength of the Gan Ning navy, they were not invincible on the Changjiang River. Thus, Yang Rui only allowed them to move around the Changjiang River and the Huai River.
Yang Rui did not have the time to send troops, but he had brought some of his own troops. At this moment, Yang Rui was rushing towards Xinye and Yishui. He wanted to do something to Wen Pin and Su Fei who were crossing the river.
Riding on the Void Crossing Airship, Yang Rui arrived at Xinye County in a timely manner. Reality proved that Yang Rui had arrived at the right time. Wen Pin and Su Fei's army of 100 million had already crossed the river, and the majority of them had already reached Xinye County.
At this moment, only Wen Pin and Su Fei's supplies were still being transported. On the river, there were only ten warships and a few hundred transport ships. Yang Rui immediately saw an opportunity to make his move.
Xiangjiang's tributary, Yishui, was not very wide in reality. However, in the game, one could not see the end of the river. Liu Biao's 10 warships were between the warships and Yishui. They were also very sparse on the Yishui.
Thus, when Liu Biao's 10 warships were crossing the river, they would arrive at the other side of the river. This gave Yang Rui the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
When Yang Rui arrived at the Yishui, he first flew back and forth to check the situation of Liu Biao's troops, warships and supplies. It just so happened that one of Liu Biao's warships had arrived at Xinye County and there were no other warships protecting each other.
Yang Rui was not willing to pass on his responsibility. He immediately stopped the Yishui on the warship. All the generals and 900 scaled soldiers quickly took control of Liu Biao's warship.
Liu Biao's warship was called River Crossing Warship. It was one of the few warships that only used sails. It was suitable for blocking attacks on the river, but its speed was slow.
The River Crossing Warship could carry 900 people. Regardless of its size or layout, it was between Yishui and warships. It could be assumed that its combat power was about the same.
However, when Yang Rui's scaled soldiers boarded the warship, the warship did not show any signs of overloading. This showed that the warship was sturdy and valiant.
Yang Rui's special troops, the scaled soldiers were very skilled in sailing and sailing. Although this was the first time they came in contact with the River Crossing Warship, they quickly familiarized themselves with it.
After that, Yang Rui left behind 900 scaled soldiers on the River Crossing Warship and used the Yishui to cross the river with the rest of the people.
According to the information sent by the Kongling Ninja, the number of Liu Biao's bodyguards on the other side of the river was only about 20000 people. The rest were all military supplies.
If it was not for the fact that it was already late when Yang Rui arrived at the Yishui, he could have used the ships to attack and wait for the remaining supplies to cross the river.
However, as night fell, Liu Biao's remaining troops and supplies were prepared to cross the river until the next day. Yang Rui could not wait any longer.
Under such circumstances, Yang Rui decided to sneak attack Liu Biao's supplies on the other side of the river.
About an hour later, when night had completely fallen, Huang Wudie, Guo Jia, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Mogami Yohime, 16000 Butterfly Swordsmen, and 1500 reincarnated Samurai directly participated in the battle. Battle cries could be heard from the other side of the river.
However, the sound of killing did not last long. Soon after, there was only fire on the other side of the river. Liu Biao's siege weapons, transportation tools and other items were all caught in the sea of fire.
When Yang Rui saw the situation, he did not stay to check the results. Instead, he continued to take control of the remaining River Crossing Warships on the other side of the river. In addition to the previous River Crossing Warship, he had a total of 10 ships.
As for the remaining transport ships, Yang Rui ordered them to sink.
