Yang Rui also had to pay for the transportation missions issued by the merchant alliance. At the same time, the merchant alliance's rating points could be earned. Once the points were accumulated to a certain extent, the merchant's rating in the merchant alliance would be increased.
As for the merchants who weren't members of the merchant alliance, the merchant alliance would also give priority to the granting of membership. At this point, the merchant alliance that Yang Rui advocated had already begun to implement a strict entry system. After the merchant alliance members had exceeded 3000 merchants, the approval process had become extremely complicated and cumbersome.
At the same time, even if the merchants weren't members of the merchant alliance, Yang Rui still allowed them to earn 50% more than the daily missions to encourage the merchants to be more motivated.
In reality, Yang Rui didn't have to put in so much effort. The merchants who wanted to increase the rating of the merchant alliance or join the merchant alliance had already taken the initiative to contact the merchant alliance after Yang Rui issued missions through the merchant alliance. They had also formed employment relationships with the merchant alliance in order to earn more points.
This kind of thing would not be for nothing and would be recognized by the Merchant Alliance. Even in the cold winter, the Shang Family still made it a hot topic. As a result, Yang Rui's ability to transport heavy supplies and provisions increased by a large margin.
Of course, as the merchant alliance system continued to improve, Yang Rui naturally wouldn't use the merchant alliance's name directly. Instead, he would apply for missions through the merchant alliance members and the merchant alliance would issue missions uniformly. However, the entire merchant alliance was already in Yang Rui's pocket. He just had to go through the procedures.
With the improvement of the transportation ability, at the last moment of Yang Rui's ten game days to prepare for the war against Yuan Shao, all the supplies were basically in place. This also ensured that Yang Rui's crusade against Yuan Shao would be carried out on time.
Yang Rui's act of entrusting the merchant alliance with the distribution of supplies and the management of the business had actually improved the function and function of the merchant alliance. Before this, no merchant alliance member had done such a thing.
On the other hand, Yang Rui also took the opportunity to set the membership requirements for the merchant alliance's missions as' A 'or' 2 '. At the same time, they also had to freeze 100,000 East Sea gold coins when applying for the relevant business.
The requirements for 'A' or '2' business were to have a registered capital of more than 1,000,000 gold coins and a good relationship with Yang Rui. There were only a handful of merchant alliance members who met these two requirements.
In fact, no matter the time, the supply of supplies was a very sensitive part. When two armies faced off against each other, their supplies were handled very secretly. However, Yang Rui didn't hesitate to hire merchant alliance members to transport the supplies. He wasn't worried that the relevant information would be obtained by Yuan Shao.
Yang Rui had perfect and sensitive information channels in his hands. Even if the other party knew about the movement of Yang Rui's grain transportation, it would not be easy for them to do anything against it.
At the same time, Yang Rui's attack on Yuan was similar to his previous attack on Cao Cao. He needed to find the other party's main forces to effectively engage in a decisive battle. Even if the other party knew of his movements and was prepared, it was exactly what Yang Rui needed.
"Send out the troops! Eliminate Yuan Shao! "
On the newly built high platform on the bank of the Yellow River north of Puyang City, after Han Fu condemned Yuan Shao of Ji Province at length, and after Guo Jiaxuan announced the appointment of the various generals, Yang Rui, who was in the middle, only said six words.
Below the simple high platform on the mound, Yang Rui's troops below the platform moved in an orderly manner following Yang Rui's order. First, the cavalry at the rear turned their horses around and followed the various commanders across the ice. The middle army soldiers near the high platform also turned around in unison, facing the north in the direction of the Yellow River, preparing to set out in succession.
At the same time, on the other bank of the Yellow River north of Pingyuan City, almost the same scene was playing out. The only difference was that it was Yang Rui's doppelgänger who was in charge here. The one who instigated the punitive expedition was Xu You and the one who announced the appointment was Du Yang.
This time, Yang Rui's punitive expedition against Yuan Shao of Jizhou was to take multiple routes together. Puyang and Pingyuan were the two main bases for the expedition to the north. In addition, the troops in Henei Commandery and Bohai Commandery could also be dispatched at any time to cooperate with Yang Rui's main force to threaten Yuan Shao of Jizhou.
The reason why Yang Rui took the oath ceremony this time was mainly to use it to mobilize the troops and mobilize the morale of the army. It was different from the last punitive expedition against Cao Cao.
In fact, there was no need for Yang Rui to say more. This time, Yang Rui used the Northern Mobile Corps to fight against Yuan Shao. They had been facing Yuan Shao's forces in the north for many years. There was a lot of entanglement and hatred. Yang Rui's oath ceremony ignited this kind of emotion even more.
Suddenly, Yang Rui's troops only felt that Yuan Shao was simply full of evil and hatred. A kind of high spirited and happy mood quietly spread among Yang Rui's troops.
Although the weather had warmed up a bit, Rome wasn't built in a day. The extent of the Yellow River's ice hadn't changed in the slightest. Therefore, Yang Rui and the Yuan troops were able to take large strides and directly cross the ice surface. There was a kind of valiant and high-spirited grandeur.
In reality, the few counties on the northern bank of the Yellow River in Ji Province were still under the control of Dragon Soul and other large player organizations. This included Beiqiu County, Wei County, Guantao County, and Nehuang County.
Beiqiu County was located in Ji Province's Qinghe Country and was not too far away from Pingyuan County. Wei County, Guantao County, and Nehuang County were located in Ji Province's Wei County. Nehuang County was almost directly opposite Puyang County across the river.
Therefore, when Yang Rui's troops set out from Puyang County and Pingyuan County, they would not immediately face Yuan Shao's troops in Ji Province. There was still a certain amount of buffer time and area.
Zhao Yun and Yu Jin's vanguard cavalry set out from Puyang County. 60% of Yang Rui's troops also set out from Puyang County. Then, they would first pass through Nehuang County. During this time, Yang Rui still had to discuss with Dragon Soul about the distribution of the punitive expedition.
The one million troops promised by Dragon Soul and other large player organizations had already arrived. This was the advantage that the players had. They had the ability to resupply themselves. As long as the relevant information was communicated, they did not need to set out together. Instead, they could fight on their own. They only needed to rush to their destination within the stipulated time.
On the other hand, Zhang Liao's vanguard cavalry set out from Pingyuan County. Yang Rui's doppelganger led 40% of the central army and followed from behind. Unlike Yang Rui's troops, this troop would not come into contact with the player organizations. Instead, they would go straight to Jiamu County, which was located opposite Pingyuan County. They would use this place as a node to attack Yuan Shao.
Therefore, Yang Rui's first battle in Ji Province would take place in Jiamu County. For this reason, Yang Rui assigned the strongest generals in the central army, including Gan Ning, Guan Hai, and Dian Wei, to this direction.
