In the letter that Yang Rui sent to Liu Dan, he only expressed one thing. That is, he will fully support Liu Dan in unifying Shu. Not only will he provide Liu Dan with provisions and supplies, he will also dispatch troops from the river to assist him when necessary.
The only request that Yang Rui gave to Liu Dan was for him to interfere with Liu Biao from the rear. Moreover, there was no need for him to use real swords or spears. He only needed to do something to restrain Liu Dan.
Although they were both Han Dynasty clansmen, Liu Yan and Liu Dan did not see eye to eye when they were still alive. Therefore, it was not difficult for Liu Dan to harass Liu Biao.
The most important thing was that Liu Dan's situation was already very good at this time. Liu Zhang, who was competing with him for territory, was now facing the strong challenge of Zhang Lu, who was constantly growing stronger. He did not have much energy to deal with Liu Dan.
In fact, Liu Zhang was facing Liu Dan and Zhang Lu's forces in the North and South respectively. In comparison, his situation was even more difficult.
Only two days later, Yang Rui's flying pet unit brought back Liu Dan's reply. The other party could not resist the temptation of Yang Rui's conditions and directly agreed to Yang Rui's conditions.
From the beginning, Liu Dan was supported by Yang Rui. Moreover, there were some agreements between the two. Now, even if Yang Rui ordered him to do something, the other party could not refuse.
Yang Rui's plan to unify the territory with Liu Dan as the focal point was not empty. On one hand, it was naturally to cut off Liu Bei's path of retreat. On the other hand, it was to pave the way for the tripartite situation of the three civilizations in the shortest time possible.
The upcoming war between the United States and the three civilizations as well as the scattering of the force in the real world required Yang Rui to stabilize the situation of the three civilizations in the shortest time possible.
The remaining few days of the game quickly passed. Since the first rays of the morning sun began to shine, the people in the three civilizations felt a trace of abnormality. Just like Guo Jia's conclusion from observing the weather, the temperature suddenly rose. By noon, there was a trace of the scorching hot feeling of summer.
According to the actual season in the game, the weather should have melted by now. However, due to the unusually harsh winter, the cold weather continued to persist.
However, the change of seasons seemed to have happened overnight. The temperature had changed from a harsh winter that was rarely seen in a hundred years to a hot summer. This was a very unusual weather, and it was the first time Yang Rui had seen it in the game.
This situation was somewhat similar to the real world after the environment was destroyed. It was almost impossible to find the shadow of spring and autumn. The seasonal characteristics changed very quickly. In comparison, the temperature change in the game was more abrupt.
The temperature suddenly rose. Some of the snow and ice quickly showed signs of melting. After noon, there were even the sounds of melting snow and ice everywhere. The sound of ice breaking, and the sound of flowing water filled the air. A large area of ice had begun to melt.
Yang Rui's location was in Ye County City. As it was located at the southern end of Ji Province, the situation was more obvious. At this time, Yang Rui led 300,000 troops here and prepared to attack the city at any time.
"Kacha! Kacha …. "
"Splash …."
“.....”
Outside the walls of Ye County City, one could hear the sound of ice melting on the reinforced walls. After the melting, the ice water also gathered into small streams and continued to flow down along the walls.
Although the water flow wasn't big, it extended to the walls near the moat, causing a layer of water to accumulate on the moat. Some of the water was melted from the moat itself, while most of it flowed down from the walls.
The defenders of Ye County City, Yuan Shao, had long realized that something was wrong. The temperature suddenly rose. They had already started to clean up the ice debris that had fallen down. However, they had spent a lot of effort to reinforce the walls. Now, it took several times more effort to clean it up.
The defenders in the city could only clean up some of the debris that had fallen down or take the initiative to destroy some of the parts that were about to collapse. They couldn't do anything to the entire wall. After all, three feet of ice wasn't formed in a day. Although the wall had begun to melt, it was still difficult to tear it down in a short period of time.
Yang Rui had also underestimated the melting speed of the reinforced walls. Especially after a large amount of melted water was left on the walls, Yang Rui even thought that the entire wall would soon collapse. However, the troops who were prepared to attack the city waited for an entire day in vain. Even after dusk, not a single part of the wall couldn't hold on.
The temperature did rise rapidly, but the ice needed time to melt. According to the news from the Empty Spirit Secret Ninja, the ice on the Yellow River further south had only melted a small layer.
At this rate, Yuan Shao's fortified cities wouldn't collapse so easily in three or four days.
Yang Rui's plan was to take down these cities while the fortified walls were destroyed. However, it seemed like it wouldn't be possible to do it in one go.
Fortunately, the ice line offensive that Yang Rui and the others discussed wasn't a big problem.
According to the information from the Empty Spirit Secret Ninja, the ice walls in the northern Yuan Shao fortified cities were melting at a much slower rate. The northernmost cities hadn't even started melting yet.
Yang Rui also learned about the situation in Ganling County City on the east road through his clone. Although the ice wall was showing signs of melting, it was melting much slower than Ye County City.
Only in this situation could they ensure that the ice line offensive would continue. Yang Rui's troops would advance while the ice on the cities melted.
Facing the situation in Ye County City, Yang Rui had no other choice. He could only wait for the ice walls to continue melting to reduce the difficulty of the siege. At the same time, the collapse of the ice walls would cause quite a bit of trouble for the defending troops.
At the very least, the shooting holes and cat ear holes that Yuan Shao's troops had prepared within the icy sand walls were no longer needed. The collapse of the walls would cause Yuan Shao's troops to lose their foothold in defending the city. With large amounts of icy sand falling down and unable to be cleaned up in time, it would be strange if the original city walls were not submerged.
"My Lord, we don't need to wait for the ice sand wall to collapse on its own. We can start a fire and give them a hand …"
