Gongsun Zan died in the midst of the chaos. His death was a little sudden, a little unjust, and a little unclear. When Yang Rui received the news, he found it hard to believe.
Yang Rui's biggest thought was that Gongsun Zan's "role" in the game had been used up. He felt that if it had been Cao Cao and the others, even if they were also caught in the chaos, they might not have been killed.
According to the actual situation, Gongsun Zan's strength was relatively high. Usually, he would be fine even if he was caught in the middle of the chaos. However, this time, he even lost his life.
Therefore, Yang Rui once again had that strange feeling. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it had something to do with the plot arrangement of the system.
After receiving the news of Gongsun Zan's death, Yang Rui handed over the command of his troops to Guo Jia. Then, Yang Rui and Zhang Ning used the flying pet unit and rushed to Guang Chang County immediately.
As Gongsun Zan's ally, Yang Rui had always maintained a good relationship with him, including their personal relationship. Moreover, there was also the relationship of his daughter, Gongsun Yue 'er.
During Yang Rui's second wedding, Gongsun Zan sent Gongsun Yue 'er over. She was conferred the title of Princess Yingxue, the King of the Eastern Sea. She was also favored by Yang Rui and was an important link between Yang Rui and Gongsun Zan.
Now that Gongsun Zan had suddenly died, Yang Rui naturally did not feel good about it. It was unfair to Gongsun Yue 'er, and it was also a regret for their many years of friendship.
Ji Zhou was about to be flattened by Yang Rui, and Gongsun Zan, who had been oppressed for many years, could finally hold his head high. However, at this critical juncture, Gongsun Zan was one step ahead of him!
When Yang Rui rushed to Guang Chang County, Yuan Shao's troops had basically taken control of the entire city. The main reason was that Gongsun Zan's sudden death had caused his troops to lose their morale. Most of them had directly escaped from the city.
"Release the Heavenly Spirit Flaming Rain!"
Originally, Yang Rui only took a little more than an hour to reach Guang Chang County. He thought that if Gongsun Zan's troops could still defend a remote corner of the city, Yang Rui would think of a way to lead them to resist. However, there were no longer any troops in the city, so Yang Rui directly set the city.
"Phew! Phew! Phew! "
“...?...”
Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Flaming Rain had just finished its cooldown period of six hours, so he used it again. Large amounts of fireballs instantly appeared above Guang Chang County.

“...?...”
Yuan Shao's troops were unlucky. They had just taken over Guang Chang County and had just set up their tents when Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Flaming Rain arrived. Many of the tents were engulfed in a sea of fire.
Even though Yuan Shao had taken great care to clear away flammable items, he couldn't prevent the tents and buildings from being destroyed. Therefore, before the Canglan Great Formation was set up, there was no way to defend against the Heavenly Spirit Flaming Rain.
Yang Rui protected Zhang Ning for more than two hours before Yang Rui's vanguard troops arrived. On the way, the cavalry led by Zhao Yun, Yu Jin, and Gan Ning had even caught up with a portion of Yuan Shao's troops and wiped them out.
Although the vanguard troops had arrived, Yang Rui didn't order them to attack the city like Yuan Shao did. Instead, he started to clean up Yuan Shao's forces around Guang Chang County.
After Yuan Shao arrived at Guang Chang County, he only sent out a few scouts to monitor the situation around the county. Moreover, Guang Chang County had been besieged by Yuan Shao for many days. Most of Yuan Shao's forces had been cleaned up.
Therefore, Yang Rui sent out his cavalry to roam around Guang Chang County. Another reason was to gather Gongsun Zan's troops who had fled. In fact, some of Gongsun Zan's loyal troops had also gathered in one place. Zhao Yun, Yu Jin, and Gan Ning were mainly responsible for gathering these people.
As for the other troops who had fled on their own accord, it was difficult to gather them back to attack the city. Yang Rui ordered a few people to raise the banner of "Kill Yuan Shao to avenge Gongsun Zan". Most of the troops gathered were soldiers loyal to Gongsun Zan.
Yang Rui didn't send the cavalry to attack the city. Yang Rui continued to protect Zhang Ning and wreak havoc with the Fire Rain of Heavenly Spirits. The continuous casting made Zhang Ning's face extremely pale. Yang Rui wanted to stop a few times, but Zhang Ning said that she could still continue.
It was only until Yang Rui's tens of thousands of infantrymen arrived and attacked the most severely damaged Guang Chang County's southern city gate that Yang Rui forcefully stopped Zhang Ning from casting the Fire Rain of Heavenly Spirits.
Even so, before leaving Guang Chang County, Zhang Ning still insisted on plowing the outer and inner city walls. Even if the fire didn't continue to spread on the city walls, they still burned all the materials that could be burned. Wherever they passed, they forced Yuan Shao's troops to retreat from the city walls.
After four hours of casting the Fire Rain of Heavenly Spirits, not only did Zhang Ning's face turn pale, Yang Rui even noticed that Zhang Ning was shivering after she stopped.
Yang Rui hurriedly comforted her and asked whether it was because of the cold spring weather or because she had used too much energy to cast the Fire Rain of Heavenly Spirits. However, Zhang Ning kept insisting that she was fine. Yang Rui first brought her back to the camp that was being set up at the rear.
After returning to the camp, Yang Rui first placed his hand on Zhang Ning's pulse. Unfortunately, he could only sense the pulse's strength and whether it was regular. This was one of the methods to sense one's inner energy from the Soaring Dragon's Inner Qi Sutra: Soul.
After confirming that Zhang Ning should be fine, Yang Rui then invited the army's physician. However, he didn't find anything wrong with Zhang Ning. Yang Rui was slightly relieved and ordered Zhang Ning to recuperate well. He also decided to let Hua Tuo take a look at Zhang Ning after the army returned.
Guang Chang County was ablaze. After four hours of devastation from Zhang Ning's Fire Rain of Heavenly Spirits, most of the Yuan Shao's troops had hidden in the houses. Within the vicinity of the city walls, many of the Yuan Shao's troops were riddled with injuries and most of the buildings had been destroyed.
