The various vassals had promised to send out their troops and this was an important part of Yang Rui's preparations. However, the announcement of the World War was a little too sudden and there was no main battlefield before this, so it was impossible for them to gather in advance.
As for the amount of troops that they promised to send out, it was very unbalanced between the various vassals and factions. It was obvious at a glance whether their relationship with Yang Rui's faction was good or bad.
Gangdong Sun Jian had promised to send out 200000 troops. Looking at the main battlefield that Yang Rui had chosen, Yang Rui's father-in-law would probably send out more troops than that.
In the current situation, there was no need to care about the relationship between father and son-in-law. Even if Sun Shangxiang was with Yang Rui at this time, Sun Shangxiang had already shown a tendency to side with Yang Rui in the previous two visits.
At the same time, the 10-year friendly non-aggression treaty would not maintain the relationship between Yang Rui and Sun Jian. Once there was a serious imbalance in the strength of both sides and there was a background for war, it was inevitable that both sides would hurt each other.
Liu Dan had promised to send out 100000 troops. However, this number was a little forced and he only agreed to it after Yang Rui's envoy had urged him to do so.
This faction that Yang Rui had nurtured was indeed a little weak. On the other hand, it was threatened by his twin brother Liu Zhang. Therefore, the strength of the troops was indeed affected.
According to the envoy's report, Yang Rui also figured out the third layer of meaning. In fact, Liu Dan had a lot of scruples towards Yang Rui. His subordinate relationship with Yang Rui was largely due to Yang Rui's strength and was not completely from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Dan's twin brother Liu Zhang had a request to ask of Yang Rui. His attitude was more cooperative and his boldness was more open. He straightforwardly took the initiative to send out 100000 troops, which was a little out of Yang Rui's expectations.
This was actually a very normal phenomenon. In the historical facts and novels, Liu Zhang did not give Liu Dan much of a chance. The current performance of the two also showed the gap between their abilities.
Liu Zhang's other role was to spur Zhang Lu's forces in the north of the Shu Lands. Yang Rui had originally promised Liu Zhang to deal with Zhang Lu together. Perhaps he had received some news, but Zhang Lu's reaction was also out of Yang Rui's expectations.
Originally, Yang Rui did not send an envoy to contact Zhang Lu's forces because the Han Dynasty had never recognized the legitimacy of Zhang Lu's forces. However, after Zhang Lu heard some news, he actually sent an envoy to take the initiative to send out 100000 troops.
Yang Rui naturally did not refuse this. This was equivalent to an unexpected addition to his strength. If Zhang Lu wanted to take the initiative to send out troops, Yang Rui would also not refuse.
For this reason, Liu Zhang even repeatedly struggled with this matter. Several times, he negotiated with Yang Rui through the envoys. It was not until Yang Rui repeatedly promised that Liu Zhang was a little relieved.
Zhang Lu had taken the initiative to send 100000 troops as a gesture of goodwill, and Yang Rui had only accepted his request to send troops. However, he had not made any promises to Zhang Lu. He had always thought that Zhang Lu was a rebellious force, and if he allowed him to continue, it might even affect his own forces.
Yang Rui had this understanding because of the different organizational structure of Zhang Lu's forces. When it came to believers, they were often violent and wild. Just like the Yellow Turban Uprising, Yang Rui had no choice but to take precautions.
Thus, Yang Rui's promise to Liu Zhang was not an empty promise. It was just a reflection of his true thoughts. Although Yang Rui would not always allow small forces to exist, he also disdained to lie about such matters.
Liu Biao's stance was worth pondering over. He had also taken the initiative to express his stance. However, the person he expressed his stance to was the Han Emperor Liu Xie and not the Governor-General Yang Rui.
At the same time, Liu Biao did not give a specific amount of troops. He only said that when the time comes, it would be decided based on the scale of the American civilization.
Currently, Liu Biao's situation was very bad. Originally, it was just like Zhuge Liang's analysis. Jingzhou was a place where the four forces were fighting. If one did not have a strong strength, it would be very difficult to control.
Furthermore, Yang Rui had already risen in the North. Gangdong and Sun Jian's forces were also gradually growing and had already gained a foothold. In the West, Liu Dan had also sent troops twice under Yang Rui's arrangement.
Liu Biao's days were not good. He had sent troops to Yuzhou and Yangzhou left behind by Yuan Shu several times in an attempt to cut a piece of the cake. However, it was all to no avail.
Liu Biao's actions were very perfunctory and it was very normal for him to do so. However, in reality, Liu Biao was not the one who shouted the loudest. There were others who shouted even louder.
The most prominent ones were Cao Cao who had retreated to the Northwest and Yuan Shao whose location was unknown. These two people had sent letters to the Han Emperor Liu Xie and hysterically expressed their determination to contribute to the country.
In the previous war, including the evaluation of the three civilizations, it was undeniable that these two people had put in a lot of effort. At the same time, they had played a leading role in calming down several times.
However, as the saying goes, that was then and this is now. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's glorious era had long passed. Currently, Cao Cao had been forced to the edge of the stage by Yang Rui and Yuan Shao had fallen off the stage.
The two of them were has-been heroes, beasts whose claws and teeth had been cut off. Although they were still trying to make their presence known, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they had foresight and foresight to pave the way for a comeback, to a greater extent, they were just struggling before death.
After receiving the letters from the two, the Han Emperor Liu Xie panicked for a moment. He was afraid that he would anger Yang Rui. However, Yang Rui played it down and did not have any intention of venting his anger.
The young Emperor Liu Xie could not understand and Yang Rui did not bother to explain. In his heart, Yang Rui did not care about Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. It was normal that he did not care about them.
Other than those who had promised to send troops or those who had promised to send troops, the other peripheral powers such as the Northwest, Southwest, and Southeast chose to remain silent like the previous war.
Originally, Yang Rui did not expect these powers to participate. From the beginning to the end, Yang Rui did not send out any messengers to urge them. These peripheral powers were something that Yang Rui would deal with sooner or later. As long as they did not take the opportunity to cause trouble, it was fine.
While communicating with the various powers and urging them to send troops, Yang Rui calmed down and started to arrange the main battlefield. All kinds of formations and Qianji Black Armored Troops were set up.
