This time, Cheng Yu's group was also coincidental. Back then, Cai Mao had been captured by Yang Rui's troops, but they had never seen each other before, so they didn't know each other.
No matter what, the matter of Liu Biao's serious illness was confirmed. After Cheng Yu, Zhao Yun, and the imperial guards returned to Luoyang Imperial City, Yang Rui heard the specific details and decided to immediately take control of Nanyang County.
Cheng Yu, Zhao Yun, the imperial guards, and the others present agreed. Even if Liu Biao's illness was not confirmed, Yang Rui would have to take control of Nanyang County sooner or later. Moreover, the time was ripe.
Taking control of Nanyang County was something Yang Rui had done during his conquest of Jingzhou. However, due to the arrival of the origin tide, Yang Rui took the initiative to withdraw from most of Nanyang in order to increase the power of his soldiers.
Later on, even after Yang Rui's army had retreated, Liu Biao did not send people to take over too many territories. He only took control of a few counties near Xiangyang County as a token. It was probably used as an early warning and buffer.
Now that Yang Rui wanted to take control of Nanyang County, the first people he thought of were his old partners, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu. The two of them were currently stationed in Hejian County to help Yang Rui govern the Northern Lands.
Speaking of which, Jia Xu seemed to have an ability called "Silence". He had joined Yang Rui for quite some time now, having joined him along with Zhang Xiu before the origin tide. Yang Rui was delighted at the time, but he didn't think of using Jia Xu after that.
This was similar to Jia Xu's performance in history. He would not appear unless it was a crucial moment. Perhaps it was not Yang Rui's fault for not knowing how to use people. It was just Jia Xu's characteristic.
In fact, the imperial edict sent to Jingzhou had already mentioned that Liu Biao was to send troops to Gangdong Sun Jian. This was the most important condition. However, there were also other statements in the imperial edict.
First, it affirmed Liu Biao's performance in governing Jingzhou. At the same time, it also mentioned a number of issues. One of them was the lack of governance in Nanyang County.
Cai Mao's focus was not on this. Thus, after reading the imperial edict, he only thought that Yang Rui was threatening Jingzhou to send troops to Gangdong Sun Jian. He did not pay much attention to the other contents.
Now, Yang Rui directly accepted the imperial edict and used the name of the Han Dynasty's young emperor, Liu Xie, to issue another imperial edict. The imperial edict detailed that Nanyang County had not been governed for a long time. It seemed that Liu Biao no longer had the ability to govern Nanyang County and could only send someone else to govern.
Thus, Yang Rui easily placed his own people in the positions. Naturally, there was no need to consider other people in terms of candidates. Based on the principle of 'don't use people you don't suspect, don't suspect people', he directly sent Spear King of the North Zhang Xiu and Ghost Talent Jia Xufu to Nan Yang County's Wan City.
Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu had a foundation in Nanyang County. Moreover, the two of them were allies with Liu Biao and were more familiar with Jingzhou's affairs. For example, Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu actively participated in the Operation Moon against Jingzhou.
Of course, the two of them were only the vanguard for Yang Rui to enter Nanyang County. They were responsible for cleaning up the mess. When the time came, they would continue to send others into Nanyang County.
Yang Rui also had a rough idea of the candidates. The Northern Spear King Zhang Xiu would be the first to enter Nanyang County. After that, the Silver Spear King Zhao Yun would be Yang Rui's main consideration. As for the navy, there was Taishi Ci who had an old friendship with the Northern Spear King Zhang Xiu.
At that time, the three generals would work together. As for the advisor, Jia Xu would be enough. Even if he did not send anyone else, he would be able to take over Jingzhou.
After Yang Rui finished discussing, he moved Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu from Hejian County to Luoyang Imperial City. The soldiers and logistics were also being prepared. The imperial edict was also sent to Jingzhou through the eunuchs.
This time, the imperial edict did not allow for teleportation and flying. By the time the imperial edict reached Xiangyang City, Yang Rui would have already sent troops to take over Nanyang County. If Liu Biao was really sick, he might be so angry that he would not be able to catch his breath and would be removed from the gaming world.
Once the preparations for taking over Nanyang County were completed, there would probably not be any battles. Even if there were, it would only be a small scale conflict. Liu Biao might not even have the energy to deal with it.
While Yang Rui was preparing for Nanyang, he also communicated with Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi. Both sides had already reached an agreement on sending envoys to each other.
However, it was still Yang Rui's messengers that played a role. Because the Kongling Shinobi acted as a communication channel, the moment Yang Rui's side made a decision, the Imperial Guards were the first to inform the Kongling Shinobi in Jiangxia.
The Kongling Ninjas in Jiangxia were accompanying their envoys. Naturally, they would be able to inform Liu Qi immediately. By the time Liu Qi sent the message, it would be at least one or two days later.
In the background of the game world, there are some effective communication methods, including carrier pigeons and the like. To a large extent, they are very convenient, but there are not many that can be compared with the efficiency of the ninjas in the Nihon civilization. It can only be said that each civilization has its own strengths.
Similarly, there were some channels in the magic civilization. They could use certain magic to transmit information far away. It was similar to instant messaging. It was also a very powerful method.
At the current stage of the gaming world, Yang Rui was not worried that Liu Qi would be on guard against instant messaging. He could even properly display his strength to deter other forces.
Just like Yang Rui's "Air Force Bomb Squad", almost all forces knew that Yang Rui had such a squad. However, they did not have a good way to deal with it. It had already become a deterrent.
After being informed by Yang Rui, Liu Qi replied that he was prepared to send out troops at any time, forming a pincer attack with Yang Rui's troops in Nanyang. From there, they would 'force the abdication' and help Liu Qi obtain the position of Governor of Jingzhou.
Of course, this was Liu Qi's plan. On the other hand, Yang Rui's subordinates advised Yang Rui to use a timely method to stir up internal strife in Jingzhou. Regardless of whether Liu Biao was seriously ill or not, Liu Biao's title would be stable.
Yang Rui felt that the thin layer of window paper had not been pierced through. At this time, he finally understood the intentions of his subordinates. The action against Liu Biao in Jingzhou was like an arrow on the bow.
