Cheng Yu had lived in the Gourd Valley in Mountain Town for about three years (including the plot progression). When he left, he urged Li Dong to pledge allegiance to Yang Rui. That was how a few junior generals pledged allegiance to him! Even though Yang Rui was not very clear about this, he could feel it. Therefore, his attitude was different!
"Oh, Blazing Sun is here!"
Cheng Yu was surprised when he heard about Yang Rui's appearance from Bao Xin. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he looked at him carefully and nodded with a smile. Although it seemed like a casual sentence, it revealed that they were very close.
Everyone at the table knew that Yang Rui and Cheng Yu were very close. When they drank, they could not help but urge each other to drink more!
"Generals, it must have been a bumpy journey for you to come to our aid. Please accept this as a token of my appreciation!"
After a few rounds of drinking, County Magistrate Chen took out three small wooden boxes and gave them to Bao Xin, Yang Rui, and Yu Jin as a token of his gratitude! It could be considered as a reward for completing the mission! However, the timing of this celebration banquet was not very suitable. County Magistrate Chen was just expressing his enthusiasm, so they did not drink much and dispersed to rest!
Yang Rui and Cheng Yu went to the County Minister's Mansion together. Since Cheng Yu saw through County Minister Wang Du's intention to pledge allegiance to the Yellow Turbans, County Magistrate Chen gave the County Minister's Mansion to Cheng Yu. He temporarily exercised part of the County Minister's Mansion to defend against the attacks of the Yellow Turbans!
"After we parted, I often remember the days when I was studying in the Gourd Valley. At that time, I disturbed Blazing Sun many times and received many gifts from Blazing Sun. I would like to thank Blazing Sun!"
Cheng Yu brought Yang Rui to the study room of the County Minister's Mansion and sat down casually in front of the table.
"Sir, you're being too polite! It is our honor to be enlightened by Mister. Ever since Mister left, Blazing Sun has been very concerned about you … "
After the two talked for a while, Cheng Yu changed the topic and talked about the current Yellow Turban situation.
"What is Blazing Sun's plan to fight against the Yellow Turban Bandits? Are you preparing to serve the Han Court together with Bao Xin? "
Yang Rui didn't know why Cheng Yu would ask such a question. After thinking for a while, he decided to tell the truth.
"This time, Blazing Sun came to Dong Ah's aid with Sir Ji Bei Xiang. Firstly, by chance, Blazing Sun happened to know the two famous generals, Bao Xin and Yu Jin. Because of this, he took the initiative to contact them and came to Dong Ah's aid. Secondly, Blazing Sun came to Dong Ah because he heard about Mister's actions in Dong Ah and wanted to pay a visit … "
After hearing Yang Rui's second reason, Cheng Yu laughed. It was unknown if he really understood Yang Rui's meaning.
"As for my next plan, Blazing Sun doesn't plan to serve the Han Court! I hope Mister can give me some advice! "
Cheng Yu nodded after hearing this. He nodded and said, "Lie Yang's plan is also appropriate!"
At this point, Cheng Yu actually stood up and left. He personally went to brew two cups of tea before sitting down again.
"How does Blazing Sun think the Yellow Turban Bandits' uprising will develop?"
As a player, when asked such a question, he naturally had a lot of answers! Yang Rui analyzed the situation from several aspects, including the timing of the uprising, the main body of the uprising, and the leadership style. In the end, he gave Cheng Yu an answer: the Yellow Turban Bandits will definitely lose!
After hearing Yang Rui's words, Cheng Yu nodded. He thought that Cheng Yu would agree, but who knew that Cheng Yu's next words were out of Yang Rui's expectations.
"Blazing Sun's words are reasonable. I believe that the Yellow Turban Bandits' fate will not be too different from what Blazing Sun said! But Blazing Sun neglected a very important factor! That is the people's hearts! "
Cheng Yu took a sip of tea and continued, "Since ancient times, winning the hearts of the people means winning the world. Although the Yellow Turban Bandits have a lot of immaturity and shortcomings, but before the uprising, the Peace Path preached very deeply in Yan Zhou, Qing Zhou, and Xu Zhou. In the beginning, they did a lot of good deeds to save the dying and heal the wounded. Because of this, they were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! "
"Oh?"
Yang Rui did not expect Cheng Yu to say this, and did not know what his intention was.
"Anything related to the hearts of the people is like planting a seed in the soil. As long as the environment is suitable, it will germinate at any time! The Yellow Turban Bandits are the same. It is not something that can be suppressed overnight! Especially around Yan Zhou, according to my observation. Even if the Yellow Turban Bandits temporarily calm down, they may rise again in the future! What does Blazing Sun think? "
"This …"
Yang Rui did not know how to answer for a while. Just now, he had analyzed a lot of the Yellow Turban Bandits' failure, but now that he thought about it, he had indeed neglected the later activities of the Yellow Turban Bandits!
Thinking about it carefully, Cheng Yu's words were not wrong. Even in the real history, the Yellow Turban Bandits continued to rise for more than ten years after the Yellow Turban Bandits Uprising! Especially around Yan Zhou, Qing Zhou, and Xu Zhou. Just like what Cheng Yu said, the Yellow Turban Bandits only really died down after a long time!
"As the saying goes, eliminate all evil. I want to use thunderous methods to wipe out all the Yellow Turban Bandits in Dong Ah County, Juping County, Tai Shan County, and even the entire Yan Zhou, so that the seed of the Yellow Turban Bandits will never have the soil to grow again! This is also a little bit of selfishness towards the elders in my hometown! However, it is difficult to do it alone, so I can only passively defend myself! I wonder if Blazing Sun is willing to join hands with me? "
Cheng Yu changed the topic and was about to give Yang Rui a quest!
"Of course!"
Yang Rui accepted the quest without hesitation! It had been a long time since he triggered a unique quest from a specific NPC, and this time the quest was given by Cheng Yu!
"That's great! Within ten days, Blazing Sun will be able to return to his territory to mobilize his troops. He will need more than 20,000 Military Points to complete the quest! When Blazing Sun arrives, I can use the name of an alliance to mobilize the soldiers in Dong Ah County to eliminate the Yellow Turban Bandits together! "
Actually, ever since Cheng Yu successfully exposed County Magistrate Wang Du's plan to defect to the enemy, he had gained County Magistrate Chen's trust and almost completely controlled the military power in Dong Ah County! Now, he only needed a reasonable reason to mobilize the troops!
Now that the Yellow Turban Bandits in Dong Ah County had been eliminated, Bao Xin and Yu Jin ordered their troops to rest in Dong Ah County for a day. They only left with their troops the next morning! Yang Rui accompanied them in Dong Ah County for another day to improve their relationship!
Before Bao Xin left, he asked Yang Rui again if he wanted to go to other places to eliminate the Yellow Turban Bandits so that they could work together! Of course, Yang Rui politely rejected him with the reason that he was still at home. In fact, Yang Rui really wanted to continue working with the two of them and see if he could recruit one of them!
However, with Yang Rui's strength and the current situation, it would be difficult for him to achieve a breakthrough in a short period of time! Between Yu Jin, Bao Xin and Cheng Yu, Yang Rui felt that it was more practical to work with Cheng Yu to eliminate the Yellow Turban Bandits in the surrounding area!
"Even if you accompany me for a thousand miles, we will still have to part. Take care, Minister Ji Bei! Farewell, Wen Ze! "
"Blazing Sun, please stay! I'm sure we'll meet again someday! "
"General Blazing Sun, please stay! I look forward to our reunion!"
After sending Bao Xin and Yu Jin off and parting ways, Yang Rui also bid farewell to Cheng Yu and County Magistrate Chen. He quickly rushed to Juping County so that he could gather enough men as soon as possible to complete Cheng Yu's mission!
From Dong Ah County to Juping County, there were a lot of Yellow Turban Bandits. Most of the Yellow Turban Bandits that had fled previously were active in the lower mountains and hills of Mount Tai. However, with Yang Rui's strength, it was easy for him to travel! If he encountered a small group of Yellow Turban Bandits, he would directly lead the soldiers to eliminate them. If he encountered a large group of Yellow Turban Bandits, Yang Rui would put all the soldiers into his Storage Ring and run as far as he could!
Therefore, Yang Rui either barged his way through or took advantage of the gaps. It only took him about half a day to reach the checkpoint at the entrance of Ao Lai Valley in Mountain Town! After mastering the riding skill, it was much more convenient. If it was in the past when he did not have a horse, it would have taken him an entire day to complete the journey!
The 20,000 combat power that Cheng Yu had requested was not difficult for Yang Rui. However, if he were to mobilize so many soldiers at once, the defense of the two small towns would be very weak. Therefore, on his way back, Yang Rui thought of a way to recruit a large number of Beginner Generals!
Previously, from the [Battle of Yingchuan] regional mission, Yang Rui had brought back 33 sets of Basic Neigong Heart Sutra and related skill books. He had already asked Wang Hai to prepare the candidates to be promoted to Beginner Generals!
However, until now, none of the candidates that Wang Hai had selected had reached Level 30! The four or five candidates with the highest level were only Level 27 or Level 28!
Among the ranks of the soldiers, the first 10 levels were the easiest to level up. If there was someone to guide them, they could reach that level in about an hour. It was not difficult to go from Level 10 to Level 20 as well. It would only take less than half a day!
However, going from Level 20 to Level 30 would take a little longer! It would be difficult to reach Level 30 without at least ten days to half a month! Currently, the four or five Level 27 and Level 28 candidates were all selected by Wang Hai from the Level 10 players who had not changed their class yet. Therefore, they were able to level up faster!
Yang Rui was not in a hurry. After all, the time limit that Cheng Yu had given for the mission was ten days. There were still eight days left! Previously, most of the Beginner Generals candidates had already spent eight to nine days to level up. He believed that they would reach the standard in less than seven to eight days!
During this time, Yang Rui took the opportunity to eliminate the Yellow Turban forces around the territory to eliminate and reduce their threat to the territory. At the same time, he could earn Merit Points and Contribution Points! In order to earn more Merit Points and Contribution Points, Yang Rui went back to his old business and started to conquer villages with the Yellow Turban forces.
Destroying the Yellow Turban forces in the villages gave Merit Points and Contribution Points. At the same time, conquering the villages also gave Merit Points and Contribution Points as rewards. This was probably the simplest and most effective way to earn Merit Points and Contribution Points outside of the regional storyline!
During his free time, Yang Rui used it all to practice the Basic Neigong Heart Sutra. Sometimes, when he felt like it, he would also perform a few special skills to quickly increase his strength!
