Truth be told, Liu Bei was a perfect example of someone who started from scratch. From the beginning until the end, Yang Rui did not have any negative feelings towards him. It was only because of Zhang Fei's interference that Yang Rui's impression of Liu Bei changed.
It had to be said that people's likes and dislikes were very strange. Previously, Yang Rui had come into contact with people like Zuo Feng. However, his feelings toward Liu, Guan, and Zhang were a little strange.
"General Blazing Sun, I have a request. I wonder if …"
Liu Bei hesitated for a moment before cupping his fist and speaking again. However, he stopped halfway through his words.
"Just say it!"
Seeing Liu Bei's hesitation, Yang Rui felt that it was a waste of time. He cupped his fist and replied.
"If that's the case, please forgive my rudeness."
Hearing Yang Rui's words, Liu Bei could finally continue the topic. After some hesitation, he decided to tell him about the matter.
"I heard that General Blazing Sun has a strong cavalry unit. There are 1,500 of them! Currently, there are many scattered Yellow Turbans on the road to Jizhou. Their numbers are sometimes high and sometimes low. Due to the lack of cavalry and horses, it is difficult to investigate them.
Therefore, I would like to invite General Blazing Sun to be the vanguard to clear the road ahead so that we can reach Jizhou as soon as possible and wipe out Zhang Jiao and his bandits. I wonder if General Blazing Sun can make an appearance? I believe that if General Blazing Sun were to make an appearance, you would be invincible! "
After beating around the bush, Liu Bei finally revealed the matter. He wanted to use Yang Rui's cavalry to clear the road ahead so that the army could move forward more easily. Yang Rui had heard about this before he was invited. Therefore, he was not surprised.
However, Liu Bei only praised Yang Rui and did not give any other promises. In other words … Asking Yang Rui to be the vanguard was not even a normal mission. There were no mission rewards.
"Blazing Sun will go now! Goodbye! "
Yang Rui agreed without hesitation. It was inconvenient for Yang Rui to follow behind Liu Bei. The soldiers in his Sumeru Ring would be released once every twenty-four hours. At the same time, it was not convenient for Yang Rui to use his free time to practice the Beginner's Qi Cultivation Technique.
At the same time, according to Yang Rui's observation. There were not many yellow turbans on the way to Ji Zhou. For Yang Rui, they generally did not pose any threat. Therefore, Yang Rui did not decline and directly agreed.
In truth, even without Yang Rui as the vanguard, Liu Bei's Army's advance speed would not change much. Originally, Liu Bei's army would be able to reach the vicinity of Guang Zong within twenty days. The impact on Lu Zhi would not change. Their progress would not be accelerated because of Yang Rui.
"Blazing Sun is such a righteous man!"
Before Yang Rui could step out of the door, he could hear Liu Bei sighing from afar. Although Liu Bei was talking to himself, everyone present could hear him clearly. Even Yang Rui could hear him. Perhaps Liu Bei did it on purpose.
Liu, Guan, Zhang and all the NPCs and Players present, including Yang Rui, did not expect that ever since Liu Bei met Yang Rui as a commoner, Yang Rui and Liu Bei would always be in an awkward position. However, this was something that no one had expected! Of course, this is a story for another time …
After Yang Rui came out from Liu Bei's tent, he mobilized 1,500 mounted soldiers to open up a path for Liu Bei's army.
"System prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully conquered the Han Ting Faction's territory – Three Rivers Town. You have obtained 1,000 merit points. You have obtained 1,000 merit points … "
Along the way, Yang Ruishuai had also made some gains. Although the Yellow Turban army in Youzhou was not as powerful as the other regions, it had still occupied many villages and towns. Thus, Yang Ruishuai's army easily subdued these villages and towns, earning a lot of merit points and points without much effort.
Apart from that, Yang Rui had also inadvertently saved two horse peddlers in the northeast area of Yi County. From there, he was able to sign an agreement with them to supply 500 horses a month. It could be said that it was an unexpected surprise.
You Province was a breeding ground for horses. Additionally, it was not far from Qiang Hu. Therefore, the resources for horses were much more abundant. Therefore, it was relatively easy to obtain horses. Even so, horses were restricted by the Han Dynasty. Regardless of whether it was Yan Province or You Province, it was not easy to purchase horses on a large scale.
Therefore, even though Yang Rui had saved the horse traders from the Yellow Turbans, they were still indebted to him. Yang Rui was greatly indebted to them, but the two horse merchants only promised to provide Yang Rui with 500 horses every month, and the price of each horse was about 1000 silver coins!
Originally, they only sold horses for 800 silver coins in You Province. However, the price had risen significantly in Yan Province! The reason of the horse dealers was that Yan Province was far away from Youzhou Province, so they rarely sold horses to Yan Province!
Even so, Yang Rui was already very satisfied with this stable source of horses! Yang Rui had only managed to buy over 1,100 horses from A Pint of Incense after several months of trying to get them. Each horse cost more than 1,000 silver coins! In addition to the three to four hundred horses that Yang Rui had bought from the market, he had barely managed to gather 1,500 Fourth Grade cavalry!
If it weren't for the limitation of horses, Yang Rui would have been able to advance to Fourth Grade much faster! Now, he only had Fourth Grade cavalry skill books, weapons, equipment, and many riding skill books. The only thing he lacked was horses!
The agreement that Yang Rui signed with the horse traders was protected by the system. As long as they were not interfered with by the Imperial Court or undefeatable factors, they could be considered a stable source of horses! In the future, when Yang Rui developed his cavalry, he might have to use these horse traders often!
Just like that, ten days passed. Yang Rui led the cavalry in front of Liu Bei's army, clearing out the Yellow Turban forces along the way. They passed through Yixian, Fanyang, Jizhou, west of Gaoyang, east of Zhongshan, Anguo, Anbang, Anping, all the way to Guangzong.
There were fewer Yellow Turbans in Youzhou. Yang Rui was able to reclaim a lot of territory, including a dozen large towns. After entering Ji Province, the number of Yellow Turbans increased drastically. Yang Rui's speed was much slower than before. There were a few times when he was almost surrounded by Yellow Turbans that were several times larger than him. Yang Rui only managed to break out of the encirclement with the speed of his horse!
As the number of Yellow Turbans increased, Yang Rui also gained a lot of merit and credit points along the way! On the one hand, killing Yellow Turbans gave him four to five thousand merit and credit points every day. On the other hand, the rewards from reclaiming territory for Han Ting's faction were almost equal to this, and sometimes even more! In total, Yang Rui had gained over 90,000 merit and credit points. It was definitely more than what he had gained by hiding behind Liu Bei!
By the time Yang Rui led his cavalry to set up camp at the border between Anping and Julu, Liu Bei and most of the players had yet to reach Anping. The rear army had just passed through Gaoyang City!
It could be said that Anping Country was overflowing with Yellow Turbans. Anping City had been under the control of the Yellow Turbans ever since the Yellow Turbans broke out. The pressure from the Yellow Turbans was very great. Yang Rui chose an advanced village and settled down there. Then, he began to kill the Yellow Turbans while waiting for Liu Bei's Army to arrive.
Though the Yellow Turban forces were everywhere, and the advanced village that Yang Rui resided in was often harassed by the Yellow Turban forces, Yang Rui had no problem defending his territory with the forces he had with him. Unless a massive Yellow Turban army attacked, just the one hundred and sixteen Fourth Grade archers that Yang Rui brought with him would be enough to deal with the invading Yellow Turban forces!
Moreover, Yang Rui had also brought a large number of melee soldiers with him! During the day, Yang Rui mainly relied on his archers to defend against the Yellow Turbans. At night, Yang Rui, Li Dong, and the other beginner generals would attack the nearby Yellow Turbans! As a result, Yang Rui's daily harvest of Merit Points and Contribution Points actually exceeded 20,000 points! If it weren't for the arrival of Liu Bei's army, Yang Rui wouldn't have minded staying here for two more days!
Four days after Yang Rui arrived at the border of Julu, Liu Bei had also arrived with his main army and the player army. After resting for half a day, Liu Bei readied himself and headed straight for Guang Zong's Yellow Turbans. He completely ignored the Yellow Turbans that had taken over Anping City!
When Liu Bei approached Guang Zong with over a million soldiers, the new Dong Zhonglang General, Dong Zhuo, received the news that a large number of reinforcements had arrived. Naturally, Dong Zhuo could not hold back and also led his army to attack Guang Zong's Yellow Turbans!
Previously, when Lu Zhi was swapped out and Dong Zhuo was new, Zhang Jiao had seized the opportunity to break out of Guang Zong and joined forces with the surrounding Yellow Turbans. It looked like they were about to launch a counterattack against the Han Ting army! After Liu Bei's army arrived, Zhang Jiao faced pressure from both the north and the south. In just half a day, he retreated back into Guang Zong.
As a result, the north and south of the Han Ting army were able to push into Guang Zong and surround the entire city! It was as if Zhang Jiao had become a turtle in a jar, a lamb waiting to be slaughtered! He was only waiting for Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei to slaughter him!
