The two system announcements clearly stated that the two leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, had been killed by Cao Cao and Liu Bei's forces! Yang Rui happened to witness the entire process of Zhang Liang's death.
Yang Rui had originally been chasing after the fleeing Yellow Turban Army downstream. With the speed of his Fourth Grade cavalry, Yang Rui and his men quickly reaped the lives of the fleeing Yellow Turban Army. Yang Rui only sent four beginner generals to lead a few dozen riders to pick up the loot. The rest of his men slaughtered their way through the fleeing Yellow Turban Army.
Soon, Yang Rui's men were at the very front of the fleeing Yellow Turban Army. In the end, Yang Rui set his sights on a dozen mounted Yellow Turban Generals and quickly chased after them. The value of Generals was still relatively high. They were guaranteed to drop Inner Force Mantras and Special Skill Books. Every time he killed a General, it was almost equivalent to obtaining a General. It was just that he needed to spend some time choosing, leveling up, and changing classes.
After the dozen or so Yellow Turban Generals that were targeted by Yang Rui discovered Yang Rui and the others, they also used their horses to run for their lives in order to win a chance of survival. In such a chase, Yang Rui actually caught up with Zhang Liang and the others who were fleeing at the front.
Yang Rui saw Zhang Fei fighting a Yellow Turban Warrior without a victor being decided. Guan Yu was watching the battle from the side. While he was surprised, the Yellow Turban Warrior was knocked off his horse by Zhang Fei's spear. The system announcement also appeared. It was only then that Yang Rui learned that the Yellow Turban Warrior Zhang Fei was fighting against was Zhang Liang!
The dozen Yellow Turban Generals who were running at the very front naturally saw Zhang Fei killing Zhang Liang. They were afraid of Zhang Fei's strength. The dozen Yellow Turban Generals couldn't help but pause for a moment. It was this pause that Yang Rui and his men took advantage of. He caught up with them from behind and finished them off within a few moves. These yellow turban generals were already at the end of their rope, and their numbers were less than half of Yang Rui's primary generals. Thus, under the pincer attack, they were all killed in two or three moves.
Yang Rui's movement wasn't small, so it naturally attracted the attention of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Noticing the two's gazes, Yang Rui cupped his fists from afar. Guan Yu hesitated for a moment before also cupping his fists in response. However, this was noticed by Zhang Fei who was standing beside him. With a cold snort, he glared in Yang Rui's direction …
Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both rarely seen NPCs, Yang Rui knew their temperaments well enough to know that they wouldn't have much of a connection. Yang Rui also didn't expect to gain any benefits from these two NPCs. Hence, he didn't have any intentions of interacting with them. Therefore, after his soldiers cleaned up the drops of the yellow-turban general, Yang Rui led everyone to turn around and whip their horses to leave.
The defeated yellow-turban soldiers were everywhere. This was the best time to earn Achievement Points, Contribution Points, and Story Quest Verification. Yang Rui naturally wouldn't waste any more time here. Instead, he looked for the place with the most Yellow Turban soldiers and continued his slaughter.
After another two hours, the noisy battlefield on the south bank of Liucong River finally calmed down. Almost all of the defeated yellow-turban soldiers had been killed by Han Ting's forces. Very few of them were able to escape alive.
Yang Rui had also gained a lot from killing the defeated yellow-turban soldiers. He had obtained more than 50,000 merit points and more than 100 Story Mission Appraisals. In addition, he had also obtained a large number of items.
Among them, skill books were the most valuable. There were over seven hundred Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade skill books. There were even twenty-six sets of basic internal cultivation techniques and special skill books, as well as three sets of basic internal cultivation technique books and special skill books. There were also a number of related weapons and equipment!
After the battle on the south bank of Liucong River ended, Yang Rui received two more system notifications. It was the explanation of entering the final Story Quest.
"System Notification: Yellow Turban leaders Earth Duke General Zhang Bao and Human Duke General Zhang Liang have been killed by Han Ting's forces. Region storyline [Battle of Guang Zong] has ended. Region storyline [Battle of Guang Zong] has entered the final phase — — Kill Heaven Duke General Zhang Jiao (Han Ting's Camp)/Protect Heaven Duke General Zhang Jiao (Yellow Turban's Camp). Players, please continue to work hard and complete the next phase of the quest!"
"System Notification: [Battle of Guang Zong] has ended. Congratulations, you have obtained 600 Story Quest Verification (Battle of Guang Zong) in the Kill Zhang Bao/Kill Zhang Liang. Do you accept the final phase of [Battle of Guang Zong] — — Kill Heaven Duke General Zhang Jiao, please make your choice. "
"Confirm!"
“.....”
The reward Yang Rui obtained from killing Zhang Bao's troops was not bad. 600 Story Quest Verification was not a small number. At this point, Yang Rui had obtained 4300 Story Quest Verification in the [Battle of Guang Zong] storyline.
Currently, Yang Rui was the one who knew Zhang Jiao's movements the best. Thus, after receiving the two system notifications, Yang Rui immediately accepted the final Story Quest. However, as long as the flood of Liucong River did not recede, the Han Ting's forces would not be able to cross it and chase after Zhang Jiao's troops. When the flood receded, Zhang Jiao might have already hidden in Quyang City. At that time, Yang Rui would not have much of a chance. He would still need the few NPC leaders in the Han Ting's camp to be the pillars of support.
The other players in the Han Ting's camp must have also received the same Story Quest. They all stopped at the south bank of Liucong River and waited for the flood to recede. At this time, Yang Rui had already hidden in the Advanced Town he had previously occupied. Currently, the last thing he wanted to see was these player forces. If the players knew of Yang Rui's location, they might very well come knocking on his door and ask him questions!
However, while Yang Rui could hide from the players, he could not hide from the NPCs. Some of the Han Ting soldiers had come to the high-grade town that Yang Rui occupied to understand the situation, asking about the identity of the person occupying it. Not long after they left, Yang Rui was summoned by Zuo Zhonglang and Huangfu Song.
"Come, come, Blazing Sun, take a seat."
When Huangfu Song saw Yang Rui, he warmly greeted him. "The few of us originally wanted to use the Advanced Town as our temporary base. However, we did not expect General Blazing Sun to be one step ahead of us. Hahaha …"
"That's right! Blazing Sun really has great foresight. He also acted quickly. "
Before Yang Rui could sit down, he was' ridiculed 'by Huangfu Song and Cao Cao. However, it could be seen that the two of them were in a good mood. This was especially so for Cao Cao. It was rare for him to treat Yang Rui like this.
"Blazing Sun greets Zuo Zhonglang and Qi County Commandant!"
"Now that the Liucong River is flooded, we will only drink to pass the time. Blazing Sun, please take a seat."
Cao Cao gestured for Yang Rui to sit at the table on the left. Although Huangfu Song had said that he would not take a seat today, Yang Rui realized that there were a total of four tables. The two tables on the right were still empty. They were probably reserved for other people.
As expected, Julu's Governor, Feng Yi, rushed over and sat on the seat on Huangfu Song's right. Liu Bei also rushed over. He looked around and realized that only the seat on the right was empty. So, he sat down as well.
In terms of rank, the Governor's rank was two thousand shi while the Qi County Commandant's was only two thousand shi. Feng Yi's rank was higher than Cao Cao's. However, Cao Cao was a general personally appointed by Great Han Emperor. It was normal for him to sit on the left. On the other hand, Liu Bei's role in the Battle of Guangzong was above Yang Rui. He led millions of players and yet he sat at the back. On the surface, he did not seem to have any problems. However, no one knew what he was thinking.
Currently, Yang Rui was a Deputy General while Liu Bei was still a nobody. It was normal for him to sit behind Yang Rui.
"Today, I invite all of you here to drink to your heart's content and get rid of the fatigue from the past few days. Come, let's drink! "
Huangfu Song raised his cup and drank with everyone. At this moment, Liu Bei could no longer sit still.
"Lord Left Lieutenant General, Lord Qi Commandant, Lord Governor Feng, General Lie Yang, I don't know how you are going to pursue Zhang Jiao. Now that the Liucong River is rising, it is almost impossible to cross it …"
Liu Bei stood up and said. His expression was filled with urgency to pursue Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turbans. However, he was interrupted by Cao Cao before he could finish his sentence.
"Liu Yishi, there is no need to worry about the Yellow Turban matter. Right now the two Yellow Turban leaders, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, have already been executed. Zhang Jiao is the only one left, and he is already powerless. We just need to wait for the Liucong River's water to recede, and then we will organize our troops and kill our way over. I believe that Lord Lieutenant General has already made plans for this. Furthermore, Lord Lieutenant General has already said that we will only drink today. Let's drink! Come, Liu Yishi and Cao Man, let's drink … "
After a few cups of wine, Cao Cao was already slightly drunk. He interrupted Liu Bei and urged him to drink another two cups of wine before he stopped.
Sure enough, Liu Bei did not mention the Yellow Turbans War again. He only cared about drinking with everyone. From time to time, he would praise everyone. This was especially true when he talked about Cao Cao. Liu Bei mentioned how Cao Cao killed Zhang Bao several times. Of course, he also mentioned how he killed Zhang Liang.
It was not until Zuo Zhonglang promised Huangfu Song that he would ask Cao Cao and Liu Bei for a reward when they returned to the capital that Liu Bei no longer mentioned this matter. However, he still praised the few people present many times. He even mentioned their performance in the Battle of Guangzong. No matter how big or small, he did not miss out on anything. He made the atmosphere very high and could be considered as a kind of ability.
When Liu Bei talked about Yang Rui, he also mentioned Yang Rui's feat of conquering two cities. One had to admit that Liu Bei gave people the impression that he was very considerate. Huangfu Song was also very appreciative of Yang Rui and the other players taking down two cities in a row. He also said that he would report this to Emperor Ling of Han in the future and ask for credit for Yang Rui.
In this regard, Yang Rui could only express his deep gratitude. In fact, Yang Rui knew very well that Huangfu Song still had a lot of power during the war. Once the Yellow Turban Uprising plot ended, his influence on Emperor Han Ling would be greatly reduced! Therefore, Yang Rui did not care too much about Huangfu Song asking for credit for him. However, Liu Bei should not have realized this yet. He would have to look forward to it in the future.
When the banquet was about to end, a soldier came to report that Liucong River had receded.
