The peace agreement between Yang Rui and Yuan Shili could be said to have benefited from a few aspects.
Firstly, the Western Qiang rebels had agreed to let Yang Rui temporarily occupy Ledu City. This provided Yang Rui with a reliable location to establish himself in Western Liang! At the same time, Beigong Boyu had only planned to open three functional buildings in Ledu City as a last resort. Originally, he could have only opened one or two functional buildings, but Yang Rui had forced Yuan Shili to choose the upper limit.
Regarding this clause, Yang Rui had initially chosen the barracks, the teleportation portal, and the stables. However, the system had notified him that Ledu City was in a special stronghold area and could not open the teleportation portal. Yang Rui had no choice but to change it to the market.
After the market function was opened, it would be quite useful. Currently, Yang Rui was in urgent need of horses. It was easier to obtain horses in Western Liang, but it was more difficult to transport them! After the market function was opened, one could directly place orders for horses at a high price in the market. Then, one could go to the supermarket in Mountain Town to pick them up. If the transaction was not successful, one would only have to pay a limited fee and the system's shipping fee. This way, the process of transporting the horses back to Mountain Town could be saved.
Moreover, the peace agreement stated that Yang Rui could freely carry out the system's' Exterminate the Western Qiang Rebels Mission '. Although the number of people was limited to 2000, it did not affect Yang Rui's need to farm Western Qiang's special forces. Yang Rui wanted to obtain the Fifth Grade Warrior Skill Book. Originally, he only wanted to bring beginner generals.
At the same time, the peace agreement also stated that Yang Rui had to return the civilian NPCs in Ledu City. This did not affect Yang Rui much. In fact, when Yuan Shili had asked to return half of the NPC Liegeman, Yang Rui had taken the initiative to return all of them. Yuan Shili was overjoyed. With this' contribution ', it would be easier for him to report back to his superiors.
Apart from the ten thousand NPCs that had advanced to First Grade Yellow Scarf Soldiers, there were still over 13000 NPC Liegeman left in Ledu City. These Liegeman might be able to temporarily obey Yang Rui's orders and perform some simple tasks. But in reality, it didn't really belong to Yang Rui, so it couldn't be used for normal production. Therefore, it was better to just return it.
There were more than ten clauses listed in the peace negotiation agreement, but most of them were unimportant. However, it was worth mentioning that before the final signing of the peace treaty, Yuan Shili had actually hesitated to convey an important intention of Beigong Boyu — to have Yang Rui submit to him. He even promised Yang Rui the position of Great General!
It was no wonder that Yuan Shili had hesitated. He knew very well that Yang Rui wouldn't submit. Moreover, he had experienced Yang Rui's resolute style before this. Therefore, he was taking a huge risk by bringing this up! However, Yang Rui didn't blame him as Yuan Shili had expected. It seemed like Yang Rui had only been stunned for a while before asking Yuan Shili to stop mentioning this matter. He didn't say anything else!
Yuan Shili immediately took note of Yang Rui's actions. When he returned and met with Beigong Boyu, he made a big fuss about this matter and exaggerated it. This made Beigong Boyu a little uncertain about Yang Rui's specific attitude!
In fact, after Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou rebelled, they were currently lacking in generals. They were sincere in persuading Yang Rui to surrender. However, Yang Rui naturally wouldn't agree to such a thing so easily. He was stunned at the time because he didn't expect Beigong Boyu to have such an attitude.
He had experienced the game in his previous life. Of course, Yang Rui knew that Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou had taken Bian Zhang and Han Sui hostage as generals. However, in the end, most of their forces were controlled by the two of them. It was obvious that Beigong Boyu's plan wasn't completely impossible. However, Yang Rui knew that he couldn't compare to Bian Zhang and Han Sui in terms of strength. Therefore, this path was definitely not feasible for now.
After Yang Rui sent Yuan Shili away, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Since he had already signed a peace agreement with the Western Qiang rebels, he didn't have to worry about the rebel army's counterattack anymore. All Yang Rui needed to do was to evacuate the excess soldiers in the city.
Including the 10000 newly advanced First Grade Yellow Scarf Soldiers, there were currently over 12000 people in Joy City. This number far exceeded the two thousand limit set in the peace agreement. As such, Yang Rui needed to evacuate all the excess soldiers.
After settling the matters in Joy City and storing enough food, Yang Rui stored the 10000 First Grade Yellow Scarf Soldiers and 800 Fourth Grade Archers in his storage ring. He then once again set out on his journey back to Mountain Town.
Meanwhile, Zhang Ning, Li Dong, and twenty other beginner generals, eight hundred Fourth Grade archers, fifty-two Fifth Grade archers, and six hundred Fourth Grade melee infantrymen were stationed in the city. He believed in such a defensive formation. It was more than enough to deal with any attack launched by the Western Qiang rebels with less than two thousand soldiers!
Over the past few days, Yang Rui had reaped quite a bountiful harvest from the defense of Yue Capital. However, after storing over ten thousand soldiers, the space in his storage ring was about to reach its limit. Thus, Yang Rui only carried a few important items with him. The most important ones were the various skill books.
These included six sets of intermediate general class advancement skill books, thirty-three sets of beginner general class advancement skill books, 361 sets of Fifth Grade Warrior class advancement skill books, 62 sets of Fifth Grade Cavalry class advancement skill books (Qiang specialty), 289 sets of Fifth Grade Cavalry class advancement skill books, 630 sets of Fourth Grade Cavalry class advancement skill books, 484 sets of Fourth Grade Infantry class advancement skill books, and 40 sets of Third Grade Archers class advancement skill books.
Most of these skill books were of higher value and were what Yang Rui urgently needed. As for the other low-grade skill books, Yang Rui had left them in the castellan's mansion in Joy City. Yang Rui had originally intended to put these skill books on the market. Unfortunately, there were very few player territories in the Northwest Arid Region. Naturally, there were very few players who could purchase these skill books.
Before he left, Yang Rui remembered to put the 119 Xiliang Fierce Horses on the market. The price was more than twice the current market price. He planned to pick them when he arrived at Mountain Town. This way, after paying a certain transportation fee, the system would automatically ship the horses to him.
The rest of the items Yang Rui brought with him included a small number of weapons and equipment for beginner, intermediate, and high-grade soldiers, as well as the 21800 mission verification for exterminating the Western Qiang rebels. Like the low-grade skill books, the rest of the items were left in the castellan's mansion in Joy City by Yang Rui.
With Zhang Ning activating the formation jade talisman and the Flying Carpet's five times speed, Yang Rui arrived at the teleportation array in Haomen County, southeast of Gold City, in four hours.
After entering the teleportation array, Yang Rui once again chose to teleport to Dong Ah County. Yang Rui was prepared to look for Cheng Yu's whereabouts when he had the chance. After all, it was very convenient after the teleportation array was opened. Almost every county had a teleportation array. There was not much difference between teleporting to Dong Ah County and teleporting to Juping County. At most, he would need to spend a few more silver coins. This amount of money was still affordable for Yang Rui.
However, when Yang Rui met with County Magistrate Chen again, he still did not receive any news about Cheng Yu. Yang Rui even suspected that County Magistrate Chen was hiding something. Cheng Yu was originally from a rich family in Dong Ah County. Furthermore, he had just left County Magistrate Chen's office. Yang Rui thought that he should have received some news.
"Sorry to disturb you a few times. Due to work, I have not been able to accompany County Magistrate Chen for a few drinks. This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope that County Magistrate Chen will not think it is too little. Please help me keep an eye on Mr. Cheng Yu's whereabouts. Blazing Sun has something important to ask Mr. Cheng Yu … "
Since he had such doubts, Yang Rui immediately took out 100 gold coins and handed it over without batting an eyelid.
"Blazing Sun, please don't go! General Blazing Sun. What should I do … We have known each other for so long, and we are both officials of the Great Han Dynasty. Brother Blazing Sun, why are you being so polite? I really don't dare to accept this … As for the matter of looking for Mr. Cheng Yu, I will definitely keep an eye out for you … "
After County Magistrate Chen resolutely declined, he finally "helplessly" accepted Yang Rui's 100 gold coins. At the same time, he immediately became more intimate with him.
Strictly speaking, County Magistrate Chen's position was only 500 stones. On the other hand, Yang Rui's position as County Magistrate Chen's position was already 600 stones. In comparison, Yang Rui's position was even higher! However, County Magistrate Chen was an actual position. In the game where the territory had expanded many times, he was considered a high-ranking official. On the other hand, County Magistrate Chen's position could not be any more empty. Therefore, Yang Rui's position could not be compared to County Magistrate Chen's. That was why County Magistrate Chen accepted Yang Rui's 100 gold coins.
After chatting with County Magistrate Chen for a while, Yang Rui returned to Juping County through the teleportation circle. At this time, the Flying Carpet could no longer be used. Without any urgent matters to attend to, Yang Rui rode his horse back to Mountain Town.
Yang Rui could go to the Juping County Magistrate's Mansion first and exchange for the 21800 mission certificates. However, he still had over 10000 soldiers in his storage ring. It had been almost five hours, and it would be inconvenient for him to waste too much time.
After returning to Mountain Town, Yang Rui first looked for Wang Hai. After letting Wang Hai look through the skill books he brought back from Arid Continent, he placed them in the meeting room of Mountain Town so that he could use them when he wanted to change his class. Such a large number of skill books naturally shocked Wang Hai. He was so excited that his hands were shaking when he checked the skill books.
When Yang Rui released the 10000 Yellow Scarf Soldiers from the storage ring, Wang Hai was even more excited! Although these Yellow Scarf Soldiers were only First Grade soldiers, the total number of soldiers in Mountain Town did not exceed ten thousand. How could Wang Hai not be surprised?
Moreover, Yang Rui had more than enough skill books for Second Grade and Third Grade soldiers. In the future, these 10000 Yellow Scarf Soldiers would be a force to be reckoned with! With these Yellow Scarf Soldiers, the Fifth Grade Yellow Scarf Strongman skill book that Yang Rui had obtained earlier could finally be put to use. Just this one use was already a very useful reward!
Yang Rui also learned from Wang Hai that the highest level of the beginner general candidates that were farming experience and leveling up had already reached Level 25. In less than half a month, these candidates would reach Level 30 and change their class to beginner generals!
After handing the skill books to Wang Hai, Yang Rui left Wang Hai to look through them as if he was familiar with them.
