While following County Magistrate Chen to Dong 'a County to look for Cheng Yu, Yang Rui brought along the Prince of Anping, Liu Xu, who had been captured for a long time.
After Yang Rui captured Liu Xu, he had been trying to get some benefits from him. At first, Liu Xu refused, but in the end, Yang Rui threatened to hand him over to Emperor Ling of Han to force Liu Xu to tell him something. At that time, Yang Rui brought Liu Xu back to his territory without saying anything.
The Prince of Peace, Liu Xu, had also mentioned this matter by chance during several "chats" with Yang Rui. Back then, he didn't pay much attention to it, but Yang Rui was very concerned about it!
At that time, Liu Xu was surrounded by the Yellow Turban at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising plot. He was helpless because he didn't have a general. Coincidentally, a civilian named "Gao Shun" volunteered to defend the city, but because of his background, Liu Xu despised him and abandoned him.
When more and more Yellow Turbans surrounded Anping City, Liu Xu was finally captured by the Yellow Turbans and temporarily attached to them. However, at the last moment before he was captured, he saw the civilian who had volunteered to defend the city single-handedly kill his way out of the encirclement. At that time, Liu Xu regretted it too late.
However, after Liu Xu attached himself to the Yellow Turban forces, he asked his subordinates and finally found the residence of "Gao Shun". However, at this time, Gao Shun knew that Liu Xu had joined the Yellow Turban forces. How could he be willing to work for Liu Xu? He righteously refused Liu Xu's invitation.
Not only did Gao Shun refuse, but he also advised Liu Xu to abandon the darkness and join the light. He said that as long as Liu Xu resisted the Yellow Turban forces, he would still be willing to lead troops for Liu Xu. Otherwise, as long as the Yellow Turban forces were not cleared, he would not see Liu Xu or any of his envoys.
Liu Xu had no way to deal with this. Gao Shun's martial arts were strong, so of course, he couldn't use force. Since persuasion was useless, Liu Xu could only give up!
Later, Liu Xu was captured by Yang Rui. After many "conversations" with Yang Rui, he learned about Gao Shun's whereabouts. Later, Yang Rui attacked Huang Jin in the western part of Anping. On one hand, he wanted to pass by Gao Shun's residence. To search for traces of Guo Gaoshun!
However, at that time, the plot of the Yellow Turban Uprising had not yet ended. Although Yang Rui found Gao Shun's residence according to Liu Xu's guidance, he could not even find Gao Shun's shadow. At that time, Liu Xu used the excuse that the Yellow Peril had not ended, so Gao Shun must have been hiding and did not want to see him. Yang Rui was also skeptical about this. He was not sure if Liu Xu's words were accurate.
That was until Yang Rui obtained the Conscription Order (General) in the dungeon. Yang Rui remembered that the plot of the Yellow Turban Uprising had already ended. If what Liu Xu said was true, he should be able to find traces of Gao Shun! Therefore, Yang Rui was prepared to search for Gao Shun's whereabouts as soon as he exited the dungeon. If he could find him smoothly, he would try to use the Conscription Order to see if it would work!
Of course. This was only one of Yang Rui's plans. Whether or not he could find Gao Shun was another matter. Whether or not the Conscription Order (General) would work was even more difficult to say! After all, the Conscription Order (General) that Yang Rui obtained only had a 100% success rate for special generals and below. The success rate for Level 3 historical generals and famous scholars was only 50%. The success rate for Level 2 historical generals and famous scholars was only 10%. The success rate for Level 1 historical generals and famous scholars was even less than 1%!
According to Yang Rui's understanding, Gao Shun was not a simple general. Although Yang Rui did not know what level of historical general he was, it was definitely not low!
Yang Rui's other plan for using the Conscription Order (General) was to use it on Cheng Yu. Of course, the success rate of this method was even lower. With Cheng Yu's level, he should not be lower than a Level 1 historical general, or even higher!
"Chen (Blazing Sun) greets Mr. Cheng!"
"Eh?! It turns out that Lord Chen and Blazing Sun are here! Please come in and have a seat. "
Under County Magistrate Chen's guidance, the process of finding Cheng Yu was very smooth. County Magistrate Chen and Yang Rui had both received help from Cheng Yu before. When they saw Cheng Yu, their attitude was very respectful. Cheng Yu could be considered to be very familiar with the two. He invited Yang Rui and County Magistrate Chen into his residence.
"Rumor has it that Blazing Sun's territory has been upgraded to a small city. You must be very busy. How do you have time to come here? "
After Cheng Yu invited Yang Rui and County Magistrate Chen into the house, he prepared tea and a tea set. He greeted the two as he asked.
Ever since they entered Cheng Yu's residence, Yang Rui had been paying attention. The Cheng Family was indeed a big family in Dong Ah County. Their courtyard was also very spacious. The courtyard with three entrances and three exits was dozens of acres in size. However, the layout of Cheng Yu's house was very simple. There was only a table, a bed, and a small table for eating and drinking tea. At this time, Cheng Yu, Yang Rui, and County Magistrate Chen sat around the small table and chatted while drinking tea.
"Mr. Cheng, you don't know! Since the decline of the Yellow Turban and Mr. Cheng left the Dong Ah County Government, Blazing Sun has been visiting Mr. Cheng's residence three times. Every time they meet, he would ask about Mr. Cheng's situation. You can see how anxious Blazing Sun is to find Mr. Cheng! "
County Magistrate Chen had received benefits from Yang Rui before, so he was worried about finding Cheng Yu. Now that he saw Cheng Yu, he naturally said a few words for Yang Rui.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? "
Cheng Yu, who was pouring tea, heard County Magistrate Chen's words. His hands paused for a moment, then he turned to Yang Rui and asked, "May I know why Blazing Sun is looking for you?"
"There is one thing that I need Mr. Cheng's help with!"
Yang Rui was also stunned by the question. He was looking for Cheng Yu to find an opportunity to recruit Cheng Yu, but he couldn't be so straightforward. Yang Rui also had an idea and took out the "Punitive Token" he obtained from the Terracotta Soldier Instance Dungeon.
"This is something that Blazing Sun obtained by chance. Thinking that the Xiongnu have repeatedly harassed the Northwest of the Great Han Dynasty, I specially came to invite Mr. Cheng to help Blazing Sun and go to the Xiongnu territory in the North. Even if you can't completely eliminate the threat, it's good to weaken their strength …"
As he spoke, Yang Rui had already handed the "Punitive Token" to Cheng Yu.
In fact, Yang Rui intended to directly take out another "Punitive Token (General)" to test it out, but obviously that wasn't very appropriate. If it failed, who knew if there would be side effects and it would affect the relationship between Yang Rui and Cheng Yu! Therefore, Yang Rui decided to play it safe and take it slow …
Previously, when Yang Rui went to the West Garden to buy an official position, he had done a divination for Cheng Yu in Luoyang's Imperial City. At that time, the divination went like this: "The forest has trees and the trees have branches. The birds want to ride the distant wind. When the yellow clouds surge, the drifting birds will fly into the forest. At that time, if they have no skills, it's like finding a precious treasure and returning it empty-handed!"
No matter how one looked at it, the divination seemed to be referring to the Yellow Turban Uprising. According to the divination, Yang Rui could be considered to have contributed a lot to the Yellow Turban Uprising. Perhaps he had already met the potential conditions to recruit Cheng Yu!
"… Although it's an old object, it still retains its function! With this object, we can use it as an excuse. Just like Blazing Sun said, we can bring 100,000 armor and go on a punitive expedition against the Xiongnu … "
After Cheng Yu received the "Punitive Token", he flipped through it and made a judgment.
"But … does Blazing Sun have 100,000 elite soldiers?"
After checking the "Punitive Token", Cheng Yu looked at Yang Rui and asked. From his tone, it was clear that he did not object to this matter. However, just as Cheng Yu was puzzled, the number of soldiers Yang Rui currently had was far from 100,000!
"Only twenty thousand or so!" Yang Rui said truthfully.
Even when he said the number "20,000", Yang Rui felt very guilty. This number included the 10,000 First Grade Yellow Turban Soldiers that Zhang Ning had obtained with the Yellow Turban Class Change Order a few days ago! Other than that, even if Yang Rui did not slow down the rate of development of his soldiers, the number of soldiers that Yang Rui had developed on his own had just exceeded 10,000!
"When Blazing Sun has gathered 100,000 soldiers, I will naturally go with Blazing Sun to punitive expedition against the Xiongnu! At that time, not to mention weakening them, it would not be impossible to finish them off with a single strike! "
Cheng Yu said something that he rarely said, and very happily accepted Yang Rui's invitation to go on a punitive expedition against the Xiongnu. However, the condition was that Yang Rui had to have 100,000 soldiers under his command!
Although this number was very far away, with the Yellow Turban Class Change Order and the soldiers that Yang Rui had developed on his own, it would take at most a few months to reach that number! Yang Rui even considered whether he should cooperate with Predator Sword or other large player organizations. If he could directly use the number of players to reach 100,000, wouldn't he be able to immediately go on a punitive expedition against the Xiongnu?!
Of course, Yang Rui still had to seriously consider this idea. After all, no matter who he cooperated with, it was very difficult for the players to follow orders like the NPC soldiers. Moreover, Yang Rui did not want to share this punitive expedition token with others for the time being.
After letting Cheng Yu check the punitive expedition token, Yang Rui hesitated and simply took out the Conscription Order (General) and handed it to Cheng Yu. Although Yang Rui was not confident that he could use the Conscription Order (General) on Cheng Yu, it was not a problem to take it out for Cheng Yu to consult and see his reaction.
"Eh?! This is also an old item … Where did Blazing Sun get this item? "
Cheng Yu looked at it carefully and seemed to be talking to himself. "This Conscription Order is obviously from the same era as the previous punitive expedition token, and it still has the same effect, but its function is very limited … If Blazing Sun has a general or famous person that he values, if he uses this token and I help from the side, the success rate can be increased a little!"
"Please help Blazing Sun, Mr. Cheng!"
How could Yang Rui not understand the meaning behind Cheng Yu's words? The other party obviously wanted to do Yang Rui a big favor! However, Cheng Yu's words excluded himself. It was obvious that he wanted Yang Rui to use this token on someone else.
