Yang Rui had a good understanding of Cheng Yu's skills. Among them, "Detection" and "Psychological Warfare" were extremely effective. Back then, Yang Rui had relied on Cheng Yu's two skills to quickly pacify the Yellow Turban forces in Yan Province and its vicinity. Thus, he had a very deep understanding of them.
According to Yang Rui's conjecture, Cheng Yu's skills were not only useful on the battlefield, but also in subduing generals and famous figures. When Yang Rui first subdued Li Dong, it was because of Cheng Yu's presence that Li Dong immediately changed his attitude and quickly submitted to Yang Rui. This was how Yang Rui had subdued Zhang Tian, Tian Bao, Zhang Chen, and several other junior generals!
Now that Cheng Yu suggested that he could help Yang Rui when he used the "Conscription Order (General)", Yang Rui was naturally very happy! With Cheng Yu's help, the success rate of the Conscription Order would definitely increase greatly!
Thus, Yang Rui informed Cheng Yu of his intention to go to Ji Province to look for Gao Shun. Cheng Yu only thought for a moment before agreeing to go with Yang Rui to Ji Province. Thus, Yang Rui and County Magistrate Chen did not delay at Cheng Yu's residence for too long. Soon, they all went to the inner city of the three prefectures. County Magistrate Chen returned to his residence on his own, while Yang Rui and Cheng Yu stepped onto the teleportation array and arrived at Ji Province's Anping Kingdom.
Emperor Hanling, Liu Hong, probably had not found the time to deal with the remaining problems of the Yellow Turban. Thus, even though Liu Xu, the Prince of Anping, was not in his fief, Liu Hong did not remove him for the time being. Instead, he sent a Minister of Anping to temporarily take over.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yang Rui invited Liu Xu into the storage ring before teleporting to Anping Country. After teleporting to Anping Country, Yang Rui rented a carriage in the posthouse and quickly left Anping City with Cheng Yu. He headed west all the way to Gao Shun's residence.
It was not the first time that Yang Rui had come here, so he was familiar with the way, and soon arrived near his destination. Only now did Yang Rui release Liu Xu from his storage ring to help him search for Gao Shun's whereabouts.
Gao Shun's place of residence was very special. This village was surrounded by dense forests for more than ten miles. The last time Yang Rui came here, he did not find Gao Shun's village. He could only be sure that it was nearby!
"City Lord Blazing Sun, forgive me. This Prince … has only been here twice. One of the times was with City Lord Blazing Sun. This place is definitely not wrong. However, I don't know why I can't find the village where that person lives …"
Yang Rui released Liu Xu. After searching for a while, they still could not find Gao Shun's residence. This made Yang Rui doubt the authenticity of Liu Xu's words again. Liu Xu was not stupid. After realizing that Yang Rui was suspicious, he explained.
"The Prince of Anping's words are not false. Blazing Sun can naturally believe it. The person that Blazing Sun is looking for should indeed be nearby. However, the surrounding forest is somewhat special. It's actually a small formation! It seems that the person that Blazing Sun is looking for is quite strong. Let me try to break it! "
Just as Yang Rui was puzzled, Cheng Yu stood up for Liu Xu. At the same time, he solved Yang Rui's doubts. There was actually a formation here. It was no wonder that Yang Rui could not find Gao Shun's residence after coming here twice!
After Cheng Yu examined it for a while, he led Yang Rui and Liu Xu around the forest. Most of the time, they walked in places that did not seem to have a path. It felt like they were walking around in circles! However, Yang Rui did not doubt Cheng Yu's ability. No matter how Cheng Yu walked, he followed closely behind.
Sure enough, after about a quarter of an hour under Cheng Yu's lead, Yang Rui and the others' eyes suddenly opened up. A small village appeared in their field of vision. Although the buildings in the village were simple and dilapidated, they were filled with a sense of tranquility. It could be considered a peach garden in a chaotic world!
Seeing this, Yang Rui knew that they had most likely arrived at their destination.
"Who is it that has barged into my manor?!"
Yang Rui, Cheng Yu and Liu Xu had just stood at the entrance of the village when a loud question was heard. Someone in the village had already discovered the tracks of Yang Rui and the others. At the same time, a figure quickly blocked in front of Yang Rui and the others.
"It's this person …"
At this time, Liu Xu, who was at the back, whispered. Yang Rui already had an idea of the identity of the person in front of him.
"I am Blazing Sun, and I am here to look for righteous man Gao Shun. I wonder if he lives here? Or are you that righteous man Gao Shun? "
Since he had already confirmed the other party's identity, Yang Rui did not avoid it. He directly revealed the purpose of this trip.
At the same time, Yang Rui also carefully sized up the other party's appearance. He saw that this person was seven feet tall, had a sturdy physique, and was full of strength. His face was also very square, full of righteousness, and his expression was honest. At first glance, he could make people trust him.
"I am Gao Shun! May I know why you are looking for me? "
Gao Shun was honest and upright, and directly admitted his identity.
In fact, while Yang Rui was looking at him, Gao Shun was also looking at the three people in front of him. He quickly discovered that Liu Xu, the King of Anping, was among the three of them, and had a rough understanding of how they were able to come here.
Gao Shun knew that the King of Anping had previously surrendered to the Yellow Turban. However, at this time, the Yellow Turban uprising had already passed. Since the government had not punished this person, Gao Shun could no longer criticize Liu Xu's shortcomings. Yang Rui and Cheng Yu, who came with Liu Xu, did not seem to have any evil intentions. In particular, these people were actually able to pass through the formation outside the village. It seemed that they were also very capable!
The array around the village was not created by Gao Shun, but was left behind by the ancestors. Gao Shun understood the ingenuity of the array. When the array was operating, the eye of the array was constantly changing. In order to break the array, one would need to be skilled and skilled in array formations. Gao Shun admitted that he could not do it.
He did not expect that such an exquisite formation would be easily broken through by the few people in front of him. Moreover, he did not receive any warning during the process. It was clear that these people were very powerful!
After some observation, Gao Shun had a rough understanding of the three people in front of him. Among them, Gao Shun was most familiar with the King of Anping, Liu Xu, but it seemed that he could not break the formation! Yang Rui did not seem to be weak, and the other one dressed like a Confucian scholar was even more unfathomable. The person who broke the formation most likely fell on this person!
"I am Cheng Yu from Yan Province Dong Ah. I have heard of the righteous Gao Shun's name and have specially come to visit you with Blazing Sun!"
Cheng Yu saw Gao Shun's gaze fall on him, so he also greeted him.
"Cheng Yu from Yan Province Dong Ah?! Blazing Sun? Are the two of you the General Blazing Sun and Mr. Cheng Yu who took the lead in eliminating the Yellow Turban forces in Yan Province with the power of your own private soldiers?! "
When he heard the name Blazing Sun alone, Gao Shun did not notice anything. However, after hearing Cheng Yu introduce himself, he realized that the two people in front of him were probably the two generals who had joined forces to eliminate the Yellow Turban forces in Yan Province. This story had spread widely some time ago, so Gao Shun also knew about it.
"It is the two of us. We have specially come to visit you today, righteous Gao Shun."
Hearing Gao Shun's words, Yang Rui and Cheng Yu looked at each other and admitted it. Gao Shun had actually heard of the story of Yang Rui and Cheng Yu in eliminating the Yellow Turban forces in Yan Province. This made things easier.
"So it is the two of you who have come to visit. Please come in and have a seat."
Gao Shun's guess was confirmed, and a hint of joy appeared on his calm face. Soon, he invited Yang Rui, Cheng Yu, and Liu Xu into the village. At this point, Yang Rui was also happy. Under this premise, his relationship with Gao Shun was naturally much closer.
"Please have a drink."
They came to Gao Shun's residence in the village and sat down. Gao Shun boiled some hot water and poured it for Yang Rui and the others.
At this time, the season was close to winter. Gao Shun's house was very simple, so it felt quite cold. Yang Rui wanted to take out some wine from his backpack, but suddenly remembered that Gao Shun was rumored to not drink. Moreover, he was very strict about drinking, so he gave up.
The only thing Gao Shun could entertain Yang Rui and the others was water. After Yang Rui and the others entered the house, they did not find any decent furniture, let alone tea, snacks, and other things to entertain them.
"This is a remote place, so there is no way to entertain guests. Sorry for the inconvenience …"
Gao Shun was a man of few words, but from his words and actions, it could be felt that he welcomed Yang Rui and Cheng Yu.
"Righteous Sir Gao, there is no need to be like this. We came this time to make friends with you. It is enough to see you."
Usually, Cheng Yu was a man of few words, but now, he took the initiative to chat with Gao Shun. They talked about many places and people's deeds in the Yellow Turban Uprising. This involved the matter of Gao Shun helping King Anping defend the city. He did not hide it from King Anping Liu Xu, who was also present, causing Liu Xu to feel quite awkward for a while.
"One of the reasons we came this time is to make friends with Righteous Sir Gao Shun. Another thing is to invite Righteous Sir Gao Shun to go on a punitive expedition against the Xiongnu and Western Qiang. What do you think?"
While speaking, Yang Rui had already taken the punitive expedition order and handed it to Gao Shun.
"Punitive expedition against the Xiongnu and Western Qiang?" Gao Shun looked at Yang Rui in surprise.
"Exactly! I have heard that Righteous Sir Gao Shun has the ambition to serve your country, but you have no connections. That is why Blazing Sun sought Righteous Sir Gao Shun, hoping to fight side by side with Righteous Sir Gao Shun to drive away the Tartars and do something that can be done for the safety of the people of the Great Han Dynasty … "
Yang Rui's words resonated with Gao Shun. Gao Shun did have the world in his heart, but at the same time, he felt that there was no way to serve his country. This could be seen from his performance in the Yellow Turban Uprising.
"If Righteous Sir Gao Shun is willing, I am willing to take Righteous Sir Gao Shun as a general. We will go together to meet the rebels of Western Qiang and the Xiongnu army …"
While speaking, Yang Rui took out the punitive expedition order (General) from his inventory. In fact, Yang Rui was also using the punitive expedition order (General) as an opportunity to use it, so the process did not seem so abrupt.
"System Notification: Do you wish to use the punitive expedition order (General)? Please choose! "
"Yes!"
