Yang Rui first brought Cheng Yu and Gao Shun to Western Liang's Yue Du City.
As Yang Rui still had one day left after using the Vitality Pill, he was temporarily unable to use the Wind Carpet in his current state. Fortunately, Cheng Yu and Gao Shun were by his side. Any one of them could activate the Formation Jade Talisman. In the end, it was Gao Shun who activated the Formation Jade Talisman with his internal energy.
Yang Rui also wanted to test Gao Shun's strength. After all, the information given to him was a little too brief. There were many things that were not as accurate as seeing him in person. In the end, Gao Shun successfully dispelled the Dao Energy within the Formation Jade Talisman and filled it with his internal energy. Then, he used it to activate the Wind Carpet.
Apart from using the teleportation formation, Yang Rui kept Cheng Yu and Gao Shun in his storage ring and used the Wind Carpet to quickly reach Yue Du City.
At this time, only Zhang Ning was in Yue Du City. Zuo Feng had not returned after returning to Luoyang Imperial City. This was greatly out of Yang Rui's expectations. With Zuo Feng's urgent need for the Asahi Pill, he should have immediately returned to Yue Du City after completing his task. Could it be that it was really as Zhang Ning said? That the ingredients to refine the Asahi Pill were very difficult to find?
"Zhang Ning greets my lord!"
When they arrived in the city, Zhang Ning and the rest came out to welcome them. Cheng Yu and Gao Shun also praised Yue Du City. In their hearts, they were full of admiration for Yang Rui for being able to take down such a strong city. Actually, they did not know that the Fu River was only built by Yang Rui later on.
"Zhang Ning greets Mister Cheng and Gao Yishi!"
"Li Dong greets Mister Cheng and Gao Yishi …"
After Yang Rui's introduction, Zhang Ning and the rest exchanged greetings with Cheng Yu and Gao Shun. This was especially true for Zhang Ning and the rest. They had interacted with Cheng Yu before and were already familiar with each other. On the other hand, this was the first time Gao Shun had met them, and he did not speak much. Thus, they were relatively unfamiliar with each other.
Previously, although Yang Rui had mentioned that he wanted to bring Cheng Yu and Gao Shun to participate in the extermination of Western Qiang's rebellion, he had never mentioned that he had already occupied Yue Du City. Yang Rui explained the details of the city's conquest of the Yue Du City to Cheng Yu and Gao Shun's understanding of Yue Du City had.
Yang Rui had spent quite a bit of effort to obtain Yue Du City, especially when he had used some small tricks to construct the auxiliary river. Although Yang Rui was not exaggerating, he had still managed to kill off a large number of Western Qiang's rebels and successfully defended against their attacks. Thus, he had obtained the approval of Cheng Yu and Gao Shun.
"Blazing Sun, why didn't you go all out and conquer a few more cities? I believe that the Western Qiang rebels would suffer an even greater blow! "
After Yang Rui brought Cheng Yu and Gao Shun around Yue Du City, Cheng Yu said.
"Mister Cheng, you might not know this, but after conquering the Western Qiang rebels' territory, they would constantly attack us. Furthermore, every time they attacked, they would double the number of troops. The pressure of defending was extremely great, and thus, Blazing Sun took the opportunity to negotiate with them. They agreed that they would not go to war for the next six months, and that the number of troops they could send into battle would not exceed the limit of two thousand. "
Yang Rui smiled bitterly as he spoke. Back when Yang Rui had conquered Yue Du City, if he had the help of Cheng Yu and Gao Shun now, he might not have needed to negotiate with the rebels.
"I see. However, even though there was a limit of two thousand men, if Gao Shun and I were to go all out, with Zhang Ning's support, it wouldn't be difficult to conquer the city. "
Cheng Yu spoke slowly, clearly unwilling to give up.
"Mister Cheng is right. However, Blazing Sun had another agreement with the Western Qiang rebels. They would not attack the enemy's cities for the next six months. It was likely that they would not be able to attack the rebels for the time being! Thus, Blazing Sun's current plan is to kill as many of the Western Qiang's Fifth Grade special troops, the First Ascender Warriors, to obtain the relevant skill books and equipment to develop his own troops.
However, Mister Cheng need not feel regretful about this. Blazing Sun has already gathered enough volunteers and is preparing to attack the Xiongnu in four days. I hope that Mister Cheng and Gao Shun will be able to help when the time comes. "
Seeing Cheng Yu's regretful expression, Yang Rui continued.
"Oh? If that is the case, Cheng Yu will naturally go with them. The Xiongnu are a bigger threat than the Qiang people. Blazing Sun being able to gather volunteers in time to attack the Xiongnu must have contributed greatly! However, Gao Shun might not have been able to train his own special troops at that time. It is a pity … "
Hearing Yang Rui's words, Cheng Yu's expression changed greatly.
Own special troops? Yang Rui couldn't help but feel confused. There was no such information on Gao Shun's character attributes!
"Blazing Sun probably doesn't know about Gao Shun's ability in this area. Let him say it himself … "
With Cheng Yu's ability, he naturally saw through the doubts in Yang Rui's heart. He couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"My lord, Mister Cheng is overpraising me. Shun can only train one special troop, just like the First Ascender Warriors that my lord mentioned before. However, the troop that Shun trains is called the 'Formation Breaker'. Furthermore, it will take at least half a year to train it properly."
Gao Shun was a man of few words. He only opened his mouth after hearing Cheng Yu's words.
It really is the Formation Breaker! Hearing Gao Shun's words, Yang Rui was suddenly enlightened and overjoyed! Previously, when Yang Rui was looking at Gao Shun's character information, he had seen the "Formation Breaker" skill. He had mistakenly thought that this skill was the origin of Gao Shun's Formation Breaker. However, he didn't think that there was a corresponding special troop of the Formation Breaker. Yang Rui had actually walked into a misunderstanding …
In reality, there were many historical generals that could train special troops. However, they wouldn't be displayed in the character information list. This was something that Yang Rui wasn't clear about at the moment.
There were two types of generals that could train special troops. One type was like Gao Shun who had specialized support skills for the special troops. The other type was only able to train special troops but didn't have the corresponding support skills. In comparison, the former type was extremely rare. Yang Rui wasn't clear about this either.
"How does Gao Shun's Formation Breaker compare to these soldiers?"
Yang Rui immediately released two soldiers from his storage ring. These two soldiers were two of the 12 Formation Breaker warriors that had successfully completed their class change in Big Mountain City. Yang Rui couldn't bear to part with them, which was why he kept them in his storage ring. He wanted to test out the strength of these Formation Breaker warriors in a suitable situation. Now was the perfect time to use them as a comparison.
"The two of you can try attacking with all your might."
Gao Shun first observed the two Formation Breaker warriors from head to toe. Then, he ordered the two to attack with all their might. After Yang Rui nodded, the two Formation Breaker warriors immediately charged at Gao Shun with all their might. The three of them instantly engaged in a fierce battle.
However, Gao Shun was only blocking left and right. It was obvious that he didn't use much strength. Only after the two Formation Breaker warriors had attacked for about ten moves did Gao Shun push Gao Shun away. After pushing the two Formation Breaker warriors seven to eight meters away, Gao Shun nodded his head. It could be said that he had a grasp of the strength of the Fifth Grade Formation Breaker warriors. Yang Rui immediately called for the two Formation Breaker warriors to stop.
"Reporting to my Lord. If they are both Fifth Grade and have no one to lead them, the Formation Breaker warriors should be able to win. If the Formation Breaker is led by Shun, with the buff from the 'Formation Breaker' skill. If they are of the same number, they should not be feared! "
After a series of probing, Gao Shun gave the results of the comparison. However, there were still some reservations in his words. From the sound of it, the Formation Breaker warriors should be slightly stronger than the Formation Breaker warriors!? This made Yang Rui very satisfied. He couldn't help but regard the Formation Breaker more highly.
"What is the highest grade that Gao Shun can train the Formation Breaker warriors to?"
Yang Rui still had a good understanding of Gao Shun's character. Thus, he didn't doubt Gao Shun's words. However, Yang Rui also sensed some other meaning from Gao Shun's words. Thus, he asked.
"If all the conditions are met, they should be able to reach Seventh Grade."
Seventh Grade?! Yang Rui remembered that Yu Jin had once said that he could train the cavalry to Sixth Grade or even higher.
"Since it is impossible to train enough Formation Breaker warriors in a short period of time, then if Gao Shun were to lead the Formation Breaker warriors, would the results be different?"
Through Gao Shun's words, Yang Rui seemed to have grasped some of the patterns that generals used to lead their troops. Thus, he continued to ask.
"Reporting to my Lord. If I were to lead the Formation Breaker warriors, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to display their strongest attributes. I also wouldn't be able to display the best effect of the 'Formation Breaker' skill. Compared to me leading the Formation Breaker, the difference would be even greater …"
Indeed, as Yang Rui had expected, the 'Formation Breaker' skill when used together with the Formation Breaker, the results would be even better!
From this, Yang Rui had a general understanding. The strength of a general or famous person, and the extent to which they could display it, was not enough to just look at the attributes on the character list. It also depended on the actual situation and what the limitations were!
For example, for a general like Gao Shun, if the 'Formation Breaker' skill was used together with the Formation Breaker, there would definitely be a hidden skill bonus. This point could not be seen from the character list. Thus, as long as he was given enough time to develop the Formation Breaker, his combat strength would definitely be much stronger than what it appeared to be on paper …
Because Zuo Feng had not returned. There were not many things to deal with in Le Du City. Yang Rui brought Cheng Yu and Gao Shun to stay for a while before leaving. At this time, a System Announcement came.
"System Announcement: Due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Great Han Emperor has changed the seventh year of Yuanguang He to the first year of Zhongping. On the fifteenth of this month, there will be a three-day award ceremony for meritorious officials. At the same time, a group of officials who were unfavorable during the chaos will be punished as a warning to others. Players can participate in the ceremony at that time and participate in the celebration activities and quests. Players are welcome to participate … "
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, you are in the list of rewards. When the time comes, please participate in the award ceremony at the West Garden. Do not be absent, or you will be responsible for the consequences!"
It turned out that the Great Han Emperor had finally woken up from his busy day of entertainment. He remembered that he had to reward and punish everyone for their merits in the Yellow Turban Rebellion storyline to suppress evil and promote good! Coincidentally, Yang Rui was also in the list of rewards. Moreover, even if he did not want to go, he could not!
It was already the thirteenth of the eleventh month. There was only one day left until the award ceremony. Yang Rui could only temporarily not return to Da Shan City. He had to change his route and go directly to Luoyang Imperial City!
