It was clear that Dragon Soul and the other Player organizations were very concerned about Henan Yin Cities. The price quoted by Trace Dragon Soul should be the upper limit of the price that they had previously discussed. 1.5 million gold coins for a small city, 2 million gold coins for a middle city, and 2.5 million gold coins for a big city. Such a price was not in vain for Yang Rui to work for the various Player organizations.
In fact, when the Grand Mountain City had just been upgraded to a Level 1 City, Trace Dragon Soul had already expressed its intention to purchase the city. At that time, it revealed that it was willing to pay a high price. Although a lot of time had passed, the territories of the various Player organizations were still stuck at the Advanced Town level. Therefore, their desire to obtain a city had not decreased by much.
In addition, with so many cities connected together and almost no NPCs competing for living space, it was not an exaggeration to say that Henan Yin Cities was a Player's paradise. In contrast to Yang Rui, the various Player organizations had many members. Apart from special Profession players, they did not need NPCs to participate in production and construction. Therefore, Henan Yin Cities were very suitable for Players to occupy.
It wasn't that Yang Rui hadn't thought about it before. Once he transferred the Henan Province to the major player organizations, it would greatly stimulate the development of their strength. However, Yang Rui now had a province under his control, and the number of counties under his jurisdiction wasn't small. As long as he could develop Qing Province steadily, it wouldn't be something that the major player organizations with a single county could compare to!
Moreover, after the major player organizations obtained Henan's Yin Land, there would definitely be various checks and balances between them. Even if they could truly unite and develop into an independent force other than the eighteen feudal lords and Dong Zhuo, it might not necessarily be a bad thing. It might even play a role in balancing the other NPC forces around them.
Most importantly. Yang Rui had really benefited. With the funds provided by the various Player organizations. Yang Rui did not have to worry about financial problems for a short period of time. With these funds, he could rapidly develop the strength of the Province Soldiers, County Soldiers, and County Soldiers and rapidly strengthen himself. This was the most important thing.
Whether it was his own private soldiers, Province Soldiers, County Soldiers, or County Soldiers, the cost of recruitment and training was not small. In the case of the Province Soldiers, there was no additional fee for the first 50,000 soldiers. Between 50,000 and 250,000 soldiers, each soldier would have to pay 10 gold coins. Between 250,000 and 500,000 soldiers, each soldier would have to pay 20 gold coins. Between 500,000 and 1,000,000 soldiers, each soldier would have to pay 30 gold coins. If they continued to recruit soldiers, the cost would increase correspondingly.
It could be said that recruiting Province Soldiers was definitely a matter of burning money. It was the same for Province Soldiers and County Soldiers. If one did not have enough financial support, even if one had the corresponding territory and did not have enough soldiers to protect it, it would be difficult to protect it.
If Yang Rui were to sell the 12 County Towns and the other three Cities in Henan Province, he would receive over 30 million Gold Coins. This was enough for him to recruit a lot of soldiers in a short time.
Of course. Among them, the situation of River Yin County was a little special. The County Magistrate of Duyang County was a bona fide county magistrate. Now that he had a follower relationship with Yang Rui, Yang Rui already had a preliminary plan for Duyang County. If He Yin County was transferred to the players, it would naturally be worth more than the other cities!
Not only could Yang Rui recruit as many soldiers as he could, but he also had the Penglai Mystic Realm, a holy land for leveling up. The soldiers he recruited could rapidly increase their grade. The time it took for newly recruited soldiers to advance from First Grade to Fourth Grade was usually no more than two game months. It was a speed that no other NPC or player force could achieve.
It was because of this series of reasons that Yang Rui took on the task of acquiring cities for the player organizations. After obtaining the conditions promised by the leaders of the player organizations such as Dragon Soul, Yang Rui once again rode the Flying Carpet to Luoyang Royal City.
Originally, Yang Rui had intended to let the leaders of the player organizations go back to gather the gold coins and arrange another time for the transaction. However, after a rough calculation, the gold coins that these leaders brought together was enough to exchange for the fake documents and official seals. Thus, they all stayed in River Yin County to wait for Yang Rui's news.
Yang Rui sighed. On one hand, it was possible that these large player organizations were already prepared. On the other hand, it also meant that their financial resources were indeed very rich. Yang Rui had only hinted to Rose that the transaction would be conducted through gold coins.
At this time, although Dong Qunxiong had assigned the task of evacuating Luoyang, the time limit was 15 game days. The various vassals were only in the beginning stages of preparation. None of the vassals had begun to move.
This was especially true for the vassals who were assigned the task of guarding the city. They were still thinking of ways to transfer the task, but unfortunately, it was to no avail. Even though these vassals had promised great rewards, none of them were willing to take on the task of guarding the city. Yang Rui's return was undoubtedly a blessing for them.
"Vice Leader Blazing Sun, you mean … you want to take over the task of guarding the city?"
When Yang Rui found Hanoi Governor Wang Kuang and asked him for the fake documents and official seals, Wang Kuang could not believe his ears.
"Indeed! Governor Wang wants to personally station the city? Hahaha … "
Yang Rui had expected Wang Kuang's doubts, but he did not explain further. To Wang Kuang, Yang Rui's arrival was a joyous occasion. There was no need for further explanation.
"That's not true! Vice Leader Blazing Sun personally coming to solve my problems is exactly what Wang Kuang wished for. I can't thank you enough … "Wang Kuang was so overwhelmed with joy that he did not know how to express himself. Naturally, he could not help but ramble.
In truth, Wang Kuang and Hanoi were only separated by the Yellow River. For him, guarding one or two cities was not a big problem. However, the task of guarding the city was not something an ordinary vassal could afford. Wang Kuang simply could not afford to station so many troops in Hanoi. Otherwise, Hanoi would be undefended.
If even Wang Kuang, who had the geographical advantage, was in such a situation, one could only imagine the situation of the other vassals. Following this, Yang Rui naturally obtained the fake documents and official seals from Wang Kuang. He also received twenty thousand gold coins from Wang Kuang as a token of appreciation.
What was slightly surprising was that when Yang Rui left Wang Kuang's camp, one of his generals followed him out. Yang Rui could faintly sense that this person's strength was much greater than his own.
"Lord Blazing Sun! Lord Blazing Sun, please wait. I am the nephew of the County Magistrate of Duyang County. I am Han Hao … "
When Yang Rui sensed the strength of the General behind him, he had his suspicions. He rode the Flying Carpet and prepared to leave quickly. However, the General quickly revealed his identity. Only then did Yang Rui stop the Flying Carpet.
"Lord Blazing Sun! I am Han Hao, a subordinate of Governor Wang Kuang. I am the nephew of Hanoi County Magistrate Du Yang. I have come specifically to ask Lord Blazing Sun to save Uncle Du Yang. Please forgive me for my rudeness! "
Han Hao was nearly eight feet tall. He was thin, but extremely sturdy. When he caught up to Yang Rui, he clasped his hands and bowed to the ground, expressing his gratitude.
"The County Magistrate of Duyang County originally wished to submit to that old crook Dong Zhuo. I merely helped him out of his predicament. There is no need to be overly concerned. I have heard the County Magistrate of Duyang County mention General Han Hao's name many times before. Meeting you today, your bearing is indeed extraordinary! "
After learning of Han Hao's intentions, Yang Rui casually mentioned the matter of Du Yang and shifted his attention to Han Hao. Based on Yang Rui's earlier intuition and the information he had gathered, Han Hao was very likely to be a historical general.
Thus, Yang Rui began to have some thoughts about Han Hao. In the upcoming storyline of the game, who knew how long Wang Kuang would last? If Wang Kuang fell, he might be able to bring Han Hao over. Furthermore, his uncle Du Yang was also a follower of Yang Rui. The possibility of this was not small!
"This is a sword that I obtained by chance. I am giving it to General Han Hao. I hope you will accept it."
After chatting with Han Hao for a while, Yang Rui took out a Silver-grade sword from his backpack and gave it to Han Hao. As Yang Rui's storage ring could not be used at the moment, the resources within it could not be taken out. The highest grade items that Yang Rui could give away in his backpack were only two or three Silver-grade swords.
Although it was only a Silver-grade weapon, Han Hao could not help but express his gratitude. As Yang Rui was in a hurry to obtain the forged documents and official seals from the various vassals, he took his leave at the appropriate time. Before leaving, Yang Rui did not forget to invite Han Hao to meet at Heyin City. Han Hao agreed and said that he would definitely pay a visit to Heyin City after withdrawing his troops.
After that, Yang Rui did not expend much effort to obtain all of the forged documents and official seals from the various vassals. In addition to the few that were given to Ding Yuan and Yang Rui himself, Yang Rui obtained a total of 30 forged documents and official seals. He could now take over all of the 12 counties and three small cities in Hulao Pass and Xihe City's Nanyin Region!
This included two forged documents and official seals from Heyin County. Yuan Shao was not aware that the County Magistrate of Du Yang County had already followed Yang Rui. Therefore, when he forged the documents, he also forged a set of documents and official seals from Heyin County.
It was worth mentioning that when Yang Rui obtained these forged documents and official seals, every single vassal courteously gave Yang Rui a lot of thanks. This included gold coins, equipment, materials, and various other items. Among them, the item given by Yu Province's Provincial Governor, Kong Lian, was the most unique.
