Yang Rui wanted to ask Han Fu for Ju Shou and Tian Feng. Of course, he knew how difficult it would be to ask Han Fu for both Ju Shou and Tian Feng. It was just like the time when Yang Rui asked for Yuan Shao. On the surface, Yang Rui wanted Cao Cao to pass on the message that he wanted either Yan Liang or Wen Chou. In the end, in order to make Yang Rui give up on the position of Alliance Master, Yuan Shao chose to transfer Chen Lin as a condition.
This time, Yang Rui's intention was the same. Han Fu would most likely not give up on either Ju Shou or Tian Feng. However, in order to achieve her goal, Han Fu would definitely consider other conditions to satisfy Yang Rui. When the time comes, he would just have to negotiate the terms.
In reality, every famous historical figure had their own special uses. Take Chen Lin for example. Although she might not be as good as Cheng Yu or other famous historical figures in terms of military strategy and strategy, she still had her own unique characteristics. For example, Chen Lin's performance during the Battle of Heyang City had surprised Yang Rui.
At that time, in Heyang City, Chen Lin was able to mobilize the morale of the NPCs in the city in an extremely short amount of time and participate in the defense of the city. This showed how extraordinary Chen Lin's skills were. In the historical records, Chen Lin had also written a war declaration for Yuan Shao against Cao Cao. It could be said that she criticized Cao Cao to the point that there was nothing good about him. It was very provocative.
Moreover, in Heyang City, when Chen Lin mobilized the NPCs, there was a glow of a skill. Yang Rui had reason to believe that Chen Lin definitely had a special skill in this area. It was also because of this that Yang Rui asked Chen Lin to write a secret letter to Ji Province's Provincial Governor Han Fu.
"Yes! I'll go write the letter and bring it to you later. "After receiving Yang Rui's instructions, Chen Lin responded and went to the side room to write the letter.
Cheng Yu also nodded towards Yang Rui's decision. Before Yang Rui arrived, Yuan Shao had also sent a few letters over. He wanted to reconcile with Yang Rui and even offered to split Ji Province equally with Yang Rui. Cheng Yu, Chen Lin, and Wu Anguo had also discussed this. They were all inclined to suggest that Yang Rui adopt a direct confrontation with Yuan Shao. They were also worried that Yang Rui would hesitate..
They didn't expect that after Yang Rui arrived, he would decisively make a decision after hearing about the current situation in Pingyuan Prefecture and Ji Province. It was obvious that Yang Rui's attitude towards Yuan Shao was also very clear. This also saved Cheng Yu and the others the trouble of persuading Yang Rui.
Chen Lin was also very supportive of Yang Rui's direct confrontation with Yuan Shao. Back then, Yuan Shao didn't hesitate to replace him with Yang Rui for the position of Alliance Leader of the Anti-Dong Alliance. He had more or less underestimated him!
After the rebellion of the Ten Permanent Attendants and the collapse of He Jin Group, Chen Lin no longer had a place to settle down. Back then, Chen Lin had chosen to follow Yuan Shao without any hesitation. At first, he also hoped that Yuan Shao would be able to restore the fallen Han Dynasty.
In Chen Lin's opinion, among the many talented generals who had worked in the Great General's Estate, Yuan Shao was second to none in terms of vision, strategy, and loyalty. This was also the main reason why Chen Lin had chosen to follow Yuan Shao to Hebei. Chen Lin didn't expect that his judgment was still a bit biased. Yuan Shao had easily given up on him. Moreover, although Yuan Shao's schemes were deep, they revealed more and more of his ambitions …
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, the reply to Han Fu has been completed. Please take a look." Chen Lin went to the side room and returned not long after. He handed a five-page letter with several thousand words to Yang Rui.
Yang Rui took the letter that Chen Lin had drafted and quickly read through it. He noticed that the smoothness of her writing and the accuracy of her insights were well-deserved of her reputation. It could be seen from this that Chen Lin was extremely talented. After Yang Rui finished reading it, he handed it to a messenger and had it sent to Ji Province on a fast horse.
Chen Lin's letter had no lack of criticism directed at Yuan Shao. Chen Lin's disloyalty to the Han Dynasty, his disregard for his allies, and his misdeeds to Ji Province and Qingzhou showed that he still held a grudge against Yuan Shao. Chen Lin's secret letter was also very provocative. Although Yang Rui didn't see any traces of a skill in the process of reading it, he believed that Chen Lin must have used a skill when writing the letter!
After the secret letter was sent, Yang Rui discussed it with Cheng Yu, Chen Lin, Zhang Ning, Wu Anguo, and the others. They decided on a specific plan to harass and attack Yuan Shao. During the process, the news of Yuan Shao's camp at the border of Western Pingchang County was reported back. When Cheng Yu and the others found out that it was Yang Rui and Zhang Ning who had carried out the fire, they were shocked again. From this, they became even more aware of Yang Rui's determination to go against Yuan Shao.
Over the next few days, Yang Rui's troops in Pingyuan City began to move more frequently. He sent 20000 soldiers to Western Pingchang, Bo County, Leling, and Ping County in the north. It looked like he was going to make a move against Bohai County.
Yang Rui's deployment was also to create pressure on Yuan Shao. While strengthening Pingyuan County's defenses, Yang Rui also hoped to give Ji Province's Provincial Governor Han Fu a breather. As expected, after Yuan Shao received the relevant news, he responded accordingly and also increased the number of troops at the southern border.
In fact, the most effective move was still Yang Rui and Zhang Ning's actions. After setting off the fire at the border of Western Pingchang, Yang Rui and Zhang Ning continued to make a lot of movements. They released the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain several times at Bo County, Leling, Ping County, and Ping County. Although the enemy was prepared and the results were not as obvious as the first time, it still caused a lot of trouble for Yuan Shao's troops.
In particular, Yang Rui and Zhang Ning even expanded the scope of their activities to Ji Province two or three times. They ambushed several military camps that Yuan Shao had set up in Bohai County to threaten Han Fu. This caused Yuan Shao's entire Bohai County to be unstable. Yuan Shao's camps all looked very tense!
When they were deep in Ji Province, Yang Rui originally wanted to visit Han Fu in person. However, because he had not received a reply from Han Fu, Yang Rui did not go because he wanted to give her some time to consider and not rush her too much.
Another few days passed. It could be said that Yang Rui had taken a lot of practical actions to share a lot of pressure for Han Fu. However, he still did not receive a reply from Han Fu. After discussing with Cheng Yu and the others, Yang Rui believed that Han Fu's internal department had not reached a consensus. At the same time, Yang Rui's request for Tian Feng and Ju Shou might be a bit too much.
Therefore, Yang Rui decided to temporarily stop his actions and let Yuan Shao put some pressure on Han Fu. When Han Fu could no longer bear the pressure, she would naturally look for Yang Rui in the end. At that time, it would be easier to negotiate conditions. Even if he could not get Tian Feng and Ju Shou, it was still possible to poach one or two less famous historical figures.
However, the wind would not stop. On the second day after Yang Rui made a gesture of stopping, he unexpectedly received a letter from Yuan Shao. Originally, Yang Rui thought that Yuan Shao would adopt a gentler attitude to stabilize Pingyuan Prefecture after being attacked everywhere. However, when Yang Rui opened the letter, he discovered that it was a warning letter from Yuan Shao!
In the letter, Yuan Shao first scolded Yang Rui for using dishonorable methods and setting fire to Yang Rui's camp multiple times. He also clearly warned Yang Rui that if Yang Rui continued to interfere in Ji Prefecture's affairs, Yuan Shao would send an army to take over Qingzhou first. At that time, he would order Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead the army and completely defeat Yang Rui!
After reading the letter, Yang Rui was both angry and amused. Ever since Yang Rui found out that Yuan Shao was the mastermind behind all the heroes' actions, his understanding of Yuan Shao had changed greatly. However, at this time, Yuan Shao's actions to Yang Rui seemed a little unwise.
If Yuan Shao really wanted to have a decisive battle with Yang Rui, it would be understandable. It could be understood that he saw Yang Rui as the number one threat and wanted to eliminate Yang Rui, who was the biggest obstacle. However, from the tone of Yuan Shao's letter, it was obvious that he only wanted to use this to intimidate Yang Rui.
In fact, after analyzing it, it could be explained why Yuan Shao would do this. When the heroes were demanding Yuan Shao, although Yang Rui's total military strength was ranked first, most of it was temporarily piled up by players. Now that the major player organizations were busy with Henan's Yin County, Yang Rui's own military strength was much weaker than Yuan Shao's. Of course, Yuan Shao also saw this point.
Moreover, Yuan Shao had Yan Liang and Wen Chou, two famous generals from Hebei. He believed that he wouldn't be at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation. He hadn't seen the strength of Yang Rui's subordinates. Even Zhang Ning's [Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain] skill was treated as a "dishonorable" sneak attack by Yuan Shao. With these two points, it was very normal for Yuan Shao to warn Yang Rui.
There was another thing that Yang Rui didn't know. Yuan Shao had a huge prejudice against Yang Rui's identity as an "Inhuman". He believed that "Inhumans" were rootless duckweeds that didn't have the support of NPC factions. Therefore, it was very difficult for Inhumans to stand shoulder to shoulder with a local NPC faction like himself.
Yang Rui received Yuan Shao's warning letter in Xiping Chang County. After thinking about it, Yang Rui immediately ordered the soldier who came to deliver the letter to Yuan Shao. The content of the letter was only 10 words, "If thou wants to fight, then let's fight! Why are you so long-winded! "
Such a reply wasn't because Yang Rui was arrogant. It was because Yang Rui also had something to rely on. Now that they were in the middle of the Dong Zhuo Rebellion storyline, Yang Rui had a lot of plot points to revive soldiers and support a large number of casualties. In this aspect, Yuan Shao was far inferior to Yang Rui. Therefore, Yang Rui wasn't too worried about the loss of soldiers.
Moreover, if he wanted to delay Yuan Shao's progress and deplete his strength before he completely rose, it was unrealistic to rely on Han Fu and the others. Perhaps Xu Jizhou's military might be able to slow down Yuan Shao, but to truly deplete Yuan Shao's strength, Yang Rui had to rely on himself. Yuan Shao's development in the North would always be a huge threat to Qingzhou.
Of course, Yuan Shao might not be able to fully understand Yang Rui's reply, but as long as he understood Yang Rui's disdain for him, it would be enough to achieve the goal of infuriating him.
