Although a large number of players had been attracted to Henan, and the players from the other two factions were also enjoying the game, there were still many players in the Yan Province, Ji Province, and Qing Province who maintained their normal pace of playing the game. This was especially true for the players who had joined the factions involved in the war. It was inevitable that they would come out to join in the fun. News of the war between the Yan Province, Ji Province, and Qing Province continued to appear on the game's built-in forum. "
Most of the players were just there to watch the fun. However, the role that Yang Rui played and the strength that he displayed in these two wars had attracted the attention of some players and player factions. Some players had already made some comments on the forum, believing that Yang Rui might have a place in the upcoming War of the Princes. Some factions in the real world had even started to take action against him.
If the game's plot was the same as in his previous life, the Dong Zhuo Rebellion storyline would include a few segments such as [Rescuing Diaochan]. The [Rescuing Diaochan] segment would be the peak of the promotion of [War of the Worlds] in the real world. In his previous life, Yang Rui had entered the game during this period. When the game advertised that an NPC like Diaochan could be materialized in the real world, Yang Rui had only laughed it off. Now, it seemed that it was not impossible!
[Rescuing Diaochan] and the other segments would provide players with plenty of rewards. Of course, Yang Rui would not miss out on these segments. The reason why Yang Rui had left Qing Province was to participate in the Dong Zhuo Rebellion storyline. Of course, before that, Yang Rui still had to make a trip to Mountain City with Zhang Ning. He had to bring along the 10000 palace maids in Mountain City for Zhang Ning. He had her return to Qing Province and enter the Penglai Territory to train a special type of soldier – the Fifth Grade Personal Guard.
At this moment, Yang Rui and Zhang Ning were riding on the Flying Carpet towards Mountain City. He couldn't help but recall the scene of the welcoming dinner for Han Dai and Ju Shou a few days ago.
Guo Jia was there at that time. Yang Rui didn't talk too much about Ji Zhou and Bohai County, nor did he ask about Han Dai's situation. He only warmly entertained Guo Jia, Han Dai, and Jushou. Coupled with Cheng Yu and the others' persuasion, they drank a lot of wine during the banquet. In the end, Yang Rui was even a little drunk.
However, after the banquet, Han Dai took the initiative to look for Yang Rui and explained the situation to him. At first, Han Dai was still a little shy. After hesitating for a while, she finally made up her mind. She explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail. It turned out that Han Dai had taken the initiative to come to Qing Province. Of course, this was also a decision made for the sake of her father, Han Fu.
Back then, Yang Rui suggested to Han Fu that if Tian Feng couldn't come, then Han Dai should come. Furthermore, it wasn't in the form of a marriage alliance. Han Fu felt that Yang Rui must have other intentions towards her daughter. If it was a marriage alliance, Han Fu would definitely be happy. However, if she just handed Han Dai over to Qing Province, she wouldn't get the corresponding status. If Yang Rui really did have thoughts about Han Dai, then Han Dai's reputation would be ruined!
Of course, Han Fu wouldn't agree to this. At this time, Han Dai actually took the initiative to stand up after hearing about it. She said that Yang Rui shouldn't be such a person. She also took the initiative to come to Qing Province!
Due to the fact that Han Dai had cooperated with Yang Rui during the battle in Dong Ping Shu City, they had some contact. In addition, Han Dai vigorously defended Yang Rui. Han Fu actually believed most of it. With the push of some internal voices in Han Fu, Han Fu had no choice but to agree to let Han Dai come to Qing Province.
In fact, Han Dai wasn't sure about the specific purpose of Yang Rui. However, she knew that Qing Province played a strong role in balancing Yuan Shao. For Han Fu, she wasn't afraid of any kind of sacrifice, even if it was sacrificing her body!
After the banquet, Han Dai went to look for Yang Rui to ask Yang Rui to continue to balance Yuan Shao and protect the interests of Ji Province. The reason why Han Dai said that she took the initiative to come to Qing Province was to tactfully express her willingness so that Yang Rui would understand the price she was willing to pay. There was no doubt that this was very risky. If Yang Rui really did have ulterior motives, Han Dai might even immediately give up her virginity!
However, Han Dai's worries were obviously unnecessary. The next morning, Yang Rui gave Han Dai the title of Pingyuan County's First Lieutenant. Her position was actually the same as Wu Anguo's. This made Han Dai become a female general in a flash. At this time, Han Dai realized that perhaps Yang Rui only wanted her purely because of her ability to command troops.
At the same time that he gave Han Dai the title of Pingyuan County's First Lieutenant, Yang Rui also appointed Ju Shou as Qi County's Executive Envoy. It had the meaning of replacing the Qi County's Prime Minister. The official position was also very high. It was obvious that Yang Rui valued and trusted Ju Shou.
These two things surprised Han Dai and Ju Shou. However, Yang Rui's subordinates, Cheng Yu and the others, did not feel that there was anything wrong. Of course, Guo Jia also quickly found out about Han Dai and Ju Shou's positions.
This was not something that Yang Rui deliberately wanted to advertise. The manpower under him was very limited. As long as they were talented and could be retained, of course, he would make good use of them. Han Dai was able to lead troops on her own. Yang Rui appointed her as Pingyuan County's First Lieutenant. Ju Shou was originally the Executive Envoy of Ji Province. His ability was also known by Yang Rui, so he was appointed as Qi County's Executive Envoy. This included Chen Lin previously.
From another point of view, although these people were only Yang Rui's subordinates and did not even have a shadow of a follower relationship, Yang Rui felt that as long as he grasped the opportunity, they would eventually be subdued by him! As for the purpose of advertising to Guo Jia, it was only a small part of it.
Before leaving Pingyuan City, Yang Rui assigned specific missions to these subordinates. Pingyuan City would be overseen by the new governor, Du Yang, and Han Dai. Only 40000 Iron Guards and the native soldiers of Pingyuan County would be left behind in Pingyuan City. The 20000 soldiers that had been transferred over through the waterway were assigned to three counties in the north near Bohai County. The Fifth Grade Iron Guards were very capable in defending a city. In addition, Yang Rui and Yuan Shao had just reached an agreement. Pingyuan County was not under much threat for now.
Cheng Yu, Chen Lin, Ju Shou, and Wu Anguo returned to Linzi City to take charge of the affairs of Green Province. The hundred thousand soldiers that Cheng Yu had led to Pingyuan City also returned. Guo Jia also followed them to Linzi City. The internal affairs of Green Province were not completely united at the moment. The implementation of the farming system, the resource exchange policy, and the military subsidy system all required leadership and cooperation from the soldiers. In comparison, this was the most important aspect.
The matter of training the soldiers was left to Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao. Cheng Yu's Fifth Grade Silver Crossbowmen would also be under the command of these three people. The Fifth Grade Silver Crossbowmen only required the owner to be present when the Silver Crossbowmen were upgraded. In other words, Cheng Yu only needed to enter the map of Penglai a few times when the Silver Crossbowmen were upgraded.
With Yang Rui's distribution of personnel, Sun Qian, who was already in Linzi, and Xu You, who was currently in Mountain City, Green Province should be very stable for the time being. Therefore, after arriving at Mountain City with Zhang Ning and letting Zhang Ning take away the 10000 maids and 1000 soldiers, Yang Rui also stepped on the road to Chang 'an alone.
When the 10000 maids were taken away from Mountain City, Empress Dowager He and her son, as well as Dong Yi, all wanted to see Yang Rui, but they were unable to do so. Yang Rui had actually thought about how to deal with these people. Although he was unwilling to admit it in front of them, the most convenient method for now was to temporarily put them under house arrest.
Following the Yellow River's surface, Yang Rui rode on the Flying Carpet for two and a half days and finally arrived at the Yellow River near Chang 'an City. Yang Rui was actually no stranger to Yongzhou. After entering the game in his previous life, Yang Rui had spent most of his time in Yongzhou. Naturally, he had been to Chang 'an City many times, so he was quite familiar with the city's terrain. However, Yang Rui now had to consider what identity to use to enter Chang' an City.
Yang Rui came to Chang 'an City alone to use the [Shapeshifting Mask] to enter the city and use a suitable identity to participate in the plot. The [Shapeshifting Mask] was effective for 36 hours, and the cooldown time was also 36 hours. During the cooldown time, Yang Rui's identity in the Anti-Dong Alliance could not be hidden. Therefore, before entering Chang' an City, Yang Rui had to choose a suitable identity and find a suitable place to stay in the city to provide a place to hide and change his identity.
After thinking for a while, Yang Rui transformed into the image of a grain merchant he had met when he was resting in Meng Jin. This grain merchant was from the Neutral Camp, so it would be convenient for him to stay in Chang 'an City and buy a shop.
The [Shapeshifting Mask] could not create a character's image at will. It could only imitate an existing character's image. Yang Rui was familiar with the image of Li Ru and the others in Dong Zhuo's camp, so he could use the [Shapeshifting Mask] to imitate their image. However, it would be more convenient for him to transform into the Neutral Camp if he only wanted to sneak into the city.
"Oh, Master Qian, why are you back after just a few days? Did you ship another batch of grain? "
When Yang Rui entered the city from the north gate of Chang 'an City, he did not expect the guards to recognize him and greet him warmly. This was somewhat out of Yang Rui's expectations. It seemed that his identity as a grain merchant was quite popular in Chang' an.
"I have some unfinished business, so I came back to take care of it."
Yang Rui did not panic in the face of such a situation. When he saw the soldier's outstretched hand, how could Yang Rui not understand the meaning behind it? He immediately threw 10 silver coins over.
