"System Announcement: Due to Kong Dan's death, the position of Yuzhou Provincial Governor is vacant. Bohai Governor Yuan Shao's recommendation for Yuzhou Provincial Governor Zhou Ang and Nanyang Governor Yuan Shu's recommendation for Yuzhou Provincial Governor Sun Jian have engaged in a battle. Gongsun Zan's younger brother Gongsun Yue was killed by Zhou Ang, causing the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao to erupt.
During the Dong Zhuo Rebellion storyline – Surging Desires segment, the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan is considered part of the storyline. Players who participate in the battle between the two vassals will receive the same amount of storyline achievement points and contribution points … "
Yang Rui and Zhang Ning rode the Flying Carpet towards Ji County in Hanoi Prefecture. After traveling halfway, a system announcement regarding the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan was sent over, and it was repeated three times.
The information revealed by this system announcement was very clear. Due to Kong Dan's death, the battle between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu over the position of Yuzhou Provincial Governor had intensified, to the point that both the north and south had begun to fight.
After receiving this system announcement, Yang Rui's speed of pulling on the Wind Carpet paused for a moment. The two great feudal lords of the north, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, had actually started fighting each other. It seemed like the part of Guo Jia's plan to lure Yuan Shao to attack wouldn't work.
Yuan Shao would have to go all out against Gongsun Zan's vengeful attack, so how would he have the energy to spare for Qingzhou's Pingyuan Prefecture?
However, this was a good opportunity to completely eliminate Liu Dai. Both Yuzhou in the south and Jizhou in the north were busy fighting each other. Yang Rui could take advantage of this opportunity to attack Liu Dai with all his might!
At this time, Cheng Yu, Sun Qian, Guo Jia, and the others should have received the relevant information. Yang Rui should discuss with them and change his strategy to attack Liu Dai. However, Wang Kuang also needed to be saved. At the very least, Yang Rui needed to make an appearance in Hanoi Prefecture. What's more, they were already halfway there.
After pausing for a moment, Yang Rui once again rode the Flying Carpet and rushed towards Ji County in Hanoi Prefecture with Zhang Ning.
"Whoosh … whoosh whoosh …"
"Crackle! Roar … "
"… Huhu …"
“.....”
Another half a day later, Yang Rui and Zhang Ning arrived at County in Hanoi Prefecture in Hanoi Prefecture.
The County was filled with people who were seeking revenge Governor Wang Kuang, Hu Wuban, Han, Yin Xun, Wu Xun, Wang Gui, and the other clansmen who were seeking to seek revenge against Governor Wang. Hu Wuban, Han, Han, Yin, Wu, Wu, Wang Gui, and their clansmen who sought revenge against Governor Governor Wang.
Therefore, Yang Rui didn't hold back and rode the Wind Carpet with Zhang Ning to cast the Heavenly Spirit Flaming Rain skill.
A fist-sized rain of fire suddenly appeared and smashed into the tents around Ji County Seat. Streams of rain of fire followed the path of the Wind Flying Carpet as it drifted down. As soon as it landed, it ignited everything that was flammable within its range, and the fire began to spread wantonly.
"Fire! Heavens! Fire … "
"Help!"
"Run …"
"Crackle! Boom boom … "
“.....”
Yang Rui and Zhang Ning had only used the Fire's Fire's Rain of Heavenly Spirits a few months ago when Yang Rui was helping Qiao Mao deal with Liu Dai. Then, he used it twice to deal with Yuan Shao. Hu Wuban, Han Rong, Yin Xun, Wu Xun, and Wang Gui never had the chance to see it. After the raging fire spread throughout the tents, the soldiers that the enemy had put together were already in a state of chaos.
Originally, the soldiers were already heavily injured from the fire. Coupled with the soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the fire, the fire had a double effect. The soldiers besieging the city felt as if they had entered hell. There was no one to respond to their cries for help.
The reason why Yang Rui dared to come was because of Zhang Ning's Fire's Rain of Heavenly Spirits. This was because Yang Rui had asked Emissary Wang Kuang about the strength of Hu Wuban, Han Rong, Yin Xun, Wu Xun, and Wang Gui. He knew that the soldiers under their command were still quite a bit weaker than the regular army.
Moreover, it was Guo Jia's strong suggestion to analyze the enemy's strength. Guo Jia had personally experienced the power of the Fire Rain River in Yuan Shao's army. He knew very well how difficult it was to defend against Yang Rui and Zhang Ning's attack. That was why he advised Yang Rui and Zhang Ning to repeat the same trick.
The truth was just as Guo Jia had analyzed. These avengers were mostly ordinary soldiers of Fourth Grade. They lacked powerful generals and long-range archers. As such, Yang Rui and Zhang Ning did not encounter any decent retaliation during their Fire's Rain of Heavenly Spirits.
Whoosh … whoosh whoosh …
"Run!"
"Ah! Sss … "
"Retreat! Retreat now! "
“.....”
An irregular army was indeed an irregular army, especially when it was formed by the private armies of five or six families. After the rain of fire fell, the panic among the soldiers was destined to be uncontrollable. At this moment, escaping had become an extravagant hope!
In less than an hour, out of the seventy to eighty thousand people from the five clans, only thirty to forty thousand managed to escape from the fire. Moreover, they had already been utterly defeated. Almost every one of the surviving soldiers only knew one direction and ran for their lives ….
This was also the most thorough Rain of Heavenly Spirits that Yang Rui and Zhang Ning had ever used with the help of the Flying Carpet. If it weren't for the encirclement army being engulfed in a sea of fire, Zhang Ning would have been able to continue casting Fire's Rain of Heavenly Spirits without any interruption.
Wang Kuang's soldiers in Ji County City were all dumbfounded as the Rain of Fire and Fire raged outside the city! The effect of the Rain of Heavenly Spirits paired with the Flying Carpet was truly astounding. In particular, this was the first time Wang Kuang's soldiers had seen something like this.
Roar … "
“.....”
It wasn't until the encirclement army was completely routed that Wang Kuang's soldiers began to cheer in victory. The entire Ji County City was in an uproar.
"I am the Governor of Qing Province, Blazing Sun. I have come to assist Governor Wang Kuang in battle at his invitation! Governor Wang Kuang, please come and meet me … "
Yang Rui rode the Flying Carpet to the east gate where there were fewer flames and shouted at the soldiers on the city gate.
Although the guards of Jixian County were shocked by the scene outside the city, they were already clear that the fire in front of them was caused by Yang Rui and Zhang Ning. Moreover, after hearing Yang Rui's identity as the Prefecture Overseer of Qing Province and that he was here to help, they did not dare to delay for a moment. They quickly split up and went to find Prefecture Chief Wang Kuang to report.
With such a huge commotion outside the city, Wang Kuang had already climbed up the city walls. However, he wasn't at the east gate. His subordinates quickly passed on the news of Yang Rui's arrival to Wang Kuang.
"Wang Kuang greets Lord Prefecture Overseer of Lieyang Province. Thank you, Lord Prefecture Overseer, for coming all the way here to save me and using thunderous methods to save Ji County!" When Wang Kuang saw Yang Rui, he bowed deeply and said with a rather moved expression.
Before this, although the enemy forces around Ji County had retreated after suffering heavy losses, Wang Kuang was still in doubt and didn't know who was responsible for it. Now that he knew that it was only Yang Rui and Zhang Ning, he couldn't help but feel gratitude and admiration. His attitude towards Yang Rui became even more cordial.
In truth, Yang Rui's purpose in coming to Ji County this time was mainly to show his face and make his intentions clear. Then, he would use the righteous cause of assisting Wang Kuang to make it easier for his troops to leave the border. As for the results of his actions, it wasn't too important.
The fact that he was able to so easily defeat Hu Wuban, Han Rong, Yin Xun, Wu Xun, Wang Gui, and the rest of the avengers had exceeded Yang Rui's expectations. In truth, the main reason for this was that the quality of the avengers was relatively low. They lacked powerful generals and long-range firepower. Moreover, they were caught off guard by the sudden rain of fire.
"You mustn't be like this in the public interest. Back then, you eliminated Yuan Shao's henchmen for the benefit of the eighteen feudal vassals. Now, the other feudal vassals are distancing themselves from the public interest. This is a breach of justice and a breach of trust. I have long despised this. Acting in the public interest has led to such a situation. People can be abandoned, but not Blazing Sun … "
"Governor Blazing Sun is truly a righteous and trustworthy person!"
“.....”
Yang Rui's purpose in coming here this time was in the name of righteousness, so there was naturally no lack of words. However, Yang Rui's actions had caused the avengers to retreat. No matter how much he tried to embellish the situation, it wouldn't be too much.
Governor Wang Kuang firmly believed Yang Rui's words and naturally expressed his gratitude. Soon after, he invited Yang Rui to the inner city of Ji County's three prefectures to host a banquet.
"Han Hao greets Lord Governor Blazing Sun! I heard that Lord Governor had come to help the governor, so I came to pay my respects. "
After Wang Kuang's banquet had been going on for a while, Han Hao, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, arrived at the banquet with the help of two other people.
Previously, Yang Rui had learned from Wang Kuang that due to Hu Wuban, Han Rong, Yin Xun, Wu Xun, and Wang Gui's clansmen seeking revenge, Wang Kuang had been pursued all the way from Henei Commandery's Huai County to the current Jixian County. During this time, Wang Kuang had suffered heavy casualties and was truly in a sorry state. Fortunately, Han Hao had not abandoned him and had killed a total of five or six enemy generals. Only then was Wang Kuang able to retreat to this place.
However, Han Hao had been surrounded by several enemy generals and had sustained heavy injuries. In fact, he had almost lost his life to the enemy's weapons! Only now did Yang Rui realize the severity of Han Hao's injuries when he saw him.
Han Hao was Du Yang's nephew. He had come into contact with Yang Rui because of Du Yang's matter during the war. He had once ridden alone with Yang Rui to express his gratitude. At that time, Yang Rui had even given Han Hao a sword as a gift.
"Yuansi is indeed a loyal and righteous person. I've heard Gong Jie praise Yuansi's contributions, but I didn't expect you to be so severely injured! Come, sit down and talk … "
When he saw Han Hao arrive, Yang Rui immediately stood up and helped him over, carefully sitting him down.
