In the storyline, the smallest unit was the Feudal Lord. Lu Bu, Li Jue, Guo Si, and the others who were willing to sacrifice themselves for Dong Zhuo were also considered as Feudal Lords by the system after their deaths.
However, the large Player organizations like Dragon Soul, which were originally on Yang Rui's side, were unable to form a Faction. If they chose to target Yang Rui, their Achievement and Contribution Points would be erased. This was something that they were unwilling to accept.
In fact, as long as they did not target Yang Rui, these large Player organizations could attack any Faction other than the Feudal Lords in Qingzhou. Of course, this included the various factions west of Hangu Pass.
However, Hangu Pass was too dangerous. Now that Dragon Soul and the other Player organizations had their own territories, the Player organizations mainly focused on defense near Hangu Pass. Even the Players sent to deal with Liu Dai were not their main force. Dragon Soul and the other Player organizations sent them to earn Achievement and Contribution Points.
Reality proved that Dragon Soul and the other Player organizations were not thorough enough. They were unable to pass through Hangu Pass in the west, but they did not expect that Hulao Pass in the east, which was guarded by Cao Cao, would also not let them pass.
On the surface, Cao Cao did not seem to belong to any Faction. However, he was secretly on the same side as Yuan Shao. At least, that was the case for now. On the surface, the various Player organizations were Yang Rui's men. Naturally, Cao Cao would not allow them to pass through Hulao Pass.
However, Cao Cao did not seem to want to provoke these Inhumans. He only blocked Dragon Soul and the other Player organizations to the west of Hulao Pass to prevent them from threatening his and Liu Dai's territory.
As a result, Dragon Soul and the other Player organizations had no choice but to turn around and retreat.
However, they did not give up so easily. According to the Yellow Turban Rebellion storyline, Currently, the Achievement and Contribution Points of the Player organizations, including Dragon Soul, were close to a certain threshold. If they could use this last bit of time to compete for Contribution Points and Achievement Points … Then, he might be able to obtain a higher level of reward.
As a result, these player organizations naturally wouldn't give up so easily. After Cao Cao blocked their path, the various player organizations gathered a large number of players near Hulao Pass to the southern bank of the Yellow River in Gong County. They also mobilized various ships to cross the Yellow River and rescue Hanoi Prefect Wang Kuang.
Yang Rui's reason for dispatching his troops was to rescue Wang Kuang from Hanoi. As part of Yang Rui's team, crossing the Yellow River to rescue Wang Kuang was undoubtedly a priority for Dragon Soul and the other player organizations. The reason why the player organizations didn't choose to do so was because it wasn't in their interests.
Ever since the various player organizations established themselves in the various counties around Luoyang, they had considered the future. In their eyes, Hanoi Prefecture was like the back garden of the Hanoi Prefectures. When the player organizations were strong enough in the future, they would take over all of it!
Because of this, a chaotic Hanoi Prefecture was naturally more advantageous than a situation where Wang Kuang held all the power. The player organizations also hoped that Hu Wuban, Han Rong, Yin Xun, Wu Xun, Wang Gui, and the others could wear Wang Kuang down. In the end, they could capture Wang Kuang and maintain the chaotic situation in Hanoi Prefecture.
However, for the sake of Achievement Points and Contribution Points, the various player organizations had no choice but to make a move on Hu Wuban, Han Rong, Yin Xun, Wu Xun, Wang Gui, and the others. Yang Rui had dispatched his troops in the name of rescuing Wang Kuang. It was only natural for the player organizations to cross the Yellow River and attack the revenge army.
Yang Rui didn't expect that it was only because he had borrowed the name. However, he had inadvertently attracted a large number of powerful player reinforcements for Wang Kuang!
Of course, the current Yang Rui didn't know about all of this. After sending off Cripple One, Yang Rui, Zhang Ning, and Guo Jia were discussing how to break into Shouliang City.
"System Notification: Yuzhou Provincial Governor Sun Jian's possession of the Imperial Jade Seal has been exposed, causing others to covet it. Jing Province Governor Liu Biao has been instigated to send Huang Zu to Fancheng and Deng County to attack Sun Jian. The conflict between Liu Biao and Sun Jian has erupted.
During the Dong Zhuo Rebellion storyline, the battle between Sun Jian and Liu Biao will be considered as part of the storyline. Players who participate in the battle between the two vassals will be able to obtain the same amount of storyline merit points, points … "
At this time, another regional system notification regarding the conflict between the vassals was sent out. It was repeated three times. Although there was a delay, the battle between Sun Jian and Liu Biao had finally erupted.
As the Imperial Jade Seal was the reward for Sun Jian's quest, the news of Sun Jian obtaining the Imperial Jade Seal was only known by Yang Rui. Now that it had been exposed, it was likely that only those close to Sun Jian would have the opportunity to spread the news.
Moreover, Yang Rui also noticed that the system had changed Sun Jian's position from Changsha Provincial Governor to Yuzhou Provincial Governor. From this, it could be seen that the system had already begun to recognize vassals and vassals.
From this information, it was possible to deduce some rules in the game. Although the Han Dynasty still existed, it had lost most of its functions. Two Yuan's position as Yuzhou Provincial Governor was no different from when Yang Rui was originally Taishan Provincial Governor.
As long as a vassal had the strength to occupy a province, it would not be difficult to request for a decree. Sometimes, it was not even necessary to request for a decree. Didn't Yuan Shao forge official seals and documents before?
At the same time, this could also provide some convenience for Yang Rui. It all depended on how the system rules were used.
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, in the art of war, the combination of the strange and the right, and the strange leads to victory. Although the Liu Dai Army cannot be compared to the Qing Province Army, the other party is not clear about the strength of our side. We need a great head-on victory to show our military strength.
Shouliang City is an intermediate city, its defense and number of guards cannot be compared to a normal county. It is just right for us to take it and show our might.
If it was just to weaken Liu Dai like before, then it would be fine. There is no need to care too much about the gains and losses of a single city or pool. Since we have dispatched troops this time with the intention of eliminating Liu Dai in one fell swoop, it is best to kill all of his soldiers to prevent future trouble. "
When Yang Rui was discussing the matter of attacking the city, Guo Jia spoke.
Originally, Yang Rui thought that Guo Jia would come up with a good plan. He did not expect Guo Jia to suggest attacking the city head-on. However, after thinking about it, it was understandable. Using a plan in war was an important method. However, not everything could be achieved with a plan. True strength was still the foundation.
"However, Lord Province Governor, there is no need to panic. We still need to wait for the siege weapons from Pingyuan County. When the time comes, we will be able to give the enemy a thunderous blow," Guo Jia continued.
The siege weapons that Guo Jia spoke of were the two manufacturing blueprints that Yang Rui had obtained in Heyang City. They were the finished products of the scaling ladder manufacturing blueprint and the battering ram manufacturing blueprint.
These two manufacturing blueprints did not have high requirements for materials and locations. They only required Special Carpenters to preside over the construction. Among the technical NPCs that Yang Rui had blackmailed from Dong Zhuo, there were two Special Carpenters. They could lead the construction of the two siege weapons, so Jiao Wen did not need to take action.
Moreover, Green Province currently had Sun Qian overseeing it, so the production efficiency had increased severalfold. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion storyline, Yang Rui had also exchanged for a lot of production efficiency scrolls. After using them, the production efficiency of the two siege weapons increased significantly.
Previously, Yang Rui had produced a total of 400 scaling ladders and 100 battering rams. He had placed all of them in Pingyuan County to deal with Yuan Shao in Bohai County. However, he had not expected to use them on Liu Dai. Hence, he needed to transfer them over.
At this time, half of the siege weapons should already be on their way. The other half would be used by Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo.
Guo Jia's mention of waiting for the siege weapons was in line with Yang Rui's thoughts. With the siege weapons, he believed that the number of casualties during the frontal assault would be reduced. Of course, this was what Yang Rui wanted to see.
Although he currently had the plot points to revive soldiers, if he lost too many soldiers, the same situation as back in Heyang City might happen again. His plot points might be depleted.
Hence, Yang Rui followed Guo Jia's advice and continued to surround Shouliang City. He was waiting for the siege weapons to arrive.
"Report! General Gao Shun, General Zhang Liao, and General Wu Anguo have achieved a great victory. The three generals have separately attacked Chiping, Liaocheng, and Linyi two days ago. They are currently cleaning up Liu Dai's forces in the three counties.
Not long after Yang Rui, Zhang Ning, and Guo Jia discussed, a fast horse entered Yang Rui's main camp and reported the battle situation of Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo.
Based on the distance between the two lines of troops, it should have been possible to send a message once a day. However, Yang Rui's troops were in a marching state, so the messenger had to pass around several times before finding their way here.
"Good! Very good! "
Hearing such good news, Yang Rui was naturally elated and stood up from his seat. What he did not expect was that Gao Shun and the other two generals had actually split up and taken down a county each. Their progress was even faster than his own!
"Pass down the order to Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo. They will be rewarded according to their merits when they return to Qingzhou. I hope they can continue to work hard and achieve new merits!
At the same time, inform the three generals that they must rely on each other and advance in an orderly manner. They must not be rash and arrogant because of their merits. They must not slack off … "
Yang Rui ordered the messenger to commend Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo. At the same time, he did not forget to give Gao Shun and the others some instructions. He was not too worried that Gao Shun and the others would lose the battle as long as they did not suffer too many losses.
At the same time, the messenger also brought news of the siege weapons. He said that they would arrive near Shouliang City in a day at the latest …
In the end, the siege weapons arrived at Shouliang City a little earlier than the messenger had estimated. On the afternoon of the second day, the components of the siege weapons had already arrived at Yang Rui's tent and were being assembled in an orderly manner by dozens of accompanying carpenters.
