"Hahahahaha, Yuan Benchu, how does the artillery shell taste? To tell you the truth, this King has no intention of leaving the matter at that. This King has come to avenge Ji Province's Provincial Governor Han Fu. Hahahaha, this King won't bully you. I'll give you one day to prepare for the defense of the city. In one day, this King will come to take your head!"
Seeing Yuan Shao's distressed appearance, Yang Rui burst into laughter and taunts. He still kept calling Yuan Shao "this King", blatantly threatening Yuan Shao. Moreover, he didn't give Yuan Shao any chance to explain before turning to leave.
This was the only time Yang Rui had mentioned Han Fu's situation. However, he didn't know if Yuan Shao would be able to comprehend Yang Rui's underlying intentions.
From the beginning of the threat to the later inadvertent mention of Han Fu, it was all planned by Yang Rui and Guo Jia. As for whether or not it would work, Yang Rui didn't have the slightest confidence.
However, this time, it was beyond Yang Rui's expectations. Just as he withdrew from the south gate of Xindu City and pretended to set up camp, Yuan Shao, who was in Xindu City, actually sent out a messenger at the first possible moment.
"Your Excellency Province Overseer, King of Bohai, it seems that my Lord has been misunderstood by Your Excellency. Not long ago, it was indeed Lord Han Fu who took the initiative to offer the position of Ji Province's Provincial Governor to my Lord. Moreover, Lord Han Fu is currently in Xindu. There is no need for revenge as Your Excellency King of Bohai has said."
The emissary was Yuan Shao's trusted strategist, Feng Ji. His name was Yuantu, and he was from Nanyang. At the start of the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, he had followed Yuan Shao back to Bohai along with Xu You. He had followed Yuan Shao the longest. He was also the one most trusted by Yuan Shao.
Now, Yuan Shao had sent him out. It was clear that he had been shocked by Yang Rui's previous reprimand and threats. He completely believed that Yang Rui would suddenly attack the city!
"Oh? Did that mean that Lord Han Fu was not killed?! Quickly have Yuan Benchu send him to this camp to meet this prince. Only then can we consider negotiating with Yuan Benchu. "
As a messenger, Feng Ji grasped the crux of the problem and directly put the topic on Han Fu, which was exactly what Yang Rui wanted.
When Han Dai, Han Fu's daughter, heard that her father was not in any danger, her face was filled with emotion. She seemed to have relaxed a lot. However, Han Dai had been biting her lips, trying not to show it on her face.
After that, Feng Ji was directly sent back to report. When he appeared in Yang Rui's camp again, Han Fu and her family had already been brought over. The entire process only took less than an hour.
At this time, it seemed that although Han Fu should have suffered some physical pain, her overall condition was still normal. Regarding this, Yang Rui was relieved. At the same time, he admired Guo Jiazhi's strategy even more.
In the Egyptian civilization area, Guo Jiazhi's body had recovered a lot after receiving continuous treatment from Jia Le's General Blessing. Although he had not fully recovered, there was not much of a problem for him to follow the army into battle.
If not for the fact that he had recovered to a certain extent. Jia Le's General Blessing did not have much effect on Guo Jiazhi. Yang Rui had originally planned to move Jia Le back to the Three Kingdoms civilization area.
Feng Ji was able to quickly bring Han Fu over. From this point, it could be seen that although Yuan Shao's generals in Xindu City were around, after experiencing the battle with Yang Rui last time, Yuan Shao was still a little afraid of Yang Rui and tried his best to avoid friction with Yang Rui.
The purpose of rescuing Han Fu in Ji Province had been achieved. Yang Rui just casually sent Feng Ji back, then packed up his troops and entered Sky City. The first thing he did was to rush to Yan Province in the south, which was occupied by Cao Cao.
If not for the fact that Yan Province had lost a large amount of land, Yang Rui could have gotten some interest from Yuan Shao. However, compared to Ji Province in the north, the situation in Yan Province was not optimistic. Yang Rui was temporarily unable to deal with two battles at the same time.
"Father!"
In the small meeting room of Sky City, Han Dai could no longer control herself and threw herself into Han Fu's arms.
As a woman who had just reached the age of eighteen, she would always be a little girl in front of her father.
"Dai-er! I was confused and threatened by Yuan Shao and almost lost my life this time. Fortunately, Dai-er followed Blazing Sun, the King of Bohai. "
Han Fu gently patted Han Dai's shoulder and whispered in her daughter's ear.
"Han Fu thanks Lord Governor of Lieyang Province and the King of Bohai Sea for saving my life. Han Fu is unable to repay your kindness. I hope Lord Governor and the King of Bohai Sea can forgive me!"
After comforting her daughter, Han Dai, Han Fu turned to formally thank Yang Rui.
"Governor Han Fu, there's no need for you to do this. Even without Han Dai, based on our agreement, Lie Yang would've stepped in to save Governor Han Fu.
However, at this time, Cao Cao has seized countless territories in Yan Province and is facing Yuan Shu's attack in the south. It is a good opportunity to attack from both sides and defeat him. If not, Blazing Sun would have asked Yuan Benchu for an explanation.
Even so, after Blazing Sun defeats Cao Cao in the south, Blazing Sun will definitely turn around and deal with Yuan Shao with all his strength. At that time, it is not impossible to reclaim Ji Province. However, Provincial Governor Han Fu will have to wait patiently for a while. "
Yang Rui supported Han Fu with both hands and comforted her. As for when he would be able to fulfill his promise, Yang Rui himself was not sure. Moreover, when the time came and he truly reclaimed Ji Province, Yang Rui would not give it to Han Fu for free.
"Many thanks to Blazing Sun, the King of Bohai. However, Han Fu does not have the ability to govern. If it is as you said, and we can reclaim Ji Province from Yuan Shao, even if it is only a county, Han Fu is willing to let Blazing Sun guard it."
After being tricked by Yuan Shao once, Han Fu seemed to have realized the extent of her own abilities. She said modestly. At the same time, she actually triggered his own subduing mission!
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, you have triggered the subjugation quest of Bohai Prime Minister Han Fu. If you can reclaim any county in Ji Province from Yuan Shao, you can obtain Han Fu's loyalty. Will you accept Han Fu's subjugation quest? Please make your choice! "
Perhaps it was because Han Fu had been placed under house arrest by Yuan Shao, which led to the seizure of the Ji Province, causing Han Fu to lose her status as a Marquis. Her status had changed, and now, Han Fu could actually be subdued!
"Accept!"
No matter what kind of experience or status Han Fu had, if he could subjugate her, it would definitely be a great gain for Yang Rui. Thus, Yang Rui accepted without hesitation. (To be continued …)
