"Why is Xuande gathering his forces? Could it be that he wants to take advantage of my absence … "
"Ugh …"
“.....”
After meeting Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, Yang Rui asked about the reason for the three of them to gather their forces. He even paused his question. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's expressions were a little ugly. .
On the other hand, Yang Rui changed the direction of Sky City and left Xindu City in Ji Province. He headed straight for Cao Cao's forces in Yan Province. Along the way, he purposely passed by Dongwu County in the East County. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's forces in Dongwu County and Liaocheng County were gathered there.
Currently, the three of them had a total of seventy to eighty thousand NPCs. In addition to the thirty to forty thousand players who came from other counties, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's forces had exceeded a hundred thousand. Moreover, there were still players coming to join them. This number was still increasing.
If it were not for Yang Rui's strategy of restricting players in Qingzhou and the East County, Liu Bei would have been able to recruit far more players in the first place.
With Zhang Liao and Chen Lin's hundred thousand soldiers stationed in Jie County, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's forces did not dare to act rashly. However, it was hard to imagine what would happen when Liu Bei's forces surpassed Zhang Liao and Chen Lin's forces as more and more players came to join them.
"… Taking advantage of my absence … Liu Bei Xuande wants to share my burden and fight against the enemies in Yan Province and Ji Province together?!"
Yang Rui took a deep breath and said slowly. In fact, Yang Rui had already understood some things from Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's expressions. Currently, Yang Rui was only removing the threat at the same time. He also wanted to make use of Liu Bei's forces.
"Of course! Of course … "
Liu Bei was not prepared for Yang Rui's arrival at all. He had received the same news as the other feudal lords. Qing Province's Governor, Blazing Sun, would not be in his territory for a year. Liu Bei had combined the two counties' soldiers and called for players to join him. Naturally, he was not helping Yang Rui out of the kindness of his heart. Instead, he wanted to use this opportunity to rise.
Of course, Liu Bei still kept a lot of things in mind. Although he had gathered the forces of two counties, he did not rashly take any action. He did not reply to the inquiries sent by Chen Lin, Zhang Liao and Cheng Yu.
Liu Bei's target was not necessarily fixed on Yang Rui. He was also looking for an opportunity when the Warlords were fighting each other. He wanted to make a name for himself and snatch a good territory. Therefore, he only targeted the one who was at a disadvantage in the competition.
The target could be Yang Rui or the other Vassals. Everything depends on the situation before making a specific decision. This was also Liu Bei's shrewdness.
However, he did not expect something like this to happen. Yang Rui had actually rushed back at this time, and he had even led an army of 300,000 to 400,000. It was enough to swallow Liu Bei, Guan Bei and Zhang Liao's forces.
"In reply to Lord Prefecture Overseer and the King of Bohai, the three of us saw the bandits running amok in the Yan and Ji Prefectures and wanted to contribute our strength …"
Faced with Yang Rui's hundreds of thousands of troops, Liu Bei who had ulterior motives was naturally shocked. He thought that Yang Rui had come to suppress him. Fortunately, Yang Rui had changed his tone of voice and changed his tone of voice.
"Mm! Very good. Liu Xuande is a righteous man. This time, I am going to suppress Cao Cao. Xuande, gather your men and come with me … "
"This …"
"Big Brother …"
“.....”
Yang Rui's tone changed. Of course, his goal was not just to give Liu, Guan and Zhang a way out. He wanted to tie up Liu Bei's 100 thousand men and completely eliminate their threat around Dongwuyang and Liaocheng. While freeing Zhang Liao and Chen Lin's men, he might even be able to use them to fight against Cao Cao.
Most importantly, if Liu Bei acted against Cao Cao, regardless of the results, he would have a grudge with Cao Cao. In the future, this grudge would affect the development of both Cao Cao and Liu Bei's forces.
"… Since Lord Blazing Sun and King of Bohai have given orders, Liu Bei will naturally follow …"
"Big Brother, you can't …"
Faced with Yang Rui's arrangements, Liu Bei was initially hesitant. However, he understood that the current situation was pressing. Since the Lord of Bohai and Governor of Bohai did not blame him for his actions, he could only use this opportunity to avoid suspicion.
He had no other choice unless he immediately rebelled. However, with his current strength, he would not be able to fight against the enemy.
For a moment, Liu Bei's thoughts flashed like lightning. Guan Yu's expression also changed. However, Zhang Fei appeared to be more straightforward. He had wanted to stop Liu Bei twice in a row. What else could he do if he did not agree?
"Eh? This person looks unfamiliar. Who is he? "
Every time he faced Zhang Fei, Yang Rui would have the urge to attack him. When Yang Rui appointed Liu Bei and Guan Yu as county magistrates, he had intentionally avoided Zhang Fei. This time, Yang Rui simply pretended not to know Zhang Fei and asked Liu Bei about his identity.
The meaning of Yang Rui's expression was very obvious. Don't look at how you're blabbering here. In fact, I don't even know who you are! This highlighted Zhang Fei's lack of tact.
"This is my sworn brother. He is Zhang Fei of Yan. His name is Yide. If he has overstepped his boundaries, I hope that Lord Blazing Sun and King of Bohai will forgive him …"
Under Yang Rui's inquiry, Liu Bei obediently introduced Zhang Fei. This was the second time Liu Bei introduced Zhang Fei to Yang Rui. From this, the others could see how Yang Rui treated Zhang Fei. Don't think that you are good. We do not know you …
Zhang Fei's eyes were wide open as he glared at Yang Rui. He looked like he was about to spit fire. However, Guan Yu forcefully pulled him back.
With that, the matter was settled. Yang Rui stored all of Liu Bei's soldiers, excluding the Players, into Sky City. Then, he once again controlled Sky City to fly towards Yan Province.
