Although Yang Rui had collected a lot of materials from Chenliu County City, he still felt that it was unworthy of its position as Cao Cao's lair. The county city only had a surplus of about 200,000 gold coins. Other things such as provisions were also not much. It could be assumed that Cao Cao had spent a lot of money recently. ● Tsk.
As for Guo Jia's suggestion of meeting Wei Zi, Yang Rui put it aside after some consideration. Yang Rui really did not know how to treat Wei Zi. Wei Zi supported Cao Cao but he was also Wei Xiu 'er's father.
In fact, Yang Rui could understand. Although the Wei Family chose to support Cao Cao, it was reasonable for a big merchant to do so. In troubled times, many merchants chose to rely on one faction.
Moreover, after the Wei Family supported Cao Cao, they did not stop cooperating with Yang Rui. At the same time, it involved Wei Xiu 'er's identity. Yang Rui felt that it was not good to be too harsh on them.
However, since Wei Zi had fallen into Yang Rui's hands due to the fall of Chen Liu County City, Yang Rui naturally could not let the Wei Family have anything to do with Cao Cao.
"System Announcement: Chen Gong of Dongwuyang admires Hanoi Governor Lu Bu's ability and has joined Lu Bu's Bing Province. He will soon be stationed in Hanoi Governor Lu Bu's camp."
"System Announcement: Due to Yuan Shao's repeated instigation, Zhang Miao and Cao Cao have a rift. Zhang Miao's subordinates, Zhang Chao, Xu Si and Wang Kai, have joined Lu Bu's Bing Province. From now on, they will rely on Lu Bu's forces."
"…"
Not long after Yang Rui left Chenliu County City, two system announcements sounded one after another. They were still about the content of the "choosing a tree to live in" NPC storyline. After the first wave of famous historical generals and famous historical figures had chosen their own masters, the storyline was far from over.
Due to the rise of Yang Rui's influence, Chen Gong decided to join Lu Bu. This time, there seemed to be quite a number of historical generals and famous figures who joined Lu Bu. Under Zhang Miao's lead, almost all of them went to Lu Bu's tent.
As a result, Lu Bu's forces would definitely increase by a lot. However, after Yang Rui received the two system announcements, he heaved a sigh of relief. After receiving the system announcements, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhang Miao and the others betrayed Cao Cao and joined Lu Bu. Furthermore, it was because of Yuan Shao's instigation. Lu Bu's relationship with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao would definitely be affected.........
No matter if it was a historical fact or a romance. Chen Gong was also not on good terms with Cao Cao. To a large extent, this could also be the reason why Lu Bu and Cao Cao were at odds with one another.
Of course, these were all Yang Rui's personal guesses after receiving the two system announcements. As for how the game would progress, it was still unknown. However, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao joining Lu Bu was good news for Yang Rui. At least for a short period of time, they could restrict Cao Cao a little.
Thinking of this, Yang Rui sped up and moved Sky City toward Juancheng where Cheng Yu was. Originally, Yang Rui was hesitant about whether he should take the opportunity to attack Cao Cao's remaining seven counties east of Hulao Pass to completely cut off Cao Cao's escape route.
However, there was not much time left before the system update. Furthermore, the threat of Yuan Shao in the north had yet to be dealt with. After Yang Rui took down Chen Liu County City, he chose to head north. He wanted to deal with Yuan Shao and remove the threat of Ji Prefecture. At the same time, he wanted to help You Prefecture's Gongsun Zan.
Along the way, Yang Rui naturally wanted to pass through Yan Prefecture to check on the situation of Cheng Yu and the others. He also wanted to leave behind some of the new battle exemption tokens. This was to deal with any emergencies.
"Greetings, Lord!"
"Greetings, Lord Prefecture Overseer …"
"…"
"Congratulations, Lord Prefecture Overseer on your triumphant return!"
"…"
"…"
After Yang Rui arrived at Juancheng, Cheng Yu, Han Hao, and more than 400,000 soldiers were stationed in the city. Han Hao was temporarily transferred over from Pingyuan Prefecture by Cheng Yu. Only Du Yang and Ju Ju were left to guard Pingyuan Prefecture. In fact, Cheng Yu made this decision because he knew that Yuan Shao would not take the initiative to start a war in the north.
At the same time, the navy trained by Taishi Ci was also stationed at the borders of Qing Prefecture and Ji Prefecture. They almost completely controlled the water surface of the Yellow River and Ji Prefecture. They did not have to worry about Yuan Shao doing anything unusual.
At this moment, due to the drastic changes in the surrounding situation, Cheng Yu, Sun Qian, and the others discussed and made some adjustments to the defenses of the various regions while Yang Rui was participating in the Outland Tournament.
Other than the heavy defense of Pingyuan Prefecture. Liu Ba and Wu An Guo led nearly 400,000 soldiers and stationed them in Puyang City. Zhang Liao and Chen Lin led nearly 300,000 soldiers and stationed them in Changyi City in Yanzhou City. They helped each other with Cheng Yu and Han Hao's 400,000 soldiers to deal with Cao Cao in the south.
It could be seen that Yang Rui's previous reminder was effective. Cheng Yu and the others were very cautious when dealing with Cao Cao.
"Everyone, please don't be so courteous. Fortunately, there are many soldiers guarding the house and protecting the land when I am not around. After Traitor Cao has settled down a little, I will definitely reward everyone according to their merits …" "Alright, alright.
"…"
This was the first time Yang Rui saw Cheng Yu and the others after returning from the Foreign Realm. Naturally, he had to praise them. At this moment, Yang Rui's territory had increased by more than half to Yan Province. Moreover, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong would soon enter his tent. Thus, there was a need to reappoint and remove people.
With Cheng Yu, who was very good at defending, in Yanzhou, and at the same time, there were more than a million soldiers in Yanzhou, Yang Rui was relieved. At this moment, even if Cao Cao had a lot of new generals, he would not have an advantage in terms of overall strength.
Although Cao Cao's strength had increased, it was still a short time since the Battle of Fengqiu City. The number and strength of Cao Cao's troops were still far from Yang Rui's.
Take the Battle of Chen Liu County City as an example. Yang Rui's advantage in siege weapons was only one aspect. The strength of the Cao soldiers was indeed one or two levels lower.
Even so, Yang Rui still left Gao Shun and the 50000 Trap Camp soldiers in Juancheng City to deal with any emergencies. At the same time, Yang Rui also gave five Level 1 Battle Exemption Tokens and three Level 2 Battle Exemption Tokens to Cheng Yu. He also reminded him to focus on defense and wait for his return before making further plans.
With the intelligence of an NPC at Cheng Yu's level, he naturally understood why Inhumans like Yang Rui would temporarily leave during the system's adjustment. He also kept Yang Rui's instructions in mind.
After leaving Juancheng City, Yang Rui went north and passed by Changyi City. He also met up with Zhang Liao, Chen Lin, and the rest of the defending army and gave them a few battle exemption tokens. Only then did he control Sky City to head toward Pingyuan Prefecture.
"System Announcement: Yangzhou Huainan Prefecture's Gao Pei admires Yi Province's Liu Yan and has led 50000 soldiers to join Liu Yan's Hanzhong. They will be stationed under Yi Province's Liu Yan soon."
