The constant emergence of famous historical figures would, to a large extent, change the strength of the vassals. ● Hiss.
It was obvious that the system wanted to maintain the game's development. Powerful vassals such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Lu Bu received a lot of care and obtained a lot of new blood.
As for vassals such as Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian, Yang Rui had not noticed any famous historical figures joining him. This seemed to have determined the fate of these vassals.
Reasons such as "admiring talents" were just a pretentious pretense.
Logically speaking, since the start of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yang Rui's contributions were extremely outstanding. Moreover, his reputation had reached the requirement to activate the relevant quest. However, there were still no famous historical figures joining him.
At this moment, Yang Rui's only advantage was the economic foundation he had accumulated, the number of soldiers, and the grade of his troops. However, the number of high-level generals and strategists was gradually decreasing.
"System Announcement: Yingchuan, Yang Di, Xu Shu admires Liu Bei's righteousness and virtue. He has joined Liu Bei's Xiao Pei and will soon enter Liu Bei's tent."
"System Announcement: Hedong, Yang County, Xu Huang admires Chen Liu's Cao Cao and will lead 50000 villagers to join Cao Cao's Fengcheng County. He will soon enter Chen Liu's tent."
Following which, Yang Rui was on his way to Ji Province. Xu Shu and Xu Huang appeared one after another, causing Yang Rui to frown.
At this moment, there was still some time before Liu Bei's official rise. Most of his followers were players. Although Xu Shu's joining of Liu Bei made Yang Rui envious, Liu Bei's forces did not pose a threat to Yang Rui for the time being.
On the other hand, Xu Huang joining Cao Cao made Yang Rui feel a sense of urgency. Including Xu Chu and Xu Huang, many of the famous historical figures who joined Cao Cao brought along 50000 soldiers. Their combined strength was not small. To Yang Rui, this was not a small threat.
…
After a game day, Yang Rui controlled Sky City and arrived near Ji Province's Xindu City.
Ever since Yang Rui obtained Bohai Prefecture, Han Fu had been under his control. After being governed by Han Fu, the capital of the Ji Province had already been exposed to the periphery of Yang Rui's power. Especially for Yang Rui, who had the Sky City, it was not much of a stretch.
At this moment, there were only seven or eight game days left until the system adjustment. Yang Rui didn't have much time left. He couldn't go to the place where Ji and You were fighting, and directly participate in the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.
In comparison, Yang Rui chose Yuan Shao's Xindu City as his target for attack. It was similar to attacking Chen Liu City. On one hand, it was to intimidate the restless Yuan Shao. On the other hand, it was to attack Wei to relieve the pressure on his ally Gongsun Zan.
With the experience of using heavy trebuchets to attack Chen Liu City, Yang Rui had also attacked Xindu City during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He was relatively familiar with it. This time, Yang Rui was confident that he could break through it.
"Full speed attack! Fire! "
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
"…"
The heavy trebuchets were prepared in advance. When Yang Rui arrived at Xindu City, he assembled all 100 heavy trebuchets at the city's south gate. After a short while, huge trebuchets whistled through the air and smashed towards the city's south gate.
At the same time, Yang Rui's siege weapons such as siege vehicles, ladders, and Da Xing Nation Destroyers were all ready. He was only waiting for the suspension bridge to fall. Then, he would launch a large-scale attack on the city. It could be said that his momentum was like a tiger's!
"System Notification: Xindu City's City Guard General Tian Feng has put up a Battle Exemption Token (One-time Item, Level 2). Chen Liu City is temporarily in a state where it cannot be attacked. This state will last for 10 game days. If the city guards attack, this state will be automatically canceled. "
Again!
Who knew that as soon as Yang Rui's siege troops fired the first wave of trebuchets, he immediately received another system notification. The content was almost exactly the same as when Yang Rui attacked Chen Liu City. Xindu City's City Guard General Tian Feng had actually used a Battle Exemption Token!
The only difference was that the Battle Exemption Token used by Xindu City's City Guard General Tian Feng was Level 2, which was longer than the low level (Level 1) Battle Exemption Token used by Chen Liu City's Cao Ren. Directly unable to attack the city for 10 game days, Yang Rui could only look at the city and sigh helplessly.
The appearance of a new item like the Battle Exemption Token could directly affect the situation of a local battle for a short period of time. Even if Yang Rui knew that Xindu City's defenses were empty, there was nothing he could do.
Once again blocked by the Battle Exemption Token, Yang Rui helplessly couldn't help but think. If this item appeared frequently on the battlefield in the future, then the battle situation would really be difficult to control.
The actual situation was actually not as Yang Rui imagined. The Battle Exemption Token was a rare item. The number was very limited, but Yang Rui just happened to encounter it twice in a row.
For example, Yang Rui had used his Outlander Tournament points to exchange for 60 Battle Exemption Tokens. In the game, other than Yang Rui, there was no one else like him. Even Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and other warlords had very few Battle Exemption Tokens.
The reason why Cao Ren and Tian Feng chose to use the Battle Exemption Token at the first moment was because they had no other choice. Chen Liu County City was Cao Cao's base, while Xindu City was Yuan Shao's base. Facing an opponent that they couldn't defeat, these two people's decisions were very decisive.
No matter what, Yang Rui definitely couldn't afford to wait for 10 game days. Thus, after Tian Feng used the Battle Exemption Token, Yang Rui very nimbly repacked the 100 Heavy Trebuchets, packed up the various equipment and troops, and directly left Xindu City.
After that, what Yang Rui was worried about didn't happen. He naturally didn't give up on attacking Xindu City. Instead, he changed his target to the surrounding cities. In the process of Yang Rui taking down Qinghe, Julu, Guang Zong, and the other cities, no other cities used the Battle Exemption Token.
With Yang Rui's large number of troops and ferocious siege equipment, after 5 game days, Yang Rui had already taken down 8 Yuan Shao's Jizhou cities. Naturally, the people and resources were also swept clean by Yang Rui. The south-central region of Jizhou was immediately thrown into chaos by Yang Rui.
One must mention Tian Feng's actions. After several cities in Jizhou were attacked and cleared out by Yang Rui, Tian Feng seemed to have sensed Yang Rui's intention. While guarding Xindu City, he quickly reported to Yuan Shao, advising Yuan Shao to focus on Youzhou's Gongsun Zan and not worry about the war in the south.
