"Who are you? Tell me your name! "
Yang Rui shouted at a captive Cao Cao in the small meeting room of Sky City.
This general was short and his hands were tied behind his back. Because he had already been stripped of his weapons and armor, his exposed body looked very sturdy. Whether it was his waist, back, or arms, all the muscles bulged, looking very explosive.
It was only because Dian Wei and Zhao Yun worked together that they were able to capture it easily.
"Humph …
… "
Faced with Yang Rui's question, the sturdy general only snorted and turned his head to the side, showing no intention of responding to Yang Rui.
"Men, take him away."
Since the other party refused to cooperate, Yang Rui did not ask any more questions. He quickly ordered the soldiers to take the sturdy general away.
If it were any other general, Yang Rui might have tried to persuade him to surrender. However, a general who could command the Tiger Leopard Cavalry had to be from Cao Cao's family. Yang Rui did not think too much about it from the start.
This could be easily seen from the large "Cao" character on the general's banner. It was just that he did not know which general of the Cao family he was from.
Although the sturdy general could not be easily persuaded to surrender, Yang Rui's side had achieved a complete victory in the battle just now. Cao Cao's 20000 Tiger Leopard Cavalry had been wiped out by Yang Rui's troops without any suspense. Not a single one of them was left alive.
In the entire process, Gao Shun and his Formation Breaker had resisted the charge of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry. Relying on the "shared life and death" attribute of the Formation Breaker, the Tiger Leopard Cavalry's charge, which had been greatly reduced due to the limited range of movement, did not cause much trouble to the soldiers of the Formation Breaker.
Next, Yang Rui placed the spearmen at the front of the encirclement, which also had a restraining effect on the cavalry that had not been able to charge up.
All in all, Yang Rui's troops had relied on their advantage in numbers to surround Cao Cao's twenty thousand Ferocious Cavalry in the center, resulting in a complete annihilation. It could be said to be simple and crude, but the efficiency was also the highest.
While Yang Rui was controlling Sky City to rush to Qingzhou, Sun Qian, who was in Linzi City, was not idle either. Before Yang Rui's messenger pigeon had even returned, he had already sent word to all the counties in the north near the Yellow River and the Ji River. Fortify the defense and clear the field.
At the same time, Sun Qian was also actively mobilizing his troops, preparing to personally lead them to the counties near the Yellow River and Ji River to defend against the enemy.
"State Minister, there's a hierarchy of priorities. At this time, Husband is still in Xu Province, and it just so happens that the northern Ji Zhou Yuan Shao is coming to invade. We sisters were originally born in the army, we just happen to share Husband's burden. We ask the State Minister to send several tens of thousands of troops each. Let's split up to defend against Yuan Shao's army. "
Sun Qian was waiting for Yang Rui's reply, and was preparing to send out his troops within an hour. At that time, even if he missed Yang Rui's messenger pigeon, he would still be acting at his own convenience.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhang Ning and the other madams came to find him, saying that they would personally lead their troops to meet the enemy! This was a situation that Sun Qian had not expected.
Before the imperial wedding, Zhang Ning had always followed Yang Rui on his campaigns. Moreover, Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain ability had reached a level that made the enemy tremble in fear. She was known as the "Fire Lady".
Han Dai had also helped her father defend the city in Pingshu County, east of Ji Zhou, and was able to take charge of commanding troops. It could be said that she had a wealth of experience.
Only Ding Yao had never had such an experience. No one even thought that she was actually a general. However, when Sun Qian informed them of Yuan Shao's attack, Ding Yao immediately went to find Zhang Ning, taking the initiative to ask about taking her husband's place.
"Madam Yuju, Madam Die Lian, Madam Cheng Yue, these madams have incomparably precious bodies. How could they so easily take risks?"
When Sun Qian was overseeing Linzi City's affairs alone, he had always sent important information to the various madams. At this time, Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao had all come together. They had also received the news from Sun Qian.
However, Sun Qian truly did not expect these madams to have such a reaction. He had informed Zhang Ning and the others of Yuan Shao's attack for two reasons. One, it was a routine matter, and the other was to ensure that these madams could properly guard Linzi City.
"State Minister, please do not decline. Right now, the troops under my husband's command are at the city gates. It is time for us to help my husband share the burden. Moreover, the three of us have experience in battle. Leading troops is not a difficult task for us. "
Zhang Ning did not take Sun Qian's words to heart and continued to insist.
"This …
… I cannot go against Madam Yuju's words. However, Yu 'er is still young and needs someone to take care of her. The affairs of Linzi City also need someone to supervise. Thus, it is better to leave the matter of leading troops to Sun Qian. The madams can just oversee Linzi City …
… "
"State Minister, there is no need for this. Little Yu 'er and the affairs of Linzi City can be taken care of by us. I approve of Madam Yuju, Madam Die Lian, and Madam Cheng Yue leading the troops. The remaining matters can be left to us. If my husband is here, he will have no objections!"
"Madam Junhe …"
Madam Sijun, Madam Yuanjun, Madam Yijun, Madam Yanlin, Madam Wuling …
… "
Sun Qian originally wanted to say a few more words. However, Ren Sisi, Cai Yan, Diaochan, Wei Xiu'er, Gan Qian, and Mei Zhen all rushed over. They actually fully supported Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao.
This was especially true for Ren Sisi. As a player who shared the same identity as Yang Rui, everyone gradually understood her relationship with Yang Rui in the real world. Sun Qian had to seriously consider her and Zhang Ning's opinions.
Apart from the two of them, Diaochan's identity was also rather special. At this moment, she had already been brought to the real world by Yang Rui. Furthermore, it seemed like she fully supported Ren Sisi's opinion. Sun Qian actually had no way to refute her.
An hour later, Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao were all dressed in martial attire. Together with Sun Qian, they led an army of 250,000 soldiers west out of Linzi City and towards Pingyuan Prefecture. In the end, Sun Qian agreed with the madams' opinions.
There were over 350,000 soldiers stationed in Linzi City and the surrounding areas. This was also the reason why they were able to gather so many soldiers so quickly.
With the distance between Linzi City and the Yellow River and Ji River, it would be difficult for them to catch up to Yuan Shao's forces. As such, after discussing with Sun Qian, Zhang Ning, and the other two madams decided to send reinforcements to Pingyuan Prefecture, which was the closest.
At this point, Fire Lady Zhang Ning, who had once terrorized Yuan Shao's faction, once again embarked on the journey after becoming a mother.
By the time Sun Qian and the others sent out their troops, they still had not received any news from Yang Rui. However, Yang Rui's reply was nothing more than strengthening the defenses of the Yellow River and Ji River, as well as strengthening the defenses.
