The General Cao Cao captured by Yang Rui's pursuers was Xiahou Yuan!
It seemed that Cao Cao always liked to use his own generals as backup. During the crusade against Dong Zhuo, it was always Cao Ren who took this position. Now that Cao Ren was captured by Yang Rui, it was changed to Xiahou Yuan. Xiao Luo said,
"I have heard of the great name of Miaocai. You are indeed a good general with both wisdom and courage. Are you willing to serve me now?"
"Hmph! Wishful thinking …
"…"
"…"
"…"
Within Sky City, Yang Rui immediately brought up Xiahou Yuan, the captive, to symbolically persuade him to surrender. Naturally, it was to no avail.
Actually, to Yang Rui, from a certain point of view, rather than capturing Xiahou Yuan, it was better to capture Cao Cao's general who was slightly weaker. At that time, there would still be room for persuasion.
However, it was almost impossible to persuade Cao Cao's generals like Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren to surrender. Therefore, Yang Rui was both happy and regretful for Xiahou Yuan.
Previously, it was Xiahou Yuan who had shot Yang Rui and injured him. Now that he had fallen into Yang Rui's hands, Yang Rui immediately got his revenge.
Furthermore, Xiahou Yuan held an important position among Cao Cao's generals. Yang Rui's capture of him was very effective in weakening the enemy's strength.
However, with Xiahou Yuan's identity and personality, it would probably be very difficult to subdue him. He could only be imprisoned like Cao Ren and Niu Jin.
At this time, when talking about Niu Jin, it had to be said that Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were from Cao Cao's main family and would not surrender easily. However, Niu Jin was Cao Ren's most loyal follower and had also been unswerving. Until now, he had no intention of surrendering.
At this point, there were still quite a few captives who were stubborn and unwilling to surrender in Yang Rui's hands. Some of them were also historical figures who could be brought to light. Other than Cao Ren, Niu Jin, and the others, there were also the Xiongnu Great Danghu Qiu Linfeng, the Marquis of Gudu Xu Tumu, the Prince of Anping Liu Xu, as well as the recently captured Jiang Yiqu, Xiahou Yuan, and other generals.
Of course, the most important captives in Yang Rui's hands were the high and mighty Empress Dowager He and Young Emperor Liu Bian.
At this time, the two of them had slowly adapted to life under Yang Rui's house arrest. Their lives in Sky City could be considered peaceful, as if they were living in another world.
If Yang Rui hadn't decided that the two of them had other uses, He wouldn't have minded giving Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian their freedom at all.
In the battle to capture Xiahou Yuan, the fog effect of the Imperial Jade Seal had been eliminated by Yang Rui by activating the Four-Legged Cauldron of Universe. Dian Wei and the other pursuers of Yang Rui took advantage of their vision and captured Xiahou Yuan. They even wiped out more than a hundred thousand soldiers of Cao Cao's in one battle.
This battle could be said to be another great victory for Yang Rui against Cao Cao since the beginning of the Battle of Xuzhou. It was exactly because the soldiers were in chaos that Dian Wei and Huang Zhong were able to heavily injure Xiahou Yuan and capture him.
In the process, Yang Rui's men naturally gained a lot. Not only did they obtain a lot of equipment, skill books, and all kinds of resources, but they also gained a lot of credits. Yang Rui had also earned nearly 10 million Plot Completion Points. So far, Yang Rui's total Plot Completion Points had exceeded 30 million.
After Yang Rui symbolically persuaded Xiahou Yuan to surrender, the army was about to reach the borders of the Pei Kingdom. Following that, Yang Rui led the army without stopping, rushing back to the main camp at the foot of Xiangxian County as quickly as possible.
During this time, the leaders of large player organizations such as "Dragon Soul", who were also chasing after Yang Rui, found Yang Rui and made a very special request, which surprised Yang Rui.
"Boss Blazing Sun, you've achieved a great victory against Cao Cao this time. Congratulations!"
"Haha, but Cao Cao still managed to escape easily. The leaders have basically achieved their goal of weakening Lu Bu. I wonder if Lu Bu has escaped back to his hometown. Hahaha …
… "
"…"
"…"
Dragon Soul led the leaders of large player organizations to greet Yang Rui politely. Seeing that Yang Rui also stopped at the level of politeness, Dragon Soul took the initiative to cut into the main topic of this visit.
"Scorching Sun, we have always been straightforward and never hide anything. Our cooperation has always been very pleasant. This time, we have come to find you to ask for Brother Blazing Sun's opinion. Can you consider giving us a place to settle down within the Xu Province?
Of course, the same rules apply. Our player organizations will definitely pay an equivalent price, whether it's in game or in real life. As long as Brother Blazing Sun asks, we will try our best to satisfy you. What do you think, Brother Blazing Sun? "
As the saying goes, one never visits a temple without a cause. Yang Rui knew that Dragon Soul and the others must have something to say to him. However, he didn't expect these large player organizations to set their sights on Xuzhou and want to obtain a place to settle down.
Thus, after Yang Rui heard what Dragon Soul said, Yang Rui didn't know what to say. Yang Rui really couldn't react within two or three breaths.
"Oh, Brother Scorching Sun, I didn't make myself clear. The foothold I'm talking about is just a place for the ten or so player organizations to communicate with each other. We don't need a large area, just a county or a city.
If possible, Brother Blazing Sun, please consider a county near the water. As long as Brother Blazing Sun is willing, we will try our best to satisfy Brother Blazing Sun's conditions, whether it's in game or in real life. Hahaha … "
"Hahaha …"
Dragon Soul might have misunderstood Yang Rui's expression and was worried that Yang Rui wouldn't agree.
Only now did Yang Rui remember that the system announcement had already mentioned that the territories occupied by the various forces within a game month would be the final territory of their respective forces. In other words, whoever had the ability to occupy the territories in Xuzhou within a game month would have the territory eventually belong to that party.
Under such circumstances, Dragon Soul had reason to believe that Yang Rui could obtain a large territory with his own strength. That was why he requested for a territory.
"Oh? Brother Blazing Sun, why are you so interested in Xuzhou? Si Li Zhou is actually very large right? Furthermore, it's still sparsely populated. Do you think it's too small? "
Yang Rui asked casually. In fact, he didn't have any particular intention, but his question made the dozen or so leaders of the player organizations change their expressions.
"Hahaha, actually I'm just casually asking. If Blazing Sun and the others are really desperate to obtain a city or territory in Xuzhou, it's not impossible …"
"…"
Yang Rui pondered for a moment before speaking again.
