Furthermore, Yang Rui had set up a camp on the north shore of the Juye Lake in time. Those soldiers who had completed the transportation were settled down and continued to rest. They didn't expend too much energy.
Among the first twenty thousand Yang Rui's troops to cross Juye Lake were Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei. Zhang Ning, Han Dai, Ding Yao and Huang Wudie were left to guard the south side of Juye Lake in case of any accidents.
As a matter of fact, the soldiers under Yang Rui's command did not encounter many of Yuan Shu's subordinates along the way from Xiangxian County to the southwest shore of Juye Lake. Even if they did encounter some, they were only messengers or small squads that Yuan Shu had sent to various places.
Moreover, Yang Rui's troops had to pass through most of Pei Country's territory. They only passed through Peng City's territory for a short period of time. Moreover, they didn't pass through any cities along the way. Therefore, the probability of encountering Yuan Shu's troops was even lower.
In actuality, Yuan Shu had already sent most of his troops to chase after Liu Bei. There were not many troops left in Peng City. Even Yuan Shu himself was no longer in Peng City.
Peng City, which was south of Juye Lake, was the same situation. North of Juye Lake, which was separated by a lake, the radiation of Yuan Shu's influence was even smaller. According to the result of Yang Rui's investigation, the defense of Liu County was very weak. There were only a few thousand people guarding it. What did he see?
Most importantly, the defenders of Liu County were not Yuan Shu's troops. There was still a banner with the word 'Liu' on it. It was obvious that Yuan Shu had not managed to take over Liu County. The city should still be under Liu Bei's name.
Under such circumstances, the defenders of Liu County would be affected by the effects of the Imperial Jade Seal and the four Cauldrons of Heaven and Earth. Their situation would be very similar to Cao Cao and Lu Qian's forces in Xiang County. Not to mention that there were only a few thousand of them, even if there were ten times, or even a hundred times more, they would still be in a passive state!
Therefore, after dawn, Yang Rui only left Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and a small part of the guards on the shore, while Yang Rui, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong led the twenty thousand soldiers who had completed the crossing and marched straight to the Liu County.
After two hours, Yang Rui, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and the twenty thousand soldiers had arrived not far from Liu County. If it wasn't for the fact that Yang Rui still had to take over Liu County and make it his own territory, Yang Rui could have just used his siege weapons and flattened it!
In the end, Yang Rui's troops to attack the city with their bare hands.
Even so. Want to see? Under the dual effects of the four Cauldrons of Heaven and Earth and the Imperial Jade Seal, the defenders of Liu County were unable to put up much resistance. Yang Rui's troops had already taken over the four city gates and entered the city.
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, congratulations on obtaining control of Xu Province's Peng Cheng Liu County. After occupying the city until the end of the Battle of Xu Province storyline (27.89 game days), Liu County will become your territory. "
Liu County had been successfully taken over and was now in Yang Rui's hands. Yang Rui handed over the matter of pacifying the Liegeman NPs to Guo Jia and used his flying pet to head to Guang Qi County to continue scouting.
At this moment, Yang Rui's troops were also speeding up the crossing of Juye Lake. By noon, Yang Rui had finished scouting out the situation in Guang Qi County and arrived at Liu County. Another ten thousand soldiers had already arrived at Liu County.
As for the soldiers in the camp on the north shore of Juye Lake and on the way to Liu County, it was roughly the same number. Due to the limited number of ships, The speed of the transportation was basically set.
Based on this speed, to complete the transportation of Yang Rui's troops, it would take about a day and a night. Compared to going around Juye Lake, it would still save a lot of time. Furthermore, Yang Rui's troops had already entered the siege, so the efficiency was even more obvious.
After Yang Rui had investigated the situation in Guang Qi County, he immediately mobilized the ten thousand plus troops and General Huang Zhong to charge towards Guang Qi County in the north.
Only Zhao Yun was left to lead twenty thousand troops to defend Liu County. At the same time, Lu Qian was locked up in the jail of Liu County.
During this period of time, Zhao Yun kept him by his side and locked him up. Lu Qian did not have any positive reaction, so it was not convenient to keep him by his side. Hence, rather than wasting time and effort, why not just lock him up? Sometimes, there was a lack of such an environment.
Guang Qi County and Liu County were close to each other, and the distance was not too far. When they arrived, Yang Rui and Huang Zhong had already led their troops to Guang Qi County. Striking while the iron was hot, they started to attack Guang Qi County.
Compared to Liu County, the situation in Guang Qi County was very similar. On top of the city walls, there was still a large flag with the word 'Liu' written on it. Furthermore, the number of guards within the city was even lesser than Liu County.
Therefore, there was no suspense in the subsequent siege. Using the fog effect of the Imperial Jade Seal and the pressure effect of the Four-legged Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, Yang Rui and Huang Zhong easily conquered Guang Qi County. The time they used was even shorter than when they attacked Liu County.
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, congratulations on obtaining the control of Xu Province's Peng City, Guang Qi County. Occupying this city until the Battle of Xu Province storyline ends (27 game days), Liu County will become your territory."
Following this, Yang Rui naturally took action personally to conquer the people within Guang Qi County. Guang Qi County was located at the extreme northwest of Peng City and was not far from Yang Rui's territory. Hence, the people of Guang Qi Region were familiar with Yang Rui's name. They had also heard of the prosperity and comfort of Yan Province.
Hence, when Yang Rui came out to pacify the people, the results were not bad. The people of Guang Qi County did not react too strongly to Yang Rui occupying two counties. In fact, many of them were secretly happy.
After a day, more than half of Yang Rui's troops had crossed Ju Ye Ze. Of the remaining troops, more than two-thirds of them were from large organisations. Yang Rui's wives, Zhang Ning, Han Dai, Ding Yao and Huang Wudie had also crossed Ju Ye Ze. Only a few mid to low ranked generals remained to lead the remaining troops.
Under such circumstances, Yang Rui did not stop. On the morning of the second day, Yang Rui and Huang Zhong left Guang Qi County, leaving behind a few mid to low ranked generals and 10,000 soldiers to defend the city.
At the same time, Yang Rui brought along Zhang Ning, Han Dai, Ding Yao, Huang Wudie and the 40,000 soldiers who had arrived at Liu County and headed towards Lang Xie County and Dong Hai County. (To be continued.)
