Liu County and Guangqi County were protected by the Juye Lake. Zhao Yun was temporarily stationed in Liu County to watch over them. Guo Jia and Dian Wei were also stationed at the northern shore of Juye Lake to provide support. The forces in this area were sufficient for the time being. ∈ Xue.
At the same time, Yang Rui also sent out scouts to Xu You and Guan Hai from Taishan County to assist in the capture of various cities. He also ordered Gan Ning to set up defenses from the lower reaches of Juye Lake to the sea once the transportation was complete. This was to prevent any possible Yuan Shu attacks from the north.
Even Yang Rui's troops split up after capturing Fuyang and Wuyuan. Yang Rui and Huang Zhong led 200,000 troops to the northern part of Xiapi County, while Han Dai, Ding Yao, and Huang Wudie led 100,000 troops to the northern part of Donghai County.
Zhang Ning was stationed in Wuyuan County, which was closer to the southeast. Fuyang County, which was closer to the northwest, was also defended by only 10000 troops.
Fuyang and Wuyuan were also very close to each other. With Zhang Ning overseeing Wuyuan and relying on the river to block the southern road, it was almost impossible for the southern Yuan Shu to threaten Fuyang County, which was closer to the northwest.
By the time Yang Rui captured Fuyang and Wuyuan Counties, Yang Rui's troops, which included more than 400,000 players, had all completed their transportation. Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and Gan Ning were also freed up.
In the end, Zhao Yun left behind 100,000 troops to guard Liu County, guard the surrounding Guangqi County, and defend against the Juye Lake. Guo Jia and Dian Wei also led their troops eastward, chasing after Yang Rui.
At the same time, Gan Ning followed Yang Rui's orders and helped defend the area from Xiangxian all the way to the estuary, constantly patrolling.
Just like that, Yang Rui's troops split up, charging toward the northern region of Xuzhou like a flood.
Yang Rui's troops had the absolute advantage in terms of military strength, and with the help of the Four-legged Cauldron of Heaven and Earth and the Heirloom Seal of the Kingdom, they were invincible and undefeatable. They quickly took over one city after another with minimal losses.
What was worth mentioning was that after the Broken Moon Alliance completed Yang Rui's support transportation quest, they received a shocking 3 million Story Completion Points. If there was a plot completion ranking, Broken Moon Guild's boss, Crippled One, would definitely be ranked at the top!

Yang Rui's troops advanced together from all directions like a hot knife through butter. They continuously took down county after county and small cities, and at the same time, pushed deeper into Donghai County and Xiapi County.
This was especially true for Han Dai, Ding Yao, Huang Wudie and their 100,000 troops. After entering Beihai County, they found that there were only two to three thousand soldiers defending each city. The three women even tried to split up their troops and advance again. Each of them only brought 30,000 soldiers and quickly took down one city after another.
Because Donghai County was close to the north, Han Dai, Ding Yao, and Huang Wudie discussed and decided that they would only leave behind 2,000 soldiers to defend each city they took down. They would also send out scouts to send the relevant information to Liu County. This would allow the reinforcements to quickly fill in the gaps in the defense.
At this time, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu's main forces were also in Xiapi County.
According to the information obtained by Yang Rui's scouts, Yuan Shu's army had already fought with Liu Bei's army in Xiapi City. The result was Liu Bei's defeat. In the end, Liu Bei fled to Xiapi County, which was even further southeast.
As for how Liu Bei was able to march through the fog, no one knew the details. According to the information brought back by the sentries, Liu Bei's army seemed to have a player leading the way. Moreover, the army also seemed to have a specific slogan that was constantly transmitted to achieve the effect of guiding the army.
Before the Battle of Xiapi happened, Liu Bei seemed to have already predicted the outcome of the battle. He had issued the relevant quests in advance and entrusted a large number of players to escort the large number of people from Peng City and Xiapi County to Xiapi County. He did not seem to be in a rush.
It seemed that during the Battle of Xiapi City, Liu Bei did not rush. It was only to obstruct the footsteps of Yuan Shao's troops and create an opportunity to move the people away. From the start, Liu Bei did not intend to win.
Although Liu Bei's true intentions were not clear, from the time Liu Bei retreated from Peng City to the end of the Battle of Xiapi, it took a total of four and a half days. It did indeed delay for some time.
On the other hand, the fog of the Imperial Seal could last for ten days. In other words, if Liu Bei could delay for another four or five days, he would no longer be affected by the fog. Perhaps, this was Liu Bei's goal.
Even though Yang Rui had discovered Yuan Shu and Liu Bei's movements and knew that they were not far from Liangcheng County, Yang Rui decided to leave 20000 men to defend Liangcheng County. Then, he and Huang Zhong went to Siwu and Qu Yang to the east.
Within Xiapi County, Liangcheng, Siwu and Quyang were the three counties that Yang Rui wanted to capture. Yang Rui had no interest in the remaining counties to the south of Xiapi County. At least, that was the case in the short term.
After a game day passed, Xiapi County once again reported the situation of the confrontation between Yuan Shu and Liu Bei. This time, Yang Rui sent out two scouts using flying pets to directly scout the situation from the sky.
From the information obtained by the two scouts, Liu Bei's situation was not optimistic. However, Liu Bei had already planned for it.
Near Xiaxiang County was Luoma Lake and the many tributaries of the Si and Wen Rivers. Not long after Liu Bei's army retreated into Xiaxiang County, the players who had arrived at Xiaxiang County had dug through a part of Luoma Lake and connected it to a tributary known as the Little Hong River, causing the water volume to increase.
