The first thousand two hundred and eighty-nine chapters surrender without a fight
Yang Rui unified the troops and a group of prisoners returned to Yanzhou. When he first entered the jurisdiction, he made a series of arrangements to threaten Yuan Shao, Jizhou.
First, he stationed 200,000 troops in the city of Lanzao County, commanded by Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, and acted to cross the river and attack the land of Jizhou.
At the same time, in the area of Soyzao, Yang Rui also left about 50,000 Yuan Shu prisoners, with the purpose of squeezing their surplus labor force, upgrading Soyzao County and Yanjin Ferry, and preparing for the third large-scale system plot that will happen next.
Captives can also participate in the construction. After they are captured, their construction capabilities are equivalent to ordinary NPCs, especially for the construction of some military facilities, they still have advantages.
Secondly, Yang Rui ordered Zhao Yun to lead 200,000 troops to garrison Baima County, and also acted as a stance to send troops to Jizhou, threatening Yuan Shao's jurisdiction.
Similarly, Zhao Yun's troops also divided about 50,000 Yuan Shu prisoners to be used for the construction of Baima County and Baima Ferry, and upgraded them to prepare for the next third large-scale system plot.
The remaining 20,000 to 30,000 were mainly captured by Cao Cao, and were taken to Puyang County by Taishi Ci's naval army for the upgrading and construction of the city.
There is no practical way to deal with so many prisoners Yang Rui, so they cannot just eat idle food, so it is also appropriate to spend some labor.
As for the captured six generals, including Ji Ling, Man Chong, Cao Ang, Zhang Xun, Chen Ji, Lei Bo, Yang Rui, along with Guo Jia, Yusu Jianbingwei and other troops, they were directly taken to Chenliu County.
All six generals were fed to Zhang Rang's black pills. Without taking the antidote, the strength of these generals could not be achieved at all, and there was no difference from ordinary NPCs.
As for the exclusive special military of Yusu's Investigation Guard, Yang Rui only left 20,000 people in Silizhou. While exploring information, he also used monster-scraping and leveling.
The remaining 30,000 Ethereal Secret Ninja were transferred back by Yang Rui. The seven or eight game days he had dragged the prisoners on, which was actually the process of Yang Rui gathering these Ethereal Secret Ninjas.
Before entering Chenliu County, 30,000 ethereal secret sinners were directly deployed to Jizhou by Yang Rui using a large transport ship to investigate and collect information about Yuan Shao in Jizhou.
When gathering the Ethereal Secret Ninja, Yang Rui ordered Yusu to conquer the target of those who reached level 50, and about 1,000 of them reached level 50, and were transferred to the 5th level by Yusu Conquer the Ethereal Secret Ninja.
Yang Rui also placed half of it in Silizhou, and the remaining half was placed within the Jizhou area to strengthen monitoring of Yuan Shao in Jizhou.
The biggest feature of Ethereal Secret Ninja is to hide and escape, so its survival ability is relatively strong, and there is little problem of survival in hostile areas.
According to Yang Rui's arrangement, the direction of the sour jujube, the direction of the white horse and the direction of Puyang were ready to go. In addition, the direction of the plains also gathered heavy troops and sent troops to Jizhou, Taishici naval forces, and Fang Lan naval forces at any time to strengthen patrols and harassment.
Yang Rui's subordinate areas were in various directions to move troops. At the same time, Yang Rui also sent an envoy to Yuan Shao, Jizhou, saying that Gongsun Zan of Youzhou was an ally of his side. If he insisted on using troops to Gongsun Zan, he would definitely be attacked from Qingzhou and Yanzhou.
With so many measures, Yang Rui had just arrived in Chenliu County for two days and had already received the news that Yuan Shao of Jizhou had withdrawn from Youzhou. It was a bit beyond Yang Rui's expectations. You must know that in such a short time, Yang Rui's envoys might not have time to see Yuan Shao.
For Gongsun Zan, when Yuan Shao's army was approaching, he had almost reached the end of his life; however, for Yuan Shao, his troops northward direction was largely a test of Yang Rui's attitude.
Yuan Shao was very clear about the confrontation between Yang Rui and Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and also knew that Yang Rui went deep into Silizhou to attack and participate in disputes among all parties. First of all, Yuan Shao believed that Yang Rui might not have the spare time to take care of Youzhou affairs.
On the other hand, Yuan Shao's attitude towards Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor was also very complicated, but he subconsciously chose to gain some living space for Yuan Shu, which Yuan Shao himself was unwilling to admit.
Yuan Shao just believed that he was taking advantage of Yuan Shu's opportunity to disrupt the situation, so as to strive for more benefits for himself and settle the situation in Hebei as soon as possible.
Originally, Yuan Shao sent troops to Gongsun Zan to wait and see. During this period, he paid close attention to Yang Rui's trends. After learning that Yang Rui had returned from Sili Prefecture, he took a full-scale offensive posture. Yuan Shao immediately ordered to withdraw his troops, but he had never met Yang Rui's envoy.
After Yuan Shao withdrew his troops like this, Yang Rui immediately returned to his leisure, which was not to say that he was doing nothing. The key was that some things still needed time to slowly grind them.
For example, in the incident of Liu Bei in Guangling, Xuzhou, Gan Ning was blocking him completely at this time. At the same time, Yang Rui also sent an envoy to inform Liu Bei of the imperial edict, explaining to him that the Han Dynasty had changed the candidates for Xuzhou's shepherds at this time, and advised him to evacuate Xuzhou as soon as possible.
Although such preaching communication will not play an effective role, it is also an indispensable step, which is an ultimatum issued to Liu Bei from a legal perspective.
For example, in Yuan Shu, Yang Rui also began to contact Yuan Shu's envoy after returning to Chenliu County. The main thing involved was the return of prisoners, but Yang Rui had clearly stated that if you want to discuss the exchange of prisoners, you should first give up the jurisdiction of Xuzhou. This condition is only a prerequisite for the negotiation.
In fact, Yang Rui had talked with Yuan Shu before, using the six counties of Xuzhou under Yuan Shu as bargaining chips in exchange for the full supply of Yuan Shu's materials from Yang Rui and the Shang League. Yuan Shu also had plans to withdraw from Xuzhou.
However, after he became emperor, he lived a relatively comfortable life at first, and all matters seemed to be smooth sailing on the surface. He even fought under the Han Dynasty Luoyang Imperial City. Yuan Shu also grew a little arrogant and did not want to hand over the land of Xuzhou easily.
The most important thing is that Yang Rui was unable to eliminate Liu Bei's power in Xuzhou overnight, which also brought Yuan Shu the mentality of luck, believing that Yang Rui would not have the spare time to ask for the rest of Xuzhou territory.
It was not until recently that Yuan Shu's troops were defeated in the Qiang County, that Yuan Shu woke up suddenly, and felt sorry for his large number of generals and troops being captured by Yang Rui, so he insisted on negotiating with Yang Rui.
However, Yang Rui came up and offered the premise to hand over the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu would also have to struggle psychologically in a short period of time.
On the surface, there were not many things that Yang Rui could start at this time, but in fact, there was a surging undercurrent, and many things were brewing and fermenting, especially the plot of the third large-scale system was not far away, and internal management and adjustments also required a lot of energy to consume.
