The first thousand five hundred and sixty-ninth chapters
Guan Yu crossed the Yellow River and entered Sili, and the direction he was going was Dongling Pass. It is not difficult to judge that his destination should be the Wancheng area of Nanyang.
Yang Rui has been paying attention to Guan Yu's whereabouts, and the feedback on relevant information has never been interrupted. Since Guan Yu has obtained the news from Liu Bei, he will not give up until he finds Liu Bei. In a sense, Guan Yu's whereabouts will eventually point to where Liu Bei is.
Regarding Guan Yu and his group, Yang Rui not only gave Guan Yu a clearance document in advance, but also passed it through the Ethereal Secret Nervous to all the areas where Guan Yu passed through, without any obstruction or interrogation.
Especially after Guan Yu entered Silizhou, the news that Liu Biao from Jingzhou quietly sent troops to Yuzhou came. The alertness of Yang Rui's troops in the entire Silizhou increased significantly, and this was even more so in Dongling Pass facing Yuzhou.
Under the tension, the place where Guan Yu and his party passed was still unblocked, and there were many hospitality trips. Although Guan Yu himself did not say this, his expression was always improving, and his inner feelings were imaginable.
Within a day or two, several things happened in a row. Guan Yu ran towards Wancheng, Nanyang, was one of them, Liu Biao quietly sent troops to Yuzhou, and Liu Dan followed closely behind.
Just the day after Liu Biao sent troops quietly, all the three troops had not even walked thousands of miles (100 times magnified), Liu Dan had already carried out 200,000 to 300,000 troops at the junction of Badong and Jingzhou, directly threatening Liu Biao's Jingzhou area, which was not far from Xiangyang City.
This is naturally the result of Yang Rui's proper communication with Liu Dan before. At this time, it is necessary to restrain Liu Biao's gap. Yang Rui sent a message to Liu Dan again, but the other party did not refuse. He readily followed Yang Rui's plan to send the military force out.
In fact, most of the soldiers and horses of Liu Dan were disguised, with only 30,000 to 40,000 real combat power, and the rest of the troops were all dressed up by ordinary NPC leaders.
Their purpose was not to go out to fight, but to just create momentum to threaten Liu Biao, Jingzhou. Only under this premise did Liu Dan dare to let go of disguising himself as a NPC to lead the people.
Since only staying in the border areas, Liu Dan's real 30,000 to 40,000 people were hoarded in the periphery, and the disguised NPC leaders lived in the camp. Even if Yang Rui's ethereal secret ninja and flying pet units came to investigate, it was not easy to explore in depth.
Although Liu Dan and Liu Biao are both royal relatives of the Han Dynasty and the same clan, the relationship between Liu Yan and Liu Biao was already very rigid. As the situation of separatist vassal became more and more obvious, the relationship between the two sides became even shallower in the next generation, and there must be some disputes.
It would be fine if there was some friction before, but the two sides did not really fight. However, after Liu Biao, Jingzhou, learned about Liu Dan and Chen Bing's actions, was a little surprised and confused, and then the key point was that he was angry. The more he thought about it, the more he became unhappy he became.
There are actually speculations about Liu Dan's position, and the key is that Liu Dan was captured by Yang Rui, and finally gained a foothold in the eastern region of the territory with the help of Yang Rui. He confronted his brother Liu Zhang and refused to accept each other.
With such a background, Liu Biao could have thought of the key points, and it was not difficult to contact Yang Rui. He was not only shocked by Yang Rui's influence, but also a little overwhelmed by his reaction speed.
The most important thing is that the imminent threat needs to be lifted. The number of soldiers and horses in Liu Dan was quite large. After thinking about it, Liu Biao immediately sent an order, pressed down the troops sent to Yuzhou in three directions, and sent envoys to Liu Dan's place.
However, this situation was already among Yang Rui and several plans. When facing Liu Biao's envoy, Liu Dan's greatest possibility was that he had prepared some of the rhetoric, and even if it was not good, he could delay the game days.
In fact, Yang Rui did not have much hope at the possibility of Liu Biao stopping and sending troops directly. Even if the three troops were launched together, there were only less than 500,000 troops, and the remaining troops of Liu Biao were not very empty.
As a result, Yang Rui still did not understand Liu Biao's temperament. If the Cai family had not persuaded him, Liu Biao would have almost retreated all the three troops sent. He would first solve Liu Dan's threat and then make other plans.
It takes time for Liu Biao to send envoys, it takes time to negotiate with each other, and it also takes time to inform them back and forth. Neither of these parties will take much action within a few game days.
The first news that Yang Rui learned was that Liu Biao held down the troops who went to Yuzhou in three directions. As for the dispatch of envoys, it was not clear at the moment, but it was enough that Liu Dan's actions could be effective.
After Yang Rui's troops stationed near Wuji County for three days, the Eastern Road attack on Yuan, led by his clone, rushed over after capturing Xindu County. At this time, Yang Rui gathered more than 800,000 soldiers near Wuji County.
Most of the large-scale player organization departments such as Dragon Soul also gathered here, with a number of about 600,000. Except for a small number of remaining troops on both sides, Yang Rui and the player organization, all the remaining troops were stationed in various counties and above cities in Jizhou.
Due to the rush of time, Yang Rui determined the "urban route" during the fight against Yuan in Jizhou. For towns and village territories below the county level, Yang Rui only used several cavalry departments to clean up Yuan Shao's forces, and did not send troops to garrison.
"Take the Wuji County Town!"
After half a day after the Eastern Army troops reached the level, Yang Rui simply summoned all more than 10 commanding generals and the boss of a large player organization such as the tracing * Dragon Soul, and issued a siege order after a brief discussion.
A city like Wuji County, facing Yang Rui's more than 1 million troops, would be like a small boat in the sea. If Yuan Shao had not made the request to stick to the end, the defenders in the city would have already fled.
Even so, within a few game days, Yang Rui had prepared a large amount of siege materials and collected a large number of stones by demolishing the surrounding buildings. After bombarding the huge rocks, almost half of the entire east gate of Wuji County was eliminated.
Just two quarters of an hour passed, and Yang Rui's troops had completely controlled every corner of Wuji County, as simple as taking objects without any effort.
Yang Rui took over Wuji County in order to provide a forward base for attacking Lunu County, storing food, grass, supplies, and various equipment. After that, Yang Rui's subordinates went straight to the northwest Lunu County. The battle to take the city in Wuji County seemed insignificant.
