“Choose to accept!”

Yang Rui returned to the army to complete Du Yang's follow-up mission. Now that the magistrate Zhang of Ping County has been killed, Yang Rui of course quickly chose to accept Du Yang's follow-up...

After Yang Rui became a follower, Du Yang's character information was also displayed in Yang Rui's character panel, but after all, he was just a county dictator. His identity was just like this avant-garde show, and he was only displayed as a "historical figure". It is essentially different from historical generals/historical celebrities.

Moreover, its skills are very ordinary, and only show the internal talent attribute of "rectification" and there is no other explanation.

"Du Yang (follow status): Rectify (internal affairs talent skills), improve the territorial order by 5%.

Compared with the talented skills of the Avant-Welfare Show - "Speculation", Du Yang's talented skills have improved a little lower. In fact, Yang Rui has always speculated that whether it is talented skills or acquired skills, including all kinds of unique skills, there should be grade classifications, but there is no systematic division at present.

Just like the special skills, they are divided into level one, level two, and level three. Other skills should also be divided into level two. For example, the Luoyan Gun technique mastered by Yang Rui was once praised by Zhang Rang - it should be good among similar skills, so there should be different levels among them!

Yang Rui glanced at Du Yang's character information and then rushed back to the vicinity of Heyin City. Now that County Magistrate Zhang has been killed by Yang Rui, the Dong Zhuo tribe in Ping County that besieged Heyin has also fallen apart, leaving only a few soldiers who have scattered everywhere.

After Gao Shun, Zhang Ning and other generals chased each other for a while, the large number of Dong Zhuo's troops no longer existed. Yang Rui immediately summoned his troops to clean up the battlefield. Then he assembled in Heyin City. He discussed and prepared the next plan.

Although Yang Rui now occupied the county towns of Heyin and Ping County, it was not very useful to occupy too many cities in the area controlled by Dong Zhuo’s camp. The most important thing is to capture meritorious values, points, money and various items. Therefore, Yang Rui planned to choose only one between Heyin and Ping County as a stronghold to concentrate his strength to further capture other cities.

In addition to the city, even though Yang Rui occupied two county towns, most of the villages and towns within the two county districts were still controlled by Dong Zhuo's camp. After Yang Rui freed up his power, he would also have to brush all these small-scale territories.

Because the number is placed there, the merit values, points and other income obtained from the first-level territories of villages and towns are actually quite large, and the difficulty of attacking is much simpler than that of cities. With Zhang Ning, Gao Shun and other generals, they can spread and push them over and crush many territories at the same time!

"Because our current strength is limited, I want to choose a base between Heyin and Pingxian County. What do you think?"

Yang Rui generals Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Chen Lin, Wu'anguo, and several other people, including the magistrate of Duyang County, summoned Qi and asked in an attempt.

"Chen Lin thought that General Lieyang could retain Pingxian County, which was across the river from Mengjin. It could better provide support for the fleet to block Dong Zhuo's troops from Li Jue and other Dong Zhuo from the north bank from crossing the river and prevent the attacks that affect our robbery on the south bank." Chen Lin took the lead in speaking.

In fact, Yang Rui wanted to give up Pingxian County. Even as Chen Lin said, occupying Pingxian could make it more convenient for fleet movement. With the Yellow River to block the pace of generals such as Li Jue, Heyin County also has many advantages and can also provide ship docks and other guarantees for the fleet, but it is just a little far away from the area where the fleet is active.

The most important thing is that Yang Rui took a fancy to Heyin County's shipbuilding ability. Now Heyin County Magistrate Du Yang has followed Yang Rui. When he was heading to attack Ping County, Yang Rui asked Du Yang to prepare to transport ships at the same time in case of future retreat. Construction has begun.

Furthermore, Du Yang was originally the magistrate of Heyin County and had a natural advantage in the control ability of the entire county. If he abandoned Heyin and occupied Ping County, it would be like giving up this advantage, which was relatively unprofitable.

At this time, Du Yang also had a look of wanting to speak but stopped. Obviously, he had something to say. At Yang Rui's instructions, Du Yang spoke out his opinion. In fact, just as Yang Rui expected, Du Yang still hoped that Yang Rui could occupy Heyin City and was reluctant to give up the familiar land of Heyin County.

Yang Rui finally decided to stay in Heyin County and sent people to Ping County to mobilize more than 10,000 troops led by Zhang Ning. At the same time, he ordered the fleet to travel between the dock in Heyin County and Mengjin, and tried to organize Li Jue and others to cross the river.

In fact, Yang Rui was also determined through the previous duel. Even if Li Jue and other generals crossed the river, it was not unstoppable. At most, another long-term battle to defend the city was fought. With the plot of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Dong Zhuo and others would sooner or later retreat to the west of Hangu Pass. At that time, the princes from Hulao Guandong entered the pass, and Dong Zhuo might not have time to deal with Yang Rui.

After garrisoning in Heyin County, Yang Rui resurrected the soldiers who had died in recent times. He did not clean up the villages and towns in Heyin and Ping County as soon as possible, but instead focused his attention on Gucheng. Yang Rui planned to take advantage of the opportunity that Dong Zhuo had no time to look west in Hulao Pass, and generals such as Li Jue were blocked north of the Yellow River to expand their activities in Sili as much as possible.

Previously, there was a conflict over choosing to station in Heyin County or Pingxian County. However, after resurrecting the soldiers, Yang Rui discovered that Yang Rui's troops in Dongjun were also gradually losing their soldiers. After these soldiers were resurrected, they appeared in Heyin City, which also provided Yang Rui with a way to transfer personnel in disguise.

Resurrecting a 5th-level special army requires 1,000 points, and 5th-level ordinary soldiers require 500 points, while resurrecting a 4th-level ordinary soldiers only requires 300 points. Currently, Yang Rui's points have accumulated through Sili and Dongjun at the same time, and it has exceeded 4 million points. So Yang Rui resurrected all the lost soldiers at one time, including more than 10,000 4th-level soldiers lost in the Dongjun direction.

With the addition of these soldiers, Yang Rui's strength has been greatly enhanced, and Yang Rui's hands have also gained a lot of money. So Yang Rui left Du Yang and his original team and more than 800 archers to station in Heyin County, and he led Zhang Ning, Gao Shun and five others, as well as more than 56,000 soldiers of the troops, and immediately rushed to Gucheng.

Gucheng is an important city near Hangu Pass. It is located on the main road leading from Luoyang City to Hangu Pass. It has a very strategic position. Getting Gucheng is equivalent to setting up a checkpoint on the road to Luoyang west. If Dong Zhuo moves all officials and people to Luoyang to go west in the future, he will definitely pass through this place. This is also one of the reasons why Yang Rui chose to attack the city here.

Originally, Gucheng was not far from Heyin County. Yang Rui set out from the twilight and rushed all the way for about three hours before he arrived near Gucheng County. Before the formal dispatch of troops, Yang Rui had already spent a day, causing all the thieves to investigate in Gucheng County, including Yang Rui himself, who also drove the wind flying carpet and almost moved around Gucheng.

Gucheng is also a city near the Luoshui tributary. It has hills of varying heights on both sides of the north and south, while Gucheng County is located at a low point in the middle. According to Yang Rui's recent exploration, there should not be many soldiers stationed in Gucheng.

The actual situation is indeed the case. Because of its neighboring Hangu Pass, Dong Zhuo sent more troops in the pass, while the troops in Gucheng were less than ordinary county towns.

Because he was familiar with the terrain near Gucheng, when Yang Rui led his army to the vicinity of Gucheng, he quickly cleaned up the Dong Zhuo forces around Gucheng, and ordered the soldiers to lead their troops to surround Gucheng and form a solid force.

Yang Rui and Zhang Ning led 10,000 Iron Guards and more than 5,000 rank 4 soldiers to attack the north gate, Gao Shun led 10,000 Iron Guards and more than 5,000 Iron Guards and more than 5,000 rank 4 soldiers to attack the north gate, Zhang Liao led 10,000 Iron Guards and more than 5,000 rank 4 soldiers to attack the east gate, and the soldiers prepared their own and then went to the siege.

Because his strength has increased a lot compared to before, the directions of each city gate are also supported by auxiliary skills. In addition, the siege battle happened very suddenly, and the entire siege process seemed a little calm. In a short time, Yang Rui's troops had already boarded the city wall sections in the east, west, south, and north, and quickly stood up.

The next process became even simpler. After Yang Rui's troops controlled the four city gates and various parts of the city wall, they immediately rushed to the inner city of the three prefectures from four directions. The offensive and defensive battle in the inner city almost failed to stop Yang Rui's troops for a while, and soon the entire inner city was also controlled.

"System announcement: Lieyang, a player of the anti-Dong Alliance camp, recovered the large city occupied by Dong Zhuo's camp - Gucheng County. The special reward of plot merit is 40,000 points, and the plot point system is 40,000 points. This is hereby announced."

With the release of an announcement of the Three Kingdoms Civilization Zone system, the Gucheng siege ended. It took only more than half an hour in total. Yang Rui once again took a city from Dong Zhuo's camp, and it was a large city.

During the capture of Gucheng, Yang Rui's troops attacked about 20,000 Dong Zhuo's camp troops guarding the city, and obtained meritorious points and points of 700,000 to 800,000 points respectively. At the same time, they also obtained more than 30,000 gold coins, more than 6,000 sets of various skill books, more than 100,000 units of grain, and many other items.

At the same time, the plan to trace the original plan of *Longhun and others to attack Liang County in the southeast has also changed due to the emergence of the system announcement.

"...Longhun Boss, what do you mean is that we will turn to Henan County, use the help of Lieyang to capture Gucheng County and attract Dong Zhuo's strength to capture Henan County in one fell swoop?"

"Well. Henan County is very close to Luoyang City, and its status is obviously much more important than Liang County!"
