Chapter 412 Letter for Help
Chapter 412 Letter of Help
On the surface, he obstructed Yang Rui from moving to the civilians, but secretly asked Gao Shun to go to get the Hulao checkpoint. Therefore, Yang Rui concluded that Cao Cao must be playing a show for others to watch, otherwise there would be no need to have one on the surface, but secretly another on the surface.
And it is not difficult for Yang Rui to imagine that 90% of Cao Cao's actions should be used to deal with Yuan Shao and Liu Dai. Cao Cao and these two may have reached some secret agreements before, and perhaps it was because of this that Cao Cao was able to take the Henan Yin area east of Hulao Pass into his own hands.
Although the area east of Hulao Pass has also experienced wars with heroes to fight against Dong, the basic production structure has not been fundamentally damaged. Compared with the area west of Hulao Pass, which has been migrated by Dong Zhuo, the seven or eight counties occupied by Cao Cao are enough to provide him with a place to recuperate temporarily.
As for why Cao Cao just pretended to block Yang Rui, the reason is unknown. However, it is probably only two or three situations. First of all, Yang Rui's strength is not weak. Cao Cao is unwilling to offend Yang Rui too much and gets into a big opponent; secondly, Cao Cao is likely not willing to sit down and watch Yuan Shao and Liu Dai dominate the two, and he does this out of a balanced mind.
Although Cao Cao's performance is not as eye-catching as Yuan Shao, the game plot will definitely retain a lot of scenes for Cao Cao. Therefore, Cao Cao's "hero" template will work to a large extent at some time in the future, which also makes it impossible for Cao Cao to sit idly by and watch Yuan Shao grow infinitely!
No matter what the reason is, Cao Cao's release of water can be said to have provided great convenience for Yang Rui. If he was determined to defend Hulao Pass and Yang Rui in a dilemma, it would be a very difficult problem for Yang Rui.
Moreover, due to Cao Cao's disagreement, Gao Shun had sent people to Heyin to invite Zhang Ning, Zhang Liao and other Yang Rui's troops to come to support him, which saved Yang Rui a lot of time. Maybe these troops were already on the way to Hulao Pass at this time.
Therefore, Yang Rui no longer had to dispatch troops to Heyin in person. Just to be on the safe side, Yang Rui sent a quick horse to send letters to Zhang Ning, Zhang Liao and Duyang County Magistrate, and ordered Zhang Ning and Zhang Liao to rush to Hulao Pass as soon as possible according to the original plan, while Du Yang was responsible for all the remaining migration work.
Yang Rui, who was liberated, did not wait in Hulao Pass, but only ordered Gao Shun to lead his troops to defend Hulao Pass. Yang Rui himself drove the Taofeng Feiyi Gallery to Puyang City again to check Liu Dai's movements. He was still a little worried about Qiao Mao's situation.
At this time, all the other princes had passed through Hulao Pass and returned to their respective jurisdictions. Therefore, Gao Shun's guarding Hulao Pass should not have any other princes coming to "make trouble". This is also the reason why Yang Rui left Hulao Pass with confidence.
After more than three hours of travel, Yang Rui rushed to the Yellow River surface near Puyang City without untidying his saddle. After so long, Yang Rui also discovered some tips for using the Daofengfei carpet. Although the Daofengfei carpet is almost afraid of the undulation of the terrain, if the maximum speed is to be maintained, a flat terrain is still required, and the effect of using it on the river surface is the best.
The principle of this point, Yang Rui felt that it was somewhat similar to the ground-effect aircraft in reality. I don’t know if this is set in the game, and Yang Rui didn’t want to go into it too much, but the effect of using the Taofeng Fei Carpet on the water surface is indeed better.
Putting aside these experiences of using props, Yang Rui rushed to the vicinity of Puyang City and then investigated the current situation of the city in detail. As Yang Rui expected, judging from the current city defense situation, a large number of Liu Dai's troops were still stranded in Puyang City, and they should not have the intention to attack Changyi City for the time being.
However, according to the large number of ferries gathered on the banks of the Yellow River outside Puyang City, Liu Dai must be preparing to cross the river to attack Qiao Mao. After seeing these gathered ferries, Yang Rui also had an idea. If he could have one or two "Thunder and Fire Talismans" like the plot of the Yellow Turban Uprising, or even just "Spark Fire Talismans" and even just talisman papers like the "Spark Fire Talismans", there is a chance that he could burn all the gathered ships such as Liu Dai and delay the date of crossing the river for a while!
Unfortunately, Yang Rui had no relevant talisman paper on hand, and the operability of the fire-burning ferry was basically gone. Even so, Yang Rui waited until the night was late and tried it with Changhuo without giving up, but of course he failed to succeed.
This made Yang Rui even more concerned about the role of talisman papers such as "Thunder Fire Talisman" and "Spark Fire Talisman". It would be great if these yellow turban talisman papers could be made by Zhang Ning!
Previously, Zhang Ning had also successfully learned from "Taiping Yaoshu" and understood the pill recipe of [Xuyang Dan]. At the same time, he should have mastered some other pill recipes. Under Yang Rui's instruction, Zhang Ning also successfully understood the method of making talisman paper tents. Now Yang Rui camps everywhere, almost all of them use talisman paper tents, which are not afraid of water and fire, and are protected from cold and heat!
Of course, Yang Rui also instructed Zhang Ning to try to make talisman papers like "Thunder Fire Talisman" and "Sky Fire Talisman". However, it is a pity that Zhang Ning replied that high-end talisman papers like Yang Rui may only be made by characters like her father, Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Ning's own level is still far from this level...
However, Yang Rui failed to try to burn Liu Dai's ferry, but was discovered by Liu Dai's subordinates. Yang Rui had to kill for a while and then left, causing quite a bit of noise. However, due to the dark night, Liu Dai's subordinates naturally could not determine Yang Rui's identity.
Since they had to wait for Zhang Ning and Zhang Liao to arrive at Hulao Pass, they could not do anything else for the time being. Yang Rui estimated that Zhang Ning and Zhang Liao would arrive at Hulao in general, and temporarily stayed near Puyang City to continue to investigate the movements of Liu Dai's troops in order to obtain first-hand information and take timely response measures.
While investigating, Yang Rui was not idle at work and was always waiting for an opportunity to attack Liu Dai's troops. Yang Rui and Liu Dai had already had a "alliance camp-opposition" relationship, so the elimination of Liu Dai's troops could also transfer the plot merit value, points value and contribution value of the princes to eliminate Liu Dai's troops.
Although Yang Rui just randomly picked up the relatively sparse or single Liu Dai's troops, he still gained some results. While Yang Rui obtained the plot merit value, points value and contribution value of the princes, he also caused a lot of chaos to the Liu Dai's troops. This is also the result that Yang Rui was willing to see. If it could delay Liu Dai's troops' time for sending troops, it would be an unexpected gain.
Of course, the chance of this situation is very low. The movements made by Yang Rui alone will be regarded by Liu Dai as someone deliberately making trouble, and it should not attract much attention. However, Yang Rui's squat-site investigation was not without achievements. Yang Rui also achieved some gains when the sky was just light.
At that time, a fastboat set off from the bank of the Yellow River outside the east gate of Puyang City, and continued to flow up the upper reaches of the Yellow River, which attracted Yang Rui's attention. The boats that went out to move in the early morning were often fishing boats, and this boat was obviously different from fishing boats, so Yang Rui paid attention to it.
Yang Rui's initial intention was to attack and kill some of Liu Dai's soldiers on the ship to earn the plot merit value, points value and contribution value of the princes, but in the end, he intercepted a letter and a storage bag containing 10,000 gold coins from these soldiers!
"Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, personally opened!"
When Yang Rui got the letter, he guessed the origin immediately. He just talked about the style of the letter and knew that it was an important letter. The letter was sealed with red paint and there was a private seal that Yang Rui could not distinguish on the seal. When he saw the name of "Jibei Xiang Bao Xin", Yang Rui had roughly thought of the possible content before he opened the letter.
"Yuncheng Brother: Although my brother and I have only been separated for a few days, I am very worried about it! I have sent a messenger to come here, and I am not sure if my brother Yuncheng has heard of it. Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, has heard of it. Qiao Mao first returned to Dongjun, but for no reason, he took away my Yanzhou capital, Changyi City! He is very arbitrary!
Although Yuan Benchu was invincible, he had helped me capture the capital of Qiao Mao, Puyang City, but I still couldn't understand my hatred. Moreover, Changyi City was still in the hands of the thieves who stole the city. How could the people endure Qiao Mao's enslavement? As a result, I was very worried and I always wished that I could not save the people from the fire and the insults of the city, and that I could not punish the culprits of the thief.
However, my military strength is stable and Puyang City is not enough, and it is extremely luxurious to take back Changyi City. Therefore, I hope that Brother Yuncheng can send troops to help one or two, and jointly attack Qiao Mao and then quickly. At that time, I will rate the territory under Qiao Mao for Brother Yuncheng, and will never break my promise!
Although Qiao Mao is strong in today's form, if Brother Yuncheng is willing to send troops to help, Changyi City is nothing more than an empty city. It is estimated that Qiao Mao is just a native chicken and a tile dog, and it will not be comparable to Brother Yuncheng. Changyi City will be defeated every day...
......
Liu Dai once knew that his brother's army was vast and powerful. Now he prepared a small gift of 10,000 gold for his brother. He asked his brother to help him. Moreover, Liu Dai had invited Yuan Benchu to send troops to attack Qiao Mao at Mao in two days later. He also asked his brother Yuncheng to care about his old love...
......
Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai wrote it himself!"
Yang Rui finished reading the letter he received, and the content was indeed as Yang Rui had guessed before. This secret letter was written by Liu Dai to Bao Xin to request reinforcements. Judging from Liu Dai's tone for Bao Xin in the secret letter, no agreement should have been reached between Liu Dai and Bao Xin before, which made Yang Rui feel relieved.
