"If you win, you will win, and Brother Yuanwei should not be too optimistic. Judging from the number of Liu Dai's siege troops, it is likely that it is just his vanguard troops. Liu Dai's main troops have not yet arrived in Changyi City, so Brother Yuanwei needs to be more careful!"

Yang Rui poured a cold water channel on Qiao Mao at the right time. Although a small victory made Qiao Mao and his members of the city guarding their morale soar, Yang Rui must explain the facts clearly to him to prevent Qiao Mao from feeling careless.

In fact, in Yang Rui's opinion, this small victory is not necessarily a good thing for Qiao Mao. Although the morale of Qiao Mao's troops has increased greatly and has consumed a lot of Liu Dai's troops, Liu Dai must have become vigilant after losing some of his troops, and he will definitely be much more cautious next.

Moreover, the empty city plan discussed by Yang Rui and Qiao Mao has been used. Even if a large number of enemies have been reduced, the target target is somewhat unimportant. If Liu Dai himself and his main troops have fallen into Qiao Mao's empty city plan, there is a great hope of deciding the situation in Changyi City in one battle. Even if he cannot fully accomplish his merits, he can wait for Yang Rui's reinforcements to arrive and slowly deal with him.

Now his vanguard's small defeat is enough to remind Liu Dai that it is basically impossible to ambush Liu Dai again with the same method. Therefore, the pros and cons of this battle for both sides cannot be summed up in one sentence.

"This... Qiao Mao thought of it too, but if it weren't for the general's reminder, Qiao Mao would have been a little too optimistic. I will then send an order to ask the soldiers to guard against each other and always respond to Liu Dai's attack..." After hearing Yang Rui's words, Qiao Mao frowned slightly. Then he said with a calm expression.

"Let's get through the news. I'm here to tell Brother Yuanwei. Now the 15,000 cavalry in Dashan City have reached halfway, and the generals of Lieyang rushed to Changyi City. Therefore, Lieyang can stay in Changyi City forever to assist Brother Yuanwei in defending the city."

"Oh! General Lieyang! Brother Lieyang! This is the best thing. I will pass the news to the guards in the city to once again encourage the morale of the soldiers in the army!"

"It should be a big news, but there is no need to talk about strictly guarding the situation for the time being. Since I stayed in Changyi City, I can naturally go to Liu Dai to investigate the situation. Most of Liu Dai's troops came to see me will definitely not escape my vision. Brother Yuan Wei's troops will win a small victory, so they will be able to temporarily raise their morale. If there is news about Liu Dai, it will be no longer too late to prepare..."

"Lieyang is high! People come here, it is said that the soldiers guarding the city in various departments will stay in Changyi City and defend the city together with everyone. Each soldier should use his own lives to strive to protect the city. He just needs to wait for the reinforcements of Lieyang's deputy leader to arrive. It is the time when we counterattack him, Liu Dai's son..."

After Yang Rui and Qiao Mao had a discussion for a while, Qiao Mao passed on the news according to Yang Rui's intention. Undoubtedly, Yang Rui was able to stay and guard Changyi City together, which was definitely good news for the soldiers in the city. Yang Rui's title of Deputy Alliance Leader and his performance since the plot of Dong Zhuo's rebellion were there, so Qiao Mao's troops were not convinced.

After Qiao Mao explained his place clearly, Yang Rui drove the road wind flying carpet and left Changyi County from the west gate, looking for the figure of Liu Dai's army in the west of Puyang City. Within two hours, Yang Rui found the whereabouts of Liu Dai's army who was preparing to cross the river on the north side of the Ji River.

Although the Ji River is not as wide as the Yellow River on the north, this era is also a big river in the game. If Yang Rui had troops in hand, it would be a great opportunity to block Liu Dai. Even if the previous hundred spear ships and 1,500 4th-level water soldiers were needed, it would be enough to cause heavy damage to Liu Dai.

However, it is a pity that Yang Rui's spear ship and water soldiers were both in Pingyuan County at this time, which was beyond reach! Therefore, Yang Rui hovered back and forth on the Ji River several times, and could only watch Liu Dai's army crossing the river safely but did nothing.

In fact, Yang Rui had an idea at the beginning and was about to persuade Qiao Mao to come to Jishui to fight the enemy. However, not long after Qiao Mao had just obtained Changyi City, the rear was not stable yet, and it was difficult to determine which place Liu Dai would cross the river from Jishui, so Yang Rui took the initiative to reject his idea.

Judging from the current speed at which Liu Dai began to cross the Ji River, it only takes a game day to reach Changyi County. If you consider the impact of the night on the advance and siege, Liu Dai can launch an attack on Changyi City in the morning of the next two days!

After obtaining the general information, Yang Rui returned to Changyi City and passed on Liu Dai's current movements to Qiao Mao in detail, and reminded Qiao Mao to make timely preparations for Liu Dai after noon the next day to prevent Liu Dai from sending troops to raid again.

Although he learned about Liu Dai's specific movements, Yang Rui was not careless. He still had some doubts about Liu Dai's secret letter mentioning that Yuan Shao's troops were going to help him attack the city. Before, when he was near the Jishui River, Yang Rui had carefully observed that there were no traces of Yuan Shao's troops in the west and north of Changyi City. Just in case Wan Wan saw Yang Rui together, he drove the road to the east of Changyi City and investigated in the south.

It can be said that Yang Rui was very attentive to the battle between Qiao Mao and Liu Dai in Changyi City. First of all, the result of the war will be related to Yang Rui's future external environment. At the same time, the war between the princes has not yet broken out on a large scale. Yang Rui can also draw practical experience from this battle.

Of course, Yang Rui explored the southeast side of Changyi City, and also wanted to understand the movements of Zhang Ning, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao. It will take about two days for Yang Rui's cavalry to arrive in Changyi City, and the journey of Zhang Ning and the other two is farther. If the three of them can move forward, the pressure faced by Changyi City will be reduced.

However, Yang Rui's investigation was not optimistic. It was obviously not easy for Yang Rui to find Zhang Ning and the other two on the huge map. Even though he had a wind flying carpet and Yang Rui had specially rushed to Hulao Pass, he still could not find Zhang Ning and the other two. He could only hope that they could arrive in Changyi City soon.

However, Yang Rui made another discovery. When he left Changyi City for the first time and went southeast, he found a piece of fresh soil near a forest more than ten miles outside the south wall of Changyi City. Due to the distance at that time, many scenes of ploughing the land for cultivation in the game occurred. Yang Rui only regarded it as the normal farming of NPC civilians.

However, when Yang Rui finished his investigation and returned to Changyi City, he happened to be much closer to the woods. He accidentally found that the new soil near him was a bit unusual! The terrain near Changyi City was generally flat, and the land used for cultivation was only turned shallowly and then sowed. The new soil was piled into a large area of ​​continuous mounds. It was difficult to see clearly when the distance was far away. Yang Rui noticed the abnormality and paid special attention to it and found the problem.

After Yang Rui drove the road wind flying carpet, the true face of this mound was exposed. The continuous pieces of sand were actually transported from the woods. When Yang Rui entered the woods, he found that it turned out that the big trees in the forest had been flooded with sand and mostly pulled the trunk!

This is a huge project! At this time, Yang Rui had certainly already noticed the abnormality. These man-made contiguous mounds may have special functions, but he just didn't know who was doing it and why the purpose was.

At first, Yang Rui thought that someone had specially transported the sand to the woods to hide, but Yang Rui soon discovered the truth of the matter.

When entering the woods from the side, Yang Rui found that many people were busy using wooden wheelbarrows to transport sand and soil from the woods to the edges! It turned out that the mounds around the woods and at the edges were formed by these people transporting sand and soil.

It would be fine if they were just busy transporting sand and soil. The most important thing was the identity of these people. The camp color they showed was exactly the same as that of Liu Dai and Yuan Shao! Yang Rui immediately became alert. If these people in front of him were either Liu Dai's subordinates or Yuan Shao's subordinates, so far, the relationship between these two people and Yang Rui was "alliance camp-anti-anti-anti-anti-that"!

Although the other party has many people transporting sand and soil, it has almost no movement and has almost no conversation with each other. Therefore, it is difficult for Yang Rui to obtain some useful information!

It was the moment of Shen Shi in the afternoon. If Yang Rui approached the investigation, it would be very likely that the other party would notice it. So Yang Rui thought about it and chose to leave the forest temporarily, and quickly moved away from the forest quickly and returned to Changyi City temporarily. For an afternoon, Yang Rui just quietly used his internal energy to practice the internal energy and mental method.

However, Yang Rui did not ignore his previous discovery. Almost as soon as the night fell, Yang Rui couldn't wait to go to the woods again.

With the cover of night, Yang Rui was much more convenient to move. At this time, the people transporting sand and soil in the woods had long disappeared, but the road he had crushed with the soil was still there. Yang Rui carefully touched it all the way.

The afternoon discovery made Yang Rui some guesses, but when Yang Rui finally found a hole along the way, he was still a little unbelievable. These soldiers from the opposing camp were actually digging holes? To be precise, they were digging tunnels! When Yang Rui killed dozens of soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave in one or two moves and tiptoed into the entrance of the cave, he found that there was a different cave. A tunnel five or six meters wide in the entrance of the cave was extending straight forward!
