The capital of the Jizhou Governor's headquarters is located in Yecheng, but Yecheng is located in the southwest of Jizhou, close to Silizhou and Yuzhou. It is usually beneficial for the governor to go back and forth between Luoyang and Jizhou. However, at this time, Yuan Shao was planning Han Fu's territory. In order to prevent Yuan Shao, Han Fu led several more trusted subordinates and more than 100,000 troops to station at the capital of Hejian County - Lecheng.+

Due to the game progress, it was not long before Liu Ni submitted a statement to change the governor to the provincial governor. Although the right to the governor increased significantly with the decline of the Han Dynasty, it was much more difficult to obtain his rights than that of the provincial governor. This was the case with the situation of the governor Han Fu.

Relatively speaking, although Jizhou is relatively wealthy and the strength of each county is not weak, Han Fu was unable to fully integrate these forces at this time to reach the level of using an arm to use his fingers. This is also the main reason why Han Fu did not have enough confidence to deal with Yuan Shao.

However, Yang Rui and Han Fu had already had several letter exchanges, so Yang Rui naturally knew about the situation where Han Fu commanded the troops to Lecheng County, Hejian County, so he made the decision to attack Yuan Shao. If he encountered resistance during the attack on Bohai County, Yang Rui could withdraw through Hejian County by then.

Of course, it would be best if he had the opportunity to convince Han Fu to act together with him, but Yang Rui also knew that the chance of this situation was not high. As for Pingyuan County to face the attack of Yuan Shao's army, Yang Rui had already been mentally prepared to temporarily lose some cities, and his bottom line was to keep Pingyuan City.

Yang Rui was very relieved to have Cheng Yu and others stationed in Pingyuan City. He believed that once Yang Rui's harassment appeared in Bohai County, coupled with Yuan Shao's long-term attack on Pingyuan City, his army would no longer continue to advance towards the southern area of ​​Pingyuan County. Otherwise, Yuan Shao would have really ignored the safety of his nest.

In order to prevent all the people from meeting each other, Yang Rui still placed his spear boats and water soldiers on the Ji River to prevent Yuan Shao from threatening the Jinan Kingdom and other counties in Qingzhou south of the Ji River. Compared with the already vast water surface of the Yellow River, this section of the Ji River is even wider than the Yellow River, which is more conducive to the fleet blocking the possible crossing of the river by Yuan Shao.

"Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wu'anguo, Chen Lin, and the safety of Pingyuan City will be left to you and others. At the same time, there is no need to care about the temporary gains and losses of other county towns in Pingyuan County. As long as Pingyuan City is there, Yuan Shao will not be able to sit steadily!"

Taking advantage of the time when Yuan Shao's army had not yet reached the plain border, Yang Rui ordered Zhang Ning to temporarily lead the cavalry, and he drove the Tao Fengfei Carpet back to Pingyuan City, and explained it to Cheng Yu and others again.

"No!" Cheng Yu and others responded.

In fact, even if Yang Rui does not participate, it should be no problem for Cheng Yu to deal with the situation at this time. However, the relationship between Cheng Yu and Yang Rui has reached the last level at this time. In fact, since the end of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Cheng Yu and Yang Rui have already followed each other, and dealing with Yuan Shao's attack is Cheng Yu who completely surrendered to Yang Rui's potential submission mission!

It is precisely for this reason that since Yang Rui arrived in Pingyuan County, Cheng Yu has hardly helped Yang Rui plan a strategy. At most, he just reminded Yang Rui from the side, and did not provide any formed strategy for Yang Rui.

Of course, Yang Rui was not clear about the potential conquering mission. Just like Cheng Yu's potential follow-up mission at the beginning, Yang Rui was also not clear about it. He didn't even know that Cheng Yu had a follow-up relationship with him at this time, but he just felt that Cheng Yu would not leave easily.

After all the rear was settled, Yang Rui returned to the county town of Gexian in the northern part of Pingyuan County, and merged with Zhang Ning and led more than 15,000 cavalry to the county town of Xiuxian in Bohai County. After Yang Rui's investigation, Yan Liang and Wen Chou's cavalry in Yuan Shao's vanguard's army were about to enter Pingyuan County.

It is undeniable that Yan Liang and Wen Chou have extraordinary strength. Even when Yang Rui appeared to drive the Tao Fengfei Carpet, he had already discovered his figure. Yang Rui noticed that a leading general had surrendered to himself on the Tao Fengfei Carpet several times, but he didn't know whether that person was Yan Liang or Wen Chou.

When Yang Rui returned to Pingyuan City, he also asked Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and Wu Anguo. If he appeared in front of them by himself, if he was careful, he could find the target in time. However, if the distance was too far or he did not focus on observing, there was a possibility of missing it.

Judging from what Gao Shun and others said, Yang Rui also generally had a certain understanding of the strength of Yan Liang and Wen Chou. When he was discovered, the distance should be more than 500 meters, which was not close. In this way, Yan Liang and Wen Chou should be higher than Shun and others!

Therefore, before Yang Rui left, he also specifically advised Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and Wu Anguo to not fight against Yan Liang and Wen Chou alone unless they had no choice. If they really had to do it, they should ensure their own safety! If the territory is lost, they can be snatched back. If several generals make mistakes, it will be irreversible. At present, Yang Rui only knows that the soldiers can be resurrected, but he has never obtained any news about the resurrection of the general...

"I commanded 3,000 cavalry soldiers from the north gate to clamor to attract the attention of the other party. Then, I chose the opportunity to release the Tianling Fire Rain skill at the south gate. After the city gate was lost, the remaining cavalry rushed into the city and took the city!"

Before arriving at the county town of Gexian, Yang Rui used the wind flying carpet to investigate the situation around the city in advance. The level of alertness in the city was not very high. Based on the previous investigation by Cheng Yu and others, the county town of Gexian had only more than 20,000 soldiers stationed. So after Yang Rui returned, he divided the work with Zhang Ning, preparing to seize the county town of Gexian in one fell swoop with the plan of beating east and attacking west.

Although cavalry is not suitable for siege, as long as they have the powerful skill of Zhang Ning Tianling Fire Rain, the problem is not very big. Even when they reach the opponent's city, the casting distance of Tianling Fire Rain will generally be much farther than the range of a bow and arrow. As long as Tianling Zhang Ning casts the Tianling Fire Rain skill and lasts for a period of time, no matter how strong the city gate is, it will collapse!

Unless it is an imperial city like Luoyang City, even ordinary bows and arrows can cover the casting distance of Tianling Fire Rain with the help of tall city walls. In this way, the archers on the city wall can balance the display of Zhang Ning's Tianling Fire Rain skills. Generally, small counties like Ge County are obviously not good, which is also the main reason why Yang Rui brought Zhang Ning with him.

The county town of Gexian belongs to the most prominent corner in the southwest of Bohai County, almost completely sandwiched between Pingyuan County and Hejian County, so it was in a state of martial law from the beginning. However, the soldiers of Yuan Shao who had been guarding the city for a long time inevitably felt a little relaxed, and these soldiers did not even expect to be attacked actively.

"Kill!"

"Those who offer the city will avoid death!"

“…”

After Yang Rui led his men to the north gate of Ge County, there was a clamor, but he did not conduct a substantial siege. They all stood at a safe distance from the city wall. However, this sudden situation still attracted the attention of the guards in Ge County.

"If there is any situation in the North Gate, hurry up and go to help!"

"All gather, head to the north gate!"

"Go to the North Gate to see the situation..."

“…”

Perhaps because he had never been attacked or harassed, Yang Rui's clamor outside the northern city gate of Ge County achieved good results. Not only were the reserve teams in the city attracted quickly, but the soldiers on the other gates' wall sections were also attracted to many near the north gate.

"Swoosh...swoosh..."

"Crack! Boom..."

"ah!"

"Run! Ah!"

“…”

At this time, Zhang Ning commanded more than 12,000 cavalry soldiers and arrived outside the southern city gate of Ge County. After standing in the protective formation, Zhang Ning released the Tianling Fire Rain skill at the South City Gate Tower without saying a word. Soon, there was a scattered spree on the southern city gate and the city walls that were affected on both sides. The city gate lowered the corridor, and the soldiers guarding the gate on the ramp were simmered directly by the sudden fire!

"No harm to innocent people, no damage to houses or property. Those who violate the order shall be dealt with by military law! Kill!"

"kill!"

"Run!"

“…”

Zhang Ning's Tianling Fire Rain skill lasted for less than a quarter of an hour and stopped because the South City Gate had already fallen in the fire. After the flames in the corridor behind the city gate gradually disappeared, Zhang Ning rushed into the city of Ge County.

Since there were no infantry troops to attack the city together, Zhang Ning led more than 10,000 cavalry soldiers to attack the city of Ge County one after another. After not controlling the city wall or attacking the inner city of the three prefectures, he attacked and killed Yuan Shao's soldiers from all over the city. Zhang Ning himself led a portion of the cavalry to directly kill to the north gate and placed Yang Rui and 3,000 other cavalry into the city.

Although Yuan Shao's guards in the city exceeded 20,000, the average rank was only about 4th level. Suddenly, without the commander of the general, it was difficult to resist the cavalry commanded by Yang Rui and Zhang Ning. After a round of Yang Rui's cavalry rushing back and forth, the guards in the city were already dead and fleeing, and there were very few left!

Seeing that the situation was over, the magistrate of Ge County soon raised the white flag and took the initiative to sacrifice the inner city of the three prefectures. At this point, Ge County was successfully captured. Yang Rui and Zhang Ning led the crowd to clean up the battlefield. After rough statistics, Ge County killed more than 10,000 Yuan Shao's troops in the battle. Yang Rui lost only more than 500 people, and he was soon resurrected by Yang Rui using the plot points.

Of course, Yang Rui also found more than 300 million gold coins, more than 50,000 units of grain, and a large number of various equipment and other items from the inner city of the three prefectures of Ge County. However, these items are a bit unworthy compared to the annihilation of Yuan Shao's soldiers. After all, the main purpose of Yang Rui's trip was to eliminate Yuan Shao's vitality and cause chaos in Yuan Shao's rear!
