Although there are a lot of materials collected in Chenliu County, Yang Rui still feels a little sorry for its status as Cao Cao's old nest. A county town has only a surplus of more than 200,000 gold coins, and there are not many other things such as food and grass. I think Cao Cao has been circulating recently and it is also a lot of money. ●⌒,

As for whether Guo Jia would like to see Wei Zi, Yang Rui considered it and put it aside for the time being. When we met Yang Rui, we really didn't think about how to treat Wei Zi. Wei Zi supported Cao Cao, but she was also Wei Xiu'er's father.

In fact, Yang Rui could understand that although the Wei family chose to support and rely on Cao Cao, it was reasonable for a big merchant. Many merchants in troubled times chose one force as their support.

Moreover, after supporting Cao Cao, the Wei family has never interrupted their cooperation with Yang Rui. At the same time, it involves Wei Xiuer's identity, and Yang Rui always feels that it is not easy to blame too much.

However, since Wei Zi fell into Yang Rui's hands due to the fall of Chenliu County, Yang Rui naturally could not let the Wei family get involved with Cao Cao anymore.

"System Announcement: Chen Gong, a native of Dongwuyang in Dongjun, admired the ability of the prefect of Hanoi, Lu Bu, and surrendered to Bingzhou where Lu Bu was located. He will soon enter the tent of the prefect of Hanoi, Lu Bu."

"System announcement: Due to Yuan Shao's repeated provocations, Zhang Miao and Cao Cao had a siege. Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao, who was the chief clerk Xu Si, and Wang Kai defected to Bingzhou where Lu Bu is located. From then on, he will rely on the prefect of Lu Bu... …"

Shortly after Yang Rui left Chenliu County, two system announcements rang out one after another, and it was still about the NPC plot "Selecting trees and living in a tree". After the first wave of historical generals/historical celebrities all voted for their respective positions, the plot was actually far from over.

Due to the rise of Yang Rui's power and after the situation in Yanzhou had undergone major changes, Chen Gong still surrendered to Lu Bu. There seemed to be a large number of historical generals and historical scholars who participated in Lu Bu this time. Under the leadership of Zhang Miao, he almost formed a group to go to Lu Bu's tent.

In this way, Lu Bu's power will surely increase a lot, but after Yang Rui received these two system announcements, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Miao and others betrayed Cao Cao and surrendered to Lu Bu. And under Yuan Shao's instigation, the relationship between Lu Bu and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao would definitely be affected next, and they would even return to the historical trajectory of Lu Bu's sneak attack behind the scenes when Cao Cao attacked Xu.

Whether in historical facts or in the Romance, Chen Gong is also inconsistent with Cao Cao, which may largely become a factor that contributes to the opposition between Lu Bu and Cao Cao.

Of course, these are all personal speculations after Yang Rui received two system announcements. It is still unknown how the game progress will be promoted. However, Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others defected to Lu Bu, which was relatively favorable for Yang Rui. At least in a short period of time, it could have some constraints on Cao Cao.

Thinking of this, Yang Rui accelerated his speed to operate the Sky City towards Juancheng where Cheng Yu was. Originally, Yang Rui was a little hesitant whether to take the opportunity to break the remaining seven counties in Cao Cao east of Hulao Pass, completely cutting off Cao Cao's retreat.

However, there is not much time left to adjust the system, and there is still a threat from Yuan Shao from the north that has not been dealt with. After Yang Rui took down Chenliu County, he chose to go north, intending to take action to remove the threat from Jizhou and at the same time assist Gongsun Zan of Youzhou.

During the journey, Yang Rui naturally had to go to Yanzhou to check the situation of Cheng Yu and other troops in Yanzhou, and leave some new battle-free tokens to deal with emergencies.

"Meet the lord!"

"Meet Lord Zhou Mu..."

"Congratulations to Lord Zhou Mu on his triumphant return!"

“……”

After Yang Rui reached Juancheng, more than 400,000 defenders including Cheng Yu and Han Hao were stationed in the city. Han Hao was temporarily seconded from Pingyuan County. Only Du Yang was left in Pingyuan County. Ju Su Zheng's army was stationed. In fact, Cheng Yu calculated that Yuan Shao would not take the initiative to provoke war in the north.

At the same time, the navy trained by Taishi Ci also deployed defenses in the border areas of Qingzhou and Jizhou, almost completely controlling the Yellow River and Ji River surface. It is not surprising that Yuan Shao would do abnormal actions.

At this time, due to the major changes in the surrounding situation, during Yang Rui's participation in the Player's Exotic Competition, after discussions by Chengyu, Sun Gan and others, the defenders from various places also made considerable adjustments.

In addition to the deployment of heavy troops in Pingyuan City, Liu Ba and Wu'an Guo commanded nearly 400,000 troops stationed in Puyang City, the Dongjun Prefecture capital, Zhang Liao and Chen Linze commanded nearly 300,000 troops stationed in Changyi City, the Yanzhou Prefecture capital, and more than 400,000 troops were guarding and helping each other to deal with Cao Cao in the south.

It can be seen that Yang Rui’s previous reminder played a role. Cheng Yu and others were still very cautious in dealing with Cao Cao.

"Don't be too polite. Fortunately, when I am gone, there are soldiers who will guard the house and protect the land. After the thief Cao has a little peace, I will definitely reward you according to your merits and praise you for your merits......"

Yang Rui met Cheng Yu and others for the first time after returning from a foreign space. He naturally had to say something about praise. The so-called rewards on merits and other things, at this time, Yang Rui's territory was mostly extended to Yanzhou territory, and soon Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong got into the tent, so he really needed to be appointed and removed again.

Cheng Yu, who was very good at defending, was in charge of Yanzhou, and at the same time, the total number of troops in various parts of Yanzhou was as high as one million. Yang Rui was relieved that even if Cao Cao had acquired a lot of new troops, he would definitely not have an advantage in overall military strength.

Although Cao Cao's strength has increased so far today, it is short of fashion from the last battle of Fengqiu City. The number and strength of Cao Cao's troops are still far from that of Yang Rui.

Take the battle of Chenliu County as an example. Yang Rui's profits of siege equipment such as heavy siege are only one aspect, and the strength of Cao's soldiers guarding the city is indeed one or two levels shorter.

Even so, Yang Rui still left Gao Shun and nearly 50,000 soldiers of the trap camp in Juancheng to deal with the emergencies. At the same time, Yang Rui also handed over 5 level 1 battle-free tokens and 3 level 2 battle-free tokens to Cheng Yu, and told him to focus on defense in the near future and wait until he returns to make long-term plans.

With Cheng Yu's intelligence at the level of NPC, we can naturally understand the behavior of Yang Rui's such an alien who will leave briefly during system adjustments, and we also keep Yang Rui's advice in mind.

After leaving Juancheng, Yang Rui went north through Changyi City, and also met with Zhang Liao, Chen Lin and other defenders, encouraged him and left several battle-free tokens. Then he operated the Sky City and headed straight to Pingyuan County.

"System Announcement: Gao Pei, Huainan County, Yangzhou admired the virtuous and capable nature of the governor of Yizhou, and commanded 50,000 local brave men to join Liu Yan's Hanzhong, where Liu Yan was located, and would soon enter the tent of the governor of Yizhou, Liu Yan."
