Chapter 412: Letter for Help
On the surface, he obstructed Yang Rui's migration of NPC civilians, but secretly asked Gao Shun to go to the Tiger Prison level, so Yang Rui concluded that Cao Cao must be making a show for others to see, otherwise there is no need to do one thing on the surface, but secretly it is another.
And after a little speculation, it is not difficult for Yang Rui to think that Cao Cao's approach should be used to deal with Yuan Shao and Liu Dai, and Cao Cao and these two people may have reached some secret agreements, perhaps it is because of this that Cao Cao was able to control the Yin area of Henan Province east of Tiger Prison Pass in his own hands.
Although the area east of Tiger Prison Pass also experienced the war against Dong, the basic production structure was not fundamentally damaged, and compared with the area west of Tiger Prison Pass, which had been evacuated by Dong Zhuo, the seven or eight counties occupied by Cao Cao were 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. But there are probably 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 provoke a big opponent; Secondly, Cao Cao was probably not willing to sit and watch Yuan Shao and Liu Dai dominate, so he did so out of a balanced mentality.
At present, although Cao Cao's table is not as eye-catching as Yuan Shao, the game plot will definitely reserve a lot of scenes for Cao Cao, so Cao Cao's "Xiaoxiong" template will play a role in a large number of Cheng dΓΉ at some point in the future, which also leads to Cao Cao's impossibility of sitting back and watching Yuan Shao's infinite growth!
No matter what the reason is, Cao Cao's release of water can be said to provide great convenience for Yang Rui, if he is determined to defend the tiger prison and make it difficult for Yang Rui, it is really a very tricky problem for Yang Rui.
And because of Cao Cao's inconsistency. Gao Shun had already sent people to Heyin to invite Zhang Ning, Zhang Liao and other Yang Rui's subordinates to come to support. It saved Yang Rui a lot of time. Maybe at this time, these troops are already on their way to the Tiger Prison.
Therefore, Yang Rui didn't have to personally transfer troops to Heyin, but for the sake of insurance, Yang Rui sent fast horses to pass on Zhang Ning, Zhang Liao and Du Yang's orders respectively, so that Zhang Ning and Zhang Liao also rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass as planned as planned, and Du Yang was responsible for the migration of all the remaining NPCs.
Yang Rui, who was liberated, did not wait in the Tiger Prison Pass, but only ordered Gao Shun to lead his troops to guard the Tiger Prison Pass, and Yang Rui himself once again drove the Dao Feng Flying Carpet to Puyang City to check Liu Dai's movements, and he was still a little worried about Qiao Mao's situation.
At this time, the rest of the princes had all passed through the Tiger Prison Pass and returned to their respective jurisdictions. Therefore, Gao Shun should not have other princes come to "make trouble" when he stays in the Tiger Prison Pass, which is also the reason why Yang Rui is relieved to leave the Tiger Prison Pass.
After more than three hours of hurrying, Yang Rui rushed to the surface of the Yellow River near Puyang City. Although the Daofeng Flying Carpet is almost not afraid of the ups and downs of the terrain, if you want to maintain the highest speed, you still need flat terrain, and the effect is best when used on the river.
The principle of this point Yang Rui feels a bit similar to the ground effect aircraft in reality, I don't know if it is set like this in the game, and Yang Rui doesn't want to delve too deeply into this, but the effect of using the Dao Wind Flying Carpet on the water surface is indeed better.
Aside from the experience of using props. After Yang Rui arrived near Puyang City, he made a detailed investigation of the current situation in the city. As Yang Rui expected, judging from the current situation of city defense. A large number of Liu Dai's subordinates are still stranded in Puyang City, and they should not have the intention of attacking Changyi City for the time being.
However, judging from the large number of ferries gathered outside Puyang City and on the banks of the Yellow River, Liu Dai must have been preparing to cross the river to attack Qiao Mao. Yang Rui also had an idea after seeing these gathered ferries, if he could have one or two copies of the "Thunder Fire Talisman" like the Yellow Turban Uprising, or even just the "Spark Talisman" and other rune paper was enough, there was a chance that Liu Dai and the gathered boats would be burned and the date of their crossing of the river would be delayed for some time!
It's a pity that Yang Rui already has no relevant rune paper on hand, and the operability of burning the ferry is basically gone. Rao is like this, Yang Rui still waited until the dead of night, and tried it with constant fire without giving up, but of course he was not able to succeed.
This can't help but make Yang Rui more concerned about the role of rune paper such as "Thunder Fire Talisman" and "Spark Talisman", if these yellow turban rune papers can be made by Zhang Ning!
Previously, Zhang Ning had also successfully learned and comprehended the Dan prescription of [Xuyang Dan] from the "Taiping Technique", and at the same time should have mastered some other Dan prescriptions, and under Yang Rui's instruction, Zhang Ning also successfully comprehended the method of making rune paper camp tents.
Of course, Yang Rui also instructed Zhang Ning to try to make rune paper such as "Thunder Fire Fu" and "Xinghuo Fu", but it is a pity that Zhang Ning replied that Yang Rui's high-grade rune paper is probably only possible for a character of the level of her father, Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Ning's own level is still far from this grade
However, it was said that Yang Rui's attempt to burn Liu Dai's ferry failed, but was discovered by Liu Dai's subordinates. 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 the Tiger Prison Pass, and they couldn't do anything else for the time being, Yang Rui estimated the time it would take for Zhang Ning and Zhang Liao to reach the Tiger Prison, so he stayed near Puyang City for the time being to continue to explore the movements of Liu Dai's troops, in order to obtain first-hand information and take timely countermeasures.
While exploring, Yang Rui was not idle, and he was always waiting for an opportunity to attack and kill Liu Dai's subordinates. Yang Rui and Liu Dai already have an "alliance camp-antagonism" relationship, so eliminating Liu Dai's subordinates can also transfer the [Dong Zhuo's Rebellion] plot merit value, point value, and princes' contribution value.
Although Yang Rui just randomly picked up the relatively sparse or lonely Liu Dai's subordinates, he still had some gains in the end. And while Yang Rui obtained the plot merit value, point value, and princes' contribution value, he also caused a lot of confusion to Liu Dai's subordinates. This is also the result that Yang Rui is willing to see, if he can delay Liu Dai's dispatch of troops because of this, it will be an unexpected gain.
Of course, the probability of this happening is very low, and the movement made by Yang Rui alone will at most be regarded by Liu Dai as someone deliberately making trouble, and it should not attract much attention. However, Yang Rui's squatting exploration was not without achievements, and Yang Rui also made some gains when the sky was only slightly bright.
At that time, after taking a fast boat from the bank of the Yellow River outside the east gate of Puyang City, he had been going up the Yellow River, which attracted Yang Rui's attention. The boats that go out in the early morning are often fishing boats, and this boat is obviously different from the fishing boat, so Yang Rui paid attention to it.
Yang Rui's original intention was to attack and kill some of Liu Dai's soldiers on the ship in order to earn plot merit points, points and contribution points of the princes, but in the end, he intercepted a letter from these soldiers and a storage bag containing 10,000 gold coins!
"Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin personally opened!"
When Yang Rui got the letter, he roughly guessed its origin for the first time, just said that the style of the letter knew that it was an important letter, the letter was sealed with red lacquer, and there was a seal seal that Yang Rui could not distinguish at the seal, and then saw the name of "Jibei Xiang Bao Xin", Yang Rui had not opened the letter and roughly thought of the possible content.
"Brother Yuncheng: Although the brother and the virtuous brother have only been separated for a few days, they are very worried! Today, I sent a messenger to come, what I did was the matter of Qiao Mao who was too guarded by Dong County, I don't know if Yun Cheng Xian Brother had heard of it, a few days ago, Qiao Mao returned to Dong County first, but he took my Yanzhou governance office - Changyi City for no reason! It's wanton!
Although Yuan Benchu was invincible and had already helped me capture Puyang City, Qiao Mao's administrative place, he still couldn't understand my hatred, and Changyi City was still in the hands of Qiao Mao's thieves who stole the city, how could the people endure Qiao Mao's expropriation and slavery? Therefore, my heart is very worried, and I hate that I cannot save the people from fire and water, and I cannot punish the initiators of the robbery of the city.
However, my army is still stable and Puyang City is still insufficient, and it is extremely extravagant to want to take back Changyi City, so I hope that Brother Yuncheng can send troops to help one or two, and fight Qiao Mao quickly, and then I will score the land under Qiao Mao's jurisdiction to Brother Yuncheng Xian, and I will never break my word!
Although Qiao Mao is strong in today's form, if Yuncheng Xiandi is willing to send troops to help, Changyi City is tantamount to an empty city, and it is expected that Qiao Mao is just a local chicken and a dog, and it will not be comparable to Yuncheng's virtuous brother, and Changyi City Keri can break his ears
Liu Dai tasted that the virtuous brother was a strong general, and now he prepared a thin gift of 10,000 gold for his brother, and asked the virtuous brother to help him, and Liu Dai had invited Yuan Benchu to jointly send troops to fight against Qiao Mao in the next two days, and also asked Yuncheng to take care of the old feelings
Yanzhou Thorn History Liu Dai handwritten! β
Yang Rui read the letter he received, and the content was exactly as Yang Rui had guessed before-this secret letter was a letter written by Liu Dai to Bao Xin asking for reinforcements. Judging from Liu Dai's tone to Bao Xin in the secret letter, there should have been no agreement between Liu Dai and Bao Xin before this, which couldn't help but make Yang Rui breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the secret letter also revealed some other information, such as the time when Liu Dai sent troops and the invitation to Yuan Shao to send troops, if both were true, Qiao Mao's situation was already very critical! (To be continued......)
