Yuan Shao was really angry, he had always held back his strength to deal with Yang Rui, but in comparison, it was much easier to capture Jizhou than Qingzhou, and whether it was in terms of population or wealth, Jizhou was much better than Qingzhou.

In Yuan Shao's opinion, as long as Jizhou is taken, the remote place of Qingzhou will naturally not be able to compete with it, and it will not be how to deal with Yang Rui when the time comes. Not only that, but obtaining the land of Jizhou will also become the foundation for its hegemony in the world, so Yuan Shao can't wait to plan Jizhou.

As for the land of Pingyuan County, it is just an addition to Yuan Shao, after all, the Pingyuan is located north of Jishui and the Yellow River, and there is a geographical gap between it and the rest of Qingzhou's counties, but it is the same as Jizhou, and it is also regarded by Yuan Shao as a bag. Moreover, Yuan Shao thought that most of Yang Rui's military strength was limited to Yin in Henan, and his Qingzhou troops were simply not enough to confront him!

However, Yuan Shao did not expect that Yang Rui not only interfered in the actions of his ally Liu Dai in Yanzhou, but also had the courage to harass his strategy in Jizhou, causing him a lot of losses, especially Yang Rui's reply with a few words, which was simply a kind of contempt for Yuan Shao, and completely angered Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao decided to teach Yang Rui a lesson, first took Yang Rui's Pingyuan County, and then said, if Yang Rui was still unrepentant, he would unceremoniously take the entire Qingzhou into his pocket, although in Yuan Shao's view, Qingzhou is not an ideal territory, and there is a big gap compared to Jizhou

First of all, Yuan Shao used Yan Liang and Wen Chou, two generals, who not only had first-class martial arts, but also had 20,000 cavalry under each of them. These cavalry are all Tier 6 exclusive special troops-Hebei Iron Cavalry. It is a high-level special class that is very rare so far. Even compared to the level of the Flying Bear Soldiers under Dong Zhuo's hands, it can be seen that Yuan Shao's determination to fight Yang Rui.

Yang Rui had only seen Dong Zhuo's fifth-order special cavalry, the Flying Bear Soldiers, which numbered about tens of thousands, but he didn't know that Dong Zhuo still had 3,000 Sixth-Order Flying Bear Soldiers. Rao is like this, the number of Dong Zhuo's 6th-order special troops is still much inferior to Yuan Shaolai, almost less than one-tenth of Yuan Shao's Hebei Iron Cavalry!

During the period when the heroes were discussing Dong, Dong Zhuo was not willing to let these Hebei iron horsemen appear, but hid them together with Yan Liang and Wen Chou, preparing to deal with Han Fu in Jizhou. If you choose the opportunity, you must use these forces to pocket Jizhou. It's just that because Han Fu also left some backhands in Jizhou, so far Yuan Shao has not really put Yan Liang, Wen Chou and these Hebei iron horses into use.

Now Yuan Shao is angry and has taken out Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and 40,000 Hebei iron horsemen, and this is only the vanguard force he has invested. After Yan Liang and Wen Chou set off first, Yuan Shao personally rectified 100,000 elite soldiers, and then set off to conquer Qingzhou, including 20,000 Yuan Shao's own exclusive 5th-order special troops-Golden Armor Soldiers!

Yuan Shao's troops to Pingyuan County this time can be described as menacing, but whether it is Yan Liang, Wen Chou's cavalry or Yuan Shao's own foot soldiers have been stationed in Nanpi County, the seat of Bohai County, it will take at least three or four days to reach Pingyuan County, and Yang Rui is not clear about the situation of Yuan Shao's troops at this time.

However, it was said that just before and after Yuan Shao sent his troops, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao led a group of cavalry to Pingyuan City. At the same time, the reply letter from Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, was also delivered to Pingyuan City, when Yang Rui investigated and returned to Pingyuan City in the afternoon of this day. Cheng Yu and the others were also about to send someone to discuss with Yang Rui.

The content of Han Fu's reply deliberately bypassed Yang Rui's previous request, and he didn't say a word about Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, but instead proposed another cooperation condition to Yang Rui - marriage!

It turned out that Han Fu actually had a daughter named Han Dai, who was at the age of marriage at this time, and just happened to be in the boudoir, and he didn't know which of Han Fu's strategists planned the marriage plan for him, anyway, he praised Han Dai as a flower, and he worked very hard to want Yang Rui to accept this marriage, and stayed directly to wait for Yang Rui's reply.

"Is the Governor interested in accepting this marriage?" After Yang Rui placed the messenger delivering the letter in the inner city of the three mansions of Plains City, Cheng Yu asked first.

Yang Rui was stunned by Cheng Yu's question, since he entered the game, it can be said that Yang Rui has been busy, not to mention talking about marriage with NPCs in the game, even if he doesn't spend much time with his sister and these subordinates, let alone thinking about which NPC to marry.

And from another aspect, Han Fu, the Jizhou assassin history, should not last long, and there is not much practical benefit to be gained from marrying him, just like the current situation, in the next game process, it is likely that Han Fu will ask for more places for Yang Rui, and Han Fu can provide Yang Rui with almost no support.

Although it is only in the game, there will be many restrictions after marriage, if Han Fu is facing a predicament and Yang Rui does not help, it is likely to affect Yang Rui's image as a state pastor among NPCs, so Yang Rui tends to reject the other party.

If Cheng Yu can ask this question, there may be deeper considerations, so Yang Rui said his thoughts first.

"According to my own opinion, it is not advisable to marry Jizhou, not to mention that I have not considered marrying in the near future, just the prospect of Jizhou Han Fu is worrying, if I choose to marry him, it is likely that it will not help my Qingzhou."

After expressing his thoughts, Yang Rui noticed that Cheng Yu, Chen Lin and several others nodded slightly in agreement, only Zhang Ning and Gao Shun did not say anything.

"Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, what do you think?" Yang Rui then asked.

Suddenly asked by Yang Rui, Zhang Ning was at a loss for a while, she had always been very indifferent, and her pretty face was unconsciously covered with blush at this time. It was only at this time that Yang Rui realized that the matter of marriage was also a matter of men and women, and it seemed a little awkward to ask Zhang Ning's opinion.

"Gao Shun thinks that what the lord said is reasonable, and the matter of marriage may not be helpful in my Qingzhou, and I also ask the lord to decide." In the end, Gao Shun spoke, which was regarded as a little relief for Zhang Ning.

"What the state pastor said is indeed reasonable, Cheng Yu thinks that the matter of Jizhou is indeed considered by the adults, and in the end, Han Fu may not be able to escape the situation of being annexed by Yuan Shao.

It's just that this matter can be used, and there is no need to refuse or accept it in a hurry, you can convey it to Han Fu euphemistically, marriage is not impossible, but you must first solve the current predicament of both parties before talking, and then use this as an excuse to borrow people from them, maybe things will be simpler. ”

Cheng Yu did have something to say, and when several people expressed their attitudes, and Yang Rui's inquiring eyes finally looked over, Cheng Yu spoke.

"Mr. Cheng means to borrow?"

"That's right, since we think that Han Fu can't sit firmly in Jizhou, if we can try to win over some of his subordinates, wouldn't we have to return it in the end? However, the difficulty lies in how to obtain it, and although it is still very difficult to borrow, it is easier to accept than to ask for it directly. ”

Cheng Yu's statement also reminded Yang Rui that in addition to borrowing one way, Yang Rui immediately had another idea in his mind, but he didn't know if it worked, and he would practice it when the time was ripe

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Rui found Han Fu's envoy and vaguely expressed to him that he was willing to consider marriage, but due to the current tense war and the lack of strategists and generals in his hands, he hoped to borrow some famous men and famous generals from Han Fu to come over to help.

Of course, Yang Rui's eloquence was limited after all, and at the same time, Yang Rui still asked Chen Lin to write a letter for Han Fu to take back. Perhaps because the last secret letter failed to convince Han Fu, this time the letter drafted by Chen Lin was drafted and changed, changed and drafted, and it was tossed until the middle of the night before the letter was finally finalized, and it was handed over to Yang Rui overnight, and the persuasiveness of the letter was naturally higher.

After sending Han Fu's messenger away, Yang Rui, together with the four generals Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo, led all 15,000 cavalry soldiers to the northern border of Pingyuan County, preparing to highlight West Pingchang, Banxian, Leling, and Qixian to further harass the neighboring counties of Yuan Shao and Bohai County.

Since he had this plan, Yang Rui and Zhang Ning once again went deep into Bohai County to investigate the situation, and this investigation was not tight, after Yang Rui captured a herald, from the letter of instruction he carried, he accidentally learned the news that Yuan Shao's army came to attack Pingyuan County, and learned that the vanguard was Yan Liang, Wen Chou, the second general and 40,000 cavalry, and there were 10 tens of thousands of follow-ups!

This situation was a little unexpected for Yang Rui, but he didn't expect Yang Rui's words to really provoke Yuan Shao! After some consideration, soon after receiving the news, Yang Rui turned back to the counties of Xipingchang, Banxian, Leling, and Qixian on the northern border of the plain, and quickly pulled out the 20,000 guards from each city who had just been transferred out of the city again, and ordered these soldiers to return to Pingyuan City again.

Judging from Yuan Shaoxing's moves, it is impossible for Yang Rui to defend every county, after all, the number of soldiers and generals in his hands is limited, even if Cheng Yu is good at defending the city, the force is too scattered to play a role, and Yang Rui had no choice but to reconcentrate the soldiers in Pingyuan City.

Fortunately, by chance, Yang Rui learned the news not too late, and it would take two or three days for Yan Liang and Wen Chou's vanguard cavalry to reach the border of the plains, which was enough for Yang Rui's soldiers to return to the plain city.

As for the 15,000 cavalry that was commanded by Fang Cai, Yang Rui did not let him return to Pingyuan City again, but only sent Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo back to assist in defending the city, while Yang Rui and Zhang Ning continued to command the cavalry to gather in Qixian County, preparing to penetrate along Han Fu's sphere of influence to the rear of Bohai County before and after the arrival of Yuan Shao's army, and attack Yuan Shao!

With Cheng Yu, Chen Lin, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wu Anguo and others involved in the defense, even if Yuan Shao has two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Pingyuan City should not be lost; And although Yang Rui said that he wanted to attack Yuan Shao's rear, he also had Han Fu's Jizhou that could be evacuated at any time, so Yang Rui decided to let go and fight with Yuan Shao once.
