When Yang Rui arrived at the county seat of Gongxian County, he happened to encounter Liu Dai's soldiers and horses all the way to Yanzhou, and from the time point of view, Liu Dai's departure time was only two or three days later than Qiao Mao, and it should be the second prince to leave after Qiao Mao, and its purpose is worth scrutinizing.

In order to help Qiao Mao completely get rid of Liu Dai's entanglement, Yang Rui pretended to get together with Liu Dai for half a day, and then let him leave Gongxian County and go in the direction of Tiger Prison Pass. Since Liu Dai's relationship with Yang Rui is still maintained well on the surface, it is not easy to refuse.

Duyang County Commander of Heyin County is preparing for the relocation of NPC civilians, and the migration cannot be completed overnight, so Yang Rui is not in a hurry to rush back, so he will take the time to stop Liu Dai and "drink and talk" instead of him, so as to buy some more relaxed time for Qiao Mao.

After separating from Liu Dai, on Yang Rui's way back to Heyin County, he did not encounter any of the princes who evacuated all the way, which also highlighted Liu Dai's urgency, I believe that if it wasn't for Yang Rui's accompaniment, maybe Liu Dai would have been unable to wait to attack Qiao Mao.

The time limit for the migration of Heyin NPCs was originally only ten days, and when Yang Rui returned to Heyin County, Duyang County had already mobilized some NPCs and was ready to migrate, and Yang Rui immediately started to migrate.

The number of NPCs in the Yin area of Henan has been very small, and the living environment of Heyin NPCs has changed greatly, and after the mobilization of Duyang County, there are not a few NPC personnel who voluntarily migrate in Heyin County, and they are all out of their original will, so the migration is very different from the previous situation of Dong Zhuo's captivity of NPCs when he moved the capital.

Because of this, although the number of the first batch of migrating NPCs in Heyin County reached 500,000. But Yang Rui only sent Gao Shun alone to lead 10,000 fifth-order iron guards to escort him. At the same time, Yang Rui used the Dao Wind Flying Carpet to check the situation along the road and coordinate the subsequent migration of the NPC team.

Of course. Yang Rui also did not forget to check the tens of thousands of NPC officials' family members and fourth-order soldiers who were the first to be transported by water. These people are led by Chen Lin. With the escort of the ship and more than 1,500 sailors, there is no big problem in terms of safety, and Yang Rui went to investigate just in case.

However, when Yang Rui went to pursue the fleet from near Gongxian County, he made an unexpected discovery, and the princes from all walks of life, who had barely left when Yang Rui returned to Heyin County a few days ago, had already moved their camps and embarked on the return journey, as if they had been discussed in advance.

This aroused Yang Rui's great interest, and after returning to the Luoyang Imperial City and exploring, Yang Rui found that Luoyang was already empty, as he guessed. The reason why the princes took their own initiative to embark on their return journey was because Yuan Shao, the leader of the anti-Dong Alliance, had also left the Luoyang Imperial City.

Under suspicion, Yang Rui explained to Gao Shun, and then drove the Daofeng Flying Carpet along the Yellow River all the way to Yanjin in advance, and at the same time caught up with the migration fleet, he also arrived at the section of the Yellow River where Yuan Shao was likely to return to Jizhou in the north - the section of the Yellow River near Guandu and Yanjin, and from there he searched all the way to Hujiao Pass, he wanted to find out Yuan Shao's specific itinerary, so as to rush back to Qingzhou in time to deal with it.

On other players, they may think that Yang Rui's temporary abandonment of the plot of Dong Zhuo's rebellion is a bit too conservative, and if a large player organization such as Dragon Soul is in Yang Rui's position, it may be able to deal with both sides at the same time. But Yang Rui is only alone, and he does not have this strength at present. Priority should be given to straightening out Pingyuan County and the entire Qingzhou. At the same time, guarding against Yuan Shao was Yang Rui's decision after repeated considerations.

When Yang Rui found Yuan Shao, he found that Yuan Shao had already passed the Tiger Prison Pass! It would take no more than two days to set off from Luoyang Imperial City at most, and Yuan Shao's speed had exceeded Yang Rui's expectations. And Yuan Shao was able to reach the east of the Tiger Prison Pass so quickly, which can be said to be driven out non-stop, and even put most of the troops behind him, only bringing more than 10,000 cavalry.

Yuan Shao's hurried and only cavalry also surprised Yang Rui, although he didn't know what Yuan Shao's intention was to hurry, but he also had some suspicions, so he stayed far behind Yuan Shao's troops for most of the day.

After this tracking, Yang Rui really found that Yuan Shao did not go to Guandu to cross the Yellow River to the north, but went all the way to the original place of the princes' alliance - sour jujube, so after rushing to the vicinity of sour jujube for most of the day, Yang Rui had a large camp tent in his vision!

Although no banners were set up in this camp, Yang Rui didn't spend much effort to figure out the origin of this large camp, just as Yang Rui guessed for the first time, the camp here was Liu Dai's soldiers and horses who had withdrawn from the front!

At this point, the general situation of the matter is almost clear, and the purpose of Yuan Shao's hurried journey is to come to meet Liu Dai! As for the picture after their convergence, Yang Rui almost didn't have to think about it to guess that he should be heading for Qiao Mao's East County.

After crossing the Yellow River from the vicinity of Sujuju, it is not very far away from Puyang County, the seat of Dongjun County, and there is only one Liyang County in the middle, which is even much closer than the distance from Luoyang to Hujiaoguan, and it can be reached in about one or two days by a rapid march. Yang Rui speculated that Yuan Shao came here to assist Liu Dai in dealing with Qiao Mao!

Yuan and Liu have taken this move, it seems that Yang Rui's previous precautions are not untargeted, and Yang Rui has probably figured out the intentions of Yuan Shao and Liu Dai after following Yuan Shao for most of the day, but in terms of time, he only has time to inform Qiao Mao, and how to deal with it next is a problem.

At present, several powerful generals in Yang Rui's hands are still in Henan Yin and Dashan City, although Qingzhou also has a lot of troops, but it is too late to mobilize them, even if the distance from Dashan City to Puyang is two or three times more than that of sour dates, it is impossible to deal with Yuan Shao and Liu Dai.

Since Yuan Shao hurried all the way to join Liu Dai, it was very important to do his best to take Dongjun, so that the other princes would not have time to intervene in this matter, so there was no time for Yang Rui to mobilize troops.

No matter what, Qiao Mao had to know about it in time, so Yang Rui was thinking about how to deal with it, and at the same time, he also drove the Dao Feng Flying Carpet and flew towards Puyang County. Under such an urgent situation, the matter of relocating NPC people in Heyin County can only be temporarily delayed for a few days.

At this time, the role of the Dao Feng Flying Carpet was also reflected, and the journey of one or two days was not taken in three hours under Yang Rui's hurry!

"What's the matter with the Lieyang Prefecture Pastor coming in such a hurry?"

"Brother Yuanwei, listen to me carefully"

After Yang Rui found Qiao Mao in the Taishou Mansion of Puyang City, he informed Qiao Mao of the movements of Liu Dai and Yuan Shao in detail, and also told the truth that his troops could not help in time.

"How's that going to be?! That's all right."

After Qiao Mao Taishou heard Yang Rui's discovery, he became a little hurried.

"Brother Yuan Wei doesn't need to be too anxious, I have also carefully considered this matter on the way here, and it is not that there is no way to deal with it at present!" Yang Rui saw that Qiao Mao had lost his sense of proportion, and frowned slightly before speaking.

"What's the best plan for the Lieyang Prefecture Pastor?! Come quickly," Qiao Mao heard Yang Rui's words, and suddenly his eyes lit up and urged.

"Puyang County, the seat of Dongjun Governance, is also a big city, although Yuan Shao and Liu Dai are menacing, but with the defense of Puyang City, there should be no problem in temporarily defending for a few days.

At this time, Yuan Shao's two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, were not in the army at this time, and they only had 10,000 cavalry, which was not conducive to siege warfare; Although Liu Dai has a sound army, he has not heard of any famous generals, so it is not impossible for Brother Yuan Wei to stick to Puyang City for a few days.

If Puyang is held by Brother Yuan Wei for a few days, I will take advantage of this time to go to Qingzhou to transfer troops, and when my reinforcements arrive, the siege of Puyang will be easy to solve."

Although he had long thought that Yuan Shao and Liu Dai would make a move on Qiao Mao, Yang Rui still had some luck in his heart before, he deliberately got very close to Qiao Mao in order to prevent Yuan and Liu from making a move, and Yang Rui's decision to go back to Qingzhou also had the intention of protecting Qiao Mao, but he didn't expect these two to choose such a time to start, which really caught Yang Rui a little off guard.

On the way to Puyang, Yang Rui has been thinking about the countermeasures to this matter, and in the end he only thought of two temporary countermeasures.

"This" After listening to Yang Rui finish talking about the first article, Qiao Mao couldn't help but hesitate again.

If it can be like what Yang Rui said, Qiao Mao can hold Puyang County for five or six days, it is also possible for Yang Rui to go to Qingzhou to transfer troops. However, looking at Qiao Mao's attitude, he didn't seem to be very sure about defending the city.

"If Brother Yuan Wei thinks that this article is not very advisable, Lieyang has also thought of a countermeasure. What Yuan Shao and Liu Dai are trying is the boundary of Brother Yuan Wei's East County, since the other party has come to attack Puyang County, Brother Yuan Wei might as well deal with it like this."

Even Yang Rui himself was not very sure of the plan of sticking to the need for help mentioned in the first article, so Yang Rui immediately proposed another proposal for Qiao Mao. is different from the reaction when he heard Yang Rui's first construction, this time Qiao Mao was stunned after listening to Yang Rui's moves, which shows his surprise to Yang Rui!

"Hey! According to what Lieyang Prefecture Mu said, Yuan and Liu are so persecuted, I can only fight with my life! Although Qiao Mao was surprised, after thinking for a while, she actually responded to Yang Rui's second Jianyi!

So then Yang Rui and Qiao Mao began to deal with Yuan Shao and Liu Dai. And Yuan Shao and Liu Dai came fast enough, almost after noon on the second day, they approached the city of Puyang!

"Brother Benchu and Brother Gongshan, didn't they go back to their respective jurisdictions? Why didn't you come to Puyang City uninvited? Brother Yuan Wei is not in the city for something, and he asked me to guard the city for him for a day or two, and I am also a guest at this time, so it is not appropriate to entertain the two."

Yuan Shao and Liu Dai suddenly went to the south city of Puyang, and they wanted to catch Qiao Mao off guard, but they found that the city gates had already been closed, and Mu Lieyang of Qingzhou Prefecture also unexpectedly appeared on the Puyang city wall! (To be continued......)
