Chapter 334: The Beginning of Chaos
After receiving the news from the carrier pigeon of the General's Mansion, Yang Rui knew that the guiding plot had reached a critical moment, and then he was no longer lazy, and sent carrier pigeons to He Jin and Zhang Rang respectively, and after making arrangements for Dashan City and other territories, he set off for Luoyang Imperial City.
In this more than a month of game time, Yang Rui has already cleaned up the Yellow Turban forces in the north of Xuzhou near Qingzhou, and all matters in Qingzhou have been sorted out relatively smoothly, during which Yang Rui even tried to collect military taxes again, although the number is not too much, but the counties and counties have paid it very consistently, with a total amount of more than 10,000 gold coins!
In fact, Yang Rui is indeed considering increasing the number of state soldiers, but the current upper limit of 10,000 state soldiers has not been canceled, and I believe that with the turmoil in the three regions next, this restriction will be slowly loosened, and as long as the economic strength is sufficient, the number of state soldiers and soldiers should not be much restricted.
Yang Rui also found out in the process of transferring soldiers to Luoyang that he felt that the number of soldiers in his hands had increased a lot, but when he actually used it, he was still a little stretched! This is still on the basis that Yang Rui has naturalized the 20,000-rank 5-order iron guard and 10,000-order sword and shield soldiers to Dashan City.
In addition, at present, Yang Rui's forces that can take the ground are, 511 junior and intermediate generals, 2,300 fifth-order cavalry soldiers, nearly 10,000 fourth-order cavalry soldiers, more than 6,500 first-order warriors, more than 1,300 (more than 200 new) fifth-order Yellow Turban wrestlers, nearly 2,000 fourth-order and fifth-order archers, and 1,800 (400 new) fourth-order water pawns.
Although there are more than 52,000 Rank 4 Yellow Turban soldiers, of which 10,000 are Yellow Turban captives who were newly surrendered by Zhang Ning using the Yellow Turban Transfer Order, their combat power is slightly inferior to that of ordinary Rank 4 soldiers. It's not very powerful.
Yang Ruixuan, who went to Luoyang, finally brought all the cavalry soldiers, the first warrior soldiers, the iron guard guards, the sword and shield soldiers, as well as 1,000 archers, 1,500 sailors and 50 ships. In addition, there are 10,000 4th-order Qingzhou state soldiers and 30,000 4th-order Yellow Turban soldiers as reserves. In total, there were more than 100,000 soldiers, and all the remaining soldiers remained in their respective provinces.
Of course, Yang Rui did not forget to bring Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, and Cheng Yu, as well as 300 junior and intermediate generals. The reason why Yang Rui brought so many soldiers to Luoyang was mainly because the second large-scale system plot was coming, and it would be better to bring more soldiers and horses to fight for interests.
It is precisely because the second large-scale system plot is coming, Yang Rui has redeemed all the merit points and points of the Yellow Turban Uprising plot in more than a month before, and Yang Rui still has nearly 5 million merit points and more than 4.1 million points left at that time.
Yang Rui thought about it for a while. In the end, the merit value was exchanged into 49 half-year age territory scrolls, and the point value was exchanged for more than 10,000 sets of 4th-order soldier armor, although there were many other kinds of things, but Yang Rui couldn't see it very much.
It is worth mentioning that in recent times, the number of regional story mission verifications sold by other players has increased significantly, and Yang Ruitong, the manager of Guò Eileen, acquired it, and actually scraped together enough task verification, and exchanged a Purple Gold level + 7 Nanyang Battle Medal and a Purple Gold level + 7 Guangzong Battle Medal respectively! And the money spent on the acquisition is only a few thousand gold coins!
Coupled with the previous Zijin level + 7 Yingchuan Battle Medals, Yang Rui collected all the Zijin level medals of the three major battles of the Yellow Turban Uprising plot, which can be described as a huge windfall. At the same time, Yang Rui also used the redundant task verification to exchange huàn to create a gold-level hanging war jewelry set. It's also a big gain.
Let's say that after Yang Rui ordered the soldiers and horses, he put all the soldiers and utensils except the horses in the ring. Ready to send this to the Luoyang Imperial City, more than 12,000 horses will be handed over to the post station for transportation, just designate a certain place to pick up. As a result, it was only then that I found out that the teleportation arrays in all parts of the division had been closed, which was a situation that could only occur in the event of a war!
Yang Rui was relieved when he thought about it, although Luoyang was not in a state of war now, but the situation was like fire and water, and it was normal to close the teleportation array, Yang Rui had to teleport to Chen Liucheng first, and the destination of the cavalry and horses in the post station was also changed to Chen Liucheng.
After arriving at Chenliu, Yang Rui did not stop there, it would take about ten days and eight days for the horses to be transported over, and Yang Rui directly used the Daofeng Flying Carpet to go straight to the boundary of Sili, he wanted to investigate the current situation in Luoyang Imperial City in advance, and find a suitable place to place a group of foot soldiers before turning back to transport the horses.
At the speed of the wind flying carpet, it only took Yang Rui half a day to rush to the Luoyang Imperial City, but after approaching the Imperial City, Yang Rui found that the entire Imperial City was already under martial law, and everyone who entered and exited Luoyang had to be strictly inspected and interrogated, looking like a great enemy.
For Yang Rui, neither the eunuch nor the relatives should have restricted Yang Rui from entering the city, but Yang Rui was not in a hurry to enter Luoyang City, he suddenly had the idea to inquire about Dong Zhuo and several other soldiers and horses, so Yang Rui continued to use the Dao Feng Flying Carpet to bypass the Luoyang Imperial City and go due west.
This time was half a day, until night fell, Yang Rui was about to arrive near Shouyang Mountain and wanted to return, when he saw a large area of fire flashing on the north bank of the Yellow River, and occasionally the sound of people and horses chirping.
Yang Rui knew that it was a military camp, and after taking advantage of the night to get closer and observe, he found that the scale of the camp was enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and the number of horses was also as high as twenty or thirty thousand, and it was roughly estimated that there were at least twenty or thirty thousand cavalry in this camp! As for the number of foot soldiers, it is difficult to find out at night.
Even if he didn't arrive at the barracks, Yang Rui had already roughly guessed that it was Dong Zhuo's troops, and at this time, the word "Dong" was hanging high on the banner at the camp gate under the bonfire mapping, which showed the identity of the camp guards!
Yang Rui simply set up a talisman paper camp tent in a large forest on the other side of the Yellow River, and settled down, preparing to wait for Tianming to explore the details of Dong Zhuo's troops.
"There are more than 60,000 soldiers, all of them are 5th order, the number of horses is about 30,000, I think there are at least 30,000 5th-order cavalry, and 30,000 foot soldiers!"
After the talisman tent was set up, Yang Rui released Gao Shun, Zhang Ning, and Cheng Yu from the ring, and at the same time, the soldiers in the ring were placed out in turn to breathe, and it didn't take long for Cheng Yu to find out the approximate strength of Dong Zhuo's troops.
Cheng Yu's detection stunts are very powerful, and there has never been a deviation in all previous battles, so when Cheng Yu reported the strength of Dong Zhuo's troops, Yang Rui was also surprised again.
The rest is not to mention for the time being, just 30,000 fifth-order cavalry is already an invincible existence at present, not to mention that Yang Rui has reason to suspect that these cavalry may even be special troops, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry is very well-known, and the signboard of the Flying Bear Army in the game is even more famous!
Because the other cavalry is in a state of separation, even if Cheng Yu's detection skills are extraordinary, it is temporarily impossible to see whether the other party is a special class, Yang Rui stayed in place for a night, and Yang Rui even wanted to sneak attack the other party at night, but unfortunately now Yang Rui and Dong Zhuo are still in the same camp of the Han family, and they can't fight at all.
"Yu can already confirm that the opponent's 30,000 cavalry are all fifth-order special troops, and they are very well-equipped, if they fight in a flat place, their strength is probably very strong!"
In the early morning of the second day, when the other party pulled out the camp and went on the road, Cheng Yu could finally find out the cavalry of Dong Zhuo's army. In fact, even if Cheng Yu didn't say it, Yang Rui had already clearly seen the pattern of the banner in Dong Zhuo's cavalry formation - a flying bear with ribs and wings, and he already knew that the identity of the other party was the famous flying bear army.
"Dong Zhuojun is only about two or three days away from Luoyang Imperial City, even if the other party is dragged down by foot soldiers, it can be reached within five or six days, and the cavalry of the Burning Sun will take more than 10 days to arrive in Luoyang, so it may not be able to come in handy!"
Previously, Yang Rui had talked to Cheng Yu and others about the possible disaster of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, and Cheng Yu also greatly agreed with Yang Rui's opinion, so he had this statement.
Yang Rui naturally calculated the cavalry itinerary, and it is indeed as Cheng Yu said, it is likely that he will not be able to reach Luoyang in time. But what if you arrive, not to mention whether Yang Rui's 100,000 soldiers are sure to win against Dong Zhuo's 60,000 soldiers, Yang Rui is almost the best this time, don't say that he is fighting Dong Zhuo to the end, even if there are some casualties, it is not a small loss!
Therefore, Yang Rui originally did not intend to fight to the death with Dong Zhuo or any party, and he brought 100,000 elites to Luoyang just to have enough chips in his hand and be able to fight for greater benefits.
Therefore, after seeing Dong Zhuo's 60,000 troops set off, Yang Rui also used the Dao Feng Flying Carpet to go to Luoyang, and at this time, Yang Rui was most concerned about Zhang Rang's promised soul class advanced internal strength heart method and stunt derivative skill book! Yang Rui had already decided to take advantage of the fact that Zhang Rang was waiting for the eunuchs to run out of oil and lamps, and then take out a Rising Sun Pill to exchange the two skill books first.
And in the process of Yang Rui's return to Luoyang, he happened to receive Zhang Rang's flying pigeon biography, the content of the letter was very simple - "Come to Luoyang to help", a total of six words, but it revealed incomparable urgency!
Yang Rui's original direction was Luoyang, and now after receiving Zhang Rang's flying pigeon biography, he did not delay, and went all the way to the direction of Luoyang Imperial City, and arrived after half a day.
"Lieyang doesn't know, Emperor Ling has been dead for a long time, only then did Jian Shuo plot He Jin to leak but lost his life, since Jian Shuo died and lost the new army in the West Garden, the order has not worked, during this time He Jin has been planning to eradicate us, if it weren't for the Empress Dowager He and some of the forbidden army, I'm afraid that the other party has already succeeded!
Even so, He Jin has no fear, and enters the city every day to coerce his sister Empress Dowager He, wanting the Empress Dowager to compromise in order to deal with us all, so we must take the opportunity to eradicate He Jin, otherwise we will be harmed."
With the identity of a eunuch and a double supporter of a relative, Yang Rui was still put into the city under the strict investigation of the Luoyang Imperial City, but after the meeting, he heard Zhang Rang's words, and Yang Rui knew that the Luoyang Imperial City had become a mess!
