Chapter 426: VIPs
"Hit! Such a good opportunity, the other party is almost defenseless, of course you have to fight! Yang Rui said almost without thinking, and easily tied himself and Zhang Ning's ankles together.
In fact, Zhang Ning originally wanted to remind Yang Rui that Yuan Shaoke was just Chen Bing and did not take the initiative to attack, but just think about it, she may have some talent for the cultivation of Taoism, but she does not have much experience in the decision-making of marching and fighting.
"Whoosh"
"Crackle! Boom"
"Ahh What's wrong? ”
"Run!"
“”
Yang Rui and Zhang Ning were ready, and immediately launched a surprise attack on the Yuan Shao camp found on the border of West Pingchang County, the Dao Wind Flying Carpet flew over the sky above the camp of Yuan Shao's troops, and the meteor fire rain kept falling down the almost unprepared soldiers and camp tents below, and the fire suddenly broke out, enveloping a large area around it in flames, and the camp was in chaos!
Because the other party was almost defenseless, from the time Yang Rui and Zhang Ning launched a surprise attack, Yuan Shao's troops were caught off guard by the sudden situation, they had never encountered a similar attack, and even when the Xiaobanla camp was turned into a sea of fire, most of the people had not yet figured out the cause of the camp's fire, let alone launched an effective resistance.
It was precisely because of this that Yang Rui didn't have to worry about the safety of the two of them at all, but just drove the Daofeng Flying Carpet towards the place where the camp tents were most concentrated and the soldiers were most dense, so as to cause as many kills and injuries as possible to Yuan Shao's troops.
This lasted for about half an hour, and Yuan Shao's camp was almost completely destroyed. Although a large number of soldiers took advantage of the chaos to escape, scattered and escaped from the camp area. But the losses are by no means small.
Yang Rui estimated the contribution value based on the capture of Yuan Shao. The number of soldiers lost by Yuan Shao in this raid exceeded 20,000, which was calculated by Yang Rui according to the standard of 5th-order soldiers, and I believe that Yuan Shao's troops were definitely not all 5th-order soldiers, so the number of losses would be higher than Yang Rui's estimate.
After unexpectedly defeating Yuan Shao's troops stationed on the border of Pingchang County, Yang Rui and Zhang Ning did not pay attention to the soldiers of Yuan Shao's troops who fled in all directions, but drove the Dao Feng Flying Carpet directly to Pingyuan City, and it was already a great gain to be able to attack and kill more than 20,000 people on the other side at once!
Just as Yang Rui had predicted, Yang Rui found it after arriving in Plains City. The city was in order, and there were no traces of any battles at the city gates and city walls, and Yuan Shao really did not really send people to attack Pingyuan City.
"I've seen Lord Governor!"
"I've seen Lord Governor!"
“”
Cheng Yu, Chen Lin, and Wu Anguo were discussing something in front of a hanging map in the three cities of Plains City, and when the three of them saw the arrival of Yang Rui and Zhang Ning, they stepped forward to meet each other.
After several people sat down one after another, Yang Rui asked Cheng Yu to give a general introduction to the current shape of Pingyuan County, and just as Yang Rui had found out about the situation, Yuan Shao really only set up suspicious troops everywhere on the border, but he did not carry out any substantive attack on Pingyuan County.
Cheng Yu also analyzed Yuan Shao's attitude, and believed that Yuan Shao's primary target should be Jizhou, because of the news that Cheng Yu had obtained before. It was discovered that Yuan Shao's deployment of troops on the border of Pingyuan County was only part of his dispatch, and at the same time, Yuan Shao had already deployed a large number of troops on the west side of Bohai County. Obviously it was intentionally aimed at Jizhou Han Fu!
And the news that Cheng Yu obtained about Yuan Shao's soldier and horse dispatch was also verified by the two horse dealers in Jizhou, and Yang Rui also got acquainted with two horse dealers in Jizhou by chance, and signed a supply agreement with them, but he didn't expect that at this time, it also played a big role in news transmission, and they sent horses all the way over to naturally be very clear about the shape of Jizhou.
In fact, Cheng Yu didn't say it, there may be another important reason why Yuan Shao didn't use troops against Pingyuan County, that is, Yang Rui sent Cheng Yu to Pingyuan City in time!
After Cheng Yu arrived in the plain, while preparing the city defense of Pingyuan City, he also sent a small force of 1000 ~ 5000 people to each city in the north of Pingyuan County.
Since he has a plan for the plains, Yuan Shao must also have channels to know about Cheng Yu's actions in the plains, and Cheng Yu's deployment of a small number of soldiers in each county town will certainly not cause much trouble to Yuan Shao, but the more than 100,000 soldiers arranged in the plain city is a big trouble, and Yuan Shao must have some scruples about this.
In fact, after Cheng Yu arrived in Pingyuan County, in the name of Yang Rui, he blocked and martial law Pingyuan City with lightning speed, and dismissed all the county officials at all levels in Pingyuan County, and put them under house arrest in the county government.
As a result, Pingyuan City and the various county towns were temporarily entrusted by the soldiers, and the original county soldiers and county soldiers were also taken over by Cheng Yuqing due to the leaderlessness of the dragons, achieving the goal of controlling Pingyuan County as much as possible.
Although this practice may make the counties in the north of Pingyuan County almost undefended, and the affairs of each county are also a lot of waste, as long as Pingyuan City is not lost, Yuan Shao's actions in Pingyuan County will also be very limited, and a clenched fist is the most deterrent!
Moreover, Cheng Yu's action is also well-founded, Pingyuan County has always been uncooperative with Yang Rui's "tuntian system" and "resources for huàn" strategy, so that Yang Rui made up his mind early on to remove the Taishou of Pingyuan County and officials at all levels. And when Cheng Yu led the army to Pingyuan City for the first time and forcefully dismissed the relevant officials, he unexpectedly discovered the correspondence between Pingyuan Taishou and Yuan Shao!
When Cheng Yu showed these letters to Yang Rui, Yang Rui was also secretly frightened, although he had always been very concerned about Pingyuan County's non-cooperation, but he didn't expect that these county officials in Pingyuan would hook up with Yuan Shao, and the letter clearly expressed Pingyuan County's willingness to belong to Yuan Shao, it can be said that Yang Rui sent Cheng Yu to come is still very timely, and it is not the current situation a little later!
"The state pastor came at the right time, in recent days, Jizhou assassin Han Fu has also sent letters for help, stating that Yuan Shao Chen Bing border and sent people to persuade him, intending to plot the position of Jizhou assassin history, so please join Yuan Shao with the state pastor."
Cheng Yu saw that Yang Rui had already read the correspondence between Pingyuan County and Yuan Shao, and handed several other letters to Yang Rui's hand.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”
Yang Rui took the letters handed over by Cheng Yu and looked through them, and sure enough, as Cheng Yu said, these letters were all letters for help sent by Han Fu in recent days. The letter first analyzed Yuan Shao's possible plans against Jizhou and Qingzhou to Yang Rui, Chen said the stakes, and strongly asked Yang Rui to work with him to guard against Yuan Shao.
And looking at the information conveyed in a few letters, Han Fu's mood can be said to be more and more anxious every time, thinking that he should be under a lot of pressure from Yuan Shao!
The only thing is that Han Fu's attitude seems to be vacillating, sometimes the views put forward in the previous letter are immediately overturned by the latter letter, for example, on the issue of joint defense or sending troops to conscript, Han Fu changed his caliber several times, and even asked Yang Rui to come forward to make peace for both sides!
From this point of view, Han Fu's own attitude and tone have not been set in terms of how to target Yuan Shao, which is probably his most passive point, and it can also explain why Yuan Shao took away his territory in the historical facts, and finally he was scared to commit suicide! It seems that in terms of how to decide, Han Fu's table is even inferior to Qiao Mao!
"What does Mr. Cheng think should be done in Jizhou?"
After reading Han Fu's letter, Yang Rui put aside the matter of Pingyuan County for the time being, and first discussed the situation in Jizhou. To be honest, Yang Rui is still quite interested in the team of capable people in Han Fu's hands.
"I once wrote back to Jizhou Han Fu Assassin Shi, saying that Lord Mingzhou Mu has not yet returned, and he will wait for the return of the adult. However, from the perspective of his subordinates, Han Fu is afraid that he lacks a long-term strategy, and if the state pastor is unwilling to intervene in this matter, he will definitely be annexed by Yuan Shao. Cheng Yu said.
Cheng Yu's vision is still very accurate, and he almost concluded Han Fu's possible fate in a word, but he did not give Yang Rui a clear advice.
"Alas! In this way, it is a pity that Jizhou is rich, and of course, there are many capable ministers in the hands of Han Fu," Yang Rui sighed quite unwillingly.
"Although the state pastor does not have the strength to take Jizhou at present, it should help Han Fu and delay the process of his plan for Yuan Shao, and at the same time consume Yuan Shao's strength. After hearing Yang Rui's words, Cheng Yu thought for a while and then said to himself.
His meaning is already obvious, with Yang Rui's current strength, he can't plot Jizhou, but he can take action to delay the process of Yuan Shao's occupation of Jizhou, and at the same time use this as a reason to put forward conditions to Han Fu and ask for talents! Cheng Yu's construction also happens to coincide with Yang Rui's thoughts.
At this stage, compared with Yuan Shao, who is strong and strong, the soldiers and horses that Yang Rui can control are indeed much inferior, and it is basically impossible to solve the problem of Yuan Shao in the north overnight. Therefore, when Yuan Shao was eager to expand his territory, it was more practical to take advantage of the fire to rob and get more benefits.
"That's the best way to do it!"
Yang Rui immediately made a decision, and then turned his gaze to Chen Linyan and said, "I also want to ask Mr. Chen to repair a letter to Han Fu, saying that the land of Qingzhou is also being watched by Yuan Shao, and I am willing to deal with Yuan Shao together, and will take the initiative to lead the troops to attack Bohai County in the near future, as long as he sends troops to shine, and sends Tian Feng and Fu Zhi to help me" (to be continued......
