Subsequently, Li Ru left the fleet of Baiyun City, to be honest, he still had a lot of hope when he came, because he thought that what Yang Tian really cared about was the population, as for some other treasures and property, although he also wanted to get it, as long as he fought for it himself, Yang Tian was very likely to give up this part of the benefits.

However, the result was somewhat unexpected, Yang Tian was not only unwilling to give up asking for money, but also very resolutely refused his offer. This cast some shadows on Li Ru's heart, and he didn't know if Dong Zhuo would agree to Yang Tian's plan.

……

The reason why Yang Tian wanted to ask Dong Zhuo for the 30 million taels of gold was not because he really needed this part of the money, but because he was disgusted with Dong Zhuo's house.

As Li Ru thought before, Baiyun City's wealth was enough to be proud of the world, and although 30 million taels of gold was not a small amount for Baiyun City, as long as he tightened his belt slightly, he could almost make it up in a year. Don't underestimate Baiyun City's ability to make money, its monthly income is enough to make any player force blush. It's just that while Baiyun City has a very high income, the expenditure is also very high, and the biggest expenditure is the infrastructure construction in the territory, especially the road construction. No one has yet arrived in Yizhou, and if anyone goes up, they will definitely be dumbfounded by the traffic in Yizhou.

Yang Tian was very aware of the advantages he had in the face of Dong Zhuo, and with the assistance of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, he naturally knew how to use these advantages and turn them into his own interests.

Since Dong Zhuo took the initiative to negotiate with him now, he was naturally unwilling to give up such a good opportunity, and Yang Tian scoffed at Li Ru's proposal to only give him some population. Now there are still four or five billion people in Dong Zhuo's team, which is definitely an astronomical number, even if Dong Zhuo does not encounter any enemies along the way. He himself does not harass from the water, and the population he can bring to Chang'an will not exceed 200 million. In other words, more than half of the population will die along the way or leave the army and become homeless.

In other words, Dong Zhuo's idea was to take out this part of the benefits he was about to give up in exchange for Yang Tian's withdrawal. Yang Tian is not a stupid person, how could he take such a big advantage? Anyway, now that the initiative is in his hands, he naturally has to have the final say.

Of course, when these conditions were proposed, Yang Tian also had no way of knowing whether Dong Zhuo would agree. However, Yang Tian didn't care much about this.

"Fengxiao, how far is there ahead that is suitable for our attack on Dong Zhuo's troops?" Yang Tian suddenly asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia knew this well, and he knew Yang Tian's intentions very well, so he immediately said: "Lord Qiqi, there are almost three hundred kilometers to go. With the marching speed of Dong Zhuo's team, it should be felt almost tomorrow evening. If the lord wants to knock Dong Zhuo, then the place is really good. However, his subordinates still have some worries, if they make a move against Dong Zhuo at this time, it will inevitably slow down his marching speed, and I am afraid that Cao Cao's troops will soon catch up. At that time, some of the benefits we can get may be divided by Cao Cao. ”

"Feng Xiao reminded me very much, this has to be considered!" Yang Tian frowned slightly. said, "Is there a way for us to slow down Cao Cao's march speed without letting the other party find out?" ”

Jia Xu said: "The subordinates have a strategy to delay Cao Cao's speed, but it takes an army of tens of thousands to complete it. And preferably cavalry. ”

Yang Tian didn't understand what Jia Xu meant, and immediately asked, "What way?" ”

Jia Xu said: "The lord can let Yang Feng pray for rain, get the road wet, and then let a large number of cavalry trample on the official road." The worse the road is, the better, and when Cao Cao's army passes. The speed should be reduced by at least double or more. And the other party will only think that it is raining when our army or Dong Zhuo's army passes through here, and will not think that it is the lord who is causing the damage behind. It's just that this matter must be timed, if Cao Cao's spies know the news, it will inevitably damage the reputation of the lord. ”

Guo Jia took over the topic and said: "Although Brother Wenhe's method is feasible, as he said, this method is not easy to grasp the opportunity, after all, the whole thing, starting from the rain, to completely drenching the official road, and then letting the cavalry go up and trample on it, it takes too long." If you are not careful, you will fail. The subordinates thought of a way, didn't the lord have a team that knew how to lay traps? Let them go out and set traps along the way, Cao Cao's army will inevitably be unable to gallop to their heart's content, and this speed will naturally slow down. ”

When Yang Tian heard this, he thought that this method was indeed better than what Jia Xu said, but this can't be blamed on Jia Xu, who made him not know that there was a group of trappers under Yang Tian's command?

Immediately, Yang Tian checked on you in the Xuanji Ring, and found that there were five adventure professions that had mastered the trap technique, three of which were assassins and two were rangers, and this trapping technique should belong to a general skill, which could be learned no matter what profession. The discovery of these five people undoubtedly made Yang Tian a little overjoyed. If you want to return to Fengyun Sect now to find these people who know how to trap, I am afraid that it will delay the warplane. Now that there is a Xuanji Ring, it can save a lot of effort, to be honest, he usually only cares about transferring talents from various professions to the space in this Xuanji Ring, but he doesn't specifically remember who is inside.

It's only five, but it's enough to deal with the situation here. After all, a person who has mastered the trap skill, as long as he has enough materials and internal force value, can always use the trap technique to create traps, and the speed is still very fast. Coupled with the assistance of several Iron Eagle Warriors, the trap laid by these five people will become a nightmare for Cao Cao's army.

Yang Tian finally handed over this matter to Jia Xu to deal with, because where to place the trap and how to arrange the trap to give the enemy the greatest damage are not something that a ranger or assassin can understand, so a strategist who knows human nature very well is needed to lay it out. Yang Tian not only let Jia Xu go, but also handed over the ghost ring to Jia Xu, which contained countless wood, stones, and iron tools, which were indispensable for arranging traps.

When Yang Tian saw the six golden eagles with twelve people away from the ship and flying in the opposite direction, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to see Cao Cao's depressed face. can make this generation of traitors depressed, Yang Tian only needs to think about it a little, and he has a great sense of accomplishment.

The fleet continued to advance, and in the afternoon of the same day, Yang Tian received a message from Jia Xu that they had set a trap, that the vanguard of Cao Cao's army had entered the trap, and that several unlucky people had died in the trap. The vanguard had already stopped, awaiting further instructions from Cao Cao.

At dusk, Jia Xu sent a message again, saying that Cao Cao had sent several generals with the ability to explore to inspect the entire official road one by one, and destroy the traps found one by one. Jia Xu and the others could only watch as the traps were destroyed one by one. However, their goal was achieved, even more than expected. If Cao Cao had forged some of his soldiers and used his life to test out those traps, this method would undoubtedly increase his speed a lot. But Cao Cao didn't think that someone was deliberately delaying his speed, so he sent someone to eliminate these traps. Although no one was killed by these traps, it slowed down a lot.

Perhaps Cao Cao thought that it was impossible for these people to set traps on all official roads! As long as you go through this paragraph, the rest will be much better. Whether this is the case or not, the only way to speak is to speak with facts.

At noon the next day, Yang Tian had not yet received the news from Dong Zhuo, and it seemed that he didn't teach Dong Da Fat a lesson, he really didn't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye had.

Yang Tian immediately ordered the army to speed up, and at the same time gave orders to Huang Zhong, Jiang Qin and others to prepare for battle.

Huang Zhong, Jiang Qin and others immediately took action, Jiang Qin first ordered Yang Chao and Gong Jun to redeploy all the ships, all the transport ships were arranged in the north, and the battleships were arranged in the south, because Dong Zhuo was on the official road south of the Yellow River at the moment. Immediately, Huang Zhong sent his 100,000 Sun Archers to all the warships in batches, each of which had about 1,000 people, and at the same time, the 10,000 Horneed Horse Archers were also distributed. It's just that they didn't bring their respective mounts, after all, this is a water war, what good can the mounts be?

The Sea King-class battleship was driving on the wide Yellow River, and it was only to see countless mountains retreating rapidly from both sides. At this time, Yang Tian couldn't care about hiding his fleet, anyway, now most people guessed that he had a fleet in the area of Sili.

More than 200 Sea King-class warships lined up in two rows, raging on the Yellow River like a long snake, and the huge waves slapped on both sides of the river with the sailing of the ships, making a huge sound, and the momentum was extraordinary.

In less than a moment, Yang Tian had already seen the rear guard legion of Dong Zhuo's army, only to see that there was not much anger in the bustling crowd, and there was a trace of fatigue on the faces of those soldiers. In addition, from time to time, there are people who have fallen behind, which shows that this army is uneven.

As Guo Jia said before, this section of the official road is now close to the Yellow River, and there is nothing to shelter except for the occasional tree.

Yang Tian didn't set his eyes on these guard legions, he knew that these armies sent by Dong Zhuo to the back must be composed of some lowly soldiers, and it was okay to escort ordinary people, but to fight against the enemy's elite legions, I am afraid it would be the fate of cannon fodder. Even if these people die, Dong Zhuo will not feel distressed, and it will not be in line with Yang Tian's purpose. He had made up his mind to beat Dong Zhuo so that he could know what to choose.

The speed of the fleet decreased rapidly, and the Dong Zhuo Guard Corps on the river bank may have discovered this huge fleet on the river, and immediately broke out into a huge panic, after all, these battleships are now less than four hundred meters away from the river bank, and some of these soldiers and some people with better eyesight can already see the tall catapults standing on the battleships. With such a big killing weapon, how could they not panic? (To be continued)
