The Three Kingdoms Online Overlord

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo..."

"..."

Yang Rui's large-scale national collapse and javelin rushing roared almost all night. When the sky was getting brighter, Yang Rui put them all away and ordered all the troops to set up camp outside Fengqiu County. The look of a long siege.

This night Cao Cao's troops were not quiet. They had a battle with Yuan Shu in the first half of the night. When the fruits of victory were almost at their fingertips, Yuan Shu welcomed a terrifying number of reinforcements. Finally, they were besieged again in Fengqiu County and endured a night's sleep. Cannonballs and crossbows.

Looking at Fengqiu County at this time, the city walls are covered with large and small scars, especially in the direction of the west city gate, which was ravaged by 40 large-scale national collapses overnight.

There are only a few soldiers scattered around the gate tower and the city wall to guard, and most of the time they hide behind the female wall, and from time to time they show their heads like thieves and come out to investigate.

After observing in the middle of the night, Cao Cao's men learned well. They found that the soldiers who besieged the city did not seem to have any intention of attacking the city at all. Later, they sent people to take turns to guard, while others hid under the city wall or at the city gate. Inside the building.

However, Yang Rui quickly withdrew the large-scale national collapse and the rushing vehicles that raged in the middle of the night, which made the soldiers in Fengqiu city a little uncomfortable. up.

"Brother Gonglu, Qingzhou Pingyuan County is in an emergency. Yuan Benchu ​​took advantage of the absence of my main force and caused trouble behind his back. At this time, I must return to Qingzhou to deal with Yuan Benchu. I don't know what the plan is for Brother Gonglu. Do you want to return to Yuzhou immediately?"

Inside the big tent outside Fengqiu City.Yang Rui said to Yuan Shu seriously.

Next, Yang Rui was going to blackmail Cao Cao. It would be inconvenient for Yuan Shu to be present. Originally, Yang Rui couldn't find a suitable excuse to dismiss Yuan Shu, but Guo Jia had already found a suitable reason for him.

"Ugh! That's what happened."

Yuan Shuyan said, thinking it's no wonder Qingzhou soldiers and horses just besieged and did not attack. It turned out that Qingzhou territory was threatened by Yuan Shao, which could also explain why the Lieyang State Shepherd seemed to give up his plan to attack the city.

At the same time, Yuan Shu also had a lot of balance in his mind, if Qingzhou dispatched so many soldiers and horses.Still not afraid of Yuan Shao's attack, under such circumstances Qingzhou's military strength will be very terrifying!Now it seems that Lie Yang has brought most of Qingzhou's troops with him.

"Yuan Shao's concubine is indeed a rascal. Brother Lie Yang hastened to return to Qingzhou. It's just that Cao Cao's traitors have been taken advantage of. I will return to Yuzhou to rectify our troops and try to fight Cao Cao again... "

Perhaps because he was rescued by Yang Rui before, or because he was blinded by Cao Cao's hatred, Yuan Shu easily believed Yang Rui's words.Turn back to Yuzhou and go.

Of course, this is also related to the agreement reached between Yuan Shu and Yang Rui.This agreement is not as comprehensive as the agreement between Yang Rui and Qiao Mao, Ding Yuan, and Han Fu. It is just an agreement that if Party B still has a war with Cao Cao, the two parties will automatically form an alliance against Cao Cao.

Similar to the "wartime alliance agreement" in reality, after seeing Yang Rui's powerful strength and at the same time having an indissoluble hatred with Cao Cao, this agreement was quickly accepted by Yuan Shu once Yang Rui proposed it.

This is also one of the reasons why Yuan Shu would leave happily.

After Yuan Shu left, the rest of the matter was much easier to handle. Yang Rui was not in a hurry, and planned to siege the city for a few days before discussing it.

At this time, the situation in Yanzhou has been settled. Qiao Mao and Ding Yuan are rectifying Yanzhou in the rear. Yuan Shao in Jizhou is unable to threaten Qingzhou, and Liu Dai in Dongjun does not dare to act rashly. What's more, Zhang Liao and Chen Lin have already been liberated. , Liu Dai was even more afraid to act rashly.

Such a siege without attack put a lot of pressure on Cao Cao's troops in Fengqiu County. Just half a day later, Cao Cao sent envoys to find Yang Rui's camp.

"Cao Cao's envoy——Mao Jie asks to see the lord, please let me know!"

Cao Cao's envoy is here, but Cao Cao's problem of liking to show off his IQ has been manifested again. Before entering the big tent, the envoy Mao Jie already asked to see Yang Rui by name. You must know that although Yang Rui's troops surrounded Fengqiu City , but did not fly any banner, even so was recognized by Cao Cao.

Under normal circumstances, it doesn't matter. I don't know if Cao Cao wants to resonate with Yang Rui at this time, or if he didn't think carefully for a while. If other princes were here, he could hide it but was recognized by Cao Cao. Identity, I don't know what kind of emotion it will be.

Yang Rui didn't care. Whether Cao Cao saw through his identity was just his eyesight to Yang Rui. At this time, Cao Cao was able to send an envoy to ask for an interview, which met Yang Rui's needs, but I don't know if Cao Cao could see this. that's it.

"Pass him in."

After exchanging glances with Guo Jia, Gao Shun and others in the big tent, Yang Rui asked the messengers to bring Mao Jie into the big tent.

Yang Rui had dealt with Mao Jie when he was in Changyi City. Although he had no direct contact with him, Yang Rui also knew his talent.

In fact, many of Cao Cao's practical policies have a lot to do with Mao Jie. For example, Cao Cao's implementation of the system of garrisoning land, and the two major policies of coercing the emperor to order the princes were actually first proposed by Mao Jie. It's just that the sources in Romance and Unofficial History have been slightly modified.

From this, Mao Jie's general talent can be seen. In Yang Rui's eyes, this person's talent and value are no less than any high-level advisers and internal affairs talents in Cao Cao's group. can.

But at this time Mao Jie had already recognized Cao Cao as the master, even if Yang Rui had any thoughts, there was not much room for maneuver.

"Mao Jie, the envoy of Chenliu's prefect Cao Cao, has met Lieyang Qingzhou Zhoumu and Lord Bohai King! The last time Mao Jie didn't know the identity of the adult in the battle, please forgive me for being rude..."

After Mao Jie was led into Yang Rui's tent by the soldiers, he glanced around and saluted Yang Rui respectfully.

During the Battle of Changyi City, Mao Jie had a conversation with Yang Rui before the battle.That's why he was able to recognize Yang Rui.

Just a simple sentence.What Mao Jie said cleverly revealed a lot of information.The most notable of these is Cao Cao's identity, which in Mao Jie's mouth has become the original "Chenliu Prefect", not any other title.

You must know that Cao Cao also occupied the Yanzhou government - Changyi City not long ago, and he has great plans to take the post of governor of Yanzhou himself!

At this time, Cao Cao's envoy Mao Jie took the initiative to change his title to "Chenliu Prefect", which also revealed that he voluntarily gave up the competition for the Yanzhou territory, and was willing to shrink his power within the scope of Chenliu County, and no longer had other ideas.

It is estimated that this is also because Mao Jie personally participated in the battle of Changyi City and knew about the intervention of Yang Rui's forces.As well as all the ground conditions in Yanzhou, this led Cao Cao to make such a choice. It is undeniable that Cao Cao is still very wise on this point.

"Oh... ..."

Facing Mao Jie's enthusiasm, Yang Rui just responded softly, with a calm and indifferent look.

"Lieyang State Shepherd, Lord Bohai King, the previous incident in Yanzhou was indeed a misunderstanding. My lord Cao Cao was bewitched and coerced by Yuan Shao, so he made a wrong step. Please understand the state herdsman. Give my lord a chance to reform. ..."

Seeing Yang Rui's expression, Mao Jie said frankly.Putting his body down extremely low, he almost knew that he came here as an envoy to plead guilty to Yang Rui!

Based on the comparison of strength inside and outside Fengqiu County at this time, Cao Cao has no choice but to do so. Although he is good at calculating, he never thought that Yang Rui would count him to death, which caused the current situation of riding a tiger.

The main reason is that Yang Rui's return was too sudden. Cao Cao didn't take Yang Rui into consideration from the very beginning, so that no matter how Cao Cao calculated before, from the moment Yang Rui suddenly appeared, all the plans and structures he had previously planned and constructed Everything collapsed in an instant.

"... Lieyang Zhoumu, Lord Bohai King, this is a congratulatory gift prepared by my lord Cao Cao to congratulate you on your triumphant return from a foreign space. Please have a look..."

Seeing that Yang Rui still had no intention of spitting out, Mao Jie simply took out a "receipt" from his long sleeves, and respectfully passed it to Yang Rui, saying that it was a "receipt", but it was obviously called a "compensation bill" more Appropriate, but Cao Cao was conscious and sensible, before Yang Rui asked for it, he took the initiative to bring it up.

"Money: 100 million gold coins;

Grain: 1000 million units;

Timber: 1000 million units;

Stone: 1000 million units;

... ...

The best beauties: 1000;

Excellent horses: 2000;

... ...

Architectural drawings: 10 copies (advanced and above)

..."

Cao Cao's compensation sheet was long enough, almost full of two volumes, but Yang Rui took it over and glanced at it for a few times before laughing, these things...  

"Hahahaha... Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde..."

After reading Cao Cao's "gift list", Yang Rui looked up to the sky and laughed, and muttered two words of Cao Cao's name. Seeing this, Mao Jie became puzzled, and several generals including Yang Rui who were present also turned their eyes to Yang Rui.

However, the doubts of the members of Yang Rui's department were only temporary. When Yang Rui passed Cao Cao's "gift list", they all smiled and shook their heads after reading it, and said nothing more.

Probably because although there are many items on Cao Cao's "gift list", they are too common for Yang Rui's Qingzhou land!

Yang Rui has no shortage of basic resources such as food, wood, stone, etc., and most of them are almost out of place to put them. Other items on the "gift list" are also common, and most of them can be bought with money. Yes, the most valuable item is the 100 million gold coins.

However, 100 million gold coins is not a small amount, but to Yang Rui now, it is indeed not a big money, and this is the main reason why Yang Rui looks up to the sky and laughs.

As for the "extreme beauties" mentioned in the "gift list", it was probably decided by Cao Cao according to his own preferences, but it was not very attractive to Yang Rui. There were not a few real "extreme beauties" around him. The level is also far beyond those that can be listed on the gift list!

The funniest thing is that Cao Cao actually put the beauties and the horses together. Yang Rui finally laughed out loud after seeing this, but he will definitely not reveal this.

"... Lieyang State Mu, Lord Bohai King, this..."

Mao Jie was very puzzled by Yang Rui's long smile and the expressions of the people present. In his opinion, Cao Cao's "gift list" was enough, but the expressions of the people in Qingzhou looked very wrong. There are many problems in the "gift list"!

However, Mao Jie couldn't ask too bluntly, so he could only speak tentatively, hoping that the other party could clear up his doubts.

"You don't have to worry about Xiaoxian, but I don't lack the things that your lord gave me, so I just smiled..."

Faced with Mao Jie's doubts, this time Yang Rui's attitude was much gentler, and he directly called Mao Jie's name, no longer as cold as before.

"So, I don't know what Lieyang State Mu and Lord Bohai King want, so I can turn around and report to my lord.

The lord has also often mentioned Master State Shepherd and King Bohai, and recalled the scene of being the captain of Xiyuan in the past. This time the lord was indeed bewitched and coerced by Yuan Benchu, so he made a wrong move. Please forgive me.

According to Yuan Benchu's intention, my lord and Liu Dai originally wanted to cooperate with Liu Dai to jointly attack the land of Dongjun, but my lord decided to shirk it. With the friendship between my lord and your lord, it should not be inferior to Yuan Benchu, this time it is true It was Yuan Benchu ​​who got in the way, that's why..."

Mao Jie also felt the change in Yang Rui's tone and attitude, and knew that the core content was about to be involved, so he lowered his posture again and said a lot of good things, basically asking for Yang Rui's understanding.

"Hey~~~ Xiaoxian doesn't have to be like this. As you said, in the past in Xiyuan, Meng De and I had a close relationship. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be so polite today, and I just waved my army to take Fengqiu County. It’s enough for Meng Delai to inquire about the crime, hahaha..."

"It's so! It's so..."

With the deepening of the dialogue between Yang Rui and Mao Jie, the negotiations between the two sides have gradually entered the substantive stage. Other friendships are actually fake. It's just a matter.

"...My lord knows that Qingzhou is rich and prosperous, so before leaving, he told me that if Lieyang Zhoumu and Bohai King have any dissatisfaction, they should correct it. I don't know what your needs are. ....."

After some conversations, the emotional cards of the two sides were similar, and Mao Jie couldn't help but mention the chips again. (To be continued..)
