Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to defend a city for three months. After all, they were in another civilization's area and were surrounded by hostile forces. Their military strength and logistics would face a great challenge.
However, with the terrain of Sado Island and Yang Rui's Yellow Turban Army as the main characters, the situation would be different.
There were only two small cities and three advanced towns on Sado Island. Yang Rui took down two of the small cities in one go. The remaining NP forces on Sado Island did not have much ability to fight back.
In the Nihon civilization's area outside of Sado Island, the NP forces could not participate in the counterattack on Sado Island. They did not even know what was happening on Sado Island, just like Yang Rui's actions on Shrimp Island.
Of course, it was only similar in form. In fact, Sado Island was still in the periphery of the Nihon civilization's area. Shrimp Island was also in the periphery of the Nihon civilization's area. In terms of ownership, it was one level further away from Sado Island. When Yang Rui took over the territory on the island, there was no relevant system notification.
In this case, it was very easy for Yang Rui to take over Sado Island as a forward stronghold. The only problem was the problem of supplies.
There was no Liegeman Yang Rui on Sado Island, nor was there a territory that officially belonged to him. Therefore, almost all the supplies used by Yang Rui's troops were transported from outside the island. In other words, they had to be completed through the combination of the Flying Carpet, the Transformation Mask, and the Storage Ring.
The Flying Carpet was a prop to cross the two straits, and the Shapeshifting Mask was the guarantee for Yang Rui to teleport in the native area of the Nihon civilization. The space in the storage ring was naturally used to store Yang Rui's soldiers and logistical supplies.
Under these conditions, Yang Rui did not transport too many Yellow Turban Army soldiers to the two cities on Sado Island. He only stationed 100,000 soldiers in each city.
Even so, the two cities were still quite a challenge for the central army. Of course, Yang Rui had quite a lot of food, but limited by the storage space in his storage ring, Yang Rui could not afford too many supplies.
If Sky Castle was in his hands, Yang Rui wouldn't have to be restricted by this, but now that Sky Castle was in Big Mountain City, he couldn't use it easily.
Using the storage ring, Yang Rui had spent more than 30 days in the game before he was able to complete the transfer of 200,000 soldiers.
They could only make two round trips in a game day to transport about 20000 soldiers or 2.5 million catties of food to Sado Island. Although the efficiency wasn't low, it was still quite troublesome.
Moreover, due to the time and cooldown of the Shapeshifting Mask, Yang Rui could only do half of it and rest half. He would switch every three days. The effective time was used to transport soldiers and supplies, while the cooldown time was used by Yang Rui to deal with the affairs of Chen Liu County.
After the stalemate continued for 10 days, Cao Cao's and Yang Rui's armies tacitly chose to stop fighting each other. After another 7 game days, Chen Liu County and the entire Yan Province were no longer in a state of war.
Within Yang Rui's territory, all restrictions had been lifted. All kinds of commerce and trade could be carried out, and the Teleportation Circle could be used normally.
Of course, the removal of the restrictions on the Teleportation Circle was only for normal NPCs. Within Yang Rui's Qing Province, Yan Province, and almost half of Xu Province, players were still restricted from using the Teleportation Circle. Only a few people, such as the Broken Moon Alliance, and a few others were not restricted.
Yang Rui's measures had received a lot of criticism. The public opinion was almost one-sided, blaming Yang Rui for restricting the Teleportation Circle.
However, Yang Rui turned a deaf ear to it. From the beginning, Yang Rui wanted to restrict the activities of players in his territory. Naturally, he wouldn't be affected by the public opinion of normal players and change his mind.
Yang Rui and Cao Cao had reached a truce, but Yang Rui knew that the truce was only temporary. Moreover, the two sides could clash at Hulao Pass, Shanshui Pass, and Shanshui City at any time. They might even enter a state of war again.
Therefore, Yang Rui naturally wouldn't neglect the defense of Chen Liu County. In a situation where he didn't have enough manpower, Yang Rui chose to make Chen Liu County the temporary administrative center of the three provinces.
It was equivalent to a temporary capital. This allowed Guo Jia, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Guan Hai, Yu Jin, Dian Wei, and the other generals to temporarily stay in Chen Liu County to maintain the stability of the region.
In Xu Province, Yang Rui wasn't in a hurry to move his family members away. Instead, he let them stay in place and use it as a temporary residence. None of Yang Rui's family members were unhappy about this.
Of course, considering the issue of combat strength, Yang Rui moved Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, and Huang Zhong to Yiwu City in Xu Province. He had the two of them guard this crucial place. The remaining five generals who had followed Yang Rui to fight with Guo Jia and the others stayed in Chen Liu County. They temporarily guarded Chen Liu County with Governor Xun You.
As for the remaining six generals of Xianbei and Wuhuan, Yang Rui sent one Xianbei general and one Wuhuan general to Xu Province. At the same time, he sent one general from each side to Shrimp Island to take charge of the situation. The remaining two generals from each side stayed in Chen Liu County.
At this point, the five generals of Xianbei and Wuhuan had been completely separated. Yang Rui did this mainly to prevent the two from betraying him. At the same time, he wanted to maximize the advantages of their attributes and soldiers to complement the other troops under his command.
After the new system adjustment and the battle of Chen Liu, the situation in Yang Rui's territory was developing in an orderly manner. Whether it was the production or the trade within the region, they had all improved to varying degrees.
It was worth mentioning that the system update had an impact on production, especially the changes in the production cycle of food crops, buildings, and props. In fact, it was inevitable that there would be some impact.
However, Yang Rui had enough accumulation in his hands. In response to the changes in the production cycle, Yang Rui also ordered the various regions to formulate a series of measures, such as the policy of returning borrowed food. He issued more than ten rules based on various problems encountered, which were enough to allow some producers with difficulties to smoothly get through the transition period.
When Jiao Wen was once again brought to Shrimp Island by Yang Rui and the first ship on the island was completed and launched, Yang Rui accidentally triggered the main quest.
"System Announcement: Three Kingdoms Region Civilization Region player Blazing Sun's ship has appeared in the waters of a non-civilization region. You have triggered the National Stronghold Clue Quest. Special reward: 1000 Reputation Points …"
