Of course, Yang Rui's main purpose of returning to the three civilizations was to figure out the situation and determine the stability of the rear. From there, he could plan for the national war with the Wo Nation.
His return this time also eliminated Yang Rui's worries. For the time being, he could fully focus on the national war.
Yang Rui took care of some matters within his jurisdiction. When he returned to Homesick Island, it was already three or four game days later. The situation on Homesick Island and Prince Beard Island had not changed much.
Putting aside the fact that Zhang He and Ji Ling were guarding Homesickness Island, the Tracing Dragon Soul Division was still keen on fishing. They looked like they were working tirelessly. Most importantly, the sea monsters around Prince Beard Island gave too much EXP.
This action also restricted the Wo Nation troops on the island. However, at least in the morning and at night, the Wo Nation troops on the island still had some time to go out of the island. It also took time for the players' ships to go back and forth.
For some reason, the Wo Nation troops on Prince Beard Island did not even go out of the island once. According to the information that Yang Rui had obtained, there were at least ten ships on Prince Beard Island.
Could it be that the ships on the island were too damaged and could not be used? Yang Rui's guess should be more or less correct. However, no matter what, the Wo Nation troops on the island would probably regret not taking action.
After returning, Yang Rui had already made a decision. He was ready to open up the second battlefield and head towards the Wo Nation's mainland! This way, as long as Yang Rui established a foothold at the end of the Wo Nation's mainland route, the Wo Nation troops on Prince Beard Island would have no way out.
It could be said that Yang Rui had the motivation to open up the second battlefield precisely because he wanted to block the Wo Nation troops on the island. Otherwise, this step could have been delayed for a while.
At this time, the conditions were ripe. With Trace Dragon Soul and the other players' groups sealing off Prince Beard Island, Zhang He and Ji Ling's troops were basically idle at the rear. Homesick Island did not require many troops to stay behind.
At the same time, Yang Rui did not need to attack Prince Beard Island. No matter how many logistical supplies the Wo Nation troops on the island brought, there would be a time when they would be exhausted. According to the general information provided by Wako Uesugi, it should not take more than two game months.
It was because of these two conditions that Yang Rui believed that it was time to attack the Wo Nation's mainland. From the beginning, Yang Rui had also prepared for the second battlefield...........
In fact, Yang Rui had already communicated with Wako Uesugi, who had returned early. After Wako Uesugi returned, he would establish a territory and several docks at the end of the route. After that, he would quickly upgrade the territory. The funds used were all provided by Yang Rui.
Later on, when Yang Rui arrived, he would take over this territory and the docks with lightning speed, making it a foothold for his troops. On the surface, it looked like a battle, but in reality, it was just a transaction between the two sides.
There were a few key links in this. First, there was the issue of the jurisdiction of the territory construction department. Wako Uesugi had to coordinate with the local daimyo, or temporarily expropriate it in the name of a national war.
Second, there was the link of attack and defense. It was inevitable that there would be some battles between the two sides. Otherwise, it would be difficult to fool the public if the situation was too different.
Therefore, before taking any action, Yang Rui rode on the Golden Hawk to investigate the situation.
On the coastline near the end of the route, Yang Rui discovered the silhouettes of several docks and a mountain city behind them.
When Yang Rui's Golden Hawk flew above the mountain city, he discovered that the structure of the mountain city was built in a circular pattern. It was the structure of a mountain city that was closest to the cities of the Three Kingdoms. Yang Rui immediately understood that this mountain city was probably built by Wako Uesugi.
As for how Wako Uesugi managed to coordinate the construction rights in other people's territories, as well as the manpower and resources needed to upgrade the city and docks, Yang Rui wasn't interested in knowing the details. It seemed that Wako Uesugi had done a good job.
Finally, there was the problem of how the two sides were going to communicate. For this reason, Yang Rui ordered the Golden Hawk to stop at the top of the mountain city's Heavensguard Pavilion. He wanted to make contact with Wako Uesugi first and decide how to make the act more realistic.
However, when Yang Rui looked down from Heavensguard Pavilion, he discovered that Wako Uesugi's subordinates were everywhere in the city. Yang Rui then remembered the expression on Wako Uesugi's face when he told him about this matter. At that time, the kid should already have a plan.
Right now, there weren't many guards in the city or docks, and none of them were Wako Uesugi's subordinates. Yang Rui investigated carefully and finally figured out the identity of the guards. They should be the local forces of the famous Nanfang family.
The sea route that Yang Rui opened from Shrimp Island to Honshu, the Nihon civilization's territory, ended in the Nanfang family's territory in Honshu, which was also where Yang Rui was right now.
It turned out that after Wako Uesugi returned to Honshu, he followed Yang Rui's intentions and invited the Nanfang family of Lu Ao. In the name of supporting the nation war, he expressed his willingness to pay a large sum of money for the Nanfang family to build a city and docks near the sea route.
According to the agreement, Wako Uesugi said that the allied army would only use the city and docks during the nation war. After the nation war, the city and buildings would belong to the Nanfang family. There was only one condition, and that was to complete the construction requested by the kid in the shortest time possible.
At first, the Nanfang family didn't take the kid's words to heart. Although they were very tempted by the city and docks, they didn't have any proof. Wako Uesugi's name wasn't well-known yet, so it was hard for them to believe him.
Moreover, if the city and docks were really built, the allied army that the kid represented would keep it for themselves. The Nanfang family admitted that they wouldn't be able to snatch the city and docks from the allied army.
However, after Wako Uesugi took out a large sum of money and said that the war at the frontlines was urgent, the safety of their territory would be threatened if the three nations attacked. At the same time, the kid was also willing to sign an agreement. The Nanfang family finally agreed to build the city and docks.
Wako Uesugi used both the carrot and the stick to get the Nanfang family to agree. After that, he personally supervised the construction of the city and docks. As he had plenty of money, the construction speed of the territory was naturally not slow.
After half a month of construction, the Nanfang family's territory that the kid named "Nation War City" had been upgraded to the level of a small city. The docks that came with it had also been upgraded to the level of an advanced city.
The level of the city and docks had met Yang Rui's requirements. After that, Wako Uesugi used the excuse of deploying troops to continue moving southwest along the coast, which led to the situation that Yang Rui was investigating.
