When Yang Rui met with Trace Dragon Soul and the others, Burning Snow mentioned that she wanted to change the mission of participating in the World War. After some discussion, Yang Rui ordered Trace Dragon Soul and Burning Snow to head directly to the Japanese territory.
Then, Yang Rui left the mission of besieging Wang Huzi Island to himself, Fang Lan, and Zhang San.
At this point in the World War, it could be said that it had truly entered a strategic stalemate, at least on the surface.
Trace Dragon Soul and Burning Snow were naturally very satisfied with Yang Rui's mission distribution. From now on, they could finally display their subjective initiative and focus on earning World War Achievement Points and Contribution Points.
This time, Yang Rui sent Dragon Soul, Burning Snow, and the other players from the three civilizations to the Japanese territory. Later on, it was recognized as one of the important signs that the two civilizations had entered a direct conflict.
Dragon Soul, Blazing Snow, and Flying Snow were transferred to Lu Ao's War City and launched a series of attacks towards Lu Ao's southeast region.
In fact, the direction of the players' attack was also under Yang Rui's instructions. Dewa and the southwest area of Lu Ao had already become Wako Uesugi's territory, so Yang Rui naturally wouldn't allow the players from the three civilizations to attack this area.
Dragon Soul, Burning Snow, and the others were naturally not fools. They had long seen through the tacit understanding between Yang Rui and Wako Uesugi. Without Yang Rui's reminder, they very cooperatively chose to listen to Yang Rui's suggestion.
Let's not talk about this for now. After Trace Dragon Soul, Burning Snow, and the other players went to the Japanese territory, Yang Rui had to consider how to take down Wang Huzi Island.
If he used a forceful attack to take down Wang Huzi Island, it would definitely cause a lot of losses, so it wasn't the most ideal choice. Even so, Yang Rui still mobilized Zhang He and Feng Ji's troops to prepare for a forceful attack.
Currently, the most effective way to deal with the Japanese troops on Wang Huzi Island was to continue to encircle them. According to the information provided by Wako Uesugi, the supplies on the island could only last for about a month. At this time, there was probably less than a third left.
Under such circumstances, Yang Rui only needed to gather his troops and besiege Wang Huzi Island for ten days to half a month. When the food on the island was exhausted, the Wo Nation would be completely defeated.
At that time, even if Yang Rui's troops didn't land on the island, the Japanese on Prince's Beard Island would have to stand up obediently. They could either try their best to break out of the encirclement or surrender directly. Otherwise, there was only one way left for them to starve to death on the island! Trapped to death!
After all, there weren't many ships left on Wang Huzi Island. Even if Yang Rui couldn't achieve a 24-hour day and night siege, it wouldn't be easy for the Japanese troops on the island to break through the encirclement. Moreover, Yang Rui had already taken control of the bridgehead to return to the mainland.
Yang Rui saw the current situation clearly. Taking advantage of the current unbalanced strategic stalemate, Yang Rui handed over the affairs of Homesickness Island and Wang Huzi Island to Fang Lan and returned to the three countries' territory through Shrimp Island.
In contrast, the situation in the three countries' territory was also not stable. Especially after Yang Rui left the three countries' territory to participate in the national war, the various vassals had been acting strangely. Yang Rui understood this very clearly when he returned last time.
After two games, Yang Rui returned to the three countries' territory. He found that the situation around Yang Rui was still very tense. If it weren't for Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and other vassals being suppressed in time, the situation around Yang Rui's territory would be even more complicated.
Even so, the various vassals did not settle down. Not only were they hostile towards Yang Rui's side, but they were also eyeing each other covetously. There were even vassals who had completely bared their fangs.
Among them, the battle between Yuan Shao in Ji Province and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou was the most intense. After Yuan Shao's attempt to cross the Yellow River and attack Qingzhou failed, he focused most of his attention on his old enemy, Gongsun Zan.
In just over ten days, Yuan Shao had already occupied a large portion of Gongsun Zan's territory in Youzhou. During this time, Yang Rui was maneuvering in the Wo Nation's territory, attacking the Yu Nation and Lu Ao Nation's territory.
In the game, Yuan Shao was restrained by Yang Rui. For a long time, his forces weren't as strong as they were in the game. However, compared to Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao's advantage had always been growing. This was related to their reputations, as well as the different manpower and material conditions in Ji Province and Youzhou.
This also meant that Gongsun Zan was still not Yuan Shao's opponent. Although he didn't lose again and again like he did in the game, he still lost a lot of land.
After Yang Rui returned, he learned about the situation between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. After weighing the pros and cons, he sent 200,000 soldiers from Pingyuan City to cross the Yellow River. Under the command of Han Fu and Han Hao, they went straight to Nanpi City and Xindu City.
Yang Rui dared to send troops to Ji Province because he considered the surrounding situation. At the same time, Yang Rui didn't have any intention of expanding his territory. He only wanted to create a threat to Yuan Shao and maintain the stability of Bohai County.
Of course, Yang Rui's main purpose of sending troops was not to watch Gongsun Zan die. He wanted to maintain the current situation of vassals. The alliance between Yang Rui and Gongsun Zan was one of the reasons. At the same time, Yang Rui needed Gongsun Zan to act as a hindrance to Yuan Shao in the north.
Obviously, Yuan Shao didn't expect Yang Rui to suddenly cross the Yellow River and attack. For two to three days, with the cooperation of Han Fu and Han Hao, Yang Rui personally led the army into Ji Province. They captured dozens of territories, including Nanpi City and three other cities.
The sudden attack caught Yuan Shao unprepared. He hurriedly transferred the army that Bu Chen had just sent to Youzhou to the south, almost spitting out most of Youzhou's land.
Yang Rui's goal had been achieved. After understanding the situation of Yuan Shao's troops through the aerial reconnaissance unit, Yang Rui led the troops back to Pingyuan City.
Since then, Yuan Shao had no choice but to focus most of his attention on Qingzhou in the south. This also gave Gongsun Zan a chance to catch his breath.
However, the situation of the vassals in the Three Kingdoms did not change much because of Yang Rui's existence. At this time, the vassal that was expanding the fastest was the Gangdong Sun family.
The other vassals like Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Ma Teng and the others were also not idle. There were many conflicts in various places.
