Not being able to capture Cao Cao meant that it would be difficult to get rid of Cao Cao's forces in Si Lizhou in one fell swoop. Yang Rui had to consider the following situation.
In particular, it would be difficult to clean up Yuan Shao's forces in Ji Zhou in a short period of time. After Yuan Shao was defeated in the Battle of Guandu in the Epic and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao took some time to clean up the mess.
At this time, Yang Rui admitted that he did not have the strength to fully control Ji Zhou, especially when he did not have enough historical generals or famous historical figures. The land he took over was too large and difficult to digest.
This was a contradiction. Yang Rui had also thought of stabilizing the situation in the three civilizations in the shortest time possible to free up more energy to deal with the affairs of the other civilizations.
However, the progress of the game's background was not easy to grasp. After all, Yang Rui's own strength was still limited. He could not guarantee that he would be able to push the wheels of history in the game.
On the contrary, he might encounter special adjustments by the system halfway through, or the process of the entire civilization area would be accidentally pushed forward, or some special activities or events might catch him off guard and cause him to be unable to take care of both sides.
Therefore, Yang Rui's considerations were still moving forward steadily.
In particular, the development of Yizhou required a lot of energy. Yang Rui would also expend a certain amount of energy in the Wo civilization area. Even if Wako Uesugi had developed and grown stronger, he could not rule out the possibility that he would be challenged by various parties.
In particular, the Wo civilization area was also in the middle of the third large-scale system plot. The famous Luo Ye had only played the beginning. Wako Uesugi would definitely face a lot of problems.
According to Yang Rui's opinion, the recent relative peace in the Wo civilization area was likely the result of the system waiting for the other civilizations to catch up. Just like the current three civilizations area, the third large-scale system plot had started on schedule.
Yang Rui had reason to believe that as the third large-scale system plot started in more civilizations, the Wo civilization area would not be as calm as it was now.
After considering all of the above considerations, Yang Rui felt that he should be based on his current territory, steadily grow his forces, increase the number of historical generals and famous historical figures in his hands, and then slowly expand outwards. It was even possible to eventually control most of the Han Dynasty area.
Of course, this was only Yang Rui's temporary idea. Not long after that, something happened that caused Yang Rui to quickly change his opinion. He had to act according to another set of methods. This was all in the future.
On the other hand, Yang Rui had mobilized his troops to search for Cao Cao's whereabouts in several possible areas. He had also used Ethereal Ninjas and flying pets to quickly spread the news. However, after an entire day and night, there was no news of Cao Cao at all.
At the same time, in the process of searching for Cao Cao, Yang Rui's troops encountered a lot of difficulties.
Even though they were chasing after Cao Cao's retreating troops, the current environment was still the twelfth lunar month after all. The freezing of the Yellow River was a reflection of the current cold weather. The conditions for marching and fighting were even more difficult. In a pursuit battle, the influence of the environment was much more serious than the battle on the city wall.
A pursuit battle that had a slight deviation in the estimation of the environment quickly highlighted many problems. Yang Rui's troops had problems, including the inability to mobilize supplies, the soldiers caught a cold, and the formation of the troops due to the different speed of the pursuit.
Yang Rui's troops had fought many times and frequency, but it was the first time they fought such a fierce battle in a cold environment. Therefore, there were some difficulties in the process of the battle.
This was very different from a simple alliance meeting or a simple city defense battle. To put it simply, in a harsh cold environment, it was indeed not suitable for war. This was the same in the game as in reality.
It could be said that the Jiajie alliance and the entire Battle of Guandu's storyline actually triggered the game's storyline. Or it could be said that the three civilizations were rushing the storyline, and the influence of the season and environment was not treated as a condition.
The various situations that the troops faced were quickly summarized in Yang Rui's hands. At this time, Yang Rui had led his troops south to the Martial Cultivation County in the western part of Jiajie City.
After a large number of troops gathered, in addition to the large player organization that surrounded the Martial Cultivation County on three sides, Chen Gong's troops or Lu Bu's remaining troops in the Martial Cultivation County had already given up on defense. They fled at the sight of the wind and directly surrendered the city.
After Yang Rui's' meeting 'with the large player organization, a representative of Dragon Soul communicated with Dragon Soul through a special channel and arranged a meeting with Yang Rui.
It was unknown whether it was intentional or purely coincidental, but Dragon Soul sent a beautiful spokesperson to meet with Yang Rui. Her image and temperament did not lose out to Burning Snow and Boss Rose.
Yang Rui could only smile bitterly at Dragon Soul's arrangement. At this time, Burning Snow and Boss Rose were in a very awkward situation. This also made Yang Rui feel very awkward. Dragon Soul seemed to have similar thoughts.
Although the beauty was moving, Yang Rui did not take note of the other party's self-introduction. He only urged her to get to the point.
As Dragon Soul's spokesperson, she was naturally eloquent. In just a few words, the woman had already clearly expressed Dragon Soul's intentions. She also asked Yang Rui to give a direct reply. This was because their Dragon Soul's instantaneous communication method seemed to have a high price.
Dragon Soul's matter was actually not complicated. They were the leader of a large player organization. In this storyline, they had joined Yang Rui's side and obtained some results. This was especially true in the Hanoi County and Jizhou region. With Dragon Soul as the leader, the large player organization had captured more than ten county-level cities.
This was definitely an outstanding achievement for a player organization. If it was not for the Excellent Alliance, perhaps the large player organization would not have the ability to go around attacking and plundering cities.
Dragon Soul's intention was very simple. They wanted to use this opportunity to establish their own territory and ask for Yang Rui's opinion.
For them, the eight county-level cities in Si Li Province, the cities captured in Hanoi County, and the cities captured in Jizhou were all options.
The player organizations in Si Li Province had occupied the cities for a long time and had a certain foundation. However, Si Li Province was after all a strategic location. Dragon Soul and the other player organizations might not be able to hold on for a long time.
As for the cities captured in Jizhou, Dragon Soul and the other large player organizations felt that it would be very difficult to hold on to them. The best remaining location was Hanoi County.
Of course, Yang Rui's attitude was very important. It could even affect whether or not the player organizations would be able to settle down.
