Yang Rui invited Sun Jian to be the Deputy Protector of the State. It was not because the two had a good relationship. This idea was too simple.
When it came to the relationship between the vassals, it was just like between countries. There were no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
Yang Rui's main purpose of pulling Sun Jian was to restrain him. In the future, whenever it involved foreign military affairs, Yang Rui could justifiably pull Sun Jian together, so that Sun Jian could not be idle.
Moreover, Yang Rui could also force Sun Jian to act at his own pace and occupy more of Sun Jian's independent time. With the position of Deputy Protector, the other party would more or less have to comply.
In addition to Sun Jian, Yang Rui also invited two forces in Shu — Liu Dan and Liu Zhang — to be the Left and Right Protector of the State respectively. The reason was similar to Sun Jian.
Although Liu Dan and Liu Zhang were brothers, they had always been opposed to each other. Yang Rui also had his own intention of giving each of them a sweet date.
For Liu Dan, although he was a force cultivated by Yang Rui, he was not very obedient all the time. Yang Rui invited Liu Zhang to be the Right Protector of the State to warn him.
At the same time, for Liu Zhang, Yang Rui promoting him to the same level of relationship as Liu Dan was no different from a huge recognition, giving him the capital to compete with Liu Dan.
Yang Rui's recognition was a layer of survival guarantee for Liu Zhang. At least for the time being, he did not have to face the pressure of Liu Dan and Yang Rui at the same time.
With such intentions, Yang Rui didn't really want to choose between the two. He wanted to choose one of them as the spokesperson or something like that. From Liu Dan's performance all this time, a spokesperson would never be completely reliable.
Yang Rui's real intention was to temporarily stabilize the balance in Shu and maintain this relationship of restraint before the next step was made. In the end, it was inevitable that the two forces would be taken down together.
As for the remaining large and small forces, regardless of whether they had a hostile relationship with Yang Rui, Yang Rui used the hands of the Han Emperor Liu Xie to give them official positions. Basically, they were all related to the State of Shu.
On this point, Yang Rui did not highlight the difference between good and bad relationships. For example, for a force like Cao Cao, Yang Rui gave them official positions related to the State of Shu. His purpose was similar. When the time came, it would be easier to pull them into the war.
In truth, Cao Cao and the other peripheral forces did not contribute much in the State War. However, since they had sent out their troops, Yang Rui was not stingy with giving them rewards in the name of the Han Emperor.
In any case, with the current strength of the Han Emperor, he could only give them a title without any rewards. Moreover, it could also play the role of restraining the other forces. Why would Yang Rui not be happy to do it?
The matter of the State War came to an end. Not only did the various forces withdraw their troops and return home, Yang Rui also exchanged the contribution points and achievement points he had obtained from the State War.
After completing the entire State War, Yang Rui's contribution points and achievement points had accumulated to about 500 million. These points and achievement points could be used to open up the exchange list.
Yang Rui noticed that at the top of the two lists, there were even Heaven-grade items that were not sacred weapons of civilization. However, since he had the intention of sending troops to the outside world, Yang Rui still focused on increasing the strength of his normal troops.
In the end, Yang Rui exchanged all his contribution points for Grade 6 and Grade 7 skill books for normal soldiers, as well as some basic internal cultivation techniques.
These skill books were used to raise the soldiers to Grade 7, especially the basic internal cultivation techniques. Although he obtained quite a lot of them, they were far from what Yang Rui needed to raise his troops to Grade 7.
Raising the grade of the soldiers was undoubtedly the simplest and most effective way to increase the strength of his troops.
As for the merit points, Yang Rui used them all to exchange for the equipment required by the Sixth and Seventh Grade troops. Yang Rui felt that it wasn't worth it. After all, while the improvement in equipment was great, it would eventually be eliminated as the grade of the soldiers increased.
Fortunately, the Grade 6 and Grade 7 equipment could be considered as the equipment of the intermediate grade and above. Yang Rui's troops would definitely continue to expand. Even if the current soldiers were to be eliminated as their grade increased, they could still be handed over to the new soldiers to use.
In short, the skill books and equipment given to Yang Rui during this State War would not be a problem in the short term. In fact, with the daily rewards, it would be like this for a long time.
Actually, the rewards of the State War were not limited to this. Others might not care too much, but Yang Rui was very clear that the 10% increase in the overall efficiency of the Three Kingdoms was the greatest reward.
This was especially true for Yang Rui. The increase in production efficiency was in line with his plans to increase production, including farming, handicrafts, and commerce.
Therefore, the 10% increase in efficiency was equivalent to stacking a few effect scrolls together. In the following period of time, it would be a great boost to the strength of Yang Rui's territory.
After spending six to seven game days, Yang Rui had more or less settled the matters in Guangling Province where the main battlefield was. When the NPC Liegeman had returned to their original residences and all kinds of production had been restored, Yang Rui returned to Luoyang Royal City.
After a meeting to strengthen the restoration of production and promote trade, Yang Rui went offline after handing over the communication work to Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Sun Qian, Xun You, and the others.
After experiencing the baptism of the Origin Tide and the State War in the United States, Yang Rui was very tired. Thus, he decided to go offline and take a good rest.
In fact, Yang Rui was very clear that this tiredness was not entirely due to the hard work. It was also greatly related to the agreement with Zhuge Liang and the other protectors of civilization.
Yang Rui was even immersed in this feeling of loss for a few days. During this time, he went to many scenic spots around the world to relax, but he still could not completely shake off this feeling of loss.
Perhaps all humans had this kind of weakness. Yang Rui knew that he was not the kind of person who had a strong desire for power. However, in the face of the supreme power that was at his fingertips, seeing her gradually getting closer and then being separated, there was always a trace of restraint and unwillingness to let go.
This kind of loss did not appear on Yang Rui's face. Instead, it lingered in Yang Rui's heart. Even when Yang Rui returned to MLQS Mount Tai Palace, he was still unable to recover.
During this time, Ren Sisi, Chen Xiaonan, Diaochan, and the others all went offline to be alone with Yang Rui. Some of them noticed that Yang Rui seemed to have something on his mind and tried to comfort Yang Rui.
