The development of the situation in the Nihon civilization area was somewhat beyond Yang Rui's expectations. He expected that his action of helping Wako Uesugi to expand his sphere of influence might be hindered, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
It could be seen that in the current context, the Nihon civilization area was still very sensitive. Just because they defeated the Rokkaku family, it caused a chain reaction. Even the Daimyos who participated in the Anti-Uesugi Kenshin Alliance and the forces that had just been married were involved.
Of course, the people used by the forces of the Anti-Uesugi Kenshin Alliance were not key figures. Most of them were just some beautiful concubines that were casually selected.
After Yang Rui and Wako Uesugi's analysis, they believed that the Daimyos who were far away were just here to join in the fun, such as the Ryuzōji family, the Otomo family, and the Shimazu family. These three families' interests were clearly unrelated at this time.
Even if Wako Uesugi defeated the Maori family, which was the closest to him, because the three families were all on Kyushu, they had a strong navy that could block the invasion.
Because in comparison, the Uesugi Clan's development on land was too fast, so the construction of the navy seemed to be very backward. With just the Uesugi Clan's strength, the navy could not be developed in a short period of time.
With this as the starting point, it was also confirmed that the purpose of the Ryuzōji family, the Otomo family, and the Shimazu family participating in the alliance was largely to join in the fun.
Yang Rui couldn't help but think that these barbarians really didn't know the principle of befriending the distant and attacking the nearby. They only knew that the gun would shoot the bird that stood out. They just rolled up their sleeves and attacked together.
There was a similar scene in the history of Nihon. When Oda Nobunaga's forces were strong, a group of Daimyos also formed an Anti-Oda Nobunaga Alliance. The Rokkaku family that was defeated by Yang Rui was one of the participants.
However, in the historical facts, the Anti-Oda Nobunaga Alliance ended in failure. Many historians in the real world had analyzed that there were too many Daimyos who only shouted but didn't actually do anything. The trust between them was too low, and it was impossible for them to cooperate perfectly. As a result, the Anti-Oda Nobunaga Alliance lost miserably even though they had the advantage in strength.
Of course, even Yang Rui and Wako Uesugi were unwilling to face an alliance. If Yang Rui and Wako Uesugi were given the opportunity, they could find excuses to defeat the Daimyos.
However, the Anti-Uesugi, the Anti-Oda Nobunaga Alliance, the Anti-Uesugi of Niuesugi's alliance. no matter what action they took, they would inevitably be constrained. of Niuesugi.
Fortunately, although the Anti-Uesugi Alliance had been quickly established, they didn't seem to have reached a consensus internally. On one hand, there were two factions. The intention of forming the alliance was to contain Wako Uesugi. They didn't advocate taking the initiative to attack. They just wanted to maintain the status quo.
The other faction was represented by the three Daimyos, such as the Ryūzauji Family, the Otomo Family, and the Shimazu Family. They were generally far away from Wako Uesugi's current sphere of influence. Even if the city gate was on fire, they wouldn't be affected. Therefore, they were the most active.
This faction naturally advocated taking the initiative to attack. They even took the initiative to say that they would directly send troops to help. However, most of the troops they sent were naval forces. They were taking advantage of the fact that Wako Uesugi didn't have any significant naval forces in his hands at this time.
Therefore, when Yang Rui returned to the Nihon civilization area, the Anti-Uesugi Alliance hadn't decided on how to target Wako Uesugi. For the time being, the Anti-Uesugi Alliance was mainly based on the opinions of the Daimyos who had the most benefits. They would use the name of the alliance to contain Wako Uesugi. They wouldn't take the initiative to start a war.
Only a particularly active Daimyos had sent troops. It was still the Ryūzauji Family. In Wako Uesugi's eyes, they were bellicose and troublemakers. When they gave the ugly girl to Wako Uesugi when he proposed marriage, their attitude had already been made clear.
"Kid, do you want to get rid of all these Daimyos in one fell swoop?"
As soon as Yang Rui returned to the Nihon civilization area, Wako Uesugi angrily told Yang Rui the above facts, especially that the Ryūzauji Family was a thorn in his side.
However, the establishment of the Anti-Uesugi Alliance in the Nihon civilization area also made Yang Rui suddenly realize something. A more direct plan than before had already emerged in Yang Rui's mind.
Previously, Yang Rui's thinking was influenced by the Jingzhou Strategy, but he didn't use all the points of the Jingzhou Strategy.
In fact, the Nihon civilization area wasn't that big as a whole. It might not be as vast as the Yuzhou area of the Three Kingdoms civilization area. However, it was a civilization area of its own. Although it was small, it had all the essentials.
Yang Rui's vision was limited to the inside of the sparrow. He didn't look at it as a whole. Now that all the Daimyos had joined forces, Yang Rui suddenly realized this point.
Since the Nihon civilization area wasn't as big as Yuzhou, and Wako Uesugi occupied more than half of the area, there wasn't much left.
Thinking back to how the eight Oda Nobunagas only managed to gather a total of eighty-eight generals in the Luo Camp, according to the ratio, the remaining Daimyos' generals would at most have two or three times that number.
For the time being, even if they could reach two hundred and fifty to sixty historical generals, the number of generals under Yang Rui and Uesugi's command would reach half of this number, and this was still the most conservative estimate.
Moreover, this was only at the level of generals. Moreover, Yang Rui's soldiers were all Third Grade higher than the average soldiers in the Nihon civilization area. Even if the number of soldiers couldn't compare to the enemy, the difference in generals wasn't that big.
Moreover, there was an imbalance in offense and defense. The difference in the number of generals in a unit area wasn't that big. It could even form a local advantage. In addition, Yang Rui had accumulated another ten or so character summoning orbs for clearing the Tower of Babel. They could continue to make up for the difference in the number of generals.
At the same time, Yang Rui could use some strategies to take down some sealed areas first. For example, the three Daimyos in Kyushu who had been stirring up trouble would definitely weaken the Alliance's forces first. The other Daimyos could only watch.
Therefore, since the other party had tied him together, it was like Cao Cao had chained the ship. Yang Rui didn't mind setting fire to the other party and completely flattening the entire Nihon civilization area.
However, this involved mobilizing most of Yang Rui's generals and forces in the Three Kingdoms civilization area. It required enough time to prepare. At the very least, he had to stabilize the current Jingzhou and Yuzhou area before he could proceed.
