In the end, Yang Rui adopted the opinion of the General Staff Headquarters. This was also the method that Yang Rui and Wako Uesugi had considered. They would complete the reorganization of their forces in the Three Kingdoms region as soon as possible, and try to maintain a temporary balance in the Wo civilization region.
Next, Yang Rui ran back and forth between the two civilizations, constantly paying attention to the various movements and developments. He even had to put more effort into the outermost layer of the Foreign Space, the magic civilization region, and the sacrificial civilization region, so he could only casually take care of them.
As for clearing the Tower of Babel and the like, there was no time at all. Therefore, the number of summoning items in Yang Rui's hands did not continue to increase. There were still more than twenty of them.
Under the full promotion of Yang Rui, the affairs of the Three Kingdoms region in Jingzhou and Yuzhou were handled very quickly, and the stabilization progress was better than expected.
In Jingzhou, Cai Mao and Liu Cong's attitude did not change much. Perhaps they were shocked by the battle of Xiangyang City, but they were determined to follow Yang Rui.
This made Yang Rui worry a lot less. With the "assistance" of Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu's troops, there were no abnormal movements in Jingzhou. Wherever the two troops went, they were warmly welcomed by the local people.
It must be known that Yang Rui's two "peacekeeping troops" represented the Han Emperor in name, but the truth was that almost all the forces in Jingzhou could guess almost exactly what was going on.
Therefore, most of the forces did their best to curry favor with these two troops, taking the initiative to befriend Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu so that they could gain benefits in the possible redistribution of forces.
The General Staff Headquarters' advice for such a situation was to befriend them as much as possible, unless the other party had some hidden agenda or was essentially an evil faction in Jingzhou.
Therefore, with Yang Rui's support, Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu gained a lot of friendship in Jingzhou. They drank a lot of wine, and many forces even gave them a lot of wealth. It could be said that they earned a lot.
The two of them had the same attitude when it came to wealth and goods. They both told Yang Rui everything in detail. They were worthy of being fellow apprentices of the same master. Yang Rui was very appreciative of this and planned to reward them when they returned.
As the affairs in Jingzhou stabilized, Yang Rui combined the opinions of the General Staff Headquarters and Jia Xu. At this moment, Yang Rui had included Jia Xu in the think tank of the General Staff Headquarters and appointed the governors and registrars of the three counties for the first time.
This included Wuling County, Lingling County, and Guiyang County. In principle, they were all former officials of Jing Province. Among them, those who were "related" to Zhang Yun and Zhang Xiu were given priority to be appointed.
The Governor of Wuling County, Wen Pin, was the Chief Secretary, Kuai Yue. In actuality, Wen Pin's whereabouts were unknown. It was basically Kuai Yue who took over all the county matters. This was also because Yang Rui wanted to support the Jingzhou nobles. However, he did not give them any official positions, so it could be considered a test.
As for Wen Pin, according to history, he was Liu Cong's follower who surrendered to Cao Cao. However, after the Battle of Xiangyang City, he disappeared. Yang Rui loved talents and wanted to use this as an excuse to lure him out.
Lingling County Governor Han Song, Registrar Wang Can. Han Song was one of the people who had sided with Zhao Yun this time. Yang Rui also knew that this person had some talents, so he appointed him to Lingling County, while his family stayed in Nanyang County for the time being. It was a kind of restraint.
Wang Can was quite talented and provided many ideas for Zhang Xiu. When Zhang Xiu first entered Jingzhou, he used the excuse of returning to Shanyang County to 'coincidentally' meet Zhang Xiu's army and recommended himself as a guide. Appointing this person was also a way for Yang Rui to express his attitude towards Jingzhou.
Guiyang Prefecture Governor Huang Zu, Registrar Yi Ji. Just like Wen Pin, Huang Zu disappeared after the battle. Yang Rui's intention of appointing him as governor was obvious, just like his appointment of Wen Pin.
Yi Ji was someone recommended by Wang Can. He had also 'worked' in Jingzhou for many years and was very familiar with the various matters in Jingzhou.
After Yi Ji was recommended, he followed Zhao Yun and worked hard. His abilities were not bad, so Yang Rui appointed him as a registrar in Guiyang Prefecture. He temporarily controlled a Prefecture.
Apart from that, Cai Mao was the Jingzhou Prefecture Major. However, Cai Mao expressed that he was only in name and only in charge of the South Prefecture. He would not interfere with the soldiers of the other Prefectures.
After going through the series of events in Jingzhou, Liu Cong understood and asked Yang Rui for a position in the Imperial City. He was given the title of Guanglu Xun. However, he was still allowed to stay in Xiangyang City to show his grace to Liu Cong.
The above were all positions given in the name of the Han Emperor. Moreover, they were not given all at once. They were given one every few days to prevent abnormal reactions in Jingzhou.
As for the remaining Nanyang Prefecture, Changsha Prefecture, and South Prefecture, there was no need to think too much about it. For example, Nanyang Prefecture did not matter who was appointed. As for Changsha Prefecture and South Prefecture, due to their important geographical locations, they were still under observation.
In reality, there was no abnormal response in Jingzhou so far, which basically meant that things had already stabilized. Yang Rui borrowed the power of the Han Dynasty to confer a batch of official positions. Although they were still subordinate in name, almost everyone had already expressed their intention to follow him. It was just that Yang Rui temporarily considered the impact and did not confirm it.
For example, Cai Mao and a few others did not only express their intention to follow him, but they also wanted to directly submit to Yang Rui. For the time being, they were suppressed by Yang Rui. This period of time was too sensitive. The domestication of Jingzhou still needed time, and it also needed time to solidify in the eyes of the world.
Since Jingzhou was like this, the situation in Yuzhou was actually better. The remnants of Yuan Shu had long intended to rely on Yang Rui and had come into contact with him before.
In this attack on Jingzhou, Yang Rui took advantage of the situation to occupy the entire Yuzhou. Most of the remnants of Yuan Shu surrendered, so Yang Rui did not spend much effort to obtain Yuzhou.
Among them, Ji Ling, Yang Hong, Zhang Xun, Chen Ji, and Lei Bao were the largest of Yuan Shu's remnant forces. They also included Yan Xiang and other strategists. There would occasionally be some conflicts between the remnant forces. In actuality, what Yang Rui wanted to do was to let the remnant forces get along better with each other, which was more difficult than taking them in.
Through the Han Emperor's method of re-appointing prefectures, Yang Rui also obtained the followers of Yuan Shu's remnant forces. Their relationship was even more tenacious than Jingzhou's.
Of course, Yang Rui also invested a lot of manpower and resources in Yuzhou. Most of it was done by Qingzhou and Xuzhou.
