"… My Lord, this is the general situation right now. Please give me your orders."
In the meeting hall of the Three Prefectures of Flatland City, Cheng Yu gave a general overview of the situation in the three civilizations region while Yang Rui was away.
After hearing Cheng Yu's words, Yang Rui, who was sitting on the main seat, furrowed his brows and seemed to be deep in thought.
Half a day ago, Yang Rui and the others had used the Egyptian civilization region's sacred weapon, the Sphinx Golden Statue, to successfully break through the civilization barrier and return to the three civilizations region. They appeared about a few thousand kilometers west of Hangu Pass, not far from Hangu Pass.
Under normal circumstances, Yang Rui only needed to go to a county and then use the teleportation formation in the city to reach any city in Qingzhou. However, at this time, the teleportation formation in the area of the three civilizations was completely shut down. This kind of situation usually only happened when there was a large-scale war. Yang Rui quickly realized something.
The most ridiculous thing was that the player forum in the game was also forcefully shut down. It was the same in the Egyptian civilization region. He did not expect it to be the same in the three civilizations region!
Linking the two together, Yang Rui could already imagine the current situation in the three civilizations region. Just like the plot reversal in the Egyptian civilization region, the three civilizations region should not be too peaceful!
At this time, a large number of powerful players had already entered the foreign dimension. The players' influence in the normal game world had been reduced to the lowest. Yang Rui had experienced this in the Egyptian civilization region.
When Yang Rui first participated in the region's storyline, he could still see many players participating in the region's storyline. For example, during the battle of Saiz City. The number of players was not small. But in the later stages, there were almost no players left.
Of course, this situation was due to the plot setting. On the other hand, it was also caused by the players in the Outland Tournament dividing up the stronger players!
Moreover, the system was very likely to use this method of dividing up the players to minimize the players' influence on the game's progression. In the end, the NPC forces in the game would generally progress in the general direction!
In this way, even if the system did not explicitly interfere with the game's progression, the game's progression and content would not be too ridiculous. It could be considered a method to indirectly control the game.
The situation in the three civilizations region quickly verified Yang Rui's speculation. Li Jue and Guo Si's Yongzhou region did not see too many problems. When Yang Rui rushed to the vicinity of Chen Liu Prefecture, the situation in the three civilizations region had changed. Then, he discovered that the mobilization of military forces in the county was very abnormal. After further investigation, he found out that Cao Cao and Yuan Shu had already started fighting!
Cao Cao was a careerist. As a player, after Yang Rui had grown into a feudal lord, regardless of his relationship with Cao Cao, he had always treated Cao Cao as a potential threat, even more so than Yuan Shao.
Moreover, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Dai were inextricably linked. The three of them were surrounding Yan Province and Qing Province. Therefore, Yuan Shu being able to attack Cao Cao was not a bad thing for Yang Rui.
However, there were always unexpected things. When Yang Rui controlled Sky City to pass by Chen Liu Prefecture, he received another piece of news. Cao Cao had already taken over more than half of Yan Province's land. He had chased Qiao Mao out of his territory! In the name of restoring the order of the Han Court, he wanted Liu Dai to return to his position as the Provincial Governor of Yan Province!
Moreover, Cao Cao did not stop there. He had even annexed a lot of Ding Yuan's Taishan Prefecture, all the way to the west of Dong Ah County, which was not too far away from Yang Rui's territory, Dashan City. If not for Yuan Shu's attack from the south, who knew what Cao Cao's bottom line was.
Cao Cao's careerist nature had already been revealed. Yang Rui had only left the Three Kingdoms region for less than three months. He did not expect Cao Cao to make such a big move. It could be seen that he had been working hard for a long time!
Faced with such a situation, Yang Rui first rushed to Dashan City and left half of the 300,000 soldiers in Sky City in the city to deal with unexpected needs. He also left Xu You in Dashan City again and hurriedly rushed to Taishan Prefecture's Feng Gao County to find Ding Yuan.
At this time, the strategic location of Dashan City was very different from before. Yang Rui left Xu You in Dashan City. On one hand, he was more familiar with the situation in Dashan City, and on the other hand, he wanted him to be independent. After the trip to the Outland, Xu You had changed a lot.
When Yang Rui rushed to Feng Gao County and saw Ding Yuan, he was relieved. At the same time, Yang Rui also saw Qiao Mao, who was chased away by Cao Cao!
"Blazing Sun, Prefecture Governor, Bohai King! We have waited so long for Lord Bohai to return. It is really the will of the heavens … "
When Qiao Mao saw Yang Rui suddenly appear, he could not even believe his eyes. Originally, they were very clear about Yang Rui's whereabouts, and they also knew that he would not be able to return in one game year. When they finally confirmed that it was indeed Yang Rui who had returned, Qiao Mao was almost in tears.
Although Ding Yuan's reaction was not as strong as Qiao Mao's, he was also very moved. With Yang Rui's return, he believed that everything would be much easier to deal with.
In fact, two days after Qiao Mao was attacked, Ding Yuan had already sent out reinforcements. However, even with the two of them joining forces, they still could not fight against Cao Cao's army and were forced to retreat.
Yang Rui also knew that when Cao Cao attacked Yan Province, Liu Dai did not stay put. He ignored the agreement he signed with Yang Rui and led 200,000 soldiers to Fan County. Although he did not directly attack the city, it was obvious that he had the intention to cooperate with Cao Cao.
This also caused Liu Ba, Wu Anguo, and 200,000 soldiers stationed in Fan County to not act rashly and interfere with Cao Cao's matters.
At that time, Zhang Liao and Chen Lin, who were stationed at Mi County, along with more than 100,000 troops, were also held back. They were not able to send reinforcements to Yanzhou in time. According to the news that came later, it should be because of Liu Bei.
It was said that when Liu, Guan, and Zhang heard about the battle in Yan Province, they also combined the forces of Dongwu Yang County and Liancheng County. Nominally, they were going to reinforce Qiao Mao in Yan Province. However, they did not move for several days. This caused Zhang Liao and Chen Lin to be affected by this uncertain factor and could only stay put and defend the city.
