This is the case in reality. Yuan Shao initiated and participated in the Huojia League as many as hundreds of thousands, but after the defeat of the branch of the Battle of Guandu, the remaining remaining troops were only less than 100,000.

This is just the number of losses on paper troops. In addition to the huge losses in terms of troops, Yuan Shao's land under the jurisdiction of the people and various production indicators also suffered huge losses.

Although it is the severe winter season and agricultural production is basically in a state of stagnation, some handicrafts and commerce are in normal progress. After the troops crossed the border and occupied the southern Jizhou area, the normal life of their people has been damaged, let alone production and other things.

In fact, the most serious thing is the displacement of the southern Jizhou people, who almost lost all their living materials. Even though Yuan Shao was not so stupid that he turned a blind eye to the people like his brother Yuan Shu, the large number of refugees also put a huge burden on the entire Jizhou.

The situation in Jizhou is still like this, so there is no need to say about the situation in Cao Cao's Silizhou.

At this time, Cao Cao still had no trace of it, but he might have returned to Luoyang Imperial City, because all signs indicate that Cao Cao still controlled the area and dispatched troops in the entire Sili Prefecture.

Especially after Shanshui Pass and Shanshui City fell, Cao Cao should have already recognized the situation. The entire Sili Prefecture Cao Cao's troops dispatched to some cities around Luoyang Imperial City, and their troops were tightened.

Originally, Yang Rui just wanted to open up the Hulao Pass-Shanshui Pass line to lay the foundation for merchants and various material exchanges, and did not intend to continue to expand in Sili Prefecture. However, after Cao Cao reduced his troops, Yang Rui occupied Yangwu County and the two county towns of the former Wu County.

Compared with the mountain and water city at the entrance of the narrow passageway, Yangwu County is in the southeast and Yuanwu County is in the northwest, forming a horn together, and the distance between each other is not too far. Yang Rui did not mind some troops stationed in Yangwu and Yuanwu counties.

Under such circumstances, the line between the original Hulao Pass and Shanshui Pass was steadily controlled by Yang Rui. Compared with the time when Cao Cao first occupied Hulao Pass, there have been earth-shaking changes.

The time spent on this change was only a few years before and after, and it was also a testimony to Yang Rui's gradual rise.

After Yang Rui occupied Yangwu County and Yuanwu County, he did not immediately stop using Cao Cao, but he was mainly cavalry raids and no longer continued to attack the city.

The purpose of doing this is very simple. On the one hand, Yang Rui needs to continue to put pressure on Cao Cao, weaken Cao Cao's strength as much as possible, and demonstrate the existence of his own power to the leaders of Silizhou. On the other hand, Yang Rui also needs to earn plot points to prepare for the exchange of real rewards.

This stage span is very long, and it lasted almost half of the winter of the game year 2000. All of them were in turmoil, including Jizhou and Silizhou, and the plot of the Battle of Guandu has not been recognized as ending by the system for a long time.

During this period of time, Yang Rui no longer needs to participate in it personally, but only needs to do some overall scheduling, so he has freed up some time to call on various matters within his jurisdiction.

In the middle of winter, even within the jurisdiction of Yang Rui, Xuzhou and Yanzhou, all productions are basically in a state of stagnation. The so-called matters within the jurisdiction are the production of several workshop-style clusters, mainly including the production of vessels, vehicles, institutions and other instruments, as well as the production of traditional crafts such as winemaking.

Take the production of ships as an example. A series of docks in the north are already in a state of freezing, but they do not affect the processing of components in the docks. Only assembly procedures are left. When the ice is warm and melting in the spring next year, the construction of various ships will be rapid.

In contrast, the docks in the south of Xuzhou have been in normal operation, and the various types of warships and transport ships produced are constantly filled into the battle and transportation sequences.

Overall, although it is a once-in-a-century winter season, Yang Rui's shipbuilding industry has not made much progress, especially the preparation of parts for most shipyards. In fact, it is already expected that ships will put dumplings in the spring of the coming year.

There is no need to explain the traditional crafts such as winemaking. Originally, it was less affected by the season. In addition, the promotion of workshop-style production has sufficient various raw materials and production conditions, so the products are naturally continuous.

It is worth mentioning here that after observing the trade situation of Japan's civilized regional trade, Yang Rui seemed to have seen some problems and deliberately increased the trading of alcohol.

The actual situation is that Yang Rui suddenly thought of the immersion of wine culture. The wine culture in the Dahan area has a long history, but in fact it is not worse than the conductivity of tea and swords to civilization. As a remedial measure, Yang Rui did not hesitate to increase the number of exports in this area.

Later, in the trade with the Japanese civilized region, the sales volume of wine became increasingly large. Even though Yang Rui raised the price to twice the price of the same wine as the Three Kingdoms civilized region, the sales volume was still rising.

In terms of the topic returning to winter production, Yang Rui's jurisdiction is not only the three prefectures of Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou, but also the newly discovered and under development of Yizhou, and the land of Essay that Yang Rui has long occupied.

In the cold winter, the timber production on Emily Island has not been reduced much, and it is still in order to log; while the temperature in Yizhou is much higher, and many farming that cannot be carried out in the north are still underway, basically maintaining a full production state.

In addition to various matters in the jurisdiction, Yang Rui also tried his best to spend time with many families. Among them, Zhang Ning and Han Dai's two children were the objects of Yang Rui's most care, including Huang Wudie, who suffered a skin injury during the Battle of Guandu. By the way, he even visited the Supreme Yiji.

In the end, Yang Rui didn't have much time to be idle. Although Yang Rui didn't need to distract too much from the war, Yang Rui still needs to consider the handling of some regions, such as Hanoi County, Yuzhou and other places.

Chen Gong, the former member of Hanoi County, had no idea where the tribes had fled to. The general direction was to Bingzhou northwest, which was the hometown of the tribes such as Lu Bu.

Yang Rui was preparing to keep Hanoi County for his own use, but how to occupy and who to send to build, garrison, etc. is still a big problem.

At the same time, there is also the original Yuan Shu territory in a disordered state. Since the Huojia Alliance, the state of gathering troops in Yuzhou has been in the past, but it is also in a mess at this time that it cannot be clarified.

All matters are complicated and chaotic, and the 2000-year end of the game is about to come.
