The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 189: Yan State Strategy

The capital of Yan State, at this time this prosperous city in the north, has completely depressed, and all the middle-aged men in the city have been conscripted on the battlefield by their king.

There are only a few old and weak women and children in this city. How can they support the prosperity of this huge city? They are not in the mood to go. Their husbands, sons, fathers and brothers are all on the battlefield, so why are they in the mood to do it? What about these?

In and outside the city, two armies with a number of more than 400,000 gathered. Under this city, they will be engaged in a war that is destined to affect the entire world.

"Your Majesty, are we really going to fight this siege war with Yan Guo" The old and cunning Cao Cao, as a very important commander in this 300,000 army, naturally does not want his The army was wasted in this meaningless siege.

"Naturally not. I just hope to gather Yan's army here, and then encircle them and restrain them, so that they can't be dispatched." Zhong Yu naturally knows the doubts of many generals under him.

"His Majesty has achieved his goal, whether he has other preparations at this moment, and can he inform his ministers of the plan so that he can cooperate with him!" Cao Cao continued to ask, as to what the man in front of him thought, he kept wondering.

"All the troops of the Kingdom of Yan, except for the opening of the frontier army, all the troops that can be assembled have come here, so they must be extremely weak, and at this time, we have a lot of room for operation!" With a confident expression on his face, Zhong Yu stated his goal plan.

"So, does your majesty intend to seize the opportunity to occupy all parts of the country, or do you want to take some of the population and materials and withdraw immediately?" Cao Cao understood the emperor's intentions, but didn't know how much he was interested in.

"Of course it’s the captive population. With our current strength, it is impossible to conquer the country of Yan without an army of more than 100,000. Sending troops to attack all parts of the country of Yan, is garrisoning and suppressing, and it may happen. Rebellion will inevitably cost my army of nearly 100,000.

Then there are the frontier army in the north and south of Yan Kingdom. He also has 100,000 people. If he wants to destroy them, he has to lose at least 50,000 to 60,000 people. In addition, he wants to take down this heroic city. He lost 200,000 people, so don't even think about it!

With such calculations, if you want to take over the entire Yan Kingdom, you must be prepared to lose nearly 300,000 people, and more than 100,000 people must be left behind to deal with the prying eyes of other countries. The price that the current Yuguo can pay! "Speaking of this, Zhong Yu sighed, he is not Qin after all.

A few years later, Qin State's whale swallowed the world and mixed with Yiyu's domineering.

When Qin wanted to unify the world, he had an army of millions of them, enough to eat ten years of food and grass, and the whole country worked hard, and easily defeated the two countries of Han and Zhao, and threatened the two countries of Yan and Wei. , Forcing them to cede land and ask for peace.

After digesting the two countries of Han and Zhao, they directly annihilated the State of Wei, forcing the State of Yan to dare not fight at all, and directly cut off Guangyang County, begging for the temporary forgiveness of the State of Qin.

After the incident of Jingke assassinating Qin, Qin only sent 100,000 troops to defeat Yan, which had nearly 200,000 troops, and did not dare to fight Qin at all.

Why is this? Is it because Yan's army is not strong enough? However, they were able to defeat the Hu people and retreat. The reason was that they lacked this spirit. They were afraid of Qin from the ground up, and the nobles and civilians did not dare to fight with Qin, so they perished so quickly. !

The current one's own imperial state, although in terms of strength, is comparable to the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, but to be honest, the strength is only equivalent to the pre-war Yan Kingdom!

Even if they were able to defeat Yan Kingdom, in their eyes, it was nothing more than luck. The element of luck was so heavy that it was not a basis for their surrender.

Besides, it's still a question whether I can destroy the Kingdom of Yan. Yan Guo went up and down, only worrying about how far the strength of Yan Guo would go after this war, but they never thought that he would destroy the country.

Because even if the country of Yan really can't stand it, will the other six countries really sit back and watch this, the country that has been passed down for 800 years, will be destroyed by enemies that have emerged from nowhere in the north? Surely not, it will be just another version of the Battle of Handan.

The three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, and Qi will definitely send out their reinforcements. Even Chu in the south, Qin in the west, and South Korea will send troops and will not sit idly by.

So at that time, how can I be the opponent of the six nations combined?

It is inevitable to retreat steadily, and it is inevitable to spit out the three counties that they have annexed again, and they will even counterattack into their own country and let them start a war of annihilation. This is what Zhong Yusho does not want to see .

So, in this war, he just wanted to take the opportunity to capture the wealthy population of the three counties in the western part of Yan Kingdom.

After all, although Yuguo said that the population is relatively large, plus the two counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Youbeiping now occupied, there are more than 5 million for him.

However, they are still very scarce distributed in their own vast land. It can be said that the land is vast and sparsely populated.

I now occupy the three eastern counties of the country of Yan~IndoMTL.com~ These three counties are equivalent to one of their own states. Modern China originally belonged to a province, and I plan to divide it into administrative regions of a state.

Only now, more than 700,000 people are naturally not enough, and it is necessary to fill in millions of people in order to reluctantly rule and develop such a vast area.

Where did the 300,000 people come from? Is it your own royal country? Of course it is impossible.

In my current imperial state, there is still a fairly large area, that is, the grassland part of the former Donghu people, which has not been effectively governed and ruled, and is in a state of desolation.

Here wants to be completely filled, and controlled, not to let him go to other grassland tribes, naturally he needs to fill in the endless population of his own country.

This part of the grassland is quite large. Its territory is now China's Inner Mongolia Province, which is divided into the north of China's Hebei Province. The entire northern half of the province is the grassland boundary of the Donghu people.

This is a place equivalent to two provinces. If you want to fill it, even the grasslands are all grass and they are not good at farming. Millions of people are required to barely control it and establish a foundation for administrative rule.

This plan is already underway by Zhong Yu. If it succeeds, then he will have one more state, Montgomery.

So with the population of 300,000, it is impossible to count on the native resources of his imperial country, so they can only plunder enough population in the current place of Yan Kingdom and migrate to the three eastern counties.

And Yan Guo, after his own toss, the population has been greatly reduced, and the territory has lost half of it. The strength may be only half of the original strength or even less, and it will be reduced to a kingdom that is as misnamed as South Korea.

No longer in the name of a male country. When he regains his strength and digests the current population of the site, he is just a problem with one fell swoop.
