The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 490: Expansion

Under Fang Guo's passive strategy, Wei's danger in the east can be basically eliminated. Even if Zhong Yu goes to Wei to fight, he can also dispel the other country's vigilance.

Because in Fang Guotaizu's heart, it is very clear that places like Han Wei have long been shown as Chinese food by the victors of that war and the remaining three empires.

Anyone who wants to take a bite is not strong enough to resist the forces of the three empires and the five heavenly immortals to fight together, it is just an early death.

Even if the strength can be greatly increased due to temporary benefits, but when the Three Kingdoms is relieved, then how brilliant it is now, it is hard to escape annihilation.

On the contrary, now Fang Guotaizu is shrunk in his own territory, guarding the wild land of the southeast, so the three major empires will definitely not act against him.

Because the southeast region is too poor, the population inside is small, and the site is small, plus the powerhouses who can barely count as the eighth-order immortals are sitting in town, the three empires costing their troops to conquer it is too worthwhile.

To know what Fang is going on, there is also an eighth-order heavenly immortal who sits in town. Even if the heavenly immortals of the three empires are sure to behead Fang Guotaizu, they will be injured no matter what, and being injured for such a bit of territory is not worth the loss.

Anyway, they had eaten enough after annexing the assets left by the Tang Empire and the other three countries, and they couldn't even see the impoverished land of Shang Dynasty.

So for Fang Guo today, doing nothing is the safest and most correct strategy.

In the southern part of the Wei State, it was Xu Guo, an empire that killed the Taizu and Tianxian in the battle against the Tang empire.

However, because the country of Xu does not border the three remaining empires, the eyes of the three empires are not so fast to reach the country of Xu, and the country of Xu can only survive.

Xu Guo's national strength is not very strong, weaker than both Han and Wei. There are only 21 provinces in the whole country. As a god, the monarch's strength belongs to the lower reaches, so he was killed in this turmoil.

And the southern part of Xu Country is the area of ​​the original Tang Dynasty, but it is now being invaded by Liang Country, who is surviving Tianxian, and it is now the land of Liang Country.

Before he became an immortal, Zhong Yu would never dare to reach out here.

In addition to the imperial state, Xu and Wei's other directions have been eroded by the three empires, and there is no room for expansion.

In this way, Zhong Yu probably has three empires left for him to explore.

Among them are the remnants of the Tang Dynasty in southern South Korea, the two states of Wei and Xu.

Clarified the strategic goals, and then Zhong Yu was ready to do it.

The 5 million troops lost some when they attacked South Korea. In addition, South Korea also needed some troops to stay behind, so in the end Zhong Yu could only mobilize about 4 million troops to attack the Three Kingdoms.

Because Xu Guo is behind Wei Guo, Xu Guo will not think about it for the time being before taking Wei Guo.

In other words, Zhong Yu only needs to divide the attacking direction into two parts, one is towards the remnant of the Tang Dynasty in South Korea, and the other is Wei Kingdom.

Thinking that the strengths of the two directions are similar, there is no difference between high and low. Therefore, Zhong Yu divided the 4 million army into two groups, each with two million each, attacking the two theaters respectively.

Because Xu is to the south of the Wei State, after the Wei State is captured, there will be another battle to destroy the Syrian State, and the task is heavier.

Zhong Yu personally commanded Wei's army, preparing to personally take down both Xu and Wei.

The news of the army's dispatch quickly spread throughout the south, especially in the two areas that were the main attack direction. The warlords who were fighting with each other there were aghast, and they didn't think that Yuguo would dare to continue sending troops.

You should know that the annexation of the various empires on the continent is usually step by step. First, take a piece of territory within the scope of its own consumption, and then continue to annex a wider area.

Zhong Yu had only occupied half of Daming’s territory before, and there were no 20 provinces in total. Now it has annexed South Korea, the territory has more than doubled, and it has almost reached the digestive limit of a dynasty.

No matter how many, not only will there not be so many officials coming to receive the site, but there will also be vacancies in the local army stationed.

If the imperial country wants to establish effective rule everywhere, then officials and the army are indispensable.

In the absence of these conditions in one's own country, if you subdue the surrender army and the vassals and rely on them to manage the place, then you will definitely leave a great hidden danger.

Don’t say anything else, just talk about loyalty, which is an extremely difficult problem to solve.

These surrendered troops and officials have a hatred of destroying the country with Yuguo.

Because of the arrival of the imperial kingdom, these warlord officials, who could have been able to dominate in various places and become a small force, were re-constrained and became officials whose behavior was restrained. Are they really reconciled in their hearts?

I am afraid that even if they are temporarily taking refuge under the banner of the imperial kingdom, they are on the surface a loyal minister, but as long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely make trouble in the dark~IndoMTL.com~ even directly rise up and become their own emperor again.

So Yuguo's wanton expansion of territory is undoubtedly regarded as unwise by people from all over the world.

Generally speaking, in order to maintain the stability of an empire, it basically requires a large army of about one million to suppress all regions, and 100,000 officials to maintain order. This is the foundation of an empire.

Now that Yuguo has just occupied South Korea, the army has only left more than 600,000 people. It can only barely maintain law and order in various places, and a little external force can cause a complete collapse.

Moreover, the officials who stayed in various places in South Korea can only set up a shelf. Many places are short of people, and it is very difficult to handle local government affairs.

Under this situation, it is obviously not a long-term solution. It is possible to free Korea from the control of the imperial state at any time, and normal people would not do this.

Yuguo now ignores it and insists on continuing to expand its territory. It doesn't even care that he doesn't have that great digestion ability, so he wants to die all of a sudden.

So everyone in the entire south was shocked.

However, they are shocked, but Yuguo's attack will not stop because of these people's shock.

One year after Yuguo launched the second round of offensive, all the princes of the remnants of the Tang Dynasty in South Korea were wiped out, and Yuguo added a new country.

Similarly, soon after the fall of the remnant forces of the Tang Dynasty, all the remnants of the Wei state were wiped out, and the territory of the Wei state was also annexed by the imperial state.

And just when everyone thought Yuguo was in the footsteps, it was time to stop and digest their own gains.

In spite of the shock of the people of the world, Zhong Yu personally led an army of millions of people to conquer Xu country, making everyone call him a lunatic.

Half a year after dispatching troops, Xu Guomie took action by Zhong Yu himself.
