Chapter 451 Expansion

With Fang Guo adopting this negative strategy, the danger of Wei Guo in the east can basically be ruled out. Even if Zhong Yu goes to Wei Guo to fight, it can also dispel the vigilance of the other country.

Because Fang Guo Taizu knew very well in his heart that a territory like Han Wei had long been shown as a meal by the victors of that war and the remaining three empires.

Anyone who wants to take a bite without being strong enough to resist the power of the three empires and the five heavenly immortals is just seeking death early.

Even if the current strength can be greatly increased due to temporary benefits, but when the Three Kingdoms recover, no matter how brilliant they are now, they will not escape a catastrophe.

On the contrary, now Fang Guo's Taizu is shrinking within his own territory and guarding the wild southeast, so the three great empires will definitely not attack him.

Because the southeast region is too poor, the population inside is very small, and the land is also small. In addition, there are strong men who can barely be regarded as eighth-level angels sitting in the town. It is not worthwhile for the three empires to spend a large army to conquer.

To know what happened to Fang Guo, there was also an eighth-rank heavenly immortal sitting in command. Even if the heavenly immortals of the three empires were sure to kill Fang Guo's great ancestor, they would still be injured no matter what. Getting injured for such a small territory was not worth the candle.

Anyway, after annexing the properties left over from the Tang Empire and the other three countries, they had already had enough to eat, and they couldn't see such a poor place as Shang Kingdom at all.

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

In the south of the Wei State, it was the Xu State, an empire that had lost the domestic Taizu and Tianxian in the battle against the Tang Empire.

However, because the State of Xu did not border on the only three remaining empires, the eyes of the three empires did not reach the State of Xu so quickly, and the State of Xu was able to survive.

Xu Guo's national strength is not very strong, weaker than that of Han and Wei. The whole country has only 21 provinces.

And the south of Xu State is the area of ​​the original Tang Dynasty, but now it is being invaded by the Liang State, which survived the Tianxian, and now it is the territory of the Liang State.

Before Zhong Yu became a celestial being, he would never have dared to stretch out his hand here.

Except for Yuguo, the other directions of the Xu and Wei countries have been eaten away by the three empires, leaving no room for expansion.

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

Among them are the remnants of the Tang Dynasty in the south of Korea, and the two countries of Wei and Xu.

After clarifying the strategic goal, Zhong Yu is ready to do it next.

The 5 million army lost some when it attacked South Korea, and 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 located behind Wei Guo, Xu Guo should not think about it until Wei Guo is taken.

That is to say, Zhong Yu only needs to divide the attack direction into two parts, one part is facing the remnant territory of Tang Dynasty in the south of South Korea, and the other part is Wei Guo.

Considering that the strengths of the places in the two directions are similar, there is no distinction between high and low. Therefore, Zhong Yu divided the 4 million army into two groups, each with 2 million troops, and attacked the two theaters respectively.

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

Zhong Yu personally commanded the army of Wei State, and prepared to take down Xu and Wei both countries with his own hands.

The news of the dispatch of the army quickly spread throughout the south, especially in the two areas where the main attack direction was. The warlords who were fighting each other there were horrified, and they couldn't imagine that Yuguo would dare to continue to send troops.

You must know that the annexation between various empires on the mainland is usually done step by step. Only by taking a piece of territory within the scope of their own consumption can they continue to annex a wider area.

Zhong Yu only occupied half of Ming's territory before, and there were not even 20 provinces in total. Now that he has annexed South Korea, his territory has more than doubled, and it has almost reached the digestion limit of a dynasty.

No matter how many there are, not only will not so many officials go to take over the territory, but there will be vacancies in the local garrison troops.

If the royal country wants to establish effective rule in various places, officials and troops are indispensable.

In the absence of these conditions in your own country, if you subdue the surrendered army and surrendered ministers and rely on them to govern the region, there will definitely be great hidden dangers.

Among other things, the problem of loyalty is an extremely difficult problem to solve.

These troops and officials who surrendered have a hatred for Yuguo to destroy the country.

And because of the arrival of Yuguo, these warlord officials who could have been domineering in various places and formed a small force on their own are restrained again and become courtiers whose behavior is restrained. Are they really willing in their hearts?

I'm afraid that even if they temporarily take refuge under the banner of the Imperial Kingdom, they are loyal ministers on the surface, but as long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely make trouble secretly, and even rise up directly to become their own emperors again.

Therefore, Yuguo's wanton expansion of territory is undoubtedly considered unwise by people from all over the world.

Generally speaking, if you want to maintain the stability of an empire, you basically need an army of about one million to be able to suppress various places, and you need 100,000 officials to maintain order. This is the foundation of an empire.

Now that Yuguo has just occupied South Korea, there are only more than 600,000 troops left. They can only barely maintain law and order in various places. A little push from outside can cause a complete collapse.

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

Under such circumstances, it is obviously not a long-term solution. It is possible for South Korea to break away from Yuguo's control at any time, and normal people would not do this.

Now Yu Guo doesn't care about it, and insists on continuing to expand his territory. He doesn't care at all that he doesn't have such a big digestion ability, and just wants to die all at once.

So everyone in the south was shocked.

But they were in shock, but Yuguo's attack would not stop because of the shock of these people.

One year after Yuguo launched the second round of attack, all the vassals of the remnant forces of the Tang Dynasty in southern Korea were wiped out, and Yuguo added another country.

Similarly, not long after, following the destruction of the remnants 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 Yu State.

And just when everyone thought that Yu Guo should stop and digest his gains.

Regardless of the astonishment of the people in the world, Zhong Yu personally led an army of one million to conquer the Xu country, causing everyone to call him a lunatic.

Half a year after dispatching troops, under the circumstances of Zhong Yu's personal action, Xu Guo was destroyed.
