The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

The capital city of Yan Kingdom, the bustling city in the north, has been completely depressed at this time, and all the middle-aged men in the city were recruited by their king to go to the battlefield.

Jicheng, where only a few old and weak women and children are left, can't support the prosperity of this huge city, and they don't have the mood to go there. Their husbands, sons, fathers and brothers are all on the battlefield, so how can they have the mood to do this?

Inside and outside the city, there are two armies of more than 400,000 people gathered. Under this city, they will wage a war that is destined to affect the entire world.

Your Majesty, do we really want to fight this siege battle with Yan? The treacherous and cunning Cao Cao, as a very important commander of the 300,000 army, naturally didn't want his army to die in vain. wasted in this senseless siege.

Of course not, I just hope to gather the army of Yan Kingdom here, and then surround them and contain them, so that they cannot be dispatched. Zhong Yu naturally knew the questions of many generals under his command.

Then Your Majesty has achieved his goal. Do you have any other preparations at this moment? Can you inform your ministers of the plan so that you can cooperate with Your Majesty! Cao Cao continued to ask, and he had been guessing what the man in front of him was thinking.

All the troops of the Yan Kingdom, except for the frontier troops that have not been mobilized, all the troops that can be summoned from all over the country have already arrived here, so they must be extremely weak, and at this time, we have a lot of room for maneuver! With a confident face, Zhong Yu revealed his goal plan.

So that's it. Is His Majesty planning to seize the opportunity to occupy various places, or is he going to plunder some people and supplies, and withdraw immediately? Cao Cao understood His Majesty's intentions, but he didn't know how serious he was.

Of course it is to plunder the population. With the current strength of our country, it is impossible to conquer the Yan Kingdom without an army of more than 100,000. Sending troops to attack the various parts of the Yan Kingdom, stationing and suppressing possible rebellions is inevitable. It will consume nearly 100,000 of my troops.

Then there are the frontier troops in the north and south of the Yan Kingdom, and there are 100,000 of them. If they want to destroy them, they will lose at least 50,000 to 60,000 of them. People, don't even think about it!

After such a calculation, if you want to win the entire Yan Kingdom, you must be prepared to lose nearly 300,000 people, and leave more than 100,000 people to stay behind to deal with the prying eyes of other countries. Where is the current Yu Kingdom? Able to pay the price! Speaking of this, Zhong Yu sighed, he is not Qin after all.

There is no such domineering arrogance that Qin will swallow up the world a few years later.

I think that when Qin State unified the world, it would have an army of millions, enough to feed the army for ten years. They cede land for peace.

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

After the incident of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, Qin State only sent 100,000 troops, and defeated Yan State, which still had nearly 200,000 troops, and did not dare to fight Qin State at all.

why is that? Could it be that Yan's army is not strong enough? But they were able to defeat the Hu people, and the reason was that they lacked the spirit. They were afraid of Qin from the bottom of their hearts, and the nobles and commoners dared not fight with Qin. That's why they perished so quickly. !

Although the current Yu Kingdom is comparable to the Seven Heroes of the Warring States in terms of strength, to be honest, its strength is only equivalent to the Yan Kingdom before the war!

Even if they were able to defeat Yan State, in their eyes, it was just luck. The element of luck was very heavy, and it was not enough as a basis for their surrender.

And whether he can destroy the Yan Kingdom is still a question. Everyone in the Yan Kingdom was only worried about how far the strength of the entire Yan Kingdom would decline after this war, but they never thought that they would destroy the country at all.

Because even if the country of Yan really can't stand it anymore, will the other six countries really sit back and watch this country, which has been passed down for 800 years, be destroyed by enemies from the north who come out of nowhere? Certainly not, when the time comes, it will just be a replica of another HD battle.

The Three Kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, and Qi will definitely send reinforcements. Even Chu in the south and Qin and South Korea in the west will send troops, and they will not sit idly by.

So at that time, how could I, who was greatly weakened in strength, be an opponent of the combined efforts of the six countries in the world?

It is inevitable to retreat steadily, and it is also inevitable to spit out the three counties that he annexed again, and they will even be counterattacked by them to his own country, and let them start a war of destroying the country. This is what Zhong Yusuo does not want to see.

Therefore, this time he fought this time, he just wanted to take the opportunity to plunder the rich and wealthy population of the three counties in the west of Yan Kingdom.

After all, although Yuguo has a relatively large population, plus the two counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Youbeiping currently occupied, there are about 5 million people.

However, they are still very rare in their vast land, which can be said to be sparsely populated.

Now I have newly occupied the three counties in the east of Yan Kingdom. These three counties are equivalent to a state of my own. The territory of a province in modern China, I plan to divide it into an administrative region of a state.

Only the more than 700,000 people now are naturally not enough. In any case, he must fill in millions of people, so that he can barely rule and develop such a vast place.

Where did the extra 300,000 people come from? Is it your own country? Of course not.

My current Yuguo still has a fairly large territory, which is the grassland part of the Donghu people before. It has not been effectively governed and ruled, and it is in the midst of desertion.

If he wants to be fully populated here, and controlled, so that he is not allowed to take advantage of other grassland tribes, he naturally needs to fill it with the endless population of his own kingdom.

This part of the grassland is quite vast. Its territory is now China's NMG Province, and it is separated from the north of China's HEB 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 if the grassland is vast and full of grass, and you are not good at farming, you will need millions of people to barely control it and establish a foundation for administrative rule.

Zhong Yu is already working on this plan. If it succeeds, he will have one more state, Mengzhou.

Therefore, it is impossible for the population of 300,000 to rely on the local resources of his imperial country, so he can only plunder enough population in the current place of Yan Kingdom and migrate to the three counties in the east.

As for the country of Yan, after all these tosses, the population has been greatly reduced, and half of the territory has been lost. The strength may only be half or even less than the original, and it will be reduced to a kingdom that does not live up to its name like South Korea.

He will never regain the name of Xiongguo. After he regains his strength and digests the current population of the territory, he is just a matter of one fell swoop.
