The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 191

[Chapter 189 Yan State Strategy]

The capital of Yan Kingdom, the prosperous city in the north at this time, has been completely depressed, and all the strong men in the city were recruited by their kings to the battlefield.

Jicheng, where only some old and weak women and children are left, how can they support the prosperity of this huge city, and they do not have the mood to go. Their husbands, sons, fathers and brothers have all gone to the battlefield. How can they have the mood to do this?

Inside and outside the city, there are two armies of more than 400,000 people who will be fighting a war destined to affect the entire world under this city.

“Your Majesty, do we really want to fight this siege battle with the State of Yan?” Cao Cao, the cunning and cunning, as a very important commander of the 300,000 army, naturally did not want his army to be in vain. wasted land in this meaningless siege.

“Of course not, I just hope to gather the troops of Yan State here, and then encircle them and contain them, and cannot be dispatched.” Zhong Yu naturally knew the questions of many of his generals.

“Then Your Majesty has achieved his goal. Are there any other preparations at this moment? Can you inform your ministers of the plan so that you can cooperate with His Majesty!” Cao Cao continued to ask, what he was thinking about the man in front of him, he kept guessing.

“All the troops of the Yan country, except for the frontier troops that have not been mobilized, all the troops that can be summoned from various places have come here, so they must be extremely weak, and at this time, we have a great deal of room for manipulation!” The face was confident, Zhong Yu stated his goals and plans.

“So that’s the case, does Your Majesty plan to take the opportunity to occupy all places, or just plunder some population and materials and withdraw immediately?” Cao Cao understood His Majesty the Emperor’s intentions, but he did not know how much he cared.

“Of course, the population has been kidnapped. With the current strength of our country, it is impossible to capture the country of Yan without an army of more than 100,000. It is inevitable to send troops to attack all parts of the country of Yan. It will cost me nearly 100,000 troops.

Then there are the frontier troops in the north and south of the Yan Kingdom, and he also has 100,000 people. If you want to destroy them, you will have to lose at least 50,000 or 60,000 people. In addition, if you want to take this heroic city, you will not lose 20 people of him. People, don’t even think about it!

With such a calculation, if you want to win the whole country of Yan, you must be prepared to lose nearly 300,000 of him, and also set aside more than 100,000 of him to stay behind and deal with the prying eyes of other countries. Where is the current imperial country? A price to pay!

“Speaking of this, Zhong Yu sighed, he is not Qin after all.

A few years later, the Qin State swallowed the whole world and mixed with the domineering arrogance in the world.

Thinking that when Qin unified the world, he had an army of millions, enough for the army to eat for ten years. They ceded the land to make peace.

After digesting the two countries of Han and Zhao, he 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 the temporary forgiveness of the state of Qin.

After the incident of Jingke’s assassination of Qin, the Qin state only sent 100,000 troops, and the Yan state with nearly 200,000 troops was beaten steadily, and they did not dare to fight against the Qin state.

why is that?

Could it be that Yan’s army is not strong enough?

But they were able to defeat the Hu people and retreat. The reason is because they lacked this spirit. They were afraid of Qin from the bottom of their hearts, and the nobles and commoners did not dare to fight against Qin, so the country was destroyed so quickly. !

Although the current Yuguo is comparable in strength to the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period in the world, his strength is really only equivalent to that of the Yan Kingdom before the war!

Even if they were able to defeat the Yan Kingdom, in their eyes, it was only a matter of luck. The element of luck was very heavy, and it was simply not enough to serve as a basis for their surrender.

And whether he can destroy the Yan Kingdom is still a question.

The Yan Kingdom was only worried that after this war, the strength of the entire Yan Kingdom would regress, but they never thought that they would destroy the country.

Because even if the state of Yan really can’t stand it, will the other six countries really sit back and watch this, a country that has been passed down for 800 years, will it be destroyed by the enemy who came out of nowhere in the north?

Certainly not. By then, it will just be a replica of another Battle of Handan.

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

So at that time, how could he, who had lost his strength greatly, be the opponent of the joint efforts of the six countries in the world?

It is inevitable to lose and retreat, and it is also inevitable to spit out the three counties that he has annexed again. They will even be counterattacked into their own country and let them start a war of annihilation. This is what Zhong Yusuo does not want to see.

Therefore, in this war, he just wanted to take the opportunity to rob the wealthy population of the three western counties of the Yan State.

After all, although the Imperial Kingdom has a relatively large population,

In addition to the Liaodong, Liaoxi and Youbeiping counties currently occupied, there are more than 5 million of him.

However, it is still very rare in its own vast land, and it can be said that it is vast and sparsely populated.

Now he has newly occupied the three eastern counties of Yan State, UU reading www.

These three counties of uukanshu.com are equivalent to a state of their own. In modern China, the territory of a province was originally a province, and I intend to divide it into an administrative region of a state.

Only now these 700,000 people are naturally not enough. No matter what, they have to fill in the millions of them, so that they can barely rule and develop such a vast area.

So where did the extra 300,000 people come from?

Your own kingdom?

Of course not.

In his current imperial kingdom, there is still a fairly vast territory, that is, the grassland part of the Donghu people before.

If you want to fill it completely and control it, and not let him go to other grassland tribes, naturally you need to fill in the endless population of your own imperial kingdom.

This grassland part is quite vast. Its territory is now China’s Inner Mongolia Province. It is bounded by the northern part of Hebei Province, China. It is separated by a knife. The entire northern half of the province is the grassland boundary of the Donghu people.

This is the equivalent of two provinces. If you want to fill it, even if the grassland is vast, it is grass, and you are not good at farming. It takes millions of people to control it and establish a foundation for administrative rule.

Zhong Yu is already working on this plan. If it can be successful, then he will add another state, Mengzhou.

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

As for the Yan Kingdom, after some tossing and turning, the population was greatly reduced, and half of the territory was lost.

The strength may only be able to remain half of the original or even less, and it will be reduced to a kingdom like South Korea that does not live up to its name.

No longer in the name of Xiongguo, when he regains his strength and digests the current population of the territory, he is just a problem that falls in one fell swoop.
