With Fang Guo adopting such a negative strategy, Wei Guo's danger in the east can basically be eliminated. Even if Zhong Yu goes to Wei Guo to fight, he can dispel the other country's vigilance.
Because Taizu of Fang State knew very well that territory like Han and Wei had long been eaten by the victors of that war, the remaining three empires.
Anyone who wants to take a bite is just seeking death early if he is not strong enough to resist the combined efforts of the three empires and the five immortals.
Even if the current strength can be greatly increased due to temporary interests, when the Three Kingdoms calm down, no matter how glorious they are now, they will not escape destruction.
On the contrary, now that Fang Guo Taizu is shrinking within his own territory and guarding the barbaric land in the southeast, the three empires will definitely not attack him.
Because the southeastern region is too poor, has a small population, and a small territory. In addition, there are strong men who can barely be regarded as eighth-level immortals. It is not worthwhile for the three empires to spend large armies to conquer.
You need to know what Fang Guo is doing. There is also an eighth-level immortal sitting in charge. Even if the immortals of the three empires are sure to kill Fang Guo's Taizu, they will still be injured no matter what. Injury for such a small territory is not worth the loss.
Anyway, after annexing the Tang Empire and the properties left by the other three kingdoms, they had enough to eat, and they didn't even look down on such a poor place as Fangguo.
Therefore, for Fang Guo today, doing nothing is the safest and most correct strategy.
To the south of the Wei State was an empire, the Xu State, that had lost its Taizu and Tianxian in the battle with the Tang Empire.
However, because the Xu State did not border the three remaining empires, the three empires did not pay attention to the Xu State so quickly, and the Xu State was able to survive.
Xu's national strength is not very strong, weaker than that of South Korea and Wei. There are only 21 provinces in the country. The king is an immortal, and his strength is also in the lower reaches, so he died in this turmoil.
To the south of Xu State is the area of the original Tang Dynasty, but it is now being invaded by the surviving Liang State of Tianxian and is now the territory of Liang State.
Before Zhong Yu became an immortal, he would never dare to reach out here.
In addition to the imperial kingdom, the other directions of Xu and Wei were encroached upon by the three empires, leaving no room for expansion.
In this way, Zhong Yu probably still has three empires' territories left for him to conquer.
Among them are the remaining territories of the Tang Dynasty in the south of South Korea, and the two states of Wei and Xu.
After clarifying the strategic goal, Zhong Yu was ready to take action.
The 5 million-strong army lost some when attacking 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 State is located behind Wei State, Xu State should not think about it for the time being until it captures Wei State.
In other words, Zhong Yu only needs to divide the attack direction into two parts, one part is towards the remaining territory of the Tang Dynasty in the south of South Korea, and the other part is the Wei State.
Considering that the strength of the two directions is almost the same, there is no distinction between superior and inferior. Therefore, Zhong Yu divided the 4 million army into two groups, each with 2 million people, and attacked the two theaters respectively.
Because the south of the Wei State is the Xu State. After capturing the Wei State, there will be another battle to destroy the Xu State, and the task will be heavier.
Zhong Yu personally commanded Wei's army and prepared to take down Xu and Wei with his own hands.
News of the army's dispatch spread quickly throughout the south, especially the two areas that were the main attack directions. The warlords there who were fighting among themselves were shocked, and they could not imagine that Yu Guo would dare to continue sending troops.
You know, usually the annexation between various empires on the continent is usually done step by step. First, they take a piece of territory within their own consumption range, and then they can continue to annex a wider area.
Zhong Yu only occupied half of the Ming Dynasty before, and there were no 20 provinces in total. Now he has annexed South Korea, more than doubling his territory, and has almost reached the digestion limit of a dynasty.
No matter how many there are, not only will there not be that many officials to take over the territory, but there will also be vacancies in the local garrison troops.
If the imperial state wants to establish effective rule in various places, officials and the army are indispensable.
Without these conditions in our own country, if we surrender the surrendered troops and ministers and rely on them to govern the place, it will definitely leave great hidden dangers.
If nothing else, the issue of loyalty is an extremely difficult problem to solve.
These surrendered troops and officials had a hatred for the imperial country to destroy the country.
Moreover, because of the arrival of Yuguo, these warlord officials who could have dominated various places and formed a small force were once again restrained and became ministers whose behavior was restrained. Are they really willing to do so
I'm afraid that even if they temporarily take refuge under the banner of the Yu Kingdom and appear to be loyal ministers on the surface, they will definitely cause trouble secretly if they have the opportunity, or even directly rise up and become their own emperors again.
Therefore, Yuguo's behavior of wantonly expanding its territory is undoubtedly regarded as 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 a million to suppress various places, and 100,000 officials to maintain order. This is the foundation of an empire.
Now that the Royal Kingdom has just occupied South Korea, there are only more than 600,000 troops left. They can barely maintain law and order in various places. A little external push can cause a complete collapse.
Moreover, the officials remaining in various parts of South Korea can only set up a shelf. Many places are short of personnel, and it is difficult to handle local government affairs.
Under this situation, it is obviously not a long-term solution. South Korea can be separated from the control of Yuguo at any time. Normal people would not do this.
Yu Guo is now ignoring it and insisting on continuing to expand his territory. He doesn't care at all that he doesn't have such a big digestion capacity, he just wants to die in one fell swoop.
So everyone in the South was shocked.
However, they were shocked, but Yuguo's attack would not stop because of the shock of these people.
One year after Yuguo launched the second round of attacks, all the princes of the remaining Tang Dynasty forces in southern Korea were wiped out, and Yuguo gained a new territory.
Similarly, not long after, following the destruction of the remaining forces of the Tang Dynasty, the remaining forces of the Wei State were also completely wiped out, and the territory of the Wei State was also annexed by the Yu State.
And just when everyone thought it was time for Yu Guo to stop and digest what they had gained.
Regardless of the shock of the people in the world, Zhong Yu personally led a million-strong army to conquer Xu State, causing everyone to be shocked and call him a madman.
Half a year after the troops were sent out, Xu Guo was destroyed when Zhong Yu personally took action.
