We are all waiting, waiting for someone else to save us.

- Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy (one of the most outstanding writers in the history of world literature)

According to Bai Feng's expectations, after the Yanhuang family completely wiped out the Date family and included the Shimono Province of the Date family and the Hitashiyama Province of Higashiyama Province into the scope of rule, the standing army of the Yanhuang family would be expanded to at least 180,000 or more!

Among them, the Yanhuang Standing Army of Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi has been confirmed to be expanded to 60,000 soldiers; if nothing else, the Southern Standing Army, which is full of 15,000 soldiers, and the Quanshan Standing Army, which is full of 10,000 soldiers, will be expanded to 20,000 soldiers.

The Sanada Standing Army, the Kunohe Standing Army, and the Iwashimizu Standing Army, which fought bloody battles with the Uesugi and Date coalition forces on the front line, will be expanded to 40,000 soldiers and become the second largest army of the Yanhuang family.

The commander of the former, Kuhe Yasumin, was one of the five generals of Yan and Huang who Bai Feng trusted very much, and the commander of the latter, Iwashimizu Yoshiyo, although he was also one of the five generals of Yan and Huang, was not trusted by Bai Feng.

If there was no need to consider the impact, Bai Feng would definitely vigorously expand the Standing Army of the Nine Households of the Nine Households of Kangzhen, and expand the Standing Army of the Nine Households of the Iwashimizu Volunteer Sect in a small amount or without expanding the Iwashimizu Volunteer Sect; after all, the loyalty of the Iwashimizu Volunteer Sect was not as high as the loyalty of the Nine Households Kangzhen.

It's a pity that Bai Feng, as the governor of the Yanhuang family, can't do whatever he wants according to his own preferences; no matter what, the Yanqingshui Yijiao is a meritorious minister of the Yanhuang family, and the expansion of the Yanqingshui Standing Army under his command is also the inevitable result of clear rewards and punishments.

To a certain extent, the Jiuhe Yasuzu and Iwashimizu Yijiao, who defected to the Yanhuang family almost at the same time, had a higher credit for the Iwashimizu Yijiao than the Kudo Kangzhen from the beginning, otherwise, Bai Feng would not have allowed the Iwashimizu Yijiao to lead the army to stay in the Bian Shi Imperial Palace.

As for the merits of the combined forces of Uesugi and Date this time, the Iwashimizu Yoshikyo who had been sticking to the Bian Shi Imperial Palace was also more meritorious than the Kunohe Yasujin who later led the army to reinforce the Bian Shi Imperial Palace;

The crux of the matter is that Bai Feng, who has the loyalty attribute of the generals of the Roman city system, can clearly know that the Iwashimizu Yoshiko's loyalty to him is far less firm than that of Kunohe Yasuma, and in terms of ability, Kunohe Yasuma is also stronger than Iwashimizu Yoshiko.

Let the more loyal and capable Yasuma Kunohe, because he did not get the opportunity to play himself, and succumbed to the Iwashimizu Yoshiko, such a sacrifice was something that Bai Feng could not do, so the emotional Hakuho Yasuma could only 'discriminate' Kunohe Yasuma and Iwashimizu Yoshiko.

Sanada Masayuki, who had the greatest military exploits, will have his Sanada Standing Army expanded to 40,000 soldiers, while the Kunohe Yasuma and Iwashimizu Yoshikyo under their command will be expanded to 30,000 soldiers for their military exploits.

Originally, Bai Feng wanted to expand the Standing Army of Kuhe and the Standing Army of Iwashimizu to 20,000 soldiers, but these two armies still made certain sacrifices compared to the two armies that were stationed in place and did not fight the enemy, and it would inevitably seem unfair if they were treated equally.

In addition, after Hakuho brought Shimono and Hitachi under the rule of the Yanhuang family, the armies of the Yanhuang family needed to be stationed in various places, and at that time, the armies of Kunohe Yasuma and Iwashimuizu Yoshikyo were the first choice to be stationed in the newly occupied territory.

Of the six armies of the Yanhuang family, the Standing Army of Yanhuang had the largest number of troops to go to Rome after the war, the Standing Army of the Southern and the Standing Army of Izumiyama, which had the smallest strength, to be stationed in Mutsu Province, and of the remaining three armies, Sanada Masayuki's Sanada Standing Army had another important task.

Once the Yanhuang family completely occupied Shimono and Hitachi, the Hojo family in Higashiyama Province and the Uesugi family in Hokuriku Province would border the Yanhuang family that replaced the Date family.

Whether it is the Hojo clan, whose family has just been hit hard, or the extremely powerful Uesugi Kenshin, they will inevitably have their eyes on the newly rising Yanhuang family, and even the joint attack of several major families against the Yanhuang family may happen again.

If that is the case, it will no longer be the weak Date family and the uncaring Uesugi family who will jointly attack the Yanhuang family, and at that time, it will probably be the Uesugi family who is going all out to attack the Yanhuang family, and the powerful Hojo, Takeda, Tokugawa and other overlord families.

Throughout the history of the Yamato Empire, every newly rising overlord family will inevitably be jointly attacked by several other overlord families after replacing the weakest overlord family;

At that time, not only will the overlord family that failed in the attack take the initiative to build a relationship with the winning new family, but even the emperor in Kyoto will send official recognition to the rising new family, and in this way, a new overlord family will be officially announced.

When Sanada Nobushigeru informed Hakumine of this series of complicated relationships, Hakumine, who understood it, decided to station the Kunohe Standing Army and the Iwashimizu Standing Army, which had been newly expanded after the war, in Shimono and Hitachi, and the Sanada Standing Army to serve as a mobile field force between the two countries.

This means that if the war between several overlord families to jointly attack the Yanhuang family really breaks out, the 40,000 soldiers of Sanada Masayuki's Sanada Standing Army will serve as the vanguard army of the Yanhuang family to take the initiative to meet the first batch of enemy troops that enter the territory of the Yanhuang family.

The main task of the Kunohe Standing Army and the Iwasichim Standing Army, which were stationed in the military towns of Shimono and Hitachi, and the Izumiyama Standing Army and the Southern Standing Army, which were stationed in the north and south of Mutsu Province, was not to attack the enemy, but to defend the castles.

Within a month, the powerful reinforcements of Rome will continue to rush to the Yanhuang family, and under the premise that the Roman fleet has seized the supremacy of the sea, the reinforcements of the Roman city can completely do it and launch a deadly sneak attack on the rear of these families.

The Echigo, Echichu, and Echizen kingdoms of the Uesugi family, the Mikawa, Ene, and Suruga kingdoms of the Tokugawa family, the Izu and Sagami provinces of the Takeda family, and the three kingdoms of Shimoso, Kamiso, and Anbo of the Hojo family, are all coastal countries with extremely long coastlines.

These unguarded and unguarded coastlines are the confidence of Bai Feng to boldly withdraw all the reinforcements to Rome City after the war, because no family in the huge Yamato Empire can win the Roman fleet in Rome City in a naval battle!

The invincible Roman fleet in the Yamato Empire was not only an essential tool for the Roman city to invade the Yamato Empire, but also a guarantee for the invincibility of the Yanhuang family;
