Chapter 1252: Expansion! Dilate!! Dilate!!!
Counting the part of the Wa State, the total number of combat corps in the Shang Army's plan is 129 (of which 50 are planned to be in the Wa State, and 10 in each of the five states of the Wa State), and 79 are in the mainland.
However, up to now, there are only more than 40 combat corps that have been truly organized and trained locally, and the remaining 30 or so are just a shelf, and have not really formed combat effectiveness.
Now, twenty battle legions were dispatched at once to face the Ottoman Empire, which was thousands of miles away, and nearly half of the military strength of the Hengwu Kingdom on the mainland was withdrawn at once.
However, under this temptation, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce did not choose to raise troops to attack very tacitly.
What is even more puzzling to the people of the world is that when the Shang Dynasty was empty in the country and the soldiers were on an expedition, Sun Cao and Liu also turned their attention to foreign countries.
Yan Huang and Sun Cao Liu Sanjia fully cooperated, Zhou Yu personally led the sailors, under the guidance of Yan Huang's cooperation, the soldiers directly attacked Luzon (the Philippines), all the way like a bamboo, in just three months, successfully captured Manila, the largest city in Luzon!
Cao Cao and Liu Bei united, and with the cooperation of Yan Huang, they took advantage of Honsawady (Burma), which had been occupied by Yan Huang, to enter the Panqi Kingdom (Bengal) westward!
Panqi is weak and the people are poor, where is the opponent of the wolf-like Cao Liu coalition army? Knowing that he was invincible, Pan Qiguo simply and decisively surrendered to the three allied forces of Cao Liu Yan and Yan.
After occupying the country of Panqi, the three coalition forces did not give up, and once again shifted their attention to the body poison (India), marching from Bangladesh to the body poison, which was also overwhelming and invincible!
Sun Cao and Liu Sanjia suddenly convulsed and began to expand externally, of course, not without reason, the mastermind behind the scenes is Yan Huang!
Yan Huang found the three princes in turn and analyzed to them why Shang Ji was so strong.
According to Yan Huang's analysis, there were three turning points for the Shang forces to really take off, namely the destruction of Xianbei, the national war, and the destruction of Lee's Korea.
After the national war, Shang Ji already had a faint trend of the first prince in the country, and the destruction of Lee's Korea, annexing the entire Korean Peninsula, and digesting and absorbing the gains of the war, Shang Ji already had the qualification to dominate the world.
Throughout the growth of the merchants, there was no discomfort accompanied by war, and every time they won a war, their power swelled.
Therefore, according to Yan Huang's assertion, if Sun Cao and Liu want to shorten the gap with Shangji, they must keep fighting and expanding!
After listening to Yan Huang's analysis, the three of them also felt that it made sense. But the problem is that there is no territory to expand in the Huaxia District, and the north will have to fight a decisive battle with the Shang Ji, which the three of them are currently trying to avoid, and the south is divided up by the three of them, is it possible for the three to kill each other?
At this time, Yan Huang proposed a new strategy - going out!
Liberate your mind from the Huaxia District, broaden your horizons, don't always stare at the Huaxia District, the outside world is still very broad. In order to convince the trio of the feasibility of expanding outside the Huaxia region, Yan Huang also showed the trio their gains in Annam, Hungsavady, Siam and other places, and also focused on describing to the trio how weak the countries in these regions were!
The abundant loot immediately made the eyes of Sun Cao and Liu red.
And at the moment, they were in a situation of not changing or dying, and the three of them thought about it for a while and decided to take a gamble.
It just so happened that Shang Ji sent an expedition to the Western Regions at this time, and the pressure faced by the three of them decreased, and they decisively took advantage of this gap to start a foreign campaign.
At the beginning of the expedition, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce and others were still a little apprehensive in their hearts, after all, they were brutally abused by Shang Ji in China, and they were all beaten out of the shadow in their hearts.
Although Yan Huang repeatedly assured that the target country was weak, in the cognition of the three of them, even if it was weak, it would not be weaker than Liu Biao, Liu Yan and others before, right? In case of a misstep in the expeditionary force, the three of them can choose a good day to submit the surrender to Shang Ji after clearing their hands.
In the early days, Zhou Yu passed on the good news to Sun Ce too often, so that Sun Ce once wondered if Zhou Yu's army had been wiped out, and these transmitted battle reports were all to confuse Sun Ce's false information!
When they really understood the true combat effectiveness of the enemy army, there were only two words in the hearts of the three princes to describe -
That's it? That's it?! That's it?!!
Have you ever seen a country with an average rank of less than the fourth rank of the regular army? Have you ever seen a regular army whose average equipment level is still at the level of excellence? The strongest generals in the army have only been seen by human-level troops?
Cao Cao and the others couldn't help but feel a sense of time and space confusion, as if they had returned to the Yellow Turban Rebellion in an instant.
A few months ago, they were hung up and beaten violently by Shang Ji's eighth-order and ninth-order super elites, and now they suddenly began to bully these budding newcomers with an average of less than the fourth order, Cao Cao and the others actually had a sense of absurdity that they couldn't bear to start.
However, as the abundant harvest continued to come from afar, the three of them immediately threw the slightest unbearable trace in their hearts to the sky, and at the same time expanded even more frantically to the surroundings!
The three of them are going crazy, they knew that the people outside were so easy to bully, and they couldn't get along with Shang Ji when their brains were in water.
Although it is immoral to enter the novice village to massacre, he is really cool!
Now the three of them are caught in this sourness and can't extricate themselves!
In order to send troops to conquer Luzon more conveniently and quickly, Sun Ce even did not hesitate to invest in the enemy, took out a huge amount of money from the plunder, and ordered a large number of sea ships from Shangji.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others also ordered a large amount of war materials such as grain, war horses, weapons and armor from Shang Ji, and the lowest price was twice as high as under normal circumstances.
Of course, Shang Ji will not turn away the fat sent to the door, except for some high-tech things related to strategic security, the rest will be given as long as they take the money!
The people of the entire Huaxia District looked at Shang Ji, the last four remaining princes, in amazement. The princes who should theoretically fight for the last ninety-five throne are now like their closest partners, happily carrying out a shocking large-scale military trade.
Countless weapons and equipment flowed out of the Shangji-controlled areas, arming the armies of Sun, Cao and Liu, and the three armies plundered more wealth from Shenyao, Luzon, Johor (Malaysia), and Mud (Brunei).
Sun Ce's fleet even reached as far as Australia, although it was only a small-scale expedition fleet, but the wealth and weakness of Australia (Poseidon and his elite army were all destroyed in Chenzhou, coupled with the complete defeat of the national war, Australia at this time was extremely empty) immediately attracted Sun Ce's attention.
If Australia can be completely occupied, then in the future, even if the merchants attack on a large scale, Yangzhou will not be able to take it, and the whole country can be relocated to Australia. Australia's area is not inferior to China, and it is easy to establish a country here!
Sun Ce is eyeing Australia, while Liu Bei and Cao Cao are eyeing poison, and they have almost the same idea as Sun Ce, for a certain way back in the future.
The entire Huaxia region is like crazy, expanding, expanding, and expanding again at a jaw-dropping speed, and the land area is changing day by day, and the other countries and regions are all trembling, and even the fierce Ottoman expeditionary force has stopped at the gate of the Western Regions, not daring to venture easily.
