Chapter 161: The Situation

"I've only been gone for two months, why are there so many folds here, when will this be approved!"

Looking at the room full of twists and turns, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but have a headache. Don't look at it, it seems good to be an emperor, but there are so many things up and down in a country, and you can be busy to death in a day. What's more, Zhao Yuan's departure has been two months, and things have accumulated over time, and the twists and turns are almost piled up.

"Chen An, during this period of my absence, has there been any major event in Taizheng China?"

"Your Majesty, during the period of His Majesty's retreat, the Taisho Kingdom was relatively stable. Since the last assassination, it seems that the people of the Bihai faction have disappeared since then, and they have never come to my Taizheng Kingdom to ask for trouble, and they have never appeared again! ”

"By the way, after General Yan and General Wu merged together, the battle went very smoothly!" I pulled it from the pile of folds, found a few folds and handed them over, "Your Majesty, the two generals conquered the land of the three counties one after another within a month after His Majesty's retreat, and approached the land of the Dasu Guojing Division, and the two armies fought outside the Dasu Guojing Division, and our army won a great victory, and finally forced the Dasu State to surrender to our country!" ”

"The Great Su Kingdom surrendered, when did it happen?"

"Not so long ago!" Looking at Zhao Yuan excitedly, Chen An said slowly, "Su Ao and the two countries were attacked by the four countries at the same time, constantly losing the city and losing the land, there was no reinforcement inside and no rescue outside, after being beaten to the capital by the two generals, the helpless Great Su State surrendered to my Dazheng Kingdom!" ”

At the same time, soon after, the Da Ao Kingdom submitted to the Great Kang State, and the two countries have since been destroyed. However, during this period, the eastern Dayu State occupied the land of two counties of Dasu State, and the Western Dayin State occupied the land of one county of Daao State. The rest of the land will be divided between our country and Dakang Kingdom! ”

"But ......" glanced at Zhao Yuan carefully, and Chen An whispered: "But now my country almost borders the Great Kang Kingdom in the north, and the southern expeditionary army of the Great Kang Kingdom seems to be a little ready to move!" ”

"Did Da Kangguo do it?"

"This ..... Not really! ”

"General Wu and General Yan are all battlefield generals, and the two armies are attacking so fiercely that even Dakang Guo is startled. What's more, there are still two major powers in the north of Dakang to contain them, how can they sit back and watch Dakang become bigger, and they will do their best to contain Dakangguo. In this way, unless Dakang Guo is desperate and thinks that he can defeat my Dazheng Kingdom in a short time, this battle will not be fought! ”

Putting down the fold in his hand, Zhao Yuan turned to spread out a map and carefully marked it up and down. To be honest, this map is sketchy and nowhere near as sophisticated as later generations, so if you use it as a combat map, you should be waiting to find the wrong way. But at least there are general countries and places on it, and it is also the largest and most detailed map of Taisho Country that includes all the surrounding countries.

"The Great Su State surrendered, and the Great Ao State was occupied by our country with three counties. That is to say, our country now occupies one county and ten counties in the north, plus the previous territory, and now it almost occupies a little more than three counties! ”

Looking at the redrawn map, Zhao Yuan frowned slightly. Judging from the map, it can be said that the current geographical location of Dajeongkook is very good, but it is also very bad!

After occupying Odori Province, Daishi Province and other places, Taisho Kingdom can be regarded as eliminating all the threats in the rear. The east, west, and south sides are all vast mountains, and the newly built Dasu Kingdom on the north side is connected to the Dayu Kingdom, which can be used to expand eastward. However, the Great Jade Kingdom is not strong, so it poses little threat to the Taisho Kingdom, and the east passes through the two countries and is adjacent to the sea.

That is, the main problem of the Taesho Kingdom now is in the north, where the northwestern border borders not only the three kingdoms of Daefeng, Dayon, and Daezen, but also the northeastern border borders the Daekang country at the same time.

But the problem is that the Great Wind, the Great Yin, the Great First Three Kingdoms, and the north also border the Great Kang Kingdom. In the past, when the two countries were there, they were all in alliance with the Five Nations to resist the Great Kang Kingdom and prevent them from going south. But now, don't say to prevent the Dakang Kingdom from going south, the Daao Kingdom surrendered to the Dakang Kingdom, and the Dakang Kingdom army has become an encirclement of the Three Kingdoms from the south and east, and if you don't attack them, you will already burn high incense!

In other words, even the Dazheng Kingdom sent troops to extinguish the Great Wind, and the Great Yin, the Great First Three Kingdoms, and the north all only bordered the Great Kang Kingdom, and the road to the north was firmly blocked by the Great Kang Kingdom. The current Taizheng Kingdom is like the land of Sichuan and Shu, and it is difficult to keep oneself and forge ahead!

The north is like the exit of Taisho Kingdom, and if the exit is blocked, I am afraid that it will only be suffocated in it little by little. Then wait for a stronger country to appear and destroy the Great Kangguo, and then attack it in one fell swoop.

With the current strength of Dazheng Kingdom, it is really difficult to defeat Dakang Kingdom in one fell swoop. Looking at the map, Zhao Yuan frowned. Now the only way out for Taisho Kingdom is to temporarily expand its territory to the east.

The land of the two counties on the eastern coast is one south and one north, the sea in the east, the mountains in the west, and only borders the Dasu State in the north. Although the two counties are not strong, they are victorious. Now that the Great Su Kingdom is occupied by the Taizheng Kingdom, these two counties are the fat meat in the mouth of the Taizheng Kingdom, and you can bite it as long as you move your mouth!

The two coastal counties were heading south, and it was a land of utter chaos, full of lords and small states that occupied a few towns. Although such a large territory further south is the territory of the Southern Regions on the surface, it has been ravaged by barbarians for a long time, and every year when the barbarians lack food and clothing, they will come here to loot.

Because of the barbarians, even if there is a country here, it will soon be destroyed. Most of those who were not destroyed were puppets of the barbarians, who were responsible for handing over most of the country's grain every year, and also paying tribute to beauties and various rare treasures every year in order to survive.

Because of this, there are actually many small countries supported by barbarians. There are also all kinds of lords who occupy a land, as long as they obediently hand in the grain, they can be recognized by the barbarians. There is still some danger in sending troops to rob, and what is better than sitting at home and waiting for food to be delivered to your door!

Most of the lords and countries here only occupy one county, or even half of the county, and the people here can be said to be living in dire straits, not only the barbarians have to pay the grain, but also the taxes of the lords everywhere, and they also suffer from the ravages of the barbarians from time to time, and they are worried every day!

Therefore, it is more appropriate that this land, which is nearly a state further south, is almost called the land of chaos. The people who lived here lived in hardship, the bearded and the horses were in high positions, and the loyal and righteous were slaughtered. There are also quite a few rebel groups, but they are almost vulnerable in front of the barbarian army and masters!

The northern countries are too busy to take care of themselves, and small countries like Datong and Dazheng have little power to protect themselves, and there is only one way to destroy the barbarian army. And those powerful forces are also unwilling to take and protect these places.

After all, the strength of the barbarians in the land of the Sichuan Domain is not weak, and even the ordinary soldiers are stronger because of the difficult environment. These countries are still busy grabbing territory, and it is impossible for them to make enemies with such a big force for some small places that have little connection. As for those places of suffering, as long as the barbarians do not go too far, they will only turn a blind eye!

Even these two counties on the eastern coast were often robbed by barbarians. If it weren't for the strong dynasties in the north that were too fierce for fear of making trouble, the imperial dynasty would send troops in anger, maybe even the Dazheng Kingdom, the Dakang Kingdom and other places would be robbed. Of course, this has happened before. However, there will not be a single time in ten or eight years, and relatively speaking, it is still a lot happier.

Although Zhao Yuan was determined to take the two counties on the eastern coast, he was also afraid that the barbarians would cross the border. Once the barbarians really go north to rob, he doesn't know whether to send troops to fight the barbarians. After all, the strength of the barbarians is too strong, at least not the current Taisho Kingdom can compete with alone!

"Whew!" After taking a deep breath, Zhao Yuan then said to Chen An, "Order General Cao Wei to draw out another part of the troops and horses to go north, so that General Yan and General Wu in the north will also divide a part of their forces at the same time, and they will be led by General Yan, and I will attack the Great Jade Kingdom to the east!" ”

"Attack the Great Jade Country?"

"Not bad!" Looking at the map, Zhao Yuan's hands slowly drew on it, "I want to connect all these places together, and then gather the strength of the whole country to fight against the Great Kangguo!" (To be continued.) )
