Chapter 110: The Princes of the World

Yuan Shao's condition is also quite miserable, according to the normal historical development, Yuan Shao at this time is in the rising period of his career, not only leveled Han Fu, but also repelled Gongsun Zhan, and embarked on the road of unifying Hebei.

However, Yuan Shao, who was in the flames, was still trapped in Bohai County and could not move for the time being.

Han Fu tightened the blockade of Yuan Shao, and the blockade for three consecutive years made Yuan Shao's life very difficult. The land of a county in the Bohai Sea, which raised Yuan Shao's millions of troops, had long been overwhelmed, and if Yuan Shao hadn't been providing money to replenish it, it would have collapsed financially.

However, Yuan Shao's life is not good, which does not mean that Han Fu is comfortable.

On the one hand, he needs to guard against Lu Bu in the west, and on the other hand, he has to worry about Shang Ji's sudden madness, and the internal Lu Yi also seems to have a heart of disobedience, and Han Fu is also exhausted.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Gongsun Chan did not dominate Youzhou as he did in history, and there is no need to consider the pressure from the north for the time being.

Speaking of Han Fu, we have to mention Liu Bei.

In the whole world, there are only two princes who have not waged large-scale wars with foreign countries, one is Shang Ji, and the other is Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei ended the battle against Dong, he led his troops back to Taishan County, and according to the secret alliance of Kwaicheng signed before and the deal between Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the later period, the two counties of Jibei and Lu in Yanzhou were temporarily handed over to Liu Bei in exchange for Liu Bei's strong support for Cao Cao's control of Luoyang.

That is to say, up to now, Liu Bei has only three counties under his name: Taishan, Jibeiguo, and Luguo.

In the past three years, Liu Bei vigorously digested and absorbed the gains from the battle against Dong on the one hand, and on the other hand, he made every effort to train the army. Liu Bei seemed to be stimulated by Shang Ji, and also began to take the route of streamlining the government.

The land of the three counties under his command only maintained an army of 1.2 million, which can be said to be the smallest number of troops among the princes today.

However, Shang Ji did not dare to underestimate Liu Bei at all.

According to the news transmitted by Qianhuan, among Liu Bei's 1.2 million army, there are about 400,000 county soldiers similar in nature to the Shang army, whose main function is to maintain social order, and the remaining 800,000 are the main combat army.

According to the preliminary judgment, the 800,000 main army can be compared with the 24 combat legions of the Shang Ji Army on average, and the combat effectiveness of some core troops even exceeds that of ordinary combat corps, which is enough to compete with the first few combat corps.

In addition, following the example of Shang Ji's Praetorian Guard system, Liu Bei also established his own personal guard army, with only more than 30,000 people in the whole army, but more than one-third of them were ninth-order soldiers, and their average combat effectiveness was not inferior to Shang Ji's Praetorian Guard Legion.

Of course, there is still a qualitative gap between the two sides in terms of overall combat effectiveness.

Because Jiaozhou has no competitors, Shixie has completed the feat of unifying Jiaozhou. After giving Diao Chan a generous gift, Diao Chan Shun booklet named him Jiaozhou Pastor.

It's just that the gold content of this Jiaozhou pastor is significantly lower than that of several other state pastors, and Liu Xuan, who was beaten by Yuan Shu, is also stronger than Shixie.

In addition, Shi Xie is not restless, and the pressure he bears is no less than that of the mainland princes!

Yan Huang, who has been silent for a long time, has finally made a move!

As soon as Yan Huang made a move, he broke the earth, and pacified the counties of Yongchang, Zang Ke, Yizhou (Yizhou County, not Yizhou) and other counties with the momentum of sweeping the fallen leaves, and subdued the Southern Barbarian Rule.

And that's not all, it's the next action that really hits people's heads.

Annan conspired with Bagan to carve up Laos, which was located in the center of the two countries.

Laos was beaten and lost his armor, and retreated all the way to the kingdom of Vientiane, and the country was destroyed overnight.

Forced into desperation, Lao Guo asked his real-life ally Yan Huang for help.

Yan Huang immediately took the opportunity to Lipton, and quickly dispatched troops, and the army was divided into two routes, one way to attack Bagan, and the other way to Vientiane.

The two sides finally fought a big battle in Vientiane, and the Pu'an coalition army was defeated, and Bagan was directly destroyed, and it was directly destroyed under the combined siege of the two armies; At the same time, the remnants of Laos and Yan Huang formed a coalition army to counterattack Annam, all the way like a bamboo, not only quickly recovered all the territory of Laos, but also invaded the territory of Annam in one fell swoop, and the troops pointed directly at Hanoi City.

Immediately afterwards, the advance of the Yan and Huang army approached Hanoi City, scaring the entire Annam, and frantically gathered troops to defend Hanoi City. At the same time, Annan did not forget his diplomatic efforts and sent envoys to negotiate with Yan Huang in an attempt to resolve the crisis through diplomatic efforts.

Yan Huang needed time to digest the gains of this battle, and after consideration, he chose to accept the peace talks.

The final result was the destruction of Bagan, and Annam ceded the land north of Yuechi to Yanhuang, and at the same time compensated Yanhuang for the military expenses of the Yanhuang War of 500 million gold. In return, the Yen and Huang armies withdrew from the city limits of Hanoi, and a peace treaty was signed.

In order to maintain peace in Southeast Asia and prevent Annan from encroaching on friendly neighboring countries again, Yan Huang decided to station 6 million troops in Laos, one-third of which were stationed in Vientiane, the capital of Laos. In order to thank Yan Huang for saving the country, Lao decided to establish an all-round strategic partnership with Yan Huang in the new era, and the military, economic, political, cultural and other aspects fully accepted Yan Huang's guidance, and the relationship between the two sides entered a new stage.

(The above is from the joint statement of Laos and Yan Huang.) )

This move increased the area under Yanhuang's control several times, and the newly expanded territory was more than enough to add two more states. It's just that I don't know for what reason, Yan Huang didn't apply to the imperial court, and Diao Chan naturally wouldn't make his own assertions in many matters, and the new territory existed in a relatively embarrassing situation.

Let's not mention what kind of sensation this move caused in the international community, just talk about the domestic princes.

Yan Huang's big move almost didn't scare Liu Yan to death. Yan Huang died down before, which gave Liu Yan the illusion that Yan Huang was very weak, and he was full of ambition to send troops to fight and unify Yizhou. After seeing Yan Huang's true combat effectiveness, Liu Yan immediately threw this unrealistic fantasy out of the clouds and frantically strengthened the border garrison.

And because of the Liao Kingdom and the northern part of Annan that Yan Huang won, Jiaozhou was surrounded by Yan Huang on three sides, and Shi Xie, the newly baked Jiaozhou pastor, trembled under Yan Huang's deterrence, and was frightened all day long, for fear that Yan Huang would destroy him one day if he saw that he was not pleasing to his eyes.

To be honest, Yan Huang's battle also surprised Shang Ji a little.

Bagan is indeed a weak chicken, but Annan is not. In the competition of comprehensive strength, Annan is estimated to be stronger than the Li dynasty that was wiped out by the Shang Dynasty. Such a country, united with Bagan, and Siam secretly supported by Siam, was even beaten by Yan Huang to pay compensation, and Yan Huang's combat effectiveness was stronger than Shang Ji expected.

However, Yan Huang was too far away from Shang Ji, and there was no possibility of the two sides bordering each other in a short period of time, and Shang Ji was not very concerned about Yan Huang's big expansion in the south.

And according to Shang Ji's assessment, it is estimated that Yan Huang will not be able to free up his hands for a long time after the big expansion.

As a person who has the energy to destroy the country, Shang Ji knows very well how difficult it is to clear the rebels in the occupied area. Shang Ji has a god-killing soul killer gun, which can destroy enemies in the soul, in order to deter the Goryeo rebels, Shang Ji has repeatedly killed more than 5,000 players under the soul killing skill.

Yan Huang does not have the means to completely eliminate the player, and the endless resistance will inevitably consume Yan Huang's energy greatly.

Compared with Yan Huang, Shang Ji is more concerned about Gongsun Zhan, who is close at hand!

As early as three years ago, Shang Ji decided that the next time he went out of the mountain, he would take Gongsun Zhan to open the knife.

Three years have passed, and because of Han Fu's full assistance, Gongsun Chan has never been able to defeat Liu Yu, and the unification of Youzhou is even more far away.

As the internal projects of the merchant were completed one after another, the date of the soldiers he had promised was approaching, and Gongsun Zhan's sense of urgency became more and more intense. Under strong pressure, Gongsun Chan finally made up his mind to break the kettle and was ready to give it a go!
