Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

As a result, most of the territorial expansion that followed was not won through fighting, but was the result of the other party's voluntary surrender.

Countries like the Mongols and Dali surrendered without even fighting.

Such great power of the Great Qian Dynasty is indeed inspiring, but the great achievements have also disappeared with it, and can no longer be seen or touched.

It's really uncomfortable!

Now that Daqian's rule has been completely stabilized and as stable as Mount Tai, it's inevitable that everyone in the Daqian military system is eager to make some moves.

When the policy of recuperation was first promulgated, it was clearly stated that it was only temporary.

Once everything settles down, things will naturally turn from the inside out again.

Isn't now the right time?

Based on this idea, the grassroots level in the military reports to the middle level, the middle level reports to the top level, and the top level conveys the wishes of the lower levels.

The central government has a comprehensive view of the overall situation and has already made plans for the situation, so it is natural for it to proceed with ease.

Then it was Fang Han, the Emperor of Daqian, who made the final decision!

The matter of outward expansion has been completely clarified!

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support ~Fu)

Chapter 619: Preparations in March! Annihilate the Western Regions!

Of course! Overseas expansion is a major national issue!

Although Daqian is a powerful country, it is impossible to act rashly!

As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first.

The preliminary preparatory work must naturally be done first.

After all, once the war is launched against foreign countries, Daqian will not be easily satisfied. It will not withdraw its troops until it has swallowed up all the land in the world!

The land of the Sui Dynasty was Daqian's target, and naturally the countries in the Western Regions that stood in between were also Daqian's target.

Even more distant places may be possible.

To achieve this, to maintain and support such a large-scale expeditionary military operation, logistics really require some effort.

Time soon came to June of the fifth year of Daqian.

In three months, all necessary supplies, including food, fodder, and military equipment, were fully prepared.

The order came from the central government of Daqian.

Raise an army of 200,000! Embark on a foreign expedition!

It took less than a month to wipe out all the countries in the Western Regions!

Here, more time is actually spent on travel, and combat contact is extremely brief.

The countries in the Western Regions claim to be countries, but in fact they are nothing more than small countries in the form of small city-states with sparse populations, with the smallest population only a few thousand or tens of thousands, and the largest population no more than a few hundred thousand. How can such a national strength withstand the huge military force of 997 Daqian?

To say that we resisted would be an exaggeration.

Basically, most of them did not dare to move and surrendered in fear.

There were a very small number of stubborn people who could not understand the situation and were unaware of the mighty power of Daqian. They collapsed at the first touch, or it could be said that they did not even collapse at the first touch. They were like a mantis trying to stop a car or an ant trying to shake a tree. They were crushed in an instant and turned into powder!

The reason why the other side dared to resist was not only because of ignorance and fearlessness, but also because the troops they saw were just a small group of scouts in a vanguard unit of the Daqian army.

Dozens of people directly wiped out the small country's forces that dared to offend the majesty of Daqian.

This situation is not an isolated case.

Later on, scout became a popular military position.

Because it's so easy to make a contribution.

There is no need to wait for the arrival of the army to achieve the feat of destroying a country.

Although this so-called "country" is extremely weak and has a lot of water.

But the key point is, no matter how much water there is, it is enough for them to share the profits!

In the past, it is unknown how long it would take to have the opportunity to achieve such military achievements.

Now that we have the chance, why not hurry up and make a contribution?!

There were many soldiers who had this idea, and the scout troops in the army were even more eager to try it out, and they all wanted to imitate it.

I was afraid that if I was a little slow, I wouldn't even be able to drink the soup.

I don't want to fall behind, because the next time I meet my former colleagues, they will become my immediate superiors.

This trend in the army not only emerged in the scout unit, but also attracted some attention from other units in the army.

After practicing hard for a long time, they finally had a chance to put their skills to use. No one wanted to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a contribution!

but......

This trend eventually dissipated on its own.

The strength of the Daqian soldiers, who have undergone years of tempering, may vary due to their individual talents, but in terms of discipline, they are all elite soldiers who obey orders without exception!

All actions must follow orders!

Naturally, there is no possibility of any trouble.

Everyone remained restrained.

The main reason is that there will be many opportunities to make meritorious deeds in this expedition, so there is no need for them to be too anxious.

After wiping out the countries in the Western Regions, the Daqian army did not stop and began to cross the desert area and expedition to the land of the Sui Dynasty!

At this time, the news of Daqian's foreign military deployment finally spread, shocking the world!

All forces were somewhat caught off guard.

No one would have thought that Daqian would only be stable for about four years before it would rise up again!

And in less than a month, he had wiped out all the countries in the Western Regions!

It’s not that such a record is incredible.

We have heard a lot about the magical wars in the early days of the founding of Daqian, so it is not surprising that all the countries in the Western Regions were conquered in one month.

After all, the countries here are small in power, with low populations, and are scattered and clustered in small city-states. The terrain is unfavorable, and power is loose, making it difficult for them to achieve anything. If it were not for the support of trade routes, even small tribes would not be able to develop. Such a small country, let alone compared with countries like Dali and Jiaozhi, may even be difficult to compare with them all together.

No matter how many countries like this there are, how can they be a match for the Daqian Empire?

To call him an opponent is an exaggeration.

Even Daqian's decision to send troops to attack the countries in the Western Regions was seen by many forces as a sign of lowering its status.

What virtue and ability does this small country in the Western Region have?!

Of course, having said that, the forces of the Western Regions countries are extremely weak compared to Daqian, but after all, they still have many geographical advantages. If a real war breaks out, not to mention the harsh local environment, the long front line alone will put great pressure on logistics.

This is why they were surprised.

No matter how elite the troops are, they still have to consider the terrain and environment, right?

A strong army can naturally win every battle and be invincible, but such terrain and environment are more threatening than the army. Daqian wiped out all the countries in the Western Regions in less than a month. In their view, military victory is not surprising, but overcoming the environment and terrain so easily is really hard to imagine!

Not to mention the huge pressure of logistical supply.

In this regard, one can only sigh at the strength of Daqian's national power and the elite military force.

Among them, many forces with keen political acumen have also noticed the clues.

This battle of Daqian has probably been brewing for a long time. So, will it stop in the Western Regions?

If there is any country around here, I guess it won’t happen.

But beyond the Western Regions, there is a vast desert.

Thinking of this, he secretly felt that it was impossible for Daqian to continue to expand outward.

Because the terrain of the desert is even worse than that of the Western Regions!

At least there are Western Regions countries in the Western Regions, there are people, there are oases, there are city-states, which can allow the army to rest for a while, but what about the desert?

The environment is more than ten times worse!

The temperature difference between day and night is huge, so food and water shortages are inevitable, and there is also the possibility of getting lost.

No matter how elite the Daqian army is, it is impossible for them to go to such a place of death.

No matter how strong a country's national strength is, it is impossible to support such a huge military demand.

Not only will it be extremely wasteful, but you may also return empty-handed, or even... be completely wiped out!

This is extremely unwise!

There is no such possibility!

However......

This is a completely certain conclusion, but the fact is just the opposite.

Everyone was wrong!

Daqian is going to cross the desert! Expedition to the Sui Dynasty!

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 620: The thoughts of all parties in the world! Like a thorn in the side!

At first, all forces in the world were still watching.

Because they didn't know the specific movements of the Daqian army, they could only keep gathering intelligence. When they learned that Daqian had not retreated, but continued to move westward into the desert, all the forces who knew the news were shocked!

It was surprising that the Daqian army actually entered this forbidden place of death.

How could an army of 200,000 survive in such a vast desert?

How great will the pressure on military logistics supply be?

Daqian...why would he make such an unwise move?

Secondly, he also thoroughly understood the purpose of Daqian's military deployment.

The countries in the Western Regions were indeed not its main target.

This journey deep into the desert was certainly not just to seek death. Beyond the desert was the border of the Sui Dynasty and various small countries. A little further north was the territory of Goguryeo.

The intention is already clear.

This is an expedition!

It's really shocking!

All knowledgeable people find it incredible!

After all, such a thing has never happened in all dynasties!

There has never been an expedition here, and there has never been an expedition from the other side either.

The world structure has been formed for many years, with a desert stretching across the middle. Although it cannot be said that it completely isolates the communication between the two places, such terrain and environment are indeed like a natural barrier, allowing the two places to form a situation of almost independence and non-interference with each other!

Even if a powerful empire rises, it will be difficult to affect the situation in another place.

Because it's impossible to get over it.

Sending a large army on an expedition would be futile. At most, there would be caravans, envoys, small-scale trade and exchanges. Apart from that, it would be difficult to have any other contact, unless one took the sea route. However, the risk of taking the sea route for such a long distance is also huge. Without superb navigation technology, large ships that can support deep-sea navigation, and mature ocean routes, taking the sea route is a dead end, and the mortality rate is even higher than that of traveling through the desert!

So far, the world has tacitly agreed that there will be no conflict between the two places.

Such geographical environment is a natural barrier!

actually......

The countries in the Western Regions also have similar situations.

Being far away from the Central Plains and living in a harsh environment, they believed that they would not be annexed by Daqian, which is why they have managed to survive for so many years. If they were closer, they would have surrendered to Daqian like other small countries, and would not have needed to be attacked by the Daqian army to be completely destroyed.
