Ran Liang relied on his thunderous methods to set off a surge of enlightenment in Zhizhi City.
According to his plan, it would take two years to integrate the Kangju people near Zhizhi City, and then three years to control the Kangju people in the entire Hezhong area.
Five years was enough for him to use the power of the Kangju people to travel south over the mountains and ridges to seek revenge from Murong's tribe.
However, human calculations are always not as good as heaven's calculations, or in other words, Ran Liang's calculations are not always perfect.
Five years later!
Although Ran Liang has captured most of the land of the Kangju people and has become the king of Kangju in name only.
However, the actual dominance made him feel very helpless.
"Your Majesty, there are new barbarian invasions in the north of Fanxi City. Thousands of residents have been killed and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep have been robbed. Several Kangju lords in Fanxi have said that their vitality has been seriously damaged and they will no longer be able to pay tribute this year."
"Your Majesty, the king of Persia in the southwest sent troops to drive away our herdsmen and robbed cattle, sheep and livestock for no reason. This is the third time this year. Please allow us to send troops to protect us!"
"Your Majesty, the Kangju people in Yue Ni City in the south have rebelled again and have colluded with the Suyi people. More than 20 Kangju tribes, large and small, have already responded. We need to send troops as soon as possible to quell the rebellion."
In Zhizhi City, a serious-looking Ran Liang was listening to the generals and officials reporting on major military and national events.
As Kangju is in a place with four wars, it is like a leaky sieve. All the neighboring countries and tribes may become enemies.
In particular, new conquerors like Ran Liang, who are coming fiercely but have no advantage in numbers, always have to face more severe challenges.
"Year after year, either the east was pacified and the west rebelled, or the north was repulsed, and the south came again."
"If this continues, when will Gu's plan of raising troops and food and going south for revenge be realized?"
Ran Liang's mood became worse and worse as he heard a bunch of border emergencies.
The territory of the Kangju people was too large, and the number of soldiers and horses in his headquarters was too small.
In places far away from Zhizhi City, those Kangju people with heads and rats must be used.
Once strong pressure is not given in time, these Kangju people will often be passive and sabotage, shirking various collections and offerings, or colluding with external forces to cede territory and rebel.
For five years, Ran Liang spent most of his time either fighting the rebellion or on the road to fighting the rebellion.
"Your Majesty, I feel that only after the Kang State is managed properly can we think about going south for revenge. If we rush for success, I'm afraid we will lose both sides."
An official wearing the official uniform of a Han foreign vassal persuaded Ran Liang.
"Sir, don't you think I should seek revenge from Murong Xianbei?" Ran Liang was a little unhappy.
"Your Majesty, I don't have this intention. Of course I have to avenge the country, but if the foundation is not stable, how can I take revenge?"
This official faced Ran Liang without any fear or nervousness.
"In that case, sir, do you have any good advice for me?"
Ran Liang also realized that his attitude just now was inappropriate.
The Han official in front of him was not the generals under Su A'A, who were just rough people who could be scolded casually.
This person was a descendant of a famous noble family in the Central Plains. He came from the Wang family in Taiyuan and was the brother of the Empress of the Han Dynasty.
Because he violated the Han emperor's ban on powerful migration, he was sent to the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
By chance, Ran Liang, who was suffering from a shortage of literary and political talents, wrote to Liu Yu and begged, and all the criminal officials in the Western Regions Protectorate were seconded.
"Your Majesty, now Kang's territory has expanded to five thousand miles, and there are at least a dozen neighboring countries, including many large countries like Persia to the west!"
Although Wang Shu had not been in Zhizhi City for a long time, he quickly figured out the situation Kang Juguo was facing with his agility.
In such a standard place of four battles, if an ordinary person is left alone, he will be easily defeated if he doesn't pay attention.
However, with the tens of thousands of powerful New Han soldiers and horses at his disposal, Ran Liang managed to stumble and control most of the land in just five years.
In Wang Shu's opinion, this is definitely a talent that can be called a king's tyrant.
However, Ran Liang's subsequent strategy went astray.
Faced with the newly attached land and population, Ran Liang did not want to integrate and annex, but eager to gather manpower and material resources to go south to seek revenge from Murong's tribe.
In Wang Shu's opinion, this is absolutely stupid.
"As for Murong Xianbei in the south, it is already different from what it used to be!"
"Murong Xianbei went south to conquer the entire territory of Guishuang, even directly to the Shendu border. It can be said that his troops are strong and his horses are strong. Moreover, the entire Murong family married the powerful people of Guishuang Shendu. It can be said that he gained 70 to 80% of the people's power. It is definitely not just with the help of a few people in the king's hands. An expedition with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses over mountains and ridges can be victorious."
"Not to mention anything else, in the past two years alone, among the treasures that Murong has paid tribute to the Emperor of Luoyang, there have been more and more ivory and other items. Does your Majesty know what this means?"
