"million!"
The millions of elite soldiers, all of whom have been at least three years old, are definitely elite.
"Lord, are you going to send troops?"
Zang Ba couldn't help but ask, he was a little disappointed when he didn't become the head coach when he sent troops to Wu County.
"Sending troops? What do Wen Ruo think?"
"The East China Sea Territory is now well-armed, and it's time to expand it."
When Xun Yu heard this, he did not refuse. After all, the East China Sea Territory was not like other princes. It was short of food and soldiers. The East China Sea Territory lacked nothing but territory and population.
"If Wenruo thinks, where should we win?"
Su Fan continued to ask after hearing this. He also had an idea in his heart. After all, the princes in the world were expanding.
They, the East China Sea Territory, can continue to make some moves, firstly to increase his reputation, and secondly to train their troops.
Half of his million-strong army has never actually been on the battlefield. In today's Donghai County and the surrounding area of thousands of miles, bandits and bandits have long been wiped out.
Even wild beasts can only nest in the mountains and rivers.
Donghai County is wealthy and has prosperous business roads, but there are no bandits or bandits.
In recent years, no less than 100,000 bandits and bandits have died in the East China Sea Army.
Any gangster trembles when he hears about Donghai Territory.
But there are still some differences between bandits and real armies.
Although the army in the East China Sea Territory, especially the regular army, may undergo more training in one year than other princes in ten years.
However, having never seen blood, it is still a bit weak after all.
So Su Fan had no objection to letting the new recruits see blood.
"Then why not choose Pengcheng County? There are several families in Pengcheng County who control them, and they often intercept and deduct caravans traveling to and from our East China Sea Territory."
"Those families are close to the Yuan family, why not take them down and give other people in Xuzhou a warning!"
Xun Yu said after being silent for a while.
Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, Su Fan nodded after hearing this.
Two years ago, Tao Qian of Xuzhou had already spoken out that he wanted to entrust Xuzhou to Su Fan. At that time, some people opposed it, especially the Cao family and Chen family in Xiapi.
Of course, the Xiapi Cao family is not Cao Cao's Cao family, but Cao Bao's Cao family, that big idiot.
Of course, Cao Bao is a big idiot, but that doesn't mean that the Cao family is not strong. The Cao family in Xiapi is more influential than Cao Cao's family.
Even Xiapi's influence is still higher than that of the Chen family.
Both major families opposed it, which made Su Fan's decision to move into Xiapi an empty talk. Of course, Su Fan had no intention of going to Xiapi at that time.
The Cao family objected because the Cao family had ambitions for Xiapi and Xuzhou, and they hoped to take over Tao Qian's position.
Although they have no intention of competing for hegemony, if they can control a state, it will greatly promote the development of the family.
At the same time, no matter which princes dominate the Central Plains in the future, they will not be able to ignore the Cao family.
Chen didn't like Su Fan at that time. Although Su Fan showed his hand in trying to challenge Dong Zhong, he was still not favored by Chen.
Su Fan was also unhappy about this at the time, but he couldn't take it into consideration at that time.
It's different now. His strength has taken shape. Yuan Shu and Sun Jian are locked in a life-and-death battle and cannot take care of him at all.
In the Central Plains, there is no force that can resist him now. Cao Cao in Yanzhou has slowly developed in the past two years and has good strength.
They successively occupied the three counties of Chenliu and Dongjun and Jiyin, with more than 300,000 soldiers and horses.
He is considered to be quite a prince.
Although Su Fan captured many counselors and generals who originally belonged to Lao Cao, especially counselors, almost all of Lao Cao's five great counselors were with him.
But Lao Cao is worthy of being that man. Without those advisers, he can still develop.
It can only be said that Lao Cao is indeed powerful. Even among the many emperors in history, Lao Cao's ability is considered to be at the forefront.
Lao Cao was not weak in both internal affairs and military affairs. If he scored a perfect 100, Lao Cao at his peak would be able to reach 90 in both of these two areas.
Double ninety, it can be said that there are very few of the more than 400 emperors in history who can achieve this.
There were many emperors who surpassed Lao Cao in domestic affairs and military affairs. In terms of military affairs, whether it was Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, or Zhu Di, they were definitely no worse than Lao Cao. In fact, they might even be better than Lao Cao.
After all, Lao Cao did not dominate the world until his death.
Perhaps the military ability of Da Zhao is close to that of Lao Cao.
As for internal affairs, Qin Dada and Liu Dada will definitely surpass him.
However, Lao Cao's abilities were balanced and Qin's internal affairs were well managed, but in terms of military affairs, he did not perform much.
After all, Qin almost never led troops in battle. Although he unified the six kingdoms, it was only by famous generals like Wang Jian who defeated him.
You can say that Qin Da has military talents, but if you want to surpass Lao Cao and the others, Su Fan will not recognize it.
But no matter what, Lao Cao's ability is at least among the top twenty among the emperors in the past.
Therefore, even if he does not have those advisers to advise him, he can still develop. If he just wants to be like history, it is impossible.
Now that he has 300,000 soldiers and horses, he may have no problem unifying Yanzhou, but if he wants to expand his army, it will be impossible for him, whether it is Yuzhou or Xuzhou.
Yuzhou Yuan Shu's strength is far superior to him. If he fights hard, it will be difficult for Lao Cao to win.
Just like Sun Jian now, he is gradually at a disadvantage in the battle for Yangzhou.
At this moment, Yuan Shu's winning rate increased infinitely.
Cao Cao may have a stronger family background than Sun Jian, but he is not much stronger. Historically, it is not certain whether he would have been able to break out without Xun Yu.
Moreover, Lao Cao in the early stage was not very powerful in terms of strategy. If it were another hero with great talent and strategy, he would not have done the massacre of the city.
Because of the massacre, Lao Cao's reputation dropped a lot, and it took a lot of effort to conquer Xuzhou.
If he had not massacred the city at that time, then those aristocratic families in Xuzhou might have come to their deaths just like they did in Jingzhou later.
So looking around, there are not many people around Su Fan who can threaten him. Even if several major princes join forces, he doesn't have much scruples.
The fighting between Yuan Shu and Sun Jian in the past two years has consumed a lot of strength.
It is also difficult for both sides to join forces.
So he could also make a move, capture Xuzhou first, and then wait for the final result of Sun Jian and Yuan Shu.
As for Lao Cao, to be honest, the upper limit of Yanzhou is right there. Yanzhou was beaten too hard by the Yellow Turbans.
There is little potential. The entire population of Yanzhou is less than 10 million, only a few million.
How much potential there is.
The upper limit is like that. Even if Lao Cao has the ability to defy the sky, he can't do anything, just like Zhuge Wuhou.
And Su Fan didn't think that Lao Cao could compare to Zhuge Wuhou.
When it comes to perfect talents, Zhuge is the top one. If Zhuge were an emperor, he would definitely be sent to the forefront. There are almost only a few people who can surpass him.
However, even Zhuge couldn't make a comeback with Yizhou, and neither could Lao Cao.
