I would imagine there were a lot of “fight for us or we’ll kill you and your entire bloodline” moments. Kind of like that scene in ‘300’ where Xerxes offers Leonidas to be warlord of Greece if he surrendered. If any of these territories did surrender and choose to fight for their new leader, then you basically inherited a new army, and would probably only have to leave a few behind to fight off any dissidents.
