Liu Ji didn't know that his 'marksmanship' had improved so fast recently, and he had made the four deputy palace masters and twelve personal disciples of the Guanghan Palace bigger, making these sixteen stunning beauties have no choice but to flee from the Guanghan Palace first and go to Ji'an County in Qianzhou, the Great Jin Dynasty, to defect to Liu Ji, and also brought Liu Ji a big surprise.

Just as the women of the Guanghan Palace left by boat, Liu Ji took two cavalry brigades and thirty infantry brigades of the Guards Legion, four cavalry brigades and seven infantry brigades of the local legion, the first infantry brigade of the Western Regions Legion and the first cavalry brigade of the Grassland Legion, and 200,000 auxiliary soldiers who escorted grain and grass, and joined the other four cavalry brigades that came after the grassland army arrived in Pingxi City, the capital of the Western Regions Protectorate.

Subsequently, Liu Ji did not delay too much time in Pingxi City, and continued to advance westward with a total strength of more than two million reinforcements, preparing to rush to Huhesa Province of the former Gaochang State, which had been captured by the Western Regions Army, and join forces with the main force of the Western Regions Army.

On May 13, 428 of the Great Jin Dynasty, Liu Ji and his army finally arrived at Cilisi City, the capital of Huhesa Province, at this time the Western Regions Legion had ten cavalry brigades and eight infantry brigades, all gathered inside and outside the city of Cilis, and Lian Po, the commander of the Western Regions Legion, was also in Cilisi City.

On the afternoon of May 13, in a council chamber in the City Lord's Mansion of Gilis City, Liu Ji and many generals of several legions gathered here, and several top ministers who came with Liu Ji this time were also in this council hall at this moment.

This time, there were eight top ministers who followed Liu Ji to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, namely Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling, Fan Zeng, Li Ru, Chen Gong, Xun Yu and Xun You, in order to prevent the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate from being invaded by various nomads on the grassland, Liu Ji sent Du Ruhui, Yao Chong and Zhang Shuo, the three top scholars, to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate to assist Su Lie, the commander of the Grassland Legion.

Liu Ji divided the grassland of more than 2.5 million square kilometers of Beiting Duhufu into Qizhou, Qingzhou, Mizhou, Yizhou and Dengzhou, and now these five states are each building a city to serve as the seat of the state capital of the five states, but the five cities have not yet been completed.

Once a Hulu invades the Beiting Protectorate at this time, the Breaker Army is equivalent to having no danger to defend and can only meet the enemy on the vast grassland, so even if the Western Regions Protectorate faces a five-million coalition army dominated by the four major powers of the Western Regions, Liu Ji still maintains a strength of fifteen cavalry brigades and five infantry brigades in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate to deter the nomads around the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate.

Liu Ji left only Xiao He and Fang Xiaoru, two top civil servants, to assist Le Yi, the commander of the local army, to guard the four counties of Ju'an County and Yongjing County.

In the conference hall, Liu Ji said to Lian Po with a smile: "In just a few days, your Western Regions Army has pocketed the remaining three provinces of the original Eastern Governor's Mansion of Gaochang Kingdom, and also annihilated almost 450,000 troops of Gaochang Kingdom, which can be said to have made a good start for our army!" ”

Liu Ji's words made many generals of the Western Regions Legion can't help but show a smile on their faces, the Western Regions Legion did a very beautiful job this time.

Immediately, Liu Ji asked Lian Po: "What is the current movement of the Western Regions Alliance?" ”

Lian Po immediately said: "Tell the lord, according to the information that Heishuitai has just sent back, the three cavalry legions, six infantry legions, 180,000 auxiliary troops and 300,000 vassal troops of Dawan Kingdom entered the Orun Province of Gaochang Kingdom yesterday afternoon, so that Dawan Kingdom has gathered six cavalry legions, twelve infantry legions, 500,000 auxiliary troops and 300,000 vassal troops in Orun Province. ”

After a pause, Lian Po continued: "The ten legions of the Cheshi Country, as well as the 300,000 troops of the subject countries of the Cheshi Country, totaling 1.2 million people, have all entered the Orun Province, and the current number of troops of the Gaochang Kingdom in the Orun Province is about 600,000 troops, but the 400,000 of them are all young and strong people who have just been recruited, and their combat effectiveness should not be strong. ”

Liu Ji then asked, "What about the army of the Rest Country?" Haven't the armies of the Sabbath entered the province of Oren yet? ”

Lian Po replied: "My lord, this time the Anxi Legion has sent a total of five legions, and now these five Anxi legions have also entered the territory of Gaochang Kingdom, but it will take about four or five days to reach the Oren Province. ”

Liu Ji touched his chin and said: "In this way, in the Olun Province, the Dawan Kingdom has gathered 2.3 million people, the Cheshi Kingdom has gathered 1.2 million people, plus the 600,000 people in the Gaochang Kingdom, and the 500,000 people who are about to arrive in the Sabbath Country, the number of enemies we need to face this time should be 4.6 million." ”

Lian Po nodded and said: "If the four major powers of the Western Regions continue to increase their troops, we may face more enemies, and according to the intelligence of Heishuitai, the Western Regions Alliance does not seem to have the intention of counterattacking Shakhtinsk Province, Huhesa Province and Lisakos Province recently." ”

At this time, Zhang Liang said with a smile: "General Lian fought too hard this time, probably scared the commanders of the armies of the Western Regions, and now the Western Regions Alliance Army should hope that our Broken Army can continue to take the initiative to attack Orun Province, and then the Western Regions Coalition Army can rely on the advantage of defending the city and the advantage of troops to consume the strength of our Broken Army little by little." ”

Liu Ji immediately turned his head to Zhang Liang and asked, "In your opinion, do we choose to attack or defend next?" ”

Zhang Liang said: "My lord, this time the Western Regions Army has captured a large amount of grain and grass in Shakhtinsk Province, Huhesa Province and Lisakos Province, which should be prepared by Gaochang State for the entire Western Regions Coalition Army. ”

Lian Po interjected: "The grain and grass seized in these three provinces is indeed enough, and the capture of Huhesa Province alone is enough for five million people to eat for three months, and now these grains and grass are just cheaper for our captive army." ”

Zhang Liang continued: "Dawan Kingdom, Cheshi Country and Anxi Country are too far away from Olun Province, so the grain and grass of the Western Regions Alliance Army must be supplied by Gaochang State, and according to Heishuitai's intelligence, only King Mujshid's army joined the Western Regions Alliance Army in Gaochang Kingdom this time, and the other three governors of Gaochang Kingdom are still waiting and watching, and they have no intention of sending troops to join the Western Regions Alliance. ”

Liu Ji clapped his hands and said: "Now that the Western Regions Legion has robbed the grain and grass that the king of Gaochang Mujshid had hoarded in Shakhtinsk Province, Huhesa Province and Lisakos Province before, then it will not be easy for King Mujhid of Gaochang Kingdom to mobilize so much grain and grass in Orun Province!" ”

"So my subordinates suggest that it is better to wait for the rest and wait for the Western Regions Alliance Army that is short of food to take the initiative to attack, so that our captive army can occupy the advantage of defending the city!" Zhang Liang suggested to Liu Ji.

Next, Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling and other seven top ministers also agreed with Zhang Liang's plan, anyway, the Western Regions Army seized a large amount of grain and grass in Shakhtinsk Province, Huhesa Province and Lisakos Province, which was enough to break the captives and confront the Western Regions Alliance Army.

In addition, Jia Xu and others suggested that several cavalry units could be sent deep into the desert west of the province of Oren to attack the supply lines of the Western Regions coalition army.

Now most of the broken army under Liu Ji is gathered in Huhesa Province, and Shakhtinsk Province currently has only four infantry brigades of the Western Regions Legion, and the territory of Lisakos Province is also guarded by only four infantry brigades of the Western Regions Army, and the cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Army are all transferred to Huhesa Province.

In order to strengthen the defense forces of Shakhtinsk Province and Lisakos Province, after discussion between Liu Ji and his subordinate generals, it was decided to send four additional infantry brigades of the Guards Corps to Shakhtinsk Province and Lisakos Province, so that the number of troops in the two provinces could reach eight infantry brigades, and the main force of the Broken Army would continue to gather in Huhesa Province.

After discussing with the generals under his command, after Liu Ji returned to a bedroom in the city lord's mansion, he asked Gao Chong, the commander of the First Cavalry Brigade of the Western Regions Legion, to find him, and then handed over a marrow washing pill to Gao Chong, which Liu Ji specially kept for Gao Chong.

After Gao Zhong took the marrow washing pill, he did not live up to Liu Ji's heart, and his force value soared from 98 points to 101 points, and he entered the ranks of peerless generals.

To Liu Ji's surprise, Gao Zhong took the marrow washing pill and became a peerless general, and the system also rewarded Liu Ji with a top Wenchen Wu Zixu.

Wu Zixu, force value 43, intelligence value 92, commander value 81, late Spring and Autumn period Wu State doctor, Wu Zixu's father Wu Hao for the prince of Chuping built the Taifu, because of Fei Wuji's slander, and his eldest son Wu Shang was killed by King Chuping, Wu Zixu fled from Chu to Wu, became the king of Wu, Wu Zixu and Sun Wu led the army to attack the Chu capital, Wu Zixu dug the tomb of King Chuping, whipped the corpse of three hundred, in order to avenge the revenge of his father and brother, Wu relied on the strategy of Wu Zixu and others, broke the strong Chu in the west, defeated Xu, Lu and Qi in the north, and became a hegemon of the princes.

Wu Zixu has repeatedly advised Wu Wangfu to kill Gou Jian, but unfortunately the husband did not listen, the husband was anxious to enter the Central Plains, led the army to attack Qi, Wu Zixu again advised the husband to temporarily not attack Qi and destroy Yue first, but still refused, the husband listened to Dazai's slander, saying that Wu Zixu conspired to rely on the Qi State to oppose Wu, and sent someone to send a sword to Wu Zixu, so that he committed suicide, Wu Zixu said to the doorman before committing suicide: "Please gouge out my eyes and put them on the east gate, I want to watch the destruction of Wu State." "Nine years after Wu Zixu's death, the state of Wu was destroyed by the sneak attack of the Yue Kingdom.

Originally, Liu Ji thought that now he couldn't even summon a third-rate general, so if there were top generals who were promoted to peerless generals before, there should be no top Wenchen rewarded, but he didn't expect that this reward was not affected.

Just as Liu Ji was discussing with his subordinates, in a meeting room in the city lord's mansion of Teboka City, the capital of Gaochang Province, Duke Fawaz, the commander of the Dawan Kingdom, asked Yunus, the commander of the Gaochang Kingdom, in a deep voice: "Count Yunus, there is an urgent problem that needs to be solved by your Gaochang Kingdom, and the two million people of our Dawan Kingdom and its vassal countries only have about six days of grain and grass left on average, according to the agreement when our four countries formed an alliance, the grain and grass of our Dawan army should be supplied by your Gaochang Kingdom." ”

Immediately afterwards, the commander of the Cheshi Country, Marquis Feida, also said urgently: "Count Yunus, the grain and grass of the ten legions of our Cheshi Country and the 300,000 troops of the vassal countries, the rest is less, on average, it is enough for four days at most, and some legions will run out of food tomorrow, when will your Gaochang Kingdom deliver grain and grass to the army of our Cheshi Country?" ”

Some of the legions of the Dawan Kingdom and the Cheshi Kingdom were scattered to various cities in the province of Oren, and not all of them were concentrated in the capital city of Teboca.

Yunus, the commander of the Gaochang Army, said in a deep voice: "I have sent people to collect a batch of grain in various towns in the territory of Oren Province, but this batch of grain is not much, it is only enough for our entire coalition army to eat for three days, plus the batch of grain just sent by His Majesty the King of Gaochang Kingdom, as well as the remaining grain of each army, the food of our coalition army should be enough to eat for about twelve days!" ”

"What! You're kidding you with enough food for twelve days, Count Yunus! Hurry up and let your majesty the king of Gaochang send someone to transport grain to the province of Olun! Marquis Feida, the commander of the Cheshi Kingdom, shouted loudly.

Os, the bishop of the Eastern Diocese of the Holy Fire Sect, listened to Yunus's words, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

Yunus, the commander of the Gaochang Army, smiled bitterly and said: "Duke of Fawaz, Marquis of Feida, and Bishop of Os, for this holy war, our Gaochang Kingdom has concentrated a large amount of grain and grass in Shakhtinsk Province, Huhesa Province and Lisakos Province in advance, but I never expected that these three provinces were easily captured by the Broken Army, so that a large amount of grain and grass prepared by our Gaochang Kingdom before fell into the hands of the Broken Army, a lot of grain has been burned, and there is not much grain in our Gaochang country. ”

Duke Fawaz, the commander of the Dawan Kingdom, shook his head at this time and said: "But if there is no food and grass, our army of the Dawan Kingdom can only retreat, and there is no way for the soldiers to go to the battlefield hungry!" ”

Yunus, the commander of the Gaochang Kingdom, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty the King asked me to assure you that you will definitely send at least half a month's worth of grain and grass to our coalition army within seven days, and His Majesty the King has already asked for help from the Dawan Kingdom, the Cheshi Country and the Sabbath Country, and the problem of insufficient food and grass should be alleviated soon." ”

At this time, the Bishop of the Eastern Diocese of the Holy Fire Sect, Os, said: "Our Holy Fire Sect will also raise a batch of grain and grass to arrive in the province of Oron as soon as possible, and since the holy war has been launched, we must achieve the final victory." ”

Duke Fawaz, the commander of the Dawan Kingdom, pondered for a moment and said: "I hope that the grain and grass problem can be solved as soon as possible, this holy war with the Broken Army will be a war of millions of people, and the time may drag on for a long time, maybe a few months or even a year, and the winner will not be distinguished, since Gaochang Country cannot bear the grain and grass of the entire coalition army alone, then the four countries had better negotiate this matter again, and do not affect the battle of our entire coalition army against the Broken Army because of the problem of grain and grass." ”
