Chapter 501: Compromise and Land Cutting
Just when Liu Ji was enjoying the many beauties of Gaochang City, in the Huhofuz Province of the Southern Governor of Gaochang Kingdom, and the Namangan Province of the Northern Governorate, the war between the Broken Army and the Gaochang Army still did not subside.
Because the elite troops of the Southern Governorate and the Northern Governorate were gathered in the provinces of Huhofoz and Namangan, the offensive of the Broken Capture Army was blocked by the army of Gaochang State in these two provinces.
According to Liu Ji's order, in order to avoid excessive casualties, the troops of the two broken armies that attacked these two provinces took the initiative to weaken the attack on the cities guarded by the troops of the Gaochang Kingdom, which was also an important reason why the troops of the two broken armies could be blocked in Huhofoz Province and Namangan Province.
On the evening of February 1, 429 of the Great Jin Dynasty, in the Southern Governor's Mansion in Gliot City, Hohofoz Province, Moriktu, the Southern Governor of Gaochang State, said to the commanders of the four main legions under his command: "Since the Broken Army entered the Province of Hohofoz, the Broken Prisoner Army has only captured our two cities, and these two cities have made the Broken Army pay a considerable price, which shows that the tactics adopted by our Southern Governor's Mansion are correct, and it can be said that the Broken Army has been defeated by the army of our Southern Governor's Office, Blocked in the province of Hohofoz. ”
After a pause, the southern governor Moriktu then said in a deep voice: "However, the current situation in our entire Gaochang country is very bad, because of the surrender of Prime Minister Mengtai Suier, the Broken Army took over Gaochang City without a single soldier, and then the entire Gauss Province also quickly fell into the hands of the Broken Army, His Majesty the King has now retreated to Laiyi Province, and the army of the entire Lai Yi Province adds up to only a hundred thousand people, most of them are still recruits, once the Broken Army continues to attack the Lai Province, His Majesty's last place of residence will also be lost." ”
O'Sarli, the commander of the First Legion, sighed and said: "I really didn't expect that the Gauss Province was lost so quickly, there are forty-nine cities in the entire Gauss Province, and although the army in the hands of His Majesty the King is mainly recruits, there are more than two million people in the eighteen legions, and the speed of defeat is too fast." ”
The commander of the Second Legion, Nordko, asked in a deep voice to the Southern Governor Moriktu, "Father, is His Majesty ready to sue for peace with the Broken Army?" ”
The Southern Governor Moriktu nodded slowly and said: "His Majesty really doesn't want to fight, after all, His Majesty the King has not much army left, and His Majesty the King has sent a message to the Governor that he hopes to end the war with the Broken Army." ”
The commander of the Second Legion, Nordko, immediately frowned and said: "At this time, the peace talks with the Broken Army, the Broken Army will definitely open their mouths, and it will not be easy for our King to finally keep the province of Laiyi, and it will be difficult for our Southern Governor's Mansion to be occupied by the Broken Army, and it will be difficult to get back through peace talks." ”
The commander of the Third Legion, Mikileko, said urgently: "Grand Governor, we only have a total of eight provinces in the Southern Governorate, and the Okku Province, Jizzakh Province, Lekodo Province and Mitaki Province must not be ceded to the Broken Army, we must take it back!" ”
Musare, the commander of the Fourth Legion, followed and said: "Grand Governor, what Mikileko said is extremely true, even if we negotiate with the Broken Army, we must get back the four provinces of our Southern Governor's Mansion, otherwise it is impossible for our Southern Governor's Mansion to strike with the Broken Army!" ”
The Southern Governor Moriktu pondered for a moment, and then asked his eldest son, the commander of the Second Legion, Nordko, "Nordko, do you think our Southern Governor will participate in this peace negotiation with the Broken Army?" ”
"Father, it is okay to talk, but it should be the bottom line of our Southern Governorate to get back the provinces of Okku, Jizzak, Lekodo, and Mitarki," Nordko suggested. ”
The province of Hohofoz covers an area of more than 400,000 square kilometers and has 26 cities, and the Southern Governorate has gathered four main legions and seven new legions in the entire province of Hohofoz, plus 600,000 young men urgently conscripted, as well as four new legions sent by King Mujshid and three legions sent by the Western Governorate, as well as 200,000 troops recently recruited from sixteen vassal states, for a total strength of 2.5 million.
At present, only two cities in the province of Hohofoz have been captured by the Broken Army, and the loss of troops is only more than 50,000 people, which also gives the Southern Governor Moriktu a little confidence in his heart.
Listening to the advice of his eldest son Nordko, the Southern Governor Moriktu said categorically: "Just do what Nordko wants, our Southern Governor's Mansion will definitely not easily compromise with the Broken Army!" ”
Like the Southern Governor Moriktu, the Northern Governor of Gaochang Kingdom, Erzhed, after receiving the news that King Mujshid was preparing to start peace talks with the Broken Army, also thought that he could negotiate with the Broken Army, but the Northern Governor's Mansion was occupied by the Broken Army, and the Broken Army had to give up, otherwise the Northern Governor would not strike with the Broken Army.
On the morning of February 6, in a large hall in the palace of Gaochang City, Zhang Liang told Liu Ji: "My lord, the king of Gaochang Mujshid and more than a dozen negotiators sent by the three major prefectures have come to Gaochang City yesterday afternoon, and his subordinates and others have made preliminary contact with them. The provinces of Defatu and Gauss were all ceded to our Breakers, but the negotiators of the Southern and Northern Governors were tougher. ”
Liu Ji yawned and asked, "What kind of moths can be made in the Southern Governor's Mansion and the Northern Governor's Mansion of Gaochang Kingdom?" ”
Until the second half of last night, it took Liu Ji eight days to turn all the beauties of Gaochang Kingdom in the palace into his own women, at this time Liu Ji was a little sleep-deprived and kept yawning.
Zhang Liang then said: "The negotiators of the Southern Governor's Mansion have asked our Breaker Army to return all the Okku Province, Jizzak Province, Lycodo Province and Mitarki Province that captured the Southern Governor's Mansion to the Southern Governor's Office, and the Northern Governor's Office of Gaochang State has also put forward similar conditions, asking our Breaker Army to return all the Ferna Province, Cedagu Province and Mali Province to the Northern Governor's Office. ”
Liu Ji rubbed his eyes, sneered and said: "How can we spit out what we have eaten in our mouths, it seems that we have to give some color to the Southern Governor's Mansion and the Northern Governor's Mansion of Gaochang Kingdom." ”
At this time, in this hall, in addition to Liu Ji and Zhang Liang, there are more than a dozen ministers and hundreds of military generals, as soon as Liu Ji's voice fell, Li Ru said: "The lord is wise, our army has captured the four provinces of the southern capital of Gaochang State, as well as the three provinces of the northern capital of Gaochang country, and we must not let it out, otherwise the Gauss province that has already belonged to us will be surrounded on three sides." ”
To the south of the province of Gauss is the province of Lecodo of the Southern Governorate, and to the north is the province of Mali of the Northern Governorate, and if the Breakers abandon these two provinces, the province of Gauss will be surrounded by the province of Lecodo, the province of Mali, and the province of Lai, which is controlled by King Mujshid.
Liu Ji yawned again and said: "Then let the two troops that have entered the Southern Governor's Mansion Huhofoz Province and the Northern Governor's Mansion Namangan Province strengthen some attacks, and then send some reinforcements to these two troops, don't let the two major governors of the Gaochang Kingdom think that our Broken Army really has no way to take them!" ”
Liu Ji then said to Zhang Liang: "You are responsible for the negotiation with Gao Changguo, and there is a principle that must be adhered to, that is, what has been eaten in the stomach of our Broken Army, our Broken Army will never vomit out!" ”
Zhang Liang immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, my subordinates know what to do!" ”
After receiving Liu Ji's order, the troops of the Broken Army in the Southern Governor Huhofoz Province and the Northern Governor Namangan Province immediately launched a fierce attack on many cities in these two provinces, and the reinforcements sent by Liu Ji also arrived in these two provinces, which soon made the Southern Governor and the Northern Governor of Gaochang State feel the huge pressure.
On the 13th of February, in the Southern Governor's Mansion in Gliot City, Hohofoz Province, the commander of the Second Army of the Southern Governor's Office, Nordko, reported to the Southern Governor Moriktu with a bitter face: "Father, in the past few days when the Broken Army has intensified its attack, we have lost seven cities in the province of Howofoz, and now the main force of the Broken Army is not far from Gliot City. ”
The commander of the First Legion, Oshaerly, then said gloomily: "Grand Duke, the combat effectiveness of the Broken Army is indeed amazing, in the past few days of fighting, the losses of our four main legions alone have exceeded 60,000, and the total loss has exceeded 450,000, if the Broken Army continues to maintain such an attack intensity, not to mention Gliot City, even the entire province of Huhofoz will be difficult to protect!" ”
The commander of the Third Army, Mikileko, and the commander of the Fourth Army, Musare, were also gloomy at this time, and the more than 60,000 people lost by the four main army corps were almost all from their two legions.
The Governor of the South, Moriktu, asked with a gloomy face, "Then what should we do now?" The province of Hohofoz is the foundation of our Southern Governorship, and it must not fall into the hands of the Broken Army, otherwise our Southern Governor's Mansion will exist in name only! ”
The commander of the Second Legion, Nordko, hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, it's better to compromise with the Broken Army!" Let's keep the province of Huhofoz first, and as for the provinces of Okku, Jizzak, Lecodo, and Mitarki, they can only be ceded to the Broken Army for the time being, and then plan to take them back later! ”
Nordko himself did not think that after ceding these four provinces, he could still take them back from the hands of the Broken Army.
The Southern Governor Moriktu was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and asked, "Nordko, are we really unable to stop the Broken Army?" ”
Nordko said with a wry smile: "Father, according to the current strength of the Broken Army, even if we annex the entire Gaochang Kingdom, it is not impossible, but in that case, the Broken Army will definitely pay a considerable price, it is better to take advantage of the fact that we still have a certain amount of chips in our hands and choose to compromise with the Broken Army, at least we still have the territory of the four provinces in the Southern Governor's Palace, and the most elite Huhofoz Province has not been lost." ”
The Southern Governor Moriktu turned to the other three legion commanders and asked, "What is your three's opinion?" ”
The three corps commanders Oshaerli, Mikilaiko and Musare looked at each other helplessly, and all agreed with Nordko's suggestion, the road breaker army that attacked the province of Hohofoz has shown combat effectiveness in the past few days, and it is no wonder that the captive army was able to defeat the coalition forces of Dawan State, Cheshi Country and Anxi Country before, and the combat effectiveness is indeed too strong.
The Southern Governor Moriktu finally said in a deep voice: "In this case, the Governor can only endure the humiliation and give up the provinces of Okku, Jizzak, Lecodo, and Mitarki, but the Governor will definitely take back these four provinces in the future!" ”
The northern governor of Gaochang State, Erzhede, also chose to compromise with the broken army under the onslaught of the troops of the Broken Army in Namangan Province, after all, Namangan Province is the most elite place of the Northern Governor's Mansion, and if Namangan Province is lost, the Northern Governor's Mansion is not far from the end.
The Western Governor's Mansion of Gaochang State, because of the territory of the provinces directly under the command of King Mujshid and the two major Governors of the South and North, did not suffer from the invasion of the Broken Army, but the army of the Western Governorate was on the battlefield and saw the strong combat effectiveness of the Broken Army, so it was very supportive of Gaochang State's ability to end the war with the Broken Army, anyway, the Western Governor's Mansion did not lose an inch of land.
On the morning of 17 February, Mujshid, the king of Gaochang State, and the negotiators sent to Gaochang City by the three major prefectures finally reached an agreement with the Broken Prisoner Army and signed an armistice agreement between the Gaochang State and the Broken Army.
With this armistice, the Breakers not only annexed seven provinces that originally belonged to King Mujshid, as well as four provinces of the Southern Governorate and three provinces of the Northern Governorate, but also forcibly forced the Southern Governor to cede ten vassal states within its jurisdiction, and forced the Northern Governor to cede six vassal states within its jurisdiction.
There were originally 16 vassal states in the jurisdiction of the Southern Governorate and nine vassal states in the jurisdiction of the Northern Governorate, and when the Raiders invaded the Southern Governor and the Northern Governor, each of the vassal states in the jurisdiction of the two Governors sent troops to participate in the great battle against the Broken Army, and they were loyal to the two Governors.
Unfortunately, in the face of the threat of the Breaker Army to continue the war, these two Governors had to cede all the many vassal states close to the territory of the Breaker Army to the Breaker Army.
