Chapter 391: Breaking the Army
In the royal palace of Gaochang City, the capital of Gaochang State, Mujshid, the king of Gaochang State, heard Prime Minister Mengtai Suier's analysis of the three prefectures' reluctance to send troops, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a cold light.

"Since the establishment of Gaochangguo, our royal family has always trusted the four governors, but unfortunately, the four governors do not appreciate it at all, in recent years, they have become more and more domineering, and they have less and less put our royal family in their eyes, if it were not for the separation of the four governors from our royal family, so that our Gaochangguo could not concentrate all the forces together, and the Eastern Governor's Mansion would not have been suppressed by Liu Ji's Ju'an army, and it was destroyed by this earthquake." King Mujshid said in a deep voice.
Regarding King Mujshid's complaints, Prime Minister Mengtai Suier nodded again and again on the surface, but in his heart he secretly said, if you Mujshid has been trying to abolish the four governors since he succeeded to the throne and take back all the rights of the entire Gaochang Kingdom into the hands of the king, the four governors will not be more and more wary of you.
King Mujshid hesitated for a moment and then asked Prime Minister Mengtaisir: "In this situation, what does the Prime Minister think this king should do?" ā
Prime Minister Meng Tai Suier said cautiously: "Your Majesty, if the current situation continues to fight, it is likely to get worse and worse, so it is better to ...... It is better to fight with the Jin State into a jade silk. ā
After Prime Minister Mengtai Suier finished speaking, he quickly looked at King Mujshid's face, and then Mengtai Suir breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that King Mujshid already had a plan to negotiate peace in his heart.
King Mujhid sighed and said: "The Eastern Governor's Mansion is the strongest among the four Governors of our Gaochang Kingdom, and as a result, an earthquake destroyed the Eastern Governor's Mansion in one fell swoop. ā
After a pause, King Mujhid continued: "In addition, this king is also worried that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, seeing that Liu Ji's Ji'an army has seized so much land, will not be able to help but stretch his hand into the Western Regions, in that case, the trouble of our Gaochang Kingdom will be even greater." ā
Prime Minister Meng Tai Sui'er nodded and said: "Your Majesty the King is wise, according to the information we got from the Jin State, Liu Ji belongs to a newly rising warlord in the Jin State, but on the surface, Liu Ji is just a Taishou of the Jin State, although the strength of the Jin State has declined a lot over the years, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the emperor of the Jin State must also have a large number of troops in his hands, otherwise where can he deter a warlord like Liu Ji, if the emperor of the Jin State also wants to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, then for our Gaochang State, it will definitely be worse, The minister suggested sending an envoy to negotiate peace with Liu Ji! ā
"Prime Minister, will that Liu Ji agree to negotiate peace?"
"It's man-made, presumably Liu Ji doesn't want to fight to the death with our Gao Changguo!"
"Then the prime minister will make a hard trip and personally go to Liu Ji to talk about peace, and the other people are not at ease."
Hearing that King Mujshid asked him to negotiate with Liu Ji, Prime Minister Meng Taisuier's face changed slightly, but he immediately said respectfully: "The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust, and make peace as much as possible, which is beneficial to our Gaochang Kingdom!" I don't know what the bottom line of His Majesty the King is on the terms of peace? Chen is worried that this time Liu Ji is likely to open his mouth! ā
King Mujshid pondered for a moment and said: "The Shakhtinsk Province, Huhesa Province and Lisakos Province that have been occupied by the king's army must not be let out, the prime minister will try to fight for more territory, and there are still twenty vassal states left in the Eastern Governor's Mansion that have not been captured by the Hawks' army, and the king of these twenty vassal states also hopes to get, and there is absolutely no reparation!" ā
Prime Minister Meng Tai Sui'er nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will try his best to keep more interests." ā
On August 22, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, in the newly built two-story stone building on the site of the former Eastern Governor's Mansion in Talas City, Liu Ji took the holy decree and official seal issued to him by the Great Jin Dynasty, and said to Xiao He and Lian Po and dozens of generals of the Westward Expansion Army with a smile: "In the future, I, Liu Jike, will be the protector of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate. ā
Cavalry Captain Tai Shi Ci said with a happy face: "My lord, if we follow the territory controlled by our Ju'an army in the Western Regions and the grasslands, the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Imperial Protectorate must be equivalent to the area of ten states, and the Lord's Lord, the two prefectures, is much higher than the status of the state pastor." ā
Xiao He said with a smile at this time: "With the appointment of the imperial court, we control the land occupied by the Western Regions and the grassland, which can be regarded as justifiable, and now many places in the Great Jin Dynasty can be described as the people are not living well, as long as we recruit the people of these places and make a large number of immigrants to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate and the Northern Courtyard Imperial Protectorate, then these lands in the Western Regions and the grassland will always belong to our Jin people in the future." ā
Liu Ji nodded and said: "I have long had the idea of recruiting disaster victims from all over the country, but our Jue'an Army has been fighting, and we haven't poured out the time to do this matter, if we can negotiate peace with Gaochang State, then we will take the matter of recruiting people from all over the Great Jin Dynasty to immigrate to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate as the top priority." ā
Then Liu Ji said: "This time, the imperial court not only canonized me as the protector of the two provinces, but also crossed the Zhenyuan general and directly promoted me to the general of the conquest, it just so happens that our tortoise army has been fighting against foreign races, so I decided to change the name of the juan army to the broken army in the future, what do you think?" ā
"Broken Army, good! The name is domineering enough! Lian Po immediately spoke out in agreement, and then Xiao He and dozens of generals of the Westward Expansion Army also said that the name of the Broken Army was very good, so from now on, the Ju'an Army was replaced by the Broken Army.
Liu Ji then said: "I pondered for a while, I am ready to improve the status of the Conquest General's Mansion, and in the future, the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate will be placed under the Conquest General's Mansion, in addition, the establishment of the Ju'an Army was a little insufficient before, I am ready to rearrange the establishment of the Conqueror Army, and I have made a preliminary plan, let's study and study it to see how it goes?" ā
According to Liu Ji's plan, the Broken Army will have three main battle legions, namely the Western Regions Legion, the Grassland Legion and the Native Legion, and the Western Regions Legion was renamed from the Westward Legion.
The commander of the Western Regions Army is still Lianpo, with ten cavalry brigades and twenty infantry brigades, each cavalry brigade has five cavalry battalions, each cavalry battalion has 8,000 cavalry, and each infantry brigade also has five infantry battalions, each infantry battalion is also 8,000 people, so that the total strength of the Western Regions Army will reach 1.2 million.
The commander of the Grassland Legion is still Su Lie, with twenty cavalry brigades and five infantry brigades, and the establishment of each cavalry brigade and infantry brigade is the same as that of the Western Regions Legion, so that the total strength of the Grassland Legion will reach one million.
The commander of the Native Legion, Liu Ji is ready to let Le Yi serve as the commander, and the Native Legion has five cavalry brigades and ten infantry brigades, the same establishment as the other two legions, and the total strength of the Native Legion is 600,000.
Now Liu Ji has captured the eleven provinces of the Eastern Governor's Mansion of Gaochang State, and if there is no accident, Tiemirtao Province will also fall into the hands of Liu Ji, the population of these twelve provinces will exceed 11 million, and the Salma Province alone will exceed 3.6 million, and this is because of an earthquake, which killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Salma Province.
On the grassland side, because of the conquest of the Dangxiang clan, it has also gained a population of more than three million, and if you want to complete the reorganization of the three major legions, there should be no problem in terms of troop resources.
In addition, the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate and the Northern Courtyard Imperial Protectorate, as well as the four counties of Ju'an County and Yongjing County, will also set up a number of garrison camps, and as for how many garrison camps need to be established, it will be decided according to the specific situation.
The total strength of the three main battle legions reached 2.8 million at once, not counting the several garrison battalions that were ready to be established, such a huge strength made the generals present can't help but be full of excitement, only Xiao He hesitated for a moment and said: "Lord, is the strength of the three major army corps too much, so the pressure on our military expenditure is quite large." ā
Liu Ji waved his hand and said: "There are those diamond mines and gem mines in Zhuqi Country, as well as those gold mines in Sarma Province, plus the capture of our previous wars, there is no problem at all to feed the 2.8 million troops of the three main battle legions!" Even if we can negotiate peace with Gaochang this time, there are still many enemies of our Broken Army, and many of them are very strong, and our Broken Army must maintain a large army to deter our enemies! ā
Xiao He calculated the family background of the general's mansion, and did not raise any objections to the 2.8 million troops of the three main battle legions, and the family wealth saved by Liu Ji was indeed rich enough.
This time, in several underground vaults of the former Gaochang Kingdom Eastern Governor's Mansion in Talas City, more than 20 million taels of gold and more than 50 million taels of silver were recovered, and countless other materials were seized, and this was due to the earthquake, when a lot of materials were lost.
Liu Ji also planned to expand his guards battalion into a guards regiment, with a cavalry brigade and an infantry brigade, and each cavalry brigade and infantry brigade also had five battalions, each battalion of 8,000 people, so that the strength of the guards regiment would also reach 80,000, and Liu Ji would also be the commander of the guards corps.
Xiao He will be appointed as the internal history of the General Mansion in charge of money and grain, and Ding Lin, whose intelligence value has climbed to 88 points, will temporarily serve as Xiao He's deputy, but the two of them will also play the role of strategists.
With the addition of Liu Ji's Guards Corps, there are a total of thirty-six cavalry brigades and thirty-six infantry brigades in the entire Broken Army, and the commanders of these seventy-two brigades will be named guerrilla generals, and the commanders of the following battalions will be named partial generals, and the commanders of the three major army corps, Lian Po, Su Lie and Le Yi, will be named Zhenyuan generals.
As for the candidates for the 72 guerrilla generals, Liu Ji still needs to think carefully about them, and Liu Ji also needs to think carefully about the candidates for the 360 partial generals.
Liu Ji said to Xiao He, Lian Po and dozens of generals of the Westward Advance Army: "The reorganization of the three major army corps and the Guards Legion, and even the Western Regions Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, are not something that can be completed in a moment and a half, and the next task of our Broken Army is to continue to expand the results of the war, although the Shakhtinsk Province, Huhesa Province and Lisakos Province of the former Gaochang Eastern Governor's Mansion were occupied by the king of Gaochang State, but there are still twenty vassal states of the original Gaochang Eastern Governor's Palace, Distributed in the north and south of these Gaochang provinces that we occupy, these twenty countries, this general is not ready to let go. ā
When Lian Po heard this, he immediately said: "My lord, among the twenty vassal states of the former Gaochang Kingdom Eastern Governor's Office, the five countries of Langli, Mingci, Jiyuan, Tatar and Chige are the strongest, Langli has about 800,000 people and 50,000 troops, Mingci has about 900,000 people and 50,000 troops, Jiyuan has about 600,000 people and 40,000 troops, and Tatar and Hubei have about 1.2 million people, but the army is only 30,000, and Chige has the largest population. There are about 1.5 million troops, and the army is also the largest, almost 80,000 people, as for the other 15 countries, no country can have more than 10,000 troops, and the total population of the 15 countries is about 2 million. ā
Liu Ji immediately asked Lian Po: "Then can the Westward Advance Army take these twenty vassal states of the former Gaochang Kingdom's Eastern Governor's Mansion?" ā
The area of the five countries of Langli, Mingci, Jiyuan, Tatar and Chige is more than 400,000 square kilometers, and the area of the other 15 countries must be about 100,000 square kilometers.
In fact, there are dozens of independent city-states within the sphere of influence of the former Gaochang Eastern Governor's Office, but these city-states occupy very small oases, and the cities built are not large, so there is no need for the Westward Legion to send troops to occupy them.
"Rest assured, my lord, our westward expansion army will immediately transfer troops to send troops to these twenty vassal states of the former Gaochang Kingdom's Eastern Governor's Office, and strive to pacify these twenty countries within a month." Lian Po said confidently.
Liu Ji said again: "By the way, what is the current situation of those Gaochangguo troops who originally besieged Anxi City?" ā
Lian Po immediately said: "Tell the lord, our westward army has transferred four cavalry battalions and five infantry battalions to deal with those Gaochang troops, I believe that the good news will be transmitted soon, we used the seal of the captured eastern governor of Gaochang to besiege Anxi City, and brought an order to the 90,000 Gaochang troops besieging Anxi City to surrender." ā
"Hehe, this order is good, the 90,000 troops of Gaochang State may not know the news that Haner Apdu, the governor of the East, has been stoned to death."
