The envoy sent by Liu Ji to Ledong City, the capital of Leizhou Prefecture, after meeting Lin Cheng of Leizhou Prefecture, said Liu Ji's request, and was immediately rejected by Mu Lin Cheng of Leizhou Prefecture.

After receiving the reply from Mu Lin Cheng of Leizhou Prefecture, Liu Ji immediately began to mobilize troops and horses, preparing to send troops to directly capture the six cities and six counties controlled by Mu Lin Cheng of Leizhou Prefecture, and bring the entire Leizhou into the sphere of influence of the Broken Army, but a piece of information sent by Heishuitai immediately made Liu Ji cancel the plan to annex the entire Leizhou.

On April 13, 432 of the Great Jin Dynasty, in Gande City, the county capital of Litang County, Leizhou, in a meeting hall of Taishou Mansion, the atmosphere was very solemn, in addition to Liu Ji, there were five top civil ministers, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao, Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, as well as Wang Ben, the commander of the Guards Legion, and Dian Wei, the commander of the Modao soldiers.

Liu Ji said with a gloomy face: "I didn't expect that the Dawan Kingdom would gather the seven strong clans on the grassland this time, as well as the Qingyi clan of the Eastern Barbarians, and prepare to unite to wage war against our captive army, and the Governor of this country must immediately lead his troops back to Shangyuan City." ”

It turned out that the secret agents of Heishuitai arranged in Dawan got a shocking news that Dawan had formed an alliance to crusade against the Broken Army with the Xianbei tribe, the Xiongnu tribe, the Khitan tribe, the Xirong tribe, the Donghu tribe, the Tiele tribe, the Karasuma tribe, and the Qingyi tribe in the 100,000 mountains, and the meeting would be in a month and a half, that is, on June 1, 432 of the Great Jin Dynasty, and at the same time attack the Western Regions Protectorate, the Beiting Protectorate and Huazhou controlled by the Breaker Army.

Guo Jia said solemnly: "According to the intelligence of Heishuitai, this time the Dawan Kingdom will send more than eight million troops, the Xianbei tribe, the Xiongnu tribe, the Khitan tribe, the Xirong tribe, the Donghu tribe, the Tiele tribe, the Karasuma tribe, plus the various affiliated ethnic groups that depend on the seven strong tribes of the grassland, a total of more than 7 million troops will be dispatched, and the Qingyi tribe will also send more than 2 million troops. ”

Liu Ji said in a deep voice: "The Governor of Ben is ready to immediately lead the five cavalry brigades of the Guards Legion, as well as more than 180,000 people of the Modao Soldiers, to return to Shangyuan City as quickly as possible, thanks to Heishuitai getting this information in advance, our Broken Army still has some time to prepare, as for the five counties of Hengzhou, Qinzhou and Leizhou, they will be handed over to the thirty-five infantry brigades of the Guards Corps to guard, Wang Ben, Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao, the three of you stay, militarily Wang Ben is in charge, Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao are in charge of government affairs." ”

Wang Ben then said: "Lord, it's better to bring some more troops back!" ”

Liu Ji shook his head and said: "Hengzhou, Qinzhou and Leizhou are not connected to the rest of our Broken Army, plus our Broken Army is about to face a big battle, even if something happens to Hengzhou, Qinzhou and Leizhou, the other troops of the Broken Army are beyond the reach of the whip, it is better to leave some more troops, and twenty of the thirty-five infantry brigades of the Guards Corps are new units that have just been formed, so if you calculate it, the strength of our Broken Army in Hengzhou, Qinzhou and Leizhou is not strong." ”

Guo Jia said at this time: "Lord, the only force that can threaten the five counties of Hengzhou, Qinzhou and Leizhou is the Southeast Xiang Army, and the Southeast Xiang Army is still in a fierce battle with the Lu Army, and it is impossible to draw troops to attack Hengzhou, Qinzhou and Leizhou. ”

Liu Ji thought about it for a while and said, "Okay then! Then the five infantry brigades of the Guards Regiment will be transferred back to Shangyuan City together, and the enemy army that our Broken Army will face this time is really a lot of troops! ”

In a palace in the Imperial Palace of Dawan City, Yeman, the king of Dawan Kingdom, said to Leyard, the leader of the Shadow of Dawan Kingdom, with an excited face: "You Shadow have done a great job this time!" Not only did the Xianbei tribe, the Xiongnu tribe, the Khitan tribe, the Xirong tribe, the Donghu tribe, the Tiele tribe and the Karasuma tribe on the grassland agree to send troops together with our Dawan country to fight against the Broken Army, but also successfully let the Qingyi Tribes of the 100,000 mountains also join this alliance. ”

The shadow leader Leyard said calmly: "The reason why this time it was so smooth to say that the seven strong clans of the grassland and the Qingyi tribe of the 100,000 mountains were completely offended by the Broken Army, and there were too many people to offend. ”

The king of Dawan Kingdom, Yeman, then turned his head and said to Safuwan, the prime minister of Dawan Kingdom: "This time, our Dawan Kingdom promised to the seven strong clans of the grassland and the Qingyi tribe that we would send more than eight million troops, and now how is the preparation of our Dawan army?" ”

Prime Minister Safowan immediately said: "Your Majesty can rest assured, the thirty cavalry regiments and eighty infantry regiments of our Dawan Kingdom Standing Army are already in a state of full strength, and there are twenty-two cavalry regiments and sixty infantry regiments, which are arranged in the border line close to the Western Regions Protectorate of the Broken Army, with a total strength of 8.2 million, and they can cross the border line at any time and attack the Western Regions Protectorate of the Broken Army. ”

King Yeman of Dawan Country nodded with satisfaction and said: "Now there is still a month and a half before the time agreed with the seven strong clans of the grassland and the Qingyi tribe to launch an attack, during this time, we must hoard enough grain and grass along the border line, and among the twenty-two cavalry regiments and sixty infantry regiments, many of them are newly formed, so that those newly formed regiments will continue to intensify training in this month and a half, don't drop the chain on the battlefield, many of the troops of the Broken Army are elite." ”

Originally, the standing army of the Dawan Kingdom has maintained the size of twenty-four cavalry regiments and forty-eight infantry regiments, after the last war with the Broken Army, King Yeman ordered the expansion of twenty infantry regiments, although at the end of the war, these twenty infantry regiments were not completed, but after the release of the King Yeman of the Great Wan Kingdom by the Broken Army, the army of the Great Wan Kingdom quickly completed the formation of the twenty new infantry regiments.

Subsequently, under the strong leadership of the king of Dawan Kingdom, Yeman, the army of Dawan Kingdom expanded to six cavalry regiments and twelve infantry regiments, making the scale of the standing army of Dawan Kingdom reach 30 cavalry regiments and 80 infantry regiments, and the total strength became an astonishing 11 million, which made Dawan dare to promise to the seven strong clans of the grassland and the Qingyi tribe that they would send more than 8 million troops.

The shadow leader Leyard said at this time: "Your Majesty, this time, our Dawan Kingdom and the seven strong clans of the grassland, as well as the Qingyi clan of the 100,000 mountains, have made too much movement, maybe the Broken Army already knows about the alliance." ”

The king of Dawan Kingdom, Yeman, said indifferently: "Our Dawan Kingdom has sent at least more than eight million troops this time, the seven strong clans of the grassland have promised to send more than seven million troops, and even the Qingyi tribe has promised to send more than two million troops. This time, the captive army is definitely defeated! ”

In a felt bag in the royal court of the Xianbei tribe north of the Yinle Mountains, Murong Xiong, the Zuoxian King of the Xianbei tribe, asked Murong Ke, the great Khan of Xianbei: "Father Khan, although our grassland tribes have united again this time, can we really defeat the Broken Army?" ”

Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke smiled and said: "There are too many people offended by the Broken Army, this time the war with the Broken Army is led by the Dawan State of the Western Regions, and the Great Wan State promises to send at least eight million troops, and our Xianbei tribe, Xiongnu tribe, and Khitan tribe each promise to send 1.5 million troops, the Xirong tribe promises to send 1 million troops, the Donghu, Tiele and Karasuma tribes, each promised to send 500,000 troops, adding up to 7 million people, and even the 100,000 Qingyi tribe in the mountains also promised to send 2 million troops, such a huge force, the Broken Army will definitely be defeated, Our Xianbei clan can finally wash away the shame! ”

In the last battle between the nine strong clans of the grassland and the Broken Army, in addition to the Rouran tribe being annexed by the Broken Army, the Wuheng tribe suffered a devastating heavy loss, and the Xianbei tribe also suffered heavy losses, the Xianbei tribe not only ceded about 500,000 square kilometers of grassland north of the Gunas River to the Broken Army, but also compensated the Broken Army 500,000 Jin slaves, 400,000 slaves of other tribes, 200,000 taels of gold, 300,000 war horses, 100,000 cattle and 5 million sheep, and even Murong Xue, the most beloved daughter of Xianbei Khan Murong Ke, also became Liu Ji's woman.

Murong Xiong, King of Zuoxian, hesitated for a moment and said, "Father Khan, if our Xianbei clan fights with the Broken Army again, what can Sister Xue'er do?" ”

The gloomy look on Murong Ke's face of Xianbei Great Khan flashed, "For the benefit of the entire Xianbei clan, I can't take care of Xue'er." ”

Murong Xiong, King of Zuoxian, sighed, and then asked: "Father Khan, this time our Xianbei tribe promised to send more than 1.5 million troops, how many cavalry are you going to draw from the Xianbei tribe, as well as from the Qiluo tribe, the Suxi tribe, the Yuzhen tribe, the Guhun tribe and the Ding Ling clan?" ”

The Qiluo tribe, the Suxi tribe, the Yuzhen tribe, the Guhun tribe and the Ding Ling tribe are all subordinate ethnic groups attached to the Xianbei tribe, and the strength of these five ethnic groups belongs to the third echelon in the grassland.

Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke pondered for a moment and said: "This time to deal with the Broken Army, our Xianbei Clan must do our best, after all, our Xianbei Clan is adjacent to the Beiting Protectorate of the Broken Army, in case ...... Actually, there should be no case! This time, the Great Khan is ready to let the Qiluo tribe, the Suxi tribe, the Yuzhen tribe, the Guhun tribe and the Ding Ling tribe each send 100,000 cavalry, while our Xianbei tribe will mobilize 1.5 million cavalry! ”

Don't look at Murong Ke's swear that the Broken Army will be defeated, but Murong Ke still has a little worry in his heart, after all, the prestige of the Broken Army is there, so although the Xianbei clan promised to send 1.5 million troops before, Murong Ke is ready to take out an extra 500,000 cavalry to join the war against the Broken Army.

"Father Khan, our Xianbei clan took out 1.5 million cavalry at once, isn't it too much? After all, our Xianbei tribe still has to guard against the Xiongnu and Khitan tribes, and 1.5 million cavalry accounts for almost half of our Xianbei tribe's strength! Zuo Xian Wang Murong Xiong frowned and said.

As the second strongest clan in the grassland, the Xianbei tribe currently has more than three million cavalry, and if the war requires it, the Xianbei tribe can even increase this number to more than four million.

Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke said categorically: "Send more cavalry, in order to get more booty, according to the discussion of our seven strong clans in the grassland, the number of troops will be directly linked to the spoils obtained, which clan sends more cavalry, the more booty you get." ”

In a meeting hall of the Tusi Mansion in Pingliang City of the Qing Yi Nationality, Wumeng Ergu, the king of the western Qing Yi Tribe, said in a deep voice to the Tusi Wumeng Aggo of the Qing Yi Nationality: "Abba, our Qing Yi Nationality has suffered very heavy losses in the war with the Bai Miao Tribe, is it appropriate to prepare to launch an attack on the Broken Army now?" ”

In the war with the Bai Miao people, the Qing Yi lost more than 5 million people, and the Qing Yi people ceded the western province to the Broken Army, which is equivalent to the loss of about 4 million people, which is close to one-third of the total population of the Qing Yi people.

Qingyi Tusi Wumeng Ago gritted his teeth and said: "The shame brought by the Broken Army to our Qingyi Tribe, I Wumeng Ago always remember, this time led by the Dawan Nation, the Xianbei Tribe, the Xiongnu Tribe, the Khitan Tribe, the Xirong Tribe, the Donghu Tribe, the Tiele Tribe, and the Karasuma Tribe, all joined the alliance of this crusade against the Broken Army, and the Great Wan Kingdom promised to send at least eight million troops, and the seven strong tribes of the grassland also promised to send seven million troops, plus the two million elite troops of our Qingyi Tribe, it is impossible for the Broken Army to turn the tables this time, We, the Qingyi people, must recapture the Western Province this time! ”

Liu Ji had plundered all the most favored concubines of Wumeng Ago, the Tusi of the Qingyi Nationality, which made Wumeng Ago's heart have always had a thorn in his heart, and he couldn't wait to eat Liu Ji alive.

Wumeng Ergu, the king of the western Qing Yi tribe, hesitated for a moment and said: "Abba, but we still have to guard against the Bai Miao tribe, in case the Bai Miao tribe takes advantage of the fierce battle between our Qing Yi tribe and the broken army, and sends troops to invade our Qing Yi tribe, what will it be?" ”

Qingyi Tusi Wumeng Agoo immediately said: "Our Qingyi still has a population of more than 20 million, at least we can gather more than 10 million troops, and it is still possible to take out 2 million for attacking the captive army, and this time our Qingyi only need to send 1.3 million troops, and 700,000 troops will be sent by our Qingyi people's affiliated ethnic groups. ”

The Dongban tribes in the 100,000 mountains have always been all soldiers, and it is normal for the more than 20 million Qingyi tribes to have more than 10 million troops, but these more than 10 million troops must include women.

"Abba, then I hope to personally lead the troops and retake the Western Province!"

"Ergu, Abba was originally going to let you lead those two million troops, after all, the Western Province is your territory!"
