Chapter 304: Occupy the Land of a Country
The ten generals under Liu Ji, led 600 Wei soldiers, in the process of launching a night attack on the three cavalry teams of Gaochang State outside the north gate of Lanbao City, as well as the 1,500 cavalry of Xuju State, the cavalry of Xuju State in the east, south, and west directions outside Lanbao City did not come to support, and still stayed in the camp honestly.

The generals of the Suju Kingdom in these three directions had never experienced war, and when they encountered such a situation, they did not know what to do at once, so they could only hold their respective camps and wait for orders from their kings.
After the battle outside the north gate of Lanbao City ended, the generals under Liu Ji's command, holding Dong Sheng, the king of Xuju Kingdom, easily took over 1,500 cavalry of Xuju Kingdom in the east, south, and west directions outside Lanbao City, so that the army of Gaochang State and the army of Xuju State outside Lanbao City were all resolved.
In the entire night attack, only nine Wei soldiers under Liu Ji were killed, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides was simply disproportionate.
Subsequently, Liu Ji interrogated Dong Sheng, the king of Xuju Kingdom, and learned that the other two cities of Xuju Kingdom, Xuju City and Xia Luo City, had no garrison of Gaochang State at this time, and only Xuju Kingdom's own infantry was left to defend the city, so Liu Ji sent Gao Chong, Du Ning, Deng Yu, and Wu Han four generals to lead 200 Wei soldiers to escort Dong Sheng, the king of Xuju State, to Xuju City, the capital of Xuju Kingdom.
At the same time, he sent four generals, Wu Yunzhao, Xiao Feng, Jia Fu, and Kou Sui, to lead 200 Wei soldiers to escort Dong Ming, the younger brother of King Dong Sheng, to Xialuo City.
By the evening of November 9, the entire Suju Kingdom, including Suju City and Xia Luo City, had fallen into the hands of Liu Ji, because with Dong Sheng and Dong Ming in hand, both Suju City and Xia Luo City surrendered without a fight.
Although the entire Suju Kingdom fell into the hands of Liu Ji, the only army that Liu Ji could really rely on at this time was the Wei military soldiers and more than 900 people in the camp, you must know that the population of the entire Suju Kingdom was 300,000, and the surrendered Suju State army alone was as high as 7,200 people, and there were more than 1,000 Gaochang prisoners of war.
Relying only on more than 900 people, to defend the three cities of Suju Kingdom, as well as more than 8,000 prisoners, even if these more than 900 people were elite, they were overstretched, but fortunately, on the morning of November 10, there were eight cavalry battalions of the Juan army outside the city of Lanbao.
These eight cavalry battalions are the cavalry battalions led by Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, Zang Ba, Cao Xiu, Yan Yan, Feng Sheng, Lin Chong and Guan Sheng.
In addition, there was another person who came to Lanbao City with the eight cavalry battalions, and that was Ding Lin, a strategist under Liu Ji.
After the eight cavalry battalions arrived at Ranburg City, Liu Ji immediately sent two cavalry battalions to Suju City and Xialuo City, while the remaining four cavalry battalions remained here in Ranburgh City.
In the castle of the City Lord's Mansion in Lanbao City, Ding Lin looked at Agu Yili, who was sitting next to Liu Ji, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, his lord, is okay in other aspects, but his concentration in terms of women is too poor, Ding Lin already knew Agu Yili's identity, and also learned from Liu Ji that the Holy Fire Sect in the Western Regions has such a huge power.
Ding Lin complained to Liu Ji in his heart, the Holy Fire Sect has such a wide influence in the Western Regions, but you directly slept with other people's holy daughters, which is equivalent to leaving no room for maneuver with the Holy Fire Sect, which is simply the rhythm of looking for death.
Liu Ji put his arm around Agu Yili and asked Ding Lin, "Old Ding, is there anything going on in Jue'an County these days?" ”
"Don't worry, my lord, everything is fine in Ju'an County, and the various nomads near our territory have not made any moves!"
Liu Ji nodded, and then said: "Now that the entire Suju country has fallen into my hands, and the population of the Suju country is 300,000, most of them are Jin people, even if the people of the Suju country are no different from our Jin people, since such a place has fallen into the pocket of our Ji'an army, then I am not ready to give it up, what do you think, Lao Ding?" ”
Ding Lin hesitated for a moment and said: "Lord, the Suju Kingdom was one of the sixteen subject countries of our Great Jin Dynasty in the Western Regions more than a hundred years ago, and the Lord now occupies the Xuju Kingdom, in a sense, it can be regarded as recovering the homeland for my Great Jin, but the Suju Kingdom was previously a vassal state of the Gaochang Kingdom, and we occupied the Xuju Kingdom, and the Gaochang Kingdom will definitely not give up. ”
After a pause, Ding Lin continued: "And now that we have offended the Holy Fire Sect again, basically all the countries in the entire Western Regions believe in the Holy Fire Sect, so that we are already enemies of the entire Western Regions, and my subordinates suggest that the lord should give up the Suju Kingdom and return to Ju'an County as soon as possible, as long as we withdraw to Ju'an County, even if Gaochang Kingdom and the Holy Fire Sect want to deal with us, it will not be so easy." ”
Liu Ji waved his hand and said: "Gao Changguo and the Holy Fire Sect already have a bitter enmity with me, this hatred has become irresolvable since Uncle Tie was killed and my unborn child is gone, I will not give up the Suju Kingdom, I am ready to rely on the fulcrum of the Suju Kingdom to have a good battle with the Gaochang Kingdom and the Holy Fire Sect in the Western Regions, if we really can't hold it in the end, we will withdraw to Ji'an County!" ”
Ding Lin pondered for a moment and said: "If the lord has to annex the Suju Kingdom, we must be prepared to meet the army of the Gaochang Kingdom, the west of the Xuju Kingdom belongs to the sphere of influence of the Gaochang Kingdom, once the Gaochang Kingdom learns that the Xuju Kingdom has fallen into the hands of our Ju'an army, it will soon send a large army to crusade against us, not to mention that the son of the Eastern Governor of the Gaochang Kingdom, Haner Apdu, is still in our hands." ”
Liu Ji immediately said: "I learned from Dong Sheng, the original king of the Suju Kingdom, that the people of the Gaochang Kingdom have spread the news of our occupation of Lanbao City, and they have also asked for help from the Gaochang garrison of Zhuqi Kingdom, where there are 40,000 troops of Gaochang Kingdom, and maybe the Gaochang troops stationed in Zhuqi Kingdom will soon come to Suju Kingdom." ”
Ding Lin touched his chin and said: "Lord, if it is only the Gaochang army stationed in Zhuqi country, we can use some tricks, after all, those Gaochang troops don't know yet, the entire Suju country has fallen into our hands, if we are lucky, maybe we only need to pay a small price to get rid of those Gaochang army." ”
