The total area of the 12 provinces to which the former Gaochang Eastern Governorate belonged was 1.6 million square kilometers, and then counting the area of 28 vassal states such as Zhuqiguo, the area of the oasis owned by the newly listed Western Regions Protectorate was almost 2.3 million square kilometers, and if the desert and Gobi between the oases were also counted, the area of the entire Western Regions Protectorate would reach an astonishing 5.5 million square kilometers.

After signing a peace agreement with Gao Changguo, Liu Ji discussed with Xiao He, and divided the land of the entire Western Regions Protectorate into eight states, and the Sarma Province with an area of 600,000 square kilometers was renamed Xizhou, and the city of Talas was renamed Pingxi City, which was later the capital of the Western Regions Protectorate.

The 80,000-square-kilometre province of Smosco, the 30,000-square-kilometre province of Balikun, and the 60,000-square-kilometre province of Mazatag were merged to form Anju.

The provinces of Ruudnay and Costa, which together have a combined area of 250,000 square kilometers, were merged to form Queensland, and the provinces of Naikarek and Kaminputay, which have a combined area of 290,000 square kilometers, were merged to form Mongol.

The provinces of Kerz, Timirtau, Almaz and Jezkazgan, which together amounted to 300,000 square kilometres, were merged into the Golden Oblast.

The Zhuqi Kingdom, the Shiqu Kingdom, the Daosu Kingdom, the Onda Kingdom, the Qiwu Kingdom, the Dana Kingdom, the Yuanba Kingdom, and the Suju Kingdom, with a combined area of about 200,000 square kilometers, were merged into Lingzhou.

The kingdom of Langli, Mingci, Jiyuan and six small countries combined with an area of about 250,000 square kilometers, and these nine countries were merged into Chizhou, and the Tatar and Hubei countries, Chige and the other fourteen small countries combined with an area of about 250,000 square kilometers, and these seventeen countries were merged into Tuzhou.

The eight prefectures named the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate used the names of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, the Jinshan Metropolitan Protectorate, the Kunling Metropolitan Protectorate and the Mengchi Metropolitan Protectorate, and split Anxi, Jinshan, Kunling and Mengchi into eight characters, but Liu Ji felt that the name of Tuzhou was not very elegant, so he replaced it with a homophonic character of the soil character and changed Tuzhou to Tuzhou.

After the Western Regions Protectorate divided eight states, Liu Ji and Xiao He divided the prefectures into several counties, and each county was divided into several counties, which can be regarded as a complete set of administrative divisions for the Western Regions Protectorate.

But then Liu Ji was worried, because he didn't have so many civil officials under his hands, and he served as so many state ministers, taishou and county commanders, and finally Liu Ji and Xiao He discussed it again, and decided to temporarily let the Western Regions Protectorate enter the state of military management, and the commander of the garrisons in various places was temporarily responsible for the people's livelihood work in various places.

As for letting the generals who lead the troops, control the financial power of the local area, whether there will be a situation of self-respect for the troops, Liu Ji is not worried, after all, most of the generals under his command are called from the system, and there will be absolutely no problems with his loyalty.

The Breaker Army and Gao Changguo signed a peace treaty on September 10, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, and Liu Ji left the capital of the Western Regions Protectorate, which had been renamed Pingxi City, with the 150,000 cavalry that had been assembled early in the morning of September 11, preparing to support the Grassland Army.

After the more than 200 tribes of the Dangxiang tribe surrendered, the grassland army began to concentrate its forces and launch an attack on the territory of the Loufu tribe on the grassland.

The nearly 300 tribes of the Lou Fan tribe, under the leadership of the Great Khan Min Gray, the Zuoxian King Maurer, the Zuoyi King Haoburi and the Right Yi King Sterleng, resisted the invasion of the Grassland Legion, but the Grassland Legion absorbed too much nutrition from the Dangxiang Clan, and before the attack on the Lou Fan Clan, the number of cavalry of the Grassland Legion alone had reached 650,000, not counting the nearly 200,000 cavalry requisitioned from the tribes of the Dangxiang Clan.

In more than two months of fighting, less than 80 of the nearly 300 tribes of the Lou Fu tribe remained, and the other Lou Fu tribes had disappeared under the iron hooves of the grassland army.

And the remaining more than 70 tribes of the Lou Fu tribe have now all migrated to the vicinity of the royal court of the Lou Fu tribe, hugging together, preparing for the final decisive battle with the grassland army.

As for the Grassland Legion, after more than two months of fighting with the Lou Fu tribe, not only did its strength not weaken, but because of the absorption of Jin slaves and Hu slaves from the Lou Fu tribes, as well as the cavalry that had surrendered from the Lou Fu tribe, the strength of the Grassland Legion became larger and larger like a snowball, with more than 850,000 cavalry alone, and as many as 300,000 infantry.

With the strength of the grassland legion now, it is actually enough to defeat the remnants of the Lou Fu clan, and there is no need for Liu Ji to bring troops to help, but Liu Ji took 150,000 cavalry and hurried to the grassland, but his real purpose was to take the opportunity to absorb soul points.

In the process of capturing Talas City, Liu Ji only absorbed nearly 100,000 soul points, some of which came to the aid of the soldiers of Gaochangguo who killed and plundered the people, and some of which came from the people who were seriously injured in the earthquake and the soldiers of Gaochangguo.

Now because of the function of the mall after the system update, the soul value is more precious, and the remnants of the Lou Fu clan are likely to start a decisive battle with the grassland army, Liu Ji is not willing to let go of such a good opportunity to absorb a large number of soul points, so after the dust of the battle with Gao Changguo settled, he immediately hurried to the vast prairie with 150,000 cavalry.

In a giant felt bag in the royal court of the Lou Fan Clan, the Great Khan Min Gray of the Lou Fan Clan asked Zuo Xian King Maurer with a gloomy face, "What did Chagan Lal of the Ding Ling Clan say?" ”

Zuoxian Wang Maurer said gloomily: "The Chaganlar Great Khan of the Ding Ling clan asks for forgiveness from our Lou Fu clan, after the 80,000 Ding Ling cavalry sent by the Ding Ling clan to support our Lou Fu tribe last month were wiped out, there are currently nearly 100 tribes of the entire Ding Ling clan, and there are only 60,000 or 70,000 cavalry left, and the Chagan Lal Khan no longer has the ability to send troops to support our Lou Fu clan." ”

The strength of the Ding Ling clan belongs to the third echelon in the grassland, and the entire Ding Ling clan can gather about 180,000 cavalry, but twice participated in the grassland to defeat Liu Ji's grassland alliance, the loss of the Ding Ling clan is not small, even if it is supplemented, it can only gather about 150,000 Ding Ling cavalry.

This time, Liu Ji's grassland army attacked the Lou Fu tribe, and the Ding Ling clan sent more than half of the cavalry of the whole clan to support the Lou Fu tribe, but after several major battles with the grassland army, especially the last battle last month, the 80,000 Ding Ling cavalry were all gone, and the Ding Ling clan has done enough for the Lou Fu clan, even if the Ding Ling clan no longer sends troops, it is worthy of the hundred-year covenant between the Ding Ling clan and the Lou Fu clan.

The Great Khan Min Grey of the Lou Fu Clan asked in a deep voice to the Zuo Xian King Maurer, "Is there any news from the other clans?" ”

Zuo Xian Wang Maoler shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Great Khan, no clan around is willing to send an army to rescue our Lou Fu clan, and now our Lou Fu clan has become a lone army. ”

The Great Khan Min Gray of the Lou Fu clan shouted angrily: "These short-sighted guys, don't they know the meaning of cold lips and teeth? Now that Liu Ji's army has conquered the Dangxiang clan, if he conquers our Lou Fu clan again, then Liu Ji's strength on the grassland will directly catch up with the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Khitan tribes, and when Liu Ji has completely digested the Dang Xiang clan and the Lou Fu clan, it will be the turn of the other surrounding ethnic groups to be unlucky! ”

Zuoxian Wang Maurer sighed and said: "Great Khan, maybe this truth, all ethnic groups understand, but in the face of the strength of the current Ju'an army, all ethnic groups only hope to protect themselves first, so as not to provoke themselves, according to intelligence, the Ju'an army is only on the grassland, it already has a million soldiers, and the number of the Ju'an army in the Western Regions is even larger, and the second strongest country in the Western Regions, Gaochang Kingdom, lost his armor, alas--I knew that today, our Lou Fu clan should have gathered the strength of the whole clan to eliminate Liu Ji and the Juan army in the bud, It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now. ”

The Great Khan Min Gray of the Lou Fu Clan exhaled a breath of turbidity, calmed down his excitement for a while, and then asked Zuo Xian Wang Maoler in a deep voice, "How is Zuo Yi Wang Haoburi's injury?" ”

Zuo Xian Wang Maurer's face was even more gloomy and said: "Great Khan, King Zuo Yi's injury is too serious, maybe it's just these two days." ”

The right king of the Lou Fu clan, Sterleng, has been killed in the battle, and if the left Yi king Hao Buri is also dead, then there will be only one king left in the entire Lou Fu clan.

If it was placed in the past, the Lou Fan clan would have only one of their own sect kings, and Zuo Xian King Maurer would definitely be very happy, but now that the Lou Fu clan has reached the point of life and death, this makes Zuo Xian Wang Maurer not happy at all, and even more and more afraid in his heart.

After a pause, Zuoxian King Maurer asked: "Great Khan, now there are more than seventy tribes left in our entire Lou Fu clan, and they have withdrawn to the vicinity of the royal court, including the tribes of our three sect kings, all the cavalry gathered, even the old man and the young man, there can be 300,000 people, but the Jue'an army can mobilize a million troops on the grassland, most of which are cavalry, where should our Lou Fu clan go next?" ”

The expression on the face of the Great Khan of the Lou Fu Clan, Min Gray, instantly became firm, "There are countless examples of the weak defeating the strong in the grassland, and now we still have 300,000 warriors in the Lou Fu Clan, and it is a battle against the water, even if Liu Ji's Juan Army can gather a million troops, our Lou Nu Clan is not without a chance at all, this Great Khan has decided to start the final decisive battle with the Juan Army here in the royal court!" ”

Zuoxian King Maurer hesitated for a moment at this time and suggested: "Great Khan, there is a decisive battle with the Ju'an army here in the royal court, if we are defeated, our Lou Fu clan will be wiped out!" Is it possible for our Lou Fu clan to choose to migrate, now the army of the Ju'an Army is coming from the south, west, and north directions, and we Lou Fu Wang Ting are coming around, and our Lou Fu clan can completely migrate to the east and then find a new home! ”

"Nope! This vast grassland is the ancestors of our Lou Fu clan, with blood and life to fight out, absolutely not lost in the hands of the Great Khan, even if there is only one person left in our Lou Fu clan, we must keep this ancestral inheritance! Lou Fu Clan's Great Khan Min Gray said categorically.

Zuoxian King Maurer really wanted to spit on Mingray's face, the grassland has been fighting for many years, and the defeated nomads have given up their pastures and moved to other places to recuperate, which is simply too normal, but the stubborn Mingray has been shouting to defend the inheritance left by his ancestors, and would rather die than let the remaining Loufu tribes migrate, avoiding the Ju'an army in full swing.

"Great Khan, we ......"

"King Zuoxian, you don't need to persuade anymore, this Great Khan has made up his mind, and he will have a decisive battle with Liu Ji's Jue'an army here in the royal court!"

After leaving the felt bag of the Great Khan Min Gray of the Lou Fan Clan with a bitter face, Zuo Xian King Maurer returned to a giant felt bag where he lived, and at this time, there were more than a dozen generals of the Lou Fu clan in this giant felt bag, all waiting for Zuo Xian King Maurer to come back.

Seeing Zuo Xian Wang Maurer walking into the felt bag, a 10,000 captain asked urgently: "Zuo Xian Wang, what did the Great Khan say?" Agree or disagree with the migration? ”

Zuoxian King Maurer shook his head, sighed and said, "The Great Khan did not agree to the migration, and decided to have a final decisive battle with the Ju'an army here in the royal court. ”

Zuoxianwang Maoler's words made more than a dozen generals of the Lou Fu clan immediately become angry, and the captain who spoke just now gritted his teeth and said, "What does the Great Khan think? Now the strength of our entire Lou Annoy clan has only less than thirty percent left, and then fight hard with the Tortoise Army, it is likely to be wiped out, at this time, only to give all the grassland to the Tortoise Army, and our Lou Annoy clan to move elsewhere, is the best choice, so as not to let our Lou Annoy clan be wiped out! ”

At this time, Tuminko, the eldest son of the right-righteous king Sterlen, who had been killed in battle, said: "Uncle Maural, it seems that the Great Khan is bent on leading our entire Lou Fu clan to the abyss, and for the sake of our entire Lou Fu clan, Uncle Maurer should make up his mind!" ”

"King Zuo Xian, Tuminke is right, we can't let the Great Khan turn our entire Lou Fu clan into a martyr's sacrifice for him and the Juan army, we have to act!"

"King Zuoxian, give the order! We need a wiser Khan! ”

"King Zuoxian, do it! Can't wait any longer! ”

More than a dozen generals of the Lou Fu clan spoke one after another, with obvious meanings, hoping to carry out a mutiny and dismount the great Khan Min Gray of the Lou Fu tribe who insisted on going his own way.

Zuoxian King Maurer waved his hand and asked the dozen or so Lou Fu generals in the felt bag not to speak, and then Zuo Xian Wang Maurer was silent for a long time before raising his head and said: "For the sake of our entire Lou Fu clan, I, Maurer, can only be sorry for the Great Khan, but the Great Khan still controls the most elite 30,000 royal court cavalry of our Lou Fu clan, and our action this time must directly capture the Great Khan, and there must be no melee." ”
