Chapter 146: Increasing Troops Before Fighting
Liu Ji's words of comfort made Yang Zaixing's face look better, and then Yang Zaixing said to Liu Ji: "Thanks to the master's very clever methods of envy and power against the Hu prisoners of war, the Hu cavalry under his subordinates can also fight bravely to kill the enemy, otherwise it would be impossible for his subordinates to capture this handsome banner of the Wuheng people."

Saying that, Yang Zaixing handed the captured handsome flag to Liu Ji, Liu Ji took the handsome flag, unfolded it and looked at it, the patterns and words on it, Liu Ji couldn't understand what it meant, but Liu Ji had already learned from the captured Wuheng captives that the commander of Wuheng this time was Wuheng Zuoyi King Duotuotai, and this flag should be the handsome flag of Zuoyi Wang.
Liu Ji then handed over the handsome banner of Wuheng Zuoyi King Duotuotai to the guard Sima Lei Heng beside him, and then Liu Ji said to Yang Zaixing: "Zaixing, this big victory, we also captured almost three thousand Wuheng cavalry, and after these Wuheng cavalry sign the letter of allegiance, they will give priority to supplementing the losses of Zaixing's department, and do you need to transfer some veterans from other cavalry departments?" β
Yang Zaixing shook his head and said: "Lord, the remaining more than 100 people in his subordinate department can act as grassroots officers, and only need to add enough soldiers, and his subordinates can form a cavalry force with stronger combat effectiveness, but most of the remaining more than 100 people are Hu people, and his subordinates are ready to let these Hu people act as captains, captains, team leaders, tun commanders, and even military marquis, I don't know if the lord agrees?" β
Liu Ji nodded without hesitation and said, "General Ben promised all the Hu soldiers who have been recruited that as long as they are truly loyal to General Ben and fight bravely for General Ben, they will enjoy the same promotion opportunities and rewards as the Jin soldiers!" β
The news that the Wuheng royal court sent nearly 30,000 cavalry to invade Chengyin County in Ju'an County, Qianzhou, Jin State, and returned at Xishan Pass spread throughout the small half of the grassland in a few days.
On March 9, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, hundreds of miles north of Chengyin City, Mo Rige, the right sage king of Loufu, summoned the three captains of the Cangxiong tribe and the five thousand-man Ji Rite, who commanded the five thousand-man teams in the name of the commander, into his felt bag.
Mo Rige, the right sage king of Lou Fu, said in a deep voice: "Originally, King Zuoyi had agreed that our Cangxiong tribe and King Zuoyi's Qingyang tribe would each send 2 10,000 troops to Chengyin County to eliminate the Jin army that dared to challenge the majesty of our Lou Fu clan, but now the situation has changed slightly, this king has just got a shocking news, Wuheng Zuoyi King Duotuotai led nearly 30,000 iron cavalry of Wuheng Wangting, and was defeated by the Jin army in Chengyin County at the Xishan Pass of the Anxing Mountains, with more than half of the losses. Wuheng Zuoyi King Duotuotai should be returning to the Wuheng royal court with the remnants of the soldiers and horses at this moment. β
Captain Bileg immediately frowned and said: "King, it seems that the army of the Jin people in Chengyin County is not simple, and now the two captains of Erdemu and Enheer have led their troops to the Xishan Pass of the Anxing Mountains, preparing to attack Chengyin County after joining the 20,000 troops of the Qingyang Tribe!" Did you send someone to ride a fast horse to let Erdemu and Enkel, the two captains, postpone the attack on Chengyin County, and let's first figure out the specific reality of the Jin army in Chengyin County? β
Mo Rige, the right sage king of Lou Fu, waved his hand and said: "The matter of attacking Chengyin County cannot be changed, nor can it be postponed, otherwise it will make other ethnic groups in the grassland think that we are afraid of Lou Fu, after all, the matter of our Cangxiong tribe and Qingyang tribe jointly sending troops to Chengyin County of the Jin Kingdom has been spread." β
At this time, another commander of ten thousand soldiers, Su Heba, said: "Great King, since we can't know the specific reality of the army in Chengyin County, then we'd better send more troops, just in case!" β
Mo Rige, the right sage king of Lou Fu, nodded and said: "This king is also considering, this king is ready to gather 20,000 cavalry from the affiliated tribes, and then send another 10,000 troops from our Cangxiong tribe to Xishankou, in this way, our Cangxiong tribe alone has sent more than 50,000 troops, plus the soldiers and horses of the Qingyang tribe, it is enough to eliminate all accidents, I believe that after King Zuoyi gets the shocking news, he will also send some more soldiers and horses." β
After a pause, Mo Zhige turned his head and said to the commander of the ten thousand people, Bileg: "Bileg, this king is going to let your 10,000-strong team go to Chengyin County, and command the 20,000 cavalry of the affiliated tribes, as well as the 20,000 troops of Erdemu and Enkel, and the more than 50,000 cavalry of our Cangxiong tribe, all under your command!" β
Captain Bilege hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the king can rest assured, Bilege will definitely level the entire Chengyin County and not leave a living Jin person!" β
Suddenly, the young commander of the thousand commanders, Ji Rite, opened his mouth and said to the right virtuous king Mo Rige: "Great King, please allow Mo Rige to lead the 5 thousand troops of the headquarters to go out with the commander of the Bilge Wanfu to give Mo Rige a chance to avenge his father with his own hands!" β
Mo Rige, the right sage king of Lou Fu, hesitated for a moment and then nodded to Mo Rige and said, "The eagle will soar in the sky after all, go, Mo Rige!" Go and harden your young wings! β
In the Loufu Qingyang tribe, which is hundreds of miles south of the Cangxiong tribe, after learning the news of the defeat of Wuheng Zuoyi King Duotuotai in Xishankou, the other two captains of the Qingyang tribe, Meng Laen and Babuhe, have led 20,000 people to rush to Xishankou.
Lou Fu Zuoyi Wang Haoburi discussed with the four commanders, and decided to send another 10,000 troops to Xishankou to increase the strength of the attack on Chengyin County, but Zuoyi Wang Haoburi did not gather the cavalry of the affiliated tribes under the Qingyang tribe, the Qingyang tribe alone has 3 10,000 troops, more than 30,000 cavalry, and counting the cavalry sent by the Cangxiong tribe, it is not difficult to capture Luyang City, the state capital of Qianzhou, Zuoyi Wang Haoburi does not believe that such a huge force can not eliminate the Jin army in Chengyin County!
Liu Ji was on the grassland, and he didn't have any source of information, and he didn't know that there was an army of Lou Fu who had more troops than the Wuheng Heng army was about to enter Chengyin County.
After Liu Ji's cavalry troops defeated the 28,000 cavalry led by Wuheng Zuoyi King Duotuotai outside the Xishan Pass, Liu Ji led his seven cavalry and four infantry to leave the Xishan Pass, and Zhang Guihou's infantry was still left here in the Xishan Pass to guard the important gorge passage from the grassland to Chengyin County.
Liu Ji thought that after defeating this Wuheng army, he would at least have a period of time to recuperate, but he did not expect that a larger battle was coming.
