"Smack-" In a study room of the Southeast Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Prefecture, the Great Jin Dynasty, Zhang Mingqi, the Southeast Metropolitan Governor, slammed his fist on the bookcase in front of him, "How did Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin do it?" The troops of the ten guards, even if they lost a lot of people before, had more than 900,000 troops, and almost all the troops were wiped out in one battle, and in the end, even Moyu City was easily captured by the Broken Army. ”

I can't complain that Zhang Mingqi is so angry, he just planned to send reinforcements to the Third Army and the Sixth Army of the Southeast Wing Army in Hengzhou, but these six guards have not yet been opened, and the situation in Hengzhou has taken a sharp turn, and the fourteen guards of the Third Army and the Sixth Army have only three guards left in an instant.

Tang Yan, a strategist in the study, sighed and said: "My lord, General Zhou Jiling and General Chen Hongxin only brought more than 10,000 defeated soldiers and fled to Zheng'an City, the state capital of Hengzhou. ”

Zhang Mingqi took a deep breath and eased his emotions, "Mr. Tang, do you think Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin can hold Zheng'an City?" ”

Strategist Tang Yan shook his head and said: "Lord, although Zheng'an City is a high city and a deep pool, but Zheng'an City has just been captured by our Southeast Xiang Army, and the foundation of our Southeast Xiang Army in Zheng'an City is unstable. ”

Zhang Mingqi said in a deep voice: "There is also a guard of the Third Army Corps and a guard of the Sixth Army Corps in Hengzhou, if these two guards are also transferred to Zheng'an City, Mr. Tang thinks our Southeast Wing Army can hold the state capital of Hengzhou?" ”

Strategist Tang Yan smiled bitterly, "Lord, the troops of the Broken Army may soon arrive in Zheng'an City, the other two guards in Hengzhou have no chance to enter Zheng'an City, and their subordinates think that it is better not to let these two guards support Zheng'an City, in case these two guards are outside Zheng'an City, they are also eaten by the Broken Army, and the third and sixth legions of our Southeast Wing Army will really be wiped out." ”

Zhang Mingqi pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Tang, if our Southeast Xiang Army abandons Hengzhou, will Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin still have a chance to evacuate Zheng'an City?" ”

The look of surprise in the eyes of the strategist Tang Yan flashed, "My lord, from Ningbo City to Zheng'an City, using carrier pigeons to deliver the news, it will take several transfers, and it will take two days at the fastest to get the news to Zheng'an City, and the Broken Army may not give us so much time for the Southeast Xiang Army." ”

After a pause, the strategist Tang Yan couldn't help asking, "Lord, are you really ready to give up Hengzhou?" ”

Zhang Mingqi sighed and said: "This Metropolitan Governor still underestimated the Broken Army, this time Liu Ji only brought a million Broken Army to the south, which caused such a huge loss to our Southeast Wing Army, and it was in such a short period of time, it seems that if our Southeast Wing Army wants to defeat the Broken Army, we must gather enough troops, and now give up Hengzhou, just so that our Southeast Wing Army can have time to gather troops." ”

Strategist Tang Yan hesitated for a moment and said: "Lord, now that the war between Leizhou and Qinzhou is not over, and the Third Army and the Sixth Army have suffered unprecedented heavy losses, our Southeast Xiang Army wants to gather a force that can defeat the Broken Army, unless a large number of troops are drawn from the First Army Corps, the Fourth Army Corps and the Praetorian Guard Legion, but in that case, maybe the Lu State should take advantage of the fire to loot." ”

Zhang Mingqi frowned and asked, "Mr. Tang, then what do you say our Southeast Wing Army should do next?" ”

"Lord, although the Broken Army entered the southwest this time on the orders of the imperial court, Liu Ji, the commander of the Broken Army, must have personally led the army to our Southeast Wing Army because he fell in love with the territory of the five southwestern states.

"Peace? What Mr. Tang meant, could it be that he sat down with the Broken Army to discuss how to divide up the five southwestern states? Zhang Mingqi asked with a gloomy face.

"Lord, in fact, among the five southwestern states, only Leizhou and Qinzhou are the most important for our southeast Xiang army, as long as our southeast Xiang army controls Leizhou and Qinzhou, there will be an opportunity to expand into the territory of the Great Zhou State, as for the remaining Hengzhou, Guizhou and Yuzhou in the five southwestern states, we can completely hand them over to the Broken Army."

Zhang Mingqi was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "The matter of making peace with the Broken Army will be handed over to Mr. Tang to be responsible, and then convey the order of the Metropolitan Governor to Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin, let them abandon Zheng'an City and retreat to Qinzhou, and at the same time order the other two guards in Hengzhou to also withdraw to Qinzhou!" By the way, the two guards drawn from the Second Army Corps, as well as the three guards drawn from the First Army Corps, don't need to go to Hengzhou, go directly to Qinzhou, once we can't get along with the Broken Army, our Southeast Wing Army will fight to the death with the Broken Army in Qinzhou! ”

After easily defeating the main force of the Third Army and the Sixth Army of the Southeast Xiang Army, the Broken Army had to slow down the offensive to solve the problem of more than 800,000 prisoners of war because there were too many prisoners, which gave Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin the opportunity to evacuate Zheng'an City.

Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin immediately took more than 100,000 southeast Xiang troops and hurriedly evacuated Zheng'an City, the state capital of Hengzhou, and at the same time, the other two guards of the Southeast Xiang Army in Hengzhou also quickly withdrew to Qinzhou.

After entering Hengzhou, the Broken Army lost a total of about 80,000 people, including more than 15,000 Modao soldiers, and the various brigades of the Guards Corps, adding up to almost 65,000 people, after capturing about 850,000 prisoners of war of the Southeast Xiang Army, Liu Ji immediately ordered the various brigades of the Guards Corps to select 65,000 people from these prisoners of war to fill the shortfall.

In addition, Liu Ji also transferred some officers and veterans of the Guards Corps, and based on these officers and veterans, plus the remaining 785,000 prisoners of war, 20 new infantry brigades were formed at once.

The prisoners of war of the Southeast Xiang Army are all Jin people, and many of them are forced to join the Southeast Xiang Army, and even some of them are soldiers of the Hengzhou Army, so there is no resistance to joining the Broken Army, and the treatment of the Broken Army is good, and the treatment of the Southeast Xiang Army is simply very different.

Liu Ji learned that the remaining troops of the Southeast Xiang Army in Hengzhou gave up Zheng'an City, the capital of Hengzhou, and other cities in Hengzhou, and withdrew all of them to Qinzhou, and immediately assigned some troops of the Guards Regiment and Modao Soldiers, and quickly took over Zheng'an City and various counties in Hengzhou.

Next, Liu Ji did not rush to march to Qinzhou, and reorganized the newly formed twenty infantry brigades of the Guards Corps in Hengzhou.

Liu Ji currently reserves 326,700 Wei soldiers, 24,000 Tang Dynasty Mo sword soldiers, 36,000 trapped camp soldiers, 86,400 Ming Dynasty white pole soldiers and 6,000 Han Dynasty tiger soldiers in the system.

In addition to the 10,000 soldiers trapped in the camp, Liu Ji did not summon other elite soldiers, and the many elite soldiers in the system reserve, Liu Ji was prepared to keep them for use at critical moments.

From the time the Broken Army attacked the Southeast Xiang Army barracks in the north outside Moyu City, until the main forces of the Third and Sixth Legions of the Southeast Xiang Army were annihilated, Liu Ji absorbed a total of more than 470,000 soul points, plus the remaining nearly 20,000 soul points before Liu Ji, making the soul value in Liu Ji's hands become 490,000 points.

Liu Ji then did not hesitate to buy two marrow washing and hair cutting pills, and gave them to Long Ji and Shi Wansui, two top generals with a force value of 98 points.

Long Ji and Shi Wansui were promoted to peerless generals after taking the marrow washing pill, and the force value of both of them became 101 points, and the system immediately rewarded Liu Ji with two top ministers.

Tian Feng, force value 45, intelligence value 93, commander value 78, Yuan Shao's subordinates in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the official to Jizhou don't drive, he is upright, has repeatedly said to Yuan Shao and was not adopted, Cao Cao's subordinate adviser Xun Yu once commented that he "just committed it", and was later ordered to be imprisoned by Yuan Shao for dissuading Yuan Shao from conquering Cao Cao, after the battle of Guandu, Tian Feng was killed by Yuan Shao.

Frustrated, force value 43, intelligence value 94, commander value 79, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty Yuan Shao's account under the strategist, the history records that he "has few ambitions, good at strategy", once for Jizhou don't drive, Mao Cai, and served as a county commander twice, and later when Han Fu don't drive, was Han Fu table as a cavalry captain, Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou after appointing frustration to engage in, often put forward good advice to Yuan Shao, but many times Yuan Shao did not listen, Yuan Shao was defeated in the battle of Guandu, frustrated before he could escape, was captured by Cao Cao, and was executed by Cao Cao for refusing to surrender.

After Long Ji and Shi Wansui were promoted to peerless generals, Liu Ji looked at the remaining more than 90,000 soul points in his hand, and couldn't help but consume another 64,000 soul points under the itchy hand, and summoned a top military general from the system, fortunately, Liu Ji's luck during this period of time was good, and he summoned a top military general with a force value of up to 99 points.

Huang Zhong, force value 99 points, intelligence value 74, commander value 78, the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty famous general, one of Liu Bei's five tiger generals, this is Liu Biao's subordinate general, later returned to Liu Bei, and helped Liu Bei attack Yizhou Liu Zhang, Jian'an twenty-four years, Huang Zhong in the battle of Dingjun Mountain in the battle of Cao Cao's subordinate Xiahou Yuan, promoted to the general of the expedition to the west, Liu Bei called the queen of Hanzhong changed the title of general, gave Huang Zhong as the marquis of Guannei, the following year Huang Zhong died of illness.

After summoning Huang Zhong, the soul value in Liu Ji's hand was only 27,120 points, which was no longer enough for Liu Ji, but Liu Ji believed that it would not be long before the soul value in his hand could increase again.

On March 12, 432 of the Great Jin Dynasty, in a council room of the governor's mansion in Zheng'an City, Hengzhou, Guo Jia told Liu Ji: "My lord, the Southeast Xiang Army has sent a messenger, hoping to divide the five southwestern states equally with our Broken Army, of which Leizhou and Qinzhou belong to the Southeast Xiang Army, and Hengzhou, Guizhou and Yuzhou belong to our Broken Army. ”

Liu Ji sneered when he heard it and said: "The governor of the southeast is a good calculation, Hengzhou has fallen into the hands of our broken army, and Guizhou and Yuzhou are still the territory of the imperial court, as long as the southeast Xiang army controls Leizhou and Qinzhou, you can continue to expand to the Great Zhou State, our broken army this time is to seize Leizhou and Qinzhou, tell the messenger of the southeast Xiang army, the southeast Xiang army wants to divide the five southwestern states equally with our broken army, but Leizhou, Qinzhou and Hengzhou must belong to our broken army, Guizhou and Yuzhou can belong to the Southeast Xiang Army! ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Lord, this division, the Southeast Xiang Army will definitely not agree, if Leizhou, Qinzhou and Hengzhou are occupied by our Broken Army, then even if the Southeast Xiang Army gets Guizhou and Yuzhou, it will not be able to border their seven southeastern states, and between Gui and Yuzhou and the Southeast Seven Prefectures, Leizhou, Qinzhou and Hengzhou will be separated." ”

Liu Ji said indifferently: "If the Southeast Xiang Army does not agree, then continue to fight, this metropolitan governor does not want to divide the five southwestern states equally with the Southeast Xiang Army!" ”

At this time, the frustration in the council hall said: "What the lord said is that Leizhou and Qinzhou are close to the Great Zhou State, and whoever gets Leizhou and Qinzhou will have the opportunity to meddle in the Great Zhou State, and our Broken Army must not have any compromise with the Southeast Xiang Army on this issue." ”

Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao and Tian Feng, the three top ministers, also nodded, and now the Broken Army has captured Hengzhou, and also eliminated more than one million troops of the Southeast Xiang Army, although in the territory of the five southwestern states, the Broken Army is still at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but the Broken Army has taken the initiative by virtue of its strong combat effectiveness.

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Don't worry, my subordinates know how to talk to the envoy of the Southeast Xiang Army." ”

Liu Ji then asked Wang Ben, the commander of the Guards Corps, "What happened to the newly formed twenty infantry brigades?" ”

Wang Ben said excitedly: "Lord Qiqi, the formation of the twenty infantry brigades is very smooth, the prisoners of war of the Southeast Wing Army are very hard in training, and among the twenty infantry brigades, there are more than 10,000 veterans of our Broken Army, even if these twenty infantry brigades are pulled into the battlefield now, there is no problem." ”

Liu Ji's expansion of the army suddenly doubled the strength of the Guards Legion, making the Guards Legion have five cavalry brigades and thirty-five infantry brigades, which makes Wang Ben, the commander of the Guards Legion, look happy when he sees everyone these days.
