After Liu Ji handed over Shi Mao to Taishou Zhang Chutao, Liu Ji returned to the mansion in the west of the city with a thousand cavalry, and the other 1,000 cavalry he brought to the Taishou Mansion were divided into four units, and then the four gates of Shangyuan City were controlled.

The 1,000 cavalry led by Meng Wu continued to stay in the Taishou Mansion in case there was any accident here in the Taishou Mansion.

On July 8, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, that is, the morning of the second day of Shi Mao's death, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang led their respective infantry battalions and arrived at Shangyuan City.

In yesterday's battle at the mansion in the west of the city, about 600 officers and men on the border of Shangyuan City were killed, and there were still more than 11,000 infantry left in the entire Shangyuan City, including more than 1,000 people who were captured in yesterday's battle.

After completing the incorporation of the remaining defenders of Shangyuan City, the strength of the three infantry battalions of Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang did not increase, and it was still more than 8,000 people, but there were many more border soldiers from the original Shangyuan City, and nearly 8,000 soldiers drawn from the three infantry battalions of Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Han Dang, and more than 3,000 border soldiers from the original Shangyuan City, formed two new infantry battalions.

For the time being, the commanders of these two infantry battalions are Li Xin and Meng Wu respectively, and the establishment of each infantry battalion is also 8,000 people, and part of the shortfall will be supplemented by border soldiers in the villages and towns around Shangyuan City, and in the villages and towns around Shangyuan City, there are still more than 2,000 border troops under Shi Mao's command.

Two newly formed infantry battalions, the remaining vacancies were recruited from the young and strong men in Shangyuan City, and the two first-class generals Zheng Wei and Wang Ji who were newly subdued by Liu Jixin were both appointed captains and sent to the two newly built infantry battalions respectively.

In the process of absorbing the defenders of Shangyuan City, Liu Ji was also pleasantly surprised to find that there were two Simas, a military marquis and a tun chief in the defenders, all of whom were third-rate generals, and these four people were named Sun Ruyue, Niu Zhi, Bai Siyuan and Zhao Teng.

Even Liu Ji found a second-rate military general in the defenders of Shangyuan City, but this second-rate military general named Geng Wenfeng was only a team leader in the official position in the defenders of Shangyuan City.

In the previous battles with the Hu people of the grassland, among the captured Hu nobles and officers, there were also many third-rate generals, and even several second-rate generals, but these unruly Hu generals, Liu Ji did not leave any of them, and all of them were killed, after all, there is no shortage of generals under Liu Ji's command, there is no need to take risks for these Hu generals who may rebel, and the hearts of non-our people will be different.

Among the Hu people, the nobles and officers belonged to the ruling class, and Liu Ji was confident that he would use the means of envy and power to shock the ordinary Hu cavalry, but he did not have the confidence that the nobles and officers of the Hu people would not rebel against him.

But the generals in the Jin army, Liu Jike is very willing to recruit, after all, everyone is a Jin person, at least not from the beginning.

Geng Wenfeng, Sun Ruyue, Niu Zhi, Bai Siyuan and Zhao Teng, the five generals in addition to the force value, the intelligence value and the commander value have also passed, but unfortunately they have not been reused under Shi Mao's hands, you must know that among the ten captains under Shi Mao, there is not even a third-rate general, and the intelligence and commander value of these ten captains are basically inferior to Geng Wenfeng, Sun Ruyue, Niu Zhi, Bai Siyuan and Zhao Teng.

Sun Ruyue and Niu Zhi were Simas before, so Liu Ji directly promoted the two of them to lieutenants and stayed in the two newly formed infantry battalions.

Bai Siyuan, Zhao Teng, and Geng Wenfeng were temporarily transferred to the Guards Battalion by Liu Ji, and prepared to slowly train them in the future, and then promote them when appropriate.

In order to win over the officers in the original Shangyuan City defenders, Liu Ji held a banquet at his mansion in the west of the city at noon on July 9, and invited all the officers above the team leader in the original Shangyuan City defenders.

At the time of the banquet, Liu Ji patted his chest and assured these officers of the original Shangyuan City defenders that in the future, they would be treated the same as the officers under Liu Ji's previous command, and there would be no distinction between far and near, they only had one name, that is, the Ju'an Army!

Liu Ji's previous army can be called the Chengyin Army, but now even Shangyuan City, the county capital of Ju'an County, is controlled by Liu Ji, and it is a bit petty to call it the Chengyin Army, so Liu Ji called the army under his command the Ju'an Army in front of everyone.

In addition to the county capital Shangyuan City, there are six counties under Jue'an County, namely Chengyin County, Longchang County, Ningchuan County, Hezhi County, Moxi County and Baihe County, and now the army under Liu Ji has controlled Shangyuan City, Chengyin County and Longchang County.

Liu Ji called the army under his command the Jue'an Army, in fact, it also meant to annex the remaining four counties, and as Liu Ji's strength grew, his ambitions were slightly greater.

Liu Ji believes that if he can integrate all the forces of the six counties of Ju'an County and Shangyuan City, even if he is the three most powerful nomadic people on the grassland, even if the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan are the three most powerful nomads on the grassland, one of them will be able to compete with them when they come to find trouble, of course, excluding the Ju clan to attack, you must know that the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan, any one, can easily gather millions of cavalry troops.

After the banquet, Liu Ji met with some officers of the original Shangyuan City garrison alone, the first of which was Ding Lin, a partial general.

In the past two days, Liu Ji has not arranged the position of Ding Lin, a partial general, after all, in the current Jue'an army, except for Liu Ji, a guerrilla general, Ding Lin's military rank is the highest, and the commanders of the other battalions are all temporarily replacing the partial generals as captains.

The military system of the Great Jin Dynasty stipulates that generals at all levels can only accept the right to be a lieutenant in the troops under their command, and the military positions above the rank of lieutenant must be appointed by the Ministry of War, and only with the appointment document of the Ministry of War can it be counted.

In fact, none of the lieutenants of the battalions that Liu Ji privately admitted his fate have been recognized by the Great Jin Imperial Court, let alone promoted all the lieutenants to partial generals, so that Ding Lin is in the Jue'an Army, and his military rank is second only to Liu Ji.

In a study room in the Chengxi Mansion of Shangyuan City, Liu Ji said to Ding Lin with a smile: "General Ding, I have been thinking about what position to arrange you in the past two days, and now I think of two positions, I don't know which one you are willing to choose?" ”

Liu Ji looked at Ding Lin, and couldn't help but think of his three-dimensional value, Ding Lin, the force value is 45, the intelligence value is 86, and the commander value is 52.
