In the Captured General's Mansion in Chengyin City, Xiao He, Du Ruhui and many military generals who stayed in Chengyin City heard that Liu Ji had expanded the size of the Guards Legion to two cavalry brigades and thirty infantry brigades, and their eyes all showed a look of unloading.

In the past two months, the alliance of the four major powers in the Western Regions, as high as five million, was like a mountain, pressing on the hearts of everyone in the General's Mansion.

As the main force guarding the Western Regions Protectorate, although after emergency expansion, the establishment has reached fifteen cavalry brigades and thirty infantry brigades, with a total strength of about 1.8 million, plus the soldiers and horses of the garrison battalions of each city in the Western Regions Protectorate, it can reach about two million, but compared with the number of five million, there is still a huge gap.

The other two main legions of the Broken Army, the native legion with five cavalry brigades and ten infantry brigades, can send some more troops to the Western Regions Protectorate, but the Grassland Legion, which has twenty cavalry brigades and five infantry brigades, will not be able to draw too many troops to the Western Regions Protectorate because of the huge threat of the nomads on the grassland.

The Native Legion and the Grassland Legion can finally support the troops of the Western Regions Protectorate, which is about 600,000 or 700,000 people, plus the entire Western Regions Legion and the garrisons of each city, compared with the coalition forces of the four major powers in the Western Regions, there is still a big gap in strength.

Now with the addition of the two cavalry brigades and thirty infantry brigades of the Guards Legion, although the strength of the Broken Army in the Western Regions is still inferior to the combined forces of the four major powers in the Western Regions, the gap is not so unacceptable.

Du Ruhui suggested to Liu Ji: "My lord, the four counties of Ju'an County and Yongjing County, as the rear of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate and the Northern Courtyard Metropolitan Protectorate, should not face any war in a short period of time, so my subordinates think that most of the troops of the local legion can be transferred to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate." ”

Liu Ji nodded and said: "The local army has five cavalry brigades and ten infantry brigades, I think four of them can be transferred to the Western Regions Protectorate, the four counties of Ju'an County and Yongjing County, there is one cavalry brigade and three infantry brigades to guard, there should be no big chaos." ”

Le Yi, the commander of the local legion, immediately clasped his fists at Liu Ji and said, "Don't worry, my lord, our native legion has left one cavalry brigade and three infantry brigades, which is enough to ensure the safety of the four counties of Ju'an County and Yongjing County. ”

At this time, Xiao He said to Liu Ji: "Lord, the grassland has been a little unpeaceful recently, from the grassland legion, it is best to draw some troops less, some tribes of the Xianbei people have actually moved to the grassland north of our Beiting Protectorate." ”

When Liu Ji heard the Xianbei people, he couldn't help frowning, the Xianbei tribe is one of the three major nomadic peoples, with millions of cavalry, and even surpasses the Khitan tribe in terms of overall strength, only slightly weaker than the Xiongnu.

The northern part of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate was originally the grassland of the Dangxiang clan, and the territory of the Xianbei tribe is not bordered by the Dangxiang clan, and it is at least hundreds of miles away.

Liu Ji frowned and asked Xiao He, "Where are the few nomads who lived north of the Beiting Protectorate before?" Did the Xianbei clan invade our Beiting Protectorate? ”

Xiao He said: "My lord, the few nomads north of the Beiting Protectorate before, I don't know why, they all moved to other places on the grassland, which made many tribes of the Xianbei tribe occupy a large area of grassland north of the Beiting Protectorate. ”

Liu Ji immediately shook his head and said: "The Great Jin Dynasty has canceled the mutual market with the nomads of the grassland for hundreds of years, although our Broken Army has its own line, but in this matter of the mutual market, we must be cautious, if people say that our Broken Army is colluding with the Hu people in private, we can't tell." ”

At the beginning of the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty used cloth, tea, and medicinal materials to barter with the nomads of the grassland, in exchange for the war horses, cattle and sheep of the nomads of the grassland, but later, as the nomads continued to send troops into the northern parts of the Great Jin Dynasty to fight the autumn wind, the Great Jin Dynasty finally banned this bartering market.

For hundreds of years, the trade between the Great Jin Dynasty and the grassland has become mainly smuggling, and many families and wealthy families of the Great Jin Dynasty have made a fortune by smuggling to the nomadic tribes of the grassland, like the top thirteen families of the Great Jin Dynasty, in this smuggling feast, took most of the cake.

After a pause, Liu Ji continued: "Since the Xianbei clan has arrived at the edge of our Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, then the Grassland Legion really can't send too many troops to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, so let the Grassland Legion transfer five cavalry brigades first!" In addition, let Heishui Taijia send people to monitor the movements of the Xianbei clan! ”

Next, Liu Ji and Zhang Liang, Xiao He and other thirteen top ministers, as well as many military generals, carefully discussed the strategy of dealing with the four major powers in the Western Regions, among which Zhang Liang proposed a plan, which was approved by Liu Ji and many military generals.

This time, the four major powers of the Western Regions jointly sent troops, as well as the armies of some of the vassal countries of the four major powers, the strength of the troops is too large, so it is not so easy to assemble, from the four great powers of the Western Regions decided to join the holy war organized by the Holy Fire Sect, more than two months have passed now, but the armies of the four major powers of the Western Regions have not yet completed the assembly in the territory of Gaochang Kingdom.

As the first power in the Western Regions, Dawan is ready to send six cavalry legions, twelve infantry legions and 500,000 auxiliaries, a total of two million troops to join this holy war.

Only the 600,000 troops directly under King Mujshid of Gaochang have been deployed in the provinces of Shakhtinsk, Huhesa, and Lisakos to the west of the Western Regions Protectorate, and the troops that King Mujhid has recruited from the other three governors of Gaochang have not yet rushed to these three provinces.

Zhang Liang suggested that since a major war was unavoidable, it was better to take advantage of the enemy's failure to complete the assembly, choose to take the initiative to attack, and burn the flames of war to the territory of Gaochang Kingdom.

Liu Ji finally said in a deep voice to the many Wenchen generals under his command: "The Guards Legion rested outside Chengyin City for two days, and immediately rushed to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, the four cavalry brigades and seven infantry brigades drawn by the local legion, as well as the First Infantry Brigade of the Western Regions Legion and the First Cavalry Brigade of the Grassland Legion, also rushed to Jinzhou in the territory of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, and the other four cavalry brigades of the Grassland Legion also let them rush to Jinzhou as soon as possible, and strive to catch the four major powers of the Western Regions by surprise!" ”

The Golden Prefecture of the Western Regions Protectorate was formed by the merger of the Tatar Kelz Province, the Timirtau Province, the Almaz Province and the Jezkazgan Province of the former Eastern Governor of the Gaochang State, with a total area of more than 300,000 square kilometers.

After discussing the plan to take the initiative, Liu Ji went to the backyard of the general's mansion to meet his wife and concubines and children.

When Liu Ji led his troops to the southeast of the Great Jin Dynasty to quell the rebellion, his wife Zhang Wanting and his wives Zhou Lanqi and Lin Xiya, as well as the two Uighur concubines Gulyati and Hanina, the two concubines of Zhu Qi's country, Nadeva and Aisha, and the Holy Fire Sect's Agu Yili, Anyina, Bailaigais and Nafise, a total of twelve wives and concubines, one of whom gave birth to a son to Liu Ji.

Liu Ji's flat wives Zhou Lanxin and Lin Xiwen, the concubine Fadini of Zhu Qiguo, the concubine Su Hena of the Loufu clan, and Nibali, Musir and Zhennani of the Holy Fire Sect gave birth to a daughter for Liu Ji, and Liu Ji had nineteen biological flesh and blood in this world at once.

Among the concubines, Yasmine, Seřisia, Sophia, Rukani, Libabuna, Sasemira, Anice, and Shibanas from the Holy Fire Cult, as well as Sekna, Olegis, and Doharia from the Loufu clan, as well as Abrani and Asyama from the Dangxiang clan, are all pregnant, and in the future, Liu Ji's relatives will increase by more than a dozen.

In the room of his wife Zhang Wanting, Liu Ji looked at his son, who was almost three months old, hugged Zhang Wanting and said: "Wanting, I have worked hard for you, this time in order to quell the rebellion of the Red Turban Army, even if you gave birth to a child, your husband was not by your side, it is really ...... Alas—"

Zhang Wanting said with a smile: "Husband, Wanting doesn't mind, not to mention that Husband is trying to help the court quell the rebellion this time, if there is no husband to lead troops to the southeast, millions of red turban troops will not easily submit to the court, then the people of the seven states in the southeast should suffer." ”

Liu Ji hugged Zhang Wanting tighter and asked, "Has our son named him?" ”

Zhang Wanting shook her head and said, "My father said that the children born to our son and other sisters have to be named by you. ”

Liu Ji pondered for a while and said, "Then our son will be called Liu Poyu!" ”

Zhang Wanting heard the name given by Liu Ji to her son, and her eyes lit up, you must know that the army under Liu Ji's command is called the Broken Army, and now the two of them are named Liu Poyu, obviously there is a meaning of cultivating their sons and becoming the successors of the Broken Army, so Zhang Wanting said coquettishly: "This name is good, I hope that when my son grows up, he can become a big hero like his husband." ”

Liu Ji smiled and didn't speak, Liu Poyu is Liu Ji's eldest son, if there is no accident, Liu Poyu is the heir to Liu Ji's career, of course, if Liu Poyu grows up and is overwhelmed, then it's another matter.

Liu Ji then diverted the topic and said: "This time, the Queen Mother gave Princess Xiangcheng to marry me, and Wanting and Princess Xiangcheng will be wives in the future, regardless of size, which is also the Queen Mother's will." ”

Zhang Wanting said with a smile: "Don't worry, Wanting will become good sisters with Princess Xiangcheng, help Husband manage the back house, to be honest, there are too many wives and concubines for Husband, Wanting is worried that she can't manage it!" ”

Zhang Wanting's words made Liu Ji smile awkwardly, this time Liu Ji led his troops to the southeast to quell the rebellion, but he gained a lot of stunning beauties.

From the capital, Liu Ji got Gu Xiaowan, Dong Hongyu, Ma Shishi, Cheng Xiaoxiao, Qin Yuechan, Lu Xiangru, Wang Jingxiang, Shu Yuting, Shi Jiezhen and Pan Tingting, a total of ten stunning beauties, they had been escorted back to Chengyin City by Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, three first-class generals in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and nine hundred Wei soldiers.

Liu Ji was in Qinhuai City in Suzhou, and got the twelve golden hairpins of Qinhuai and fourteen other stunning beauties from Qinglou, and these twenty-six beauties were safely sent back to Chengyin City by Xin Wenli, Shang Shifu, three first-class generals in the Tang Dynasty and eight hundred tigers and leopards.

This time, Liu Ji personally brought back the top ten oirans of Huai'an City and seventeen stunning beauties from Qinglou, as well as the princess of Xiangcheng and twelve good-looking palace maids.

In fact, Zhang Wanting didn't know that this was not counting the many beauties in Guanghan Palace, there were already four deputy palace masters and twelve personal disciples in Guanghan Palace, who were hugged by Liu Ji to bed.

"By the way, how's my father-in-law's illness?"

The smile on Zhang Wanting's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, "The doctor said, father...... Father didn't have many days left. ”

Liu Ji suddenly thought of something, but opened his mouth and didn't say anything to Zhang Wanting, Liu Ji felt that this matter, for the time being, it was better not to tell Zhang Wanting for the time being, so as not to be happy in the end.

Liu Ji then went to see his wife and concubines and children one by one, and named the other eleven sons and seven daughters.

After that, Liu Ji went to his father Liu Hao to say goodbye, Liu Hao looked at Liu Ji and said with relief: "Have the children seen it?" ”

Liu Ji nodded and said, "I've gone to see it, and the names have all been named!" ”

"Wanting's son, what's the name?"

"Father, his name is Liu Poyu!"

"Liu Poyu! Yes, that's a good name, and it's just right for your Broken Army! Xiaoji, there is one thing you must remember, Wanting's son must be the heir to your career in the future! ”

Liu Ji understood that his father Liu Hao had a deep relationship with Zhang Wanting's father Zhang Chutao, so he nodded and said: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely train the captives to become a qualified commander of the captives." ”

Liu Hao sighed and said: "It's a pity that your father-in-law can't see that Poyu has grown up, and General Zhang can't even get out of bed now, alas——"

Liu Ji suddenly said: "By the way, father, I got a miracle medicine in the capital this time, maybe I can save my father-in-law's life!" ”

Liu Ji said that the magic medicine is the soul renewal pill, according to the introduction of the system, as long as the person still has a breath, the soul renewal pill can save the person, Liu Ji does not know whether the soul renewal pill has any effect on Zhang Chutao's condition, but Liu Ji decided to give Zhang Chutao a soul rejuvenation pill to give it a try.

"Dead horses should be live horse doctors! General Zhang is like this now, it's so uncomfortable to look at his father! Liu Hao didn't think that the magic medicine Liu Ji said could really save Zhang Chutao.
