In front of the hospital bed of Zhang Chutao, the former Taishou of Ji'an County, Liu Ji asked the system whether the Soul Rejuvenation Pill could cure Zhang Chutao's illness, but unfortunately the system told Liu Ji that the information was missing and could not determine whether the Soul Rejuvenation Pill was effective for the person in front of him.

"Ahem, cough, ahem, virtuous son-in-law, you're back, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem......, ahem, along, ahem cough cough cough - you must take care of Wanting's mother and son, cough cough cough - " The skinny Zhang Chutao lay on the bed and said to Liu Ji while coughing violently.

"Father-in-law, this time I got a miracle medicine in the capital, which may be able to cure your illness." Saying that, Liu Ji took out a soul rejuvenation pill and helped Zhang Chutao take it.

After taking the Soul Rejuvenation Pill, Zhang Chutao quickly fell asleep, Liu Ji instructed the servants to take care of Zhang Chutao, and then left Zhang Chutao's room, because of Zhang Chutao's condition, Zhang Chutao has been living in the General Mansion, so it is more convenient to take care of it.

On the second day after Zhang Chutao took the Soul Rejuvenation Pill, his condition improved suddenly, not only did he not cough, but he was able to sit up on his own, which made Liu Ji finally breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that the Soul Rejuvenation Pill is really useful for Zhang Chutao's condition, and it is worthy of being called a healing medicine by the system.

On April 20, 428 of the Great Jin Dynasty, just on the third day after returning to Chengyin City, Liu Ji took two cavalry brigades and thirty infantry brigades of the Guards Legion, as well as four cavalry brigades and seven infantry brigades of the local legion, as well as the first infantry brigade of the Western Regions Legion and the first cavalry brigade of the Grassland Legion, plus 200,000 auxiliaries to escort grain and grass, and rushed to the Western Regions Protectorate.

In an inn in a town outside Chengyin City, Liu Yan, the deputy palace master of Kaiyang Palace, sighed and said to Li Qin, the palace master of Kaiyang Palace: "Palace master, the general's mansion in Chengyin City is heavily guarded, and we have no chance to assassinate Liu Ji at all. ”

Lin Xien, another deputy palace master of Kaiyang Palace, hesitated for a moment and said to palace master Li Qin: "Palace master, Sister Liu is reasonable, there is a chance to take Liu Ji's life, and there is no need to rush for a while, the big war between the Broken Army and the four major powers in the Western Regions is about to break out, let's return to Guanghan Palace first!" ”

Li Qin, the palace master of Kaiyang Palace, shook his head and said categorically: "We continue to follow Liu Ji to the Western Regions Protectorate, since we have all wasted so much time on Liu Ji, we must get rid of this big trouble for our Guanghan Palace, and when the big war between the Broken Army and the four great powers of the Western Regions starts, maybe we will have a chance!" ”

Liu Yan and Lin Xien, the deputy palace masters of Kaiyang Palace, heard the palace master Li Qin say this, so they all nodded, they all knew the character of the palace master Li Qin, as long as Li Qin decided, the eight cows would not be able to pull it back.

Just when Liu Ji set off from Chengyin City with a large army, far away in the palace of Gaochang City, the capital of Gaochang Kingdom, Mujshid, the king of Gaochang Kingdom, slammed a teacup on the ground, "Are the three governors going to rebel?" Why have no troops been sent into the Shakhtinsk, Hohsa, and Lisakos provinces so far? ”

Prime Minister Meng Tai Sui'er immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the delay in sending troops from the three governors seems to be to ask for benefits from His Majesty the King, after all, the twelve provinces and twenty-eight vassal states occupied by the Broken Capture Army do not border the jurisdiction of their three governors, and the three governors should be unwilling to send troops in vain. ”

King Mujshid gritted his teeth and said: "The three governors have become less and less concerned about this king, if it weren't for the separation of each prefecture and this king, so that our Gaochang Kingdom could not concentrate all its forces together, the twelve provinces and twenty-eight vassal states would not be forcibly occupied by the Broken Army, and the Eastern Governorate would not disappear, hum——"

Prime Minister Meng Tai Suier paused for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, are we giving some benefits to the three governors?" ”

"No! The king will eat them all of the twelve provinces and the twenty-eight vassals! ”

"But Your Majesty, we have promised to send at least a million troops to join this holy war against the Broken Army!"

"Immediately requisition 400,000 young men in eight provinces for this king, and then concentrate them in Shakhtinsk Province, Huhesa Province and Lisakos Province, and expand it into the army, this king does not need the three prefectures to send troops, and he can still gather enough troops for one million!"

Prime Minister Meng Tai Suier said with some embarrassment at this time: "Your Majesty, another 400,000 young people will be recruited at this time, which will definitely affect this year's spring ploughing. ”

King Mujhid waved his hand and said: "At present, the holy war against the captive army is the most important thing, this king now has only 900,000 troops in his hands, and 600,000 have been deployed in Shakhtinsk Province, Huhesa Province and Lisakos Province, the remaining 300,000 troops must not be used easily, and can only be requisitioned from the young and strong people in each province, even if the grain production is reduced this year." ”

Prime Minister Meng Tai Sui'er then nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way!" Your Majesty, the ministers immediately issued an order to the provinces to recruit young and strong! ”

King Mujhid then asked the Prime Minister Mengtai Suier, "How many of the armies of the Great Wan, Cheshi, and Anxi have arrived in Huhesa Province?" ”

This time, the main force of the four-nation alliance will gather in Huhesa Province, and then launch an attack on the Western Regions Protectorate from Huhesa Province.

"Back to His Majesty the King, at present, only three cavalry legions and more than 20,000 auxiliaries of the Dawan Kingdom, as well as one legion of the Cheshi Kingdom, have entered the Huhesa Province."

"It seems that Dawan, Cheshi, and the Three Kingdoms of Anxi, as well as their vassal countries, can send all their troops to Huhesa Province within one or two months, and we will recruit 400,000 young people, and the time should be enough."

At the same time, in a Western Regions Legion camp outside Xiaolan City, the capital of Jinzhou, the capital of the Western Regions, Lian Po, the commander of the Western Regions Legion, summoned the commanders of all brigades stationed near Xiaolan City, including the commanders of the four cavalry brigades, Gao Chong, Shi Wansui, Guan Ying and Yingbu, and the commanders of the eight infantry brigades, Wu Han, Jia Fu, Kou Sui, Zhu You, Du Mao, Jing Dan, Geng Chun and Xianzun, the commanders of these eight infantry brigades, all of whom were military generals among the 28 generals of Yuntai in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Lian Po said with some emotion: "The lord brought us two cavalry brigades and thirty infantry brigades of the Guards Legion this time, four cavalry brigades and seven infantry brigades of the Native Legion, five cavalry brigades of the Grassland Legion, as well as the First Infantry Brigade of our Western Regions Legion, and 200,000 auxiliaries to escort grain and grass, the total strength will exceed two million!" Counting the fifteen cavalry brigades and thirty infantry brigades of our Western Regions Legion, as well as the garrison battalions of the various cities in the Western Regions Protectorate, the army gathered by our Broken Capture Army is no less than the four major powers of the Western Regions! ”

Yingbu said at this time: "Marshal, since the lord has already made a plan to take the initiative, why don't our Western Regions Legion take advantage of the fact that the main armies of Dawan, Cheshi, and Anxi have not arrived in Gaochang Kingdom and choose to strike first!" ”

Lian Po clapped his hands and said, "Ben Shuai has this intention!" According to the information obtained by Heishuitai, at present, in the Shakhtinsk Province, Huhesa Province, and Lisakos Province of Gaochang State, in addition to the 600,000 troops of King Mujhid of Gaochang State, there are only three cavalry regiments of Dawan State and one regiment of Cheshi State, three cavalry regiments of Dawan State have 150,000 cavalry, and one army of Cheshi State has about 80,000 people. ”

Shi Wansui followed and said: "The soldiers are fast, the commander gives the order!" ”

Lian Po said loudly: "The two infantry brigades of Geng Chun and Xianzun will stay in Xiaolan City, and the remaining four cavalry brigades and six infantry brigades will follow the commander to wave troops to the Huhesa Province of Gaochang State, and immediately order the cavalry brigades of Long Ji, Zhang Xiu, and Huaxiong, as well as the infantry brigades of Cho Qi, Ma Cheng, Chen Jun, and Jian Rong, to launch an attack on Shakhtinsk Province of Gaochang State!" The cavalry brigade of Du Ning, Xiao Feng, and Luo Kun, as well as the infantry brigade of Li Xin, Meng Wu, Qiu Rui, and Yu Tai, launched an attack on the province of Lisakax in Gaochang State! ”

After a pause, Lian Po continued: "The five cavalry brigades and ten infantry brigades newly formed by our Western Regions Legion, as well as the two infantry brigades of Geng Chun and Xianzun, plus the three infantry brigades of Wang Ba, Li Zhong and Fu Jun, are used as the general reserve!" ”

Three days later, on April 23, 428 of the Great Jin Dynasty, ten cavalry brigades and fourteen infantry brigades of the Western Regions Legion of the Broken Army suddenly launched an attack on the provinces of Shakhtinsk, Huhesa, and Lisakos in Gaochang.

The army of Mujshid, the king of Gaochang Kingdom, did not expect the Western Regions Legion to strike first, but was taken by surprise, and many cities close to the Western Regions Protectorate were attacked by the troops of the Western Regions Legion, and a large number of Gaochang troops were surrounded and annihilated.

In just four days, Shakhtinsk Province and Lisakos Province, which had not many troops, were all captured by the Western Regions Army, and about 200,000 Gaochang ** troops in these two provinces, about 150,000 were annihilated, of which almost 120,000 became prisoners of the Western Regions Army, and the remaining 50,000 fled back to the Oren Province of Gaochang State.

The province of Oren is one of the five provinces under the direct jurisdiction of King Mujshid, just west of the provinces of Shakhtinsk, Khokhsa and Lisakos, with an area of 180,000 square kilometers and a population of about 1.5 million.

In Huhesa Province, in the face of the surprise attack of the Western Regions Army, Dawan Kingdom has entered the three cavalry corps and more than 20,000 auxiliary soldiers in Huhesa Province, as well as a legion of Cheshi State entering Huhesa Province, directly leaving the army of Gaochang State and retreating to Orun Province.

The Gaochang ** team arranged 400,000 troops in Huhesa Province, and the Western Regions Legion that attacked Huhesa Province only had four cavalry brigades and six infantry brigades, and the total strength was about 400,000, but on the sixth day of the Western Regions Legion's attack, all nine cities in the entire territory of Huhesa Province also fell into the hands of the Western Regions Army, and nearly 300,000 of the 400,000 troops of Gaochang were annihilated, of which more than 250,000 were captured, and only 100,000 troops fled back to Orun Province in embarrassment.

In fact, if it weren't for the escape of the armies of Dawan and Cheshi, which affected the morale of Gaochang's ** team, the 400,000 troops deployed by Gaochangguo in Huhesa Province would not have performed so badly.

It took six days to capture the last three provinces of the former Eastern Governor's Mansion of Gaochang State, and the total losses of the various brigades of the Western Regions Army were less than 10,000 people, of which the number of killed was only a little more than 5,000.

With such a big victory, the generals of the Western Regions Legion certainly hoped to continue to expand the results of the battle, but at this time, information came from Heishuitai that the six infantry legions and about 300,000 auxiliaries of the Dawan Kingdom had entered the Olun Province of the Gaochang Kingdom, and the Cheshi Kingdom also had three legions, and they had just arrived in the Olun Province of the Gaochang Kingdom.

After learning of this information, Lian Po, the commander of the Western Regions Army, immediately ordered all brigades to stop continuing the offensive in Oren Province, and at the same time transferred the ten newly formed infantry brigades of the Western Regions Army to several cities west of Shakhtinsk, Huhesa, and Lisakos provinces to help defend the cities.

In the royal palace of Gaochang City, the capital of Gaochang Kingdom, Mujshid, the king of Gaochang Kingdom, smashed more than a dozen teacups in a row, and shouted while smashing teacups: "Waste! It's all rubbish! 600,000 troops, in just six days, lost all three provinces! This king will cut down all the generals who have fled! ”

Prime Minister Meng Tai Suier sighed at this time and said: "His Majesty the King was angry, I didn't expect that the army of the Broken Capture Army did not take into account the peace treaty signed by the two sides at all, and said that it would be fought, and the army of our three provinces was a little caught off guard, plus the Dawan ** team and the Che Shi ** team of Huhesa Province retreated to Olun Province, so that the three provinces quickly fell, fortunately, the six infantry corps and 300,000 auxiliaries of Dawan State, as well as the three legions of Cheshi Country, rushed to Oren Province in time, otherwise with the strength we arranged in Orun Province, maybe even the province of Oren can't hold it. ”

Prime Minister Mengtai Suier still didn't say a word, in fact, if it weren't for the Dawan ** team and the Che Shi ** team coming, the remaining five provinces under the jurisdiction of King Mujshid would have to be lost.

Although the army under the command of King Mujshid, after several months of reorganization, has been quite effective, but because of the battle with the Broken Army a few months ago, the elite troops under the command of King Mujshid were almost lost, so now the army under the command of King Mujshid, in the face of the elite of the Broken Army, there is still a big gap in combat effectiveness, after all, many Gaochang soldiers are recruits who have been in the army for a few months.

Mujshid, the king of Gaochang Kingdom, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't mention the armies of the Dawan Kingdom and the Cheshi Kingdom to this king, if they hadn't fled suddenly, Huhesa Province would not have been lost so quickly!" ”
