The news that the nineteen nomads on the grassland are preparing to form a coalition to crusade against Liu Ji was brought back by the secret agents sent to the grassland by Heishuitai, although it is not yet known how many troops the grassland alliance will have this time, but the nineteen nomads include the Khitan, the overlord of the grassland who can easily gather a million cavalry.

Coupled with the five grassland powerhouses of Wuheng, Lou Fu, Rouran, Donghu and Dang Xiang, who can gather hundreds of thousands of cavalry, Liu Ji estimates that the strength of this grassland coalition army must be at least more than 500,000, even if it reaches one million, it is possible.

In the territory of Jue'an County, Liu Ji controls a county town and five county seats, Longchang County, which was originally destroyed by the grassland cavalry, has now been rebuilt, only Ningchuan City in Ningchuan County is still in the hands of the Fan family in Ningchuan City, and Liu Ji has not yet poured out time to solve the Fan family in Ningchuan City.

In addition, in the territory of Ju'an County, there are Xishan City and Weishan City, which has built half of it, and if the four county towns of Yongjing County are added, Liu Ji needs to send troops to guard eleven cities, which still excludes Weishan City, which has built half of it.

In the four counties of Ju'an County and Yongjing County, Liu Ji also had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, but if these hundreds of thousands of troops were scattered into eleven cities, there would be no tens of thousands of troops in each city.

"Su Lie, what do you think?"

"Tell the lord, my subordinates feel that it is better to take advantage of the fact that the Nineteen Tribes Grassland Alliance has not yet carried out an alliance, we will strike first, concentrate the cavalry troops, directly attack the grassland, and attack all the tribes of all the tribes participating in this Grassland Alliance, even if we can't mess up the Nineteen Tribes Grassland Alliance this time, we can also severely damage the strength of some nomads." Su Lie suggested to Liu Ji.

Liu Ji touched his chin, turned his head to Le Yi and asked, "Le Yi, what is your opinion on Su Lie's plan?" ”

Le Yi then said: "Lord, if you defend the city, the role of the cavalry is very small, Su Lie's plan, his subordinates think it is still feasible, in the face of the various nomads in the grassland, it is not possible to always defend passively, we can organize infantry and auxiliaries to guard the various cities while letting the cavalry troops attack the grassland, I intuitively think that the cavalry troops in the grassland, may be able to bring us a very big surprise." ”

Liu Ji nodded slowly and said: "The westward expansion army led by Lian Po has sent us back two cavalry battalions and 200,000 auxiliary soldiers, so that the army we can use is a lot more abundant, so according to Su Lie's plan, immediately transfer cavalry battalions from all over the country to prepare to attack the grassland." ”

Liu Ji brought back five cavalry battalions from the Western Regions, and there were eight cavalry battalions that were originally left in the four counties of Ju'an County and Yongjing County, plus the two cavalry battalions sent back by the Westward Advance Army, and the cavalry troops attacking the grassland could reach fifteen cavalry battalions.

Liu Ji thought about it for a while, and decided to form the grassland army with these fifteen cavalry battalions, with Su Lie as the commander of the grassland army, and the post of captain of the cavalry battalion before Su Lie was handed over to Ma Tielai, the captain of the guard battalion, to take over, and Liu Ji also transferred the 1,000 cavalry of the guard battalion to Su Lie to form a guard.

In order to maintain the mobility of the Grassland Legion, Liu Ji did not transfer any infantry battalion to the Grassland Legion, making the second regiment of the Ju'an Army much worse in terms of strength than the first westward expansion corps established, but Liu Ji also gave Su Lie the right to expand the army.

Su Lie's command value reached 91 points, and his intelligence value also reached 83 points, and Liu Ji was still very relieved to put the Grassland Legion in Su Lie's hands, and Liu Ji hoped that Su Lie could lead the Grassland Legion to become famous all over the world.

After subduing the four counties of Yongjing County, the 3,000 troops of Languan County, the 3,000 troops of Yaoguan County, the 4,000 troops of Xizhu County and the 5,000 troops of Xiping County were all transferred to Chengyin City for reorganization, and Liu Ji now transferred the 1,000 cavalry of the Guards Battalion to Su Lie, so that there were only more than 3,000 soldiers left in the Guards Battalion, so Liu Ji ordered that 15,000 border officers and soldiers from the four counties of Yongjing County be transferred to the Guards Battalion.

With the addition of the remaining 3,000 officers and soldiers of the Guards Battalion, the strength of the entire Guards Battalion swelled to more than 18,000, of which 3,000 were cavalry and the remaining 15,000 were foot soldiers.

Among the 15,000 border officers and soldiers, large and small, they were also absorbed into the guard battalion, of which there were four first-class generals, seven second-rate generals, and sixteen third-rate generals, most of whom were the sons of generals from the four counties.

For example, the four first-class generals in the 15,000 border army are Zhang Bao and Zhang Chi of the Zhang family in Languan County, Qu Tong of the Qu family in Yaoguan County, and Sun Yu of the Sun family in Xizhu County, all of whom are the children of the generals, and among the seven second-rate generals, there are five of the generals and sixteen third-rate generals, and there are 12 of the generals of the generals.

With so many generals of the generals, Liu Ji did not receive a hint of sincere allegiance from the system, but Liu Ji was not afraid that these generals would betray him, and the families of the four generals in Yongjing County could all be controlled by Liu Ji.

Considering that Su Lie's own martial arts are only at the level of first-class generals, Liu Ji also sent four puppet bodyguards under his command, including Liu Le with a force value of 98 points, Liu Yi with a force value of 99 points, Liu Zan with a force value of 98 points, and Liu Qi with a force value of 96 points, to Su Lie to act as Su Lie's personal guard, and at the same time can also increase the high-end combat power of the grassland legion.

After sending the four puppet bodyguards to Su Lie, there were only four puppet bodyguards left around Liu Ji, but there were still eight top generals in the guard camp, and Liu Ji was still relatively assured of his own safety.

There are as many as fifteen puppet pills in Liu Ji's hand, as long as he can capture an enemy whose force value reaches the top general, Liu Ji can increase the number of puppet bodyguards around him.

As soon as he came to doze off, someone sent a pillow, and the spies of Heishuitai actually used sweat medicine to catch nine Holy Fire Guardians of the Holy Fire Sect in Xizhu County, Yongjing County, and according to the confession, six of these nine Holy Fire Guards are diamond-level, and the remaining three are the most powerful assassins of the Holy Fire Sect although they are gold-level, but they are the most powerful assassins of the Holy Fire Sect, and the three assassins are all women, very beautiful women.

After Liu Ji got the news from Zhou Lanqi and Zhou Lanxin, Liu Ji immediately took four puppet bodyguards, as well as three thousand cavalry from the Guards Battalion, and several generals from the Guards Battalion, and hurried to Xizhu County.

Zhou Lanxin asked Zhou Lanqi, "Sister, the assassins of the Holy Fire Sect have been caught, why is the husband still in such a hurry?" ”

Zhou Lanqi sighed and said, "Alas, my husband has just brought back seven new sisters from the Western Regions, and this time I will add new sisters to us!" ”
