Although the ministers under Liu Ji's command thought that Lu Bukeng had killed more than 90,000 prisoners of war in the Sabbatarian Country, it would inevitably hurt the heavens, but seeing the emotional appearance of the lord Liu Ji, Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling, Fan Zeng, Li Ru, Chen Gong, Xun Yu and Xun You, who followed Liu Ji to the Western Regions, looked at each other, and no one came forward to talk about themselves.

Liu Ji turned his head to Jia Xu and asked, "What is the name of the army that slaughtered our 20,000 people in the city of Gaqim?" ”

Originally, Liu Ji's Heishuitai, which was responsible for intelligence work, was controlled by Liu Ji's two wives, Zhou Lanqi and Zhou Lanxin, but now that Zhou Lanqi and Zhou Lanxin have children, they don't have so much energy to deal with many things in Heishuitai, so this time after Liu Ji returned to Chengyin City's Capture General's Mansion, he asked Zhou Lanqi and Zhou Lanxin to gradually hand over the affairs of Heishuitai to Jia Xu and Du Ruhui, Liu Ji appointed Jia Xu as the commander of Heishuitai, and Du Ruhui as the deputy commander.

At present, Heishuitai has 7,000 households under the two commanders, the smallest one has more than 600 secret agents, and the three thousand households responsible for collecting intelligence in the Great Jin Dynasty have more than 1,000 secret agents.

Jia Xu immediately said: "Tell the lord that the army of the Sabbath country in Gaqim City is the sixth legion of the Sabbath country. ”

When Liu Ji heard the name of the Sixth Legion, the murderous aura in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and he said in a deep voice: "Convey my order to the 11th Cavalry Brigade, the 12th Cavalry Brigade and the 13th Cavalry Brigade of the Western Regions Legion in the Western Regions Protectorate, so that they can immediately rush to Shakhtinsk Province and temporarily be under the command of Lu Bu, and at the same time give Lu Bu an order, I don't want the Sixth Army Corps of the Sabbatarian State to leave Shakhtinsk Province!" ”

The 11th Cavalry Brigade, the 12th Cavalry Brigade and the 13th Cavalry Brigade of the Western Regions Legion are all newly formed troops, and at present, in the Western Regions Protectorate, the Western Regions Legion still has a total of five cavalry brigades and five infantry brigades, and the five cavalry brigades are all newly formed troops, but in order to form these five new cavalry brigades, Lian Po, the commander of the Western Regions Legion, has drawn a large number of officers and veterans from the original ten cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Legion, so these five newly formed cavalry brigades still have a certain combat effectiveness.

At this time, Lian Po suggested to Liu Ji: "My lord, do you need to mobilize a few more infantry brigades from the Western Regions Protectorate to Zhilisi City?" ”

Now the more than 3 million troops of Dawan and Cheshi are still besieging the three cities in the west of Huhesa Province, and there is no intention of advancing east to fight a decisive battle with the Broken Army in Zhilisi City, but according to the news sent by Heishuitai, the army of Dawan and Cheshi has not been strong in attacking the three cities in the west of Huhesa Province, and there is a little bit of siege but not attack.

Hearing Lian Po's suggestion, Liu Ji hesitated for a moment and asked Zhang Liang: "Zhang Liang, did you say that the armies of the Great Wan Kingdom and the Cheshi Kingdom will send the main force to come to Zhilisi City to start a decisive battle with our captive army?" ”

Zhang Liang said confidently: "Lord, we have four infantry brigades and two cavalry brigades in the three cities in the west of Huhesa Province, which means that each city has 240,000 troops, plus the grain and grass in the three cities are sufficient, the army of Dawan and Cheshi is impossible to capture these three cities in a short period of time. ”

Then Liu Ji pondered for a moment and said: "For the time being, there is no need to increase the number of troops to Cilic City, now in Cilic City, we have gathered fourteen cavalry brigades and twenty-six infantry brigades, with a total strength of up to one million and six thousand, but we can mobilize the five infantry brigades and the remaining two cavalry brigades in the Western Regions Protectorate to several cities on the western border of Jinzhou first, and be ready to reinforce Cilic City at any time." ”

In the city lord's mansion in Gaqim City, Shakhtinsk Province, Yasini, the Diamond-level Sacred Flame Guardian of the Holy Fire Sect, said in a deep voice to the commander of the Resting Country, Marquis Obaid, and the four commanders of the Resting Country: "According to the information obtained by our Holy Fire Sect, the more than 90,000 soldiers of the 22nd and 23rd Legions of the Resting Army captured by the Broken Army have all been ordered to be buried alive by a general of the Broken Army named Lu Bu. ”

At this time, the commander of the 23rd Legion of the Sabbatical Country, Goodes, said excitedly to the commander of the Sabbatical State, Marquis Obaide: "Lord Marquis, please give an order!" We must avenge the more than 90,000 soldiers of the Sabbatical Country! ”

Marquis Obaide, the commander of the Rest Country, smiled bitterly, and then turned his head to look at Yousuf, the commander of the Sixth Legion of the Rest Country, and couldn't help but regret a little in his heart that he agreed to let the Sixth Army slaughter the nearly 20,000 prisoners of the Broken Army, and the Broken Army buried more than 90,000 soldiers of the Rest Country alive this time, which was obviously a revenge for the Sixth Army's massacre of the prisoners of war.

Yusuf, the commander of the Sixth Legion, said at this time: "The blood debt must be repaid with blood, but the task of our Sabbath country this time is mainly to contain more broken army troops in Shakhtinsk Province, of course, it would be better if we could capture the entire Shakhtinsk Province, but unfortunately, looking at the current situation, the remaining troops of our Sabbath country should not be able to achieve the goal of capturing the entire Shakhtinsk Province." ”

Gudés, the commander of the Twenty-third Legion, then said angrily to Yusuf, the commander of the Sixth Legion, "Count Youssef, what do you mean by this? Isn't it revenge for the more than 90,000 soldiers of the Sabbatical Country? If it weren't for the fact that your Sixth Legion had killed nearly 20,000 prisoners of war of the Broken Army, how could the general of the Broken Army named Lu Bu bury alive more than 90,000 of our soldiers of the Rest Country! These more than 90,000 people were buried alive, and your Sixth Legion is responsible! ”

The commander of the Sixth Legion, Yusuf, pursed his lips and said with a sneer: "The two legions add up to only 200,000 people, but more than 90,000 people have been captured, Viscount Goodes, are you embarrassed to say anything responsible here!" ”

Gudés, the commander of the 23rd Legion, then stood up angrily, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and pointed at the commander of the 6th Legion, Yusuf, and shouted: "Yusuf, you bastard! Draw your sword and I'm going to duel with you! ”

Yusuf suddenly smiled contemptuously, and then said, "Goodes, duels are the work of barbarians, and I am not one of those hated nobles in the Western Continent. ”

Duels are very prevalent among the nobles of the Western Continent, and the Rest Country is close to the Europa Empire of the Western Continent, and some Western Continental habits have also spread to the territory of the Rest Country, such as duels between nobles in order to resolve conflicts.

Gudés shouted even more angrily, "Yusuf, you coward, don't you even dare to draw your sword?" ”

"Alright, stop arguing! Viscount Goodes, please put away your sword! Marquis Obaide, the commander of the Sabbatical Realm, suddenly said with a gloomy face.

Goodes didn't really want to duel with Yusuf, but what Yusuf said just now just hit his sore spot, which made Goodes a little annoyed, after all, the 23rd Legion of more than 100,000 people is now only in the early 20,000s, and Guddes, as the commander of the legion, should bear most of the responsibility.

At this time, the Marquis of Obaid spoke out to dissuade him, and just as he gave Goodes a step down, Goodes withdrew his sword from its scabbard, snorted coldly at Yusuf, and sat back in his chair.

Marquis Obaid, the commander of the Sabbat, coughed a little, and then said: "What Count Yusuf said is very reasonable, since the Broken Army has mobilized more than 100,000 cavalry into Shakhtinsk Province, then the remaining army of our Sabbatarian State has lost the opportunity to capture the remaining cities in Shakhtinsk Province. ”

Zafir, the commander of the 24th Legion, frowned at this time and said: "Since we want to defend Gaqim City, we had better let us bring more grain and grass from Orun Province to Gaqim City, and our legions did not carry too much food this time." ”

Although the Western Regions Four-Nation Alliance Army snatched a large amount of grain from the Gaochang civilians of Orun Province, this time, in order to facilitate the battle, the armies of the Western Regions Four-Nation Alliance did not carry too much grain and grass, and more grain was left in Orun Province.

The commander of the 25th Legion, Ziyad, also nodded and said: "The issue of food and grass should indeed be considered in advance, although the 22nd Legion and the 23rd Legion have suffered great losses, but our five legions still have almost 290,000 troops, once the Broken Army sends more troops to try to encircle and annihilate our five legions, we must be prepared to hold on to Gaqim City for a long time." ”

Yusuf, the commander of the Sixth Legion, suddenly said in a cold voice: "It's easy to get food, there are about seventy or eighty thousand civilians in Gaqim City, and the food in their hands is enough to support the remaining 290,000 troops of our Sabbath Country for several months. ”

Marquis Obaide, the commander of the Sabbatical State, asked with a look of shock on his face, "Count Yusuf, do you still want to do the affairs of the province of Oron in Gaqim City again?" ”

Yusuf shrugged his shoulders and said, "Why not?" Presumably, even the king of Gaochang Kingdom will not object to the army of our Sabbatical Kingdom to levy grain in Gaqim City! By the way, I suggest that we take advantage of the opportunity to levy food to get rid of all the civilians in Gaqim City, otherwise these 70,000 or 80,000 civilians will have to consume a lot of food every day! ”

Gudés, the commander of the 23rd Legion, sneered and said, "Yusuf, the Sixth Legion deserves to be called the Beast Army, it has just slaughtered nearly 20,000 prisoners of war from the Broken Army, and now it wants to slaughter 70,000 or 80,000 civilians in Gaqim City. ”

Yusuf glanced at Goodes with his eyes and said, "When your 23rd Legion was in the province of Oren, it seems that there were no fewer killings, and no less robberies among women, so don't pretend to be a decent man." ”

"Our 23rd Legion is still far worse than your Sixth Legion, the beast army, when you were in Oren Province, the Gaochang people who died in the hands of your Sixth Legion were at least more than 50,000 people." Goodes said angrily.

"Stop arguing! If you quarrel again, you two will get out of here! Marquis Obaide, the commander of the Sabbatical Nation, said with an angry look on his face, this room was not only the people of the Resting Country, but also the representatives of the Holy Fire Sect who had sent them to the army of the Resting Country.

Yusuf and Goodes, seeing that the Marquis of Obaid seemed to be really angry, immediately stopped squeaking, but just glanced at each other fiercely.

The commander of the Sabbatical Realm, Marquis Obaide, was silent for a long time before he asked the Flame Cult's diamond-level Flame Guardian Yasini, "Commander Yasini, I don't know what you think of Count Yusuf's idea?" ”

Ahini is the new head of the Holy Land Guard of the Eastern Diocese of the Holy Fire Cult, and although the Eastern Diocese has lost all its territory, Bishop Oss has re-established the Holy Land Guard of the Eastern Diocese.

Yasini said with a calm face: "This time, I led another Diamond-level Sacred Fire Guard, as well as three Gold-level Sacred Fire Guards, five Silver-level Sacred Fire Guards, and ten Bronze-level Sacred Fire Guards, to follow the army of the Sabbatarian Nation, just to assist in the battle, and to pass on some information that our Holy Fire Sect has obtained, such as the things suggested by Count Yusuf, it is up to Marquis Obaid." ”

Marquis Obaide, the commander of the Sabbatical Realm, then sighed and said, "I actually don't want to cause more killings, but for the sake of the final victory of our alliance of the four countries in the Western Regions against the Broken Army, we can only sacrifice some more civilians. ”

Seeing that Marquis Obayd agreed to his suggestion, Yusuf, the commander of the Sixth Legion, immediately said in surprise: "Marquis Obaide, our Sixth Legion is willing to complete the task of collecting grain in Gaqim City. ”

"Ahem, Marquis Obayd, our 24th Legion is also willing to enter the city of Gaqim and complete the task of collecting grain."

"Marquis Obayd, our Twenty-Fifth Legion is also willing to take on this task."

This time the requisition of food in the city of Gaqim will also deal with the 70,000 or 80,000 civilians in the city, which means that they can wantonly kill, rob property, and forcibly seize women, such things are great benefits for the officers and soldiers of the country of rest.

The Marquis of Obaid, the commander of the Sabbatical State, pondered for a moment and said: "In order to speed up the efficiency, the Sixth, Twenty-third, Twenty-fourth, and Twenty-fifth Legions will jointly launch a grain requisition operation, and try to restore peace to the city of Gaqim within two days!" ”

After a pause, the Marquis of Obayd said to Gudés, the commander of the 23rd Legion: "The remaining nearly 2,000 people of the 22nd Legion are all temporarily incorporated into your 23rd Legion, and the 22nd Legion can only wait until he returns to China and then ask His Majesty the King to reorganize." ”

When Gudés heard that there was a share of the 23rd Legion in the city of Gaqim, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, Marquis Obaid!" ”

On the afternoon of 12 June, there was a sudden chaos in the city of Jaqim, and the army of the Sabbatical State began to search the city from house to house, and a catastrophe befell the civilians of the city.
