Chapter 633: King Yeman relented
After Liu Ji summoned Zhang Juzheng, Yang Tinghe, Zhang Xutuo, Li Chengliang, Lan Yu and five other top generals, he sent people to summon Bai Qi, Meng Tian, Li Cunxiao and many other generals to this palace, and introduced Zhang Juzheng and others to Bai Qi.
As for how Zhang Juzheng, Yang Tinghe, Zhang Xutuo, Li Chengliang, Lan Yu and the other five top generals suddenly appeared in the palace of Dawan City, Liu Ji's explanation can be described as very far-fetched, but none of them went to investigate it in vain.
Liu Ji asked the civil and military generals in the main hall: "Now that we have taken Dawan City, but the king of Dawan Kingdom, Yeman, has fled, what do you think we should do next?" β
Bai Qi immediately said: "Lord, after we capture the capital of Dawan Kingdom, Dawan Kingdom will definitely not give up, the king of Dawan Kingdom Yeman is likely to gather a large army to try to recapture Dawan City, our Broken Army currently has more than 1.4 million elite troops in Dawan City, plus the mountains of grain and grass in Dawan City, it is enough to block the attack of millions of Dawan Army." β
Liu Ji summoned a total of 93,600 Tang Dynasty Mo sword soldiers, 150,000 trapped camp soldiers, 320,000 Eastern Jin Dynasty Beifu soldiers, 360,000 Wei soldiers, 256,000 Ming Dynasty white pole soldiers and 380,000 Qin warriors, so far, these elite soldiers have lost nearly 140,000 people, but the total strength is still as high as 1.42 million.
Meng Tian continued: "If the Dawan Kingdom wants to recapture Dawan City, it must draw a large number of troops from Xiangzhou, the capital of the Western Regions, maybe we can use Dawan City as a bait to attract the main force of the Dawan Army, in that case, the troops of our Broken Army in Xiangzhou can be pushed all the way to Dawan City and start a decisive battle with the Dawan Army!" β
Bai Qi and Meng Tian's words made the generals in the hall bow their heads in agreement, and Liu Ji then turned his head to Zhang Juzheng, Yang Ting, and the two top ministers and asked, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Yang, what do you think about this?" β
Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth and said: "My lord, with the strength of our Broken Army, especially after the millions of troops in the southeast arrived at the Western Regions Protectorate, our Broken Army is fully capable of annexing the entire Great Wan Kingdom, but our Broken Army has just obtained the five southwestern states, seven southeastern states of the Great Jin Dynasty, as well as Meizhou and Yuzhou, and also won Luzhou, Jiangzhou, Fenzhou, Zezhou, Xianzhou, Daizhou, Lanzhou and Xinzhou from the hands of Lu State, so many newly acquired territories, with the civilian system of our Broken Army, It is already a very difficult thing to control these twenty-two states, and if you add the sixty-four provinces of the Dawan Kingdom, my subordinates are worried that our army will be overwhelmed. β
Listening to Zhang Juzheng's words, Liu Ji couldn't help but fall into contemplation, relying on the generals produced by the system, he can be said to be fierce generals under his command, even if there are dozens of generals who can block one side alone, but relatively speaking, the gap between the civil ministers who can govern the local area is very large.
Now Liu Ji has obtained fifty-one top-level Wenchen from the system, which is definitely not a few, but the territory of the Broken Army is too big now, and only fifty-one top-level Wenchen is like a drop in the bucket, but unfortunately the system has no other level of Wenchen in addition to the top Wenchen for Liu Ji to summon, and in the real world, the Wenchen recruited by the Broken Army is barely enough to maintain the operation of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, the Beiting Imperial Protectorate, and the five states of Guizhou, Pi, Qin, Xiang, and Fu. It is indeed not an easy task for Liu Ji to fully equip the civil servants of the 22 new states.
Liu Ji sighed and said: "Mr. Zhang is reasonable, although our Broken Army has the strength to annex the Great Wan Kingdom, but now is not the best time to annex the Great Wan Kingdom. β
Yang Tinghe said at this time: "My lord, since our Broken Army has the strength to annex the Dawan Kingdom, then it is okay to annex the Dawan Kingdom whenever it takes, and the subordinates suggest that this war with the Dawan Kingdom should be ended as soon as possible, and then entering Canglong City is the most important thing!" β
Hearing Yang Tinghe mention entering Canglong City, a gleam flashed in Liu Ji's eyes, "That can't be cheaper than the Dawan Kingdom, at least let the Dawan Kingdom cede to a few provinces of the Western Regions Protectorate, and even the territory of a dozen provinces!" β
Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, my lord, with Dawan City in the hands of our captive army, Dawan Kingdom will definitely have to cut off a few pieces of fat for us this time!" β
On the evening of June 5th, in the city of Areka in the east of Karawan Province of Dawan Kingdom, Yeman, the king of Dawan Kingdom, sighed and said to Duke Fawaz: "Lone is really incompetent, and he even let the Broken Army capture the capital of our Dawan Kingdom for the second time. β
The city of Dawan is located in the territory of Karawan Province, which is also the largest province in Dawan Province.
Duke Fawaz immediately said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, this time I brought back six cavalry regiments from Kedemila Province, and also brought back four cavalry regiments from Albayh Province, with these million cavalry, we will definitely be able to recapture Dawan City!" β
It is precisely because of the assistance of Duke Fawaz, who has rich experience in the battlefield, that the eldest prince Idriss was able to lead millions of Dawan troops in Xiangzhou against the Western Regions Legion, the Western Frontier Legion, the Xichang Legion, the Tiger Ben Army, the Xuanjia Soldiers, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the White Horse Congyi and the Beifu Soldiers in Xiangzhou.
This time, the eldest prince Idris learned that the Broken Army had attacked Dawan City again, and in a panic, he immediately asked Duke Fawaz to personally lead six cavalry corps back to Dawan Kingdom, but unfortunately Duke Fawaz and his troops had just arrived in Albayh Province, which was close to the province of Kedemila, and received the news that Dawan City had fallen.
King Yeman shook his head and said: "There are millions of broken captives in Dawan City, and it is impossible to capture Dawan City with only one million people you brought back, and there are only 150,000 cavalry of two cavalry legions and more than 4,000 palace guards by Lonely's side, alasββ"
Duke Fawaz pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince still has ten cavalry legions and ninety infantry legions in his hands, why don't you transfer back twenty infantry legions to counterattack Dawan City?" β
The twenty new infantry regiments formed in the second batch and the twenty new infantry regiments formed in the third batch have now entered the territory of Xiangzhou, making the total strength of the Dawan Kingdom in Xiangzhou has reached tens of millions, but most of the soldiers in the ninety infantry regiments are new recruits.
King Yeman hesitated for a moment and asked Duke Fawaz, "Fawaz, do you say that our Dawan Kingdom still has a chance to win this war with the Broken Army?" β
King Yeman's question couldn't help but make Duke Fawaz stunned, Duke Fawaz was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, although we have gathered more than 10 million troops in Kedemila Province, but most of them are new soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is a world of difference compared with the elite troops of the Broken Army. We have almost no chance of winning. β
King Yeman nodded slowly and said: "After Dawan City was captured by the Broken Army, I thought a lot, this time it was originally our Dawan Kingdom and several nomadic strong clans in the grassland and the Qingyi tribe of 100,000 mountains to jointly declare war on the Broken Army, and now the strong clans of the grassland and the Qingyi tribe have been defeated, and only our Dawan Kingdom is left to deal with the Broken Army with its own strength, it is really too difficult, you must know that even the Lu State in the east has been defeated in the hands of the Broken Army, and the strength of the Lu State is even better than our Dawan State. β
Duke Fawaz said with a wry smile: "The strength of the Broken Army is indeed too strong, before we and the grassland several strong clans and the Qingyi tribe jointly sent troops to fight against the Broken Army, as a result, the Broken Army divided by two to clean up the coalition of several strong clans in the grassland, and even the Xianbei tribe, which ranked second in strength on the grassland, was swallowed up by the Broken Army. was forced to marry Liu Ji. β
Duke Fawaz mentioned the princess of Lu State, and couldn't help but make the corners of King Yeman's mouth tremble, and King Yeman suddenly thought of the thousands of princesses who stayed in the palace of Dawan City, according to Liu Ji's lustful temperament, King Yeman knew that the thousands of princesses he had recruited in the past two years would definitely be occupied by Liu Ji.
When he was about to flee from the palace, King Yeman was a little hesitant to deal with thousands of princesses, because he was fleeing for his life, and taking these thousands of delicate women was equivalent to bringing a very big burden, so King Yeman decided to put all the thousands of princesses to death, otherwise these thousands of princesses would definitely fall into the hands of Liu Ji.
But King Yeman's decision was dissuaded by the Prime Minister of Dawan State, Safowan, precisely because Liu Ji was lustful, so Prime Minister Safowan hoped that King Yeman would leave thousands of princesses behind, otherwise after the Broken Army captured the palace, Liu Ji was likely to be annoyed and angry, and it would be even more difficult to negotiate peace with the Broken Army in the future.
When King Yeman was about to flee from the palace, the prime minister of Dawan State, Safwan, had already persuaded King Yeman to end this war with the Broken Army as soon as possible, no matter if Dawan Kingdom paid some price for it, otherwise the situation of this war would be more and more unfavorable to Dawan Kingdom.
King Yeman asked Duke Fawaz in a deep voice, "If we want to end this war with the Broken Army, will the Broken Army agree?" β
Duke Fawaz thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, even if the Broken Army agrees to end the war with our Dawan Kingdom, it will definitely put forward some harsh conditions, after all, this war was provoked by our Great Wan Kingdom, and the advantages of this war are all in the hands of the Broken Army, and even the capital of our Dawan Kingdom has now been captured by the Broken Army." β
King Yeman sighed and said, "Gu is ready to be blackmailed by the Broken Army, and this war cannot continue no matter what, otherwise our Dawan Kingdom may have to lose even its pants in the end." β
Duke Fawaz breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Majesty, if you can think like this, I can rest assured, now that the momentum of the Broken Capture Army is flourishing, it is better for our Dawan Kingdom to avoid it, and wait for the opportunity in the future, and our Dawan Kingdom will settle the general account with the Broken Army!" β
King Yeman nodded and said, "Yes! Even if our Dawan Kingdom admits defeat this time, it doesn't mean that our Dawan Kingdom is really afraid of the Broken Army, and when our Dawan Army's combat effectiveness is strong in the future, Lone will definitely find the Broken Army for revenge! β
Duke Fawaz then asked, "Your Majesty, how did the Broken Army get a million troops into Dawan City this time?" β
King Yeman smiled bitterly and said, "The million-strong army of the Broken Prisoner Army seems to have emerged from the ground, and until now, Gu has not figured out how so many Broken Prisoner Army entered Dawan City!" β
Duke Fawaz sighed and said, "We must find out about this matter, otherwise once we start a war with the Broken Army in the future, Dawan City will still be in danger of being captured by the Broken Army!" β
After King Yeman decided to end the war with the Breakers, he immediately ordered the eldest prince Idris to lead ten cavalry regiments and ninety infantry regiments to withdraw from the territory of the Breakers, that is, the territory of Xiangzhou, the capital of the Western Regions.
At the same time, King Yeman sent people to Dawan City, ready to negotiate with the Broken Army in Dawan City, King Yeman has learned that Liu Ji, the commander of the Broken Army, is in Dawan City at this time, and this time the Broken Army attacked Dawan City, and Liu Ji personally led the troops.
Originally, Liu Ji was thinking about ending this war with Dawan, but he didn't expect that the people of Dawan took the initiative to send it to the door, so where would Liu Ji be polite, and directly opened his mouth and asked Dawan for the territory of his twenty provinces, as well as the war reparations of 200 million taels of gold.
King Yeman learned of the armistice conditions offered by the Broken Army, and angrily took a knife to chop a study into tatters, and finally Duke Fawaz persuaded King Yeman, "Your Majesty is angry, the Broken Army is just asking for a price, presumably the Broken Army also knows that we will not agree to such harsh conditions, we can bargain with the Broken Army, as for how much our Dawan Kingdom needs to pay to end this war, the key is a 'talk'!" β
"Fawaz, then the negotiation matter will be handled by you, and let us pay as little as possible!"
"Your Majesty, what's the bottom line in your heart?"
"Up to ...... At most, it will be ceded to five provinces of the Broken Army, and the amount of gold compensated cannot exceed 20 million! β
"Your Majesty, the minister can only say do his best!"
