After completely annexing the Great Zhou Kingdom, Liu Ji returned to Canglong City with his troops, but he didn't expect that there was a surprise waiting for him in Canglong City.

Kunlun Mountain sent two elders and twelve Dharma protectors to assassinate Liu Ji, but unfortunately they were discovered by Heishuitai again, and then the people of Heishuitai used special effects to sweat medicine to stun the two elders and twelve Dharma protectors of Kunlun Mountain.

Liu Ji returned to Canglong City to check on this group of Kunlun Mountain masters who were captured, and felt very happy, the two elders of Kunlun Mountain and the twelve protectors all have the strength of peerless generals, of which eleven of the protectors are still young and beautiful women, and the charm value is above eighty points, and the charm value of five people is more than ninety points.

As long as Liu Ji forcibly takes possession of all the eleven beautiful protectors of Kunlun Mountain, it is equivalent to completing the hidden task of subduing the peerless fierce generals eleven times, such a good thing, where will Liu Ji be polite.

As a result, eleven more nobles with peerless military strength were added to Liu Ji's harem, and there were one hundred and twenty-six more groups of elite soldiers in the system.

As for the two elders and a male protector of Kunlun Mountain, they were forcibly fed puppet pills by Liu Ji, which made the royal guard add three more puppet bodyguards with peerless military strength, and the system immediately rewarded Liu Ji with twenty-four groups of elite soldiers.

After the annexation of the Great Zhou State, Liu Ji was ready to let the Great Han rest for a period of time, after all, the Great Han Dynasty had just been established for less than three years, and it had already successively annexed the two major powers, the Great Wan Kingdom and the Great Zhou State, and it would take a long time for the Great Han Dynasty to completely digest the territory and population of the Great Wan Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Time flies, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, the time soon came to the end of August of the 11th year of the Han Dynasty, at this time the capital of the Han Dynasty Canglong City is particularly lively, in the coming September 1, the Han Dynasty will hold a large-scale celebration of the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in Canglong City, which also includes a military parade.

In order to participate in this grand event of the Han Dynasty, many people of the Han Dynasty even traveled thousands of miles to Canglong City, and various countries and forces also sent envoys to support the Han Dynasty.

Today's Han is already the world's first power worthy of the name, and these countries and forces do not dare to sweep the face of the Han Dynasty, otherwise they will wait to meet the iron hooves of the Han army!

After the Han Dynasty annexed the twenty-two provinces of the Great Zhou State, according to Liu Ji's idea, it was originally planned to let the Han Dynasty recuperate for a few years, but the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, at the beginning of April of the 4th year of the Great Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and the Qiang tribe of the Southern Barbarians evolved into a war that lasted for three years because of a border conflict.

During this three-year war, the five powerful clans of the Southern Barbarians were involved one after another, and the Han Dynasty mobilized more than 18 million troops and entered the vast forests of millions of mountains.

Among the five powerful clans of the Southern Barbarians, the Diqiang and the Lano were basically wiped out by the Han Dynasty in this three-year war, and the Jihu, Nani and Nandai among the five powerful clans of the Southern Barbarians also suffered heavy losses, and the Han Dynasty established a Nanban Protectorate with an area of more than 22 million square kilometers in the midst of millions of mountains.

There are eleven prefectures under the entire Nanban Metropolitan Protectorate, each of which covers an area of about two million square kilometers, and these eleven prefectures were basically the territory of the Qiang and Lano tribes before.

The army of the Han Dynasty, in this three-year war with the Southern Barbarian tribes, also suffered very heavy losses, with more than three million casualties, of which more than one-third of the total casualties were due to the non-combat attrition caused by the harsh environment of the million mountains.

If it weren't for the harsh environment of the Million Mountains, Liu Jidu would be ready to take this opportunity to eat all the Southern Barbarian tribes in one bite, and then protect the Nanban Capital of the Han Dynasty, and expand tens of millions of square kilometers of land.

In addition, when the war broke out between the Han Dynasty and the Southern Barbarian tribes, the two overlords of the East Barbarians in the 100,000 mountains, the Bai Miao and the Qing Yi people, broke out again, and the various Eastern Barbarian peoples who were attached to the Bai Miao and Qing Yi were also involved in this war.

The Bai Miao tribe, which had the advantage in strength, soon gained the upper hand in the war, and even the Pingliang City, where the Qingyi Tusi Mansion was located, was captured by the Bai Miao people, and the Qingyi Tusi Wumeng Ago was killed by a stray arrow in the battle to defend Pingliang City.

Qing Yi Tusi Wumeng Ago died in battle, became the last straw that overwhelmed the Qing Yi people, and then faced with the momentum of the Bai Miao army, the Qing Yi army was almost defeated, if there is no interference from other factors, the Qing Yi and its affiliated Dongban peoples, will be swallowed up by the Bai Miao and its affiliated ethnic groups.

At this moment, the Han army, dominated by the Eastern Barbarian Legion, suddenly sent troops to join the war between the two overlords of the Eastern Barbarian and formed an alliance with the Qingyi people.

The war in the mountains of 100,000 did not end until the end of December of the 7th year of the Han Dynasty, and finally the Han army defeated the Bai Miao and its affiliated Eastern Barbarian Nationalities, and let the Bai Miao ceded about 2 million square kilometers of territory, and the Qing Yi tribe was completely incorporated into the Han Dynasty under the leadership of the new Tusi Wumeng Zhuolie, and the territory of the Qing Yi tribe was all included in the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate of the Han Dynasty.

Wumeng Zhuolie was actually unwilling to let the Qingyi tribe merge into the Han Dynasty, but when Su Lie, the commander of the Eastern Barbarian Army, put his knife on Wumeng Zhuolie's neck, Wumeng Zhuolie had to choose to give in.

From the beginning of the war when the Han army joined the two overlords of the Eastern Barbarians, until the end of the war, there was about a year, the Han army lost a total of millions of troops, but these losses were still worth it, plus about two million square kilometers of forests ceded by the Bai Miao people, the area of the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate expanded to tens of millions of square kilometers, and it was divided into six states.

In the two wars of the Southern Barbarians and the Eastern Barbarians, Liu Jiwei did not take the imperial expedition and did not absorb a large number of soul points, but because the Han army captured many enemies with peerless military general strength and top military general strength in these two wars, it made Liu Ji's royal guard team expand a lot of personnel, and at the same time, Liu Ji got a lot of elite soldiers from the system.

In addition, the beauties of the Southern Barbarian and the Eastern Barbarian tribes, Liu Ji took advantage of these two wars to loot a lot, and the beauties that can be looked at by Liu Ji have a charm value of more than eighty points, of course, from these beauties of the Southern Barbarian and Eastern Barbarian tribes, Liu Ji has also harvested a large number of elite soldiers produced by the system.

The two wars between the Southern Barbarian and the Eastern Barbarian also made the countries surrounding the Han Dynasty even more jealous.

In a palace in the imperial palace of Mengyuan City, the capital of the Lu Kingdom, Emperor Jiang Sheng, who was lying on the bed, coughed violently for a while, and then said weakly to Liu Mian, the captain of the military department: "King Wei, they should have arrived in Canglong City, right?" ”

Jiang Kai, the king of Wei of the Lu State, was the eighth son of Emperor Jiang Sheng, and was a fellow of the Han Dynasty's concubine Jiang Huan.

Liu Mian, the captain of the military department, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Han Dynasty will be held in two days, and the King of Wei and they should have entered Canglong City. ”

"Ahem, cough, that son-in-law of mine is really powerful, in a few years, not only annexed the Qingyi tribe in the Eastern Barbarians, but also annexed the Qiang tribe and the Lano tribe in the Southern Barbarians, but our Dalu ...... Alas—"

When the war broke out between the Han Dynasty and the Southern Barbarian tribes, under the strong leadership of Jiang Sheng, the emperor of the Lu State, the Lu State concentrated eight main army corps and fourteen ordinary army corps, and invaded the territory of the Xiao State without warning.

Xiao has sixteen states, a population of about 120 million, and an army of more than 6 million, which is not bad, but because the attack of Lu is too sudden, Xiao Guo was caught off guard, and in less than a month after the war, Xiao Guo lost more than 2.5 million troops and lost almost five provinces.

However, Xiao Guo used this nearly a month to recruit nearly 10 million young men to join the Xiao army, and then the war between Lu and Xiao fell into a stalemate.

Jiang Sheng, the emperor of Lu State, in order to break the stalemate with the Xiao army, transferred six main army corps and six ordinary army corps to the battlefield of Xiao State, and in order to show his determination to annex Xiao State, Jiang Sheng, Emperor of Lu State, sent several sons to the battlefield of Xiao State to lead the troops.

After the second batch of six main legions and six ordinary legions of the Lu State joined the battlefield, the pressure on the Xiao State suddenly increased greatly, and several fronts became precarious, but at this time, the Yan State, which had nineteen states, suddenly also sent troops into the Xiao State and formed an anti-Lu alliance with the Xiao State.

The war between Lu and Xiao and Yan lasted for a year and a half, and in the end both sides were defeated, and the Lu army had to withdraw from Xiao, and the combined forces of Xiao and Yan were unable to counterattack into the territory of Lu.

In this war, the Lu State lost about 7 million people, the Xiao State lost 15 million troops and civilians, and the Yan State also lost more than 2 million troops.

After this war, the anti-Lu alliance between Xiao and Yan not only remained, but the relationship between Xiao and Yan also crossed from the original tension to the honeymoon period.

In order to guard against the anti-Lu alliance of Xiao and Yan, Lu had to mobilize more troops and place them in the border areas adjacent to Xiao and Yan.

Emperor Jiang Sheng then said with some emotion: "If it weren't for my illness, I really wanted to go to Canglong City this time and see my son-in-law, the Han Kingdom has only been established for ten years, and it has already expanded thousands of miles, how good it would be if Liu Ji was my son!" ”

Liu Mian, the captain of the military department, immediately said: "Your Majesty, you have to take care of your health, now our Dalu State needs to face the threat of the Han State on the one hand, and on the other hand, we have to guard against the Xiao State and the Yan State, and our Dalu State cannot do without you, the Dinghai Divine Needle!" ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng coughed a few more times, and then said with a wry smile: "My body, I know in my heart that it shouldn't last long, but I really can't rest assured that we are in the Great Lu Kingdom!" I hope that King Wei can establish an anti-Han alliance with the Europa Empire in the western continent, as well as the Xiongnu and Khitan tribes on the grassland, the Jihu, Nani and Southern Dai tribes in the Southern Barbarians, and the Bai Miao people in the Eastern Barbarians! ”

Liu Mian, the captain of the military department, hesitated for a moment, and did not say what he said in his heart, in fact, Liu Mian did not think that the anti-Han alliance imagined by Emperor Jiang Sheng could have any effect, after all, the Dalu State and the Europa Empire, the Xiongnu, the Khitan, the Jihu Nation, the Nani Nationality, the Southern Dai Nationality and the Bai Miao Nationality are too far away, not to mention that the power of the Han State is now in full swing, and it may not even be possible to build this anti-Han alliance.

Previously, the Great Lu Kingdom sent people, after a lot of hardships, to rush to the capital of the Europa Empire, Rocca City, hoping to form an alliance with the Europa Empire against the Han State, but unfortunately the Europa Empire was very forcefully refused.

Liu Mian, the captain of the military department, sighed and said, "I hope that King Wei can succeed this time." ”

"Ahem, cough, what's the current situation of our army in the Great Lu Kingdom?"

"Your Majesty, the various legions damaged in the war with Xiao and Yan have been considered to have recovered their strength, and under the auspices of the crown prince and several princes, the scale of our Lu army has now expanded to twenty-four main legions and thirty-six ordinary legions, with a total strength of more than twenty-million."

Liu Mian, the commander of the military department, said that the total strength of the Lu army exceeded 20 million, and not only did he not have any joy on his face, but also showed a look of worry.

Because the health of Emperor Jiang Sheng of Lu has become worse and worse in recent years, several sons of Emperor Jiang Sheng have begun to put their hands into the army of Lu State, and now the crown prince Jiang Jing has controlled the military power of five main legions and eight ordinary legions, Jiang Ji, King of Qin, controls the military power of four main legions and seven ordinary legions, Jiang Kui, King of Qi, controls the military power of three main legions and five ordinary legions, and Jiang Cheng, the king of Yan, controls the military power of three main legions and four ordinary legions.

The crown prince Jiang Jing, the king of Qin, Jiang Ji, the king of Qi, Jiang Kui, and the king of Yan, Jiang Cheng, have begun to brazenly compete for the position of emperor, and there are currently only nine main legions and twelve ordinary legions, which have not yet been swept into this whirlpool.

Liu Mian, the captain of the military department, is worried that once the emperor Jiang Sheng dies, a civil war for the throne will break out in the Lu State, and the crown prince Jiang Jing, the king of Qin, Jiang Ji, the king of Qi, Jiang Kui, and the king of Yan, Jiang Cheng, are all ruthless masters, and they will never admit defeat easily, not to mention that the four of them control a lot of troops.

"Ahem, cough, my sons, have they been honest lately?"

"Your Majesty, the crown prince, the king of Qin, the king of Qi and the king of Yan, the contradiction has become bigger and bigger recently, and now most of the military power of our army in the country of Lu is controlled by the prince, the king of Qin, the king of Qi and the king of Yan, and the minister is worried about ......"

"Ahem, cough, I complained that I was too confused at the beginning, and in the war with Xiao and Yan, I shouldn't have given the military power to these four rebels, and now they don't even listen to my words, cough cough cough-"

"Your Majesty, don't get excited, as long as you recover, all problems will be solved."
