The 20 infantry battalions newly formed by the Westward Expansion Corps could not give people much hope in terms of combat effectiveness, and then Liu Ji waved his hand and transferred the six infantry battalions with slightly stronger combat effectiveness, Qiu Rui, Yutai, Deng Yu, Wu Han, Jia Fu, and Kou Sui, to the Westward Expansion Regiment, making the infantry battalions of the Westward Expansion Corps swell to 26, and the infantry alone was as high as 390,000.

Liu Ji's support for the Westward Advance Legion is not over, and he transferred 1,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry from the soldiers of the Guards Battalion to form the guards of Lian Po, the commander of the Westward Advance Legion.

Liu Ji also recruited 50,000 young and strong men from various cities in Zhuqi's country for the westward expansion army to serve as auxiliaries for the westward expansion army, and Liu Ji was originally ready to recruit 100,000 auxiliary soldiers for the westward expansion army, but in order to expand 20 new infantry battalions, 150,000 young and strong men had been recruited from Zhuqi's country before, so the number of auxiliary soldiers recruited was reduced by half.

The total population of Zhuqiguo is about 2.3 million, in addition to the soldiers in the original Zhuqiguo army, there are at least 600,000 young and strong men in the entire Zhuqi country.

Liu Ji is so reckless and unscrupulous, after all, Gao Changguo's sword has long been hanging over the neck of the Ju'an army, if Liu Ji doesn't want to do everything possible to increase the strength of the Ju'an army, not only the territory of the Western Regions may not be able to be saved, but Liu Ji's territory in Qianzhou is likely to be in considerable danger.

Fortunately, Liu Ji is not short of money, for the 200,000 Yuan Zhu Qi young and strong people who were recruited, Liu Ji gave 30 taels of silver per person for a settlement fee, 30 taels of silver for the people living in Zhu Qiguo, it is definitely not a small amount of money, enough for a family of four to live for a year, so although Liu Ji suddenly recruited one-third of the young Zhuang in the country, but it was not too strongly resisted, and even many young people saw that there were 30 taels of silver for the settlement fee, and they took the initiative to join the Juan Army.

Not counting the Lianpo guards, the Western Advance Corps has 150,000 cavalry, 390,000 infantry and 50,000 auxiliaries.

In the end, in order to increase the high-end combat power of the Westward Expansion Army, Liu Ji also sent four puppet bodyguards under his command, including Liu Tu with a force value of 98 points, Liu Te with a force value of 93 points, Liu Lie with a force value of 97 points, and Liu He with a force value of 99 points, to Lian Po's side and act as Lian Po's personal guards.

Although the puppet bodyguard has a bad head, but for Liu Ji's order, it is absolutely unconditionally implemented, Liu Ji asked the four puppet bodyguards to obey Lian Po's orders, and then Lian Po is like Liu Ji, he can give orders to the four puppet bodyguards.

It's a pity that among the prisoners of war in Gaochang and the prisoners of war of the vassal countries this time, none of the 1,476 officers above the centurion level have reached the level of top generals, otherwise Liu Ji, who still has fifteen puppet pills, may be able to send a few more puppet bodyguards with the strength of top generals to Lian Po.

The puppet pill is too precious, even if Liu Ji still has fifteen in his hand now, he is not willing to waste it easily, the enemy who does not have the strength of the top generals, and he is not even qualified to eat the puppet pill, 1,476 prisoners of war above the centurion were all slaughtered according to Liu Ji's orders, and the ones who did it were ordinary soldiers and low-level officers among the 200,000 captives.

For this petition, 1,476 prisoners of war above the centurion were pierced with knives and died very miserably.

Before Lian Po led the huge westward legion to set off, Liu Ji also granted Lian Po the right to expand the army, and Lian Po could continue to expand the strength of the westward legion according to the situation to deal with the millions of troops in Gaochang State.

Ding Lin saw that Liu Ji had handed over hundreds of thousands of troops to Lian Po, and couldn't help but say to Liu Ji worriedly: "Lord, after all, Lian Po has just joined the lord, even if Lian Po's ability is very outstanding, but the aspect of loyalty ......"

Liu Ji knew what Ding Lin meant, and explained with a smile: "Old Ding, don't worry! Lian Po will never betray me, it can be said that he is one of my most trusted people, of course, Lao Ding, you are also my most trusted person now. ”

Ding Lin's force value is only 45 points, and Liu Ji can't know through the system whether Ding Lin has been sincerely loyal to him, but through Ding Lin's recent performance, Liu Ji has indeed regarded Ding Lin as a confidant.

Originally, Ding Lin was a partial general in Shangyuan City, but after taking refuge in Liu Ji, Ding Lin has become the first strategist under Liu Ji, and what surprised Liu Ji even more was that when Ding Lin first took refuge in Liu Ji, his intelligence value was 86 points, but now Ding Lin's intelligence value has increased a little, and it has become 87 points, it seems that Ding Lin's potential is still very large, and he may be able to become a top strategist in the future.

After the westward marching army left from Zhuqiguo, Liu Ji returned to the palace in Zhuqicheng, and continued to live a happy life with the seven beauties who stayed in the palace.

Lian Po led the westward army, and soon divided his troops to capture all the six vassal states of Gaochang, including Shiqu, Daoxu, Wenda, Qiwu, Dana, and Yuanba, and expanded more than 60,000 square kilometers for Liu Ji, and these more than 60,000 square kilometers refer to the area of the oasis, not including the desert between the oases.

Together with the Zhuqi Kingdom and the Suju Kingdom, the area of oases controlled by Liu Ji in the Western Regions has exceeded 80,000 square kilometers, and if the desert areas are counted, the territory controlled by Liu Ji's Di'an Army in the Western Regions is more than 500,000 square kilometers.

Conquered these six countries and gained a population of more than 1.7 million, but unfortunately the royal families and nobles of these six countries fled with a large amount of property, so that the Westward Legion harvested the spoils of war was not very rich, but the royal family and nobles fled in a hurry, and could only take away more valuable property, like grain, but did not take much, but let the Westward Legion capture a large amount of food, enough for hundreds of thousands of people in the Westward Legion to eat for more than half a year.

After capturing Shiqu, Daosu, Onda, Qiwu, Dana, and Yuanba, Lian Po immediately began to formulate a battle plan to attack the Smosco Province of Gaochang State.

Lian Po still followed the principle of the more troops, the better, and used the large amount of gold and silver that Liu Ji gave to the westward expansion army, and recruited 350,000 young and strong men from among the six countries he had just conquered to increase the number of auxiliary soldiers of the westward expansion army.

Among the 350,000 young men conscripted, including the more than 30,000 soldiers of the six countries who did not escape, the royal families and nobles of the six countries fled in such a hurry that some of the troops did not take care of it.

Coupled with the previous 50,000 auxiliaries, the total number of auxiliaries of the westward legion reached 400,000, Lian Po did not think that the auxiliaries could only help transport grain, grass and materials, he transferred all the 400 Wei soldiers of his own guard, and appointed them as auxiliary soldiers, each commanding about 1,000 auxiliary soldiers, and issued weapons, so that each auxiliary soldier Sima should seize the time to train the 1,000 auxiliary soldiers under his command to prepare for the next big battle with Gao Changguo.

On February 15, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, when the army of Gaochang State was gathering troops in Salma Province, where the Eastern Governorate was located, the 150,000 troops of the Westward Advance Army suddenly appeared in the Smosco Province of Gaochang State and launched a fierce attack on Texk City, an important border town in Smosco Province.

At this time, in the city of Texke, the army of Gaochang Kingdom was about 30,000 people, and found that the army of the Jin State outside the city was full of 150,000 people, and immediately asked for help from the capital of Smosco Province, Irgu City, and the retreating Gaochang army from the territory of Shiqu Province, 10,000 people are currently in Texk City, and the rest are in the capital of Ilgu City, and the royal families and nobles of Shiqu Kingdom, Daosu Kingdom, Onda Kingdom, Qiwu Kingdom, Dana Kingdom, and Yuanba Kingdom, as well as the armies of various countries they took with them when they fled, are also in the capital Irgu City in the capital of Smosco Province.

According to the order of Haner Apdu, the eastern governor of Gaochang State, the commander of the army, Mutaichile, led the Gaochang army in Shiqu State, and after withdrawing to Smosco Province, the Gaochang army of the entire Smosco Province was under the command of the commander of the army, Mutaichile, who was originally the defense area of the corps commander Mudechile, and the tens of thousands of Gaochang troops left in the Smosco Province were actually subordinate to the troops of the corps commander Mutaichile.

In the city lord's mansion in the capital city of Irgu, the commander of the legion, Mutaichile, said to the city lord Ameni in a deep voice: "Count Emeni, Teeke City is the eastern gate of our province of Smosco, once Teeke City is lost, then the Jin army can drive straight in, you must know that in addition to the capital city of Iergu City and Teeke City, the other cities in Smosco Province are currently not many. ”

The city lord Aimeni frowned and said, "Count Mutaichile, there are 30,000 troops in Teek City, and there are at least 50,000 or 60,000 young men in the city, can't you stop the 150,000 troops of the Jin people?" ”

The commander of the legion, Mu Tai Chile, said with a wry smile: "Count Aimeni, our hundreds of thousands of troops have been defeated in the hands of the Jin people, I have to give the Jin army a higher assessment of combat effectiveness, for the sake of safety, I have decided to transfer some troops from the capital city of Ilgu to support the city of Teeke." ”

"But in our Iergu City, counting the more than 30,000 Gaochang troops you brought back from Count Mutaichile, it is only 50,000, and there are 150,000 Jin troops outside Teeke City, Count Mutaichile, how many troops are you going to lead to rescue Teeke City? We need troops to defend the city of Irgu! ”
