In the meeting hall of the Lord's Mansion of Lanbao City, after hearing what Liu Ji said, Ding Lin knew that his lord had made up his mind to attack Zhu Qiguo. In fact, Ding Lin also thought that what Liu Ji said was still very reasonable.

After all, the number of troops in the entire Gaochang State is at least 3.5 million, which is not counting the troops of those servant countries of Gaochang State, otherwise it might have to increase by more than 2.5 million.

These armies were controlled by the Eastern Governor Han Apudu, including millions of Gaochang troops and millions of servants, while the rest were controlled by the King of Gaochang and the other three Governors.

If there is no accident, once Gaochang State learns that the Xuju State has fallen into Liu Ji's hands, the entire army of 20,000 cavalry sent by Zhuqi to the Xuju State will be destroyed, and the Eastern Governor Han Apudu will mobilize his troops to attack the current Xuju County.

With the strength of Hanerapudu, he could easily mobilize an army of hundreds of thousands or even millions, and his favorite son was still in the hands of Liu Ji. If Hanerapudu sent troops to attack Xuju County, the troops he sent would definitely not be short.

However, Liu Ji's total strength in Xuju County is less than 50,000. If he doesn't find a way, his chances of victory will be very slim.

Ding Lin pondered for a moment and said to Liu Ji: "What the lord said makes sense, and now we can only burn our boats! Lord, we have also captured more than 7,000 soldiers and generals from the Yuansuju Kingdom. Our subordinates suggest that they can be directly incorporated into our army."

Liu Ji touched his chin and said, "It's not just more than seven thousand soldiers and officers from Xuju Kingdom. Now we must strengthen our strength at all costs to deal with the giant Gaochang Kingdom."

Starting from November 12, 426, the newly established Xuju County was like a running war machine. Liu Ji ordered that in addition to the addition of more than 7,000 soldiers and officers from the original Xuju Kingdom, all young and strong men over 18 years old and under 35 years old in Xuju County were recruited to replenish them into the Dai'an Army.

In addition, Liu Ji also sent people back to Chengyin County and transferred the two infantry battalions of Guards and Gao Shun and Xu Rong to Xuju County. At the same time, in order to hurry up, Liu Ji ordered the soldiers of Guards and the two infantry battalions to ride horses to Xuju County. Infringers who could not ride horses tied themselves to war horses.

However, in order to prevent the attack of the General's Mansion from happening again, Liu Ji asked Liu Meng, Taishi Ci, Gan Ning and Xu Chu to stay in Chengyin City with a thousand infantrymen from the Guards to protect his women.

Nearly 20,000 Gaochang cavalry from Zhushi's country were captured alive. Liu Ji had captured more than 1,000 Gaochang cavalry before. Liu Ji did not let these Gaochang captives and forced the ordinary cavalry to be incorporated. The officers above the centurion were executed by Liu Ji, except for the commander of the army Mushimini.

When Liu Ji met Gaochang official who was about to be executed, no one had the military power level of a top general. The only legion commander Muximini, who was not executed, had a military power value of only 82 points, which was the highest. Liu Ji is now only interested in top generals.

These officers of Gaochang State died miserably because ordinary Gaochang cavalry wanted to join the Dai'an Army, they had to stab their original Shangguan with a knife. More than 200 officers of Gaochang State were stabbed on average, and almost two hundred people were stabbed, and basically every Gaochang official had his chest broken.

Of course, the loyalty book created by Liu Ji, ordinary Gaochang cavalry must also be handwritten and signed. The content of the loyalty book prepared for these ordinary Gaochang cavalry is different from the one prepared for the Hu people in the grassland. It is written with a passage cursing the king of Gaochang and the four great commanders, as well as a passage insulting the fire god Wula of the Holy Fire Sect.

Not all ordinary Gaochang cavalry were willing to stab their Shangguan and sign a letter of loyalty at the same time. Liu Ji would not be polite to these stubborn people and executed them with the officers of Gaochang State.

In the end, Liu Ji suddenly incorporated 20,000 Gaochang cavalry. In the face of death, most of the ordinary Gaochang cavalry chose to surrender, and there were only a few dozen stubborn people. Through this incident, Liu Ji discovered that the Holy Fire Sect was just like that. The 20,000 Gaochang cavalry were all disciples of the Holy Fire Sect, but they still signed the letter of loyalty.

On November 15, the two infantry battalions of the Guards and Gao Shun and Xu Rong arrived in Xuju County. At this time, Liu Ji had recruited 90,000 young and strong men from the 300,000 people in Xuju County.

Many young and strong men living in Xuju County were unwilling to join Liu Ji's Dai'an Army. However, in order to deal with the powerful Gaochang Kingdom, Liu Ji forced himself to recruit all the young and strong men living in Xuju County. He almost captured the strong men from house to house, which was the only way to recruit 90,000 people.

Liu Ji mixed up the 48,000 cavalrymen from the eight cavalry battalions, the Gaochang cavalry who joined the Dai'an army, more than 3,000 cavalrymen from the former Suju Kingdom, and more than 12,000 young and strong men from Xuju County who could ride horses. The previous eight cavalry battalions were still 6,000, but after the mixed formation, six new cavalry battalions were formed, with a force of 6,000.

The commanders of these six cavalry battalions were all selected by Liu Ji from the guard camp, namely Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Du Ning, Xiao Feng, He Ruobi and Li Wenzhong. At the same time, six military generals who served as lieutenants were selected from the previous eight cavalry battalions, and six new cavalry battalions were added to assist Yan Liang and six new commanders.

Nearly 4,000 infantrymen from the original Xuju Kingdom, as well as more than 78,000 young and strong men from the Xuju County, and more than 800 military soldiers from the Wei Kingdom were reorganized by Liu Ji into ten new infantry battalions. Each infantry battalion had a force of more than 8,000, which was equivalent to the original infantry battalion.

The commanders of the ten new infantry battalions were also drawn by Liu Ji from the Guards, namely Qiu Rui, Feng Tai, Deng Yu, Wu Han, Jia Fu, Kou Xun, Zhu You, Du Mao, Jing Dan, and Geng Chun. The next eight were all first-class generals summoned by Liu Ji in Lanbao City. They were among the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In addition to their strong military value, the intelligence and commander values ​​of these eight people were very strong.

These ten new infantry battalions did not send other military generals to assist the ten new captains, but each of them had more than 80 Wei military soldiers under their command to serve as backbone. Liu Ji hoped that in time, these ten infantry battalions could transform him into 80,000 Wei military soldiers.
