After hearing Lian Po's words, Liu Ji touched his chin. He knew that Smosco Province was one of the fifteen provinces of Gaochang State under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governor's Office, with an area of ​​more than 80,000 square kilometers and a population of about one million. Whether it is in terms of area or population, it ranks at the forefront among the fifteen provinces of Gaochang State under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governor's Office.

However, according to the information found by the scouts, including the tens of thousands of Gaochang troops withdrawing from Shiqu Kingdom to Smosco Province, the Gaochang troops in the entire Smosco Province were only about 100,000. In addition, the tens of thousands of affiliated teams of Shiqu Kingdom, Daxu Kingdom, Onda Kingdom, Qiwu Kingdom, Dana Kingdom and Yuanba Kingdom seem to be really in trouble.

Liu Ji pondered for a moment and said, "The Smosco Province in Gaochang Country is considered to be vast and sparsely populated than Zhuqi, and the area is four times that of Zhuqi, but the population is only half of Zhuqi, and there are eleven cities in the entire province. If we only calculate the Gaochang army in Smosco Province, it is not as many troops as our Dai'an army in the Western Regions. However, it is necessary to attack Smosco Province, but it is necessary to conquer the eleven cities, but it will not be too easy to capture."

At this time, Lian Po volunteered: "Lord, as long as Lian Po gives 100,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry, Lian Po is willing to issue an order to capture the entire Smosco province for the lord."

Thinking that Lian Po's commander was as high as 95 points, Liu Ji couldn't help but be very moved by Lian Po's guarantee. After thinking for a long time, Liu Ji said to Lian Po in a deep voice: "Since you are so sure, then the prefect decided to establish the Westward Army from now on, and Lian Po will be the commander. The entire Westward Army has 15 cavalry battalions and five infantry battalions. In addition, 100,000 young and strong men will be transferred from Zhu Qiguo to serve as auxiliary soldiers. The Smosco Province, the Shiqu Kingdom, the Daxu Kingdom, the Weng Da, the Qiwu Kingdom, the Dana Kingdom, and the Yuanba Kingdom, are all handed over to the Westward Army to be responsible."

Lian Po stood up excitedly and shouted loudly: "Here--"

Most of the generals under Liu Ji were summoned from the system, and were loyal to Liu Ji and obeyed his words. Although Liu Ji appointed a newcomer to serve as the commander of the Westward Arrival Corps, many generals frowned slightly, but no one expressed any meaning. So later, the famous Western Regions Legion under Liu Ji, its predecessor, was established.

Liu Ji then turned his head and asked He Ruobi, "How is the screening work of more than 200,000 prisoners?"

He Ruobi immediately said: "Report to the lord, in addition to capturing more than 70,000 civilians recruited by Gaochang from some dependent states, we also captured more than 40,000 prisoners of Gaochang and more than 90,000 prisoners of war from several dependent states of Gaochang. After our careful identification, a total of 1,476 officers above centurion were picked out from Gaochang and prisoners of war from the lord, and were waiting for the lord to deal with these officers."

Liu Ji nodded and said, "There is nothing to say. None of these officers above centurion among the prisoners of war can be kept, otherwise it will delay our inclusion of ordinary prisoners."

After pausing, Liu Ji turned his head and said to Lian Po, "During the night attack, all cavalry battalions suffered a lot. I originally planned to use the cavalry among prisoners of war to supplement each cavalry battalion, but in this way, it is likely that the combat effectiveness of each cavalry battalion will be further improved and allocated to the fifteen cavalry battalions of the westward army. Do you think you need to supplement it with prisoners of war?"

Lian Po thought for a while and said, "Lord, my subordinates are considering going westward. Not only will they capture Shiqu Kingdom, Daoxue Kingdom, Wengda Kingdom, Qiwu Kingdom, Dana Kingdom, Yuanba Kingdom, and Smosco Province of Gaochang Kingdom. Next, they will be the main force of the resistance to Gaochang team. As long as the westward army is present, the Gaochang Kingdom's army will not want to regain any of the victory fruits of our Dai'an Army. Therefore, of course, my subordinates hope that the more troops the westward army will have to be better, and that if the combat power is not good, they can be trained. My subordinates even hope that with the westward army, my lord will no longer need to worry about Gaochang Kingdom!"

Liu Ji nodded and said, "Okay! The next fifteen cavalry battalions of the Legion westward will be given priority to supplement the cavalry among the prisoners of war. I hope the Legion westward will bring enough surprises to the prefect!"

Liu Ji has used up all the opportunities for summoning first-class generals, second-class generals and third-class generals within the 180-day time limit, so his current demand for soul values ​​is not so urgent, and Liu Ji is not willing to visit the battlefield in person every time.

Lian Po, who had a commander worth up to 95 points, came to command the Westward Armies to deal with Gaochang. Liu Ji thought that it was much stronger than leading the troops himself, and the chance of resisting Gaochang's counterattack increased greatly, so Liu Ji's support for the Westward Armies was extremely strong.

Liu Ji transferred fifteen cavalry battalions, Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Du Ning, Xiao Feng, Tai Shi Ci, Gan Ning, Xu Chu, Wu Yunzhao, Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, Zang Ba, Cao Xiu, Yan Yan, Feng Sheng and Lin Chong, to join the Westward Army, and filled all the vacancies for the fifteen cavalry battalions. In this way, the Westward Army had 150,000 cavalry.

At this time in the Western Regions, there were twelve infantry battalions under Liu Ji, each of which had 15,000 people.

Originally, Liu Ji was planning to draw five infantry battalions to join the Westward Army, but after Liu Ji saw that the twenty cavalry battalions had supplemented nearly 50,000 prisoners of war, there were still 150,000 prisoners of war left, so he carefully discussed with Lian Po.

Then Liu Ji drew nearly 60,000 people from the twelve infantry battalions in the Western Regions and handed them over to Lian Po. Then the twelve infantry battalions selected 60,000 people from prisoners of war and filled the vacancy.

Lian Po used 60,000 infantry as a basis, plus 90,000 prisoners of war and 150,000 young and strong men recruited from Zhu Qi's country, and finally formed twenty infantry battalions for the Advance Army.

The commanders of these twenty new infantry battalions include the seven first-class military generals under Duke Huan of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period, which Liu Ji had just summoned, Gongsun Zhi, Lu Wei, Yi Qian, Binli, Ning Hong, Cheng Fu, and Gao Que, as well as the six first-class military generals under Duke Wen of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, Ji Peng, Ji Ke, Xi Qin, Huo Bo, Wei Yu, and Xun Yin.

The other seven infantry commanders were the seven former guards of the former guard camp, Wang Bodang, Shi Bao, Liang Xing, Gong Yi, Gong Wu, Yuchi Jiong, Wu'anguo, Gong Yi and Gong Wu, two first-class military generals in the real world. As well as the former Moxi City general Gong Xun and Liu Ji, Liu Ji, have received a reminder from the system that the three of them sincerely loyal to him, so Liu Ji was able to allow Gong Yi and Gong Wu to serve as infantry commanders respectively.
