Located in the northwest of Smosco Province of Gaochang, and in the southwest of Smosco Province of Gaochang, the original Gaochang State garrison was under the command of the army under the command of the Legion Commander Saijimu.

However, the commander of the legion Saijimu had already been killed in the battle with the Dai'an army. Most of the troops he brought to attack the Dai'an army were lost in that night attack. Only thousands of cavalry remained were taken to the Balikun Province by the commander of the Legion Mutaichile. At this time, the thousands of cavalry had already been destroyed with the fall of the Balikun Province.

You should know that the commander of the Legion Sai Liangmu brought the main forces of his army to attack the Dai'an army, which made the Gaochang defenders of Balikun Province and Mazatag Province only have only four 10,000 teams, with a total force of only more than 30,000.

The Eastern Governor Han Apudu heard the words of the Legion Commander Fahard and hesitated for a moment and said: "Now the combined forces of the Balikun Province and the Mazhatag Province are only more than 30,000, but they are distributed in fourteen cities in two provinces. Once the Jin army sends troops to the Balikun Province and the Mazhatag Province, the two provinces cannot last long, and the temporary recruitment of young and strong men cannot be compared with regular soldiers after all."

After pausing for a moment, the Eastern Governor Han Apudu said hesitantly: "Should this Governor lead our Eastern Governor's Office to take the 100,000 cavalry and 160,000 infantry gathered near the city of Taras, as well as the 30,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry of several vassal states to rush to the Balikun provinces and Mazhatag provinces first?"

"No! Grand Governor, if you take our Eastern Governor's Office to the Balikun Province or Mazhatag Province, you will inevitably fight the Jin team in advance. Without the reinforcements of His Majesty the King and the other three Grand Governors, our Eastern Governor's Office will face the Jin people's army alone, and it seems that it is a bit weak at present." The commander of the legion, Fahard, said anxiously.

"Do we want Balikun Province and Mazhatag Province, either?" The Eastern Governor Han Apudu sighed.

The commander of the legion, Fahard, said sadly: "Grandmaster, the wisest choice now is to use the provinces of Balikun and Mazhatag to buy us time. After His Majesty the King and the reinforcements of the other three Grandmasters arrived in the province of Sarma, we will join several armies and take back the lost land!"

The Eastern Governor Han Apudu was silent for a long time before speaking in a deep voice: "Order the four ten thousand commanders of the Balikun province and the Mazhatag province to immediately expand their army and prepare for war, and gather all the young and strong men of the two provinces. This Governor authorizes them to form a temporary legion, and the four ten thousand commanders will be promoted to temporary legion commanders. If any temporary legion can perform well in the battle with the Jin team, this Governor will turn the temporary legion into a standing legion!"

Legion Commander Fahard nodded and said, "The subordinates agree with the Grand Governor's method. In extraordinary times, they can only use extraordinary means."

The Great Governor of the East, Han Apudu, said: "In addition, 300,000 young and strong people were recruited from the Sarma Province to join our army in the Eastern Governor's Office to make up for the lost troops in our Eastern Governor's Office!"

Previously, the commander of the legion, Fahard, as the first strategist of the Eastern Governor Hanerapdu, has always opposed the continued expansion of the Eastern Governor's Office. After all, in order to maintain a strong deterrence, the number of standing troops of the Eastern Governor's Office is as high as 1.1 million, but the Gaochang people in the entire Eastern Governor's Office are only more than 12 million, and the proportion of the army and the people is almost 1 to 10, which has made the military expenditure of the Eastern Governor's Office remain high.

If the Eastern Governor's Office had not obtained a large amount of money and materials from twenty-eight servant countries every year, and with the financial income of the fifteen provinces under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governor's Office, the Eastern Governor's Office could not afford the 1.1 million Gaochang army.

However, the westward army of the Dai'an army has captured the province of Smosco and threatened the province of Balikun and Mazatag, which has also changed the attitude of the commander of the army, "The strength of the Grand Governor, the prefect of Jin, Liu Ji, is far beyond our expectations. My subordinates feel that in case, not only should we recruit young and strong men from the province of Sarma to join the army, but the other provinces under our Eastern Governor's Office have to make some preparations in advance."

"Okay! I will leave the governor to you the matter of recruiting new soldiers in various provinces. Fahard, this time the Jin people invaded the jurisdiction of our Eastern Governor's Office, which has risen to a very serious level for our Eastern Governor's Office. In order to drive the Jin people out of the jurisdiction of our Eastern Governor's Office, we must do whatever it takes!"

"Don't worry, the Grand Governor will not disappoint the Grand Governor!"

Originally, the 1.1 million Gaochang army of the Eastern Governor's Office, except for the 30,000 guards around the Great Governor Hanerapdu, the remaining troops belonged to ten legions, but the organization of these ten legions was different. Some legions were under several ten thousand men, while others were under more than ten thousand men.

The Mushimini Legion, which was originally stationed in Zhuqi Kingdom and the other seven other vassal countries around, and the Mutaichile Legion in Smosco Province, have all been destroyed. The Saijimu Legion and Anes Legion have also suffered heavy damage. Only six legions remain in the entire Eastern Governor's Office.

With the order to expand the army by the Eastern Governor Han Apudu, eighteen temporary corps emerged within the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governor's Office, and all temporary corps were expanded with a team of ten thousand people.

For example, in the Balikun province northwest of Smosco Province, there were only two 10,000 teams left in Gaochang Kingdom. However, just a few days after the order of the Eastern Governor Hanerapdu was issued, the two 10,000 teams in the Balikun province became two temporary corpses, with 80,000 and 90,000 respectively, which almost half of the young and strong people in the Balikun province were summoned to two temporary corpses.

Although the remaining young and strong people in Balikun Province were not recruited to join the army, they were also recruited and prepared to help Gaochang's army defend the city to resist the army of Jin.

In the Mazatag province, southwest of Smosco Province, the situation is similar to that of Balikun Province. The two 10,000 teams suddenly became two temporary corpses. However, because the population of the Mazatag province is less than 300,000, the two temporary corpses have only more than 60,000 troops.
