After Teng Ximutu, the Zuoyi Wang of the Dangxiang tribe, surrendered to the Dai'an Army on behalf of all 200 tribes of the Dangxiang tribe, He Ruobi and five other cavalry commanders immediately sent three waves of people to send the news back to Yincheng so that the lord Liu Ji could know and let Liu Ji make the next arrangements for the tribes of the Dangxiang tribe.

As for why the Sanbo people were sent, it was because returning to Dai'an County and Yongjing County from the Dangxiang tribe's territory, it was necessary to pass a large grassland controlled by the Loufan tribe, and the danger coefficient was relatively high. In the past, He Ruobi and his friends sent messages to Chengyin City, and they also sent Sanbo people.

After Liu Ji learned that more than 200 tribes of the Dangxiang tribe had surrendered, he did not feel any big surprise. He had always believed in the law of the strong in the grassland. Now, the five cavalry battalions of the grassland army took advantage of the flood to eliminate most of the combat power of the Dangxiang tribes in one battle. If the more than 200 tribes of the Dangxiang tribes did not surrender, the Dai'an army would destroy them all.

In addition, even if the Dai'an army released more than 200 tribes of the Dangxiang tribe, other nomadic peoples on the grassland would definitely come out to get a bargain and annex these Dangxiang tribes. In that case, the Dangxiang tribes would have to completely disappear on the grassland.

Liu Ji immediately discussed with Su Lie, the commander of the Grassland Legion, and decided to keep the more than 200 tribes of the Dangxiang tribe as they are. After subduing the Loufan tribe, he would thoroughly study how to deal with the more than 200 tribes of the Dangxiang tribe. At that time, there must be many Loufan tribes who need to make arrangements together.

However, the Jin slaves and Hu slaves in the more than 200 Dangxiang tribes must be handed over all of them first and handed over to the grassland army for resettlement.

Liu Ji gave the grassland army full responsibility for the conquest of the Loufan tribe, and Liu Ji was preparing to take the Guards to the Western Regions as soon as possible. Liu Ji was not worried about Lian Po, but mainly because Liu Ji wanted to take the opportunity of the war with Gaochang Kingdom to absorb more soul values ​​in case of emergency.

If the grassland army can defeat Gaochang in the Western Regions and the grassland army can take down all the Loufan tribes on the grassland territory, then it can be foreseeable that although Liu Ji's strength has not expanded into a giant, ordinary forces should not provoke Liu Ji easily. It would be difficult for Liu Ji to absorb a large amount of soul value in a short period of time. After all, if there is no big battle, there will be so many dead people who will allow Liu Ji to absorb the soul value at once.

Liu Ji's soul value now exceeds 800,000 points. Because he can only summon top generals for the time being, and because of the chance of summoning top generals, Liu Ji has been saving up all his soul value and is ready to keep it for future use. In less than a month, the system's 180-day time limit will be over. At that time, Liu Ji can add a large number of first-class, second-rate and third-rate generals to enhance the overall strength of the Dai'an Army.

In order to use the opportunity to summon first-class generals, second-class generals and third-class generals whenever the system time limit is over in the future, Liu Ji hopes to take advantage of this battle between the Dai'an Army and Gaochang Kingdom to accumulate more soul values.

After the war at Qishankou ended, Gai Yan, Zang Gong, Ma Wu, Liu Long, Li Cunxu, Li Cunxin, Li Cunjin, Li Siben, Fu Cunshen, Li Cunxian, Shi Jingsi and Kang Junli, the twelve newly formed infantry battalions, because a large number of soldiers were transferred to the other seven infantry battalions, so that the total strength of the twelve newly formed infantry battalions is only more than 45,000.

With a wave of his hand, Liu Ji assigned all the twelve infantry battalions, which were seriously short of personnel, to the grassland army, so that the young and strong Jin people rescued from the Dangxiang tribe can be used to supplement the twelve infantry battalions.

This time, the five cavalry battalions of He Ruobi, Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Zheng Wei, and Wang Ji obtained a large number of troops from the Dangxiang tribe, and most of them were cavalry. There were still 160,000 people in the other ten cavalry battalions of the Grassland Legion. Liu Ji and Su Lie discussed it and decided that the Grassland Legion would still maintain the organization of fifteen cavalry battalions for the time being, so that the strength of each cavalry battalion might exceed 30,000 people.

In fact, in the military system of the Great Jin Dynasty, there are generally only more than 3,000 people in a battalion, and at most no more than 4,000 people. The generals of the battalion are the commander of the first battalion, and the three battalions to five battalions form a brigade, and the guerrilla general or the general of Zhenyuan are the commander of the brigade. The three brigades to five brigades can also form a guard, and the general of the brigade and the general of the chess and cavalry are the commander of the guard. The 800,000 imperial guards in the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty are divided into sixteen guards.

As for the highest-level generals of the Great Jin General, there are currently only three generals in the Great Jin Dynasty, namely Xiao Su, General He Guangzong, and General Li Hong. These three people all come from the thirteen top families of the Great Jin Dynasty. Only when the generals of the Cavalry are engaged in large-scale wars will they lead troops to war as the commander of the three armies and do not lead troops in normal times.

Liu Ji was only a guerrilla captain in the Great Jin army. According to the Great Jin army system, his army could only have one brigade, so the largest organization of the Dai'an Army has always been battalions. Even if each battalion of the Dai'an Army was seriously over-organized, Liu Ji did not intend to upgrade the battalion to a brigade. Although Liu Ji was no longer concerned about the Great Jin court in his heart, Liu Ji was a minister of the Great Jin Dynasty after all, and some things on the surface still had to be taken into account.

For example, the Westward Legion and the Grassland Legion are only temporary organizations, and there is no such organization in the Great Jin army.

Su Lie led the fifteen cavalry battalions of the grassland army and twelve infantry battalions with severe shortages. After entering the grassland, Liu Ji led the Guard Battalion to the Western Regions. As for the twenty fully organized infantry battalions in the four counties of Dai'an County and Yongjing County, Liu Ji did not yet draw the Western Regions. These twenty infantry battalions will serve as the general reserve team in the Western Regions and the Grassland.

Liu Ji and 19,000 soldiers from the Guards, arrived at Yiergu City, the capital of Smosco Province, Gaochang Country on June 17, 427. Lian Po, the commander of the army westward, personally welcomed Liu Ji to the city lord's mansion at the city gate. During the battle at Qishankou, the Guards did not go to the front line of the battlefield, and there was no loss.

"Lord, our westward army has captured all thirty cities in the provinces of Rudne, Costa and Naikarek yesterday. Now we have taken six of the fifteen provinces under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governor's Office of Gaochang State!" Lian Po said respectfully to Liu Ji.

Liu Ji smiled and said, "It seems that the Dongfan tribe who wants to return to the east has really helped us a lot. Is there any news about the Dongfan tribe?"

Lian Po nodded and said, "According to the news just sent by Heishuitai, the Dongfan tribe broke through the encirclement of a million troops of Gaochang after paying a heavy price. Currently, the Eastern Governor of Gaochang, Haner Apudu, is organizing a large army to pursue the Dongfan tribe, and should not care about our side for the time being."

In an oasis hundreds of miles south of the Almuz province of Gaochang State, the team of the Dongfan tribe is resting here. The oasis is not large in area, only about two or three square kilometers. The entire oasis belongs to a city-state, which is called Dunla City.

Dunla City is called a city, but it is actually just a siege. The population of the entire Dunla City is less than 500. There are many small city-states like Dunla City in the Western Regions, and they are generally attached to the wings of various major countries. The major countries are basically not interested in the small oasis where these city-states are located. This gives the Western Regions the opportunity to exist many city-states. Dunla City is an affiliated city-state of Gaochang State. The Eastern Governor's Office only sent a tax official here.

When the Dongfan tribe team arrived at the oasis where Dunra City was located, the city of Dunra, with only more than twenty soldiers, simply opened the gate of Tuweizi. Then the tax officer of the Eastern Governor's Office and his five family members were cut off by Nangong Jing, the commander of the Dongfan tribe's protector army.

In fact, Nangong Jing is not only the commander of the tribe protection army, but also the new clan leader of the Dongfan clan. Nangong Jing's father, the previous clan leader, Nangong Honghai, has been killed in the process of breaking through.

Seeing that Nangong Jing chopped off the sixth family of Gaochang State tax officer, including a child about ten years old, Zhao Yuyan opened her mouth and did not say what she persuaded. She knew that Nangong Jing was now and wanted to kill all the Gaochang people.

Although the Dongfan tribe snatched a large number of horses and camels from the Gaochang people, so that the old, young, women and children in the tribe could ride horses or camels, thus ensuring the speed of the entire Dongfan tribe team, Han Apudu, the Eastern Governor of Gaochang, mobilized more than one million troops this time, and finally surrounded the Dongfan tribe team in a small desert oasis between the Huhesa Province and the Lisakos Province within the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governor's Office.

The Dongfan tribe knew that they had been with Gaochang State forever, so they had no luck at all. After discovering that they were surrounded by the Gaochang State army, the Dongfan tribe immediately mobilized all those who could pick up weapons, including the women of the Dongfan tribe. After two days of bloody battle, they finally opened a gap in the encirclement of the Gaochang team and broke out.

This bloody battle greatly damaged the vitality of the Dongfan tribe. Before being surrounded by the army of Gaochang, there were more than 600,000 people in the Dongfan tribe, including 220,000 people in the guardian tribe. However, after successfully breaking through, there were only less than 350,000 people in the entire Dongfan tribe, and the elderly in the tribe were basically lost.

When the Dongfan tribe emerged from the encirclement of Gaochang team, the old men and wounded in the tribe all stayed to cut off the rear, and was eventually killed by the angry Gaochang people.

Now, the Dongfan tribe, with less than 300,000 people, are only 110,000 men who can fight, and the remaining nearly 240,000 are basically young women and children under the age of fourteen. However, nearly 100,000 Dongfan women are all equipped with weapons.

Nangong Honghai, the former leader of the Dongfan tribe, was killed in the bloody battle of breaking through. Before Nangong Honghai made a temporary appointment, Nangong Jing was appointed as the new leader of the Dongfan tribe.

After Nangong Jing chopped the heads of six Gaochang people, the anger in his heart calmed down a little. He looked at Zhao Yuyan beside him. Nangong Jing took a deep breath and said, "Yuyan, I'm sorry, I'm a little out of my composure today."

Zhao Yuyan said with a wry smile: "I really don't know if it's right to contact you Dongfan tribes to return to the Great Jin Dynasty together. This breakout is really a big loss."

Nangong Jing said calmly: "When my father died, he told me that he was very pleased to be able to die in battle on the way to return to his hometown in the East. Our Dongfan tribe has been oppressed and exploited by the Gaochang people for many years. If our Dongfan tribe continues to stay in Gaochang, its strength will become weaker and weaker, and it may eventually disappear in the long river of time. Therefore, returning to his hometown in the East is the only choice for our Dongfan tribe. Even if you don't have Yuyan, you will contact us, our Dongfan tribe will eventually embark on the road to returning to the East."

After pausing, Nangong Jing asked, "Yu Yan, how far is this place from the oasis where your Anxi Protectorate is located?"

Zhao Yuyan immediately said: "Captain Nangong, you only need to walk about 200 miles of desert from here to reach the oasis where our Anxi Protectorate is located. However, I cannot contact the people of our Anxi Protectorate. Once the Dongfan tribe attacks a certain military fort, our Anxi Protectorate may not be able to send troops to form a situation of attacking the Dongfan tribe on both sides."

Nangong Jing waved his hand and said, "Although our Dongfan tribe has suffered heavy losses, the guardian army still has 110,000 warriors, which is enough to capture a military fort of the Gaochang people and help the Anxi Protectorate open up a road with the outside world! Yu Yan, which of the six Gaochang people's military forts do you think we should choose to attack?"

Zhao Yuyan said almost without hesitation: "The six military forts that besiege our Anxi Protectorate are Wuniu Castle, Golden Lion Castle, Red Eagle Castle, Julu Castle, Demon Snake Castle and Tianma Castle. The combined Gaochang State garrison should be about 100,000. The area of ​​the Demon Snake Castle is the smallest and the garrison should be the least. I think we should use the Demon Snake Castle as our preferred target of attack."

Nangong Jing nodded and said, "Okay! According to Yuyan, after we arrived at the oasis where the Anxi Protectorate Mansion was located, we directly attacked the Demon Snake Castle and fought for a battle!"

At this time, Zhao Yuyan frowned and said, "The six military forts from Gaochang people are built high and strong when facing the walls on the side of our Anxi Protectorate. In addition, the six military forts are built on the dangerous roads of Xiaguan. So our Anxi Protectorate has sent troops many times over the years and has not conquered any military forts. However, the walls on the back of the six military forts are not too high. With the courage of the Dongfan clan protector, it is probably not a big problem to capture the Demon Snake Fort. I am just worried that the Gaochang army, which is pursuing us from behind, can we give us time to capture the Demon Snake Fort?"
