In the palace of Gaochang City, the capital of Gaochang State, King Mujeshide of Gaochang State heard Prime Minister Meng Taisuier's analysis of the three governors' offices unwilling to send troops, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Since the founding of Gaochang State, our royal family has always trusted the four governors' offices. Unfortunately, the four governors' offices are not sympathetic at all. In recent years, they have become more and more domineering and are less careful about our royal family. If it were not for the four governors' offices being disunited from our royal family, our Gaochang State could not concentrate all its forces, and the Eastern Governors' Office would not have been suppressed by Liu Ji's Dai'an army and was destroyed by this major earthquake." King Mujheed said in a deep voice.

Regarding the complaints of King Mujheid, Prime Minister Meng Taisuir nodded repeatedly on the surface, but in his heart, if you, Mujheid, have always wanted to abolish the four governor's offices since you succeeded to the throne and take back all the rights of the entire Gaochang State to the king, the four governor's offices will not be more and more wary of you.

King Mujheshid hesitated for a moment and asked Prime Minister Meng Taisuier: "What should the Prime Minister think I should do in this situation now?"

Prime Minister Meng Taisuier said carefully: "His Majesty the King, if the situation continues to continue, it will probably get worse and worse. It is better to turn war with Jin into jade."

After Prime Minister Meng Taisuier said that, he quickly looked at King Mujheid's face, and then Meng Taisuier breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that King Mujheid had already planned to negotiate peace.

King Mujheed sighed and said, "The Eastern Governor's Office is the strongest among the four Governor's Offices in our Gaochang Kingdom. As a result, an earthquake destroyed the Eastern Governor's Office. Now facing the powerful Dai'an army, unless we gather all the strength of our king and the other three Governor's Offices, there is no chance of winning at all. However, if the other three Governor's Offices do not send troops, this war cannot be fought alone by the army under my command."

After pausing, King Mujheid continued, "In addition, I am also worried that the emperor of Jin State, seeing that Liu Ji's Dai'an army had seized so much land, would not help but reach into the Western Regions. In that case, our Gaochang State would be even more trouble."

Prime Minister Meng Taisuier nodded and said, "His Majesty the King is wise. According to the information we have obtained from Jin State, Liu Ji is a newly emerging warlord in Jin State. However, on the surface, Liu Ji is just a prefect of Jin State. Although Jin State's strength has declined a lot in recent years, the lean camel is larger than a horse. The emperor of Jin State must have a large army in his hands. Otherwise, how could he intimidate warlords like Liu Ji? If the emperor of Jin State also wants to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, it will definitely be a bit worse for our Gaochang State. I suggest sending envoys to negotiate peace with Liu Ji!"

"Prime Minister, will that Liu Ji agree to the peace agreement?"

"It's up to people, I believe Liu Ji doesn't want to fight hard with our Gaochang Kingdom!"

"Then the Prime Minister will work hard and go to Liu Ji to discuss the peace talks. I am not at ease with the others."

Hearing that King Mujheid asked him to negotiate with Liu Ji, Prime Minister Meng Taisuier's face changed slightly, but he immediately said respectfully: "I will definitely live up to the entrustedness of His Majesty the King. Let the conditions for peace talks as much as possible will be beneficial to our Gaochang State! I don't know what the bottom line of the conditions for peace talks? I am worried that Liu Ji will probably speak loudly this time!"

King Mujheid pondered for a moment and said, "The provinces of Shahtinsk, Huhesa and Lisakos that have been occupied by my army must not be given up. The Prime Minister tries to gain more territory. In addition, there are still twenty vassal states left in the Eastern Governor's Office and have not been captured by the Dai'an Army. I hope these twenty vassal states can be obtained, and there are absolutely no compensation!"

Prime Minister Meng Taisuier nodded and said, "Your Majesty the King, I will try my best to protect more interests."

On August 22, 427, in the newly built two-story stone building on the former site of the Eastern Governor's Office in Taras City, Liu Ji took the imperial edict and official seal issued to him by the Jin court, and smiled and said to Xiao He, Lian Po and dozens of generals who advanced westward: "From the future, I, Liu Ji, will be the Protector of the Western Regions and the Beiting Protectorate. The Protectorate of these two Protectorate's Office is no worse than that of the provincial governor."

The cavalry commander Taishi Ci said with joy: "Lord, if we follow the territory controlled by our Dai'an army in the Western Regions and the grasslands, the Western Regions Protectorate and Beiting Protectorate must be at least equivalent to the area of ​​ten states. The Protectorate of the two prefectures, the Protectorate of the State, has a much higher status than the state patriarch."

Xiao He smiled and said, "With the appointment of the court, it is legitimate to control the land occupied by the Western Regions and the grasslands. Nowadays, many places in the Jin Dynasty can be said to be in vain. As long as we recruit the people from these places and immigrate a large number of people to the Western Regions and the Beiting Protectorate, then the land in the Western Regions and the grasslands will always belong to our Jin people in the future."

Liu Ji nodded and said, "I have long thought of recruiting victims from all over the world. However, our Dai'an army has been fighting and has not yet spent time to do this. If we can negotiate peace with Gaochang, then we will regard the matter of summoning people from all over the Great Jin Dynasty to immigrate to the Western Regions Protectorate and Beiting Protectorate as the top priority."

Then Liu Ji said: "This time the imperial court not only enthroned me as the arch-guardian of both palaces, but also crossed the general of Zhenyuan and directly promoted me to the general of the conquering the captives. It just so happened that our Dai'an army had been fighting against foreign races, so I decided to change the name of the Dai'an army to the Polu Army in the future. What do you think?"

"Polu Army, not bad! This name is domineering!" Lian Po immediately expressed his agreement. Then Xiao He and dozens of generals who advanced westwardly also said that the name Polu Army was very good, so from now on, the Dai'an Army was replaced by the Polu Army.

Liu Ji then said, "I thought about it and prepared to improve the status of the General's Mansion of the General's Mansion. In the future, the Western Regions Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate will be placed under the General's Mansion of the General's Mansion. In addition, the Dai'an Army was not enough in the past. I am going to re-arrange the organization of the Polu Army. I have made a preliminary plan. Everyone should study and see how it is?"

According to Liu Ji's plan, the Polu Army will have three main combat corpses, namely the Western Regions Legion, the Grassland Legion and the Local Legion. The Western Regions Legion was renamed from the Westward Advance Legion. Because there is no title of a legion in the Great Jin army, these three major legions are only for the Polu Army.

The commander of the Western Regions Legion is still Lian Po, with ten cavalry brigades and twenty infantry brigades. Each cavalry brigade has five cavalry battalions, each cavalry battalion has eight thousand cavalry, and each infantry brigade has five infantry battalions, and each infantry battalion is also eight thousand. In this way, the total strength of the Western Regions Legion will reach 1.2 million.

The commander of the Grassland Legion is still Su Lie, with twenty cavalry brigades and five infantry brigades. The organization of each cavalry brigade and infantry brigade is like the Western Regions Legion, so that the total force of the Grassland Legion will reach one million.

Liu Ji was preparing to let Le Yi serve as the commander of the local legion. The local legion had five cavalry brigades and ten infantry brigades, with the same organization as the other two legions, and the total strength of the local legion was 600,000.

Now Liu Ji has captured eleven provinces in the Eastern Governor's Office of Gaochang State. If there is no accident, the Timiltao Province will fall into the hands of Liu Ji. The population of these twelve provinces exceeds 11 million, and the Sarma province alone exceeds 3.6 million. This is because of an earthquake that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Sarma province.

On the grassland, because it conquered the Dangxiang tribe and obtained a population of more than three million, there should be no problem with the source of troops in order to complete the reorganization of the three major legions.

In addition, the Western Regions Protectorate, Beiting Protectorate, and the four counties of Dai'an County and Yongjing County will set up several garrison battalions. As for how many garrison battalions need to be established, it will be decided based on the specific circumstances.

The total strength of the three main combat legions reached 2.8 million at once, not counting the several garrison battalions that were about to be established. Such a huge force made the generals present look excited. Only Xiao He hesitated and said, "Lord, are the forces of the three major legions too many? In this way, our military spending pressure will be quite large."

Liu Ji waved his hand and said, "There are diamond mines, gem mines, and gold mines in the Salma Province in the country, plus the capture of our previous wars, which will feed the 2.8 million troops of the three main battle corps. There is no problem at all! Even if we can negotiate peace with Gaochang this time, we have many enemies of our Polu Army, and many of them are very powerful. Our Polu Army must maintain a huge army to shock our enemies!"

Xiao He calculated the family's fortune of the General's Mansion of the Conquering the Lulu, and did not raise any objections to the 2.8 million troops of the three main battle corps. The family's fortunes that Liu Ji had saved were indeed rich enough.

This time, more than 20 million taels of gold and more than 50 million taels of silver were seized in several underground vaults in the Eastern Governor's Office of Gaochang State in the former city of Taras, and countless other materials were seized. This was due to the earthquake and a lot of materials were lost.

Liu Ji also planned to expand his Guards into Guards Corps, with a cavalry brigade and an infantry brigade. Each cavalry brigade and infantry brigade also had five battalions, each with eight thousand people. In this way, the Guards Corps' strength will reach 80,000 people, and Liu Ji will also serve as the commander of the Guards Corps.

Xiao He will be appointed as the inner history of the General's Office in charge of money and food. Ding Lin, whose intelligence has risen to 88 points, will temporarily serve as Xiao He's deputy, but they will also act as counselors at the same time.

In addition to Liu Ji's Guard Corps, the entire Polu Army had a total of 36 cavalry brigades and 36 infantry brigades. The commanders of these 72 brigades would be named guerrilla generals, and the commanders of each battalion would be named partial generals, while the commanders of the three major legions, Lian Po, Su Lie and Le Yi would be named General Zhenyuan.

As for the candidates for the 72 guerrilla generals, Liu Ji still needs to think carefully about it. Liu Ji also needs to consider the candidates for the 360 ​​guerrilla generals.

Liu Ji said to Xiao He, Lian Po and dozens of generals who advanced westwardly: "Re-establishing the three major corpses and the guards, and even the Western Regions Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate, will not be completed in a short time. The next task of our defeating the barbarian army is to continue to expand the results of the war. Although the Shahtinsk provinces, Huhesa provinces and Lisakos provinces of the former Gaochang State were occupied by the King of Gaochang State, the former Gaochang State had twenty subordinates, distributed in the north and south of the Gaochang State provinces we occupied. This general is not going to let go of these twenty countries."

When Lian Po heard this, he immediately said, "Lord, among these twenty former vassal states of the Eastern Governor's Office of Gaochang State, the five countries, Langli, Mingci, Jiyuan, Tao E and Chigo State, are the strongest. Langli State has about 800,000 people, 50,000 troops, Mingci State has about 900,000 people, and 50,000 troops, Jiyuan State has about 600,000 people, 40,000 troops, and 1.2 million troops, but the army is only 30,000 troops, Chigo State has the largest population, about 1.5 million, and the largest army, with about 80,000 troops. As for the other fifteen countries, no country's army can exceed 1,000 people, and the total population of the fifteen countries is only about 2 million."

Liu Ji immediately asked Lian Po, "So can the Westward Army take down these twenty vassal states of the former Eastern Governor's Office of Gaochang State?"

The area of ​​the five countries, Langli, Mingci, Jiyuan, Tak and Chigo, exceeds 400,000 square kilometers, and the area of ​​the other fifteen countries must be about 100,000 square kilometers. Of course, Liu Ji would not let go of such a large piece of fat.

In fact, there are dozens of independent city-states within the sphere of influence of the former Eastern Governor's Office of Gaochang State. However, these city-states occupy very small oasis and the cities they built are not large. There is no need to go west to send troops to occupy them. After the Western Regions Protectorate is established, a single order can make these dozens of independent city-states surrender.

"Don't worry, lord, our westward army immediately dispatched troops to send troops to these twenty vassal states of the former Eastern Governor's Office of Gaochang State. Within one month of fighting, these twenty countries were pacified." Lian Po said confidently.

Liu Ji said again: "By the way, what's the situation with the Gaochang teams that were besieging Anxi City?"

Lian Po immediately said: "Report to the lord, our Westward Army has drawn four cavalry battalions and five infantry battalions to deal with the Gaochang team. I believe that good news will be sent back soon. We used the seal of the captured Gaochang State's Eastern Governor to bring orders to the 90,000 Gaochang team besieging Anxi City to surrender."
Chapter completed!
