The four hundred and fortieth chapters plan to take the initiative to attack

In the palace of Generals of the Enemy in Chengyin City, Xiao He, Du Ruhui and many generals who stayed in Chengyin City heard Liu Ji expand the scale of the Guards to two cavalry brigades and thirty infantry brigades, and his eyes showed a look of load-bearing.

In the past two months, the five million coalition forces of the four powerful countries in the Western Regions were like a mountain, pressing on the hearts of the people in the General's Mansion of the Conquering the Captains.

As the main force of the Western Regions Protectorate, although after emergency expansion, the Western Regions Legion has reached fifteen cavalry brigades and thirty infantry brigades, with a total force of about one.8 million. In addition, the troops in the garrison battalions of various cities in the Western Regions Protectorate can reach about two million, but there is still a huge gap compared to the number of five million.

The other two main legions of the Polu Army, with five cavalry brigades and ten infantry brigades, can send more troops to the Western Region Protectorate. However, the grassland legion with twenty cavalry brigades and five infantry brigades will not be too many troops to be drawn from the Western Region Protectorate due to the huge threat from the nomadic peoples on the grassland.

The local legion and the grassland legion can eventually support the troops of the Western Regions Protectorate, with only about 600,000 or 700,000 people. Together with the entire Western Regions legion and the garrison battalions of each city, there is still a considerable gap in strength compared to the coalition forces of the four powerful countries in the Western Regions.

Now with the two cavalry brigades and thirty infantry brigades of the Guards, although the Polu Army's military strength in the Western Regions Protectorate's Mansion is still not as strong as that of the coalition forces of the four powerful countries in the Western Regions, the gap is no longer so unacceptable.

Du Ruhui suggested to Liu Ji: "Lord, Dai'an County and the four counties of Yongjing County, as the rear of the Western Region Protectorate and Beiting Protectorate, should not face any war in the short term, so his subordinates believe that most of the troops of the local legion can be transferred to the Western Region Protectorate."

Liu Ji nodded and said, "The local legion has five cavalry brigades and ten infantry brigades. I think four cavalry brigades and seven infantry brigades can be transferred to the Western Regions Protectorate, the four counties of Dai'an County and Yongjing County, and there is a cavalry brigade and three infantry brigades guarding. There should be no major chaos."

Le Yi, the commander of the local legion, immediately clasped his fists to Liu Ji and said, "Don't worry, our local legion leaves a cavalry brigade and three infantry brigades, which is enough to ensure the safety of Dai'an County and the four counties of Yongjing County."

At this time, Xiao He said to Liu Ji: "Lord, it's a bit uneasy on the grassland recently. It's best to draw less troops from the grassland legion. Some tribes of the Xianbei people have moved to the grassland north of our Beiting Protectorate."

When Liu Ji heard the Xianbei people, he couldn't help but frown. The Xianbei people are one of the three major nomadic peoples, with millions of cavalry. In terms of overall strength, they are even better than the Khitan people, and they are only slightly weaker than the Huns.

The northern part of the Beiting Protectorate was originally a pasture for the Dangxiang tribe, but the territory of the Xianbei tribe was not bordered by the Dangxiang tribe, and was at least hundreds of miles apart. Now the Xianbei tribe has expanded its power to the edge of the Beiting Protectorate, what is it that they intend?

Liu Ji frowned and asked Xiao He, "Where did the nomadic peoples who lived north of the Beiting Protectorate before? Did the Xianbei people attack our Beiting Protectorate?"

Xiao He said: "Lord, the nomadic peoples north of the Beiting Protectorate were moved to other places on the grassland for some reason. This allowed many Xianbei tribes to occupy a large area of ​​grassland north of the Beiting Protectorate. After the Xianbei tribes moved over, they did not offend our Beiting Protectorate. Instead, they sent envoys to start a trade with our Polu Army."

Liu Ji shook his head and said, "The Great Jin Dynasty has cancelled the mutual market with the nomadic peoples on the grassland for hundreds of years. Although our Polu Army is in its own relationship, we must be cautious in the matter of mutual market. If we say that our Polu Army has colluded with the Hu people in private, we will not be able to explain it clearly."

At the beginning of the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty used cloth, tea, medicinal materials to barter with the nomadic peoples on the grassland in exchange for war horses and cattle and sheep from the nomadic peoples on the grassland. However, as the nomadic peoples continued to send troops to various parts of the northern part of the Great Jin Dynasty to fight for the autumn wind, the Great Jin Dynasty finally banned this bartering trade.

This has made the trade between the Great Jin and the grasslands mainly smuggled for hundreds of years. Many aristocratic families and wealthy families of the Great Jin Dynasty relied on smuggling to the nomadic peoples on the grasslands to make their families. For example, the thirteen top thirteen families in the Great Jin Dynasty took away most of the cakes in this smuggling feast.

After pausing, Liu Ji continued, "Since the Xianbei people have arrived at the edge of our Beiting Protectorate, the Grassland Legion cannot draw too many troops to the Western Regions Protectorate. Let the Grassland Legion first draw five cavalry brigades! In addition, let Heishuitai send additional personnel to monitor the movements of the Xianbei people!"

Next, Liu Ji, Zhang Liang, Xiao He and other thirteen top civil officials, as well as many military generals, carefully discussed the strategies to deal with the four major powers in the Western Regions. One of the plans proposed by Zhang Liang was approved by Liu Ji and many civil officials and military generals.

This time, the four powerful countries in the Western Regions jointly sent troops, and some of the vassal state troops of the four powerful countries. The troops were too large, so it was not so easy to assemble. More than two months have passed since the four powerful countries in the Western Regions decided to join the Holy Fire Church organization, but the troops of the four powerful countries in the Western Regions have not yet completed the assemblage in Gaochang.

As the most powerful country in the Western Regions, Dayuan Kingdom was preparing to send six cavalry corpses, twelve infantry corpses and 500,000 auxiliary soldiers this time, with a total of two million troops joining the holy war. Now only three cavalry corpses and tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers have entered the Huhesa province of Gaochang State, and only one army has entered the Huhesa province of Gaochang State, and no troops have entered the territory of Gaochang State.

Only the 600,000 direct troops of King Mujheid of Gaochang State have been arranged in the Shakhtinsk province, the Huhesa province and the Lisakos province, which are west of the Western Regions Protectorate. The troops recruited by King Mujheid from the other three great commanders of Gaochang State have not yet rushed to the above three provinces.

Zhang Liang suggested that since a war is unavoidable, it is better to take the initiative to attack while the enemy has not completed the assembly and burn the war into the territory of Gaochang.

Liu Ji finally said to many civil and military officials and generals under his command: "The Guards Army was resting outside Chengyin City for two days and rushed to the Western Regions Protectorate's Mansion immediately. The four cavalry brigades and seven infantry brigades drawn by the local legion, as well as the first infantry brigades of the Western Regions and the First Cavalry Brigade of the Grassland Legion, also rushed to Jinzhou in the Western Regions Protectorate's Mansion. The four other cavalry brigades drawn by the Grassland Legion also allowed them to arrive in Jinzhou as soon as possible and catch them off guard!"

The Jinzhou of the Western Regions Protectorate was formed by the merger of the former Eastern Governor's Office of the Gaochang State, the Timiltao Province, the Almuz Province and the Jezkazgan Province. The area totaled more than 300,000 square kilometers. To the west of the Jinzhou is the Shakhtinsk Province, Huhesa Province and Lisakos Province of the Gaochang State. Currently, these three Gaochang State provinces are controlled by the King of Gaochang State Mujheid.

After discussing the plan to take the initiative, Liu Ji came to the backyard of General Zhenglu's Mansion to meet his wives, concubines and children.

When Liu Ji led his troops to the southeast of the Great Jin Dynasty to quell the rebellion, his wife Zhang Wanting, his wife Zhou Lanqi and Lin Xiya, as well as two concubines of the Uighur tribe, Guliyati and Hanina, and two concubines of the country, Nadewa and Aisha, Aguyili, Anina, Baileges and Nafisse of the Holy Fire Cult, had a total of twelve wives and concubines, one of whom gave birth to a son for Liu Ji.

Liu Ji's wife Zhou Lanxin and Lin Xiwen, Zhu Qiguo's concubine Fatini, Lufan concubine Su Hena, Nibali of the Holy Fire Cult, Musier and Dernani, gave birth to a daughter for Liu Ji. Liu Ji had nineteen biological flesh and blood in this world.

Among the concubines, Yasmini, Serisya, Sophia, Rukani, Libabna, Sassemira, Enice and Shibanas, as well as Sekina, Oleges and Dohariya from the Loufan tribe, Abrani and Ashima from the Dangxiang tribe, are all pregnant. In the future, Liu Ji's flesh and blood will increase by more than a dozen.

In the room of his wife Zhang Wanting, Liu Ji looked at her son who was almost three months old and hugged Zhang Wanting and said, "Wanting, thank you for your hard work. This time, in order to quell the rebellion of the Red Turban Army, you didn't even have a child with your husband. It's really...ah——"

Zhang Wanting smiled and said, "Husband, Wanting doesn't mind, let alone to help the court quell the rebellion this time. If the husband did not lead the troops to the southeast, millions of Red Turban Army would not easily surrender to the court. Then the people of the seven southeastern states should suffer."

Liu Ji hugged Zhang Wanting tighter and asked, "Did our son name it?"

Zhang Wanting shook her head and said, "My father said that you have to name the children born to our son and other sisters."

Liu Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Then our son is called Liu Polu!"

When Zhang Wanting heard the name Liu Ji gave her son, her eyes lit up. You must know that the army under Liu Ji's command is called the Polu Army. Now that they name their son Liu Polu, it is obvious that they have the intention of cultivating their sons and becoming the successor of the Polu Army. So Zhang Wanting said in a coquettish voice: "This name is well-known. I hope that my son can become a great hero like a husband when he grows up."

Liu Ji smiled and said nothing. Liu Polu was Liu Ji's eldest son. If there was no accident, Liu Polu would be the heir to Liu Ji's career. Of course, if Liu Polu was unable to use it when he grew up, it would be a different matter.

Liu Ji then changed the topic and said, "This time the Empress Dowager gave me the Princess Xiangcheng to marry me. Wanting and Princess Xiangcheng will be the wife of the Princess Xiangcheng in the future, regardless of size. This is also the Queen Mother's imperial decree."

Zhang Wanting smiled and said, "Don't worry, husband, Wanting will become good sisters with Princess Xiangcheng, and help her husband manage the back house. To be honest, her husband has too many wives and concubines, and Wanting is worried that she can't control her!"

Zhang Wanting's words made Liu Ji smile awkwardly. This time, Liu Ji led his troops to the Southeast to suppress the rebellion, but he gained a lot of stunning beauties.

From the capital, Liu Ji got Gu Xiaowan, Dong Hongyu, Ma Shishi, Cheng Xiaoxiao, Qin Yuechan, Lu Xiangru, Wang Jingxiang, Shu Yuting, Shi Jiezhen and Pan Tingting, a total of ten beautiful ladies. They had been escorted back to Chengyin City by Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, three first-class generals from the Southern and Northern Dynasties and nine hundred military soldiers of the Wei Kingdom.

Liu Ji obtained the twelve golden hairpins of Qinhuai City in Suzhou and fourteen other beautiful ladies from brothels. These 26 beauties were safely sent back to Chengyin City by Xinwenli, Shang master and apprentice, three first-class generals of the Tang Dynasty and 800 tiger and leopard cavalry.

This time, Liu Ji personally brought back the top ten courtesans in Huai'an City and seventeen beautiful ladies from brothels, as well as the princess of Xiangcheng and twelve good-looking dowry palace maids. A trip to suppress the rebellion in the southeast made Liu Ji bring back seventy-six wives and concubines. As the wife Zhang Wanting was unable to complain about this.

In fact, Zhang Wanting didn't know that this did not include the many beauties in Guanghan Palace. There were already four deputy palace masters and twelve personal disciples in Guanghan Palace who were carried onto the bed by Liu Ji.

"By the way, how is my father-in-law's illness?"

The smile on Zhang Wanting's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, "The doctor said, father...father has not had many days."

Liu Ji suddenly thought of something, but opened his mouth and didn't say to Zhang Wanting. Liu Ji felt that this matter would not be told to Zhang Wanting for the time being, so he would not be able to have a happy ending.

Liu Ji then went to see his wives, concubines and children one by one, and named the other eleven sons and seven daughters.

After that, Liu Ji went to pay tribute to his father Liu Hao. Liu Hao looked at Liu Ji and said with relief: "Have the children seen it?"

Liu Ji nodded and said, "I've gone to see it, and my names have been named!"

"What is Wanting's son's name?"

"Father, name is Liu Polu!"

"Liu Polu! Not bad, this name is good, it's just right for the Polu Army under your command! Xiao Ji, there is one thing you must remember that Wanting's son must be the heir to your career in the future!"

Liu Ji understood that his father Liu Hao had a deep relationship with Zhang Wanting's father Zhang Chutao, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, father, I will definitely train Polu to become a qualified Polu Army commander."

Liu Hao sighed and said, "It's a pity that your father-in-law can't see Polu growing up. General Zhang can't even get up from bed now. Alas——"

Liu Ji suddenly said, "By the way, father, I got a magical medicine in the capital this time, which may be able to save my father-in-law's life!"

The magic medicine Liu Ji mentioned is the Resurrection Pill. According to the system introduction, as long as the person has a breath, the Resurrection Pill can save people. Liu Ji didn't know whether the Resurrection Pill had any effect on Zhang Chutao's condition, but Liu Ji decided to give Zhang Chutao a Resurrection Pill and try it.
