"Pa" In a study room in the southeast Grand Governor's Office in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, the southeast Grand Governor Zhang Mingqi smashed the book case in front of him with his fist, "What did Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin do? The troops of the ten guards, even though they had lost a lot of people before, had more than 900,000 troops, were almost destroyed in one battle. In the end, even Mo Yu City was easily captured by the Polu Army. Now, in the entire Hengzhou area, there are only three guards left in our Southeast Fang army. How can we block the Polu Army?"

He couldn't blame Zhang Mingqi for being so angry. He had just planned to send six reinforcements to the Third Legion and Sixth Legion of the Southeast Fang Army in Hengzhou. As a result, before the six guards were set off, the situation in Hengzhou took a sharp turn for the worse. The fourteen guards combined with the Third Legion and the Sixth Legion were left in an instant.

Tang Yan, the strategist in the study, sighed and said, "Lord, General Zhou Jiling and General Chen Hongxin only brought more than 10,000 defeated soldiers and fled to Zheng'an City, the prefecture of Hengzhou. Currently, Zheng'an City has a guard of the Sixth Corps of the Southeast Fang Army. The letters sent by the two generals said that they were preparing to make meritorious service on their crimes and led more than 100,000 soldiers in Zheng'an City to defend Zheng'an City to death, and survive and die with Zheng'an City!"

Zhang Mingqi took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions, "Mr. Tang, do you think Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin can defend Zheng'an City?"

Staffman Tang Yan shook his head and said, "Lord, although Zheng'an City is a tall city and deep pond, Zheng'an City has just been captured by our Southeast Fang Army. Our Southeast Fang Army has unstable foundation in Zheng'an City. If the strong men in the city are mobilized to help defend the city, these strong men will turn against each other. With the thirteen and forty thousand troops in the hands of General Zhou Jiling and General Chen Hongxin, it will be difficult to defend Zheng'an City for ten days under the attack of the Polu Army."

Zhang Mingqi said in a deep voice: "There are also guards of the Third Legion and guards of the Sixth Legion in Hengzhou. If these two guards are also transferred to Zheng'an City, Mr. Tang thinks that our Southeast Fang Army can defend this prefecture in Hengzhou?"

Staffman Tang Yan smiled bitterly, "Lord, the troops of the Polu Army may soon arrive in Zheng'an City. The other two guards in Hengzhou have no chance to enter Zheng'an City. The subordinates think that it is better not to let these two guards support Zheng'an City. If these two guards are also eaten by the Polu Army outside Zheng'an City, the Third and Sixth Corps of our Southeast Fang Army will be destroyed."

Zhang Mingqi pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Tang, if our Southeast Fang Army abandons Hengzhou, will Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin still have a chance to evacuate Zheng'an City?"

A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the strategist Tang Yan, "Lord, it takes several transfers to pass messages from Ningbo City to Zheng'an City, and it takes two days to pass the news to Zheng'an City. The Polu Army may not give us so much time to the Southeast Fang Army."

After pausing, the strategist Tang Yan couldn't help asking: "Lord, are you really going to give up Hengzhou?"

Zhang Mingqi sighed and said, "This great governor underestimated the Polu Army. This time, Liu Ji only brought one million Polu Army southward, causing such huge losses to our Southeast Fang Army. And in such a short time, it seems that if our Southeast Fang Army wants to defeat the Polu Army, we must gather enough troops. Now we give up Hengzhou in order to allow our Southeast Fang Army to have time to gather troops."

Staff member Tang Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord, the war in Leizhou and Qinzhou is not over now. The Third Legion and the Sixth Legion have suffered unprecedented heavy damage. Our Southeast Fang Army wants to gather an army that can defeat the Polu Army, unless a large number of troops are drawn from the First Legion, Fourth Legion and Imperial Guard Corps. But in that case, perhaps the State of Lu should take advantage of the situation to rob."

Zhang Mingqi frowned and asked, "Mr. Tang, what do you think we should do next in the Southeast Fang Army?"

"Lord, although the Polu Army entered the southwest this time at the order of the court, Liu Ji, the commander of the Polu Army, must have led the army to be enemies with our Southeast Xiangjun. In order to avoid the defeat between our Southeast Xiangjun and Polu Army, it is better to make peace with the Polu Army!"

"To be kind? Mr. Tang's meaning is that he sat down with the Polu Army to discuss how to divide the five southwest prefectures?" Zhang Mingqi asked with a gloomy face.

"Lord, among the five southwest prefectures, only Leizhou and Qinzhou are the most important to our Southeast Xiang Army. As long as our Southeast Xiang Army controls Leizhou and Qinzhou, we will have the opportunity to expand into the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom. As for the remaining Hengzhou, Guizhou and Yuzhou in the five southwest prefectures, we can completely hand it over to the Polu Army."

Zhang Mingqi was silent for a while before nodding and said, "I will leave it to Mr. Tang to make peace with the Polu Army. I will convey the orders of this Grand Governor to Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin, so that they can give up Zheng'an City and retreat to Qinzhou. At the same time, the other two guards in Hengzhou will also retreat to Qinzhou! By the way, the two guards drawn from the Second Legion and the three guards drawn from the First Legion do not need to go to Hengzhou, but enter Qinzhou directly. Once we cannot reach an agreement with the Polu Army, our Southeast Fang Army will fight to the death with the Polu Army in Qinzhou!"

After easily defeating the main force of the Third and Sixth Corps of the Southeast Fang Army, the Polu Army had to slow down the offensive to solve the problem of more than 800,000 prisoners of war because there were too many prisoners. This gave Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin the opportunity to evacuate Zheng'an City. When the two received the order from Zhang Mingqi, there were only a few scouts of the Polu Army outside Zheng'an City, and the large troops of the Polu Army had not yet arrived here.

Zhou Jiling and Chen Hongxin immediately took more than 100,000 Southeast Xiangjun troops and hurriedly evacuated Zheng'an City, the prefecture of Hengzhou. At the same time, two other guards of the Southeast Xiangjun troops in Hengzhou quickly retreated to Qinzhou. Faced with the powerful combat effectiveness of the Polu Army, the Southeast Xiangjun had no choice but to give up the entire Hengzhou.

After entering Hengzhou, the Polu Army lost about 80,000 people in total, of which Mo Dao Bing lost more than 15,000 people. The various brigades of the Guards Army lost about 65,000 people in total. After capturing about 850,000 prisoners of war from the Southeast Fang Army, Liu Ji immediately ordered the various brigades of the Guards Army to select 65,000 people from these prisoners of war to supplement the vacancies.

In addition, Liu Ji also dispatched some officers and veterans from the Guards Corps. Based on this group of officers and veterans, plus the remaining 785,000 prisoners of war, he formed a new infantry brigade at once.

The prisoners of war in the Southeast Fang Army were all from Jin. Many of them had to join the Southeast Fang Army. Some of them were even soldiers of the Hengzhou Army, so they had no resistance to joining the Polu Army. Moreover, the treatment of the Polu Army was very good, which was completely different from the treatment of the Southeast Fang Army. After these prisoners of war joined the Polu Army, they even became much more active in training.

When Liu Ji learned that the remaining troops of the Southeast Fang Army in Hengzhou had given up the prefecture of Zheng'an City and other cities in Hengzhou, he retreated to Qinzhou. He immediately dispatched some troops from the Guards and Mo Dao Bing, and quickly took over Zheng'an City and various counties in Hengzhou.

Next, Liu Ji did not rush to march towards Qinzhou, and he remained confident that he would reorganize the newly formed twenty infantry brigades of the Guards Corps in Hengzhou.

Liu Ji currently reserves 326,700 Wei soldiers, 24,000 Tang Dynasty Mo Dao soldiers, 36,000 soldiers from the camp, 86,400 Ming Dynasty Baigan soldiers and 6,000 Han Dynasty Tiger Ben Army in the system. In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the twenty newly built infantry brigades as soon as possible, Liu Ji summoned 10,000 soldiers from the camp and directly dispersed them to serve as backbone of the twenty infantry brigades.

In addition to these 10,000 soldiers from the camp, Liu Ji did not summon other elite soldiers. Liu Ji was planning to keep them at critical moments.

From the attack on the Southeast Xiang Army's barracks north of Moyu City, until the main forces of the Third and Sixth Army of the Southeast Xiang Army were annihilated, Liu Ji absorbed a total of more than 470,000 soul values. Adding the nearly 20,000 soul values ​​left by Liu Ji before, the soul value in Liu Ji's hand became 490,000.

Liu Ji then bought two marrow-cleaning pills without hesitation, and gave two top generals with a force value of 98 points.

After taking Xizhiwei Limao Pills, Long Qi and Shi Wansui were promoted to peerless military generals one after another, and their military power values ​​became 101 points. The system then rewarded Liu Ji two top civil officials.

Tian Feng, whose military power is 45, his intelligence is 93, and his commander is 78. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao's adviser went to Jizhou to serve as a detacher. He was upright and had repeatedly advised Yuan Shao but refused to be adopted. Xun Yu, his adviser of Cao Cao's adviser, once commented on him as "strong and offended the superiors". Later, he was ordered to imprison him by Yuan Shao for admonishing Yuan Shao for admonishing Cao Cao. After the Battle of Guandu, Tian Feng was killed by Yuan Shao.

Ju Su, with a military value of 43, an intelligence value of 94, and a commander value of 79, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao's strategy under the tent, recorded in history that he was "very ambitious and good at strategy". He was once a disciple of Jizhou and was a county magistrate twice. Later, he became a deputy to Han Fu and was appointed as the cavalry commander by Han Fu. After Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, he appointed Ju Su as his responsibilities and often proposed good strategies to Yuan Shao, but many times Yuan Shao did not obey. Yuan Shao was defeated in the Battle of Guandu. Ju Su failed to escape and was captured by Cao Cao. He was executed by Cao Cao for refusing to surrender.

After Long Qi and Shi Wansui were promoted to peerless generals, Liu Ji looked at the remaining 90,000 soul points in his hand. He couldn't help but consumed another 64,000 soul points and summoned a top general from the system. Fortunately, Liu Ji was lucky for a while and summoned a top general with a force value of up to 99 points.

Huang Zhong, with a military force of 99 points, an intelligence of 74, and a commander of 78. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was one of Liu Bei's five tiger generals. He was originally a general of the Central Army under Liu Biao, and later returned to Liu Bei and helped Liu Bei attack Liu Zhang in Yizhou. In the 24th year of Jian'an, Huang Zhong killed Xiahou Yuan, a famous general under Cao Cao in the battle of Dingjunshan and was promoted to General of the Western Expedition. Liu Bei claimed that the Queen of Hanzhong was renamed the title of General of the Empress, and Huang Zhong was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei. The following year, Huang Zhong died of illness.

After summoning Huang Zhong, Liu Ji's soul value was only 27,120 points left. This soul value was no longer enough for Liu Ji to be proud of. However, Liu Ji believed that it would not take long before the soul value points in his hand could increase again.

On March 12, 432, the Great Jin Dynasty, in a conference hall of the prefecture and the governor's office in Zheng'an City, Hengzhou, Guo Jia reported to Liu Ji: "Lord, the Southeast Xiang Army has sent an envoy, hoping to divide the five southwest prefectures equally with our Polu Army. Among them, Leizhou and Qinzhou will return to the Southeast Xiang Army, Hengzhou, Guizhou and Yuzhou will return to our Polu Army."

Liu Ji sneered at the hearing: "The Southeast Governor has made a good plan. Hengzhou has fallen into the hands of our Polu Army, while Guizhou and Yuzhou are still the territory of the court. As long as the Southeast Xiang Army controls Leizhou and Qinzhou, we can continue to expand to the Great Zhou Kingdom. Our Polu Army mobilizes troops this time to seize Leizhou and Qinzhou, and tell the envoys of the Southeast Xiang Army that the Southeast Xiang Army can want to divide the five southwest prefectures with our Polu Army, but Leizhou, Qinzhou and Hengzhou must belong to our Polu Army, and Guizhou and Yuzhou can belong to the Southeast Xiang Army!"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Lord, the Southeast Xiang Army will definitely not agree to this division. If Leizhou, Qinzhou and Hengzhou are occupied by our Polu Army, then even if the Southeast Xiang Army obtains Guizhou and Yuzhou, it will not be able to border their Southeast Seven Prefectures. The Gui and Yu Prefectures and the Southeast Seven Prefectures will be separated by Leizhou, Qinzhou and Hengzhou."

Liu Ji said indifferently: "If the Southeast Xiang Army does not agree, then continue to fight. This Grand Governor doesn't want to divide the five southwest prefectures equally with the Southeast Xiang Army!"

At this time, Ju Su in the meeting hall said: "What the lord said is that Leizhou and Qinzhou are both close to the Great Zhou Kingdom. Whoever gets Leizhou and Qinzhou will have the opportunity to intervene in the Great Zhou Kingdom. Our Polu Army must not compromise with the Southeast Fang Army on this issue."

Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao and Tian Feng, the three top civil officials, also nodded one after another. Now the Polu Army has captured Hengzhou and destroyed more than one million troops of the Southeast Fang Army. Although the Polu Army is still at a disadvantage in terms of military strength in the five southwest prefectures, the Polu Army has taken the initiative with its strong combat power.

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Don't worry, lord, I know how to talk to the envoy of the Southeast Fang Army."

Liu Ji then asked Wang Ben, the commander of the Guards Army: "How are the newly formed twenty infantry brigades?"

Wang Ben said excitedly: "Report to the lord, the twenty infantry brigades were formed very smoothly. The Southeast wing prisoners of war were all very hard in training. In addition, among these twenty infantry brigades, there are more than 10,000 veterans of our Polu Army. Even if you bring these twenty infantry brigades to the battlefield now, there will be no problem."
