Chinese General Summoning System

Chapter 503: Zhang Mingqi's olive branch

After signing an armistice treaty with Gaochang State, and formally annexing the 14 provinces and 16 dependent states of Gaochang State, Liu Ji took the tiger army, Mo sword soldiers, Xuan Jia soldiers, tiger and leopard horses, white horses to resign, and fall into the camp. The seven elite troops with Wei Wuzu, as well as two cavalry brigades and twenty infantry brigades of the Guards, embarked on the road back to Qianzhou.

The remaining ten infantry brigades of the Guards and the five cavalry brigades of the Steppe Corps rushed to the Beiting Duhu Mansion by another road.

The steppe regiment of the Beiting Duhu Mansion currently stationed in Beiting also has 20 cavalry brigades and five infantry brigades, of which five cavalry brigades have been expanded recently to cope with the threats of the surrounding nomads.

The ten infantry brigades of the Guards, according to Liu Ji’s order, will also be classified as the Steppe Corps. In this way, the total strength of the entire Steppe Corps will become 25 cavalry brigades and 15 infantry brigades. I believe that with the 1.6 million army of the Prairie Legion, even the Xianbei who migrated to the grasslands north of Beiting Duhu Mansion would not dare to act rashly against Beiting Duhu Mansion.

Because from dozens of beauties in Gaochang City, Liu Ji received another 58,000 elite soldiers produced by the system, making the total strength of the seven elite troops under Liu Ji's command more than 360,000.

Among them, there are more than 21,000 Huben Army, more than 30,000 Modao soldiers, more than 16,000 Xuanjia soldiers, more than 24,000 tigers and leopards, more than 26,000 Baima Congyi, and 60,000 camps. There are more than 187,000 people in Wei Wu.

Nowadays, there is no shortage of veterans in the prisoners, so Liu Ji no longer needs to send the elite soldiers produced by the system to the various brigades of the prisoners, so that Liu Ji can maintain the scale of these seven elite troops. It is equivalent to adding several hole cards to the Broken Army.

Before the signing of the armistice treaty between Gaochang State and the Lukewarming Army, King Mujehid of Gaochang State had asked the Lukebreaking Army to release all the members of Gaochang’s royal family, but Liu Ji didn’t want to kill Gaochang’s royal family now. , So he generously sent most of the royal family members, even many nobles and their families to Layy Province, where King Mujhid was located, but Liu Ji sent the tenths of King Mujhid of Gaochang Kingdom. Five princesses, six daughters, and fifty-four beautiful wives and daughters of the royal family or aristocrats were detained, and these beauties of Gao Changguo will fill Liu Ji's harem.

Regarding the occupation of his fifteen princesses and six daughters by Liu Ji, King Mujehid of Gaochang has no other way except to be angry. Now King Mujehid has no other power left in his hands. Not much, there is no capital to contend with the broken army, so King Mujieshid can only crush his steel teeth and swallow in his stomach about the occupation of his wife and daughter by Liu Ji.

Liu Ji didn’t care much about whether King Mujehid of Gaochang was angry or not. The fact that this time the Trapped Army was able to sign an armistice agreement with Gaochang, it can be said to have left a way for Mujehid to survive otherwise. If the army continues to attack, the last province in Mujehid's hand will definitely be captured by the Squadron.

Even if the King of Gaochang State Mujieshid hates Liu Ji again, he will no longer have the strength to find Liu Ji’s troubles, including the remaining three capitals of Gaochang State, Liu Ji no longer cares too much, the entire Gaochang State When the big forces add up, it is difficult to threaten the Protectorate of the Western Regions controlled by the Polu Army.

However, the Western Region Army Corps stationed in the 13 states of the Western Regions Protectorate still cannot relax. Although the Western Regions Protectorate has not yet bordered Dawan, Cheshi, and Parthsian States, these three countries must have gone through this war. Will treat the Polu Army and even the Protector of the Western Regions as their own rivals.

And with the strength of the Puppet Army getting stronger and stronger, Liu Ji's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. The future of the Western Regions Protector House will definitely not stop at the current thirteen states. If there is a chance, Liu Ji Don't mind putting the entire Western Regions, including Dawan, Cheshi, and Anxi, under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions.

After this war with the four major powers of the Western Regions, the Western Regions Corps has become the largest army group among the destroyers. It has 20 cavalry brigades and 40 infantry brigades, with a total strength of more than 240. One hundred thousand.

The population of the entire 13 prefectures of the Western Regions is around 27 million, which also includes nearly 10 million people from the five newly added states, as well as the millions of Jin people who have migrated to the Western Regions.

With a population of 27 million, it supports a standing army with a size of 2.4 million. To be honest, it's a bit of a military force, but before returning to Qianzhou, Liu Ji still ordered to protect the palace in the Western Regions. In each state, several garrison battalions were formed, and each garrison battalion had about 8,000 personnel.

Liu Ji is now truly wealthy. The capture in Gaochang City alone is enough to support the current millions of military troops for at least 20 years. Therefore, in the Western Regions Duhu Mansion and Beiting Duhu Mansion, and even Qianzhou, It is still possible to maintain very low land taxes and business taxes. Liu Ji does not need to search for people's fats to support the millions of soldiers under his command.

Just when Liu Ji led his troops back to Qianzhou from the Western Regions Protector's Mansion, the Suzhou Xiang Army who besieged Canglong City attacked Canglong City for more than two months, but still failed to break the walls of Canglong City.

For more than two months, the Suzhou Xiang Army has been mainly encircling the Canglong City, and the attack on the Canglong City is not strong. After more than two months of siege, the Suzhou Xiang Army has lost less than 250,000 people.

In fact, the Suzhou Xiang Army also fought fiercely against Canglong City for two days, but the walls of Canglong City were too high, and the imperial army in the city was full of troops. During the two-day fierce attack, the Suzhou Xiang Army suffered a lot of losses but it was almost difficult to attack the sky. The walls of Dragon City, even if the Suzhou Xiang Army successfully ascended the wall, were quickly wiped out by the imperial army on the wall. The Suzhou Xiang Army lost nearly 250,000 people in more than two months, most of which were It was lost in the two days of the fierce attack.

Although nearly 250,000 people were lost, the strength of the Suzhou Xiang Army in the Canglong City area did not fall but rose instead. Thanks to the steady stream of reinforcements from the Southeastern states that came to Canglong City, the Suzhou Xiang Army was in Canglong at this time. The total strength of the city area has reached 26 guards.

Seeing that Canglong City is so difficult to fight, Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the Xiang Army in Suzhou, finally decided to encircle Canglong City. After all, although Canglong City has a lot of food, it will eventually run out. You must know that there are not only one in Canglong City. The imperial army of more than one million and millions of people consume tens of thousands of stone of food every day.

During these two months, the Suzhou Xiang Army besieged Canglong City while embarking on a series of major moves in the southeastern states.

Today, the seven prefectures in the southeast of Great Jin Dynasty, in addition to half of Suzhou including Qinhuai City, are also controlled by the imperial army. The rest of Qiongzhou, Suzhou, Lianzhou, Zhejiang, Fuzhou, Hangzhou, and half of Suzhou are all controlled by Suzhou. The Xiang army was occupied, and a large number of court troops changed their course and joined the Suzhou Xiang army.

The hundreds of thousands of elite frontier troops stationed in Zhejiang and Fuzhou were also led by various generals to join the ranks of the Suzhou Xiang Army. Now the Suzhou Xiang Army is in addition to the 26 guards in the Canglong City area. In the entire southeastern states, the Suzhou Xiang Army also has 28 guards. Many of the newly-arranged guards of the Suzhou Xiang Army were formed on the basis of the soldiers and horses of the original imperial court.

Facing the siege of Suzhou Xiang Army and not attacking, although Canglong City is not dangerous for the time being, as the siege time gets longer and longer, the hearts of the people in Canglong City have become more and more floating.

On the night of March 7th, 429, Da Jin, in a study room in the residence of Wu Ziyu, the official secretary of the Canglong City, the official secretary Wu Ziyu had a solemn face to the household secretary Zhang Shunran; Cavalry General Li Hong said: "Now Suzhou Xiang Army has been besieging Canglong City for more than two months. Although Suzhou Xiang Army still has nothing to do with Canglong City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the food stored in Canglong City is enough for the soldiers and civilians in the city. It's been three months, I think our thirteenth family should make plans early!"

The Li family where Hussar General Li Hong is located has now joined the small group in the thirteenth family, so Li Hong also appeared here today on behalf of the Li family.

Hussar General Xiao Su frowned and said: "According to the news that just came from the Protector of the Western Regions, Liu Ji's army has forced Gao Changguo to sign the armistice treaty and ceded a large amount of land to the army. Come, the main force of the Broken Army can return to Dajin from the Western Regions and come to Canglong City to relieve the siege. Will we wait a little longer? After all, there is enough food in the city for three months, and we still have time."

At this time, the Shangshu Zhang Shunran of the Hubu Army said: "The Broken Army can defeat even the coalition forces of the four powers of the Western Regions. Once the Broken Army comes to Canglong City with the might of a big victory, it may be able to relieve the Suzhou Xiang Army's siege of Canglong City. But who knows if Liu Ji, the conquered general, will be unruly at the time, if Liu Ji wants to rebel, maybe even Canglong City can't stop Liu Ji's smashing army!"

Hussar General Li Hong said in a deep voice: "Then what should we do? Could we open the city gate to welcome the Suzhou rebels into the city?"

In fact, Hussar General Li Hong has always been opposed to the family getting in touch with the Suzhou Xiang Army. After all, Li Hong led the army to the Red Scarf Army, the predecessor of the Suzhou Xiang Army. Hong even led the imperial army and had been fighting hard with the Suzhou Xiang Army. Li Hong had many loyal subordinates, relatives and friends who died at the hands of the other side. Li Hong had no good feelings for the Suzhou Xiang Army.

However, the fate of the family is difficult. Even if Li Hong is unwilling, he has to represent the Li family to participate in the meeting held by the small group in the thirteenth family that has already been on line with the Suzhou Xiang Army.

Chen Sikai, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, hesitated and said: "Actually, it is not impossible to welcome the Suzhou Xiang Army into the city. After all, Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the Suzhou Xiang Army, gave us the thirteenth family's opening conditions. They should give Canglong City. Zhang Mingqi, our thirteen families are still among the top families in the entire Dajin!"

Zhang Mingqi is not willing to be really in Canglong City with the 13th family. Now Zhang Mingqi has thrown out an olive branch to the 13th family. As long as the 13th family dedicate the Canglong City to the Xiang Army in Suzhou, everyone in the 13th family The important ministers of the imperial court, the official positions and generals remained unchanged, and even the thirteenth family could still control the 16 guards of the imperial army.

Zhang Mingqi also promised to the thirteenth family that Zhang Mingqi would not touch the interests of the thirteenth family in the prefectures and counties of Dajin.

Of course, Zhang Mingqi will not come to Canglong City for nothing.

The Jin imperial court will establish a new position of prime minister, the position will be higher than the six crown lieutenants, before the emperor takes charge of the government, instead of the emperor in charge of all military and political power in the Jin Dynasty.

In addition, the number of forbidden troops in the Canglong City area will also be expanded. The original sixteen guards will be expanded to thirty-two guards. Except for the sixteen guards controlled by the thirteenth family, the remaining sixteen guards will be adapted with Suzhou Xiangjun.

Hussar General Xiao Su said immediately: "Zhang Mingqi said it sounds very nice. According to his promise, even if he controls the power of the Jin court, the interests of our thirteenth family will not have much impact, but who of us I can guarantee that Zhang Mingqi's words will count. What if we dedicate Canglong City to the Suzhou rebels and Zhang Mingqi repents?"

Hussar General Li Hong followed: "General Xiao's words are reasonable~www.wuxiahere.com~ Zhang Mingqi returned to the court and was appointed as a pastoralist in Suzhou. His words can make people believe a little! Once we open the gates of Canglong City, it will be a knife and a fish, and then our thirteenth family will let Zhang Mingqi handle it!"

The official secretary Wu Ziyu said in a deep voice: "Whether Zhang Mingqi can speak counts, no one really knows, but our thirteenth family still controls the sixteen guards of the forbidden army, and there are hundreds of thousands of families in each family. Our thirteenth family is not without the ability to resist. What's more, our thirteenth family holds sixteen guards and hundreds of thousands of guards, which is a kind of restraint to Zhang Mingqi. Zhang Mingqi may not dare to risk the world’s disgrace and attack us Family of the Three Generations."

Hussar General Xiao Su wrinkled his brows slightly and said: "Even if all five of us agree to dedicate Canglong City to Zhang Mingqi, what will happen to the other eight? Can our five families carry the other eight? The door opened secretly. In that case, our thirteenth family would be divided, and Zhang Mingqi would not have any scruples about our thirteenth family!"

The official secretary Wu Ziyu categorically said: "Our thirteenth family decided not to split, especially at this critical juncture. Once our thirteenth family splits, it is equivalent to giving Zhang Mingqi a chance to go back. As for the other eight families, we can Let’s talk one by one, and there must be a lot of people who understand the other eight. If you don’t offer Canglong City, let’s talk about it after you have explored the tone of the other eight!"

Hussar General Xiao Su and Hussar General Li Hong glanced at each other, and both saw the bitterness of each other in their eyes. They were both unwilling to succumb to the Suzhou Xiang Army.
