In a hall in the imperial palace of Jinluo City, the capital of Jinluo Kingdom, Xiahou Cheng, the Minister of War of Jinluo Kingdom, reported to Emperor Xiahou Zhen, "Your Majesty, the prisoner offering ceremony will be held on September 15th. In addition to inviting many tribe leaders from various barbarians, envoys from Moji Kingdom, Shisu Kingdom and Zheng Kingdom were also invited to attend."

The Moji Kingdom, Shisu Kingdom, and Zheng Kingdom are all in the south of the Jinluo Kingdom. Among them, the Moji Kingdom and Shisu Kingdom are also vassal states of the Great Yan Empire, while Zheng Kingdom is a powerful country in the southern part of the Jinluo Kingdom.

The combined land area of ​​Moji and Shisu Kingdom is almost the same as that of Fuzhi Kingdom, and the combined population of the two countries is about 14 million. In order to resist the threat of Jinluo Kingdom, Moji and Shisu Kingdom formed a military alliance decades ago, and successfully defeated an invasion of Jinluo troops before the Great Yan Empire attacked Jinluo three times.

Nowadays, the army of Moji and Shisu and Shisu countries is also strong. The army of Moji and Ji countries have 400,000 troops and Shisu countries have 450,000 troops. Although the Jin Luo Kingdom has always wanted to annex Moji and Shisu countries, it was intimidated by the military strength of the two countries and never dared to attack Moji and Shisu countries.

Moreover, Zheng, which is adjacent to Moji and Shisu, has always warned Jinluo that the Jinluo Kingdom would not allow the Jinluo Kingdom to invade Moji and Shisu.

Zheng State, which belongs to the Linhai country, has a land area of ​​about the same as that of two Fuzhi countries, with a population of more than 35 million. Its industry, commerce and maritime trade industries are quite developed. Zheng State's army is also quite powerful and has a very large maritime fleet. Jin Luo State has always been very afraid of Zheng State, especially the invincible maritime fleet.

Emperor Xiahou Zhen nodded slightly and said, "It just happened to use this prisoner offering ceremony to intimidate Moji, Shisu and Zheng, and let these three countries not do anything small. I heard that Moji and Shisu were planning to send troops to respond to the three armies of Yan before?"

Xiahou Cheng, Minister of War, said, "This is true. If it weren't for the three armies of Yan State, the three armies of our country, were soon repelled by our Jin Luo, and if Mo Ji State and Shi Su State were not able to do it well, they would really send troops to respond."

Emperor Xiahou Zhen sighed at this time and said, "According to the information coming from Yan State, Yan State is unwilling to accept its previous failure and is mobilizing supplies and replenishing troops, preparing to invade our Jin Luo again. What do you think of this?"

Liu Hengde, the left prime minister of Jinluo Kingdom, immediately said, "Your Majesty, although I, Jinluo, had repelled the three armies of Yan State before, the losses of our Jinluo army were shocking. The losses of our Jinluo army alone reached 700,000, plus the losses of the 900,000 wing troops, nearly one million barbarian troops, as well as the servants of Fuzhen and Dongcong countries, the total losses were close to 2.9 million. If the Yan State's army invaded our Jinluo again, it would not be easy for us to repel the Yan State's army. Therefore, I feel that it is best to sign a peace agreement with Yan State again. When our Jinluo completely takes the wealth, population and land of Fuzhen State into our arms, there is no need to be afraid of Yan State anymore."

Fan Junjie, the right prime minister of Jinluo Kingdom, immediately said, "Your Majesty, the left prime minister is right. Now our Jinluo Imperial Army has suffered huge losses. We must give the Imperial Army some time to recover and rest."

Emperor Xiahou said helplessly, "I also know that it is not appropriate to fight with Yan again, but it is not easy to sign a peace alliance with Yan. Yan will definitely put forward some very harsh conditions, such as letting us withdraw from Fujun and Dongcong Kingdoms, which is something I will never agree to."

The left prime minister Liu Hengde hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, if the conditions proposed by Yan State are too harsh, I, Jin Luo, of course, cannot agree. However, in the previous war, the elite of the Yan State's imperial guards also suffered a lot. Moreover, Yan State still needs to face the fierce nomadic peoples on the grassland. Therefore, I feel that Yan State may not have to use troops to Jin Luo. Maybe we can give it a try if there are still talks with Yan State."

Emperor Xiahou Zhen sighed and said, "Then it's okay to give it a try, but I will not agree to any harsh conditions."

Then Xiahou Zhen asked Xiahou Cheng, Minister of War, “How many barbarian troops are still employed now?”

Xiahou Cheng, Minister of War, immediately replied, "Report to Your Majesty, there are about one million barbarian troops currently employed by our Jinluo, of which 250,000 cavalry. However, since our Jinluo had hired a total of more than two million barbarian troops before, it would be easier if we wanted to hire more barbarian troops. After all, it is impossible for the various barbarian tribes to send all the adult males out to help our Jinluo country fight."

Xiahou Zhen said flatly, "Then increase the commission and strive to hire more barbarian troops to serve our Jin Luo. I have no confidence in signing a peace alliance with Yan State, so more troops must be gathered to deal with the re-invasion of the Yan State army!"

Wu Tingzhong, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of Jinluo State, said at this time, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my Jinluo State Treasury is still very full, enough to support the employment of more barbarian troops and fight with Yan for a few years."

Xiahou Zhen asked Xiahou Cheng, Minister of War, again, “How long will it take for our Jin Luo Imperial Army to recover its pre-war combat power?”

Xiahou Cheng, the Minister of War, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War is preparing to select some people from the barbarian soldiers to join the imperial guards, and then recruit some people from the wing army. If we only restore the strength of our Jinluo Imperial Guards for the 42 towns, it may take less than a month to do it, but it may take at least half a year to completely restore our Jinluo Imperial Guards for the 42 towns. After all, only after a long period of training can the new recruits be integrated into the 42 towns."

Emperor Xiahou Zhen asked, "Does the leaders of the barbarian tribes support us in recruiting barbarian soldiers to join the forty-two towns of the imperial guards?"

Xiahou Cheng, Minister of War, shook his head and said, "Those tribe leaders do not support this, so our War Department can only spend more money to buy soldiers or slave soldiers from the tribe from those tribe leaders."

Conflicts and even wars often broke out between the barbarian tribes, and even between the tribes of the same barbarian tribe, so a large number of captured barbarian men became slave soldiers. At least one-fifth of the barbarian army hired by the Jinluo Kingdom were slave soldiers.

Emperor Xiahou Zhen waved his hand, "Things that can be solved with money are nothing. The barbarians are fierce and aggressive, and they are the best source of soldiers. The Ministry of War should buy more barbarian soldiers and slave soldiers, and there is no need to consider the money matters! By the way, how many servants in the former Fuzhou Kingdom and the former Dongcong Kingdom still have? "

"Report to Your Majesty, the loss of the former Dongcong Kingdom's servant army was not transferred to the front line in large numbers. There are still 300,000 people. Although the former Fujun lost 300,000 outside the city, the Ministry of War recruited many young and strong people from the prefectures and counties of the former Fujun, which restored the former Fujun to 1.2 million."

"Transfer all the 1.5 million servants of the former Fujun and the former Dongcong Kingdom to Yingzhou Prefecture, Lingzhou Prefecture and Luzhou Prefecture, and let them cooperate with our Jinluo Imperial Army, the Xiang Army and the barbarian army to prepare to resist the reinvasion of the Yan army."

On the evening of September 3, 17th year of Jianping, Li Bin hid in a hilly forest and observed a temporary camp in the distance.

Li Bin looked at it for a while, turned his head to Xue Li, Yang Zaixing and others beside him and said, "This army should be mainly composed of people from Fujun. We will go around directly to Jinluo City at night."

However, just as Li Bin finished speaking, there was a sudden shout of killing in the camp in the distance. Li Bin and others hurriedly looked over carefully and found that the young and strong Fujun nationals in the country seemed to be wearing variegated clothes and the Jinluo soldiers in the orange clothes were chopping and killing each other. It was obvious that the young and strong Fujun nationals in the camp were far more than the Jinluo soldiers. However, almost no one was wearing armor. However, the Jinluo soldiers with a small number of people kept retreating.

Seeing this, a glimmer suddenly flashed in Li Bin's eyes, "Hurry! Everyone took off the clothes of Jinluo's Imperial Guard, and we will support those who pacify the country in the camp!"

Li Bin, Xue Li, Yang Zaixing, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai, Xu Chu, Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Lu Zhishen and the eight wolves generals quickly took off the orange uniform of the Jinluo Imperial Army, and then urged the horse to break into the temporary camp.

This temporary military camp was stationed in the tenth town of servants formed by the Jinluo Kingdom to recruit and pacify the powerful men of the Zheng Kingdom.

The Jinluo Kingdom organized the strong men from the original Fujun Kingdom and the original Dongcong Kingdom into one town after another, and the organization was larger than the Jinluo Imperial Army. Each of the servants had eight brigades under its jurisdiction. Together with the five thousand Jinluo army in charge of the military commander, the total force reached 60,000.

The five thousand Jinluo army in charge of the military commander were generally only hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Jinluo Imperial Army, and the others were drawn by the Jinluo Xiang army.

Before Fujun State was destroyed, the combat effectiveness of Fujun State's army was astonishingly low. There were even more than 2,000 vanguard cavalry of the Jinluo Imperial Army, and they defeated 100,000 Fujun Army.

Although there are only five thousand Jinluo troops in the tenth town of the servants, and most of them are Jinluoxiang troops, they gradually gained the upper hand in the battle with tens of thousands of young and strong people in Fuzhi.

However, when Li Bin brought ten powerful generals under his command and eight wolves generals into the camp, tens of thousands of young and strong men in Fujun seemed to have suddenly had a backbone and gradually controlled the situation.

Li Bin led ten powerful generals and eight wolves generals under his command. They would kill wherever there were many Jinluo officers and soldiers gathered, and soon they could slaughter all the Jinluo officers and soldiers gathered together.

After the three full moons of one big and two small rose, almost all the five thousand Jinluo troops in the camp were killed. Even some Jinluoxiang soldiers who knelt on the ground were killed by many young and strong men in Fujun rushed up and killed.

Only a few Jin Luo Imperial Army officers who were specially left by Li Bin were not killed by the young and strong men in Fujun.
