With the first guard of Congzhou, Congzhou, the second guard of Fuzhou, Fuzhou, the second guard of Fuzhou, the second guard of Fuzhou, the second guard of Junzhou, and the two hundred and fifteen battalions led by Huang Gai, Chen Wu, Guan Sheng, Li Ba, Li E and Li Teng, the six men, also entered the Yingzhou Prefecture of Jinluo Kingdom. The total strength of Zhennan Army in the territory of Jinluo Kingdom has exceeded 1.3 million.

Faced with more than one million Zhennan Army with strong combat power, the Jinluo Army in Yingzhou Prefecture was simply ineffective.

In addition, Xiahou Cheng, the Minister of War of the Jinluo Kingdom, took most of the Jinluo army in Yingzhou Prefecture to retreat to the capital road. In early April of the 22nd year of Jianping, a prefecture, six county towns and forty-eight county towns in Yingzhou Prefecture of Jinluo Kingdom had all fallen into the hands of Zhennan Army.

In a hall in the Jinluo City Imperial Palace, Emperor Xiahou Zhen asked the left prime minister Liu Hengde with a bitter look on his face and said, "What do you say about Zhennan Army?"

The left prime minister Liu Hengde sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the Zhennan Army requires our Jinluo Kingdom to ced the Yingzhou Prefecture Lingzhou Prefecture and Luzhou Prefecture to Yan Kingdom before the Zhennan Army will stop the attack on our Jinluo."

Hearing the Zhennan Army's harsh demands, Xiahou Zhen was not angry, but asked Xiahou Cheng, the Minister of War: "Uncle, how many soldiers and horses are available to me, Jin Luo, on the Beijing Road? Can the Zhennan Army be blocked by the Beijing Road?"

Xiahou Cheng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, in the seven counties under the jurisdiction of Jinluo City and the Beijing Road, the Ministry of War has gathered fifteen towns of imperial guards, as well as 400,000 government troops and nearly one million temporary recruits. However, including the imperial guards, the proportion of new recruits is very large, and they are much worse than that of Zhennan Army in terms of combat effectiveness. In addition, our Jinluo Army is now low in morale, and I am indeed not sure that I can stop Zhennan Army. Maybe we will start a defense battle in Jinluo City again."

Emperor Xiahou Zhen asked again: "Uncle, how many troops do I have in Lingzhou Prefecture?"

Xiahou Cheng immediately replied: "Report to your Majesty, we have four towns of imperial guards in Lingzhou Prefecture, as well as about 150,000 soldiers in Lingzhou Prefecture. The young and strong men who were temporarily recruited can also be about 300,000 to 400,000, but it is certain that as long as the Zhennan army in Lingzhou Prefecture is invaded, it will be a matter of time before the Lingzhou Prefecture falls with our Jin Luo's army."

Emperor Xiahou Zhen then remained silent for a long time before saying with a melancholy expression: "Although I am willing to fight the Zhennan Army to the end, the alliance between the Liang Kingdom and the 12 Grassland tribes is now traitorous. It is hard to stop the millions of troops of the Zhennan Army by relying solemnly on my own. So I hope to... make peace with the Zhennan Army as much as possible."

Xiahou Cheng, Minister of War, and Liu Hengde, the left prime minister, looked at each other, and then Liu Hengde, the left prime minister, asked: "Your Majesty's meaning, is it because you agree with the conditions of Zhennan Army?"

Emperor Xiahou Zhen said with a wry smile: "Before, I, Jinluo, only the capital road, Yingzhou Prefecture, Lingzhou Prefecture and Yizhou Prefecture. If three capitals are ceded to the Zhennan Army, I, Jinluo, will only have one Yizhou Prefecture in addition to the capital road. My bottom line is to leave Luzhou Prefecture and Yizhou Prefecture, and at most, Yingzhou Prefecture and Lingzhou Prefecture are ceded to the Zhennan Army."

Then Emperor Xiahou Zhen said in a lonely tone: "After this battle, I, Jin Luo, may not have any chance of turning over again. In the future, I can only be a human being with my tail between my legs in front of Yan State."

When Li Bin and Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong learned that the Jin Luo Kingdom were willing to ced the Yingzhou Prefecture and Lingzhou Prefecture to the Zhennan Army, Li Bin discussed it with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and decided to agree to the conditions issued by the Jin Luo Kingdom.

Li Bin was already very satisfied with this. Li Bin had no plans to completely annex the Jin Luo Kingdom. Once the Zhennan Army really annexes the Jin Luo Kingdom, the Dayan court will not sit idly by. The other top generals of Dayan will have to share some of the interests at that time.

It is better to cut off the Jinluo Kingdom little by little. Yingzhou Prefecture and Lingzhou Prefecture have a population of about 10 million. After losing this ten million population, the Jinluo Kingdom will no longer pose any threat to the Zhennan Army and even the entire Dayan Empire.

Another reason why Li Bin, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong agreed to agree to the conditions of Jin Luo Kingdom was that Li Bin was preparing to teach Liang Kingdom a profound lesson.

Previously, Liangguo and Zhennan Army were so well that they did not violate the rivers. Unexpectedly, Liangguo colluded with the Jinluo Kingdom and the Twelve Grassland Alliance to fight against the Zhennan Army without declaring the war, so that the Zhennan Army lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Yingzhou Prefecture.

Li Bin has never been a generous person. Now Liang Country has lost all the rice, and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers have been destroyed by the cavalry of the Twelve Grassland Alliance. Of course, Li Bin is unwilling to miss this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

After the Zhennan Army took over the Lingzhou Prefecture of Jinluo Kingdom, the Zhennan Army in Yingzhou Prefecture divided into three groups, one led by Xue Li and the other led by Lu Xun. They attacked Dazhou Prefecture of Liang Kingdom with great momentum. The last route was led by Li Bin himself, passed through Guizhou Prefecture and attacked Caizhou Prefecture of Liang Kingdom.

Faced with the invasion of Zhennan Army, Liang State recruited a large number of cavalry from the people, and fought with Zhennan Army in Dazhou Prefecture and Caizhou Prefecture. However, in several wars, Liang State was the defeated side.

By the end of July of the 22nd year of Jianping, the Dazhou Prefecture and Caizhou Prefecture of Liang Kingdom were almost all occupied by the Zhennan Army. The Zhennan Army was preparing to attack the capital road of Liang Kingdom.

At this time, Jiang Xu, the emperor of Liang Kingdom, finally, under the persuasion of his ministers, reluctantly agreed to ced the Dazhou Prefecture and Caizhou Prefecture to the Zhennan Army, and compensate the Zhennan Army with another 10 million taels of gold and 60 million taels of silver.

Seeing that Liang Kingdom had surrendered, Li Bin did not make any more arrogance. He immediately sent people to sign an agreement with Liang Kingdom to ced Dazhou Prefecture and Caizhou Prefecture. At this point, the Zhennan Army seized the territory of four prefectures through this war with the Liang Kingdom of Jinluo Kingdom and the Twelve Grassland Alliance.

Because the Dayan court did not send reinforcements to the Zhennan Army before, Li Bin was very angry with the Dayan court. This time, the Zhennan army captured the Yingzhou Prefecture and Lingzhou Prefecture of Jinluo Kingdom, the Dazhou Prefecture and Caizhou Prefecture of Liang Kingdom. Li Bin did not say hello to the Dayan court, but directly established four outer guards in the above four prefectures.

In the name of strengthening control of the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate and the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, four new outer guards were added to these two Protectorate Mansions.

As a result, the number of outer guards in Zhennan's army increased to forty, among which Guizhou Prefecture Xiangzhou Prefecture Yingzhou Prefecture Lingzhou Prefecture and Caizhou Prefecture each had four outer guards, and the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate and the Southern Barbarian Protectorate each had eight outer guards.

Li Bin then integrated the soldiers of the prefectures in various prefectures and formed a large-scale Fubing Town.

Each Dubing Town of Zhennan Army will have five Dubing Brigades, and each Dubing Brigade will have five Dubing Barracks. Each Dubing Barracks will still have five teams of soldiers and three teams of men. With some direct troops of towns and brigades, the troops of each Dubing Town will reach about 55,000.

The Xiangzhou Prefecture of Guizhou will each have four prefecture towns, the Caizhou Prefecture of Yingzhou Prefecture of Lingzhou Prefecture of Dazhou Prefecture of Caizhou Prefecture, each will have three prefecture towns, the Fuzhou Prefecture of Congzhou Prefecture of Fuzhou Prefecture and the Shannon Prefecture of Dongman Protectorate and Nannon Protectorate will each have sixteen prefecture towns, a total of fifty-eight prefecture towns.

Xue Li was still the commander of Xiangzhou Prefecture and also served as the head coach of the first guard of Xiangzhou. The commanders of the other three external guards of Xiangzhou Prefecture were Fan Kuai Meng Tie and Xu Chu, and the commanders of the four prefectures and camps of Xiangzhou Prefecture were Shi Wengong Luan Tingyu Bian Xiang and Du Jie.

Guizhou Prefecture does not have a guard commander. The commanders of the four external guards are Huang Zhongyu, Luo Zhoubo and Ling Tong, and the commanders of the four public camps are Wu Songshi, Yang Hong and Wang Cang.

Li Bin appointed the garrison of Qin Qiong Yingzhou Prefecture and also served as the head coach of the first guard of Yingzhou. The head coaches of the other three outer guards of Yingzhou Prefecture are Yan Liangwen Chou and Zhou Tai, and the head coaches of the three Dubing Towns are Tao Siliang, Tao Siyuan and Tao Sipeng.

Li Bin appointed Yang Zaixing as the garrison of Lingzhou Prefecture and also served as the head coach of the first guard of Lingzhou Prefecture. The head coaches of the other three outer guards of Lingzhou Prefecture were Shi Wansui and He Ruobi Han Qinhu, and the head coaches of the three prefectures were Fan Hu, Xu Tianhao and Xu Tiantao.

Li Bin appointed Lu Bu as the garrison of Dazhou Prefecture and also served as the head coach of the first guard of Dazhou Prefecture. The head coaches of the other three external guards of Dazhou Prefecture were Zhang Liao Taishici and Pang De, and the head coaches of the three Dubing Towns were Han Zhen and Xu Ying Wang Sheng.

Li Bin appointed Yuchi Gong as the garrison of Caizhou Prefecture and also served as the head coach of the first guard of Caizhou. The head coaches of the other three external guards of Caizhou Prefecture were Wei Yanguanying and Cheng Pu, and the head coaches of the three Dubing Towns were Dong He, Fang Li, Yang Lun.

Lu Xun was still the commander of the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate, and also served as the head coach of the Eastern Barbarian First Guard. The head coaches of the other seven external guards of the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate were Long Qie Yuwen Chengdu Zhang He Huang Gai Han Dang Chen Wu and Gan Ning.

The commanders of the sixteen military towns of the Eastern Mansion Protectorate were respectively Zhu Yu, Ju Jing, Chen Jun, Xing Tao, Zhao Tong, Wei Xie, Shi Rui, Cui Bao, Meng Hu, Li Li Er, Li Teng, Hu Qian, Yang Zhongjin, Yang Zhongrong and Yang Zhongzhang.

Zhou Yu is still the commander of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, and also serves as the head coach of the first guard of the Southern Barbarian. The head coach of the other seven external guards of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, namely Gao Chong Zhao Yun Ma Chao Xu Huang Dian Wei Xiahou Dun Xiahou Yuan.

The commanders of the sixteen prefectures and military towns of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate were Liu Quan, Fang Song, Deng Yong, Song Qi, Gao Lian, Huang Cheng Qi, Kong Tao, Tu Yan Zhong, Tu Yan Deng, Tu Yan Yi, Tu Yan Xin, Tu Yan Yong, Tu Yan Yun Cao Xun.

Xu Sheng and Dong Xi were the commander of the two Fuzhou Prefecture towns, Pan Zhangdingfeng was the commander of the two Fuzhou Prefecture towns, and Guan Sheng and Lin Chong were the commander of the two Fuzhou Prefecture towns.

With a "pop" sound, an exquisite teacup was thrown to the ground by Zhao Zhe, the emperor of Dayan.

"What does Li Bin want to do? Could he want to rebel? He, Li Bin, dared to expand the twenty-four outer guards' imperial guards without the consent of the court, and they were all organized by the Fifth Brigade. In addition, the Fubing Town was created. The troops of a Fubing Town were even more than the outer guards' imperial guards' organized by the Fifth Brigade!"

Jiang Wenjun, the right chief of the Secretariat, immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, Zhennan Hou's intention to rebel is already very obvious. I ask Your Majesty to issue an order immediately to arrest Zhennan Hou's rebellion!"

Minister of War Xie Zhitong sneered and said, "Right Prime Minister, Zhennan Hou's letter has already stated that the reason why the new 24 external guards were newly formed was entirely to prevent the Jinluo Kingdom and Liang Kingdom and the grasslands from joining together again. This time, Zhennan Hou added four prefectures to our Dayan. The court not only did not reward Zhennan Hou, but instead wanted to arrest Zhennan Hou. What is the reason? Does the right Prime Minister really want to force the rebellion against Zhennan Hou?"

Jiang Wenjun, the right chief of the Secretariat, snorted coldly, "Mr. Xie, I know that your Xie family has a close relationship with Zhennan Hou, but Zhennan Hou's private expansion of the army this time has touched the bottom line of the court, and the court must not tolerate this."

Xie Zhitong, Minister of War, curled his lips and said, "At the time when the twelve tribes of the Jinluo Kingdom and the twelve tribes of the grassland gathered millions of troops to fight with the Zhennan Army, and the cavalry exceeded four million, but the court did not send one army and one soldier to support the Zhennan Army. Now Zhennan Hou has expanded some troops to prevent the Jinluo Kingdom and the Huzhu on the grassland? Once these three forces unite again, do you still expect the court to send troops to support the Zhennan Army!"

"Enough, don't go too far with Xie Shangshu. Now we are discussing how to deal with Li Bin's private expansion of the army!" Emperor Zhao Zhe did not want Xie Zhitong to continue to defend Li Bin.

Xie Zhitong hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this time the imperial court did not send troops to support the Zhennan Army. Zhennan Hou and the soldiers of the Zhennan Army will inevitably feel jealous. Once the imperial court takes too tough measures to expand the Zhennan Army this time, and if the Zhennan Army is not good, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Emperor Zhao Zhe gritted his teeth and said, "Did I let it bear it? Li Bin suddenly expanded the twenty-four external guards and was preparing to create fifty-eight military towns. In this way, his army would be more than the imperial court."

Xie Zhitong hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Zhennan Hou has always been loyal to the court. Besides, Zhennan Hou is still the son-in-law. There is really no need for the court to break up with Zhennan Hou."

After pausing, Xie Zhitong continued, "Your Majesty also said that the army under Zhennan Hou has more troops than the court. If Zhennan Hou gets angry, the court will not have enough power to suppress Zhennan Hou. Therefore, I suggest that the court might as well agree to the expansion of Zhennan Army this time. Now that we are rebelling in various parts of our Great Yan, stability is the most important thing."

Xie Zhitong's opinions actually represent the opinions of the top generals and sects of the Dayan military. Now there are fourteen top generals and sects in Dayan. Except for Li Bin, the Zhennan Li family, the other thirteen top generals and sects are not opponents of the Zhennan Li family.

If the Dayan court starts a war with the Zhennan Army, the thirteen top generals and sects of the Thirteen top generals will definitely be the first to be affected, which is something that the Thirteen top generals and sects of the Thirteen Nineties do not want to see.

Emperor Zhao Zhe knew in his heart that the court had no choice but to take the Zhennan Army now. Even if Da Yan could gather a million troops, he might not be able to defeat the Zhennan Army.

"Issuing an order to Li Bin. If he dares to expand his army privately, I will definitely not spare him!"
