The reform of the Zhennan Army's military system was quite dynamic. After all, after the reform, the total strength of the Zhennan Army's army, the imperial guards, the government soldiers and the Zhennan Langqi directly under the Zhennan Grand Governor's Office suddenly expanded to more than 8.4 million.

This requires the recruitment of a large number of township soldiers to officially join the army. In addition, more than 2 million troops surrendered by Biyue Kingdom will also be part of the Zhennan Army.

This process is already quite tedious, not to mention that the establishment of Zhennan Army at all levels almost requires reorganization, so Li Bin felt that it would be great to complete this military system reform within one year.

In a study room in the Nanda Governor's Office in Chengzhen, Guizhou, Li Bin asked Chen Ping: "How are Han Zhen, Xu Ying, Wang Sheng and those people? Do you have any emotions?"

Chen Ping said respectfully: "Lord, according to the secret spies installed by Yunshe around the generals of the original Tu family army, most people can readily accept the new appointment. Only a few generals will complain in private, but most of them are targeting the three brothers Yang Zhongjin, Yang Zhongrong and Yang Zhongzhang."

Li Bin nodded slightly, "Yunshe must continue to closely monitor the interior of our Zhennan Army, and pull out those black sheep horses that are unwilling to be on the same side as the Zhennan Army, and remove the troops of our Zhennan Army."

"Yes, lord, Yunshe must strengthen surveillance in this regard."

At this time, Zhuge Liang walked into the study, "Lord, Mukhtar from the Holy Sword Sect is here again today. I wonder if the lord or not?"

Li Bin sighed and said, "Anyway, we have to meet you sooner or later, so let's meet Mukhtar today!"

Five months ago, the Roland Empire gathered more than 2.8 million troops to invade the Tuz Empire. As the war gradually advances to the hinterland of the Tuz Empire, the Roland Empire is still sending more troops to the Tuz Empire.

Faced with the invasion of the Roland Empire, although the Tuz Empire struggled to resist, the combat effectiveness of the Tuz army was obviously weaker than that of the Roland army. In addition, many nobles of the Tuz Empire voluntarily surrendered to the Roland army, which made the situation of the Tuz Empire even worse.

In just five months, the Tuz Empire had lost almost two-fifths of its territory and lost at least three million troops, of which the surrendered troops accounted for about half.

In a hall in the Grand Governor's Office in Zhennan, after Li Bin saw Mukhtar, the left guardian of the Holy Sword Gate of the Tuz Empire, he said helplessly: "Mukhtar protector, my marquis also wants to send troops to help the Tuz Empire resist the army of the Rolands. After all, my Dayan and the Tuz Empire have signed an alliance, but now all forces in our Dayan are fighting each other. The Zhennan army under my marquis want to rush to the Tuz Empire, but there is no way out."

If the Zhennan Army wants to go to the Tuz Empire, the only route now is to start from Yingzhou Prefecture, pass through Huaizhou Prefecture, Xuanzhou Prefecture and Yuzhou Prefecture, and then pass through the three vassal states west of the Great Yan Empire, before finally reaching the territory of the Tuz Empire.

Not to mention such an expedition, just to see if the alliance between the Great Yan Empire and the Tuz Empire is worth it. Let’s talk about the Luo family who controls Huaizhou Prefecture, the Xiao family who controls Xuanzhou Prefecture, and the Pan family who controls Yuzhou Prefecture, and at this time, they will never agree to the Zhennan army entering the territory controlled by the three families.

Mukhtar, the left guardian of the Holy Sword Gate, pondered for a moment and said, "Dear Zhennan Marquis, the Roland Empire is aggressive. If the Roland Empire annexes our Tuz Empire, then the next goal of the Roland Empire will definitely be the twenty-four vassal states to the west of the Great Yan Empire. In the future, the iron hoof of the Roland Empire may also set foot on the territory of the Great Yan Empire!"

Li Bin sighed and said, "Mukhtar's Protector, these marquis are also aware of the problem. The problem is that Huaizhou Prefecture, Xuanzhou Prefecture and Yuzhou Prefecture are controlled by other generals. The Zhennan Army cannot pass through Huaizhou Prefecture, Xuanzhou Prefecture and Yuzhou Prefecture, so they cannot rush to your Tuz Empire."

After pausing, Li Bin asked, "Mukhtal Protector, I wonder if your Tuz Empire has sent someone to ask for help from the Pan family in Yuzhou Prefecture. As far as I know, my 24 vassal states on the west side of my Dayan have a deep relationship with the Pan family. Perhaps the Pan family will be willing to send troops to help you Tuz Empire and resist the army of the Roland Empire."

Mukhtar hesitated and said, "To be honest, our Tuz Empire has sent several missions this time, one of which went to Yuzhou City in Yuzhou Prefecture."

After Mukhtar left, Li Bin frowned and asked Zhuge Liang: "Military advisor, do you think the Pan family will send troops?"

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and said, "Lord, among the eight generals, the Pan family only occupies one Yuzhou Prefecture, but its real strength may be stronger than the Xie family who controls Hengzhou Prefecture, Xiongzhou Prefecture, and Xinzhou Prefecture. The reason is the twenty-four vassal states west of my Dayan."

When the Tuz Empire tried to annex the vassal state of the Great Yan Empire, Wenli Kingdom, was the ancestor of the Pan family. He led 40,000 imperial guards and summoned more than 500,000 troops from the other twenty-three vassal states, defeated the 450,000 troops of the Tuz Empire, making the Tuz Empire never dared to invade any vassal state west of the Great Yan again.

With this battle, the Pan family had a huge reputation among the twenty-four vassal states west of the Great Yan. In addition, the Pan family has been guarding Yuzhou Prefecture for many years, which made the Pan family's influence in those twenty-four vassal states even more deeply rooted.

According to the information obtained by Yunshe, the Pan family is fully capable of mobilizing millions of troops from the twenty-four vassal states.

Yuzhou Prefecture is the largest and most populous state prefecture among the fifteen prefectures of Dayan. After the four major generals broke with the nine generals in the capital, the Pan family began to expand their army in Yuzhou Prefecture. At present, the Pan family has formed at least millions of troops in Yuzhou Prefecture.

Zhuge Liang continued: "Just as Mukhtar, the left guardian of the Holy Sword Sect, once the Roland Empire annexes the Tuz Empire, then the Roland Empire will definitely not let go of the twenty-four vassal states west of my Great Yan. This is something the Pan family absolutely does not want to see. Therefore, the subordinates believe that even if our Zhennan Army does not send troops to rescue the Tuz Empire this time, the Pan family will not see the Tuz Empire being eaten by the Roland Empire in one bite."

Li Bin immediately said: "Next, you military advisors must formulate plans to control the Western Barbarian region as soon as possible. When the entire Western Barbarian region is defeated, I will settle the previous grudges with the Roland Empire!"

If the Zhennan Army can control the entire Ximan area, then you can pass through a vast desert north of the Ximan area and enter the Tuz Empire to the north, and enter the Roland Empire to the west.

"Don't worry, lord, in the process of establishing the Eastern Barbarian Protectorate and the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, we have ended a large number of ways to deal with the various barbarian tribes, and control the Western Barbarian area and establish the Western Barbarian Protectorate. It is only a matter of time."

In a study room at the Pan family mansion in Yuzhou City, Pan Shijie, the head of the Pan family, asked his eldest son Pan Borong in a deep voice: "How are the troops going to fight?"

Pan Shijie was originally the Left Minister of War of the Dayan court, but after the four major generals and civil servants on the border also had a quarrel with the civil servants, Pan Shijie resigned from the Left Minister of War and returned to Yuzhou City.

Pan Borong immediately replied: "Father, the 400,000 army and 100,000 people who were about to be sent to the Tuz Empire have been assembled and can set off at any time."

Pan Shijie sighed and said, "I don't know if our Pan family's choice is right this time? These 400,000 troops are all elite troops of my Pan family, including the 100,000 cavalry that I finally formed."

The lack of cavalry in the Dayan Imperial Army before does not mean that there are no cavalry in the hands of the major generals.

Although the Yuzhou horse produced in Yuzhou Prefecture can only bear a weight of about 350 kilograms, it is still a war horse.

The Pan family, who had controlled Yuzhou Prefecture for many years, actually secretly controlled almost all the horse farms in Yuzhou Prefecture. As early as many years ago, there was a cavalry of more than 20,000 people in the Pan family's family army.

Like the Pan family, the other major generals and sects have always had cavalry troops in their family ranks, but there are not as many cavalry as the Pan family.

After the Pan family began to expand its army wildly, all the hidden strength of the Pan family was revealed, and now the Pan family has 250,000 cavalry alone.

Pan Borong said loudly: "Father, don't mention the alliance signed by my Dayan and the Tuz Empire. For the twenty-four vassal states, my Pan family will have to send troops this time. If the Roland Empire completely annexes the Tuz Empire, my Pan family will definitely have to go to war with the Roland Empire in order to preserve the twenty-four vassal states!"

Pan Shijie sighed again, "Yes! It is impossible for my Pan family to give up the twenty-four vassal states. Over the years, my Pan family has invested too much effort in the twenty-four vassal states. These twenty-four vassal states are also the biggest trump card of my Pan family."

After pausing, Pan Shijie asked, "How many troops can the twenty-four vassal states send in total this time?"

"Father, this time, all the vassal states learned that our Pan family sent 400,000 troops, and all the vassal states were afraid that the Roland Empire would attack them small countries after annexing the Tuz Empire. Therefore, all the vassal states were very active in sending troops. So far, the 24 vassal states should be able to send 1.1 million troops, of which about 300,000 cavalry and 800,000 infantry. In addition, the 24 vassal states could send about 700,000 civilians to help transport grain."

The twenty-four vassal states west of the Great Yan, the most populous Scorpion Mo country, only has more than three million, and several small countries even have a population of two or three hundred thousand.

The population of the twenty-four vassal states may only barely reach 20 million. As the state prefecture with the largest population in the Great Yan Empire, just one Yuzhou Prefecture is almost the same as the total population of these twenty-four vassal states.

Pan Shijie nodded with satisfaction, "One million troops, seven hundred thousand civilians, plus the 400,000 troops and 100,000 civilians of our Pan family, that is, 2.3 million troops, the army is not small, so we should be able to ask for more rewards from the Tuz Empire!"

Of course, it was impossible for the Pan family to help the Tuz Empire to help the Tuz Empire. The envoys of the Tuz Empire have promised that as long as the Pan family and the twenty-four vassal states west of Dayan agreed to send troops, and the troops sent were more than one million, the Tuz Empire would pay the Pan family a 10 million taels of gold to the opening fee.

From then on, the Pan family army and the armies of major Yan vassal states were all responsible for the material supplies and military pay within the Tuz Empire.

"Father, I will talk to the messenger of the Tuz Empire again."

On August 10, 2016, Ruikang, the Pan family, who controlled Yuzhou Prefecture, announced that they would send 800,000 troops and 400,000 civilians to the Tuz Empire to help the Tuz Empire resist the invasion of Roland's army.

At the same time, the Pan family has contacted the twenty-four vassal states headed by the Scorpion Kingdom. These 24 vassal states will send a total of 1.1 million troops and 700,000 civilians to cooperate with the Pan family's army to fight against the Roland army within the Tuz Empire.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Dayan Empire suddenly became in an uproar.

In a study room in the Zhongcheng Mansion in Yong'an City, the Zhongcheng Ling Zhang Jialuo frowned and asked the Zhongcheng Right Chief Jiang Wenjun: "The Pan family has really sent 800,000 troops and 400,000 civilians to the Tuz Empire? How many soldiers did the Pan family expand in Yuzhou Prefecture?"

Jiang Wenjun, the right chief of the Secretariat, shook his head and said, "The Pan family should have sent only 400,000 troops and 100,000 civilians. However, based on the information we have obtained, the Pan family has expanded about 250,000 cavalry and 900,000 infantry in Yuzhou Prefecture before. Even if the Pan family sent 400,000 troops this time, there will be at least 750,000 troops in Yuzhou Prefecture."

Zhang Jialuo sighed and said, "For hundreds of years, these generals have controlled the businesses in our Dayan area. Almost every family has accumulated wealth that is as rich as the country. Now the remaining eight generals have more than one million troops, and at least three to four hundred thousand troops. It is really difficult for the imperial court to restore control of the fifteen prefectures."

In fact, relying on the wealthy capital road, the civil servants of the Dayan court have now formed more than 700,000 troops, but with the more than 700,000 troops being able to defend the capital road, the civil servants burned high incense and did not dare to think about regaining the other fifteen prefectures.

Jiang Wenjun hesitated and said, "If we can get the support of Zhennanhou, the other eight generals will not be a concern."

Zhang Jialuo shook his head and said, "After the Zhennan Army annexed the Biyue Kingdom, it was equivalent to controlling twenty-three prefectures and two PRESIDENTIAL PROTECTIONS. If you were Li Bin, would you be willing to contribute these territories to the court?"

Jiang Wenjun smiled wryly and said, "This Li Bin is really amazing. The Zhennan Army did not occupy an inch of land in my original fifteen prefectures and capital roads in Dayan, but built such a vast territory from outside. Unfortunately, Li Bin cannot use it for us, otherwise the other eight generals may not be the opponent of the Zhennan Army."

"Not one of the other eight generals is an ordinary person, such as the Pan family in Yuzhou Prefecture. This time, we can mobilize millions of troops from the twenty-four vassal states west of our Dayan. It seems that we have to re-evaluate the strength of the Pan family."

Jiang Wenjun sighed and said, "Oh - the state is difficult!"

"By the way, let that girl Wang Min be in the Grand Governor's Office in Zhennan, don't act rashly. Now that Li Bin is dead, there is no benefit to the court."

Jiang Wenjun nodded, "Don't worry, I have ordered that girl Wang Min to lurk. I will not activate this piece unless I have to."
Chapter completed!
