Xin Qin'er was in charge of the government and peace talks in Muzhou, but Lu Qi left Muzhou before the envoy of Yue State came and personally led a 50,000 army to Ganzhou. Ganzhou sent military information. It was Chu that launched a counterattack after losing Ganzhou.

The competition for Ganzhou was expected by Lu Qi. Chu State attacked Jin State and returned in vain. When he returned, he saw that Ganzhou was taken away by Jin State, so he would naturally attack Ganzhou in a fierce way.

Lu Qi asked Leng Rong to meet Zhang Ji, and also brought suggestions on how to defend Ganzhou, which was to occupy important county towns in Ganzhou and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Now, the reinforcements from Ganzhou have reached 70,000, which are 40,000 Suzhou troops and 30,000 troops to guard Zhangzhou. There are 50,000 troops personally led by Lu Qi to switch troops towards Ganzhou. Lu Qi went here mainly to preside over the establishment of the Guangchang Military Prefecture, allowing Ganzhou to station 120,000 troops from Jin State.

Ganzhou is a strategic location based on the important meetings of the Five Ridges and the key points of Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong and Hunan. Since ancient times, it has been said that it has inherited the south and opened the north, called the east and responded to the west, pacified Baiyue in the south, and looked at Zhongzhou in the north. Lu Qi's possession of Ganzhou was laid the foundation for his future march to seize land.

When Lu Qi led his army to Ganzhou, the 100,000 troops of Jin State were in a state of fighting on their own. Zhang Ji's 30,000 troops occupied Qianhua County in the northeast of Ganzhou, 30,000 Zhangzhou garrison occupied Xingguo County in the north of Ganzhou, and 40,000 Suzhou troops occupied Ganxian and Yudu County respectively.

Ganzhou has a vast territory, with Gan County, Yudu County, Xinfeng County, Xingguo County, Qianhua County, Ruijin County, Nankang County, Dayu County, Anyuan County, Longnan County, Shangyou County, and Guangchang County, a total of 11 counties. According to the military situation, the population can reach more than 700,000.

Ganzhou belonged to the Tang State more than ten years ago. Later, when the Tang State lost Jiangbei, Ganzhou was occupied by the Nanyue State. Eight years ago, Chu State destroyed Nanyue, and Ganzhou was appointed as the Chu State. After the Chu State occupied it, it stationed 50,000 Yuansheng Army.

Now that the Chu State has taken a large-scale capture of the Tang State, the Yum Army has attacked Fuzhou and Jizhou. In fact, a strategic decision-making mistake will definitely be a step-by-step mistake, and will be passive step by step.

The rise of Jin State's alien army was naturally surprised. Facing Jin State's envoys to seek peace, Chu State fell into a difficult choice and agreed to be afraid of raising a tiger to become a disaster. The geography of Jin State seriously threatened the southern border defense of Chu State and had to station troops to defend, but Chu State had already attacked Tang State and needed military strength to deal with Tang State's counterattack.

In a dilemma, the envoys of Yue State came to seek alliances and requested to destroy the suddenly rising Jin State. The Chu State immediately tended to form an alliance with Yue State. The existence of Jin State could already leave the army to bite Chu State at any time. Deng cooperated with Tang State when counterattacked, which would cause Chu State to fall into two fronts. The military strength of Chu State was not obvious, and the financial resources to support the war were also scarce. There was a severe drought in the west and it was impossible to support the war.

The State of Chu gathered 80,000 troops to attack Jianzhou. The General of Chu strategically underestimated the army of Jin. The information collected also reflected that the majority of Jin forces were mobs, and only the 80,000 troops to attack Yue were good at fighting. Chu and Yue reached the conditions for alliance and destroyed the Jin army of Chuzhou together, Jianzhou, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Fuzhou all returned to Chu.

So the Chu army assembled 80,000 troops and drove the war military forces of Fuzhou and Jizhou to Xinzhou. Then, Xinzhou attacked Jianzhou and rushed to Chuzhou Jin army through Jianzhou. The Chu army had no intention of attacking Jin'an Prefecture and solved the strongest military force of Jin State, and the remaining military force would definitely surrender.

However, the Chu army was too late to attack strategically. When they entered Jianzhou, Jin State had already taken the initiative to attack, forcing Wu Sheng's army to win a great victory. After learning about it, the Chu army had to retreat, but the Chu army could not expect that Jin State would even dare to divide its troops to attack Fuzhou and Ganzhou in a crisis situation.

Zhang Ji's 30,000 Zhang Wu's army was indeed a military force with weak combat power, but even if it was a mob, the 30,000 troops could easily break through each county town with only a few hundred or thousands of defenders. Even after the army surrounded him, the officials of the county town opened the city to surrender.

Zhang Ji easily captured four counties in Fuzhou, and strictly enforced military discipline and did not allow harm to civilians. However, he bolted many wealthy families without hesitation. However, after he turned to Fuzhou, because of Leng Rong's existence, Zhang Ji did not dare to do anything randomly, and chose the landlord with a very evil reputation to search the house.

After returning to Fuzhou, the 80,000 Chu troops marched into Ganzhou in a frustrated and angrily. Zhang Ji followed Lu Qi's military order and occupied Qianhua County to defend a county. Thirty thousand troops defended a county town and launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle with 80,000 Chu troops. As a result, the Chu army could not defeat Qianhua County. The Jin army alone in Qianhua County defended very tenaciously and had an extraordinary morale, not like a mob at all.

As a result, a siege battle caused the Chu army to lose more than 10,000 soldiers. It can be said that it was the worst tragic battle since the attack on the Tang Dynasty. The commander of the Chu army was very frightened and suppressed the wrath of successive defeats and dared not attack the city again. If the Chu army continued to attack the city like this, they would probably have to pay half of their military strength even if they broke the city.

Zhang Ji's military strength also lost 3,000 people, but he had the confidence to defend it because the soldiers knew that this was the strategic layout of the King of Jin, and King of Jin would soon transfer more troops to fight.

Sure enough, the next day, he received a military report from reinforcements, saying that the 40,000-strong army was already attacking the Zhaowu army. After meeting 60,000 troops to guard Zhangzhou, defeating the Zhaowu army would lead to Ganzhou's 70,000 troops. With hope, it is one of the cornerstones for the stability of the morale of the army. Zhangwu army safely defended Qianhua County.

Of course, the Chu army also received unfavorable military reports. The 30,000 Zhaowu army, who had been confronting 60,000 Jin troops on the border of Zhangzhou, learned that the Jin army in Zhangzhou was about to come, and ran away first and retreated to Meizhou stationed. As soon as the reinforcements were attacked, they immediately moved to Ganzhou for support.

When he arrived in Ganzhou, he first captured Anyuan County, and then divided his troops into three groups. He occupied Ganzhou area with great force. He finally managed Yudu County, guarded Gan County, and ran to Xingguo County, echoing the Zhangwu army in Qianhua County. After learning about it, the Chu army besieged Qianhua County, he did not dare to divide his troops to deal with Jin reinforcements.

As soon as the 50,000 troops led by Lu Qi entered Ganzhou, it was unbelievable that the generals of the Chu army, who had a large army to support him, had a lot of military power. How could the Jin State have so much military power?

When the 50,000 army arrived, plus the 100,000 Jin army and 150,000 army were already in Ganzhou, even if there were many mobs, it was not something that the 70,000 Chu army could fight. After the Chu army commander made a decision, he had to retreat and leave Ganzhou and go to Jizhou to wait for the decision of the Chu court. If it was a war, he had to transfer more military forces, and it was a peace, which was the matter of the court's mission.

The 50,000 troops met the Jin army that occupied the city and guarded the city, and formed nearly 100,000 troops and arrived in Qianhua County. The Zhangwu army in Qianhua County was filled with joy and shouted on the top of the city. The soldiers of the Jin army who came to aid also responded with raising their arms and shouting. The scene was very spectacular.

As the King of Jin, Lu Qi met the general of the Zhangwu Army who was out to welcome outside the city. Then, under the walls of the soldiers, he walked into the east gate of Qianhua County with the generals of the army. After entering the city, Lu Qi personally asked the guards of the city gate in public and learned about the battle of the Zhangwu Army in the city.

The main generals of each army gathered in the back garden of the county government office and sat together in the open air to discuss matters with the King of Jin. Lu Qi first announced the establishment of the Guangchang Military Mansion. Zhang Ji was appointed as the commander of the Guangchang Military Mansion because of his military achievements. He was named the Marquis of Guangchang. Zhang Ji respectfully knelt down and thanked him.

After Zhang Ji returned to his seat, Lu Qi announced the establishment of the Nankang Army, Anyuan Army and Xishan Army, and appointed Xu Ming, the Marquis of Anguo, as the commander of Anyuan Army, and Wang Qidong, as the commander of Xishan Army, and was named the Marquis of Xishan.

Wang Qidong was originally the commander of the Qingpu Army and Zhang Hongbo's confidant general. He once attacked Taihu water bandits in Suzhou. This Western Expedition was relied upon by Xin Qin'er, so that Wang Qidong would stay in Ganzhou as the military commander. Lu Qi had consulted in advance. He said that Wang Qidong needed to stay in Ganzhou and that when Ganzhou was stable in the future, Wang Qidong could be transferred back to Suzhou.

Wang Qidong was not stupid either. Of course he understood why Lu Qi asked him to stay in Ganzhou. First, he valued his talent, and second, he formed a military restraint. Of course, he was willing to stay. This was the opportunity to become the commander of 30,000 troops, and now he has been awarded the title of marquis.

The Marquis of Xishan, with a fief of two thousand households in Wuxian, Suzhou, and had a thousand Xishan Guards. On the title of the title, Wang Qidong was defined as the commander of the foreign army, but the fief was temporarily secretly announced.
