The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 597 Conquering the Western Region

They were very capable of commanding troops, especially large-scale operations. The two of them had been commanders before. As for the remaining candidates, in addition to the remaining six brothers of the Chu family and the four brothers of the Ning family, there were also a group of commanders who grew up from the White Robe Army.

After following Jiang Fan for seven or eight years, hundreds of outstanding generals have emerged among them, each with outstanding abilities.

Today's Daxia is home to many generals, and any one of them can defeat the generals of other countries.

As for the remaining brothers of the Ning family and the Chu family, although they are also suitable to lead the army, they all have their own tasks, especially the brothers Chu Chengrui and Chu Chengxiong.

Jiang Fan arranged them on the Wo Island and cooperated with the people sent to govern the Wo Island. Before the Wo Island was completely stabilized, the two brothers could not return for the time being.

As for the remaining people from the Chu and Ning families, Jiang Fan decided to have some of them stationed at the border between South Vietnam and Baiyue to train South Vietnamese soldiers and be ready to attack Baiyue at any time.

On the other hand, soldiers were being trained in Silla and the present-day Northern Barbarian land. Jiang Fan was preparing to attack the Rakshasa Kingdom behind the Northern Barbarians.

Since he is preparing to unify the world, he must speed up his pace. With the technology and advanced weapons he now controls, there is no country that he cannot conquer!

As for the expedition to the Western Regions, Ning Pojun was finally chosen over Chu Chengfeng. After all, Ning Pojun had served as a commander-in-chief on the Western border.

Daxi was closest to Liaoxia, so Ning Pojun knew more about Liaoxia. The soldiers in Liaoxia were trained by the Ning family, so it was easier for Ning Pojun to lead them.

Therefore, under the appointment of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, Ning Pojun, a member of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, personally led the army to the expedition. Ning Potian took away all the 300,000 troops of Liaoxia to the west, and the task of guarding the Liaoxia area was given to the 100,000 new troops trained in the Central Plains.

As for the 300,000 follow-up troops from the Western Regions, after seeing only 20,000 of their own 100,000 troops flee in a panic, they were so frightened that they dared not advance any further.

An army of 100,000 was so crippled by 10,000 men that they would not dare to advance further even if they had 300,000 troops.

Even though the commander-in-chief was Jiang Zheng's confidant, he repeatedly urged the coalition forces organized by various parts of the Western Region to attack. However, the Western Region Army, which had suffered losses, was unwilling to set out no matter what.

The commander had no choice but to lead the 300,000-man army back. The food and baggage consumed by the army on this expedition were a heavy burden for the Western Regions.

Originally, Jiang Zhengxing thought that he could take over Liaoxia, obtain supplies, and then move all the way south.

But who would have thought that the vanguard of the 100,000-strong army was defeated, and the remaining 300,000 troops ran back without even a fight.

Jiang Zheng, who was staying in Kashi City in the west, was so angry that he almost killed all the generals from the Western Regions.

Unfortunately, he has too few Chinese people under his command. Even though his military strength has reached 600,000 to 700,000 now, the problem is that most of them are from various ethnic groups in the Western Regions.

The reason why these people were willing to submit to him was entirely because of the powerful weapons in his hands, plus he had 100,000 Chinese soldiers.

Even if the Western Regions people got the weapons from him, they would not dare to turn against Jiang Zheng, not only because Jiang Fan had a powerful army, but also because they still had to rely on Jiang Zheng for their supplies.

But when faced with life and death, they chose to save their lives, even at the cost of disobeying orders.

Jiang Zheng was so angry at this moment, but he could do nothing about it. Moreover, he was filled with shock and disbelief. He never expected that the combat effectiveness of his army had obviously increased several times.

But why couldn't they even defeat the Great Xia Army? One hundred thousand against ten thousand. They didn't even see the enemy, and then they lost only 20,000 people.

He began to feel a little panic in his heart at this moment. If he had known that Daxia was so powerful now, he would not have pretended to be a big shot and led the army to attack the Central Plains.

Wouldn't it be good to be a local emperor in the Western Regions? Now, if Daxia thought of him and Jiang Fan sent troops to attack him, he didn't know if he could withstand it.

Just as he was getting angry and unwilling, the 300,000-strong army was already halfway back.

At the same time, the 300,000 troops of Liaoxia had assembled, and Ning Pojun rushed to Yangguan Prefecture of Liaoxia when the army was ready.

Then, he led 300,000 troops to the Western Regions. They rushed to the Western Regions at the fastest speed. During this period, because of the business dealings with the Western Regions,

Although the terrain of the Western Regions was complex, there was a map, and even if the army marched slowly, it still entered the territory of the Western Regions safely.

At this time, the 300,000 troops from the Western Region had already returned. But just as they were dispersing, the army led by Ning Pojun launched an attack on the cities in the Western Region with the force of thunder.

The cities in the Western Regions were not ready yet, and they fell in less than a few hours. In front of the Daxia army, both the city defenses and the soldiers were like paper in front of the Daxia army.

The battle to conquer the west thus began, with Ning Pojun leading an army of 300,000 men, advancing with great momentum.

Although the conditions in the Western Regions were harsh, the 300,000 troops trained were able to endure hardships and adapt to the harsh conditions in the Western Regions in a short period of time.

The army captured the cities in the Western Regions at a very fast speed. All the nobles and tribal leaders of the Western Regions countries who had originally defected to Jiang Zheng turned to Daxia.

However, compared to Jiang Zheng's order to keep these people in the Western Regions, Jiang Fan's order was to take all the nobles in the Western Regions to the capital of Daxia and keep them in Daxia.

Without the nobles, the people of the Western Regions were relatively easier to manage. Ning Pojun conquered cities and developed the people's livelihood and economy at the same time.

The Western Regions were also stabilizing at a very fast speed, and when the Western Expedition Army attacked Kashi City, Jiang Zheng fled towards Tianzhu with his men.

He knew that his army was no match for the Great Xia Army. No matter how many troops there were, they all surrendered in the end. Unable to return, he could only choose to flee again.

This time the only place he could flee to was India, because there was no other way for him to escape. If he fled to the north, he would be fleeing to Northern Mongolia. If he fled to the south, he would be fleeing to Daxia, which he could not escape to. If he fled to the east, he would also be fleeing to Northern Mongolia. The only way was India in the west.

After Ning Pojun conquered the entire Western Region, he learned from the people of the Western Region that Jiang Zheng had fled to Tianzhu. This made him a little depressed and a little angry.

Jiang Zheng was so damn good at escaping. He was as slippery as a loach. When he saw the situation was not good, he turned around and ran away. He didn't even have a chance to stop him.

When he passed the news back to the capital, Jiang Fan was not surprised. It would be really strange if someone like Jiang Zheng could be caught in one fell swoop.

However, it would be useless even if he escaped to India, because Jiang Fan was already preparing to take action against Baiyue and India. In addition to Baiyue and India, Persia behind India was also Jiang Fan's target of conquest.
