The Zhenxi Army took advantage of the opportunity to send troops and forcibly took over nearly half of the cities in Wulei and Shuhe.

At this time, the six major Western Regions countries, Yanzi, Yuli, Shache, Qumo, Wuli, and Xiuye, as well as forty other small Western Regions countries that had become vassal states of Liang, gathered a total of 1.3 million troops in response to the call of the Zhenxi Protectorate to assist the Zhenxi Army in resisting the invading army of the Songfan Kingdom.

Among them, the six major Western Region countries, namely Yanzi, Yuli, Shache, Qumo, Wuli and Xiuye, each sent out an army of 100,000, and the other 40 small Western Region countries sent out a total of 700,000 troops.

The main reason why these Western Regions countries were willing to respond to the call of the Zhenxi Army was not their nominal vassal status, but that they were angered by the barbarity of the Songfan Kingdom.

After the army of the Songfan Kingdom captured eighteen small countries in the Western Regions and more than half of the cities in Wulei and Shuhe, they launched large-scale burning, killing and looting against the white people in the Western Regions of these countries, using extremely cruel means.

And all the surviving white people in the Western Regions would be demoted to the lowest class of slaves.

In the royal palace of Qingyu City, the capital of Wulei Kingdom, Songfan Sangji, the naked eldest prince of Songfan Kingdom, climbed up from the body of the Queen of Wulei Kingdom and called in several personal guards.

"This woman is given to you as a reward. Let you also have a taste of the Queen of Wulei Kingdom." Songfan Sangji said casually to several personal guards.

Upon hearing this, several personal guards immediately rushed towards the Queen of Wulei, who had been tortured to death by Songfan Sangji.

Songfan Sangji, 35 years old this year, is famous throughout the Songfan Kingdom for his bloodthirsty and brutal character.

Even King Songpan Dorje had complaints about his eldest son's bloodlust and cruelty.

It’s just that Songfan Sangji made too many contributions in the process of the Songfan tribe unifying the entire plateau, and Songfan Sangji had a very high prestige in the army.

So even if King Songpan Dorje disliked his eldest son, Songpan Sangji was still the first heir to the throne.

Songfan Sangji was putting on his clothes when Cao Ding, the imperial teacher of Songfan Kingdom, came hurriedly to him.

Cao Ding was originally from Liang State and had the title of scholar. In the 373rd year of Daliang, Cao Ding, who lived in Zibo Prefecture, was captured by bandits and had to become a strategist to provide advice to the bandits.

Later, the bandits in Zibo were destroyed by Prince Yong'an. Cao Ding escaped by chance and by chance came to the plateau area south of the Western Regions, and took refuge with Songfan Dorje, who was the clan leader at that time.

The Songfan tribe was able to unify hundreds of tribes of all sizes on the entire plateau and establish the Songfan Kingdom. Cao Ding's planning was of great significance, so Cao Ding was appointed as the national teacher by King Songfan Dorje.

When Songfan Sangji saw Cao Ding coming, he quickly and respectfully said, "Grand Master, it's so late, what brings you here?"

Although Songfan Sangji is bloodthirsty and cruel, he is very well-behaved in front of Cao Ding.

"Grand Prince, the 50,000 cavalrymen led by General Fude Solang were suddenly attacked by the Liang State Zhenxi Army. General Fude Solang escaped with less than 2,000 cavalrymen." Cao Ding sighed.

Upon hearing this, Songfan Sangji's face instantly filled with murderous intent. "I haven't even settled the score with the Liang Kingdom's Zhenxi Army for taking advantage of the situation, but they've attacked my Songfan Kingdom first. It's a good opportunity to settle both the old and new scores together."

The taking advantage of the situation mentioned by Songfan Sangji refers to the Zhenxi Army forcibly taking over nearly half of the cities in Wulei and Shuhe.

At that time, under the persuasion of the national teacher Cao Ding, Songfan Sangji chose to restrain himself and did not order the Songfan Kingdom army under his command to launch an attack on the Zhenxi Army.

Cao Ding sighed and said, "It's true that the tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop.

I had originally considered digesting the results of this expedition to the Western Regions before challenging Liang's Zhenxi Army to a duel, but now it seems I can only confront this overlord of the Western Regions."

Songfan Sangji then said, "Don't worry, Imperial Master. After several reinforcements from home, the number of soldiers and horses under my command has reached two million, including 600,000 Snow Mountain Iron Cavalry.

I am confident that I can defeat Liang's Zhenxi Army and allow our Songfan Kingdom to replace the Zhenxi Army and become the new overlord of the Western Regions."

The army of the Songfan Kingdom was mainly composed of cavalry. Of the 1.5 million regular troops of the Songfan Kingdom, 1.2 million were cavalry. These 1.2 million cavalry equipped with armor were named Snow Mountain Iron Cavalry by the Songfan Kingdom.

Of the two million soldiers and horses mentioned by Songfan Sangji, except for the 600,000 Snow Mountain Cavalry, the remaining 1.4 million were temporarily recruited herdsmen.

For example, the 50,000 cavalry led by Fude Solang were all composed of herdsmen from the Songfan Kingdom.

Cao Ding said with some concern: "According to the intelligence we have obtained, there are nearly 80 million people in the territory controlled by the Zhenxi Army alone.

In addition, many countries in the Western Regions are still vassal states of Liang State. If things go wrong, the upcoming war between our Songfan Kingdom and Liang State's Zhenxi Army may lead to the Zhenxi Army receiving reinforcements from many Western Regions countries."

Over the past two years, people of the Liang clan from various countries in the Western Regions, as well as refugees from various states in the north of Liang State, have been continuously migrating to Xizhou. In fact, the total population of Xizhou has now exceeded 80 million.

Songfan Sangji smiled slightly, "National Master, judging from the Western Regions countries that we have destroyed, their armies are very weak in combat effectiveness. It is no wonder that Liang State can dominate the entire Western Regions with just the Zhenxi Army.

Our Songfan Kingdom's Snow Mountain Iron Cavalry will make Liang Kingdom's Zhenxi Army understand what it means to be an elite force."

When Cao Ding heard Songfan Sangji mention the Snow Mountain Cavalry, his expression relaxed.
