The scholars heard Liu Ji ask, which girl did they have a private agreement with for life? The atmosphere at the scene couldn't help but be stunned, you must know that the sixty-nine people gathered here are almost all admirers of those Qinglou women who were bought by Liu Ji, where is there anything private for life, and many scholars here are just not angry that Liu Ji suddenly looted more than half of the talented and good-looking Qinglou women in Qinhuai City, and only then came at the invitation of friends.

However, Cai Chengyan, who provoked trouble this time, only hesitated for a moment, and then said loudly and unashamedly: "The student and the girl He Xiangya of Dingfang Academy can be said to be happy with each other, and I also ask General Liu to fulfill it, and the student will remember General Liu's great kindness forever." ”

After Cai Chengyan finished speaking, he gently touched Zhang Zilian next to him with his arm, and then Zhang Zijian stammered: "Student...... Student Zhang Zijiao, with ...... and Miss Qiu Tuniang of Qingchun Pavilion, too...... It's also a pleasure between the two, please General Liu...... General Liu was perfected. ”

After Cai Chengyan and Zhang Zijian finished speaking, the other scholars also suddenly realized that they were in love with a certain Qinglou woman, but there were a total of sixty-nine scholars here, and Liu Ji only bought nineteen people yesterday, plus Xiao Susu and Wang Kexin sent by the Sun family, there were only twenty-one beauties, so that many scholars said the name of the Qinglou woman, all of which were repeated, can't a Qinglou woman and two or three scholars be in love, right?

So Liu Ji didn't speak next, but these scholars themselves were in chaos first.

"Miss Li Qiuyan and I are in love, what are you two doing together?"

"Don't lie here, Miss Qiu Yan should be happy with me, Miss Qiu Yan is very annoying to you, how can she be happy with you? What a joke! ”

"You two are talking nonsense with your eyes open, Miss Qiuyan is obviously interested in me, otherwise why do you smile every time you see me?"

"That's because you look so funny, even the aunt who sells vegetables will laugh when she sees you!"

Dozens of scholars were caused by Liu Ji's words, and the scene suddenly became chaotic, and the lively people, looking at such a chaotic scene, couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing such a farce, Liu Ji smiled contemptuously, and then said to Shan Xiongxin beside him: "It is simply insulting to disperse this group of scholars to General Ben!" ”

After saying that, Liu Ji turned around and walked towards the house, and Cai Chengyan saw Liu Ji turn around and leave, and immediately shouted urgently: "General Liu, please wait a minute, we ......"

Before Cai Chengyan's words were finished, he was interrupted by Liu Ji's words that turned his head, "Don't tell General Ben those high-sounding things, fool General Ben, do you really think that General Ben will not dare to kill people?" Hmph—"

Then Liu Ji ignored these scholars and walked directly into the house, and the sixty-nine scholars gathered were dispersed by Shan Xiongxin and the Wei soldiers, and under Shan Xiongxin's hint, many scholars were secretly punched by the Wei soldiers.

Liu Ji returned to the courtyard where Jiang Lingwei and Qiu Tuoniang were in the Twelve Golden Hairpins of Qinhuai, and told the farce of the scholars without care, and then asked Qiu Tuoniang casually: "Tuoniang, there is a scholar named Zhang Zibin, do you know him?" ”

Qiu Tuoniang immediately said urgently: "Tell the general, Zhang Zilian is a person, Tuo Niang knows, but Tuo Niang has never had any love with Zhang Zijiao!" Zhang Zilian is lying, it's all nonsense, general, you must believe me! ”

Liu Ji laughed and suddenly hugged Qiu Tuoniang in his arms, "Of course General Ben believes in Tuo Niang, Tuo Niang is already General Ben's concubine, where would he fall in love with a poor scholar like Zhang Zijiao!" ”

Qiu Toniang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, she did have some admiration for the talented and suave Zhang Zijian before, but Qiu Toniang knew in her heart that with Zhang Zibin's family background, it was impossible to make up the cost of her own redemption, so she only kept a vague relationship with Zhang Zibin.

Now that Liu Ji has redeemed himself with diamonds worth 140,000 taels of gold, he has saved himself from the tragic fate he may face in the future, Qiu Tuniang is already very satisfied, and she doesn't want to make anything extraneous because of Zhang Zibin, not to mention that compared with a hero like Liu Ji, Zhang Zijian is too far behind in all aspects.

And Zhang Zilian's nonsense also completely dispelled Qiu Tuoniang's affection for Zhang Zijiao.

Liu Ji felt Qiu Tuoniang's delicate figure, and then directly in Qiu Tuoniang's exclamation, he picked her up, walked into the house, and also greeted Jiang Lingwei, let Jiang Lingwei go in together, Jiang Lingwei, who was blushing, only hesitated, followed Liu Ji and walked into the house.

Soon after, a red-faced voice rang out in the room......

In the Suzhou Jianyang City Pastoral Mansion, Zhang Mingqi, who claimed to be the King of Yue, sighed and said to Liu Yueting, a disciple of Guanghan Palace: "Miss Yueting, from Qinhuai City in Suzhou, Wu Zhan, the general under the command of this king, sent back the news that the king's red turban army suffered a defeat outside Qinhuai City, and was defeated by about 80,000 cavalry led by Liu Ji, and lost more than 300,000 people in the first battle, and now there are only more than 500,000 troops left in Wu Zhan's hands, and the situation is very critical. ”

Liu Yueting already knew the news, so there was no shock on her face at this time, "His Royal Highness King Yue, I heard that Liu Ji's cavalry of the Broken Army suffered almost negligible losses in this battle, I don't know if it's true?" ”

Zhang Mingqi said with some embarrassment: "It can't be said that it is very small, our Red Turban Army has lost more than 300,000 people, and the cavalry of the Broken Army has at least ...... You have to lose 10,000 or 20,000, maybe 30,000 or 40,000! ”

Liu Yueting, who was wearing a veil, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, according to the information that Guanghan Palace got from Qin Huaicheng, in that battle, the cavalry losses of the Broken Army were definitely less than 3,000 people, but Liu Yueting did not expose Zhang Mingqi.

"His Royal Highness King Yue, although in order to deal with the reinforcements sent by the imperial court this time, the Red Turban Army has already reinforced 200,000 troops to Qinhuai City in Suzhou, and we also have two personal disciples, seven inner disciples and twenty-six outer disciples in Guanghan Palace who went to Qinhuai City with the army, but because General Wu Zan lost more than 300,000 troops at once, the situation in Qinhuai City is very unfavorable for the Red Turban Army, and the addition of 200,000 reinforcements is only a drop in the bucket, and more troops must be sent."

Because Wudang Mountain sent many disciples to join the reinforcements sent by the Great Jin Dynasty this time, Guanghan Palace asked some disciples who were in various parts of the Great Jin Dynasty to evaluate the world's heroes and select the world's group of Fang genealogy, and rushed to Jianyang City to help the Red Turban Army resist the imperial court's army.

The two personal disciples who rushed to Qinhuai City with the 200,000 Red Turban Army were Su Ruoyu and Xie Fangfei, they were both the personal disciples of the Yaoguang Palace Lord in the Guanghan Palace, Su Ruoyu originally followed Liu Yueting to Jianyang City, and Xie Fangfei had just arrived in Jianyang City not long ago.

In addition to Liu Yueting, Su Ruoyu and Xie Fangfei, the three personal disciples of the Guanghan Palace, there are also three personal disciples of the Guanghan Palace in the Red Turban Army, namely Wang Yuyan, the personal disciple of the Yaoguang Palace Lord, and Ding Mei and Lu Xueshan, the personal disciples of the Kaiyang Palace Lord.

Wang Yuyan, the personal disciple of the Yaoguang Palace Lord, and Ding Mei, the personal disciple of the Kaiyang Palace Lord, have already rushed to Huai'an City in Hangzhou with some disciples of the Guanghan Palace with the troops of the 200,000 Red Turban Army for reinforcements.

Zhang Mingqi said with some embarrassment: "This time, the 1.5 million reinforcements of the imperial court are divided into two routes, one is the target of Suzhou Qinhuai City, and the other is the target of Hangzhou Huai'an City, this king has sent 200,000 additional troops to Qinhuai City and Huai'an City, and now there are not many troops that can be mobilized in the hands of this king, and it is difficult to send reinforcements to Qinhuai City again in a short time." ”

Liu Yueting pondered for a while and said: "Presumably, His Royal Highness King Yue already knows, our two elders of Guanghan Palace have arrived in Jianyang City, and now since the situation in Qinhuai City is critical, our Elder Wu and Elder Wen of Guanghan Palace can go to Qinhuai City, but we can't just let Elder Wu and Elder Wen go alone, right?" ”

Zhang Mingqi heard that the two elders of Guanghan Palace were willing to rush to Qinhuai City, and his face suddenly showed surprise, "Wu Zan sent a letter saying that Liu Ji is likely to have peerless fierce generals, if Elder Wu and Elder Wen are on the front line of Qinhuai City, then for the Red Turban Army soldiers in Qinhuai City, the role is definitely not inferior to 100,000 reinforcements!" Elder Wu and Elder Wen can't be allowed to go to Qinhuai City alone, this king will try to draw out 50,000 elite troops and follow Elder Wu and Elder Wen to Qinhuai City together, what does Miss Yueting think? ”

Liu Yueting nodded and said: "Now the key to the southeast battle situation is in Qinhuai City in Suzhou and Huai'an City in Hangzhou, and because the 260,000 broken army led by the general Liu Ji rushed to Qinhuai City in Suzhou, so the victory or defeat of the battle of Qinhuai City is equivalent to determining the direction of the entire southeast war situation, and this time I and Senior Sister Lu Xueshan will also follow Elder Wu and Elder Wen to Qinhuai City." ”

Zhang Mingqi heard that Liu Yueting was also going to Qinhuai City, hesitated for a moment and said: "It stands to reason that this time this king should personally conquer Qinhuai City, but here in Jianyang City, this king is still needed to take charge of the overall situation, so Qin Huaicheng can only ask Miss Yueting, well-please Miss Yueting give this king three days, and this king will raise an army of 150,000 to go to Qinhuai City with Miss Yueting." ”

The 200,000 Red Turban Army reinforcements who rushed to Qinhuai City had just entered the territory of Suzhou when they received the bad news that Liu Ji, the general of the conquest, led 80,000 cavalry of the Broken Turban Army to break through the hundreds of thousands of Red Turban Army outside Qinhuai City.

On the evening of December 15, at the temporary station of the 200,000 Red Turban Army in Dongzhu County, Suzhou, Chen Hongxin, the commander of the 200,000 Red Turban Army, sighed and said to Su Ruoyu and Xie Fangfei, the disciples of Guanghan Palace: "Miss Ruoyu and Miss Fangfei, outside Qinhuai City on the 13th, the hundreds of thousands of Red Turban Army besieging Qinhuai City were defeated by the 80,000 cavalry led by Liu Ji, the general of the imperial court, and the losses of our Red Turban Army exceeded 300,000. The situation may not get much better, after all, the imperial court still has 620,000 reinforcements, and they will arrive in Qinhuai City in the near future, alas——"

Su Ruoyu and Xie Fangfei were both wearing veils, but when they heard that the Red Turban Army besieging Qinhuai City had been wiped out by more than 300,000 people by the cavalry of the Broken Army, Su Ruoyu and Xie Fangfei couldn't help frowning when they were exposed outside.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Ruoyu asked Chen Hongxin, "General Chen, what about Liu Ji's cavalry losses?" ”

Chen Hongxin smiled bitterly and said: "Although the specific losses of the cavalry under Liu Ji are not clear, they will definitely not be much, maybe only three or five thousand people, or even less!" ”

Xie Fangfei said incredulously: "The Red Turban Army lost more than 300,000, while Liu Ji's cavalry only lost 30,000 or 5,000, such a battle loss ratio is simply unheard of, is this true?" ”

Chen Hongxin nodded and said: "This is absolutely true, there are still about 530,000 people left in the Red Turban Army besieging Qinhuai City, distributed in the east, south and west directions of Qinhuai City, thanks to the complex terrain in these three directions outside Qinhuai City, which is not conducive to the battle of a large force of cavalry, otherwise our 200,000 troops will not have to go to Qinhuai City again, if the terrain in these three directions outside Qinhuai City is flat, the remaining 530,000 troops will have no way to block the impact of the cavalry of the Broken Army under Liu Ji. ”

Then Su Ruoyu asked Chen Hongxin, "General Chen, then what are your plans next?" Are we still rushing to Qinhuai City? ”

Chen Hongxin said categorically: "Qinhuai City must go!" We have 200,000 troops here, plus the remaining 530,000 people in Qinhuai City, our Red Turban Army can still gather more than 700,000 troops outside Qinhuai City, and it is not without a chance to win, after all, the remaining 620,000 imperial reinforcements rushed to Qinhuai City are not all as elite as the Broken Army. ”

After a pause, Chen Hongxin said to Su Ruoyu and Xie Fangfei: "Miss Ruoyu, Miss Fangfei, the news from General Wu Zan of Qinhuai City says that there are a lot of fierce generals in the cavalry of the Broken Army under Liu Ji, and it is likely that there are several who are qualified to be on the list of peerless fierce generals in the world's hero spectrum, so I want to ask the two young ladies to quickly ask for help from the Guanghan Palace, and send several peerless fierce generals to the outside of Qinhuai City to suppress the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of our Red Turban Army!" ”

Su Ruoyu and Xie Fangfei looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes, if Liu Ji really had peerless fierce generals, there would be no rival figures in the 200,000 Red Turban Army they were in, and among the remaining 530,000 Red Turban Army in Qin Huaicheng, there would definitely be no peerless fierce generals.

Su Ruoyu said in a deep voice: "General Chen, is the news that there are peerless fierce generals under Liu Ji accurate?" ”

Chen Hongxin nodded solemnly and said, "I am friends of life and death with General Wu Zhan, and he will not joke with me on this matter." ”
