In a Tianzi guest room in the most luxurious Fulin Inn in Canglong City, the palace master of Kaiyang Palace in Guanghan Palace, known as Kaiyang Fairy Li Qin, smiled and said to Liu Yan and Lin Xien, the two deputy palace masters of Kaiyang Palace: "There has been news that the Queen Mother of the Jin Kingdom agreed to recruit the Red Turban Army in the early court today, and handed over the recruitment of security to Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, and Yang Zhong, the captain of the Ministry of Officials. ”

Liu Yan then said with a smile: "It seems that the three of us did not come to the capital of the Jin Kingdom in vain this time, since the Jin Imperial Court has relented, then the matter of Zhao'an is basically decided." ”

Lin Xien said at this time: "It depends on whether the Jin court can accept the conditions offered by Zhang Mingqi, if the Jin court does not accept it, it will be difficult to do Zhao'an." ”

Kaiyang Fairy Li Qin said indifferently: "Zhang Mingqi has given us the full authority to Guanghan Palace to help the Red Turban Army negotiate with the Jin Imperial Court to recruit An, we just need to try to fight for better conditions for Zhang Mingqi and the Red Turban Army, after all, Zhang Mingqi and the Red Turban Army have an inextricable relationship with our Guanghan Palace, but in any case, we must reach an agreement with the Jin Imperial Court to promote Zhao'an." ”

Lin Xien frowned and said: "But Zhang Mingqi passed us the bottom line of recruiting security that he himself and the Red Turban Army can accept, which is to ask the Jin court to recognize his title of King Yue, and canonize Qiongzhou, Suzhou and Lianzhou as Zhang Mingqi's fiefdoms, and the taxes of the three states are also owned by Zhang Mingqi, in addition, the Jin court must also give the Red Turban Army thirty guards of the imperial army establishment, among these thirty guards, Zhang Mingqi is responsible for the appointment of all officers, and the Jin court cannot interfere. ”

Kaiyang Fairy Li Qin smiled and said: "Zhang Mingqi is also asking for a sky-high price, let's not care about the bottom line of what tricks he offers, those conditions he offered, the Jin Imperial Court will not have a promise!" Since the establishment of the Jin State for more than 400 years, there has not been a king with a different surname, Zhang Mingqi's title of King Yue wants to be recognized by the Jin court, unless the Red Turban Army can defeat the broken army of the conquest general Liu Ji, but if the Red Turban Army can defeat the broken army, Zhang Mingqi will not accept the recruitment of the Jin court, Zhang Mingqi is ambitious, if he can have the opportunity to seize the world of the Jin Kingdom, Zhang Mingqi will never let go! ”

Liu Yan nodded and said: "Zhang Mingqi's conditions, the Jin court is indeed difficult to accept, whether it is the king, or Qiongzhou, Suzhou and Lianzhou, as well as the establishment of thirty guards, it is definitely beyond the bottom line of the Jin court, according to this condition, there is no possibility of success in recruiting An." ”

Lin Xien asked Kaiyang Fairy Li Qin again: "Palace Master, what if Zhang Mingqi doesn't accept the conditions we talked about?" ”

Kaiyang Fairy Li Qin sneered and said: "The 200,000 broken army easily destroyed the millions of red turban army, Zhang Mingqi has long been frightened by the broken army, Zhang Mingqi has been hesitant about recruiting An, but as soon as he heard that Liu Ji led the troops to rescue Huai'an City, he immediately agreed to Zhao'an, once the more than one million red turban troops in Huai'an City were also destroyed by Liu Ji's broken army, then Zhang Mingqi's capital will be gone." ”

After a pause, Kaiyang Fairy Li Qin continued: "When we reach an agreement with the Jin Imperial Court on the conditions of Zhao'an, as long as Zhang Mingqi is not confused, he will accept it." ”

On the night of January 17, 428 of the Great Jin Dynasty, in a tent of the Red Turban Army camp in the south outside Huai'an City, Zhao Lianjin, the commander of the more than one million Red Turban Army here in Huai'an City, held a letter in his hand and said in a deep voice to dozens of Red Turban Army generals, as well as the two deputy palace masters, two elders and six personal disciples of Guanghan Palace: "His Royal Highness King Yue has sent us an order to evacuate Huai'an City!" ”

"What? How could His Royal Highness King Yue let us evacuate Huai'an City? We have just annihilated nearly 400,000 elite troops of the imperial court here in Huai'an City! Peng Yong, a general under Zhao Lianjin, shouted loudly.

"Peng Yong, you give Ben Shuai a little noise, Ben Shuai's ears are not deaf!" Zhao Lianjin couldn't help frowning and accusing because Peng Yong's shouting was too loud.

Peng Yong immediately lowered his voice and said, "Dashuai, why is this Your Royal Highness King Yue?" ”

Zhao Lianjin sighed and said, "The Broken Army has come to Huai'an City!" ”

The shadow of the famous tree, as soon as they heard that the Broken Army was coming to Huai'an City, dozens of Red Turban Army generals couldn't help but gasp, the Red Turban Army lost more than one million troops in Qinhuai City, but almost all of them were the credit of the Broken Army.

At this time, Zhang Shaohua, the first fierce general under Zhao Lianjin, said with a big grin: "What if the broken army comes? Why are you afraid of the Broken Army? Dashuai, I haven't cut off the head of that Dou Bing yet, we can't withdraw from Huai'an City! ”

Zhang Shaohua has long shoulders and a round waist, is nearly two meters tall, and is only 20 years old this year.

Zhang Shaohua was recruited by Zhao Lianjin after leading his troops into Hangzhou, and Zhao Lianjin even thought that Liu Fengbao, known as the first fierce general of the Red Turban Army, may not be Zhang Shaohua's opponent, even a super fierce man like Dou Bing did not block Zhang Shaohua for 20 rounds, of course, it is not ruled out that there are other factors on the battlefield that affect Dou Bing's performance.

Although Zhang Shaohua's armed forces are brave and champion of the three armies, Zhang Shaohua belongs to a character with only one tendon in his head, to put it bluntly, he is a little lacking in heart, otherwise with Zhang Shaohua's martial arts, Zhao Lianjin will never only appoint Zhang Shaohua as a small captain.

Zhao Lianjin turned his head and glanced at Zhang Shaohua and said: "Shaohua, the Broken Army is not an ordinary imperial army, it is an elite army that spans the Western Regions and the grasslands, outside Qinhuai City, our Red Turban Army has lost more than one million troops because of the Broken Army, once the Broken Army arrives in Huai'an City, it will be meaningless for us to continue to besiege Huai'an City." ”

Zhang Shaohua rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Boss, I have also heard of the name of the Broken Army, they came just right, I still want to see how powerful the Broken Army is!" ”

Zhao Lianjin said with a wry smile: "Shaohua, there is no way to change the retreat, if you want to fight with the Broken Army, you can only wait later, in fact, in the heart of the commander, but I never want to meet the Broken Army on the battlefield, after all, our Red Turban Army is mainly infantry, and the Broken Army has tens of thousands of cavalry." ”

Chen Xiuyan, the deputy palace master of Tianji Palace of Guanghan Palace, said coquettishly at this time: "General Zhao, since we have decided to evacuate Huai'an City, we had better move quickly, and we must withdraw more than one million Red Turban Army soldiers from Qinhuai City to the territory of Qiuxi County before the Broken Army arrives in Huai'an City. ”

In order to support the Red Turban Army attacking Huai'an City, Guanghan Palace not only sent Wang Yuyan, the personal disciple of the Yaoguang Palace Lord, and Ding Mei, the personal disciple of the Kaiyang Palace Lord, to lead four inner disciples and twelve outer disciples of the Guanghan Palace to come to the outside of Huai'an City, and let Shen Muqing and Zhang Yingying, the personal disciples of the Tianxuan Palace Lord, lead four inner disciples and ten outer disciples of the Guanghan Palace, and also rushed to Huai'an City.

In the end, Guanghan Palace sent Chen Xiuyan and Xu Lijiao, the two deputy palace masters of Tianji Palace, as well as Jin Zhi and He Yiqian, the two elders of Guanghan Palace, and Huang Menglu and Wu Shuchang, two personal disciples of Tianji Palace Master, to lead eight inner disciples and twenty outer disciples of Guanghan Palace to Huai'an City to support the Red Turban Army.

Originally, among the Red Turban Army under Zhao Lianjin, there were four inner disciples and nine outer disciples of the Guanghan Palace who held military positions.

In this way, in the Red Turban Army outside Huai'an City, Guanghan Palace gathered two deputy palace masters, two elders, six personal disciples, twenty inner disciples and fifty-one outer disciples.

However, the people in Guanghan Palace would not have thought that there were two of them who had become Liu Ji's women, and when they heard that Liu Ji was about to arrive in Huai'an City with his troops, Shen Muqing and Zhang Yingying, the hearts of the two personal disciples, were very happy.

There are a total of 12 counties in Suzhou, one city refers to the state capital Huai'an City, now the six counties south of Huai'an City, have been occupied by the Red Turban Army, and Qiuxi County is adjacent to Huai'an City, Huai'an City to the south is Qiuxi County.

Zhao Lianjin nodded to Chen Xiuyan, the deputy palace master of Tianji Palace wearing the veil, and said, "Fairy Chen is right, the whole army will withdraw to the territory of Qiuxi County early tomorrow morning. ”

Peng Yong, a general under Zhao Lianjin, suddenly asked: "Marshal, if the Broken Capture Army does not give up and chases us into Qiuxi County, will we continue to retreat south?" ”

Zhao Lianjin shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness King Yue has entrusted the Kaiyang Fairy of Guanghan Palace to negotiate with the Great Jin Dynasty on behalf of our Red Turban Army and the Great Jin Imperial Court, presumably we took the initiative to evacuate Huai'an City, and the Broken Army will not continue to pursue, unless the negotiations in Canglong City have not been negotiated, otherwise our Red Turban Army and the Imperial Court Army will try to restrain themselves and will not make much move." ”

The matter of Zhao'an, the dozens of Red Turban Army generals in the tent didn't know about it before, and when they heard Zhao Lianjin's words at this time, they couldn't help but talk about it.

"Huh? Our Red Turban Army wants to accept the recruitment of the imperial court? This...... It's too sudden! ”

"Alas-if the imperial court didn't have a broken army, maybe His Royal Highness King Yue would be able to sit on the throne of Canglong City, and we would also become the founding heroes, but unfortunately there was a broken army, what should I do if I don't accept Zhao'an? Our Red Turban Army can't even deal with the 200,000 Broken Captives. ”

"It's so unwilling! If we surrender to the imperial court like this, what should we generals do? ”

"Our Red Turban Army still has more than two million troops, even if the imperial court has the support of the Broken Army, we have to make concessions to our Red Turban Army in some places, and our generals should be able to continue to lead the troops if there is no accident!"

"It is impossible for His Royal Highness the King of Yue to hand over all the military power, and the army still has to rely on us generals to lead the troops."

Hearing the discussion of the generals of the Red Turban Army in the tent, Zhao Lianjin waved his hand, and the tent instantly fell silent.

Zhao Lianjin opened his mouth and said: "According to the current situation, it is already the trend of the times for His Royal Highness King Yue to accept the recruitment of the Great Jin Dynasty, but you don't need to worry, even if you accept the recruitment of the Great Jin Dynasty, our Red Turban Army is still the Red Turban Army, and His Royal Highness the King of Yue is still our Royal Highness the King of Yue!" ”

After the two deputy palace masters, two elders, and six personal disciples of the Guanghan Palace left Zhao Lianjin's tent, they gathered in the tent where Elder Jin Zhi and Elder He Yiqian lived.

Wang Yuyan, the personal disciple of the Yaoguang Palace Master, asked, "Deputy Palace Master Chen, Deputy Palace Master Xu, Elder Jin, and Elder He, shall we continue to retreat to Qiuxi County with the Red Turban Army?" ”

Chen Xiuyan, the deputy palace master of Tianji Palace, immediately said: "We need to leave some people to contact Liu Ji, according to the meaning of the master, it is best to ease the relationship with Liu Ji." ”

Elder Jin Zhi said in a deep voice at this time: "Elder He and I have to stay, the disappearance of Elder Wu and Elder Wen is still confusing, and before Elder Wu and Elder Wen disappeared, they saw Liu Ji again, let's see if we can get some useful information from Liu Ji." ”

As soon as Jin Zhi's words were finished, Xu Lijiao, the deputy palace master of Tianji Palace, frowned and said, "Elder Jin, Elder He, regarding the disappearance of Elder Wu and Elder Wen, Deputy Palace Master Pang and Deputy Palace Master Chu of Yaoguang Palace have already asked Liu Ji to understand the situation, why should the two elders make another move?" The people we left in Huai'an City this time were to ease relations with Liu Ji, not to annoy Liu Ji! ”

Elder He Yiqian said: "I don't believe that the people of Wudang Mountain dare to poison Elder Wu and Elder Wen!" ”

Shen Muqing next to him immediately said: "Elder He, the disciple and Senior Sister Yingying, but I saw with my own eyes that Xuanyang Dao Elder Wang Chutong in Wudang Mountain killed two inner disciples and six outer disciples of our Guanghan Palace, and I still want to insult the disciple and Senior Sister Yingying!" ”

Zhang Yingying also echoed and said: "Elder He, what Senior Sister said is not bad at all, Senior Sister and I have personally experienced this matter!" ”

Elder He Yiqian coughed and said, "Mu Qing and Ying Ying, don't misunderstand, I mean, with Xuanyang Dao Elder Wang Chutong alone, it is absolutely impossible for him to be the opponent of Elder Wu and Elder Wen, and the other elders and protectors of Wudang Mountain who have the strength of peerless fierce generals will never dare to provoke our Guanghan Palace." ”

Chen Xiuyan, the deputy palace master of Tianji Palace, thought about it for a while and said: "In this case, I, Deputy Palace Master Xu, as well as Elder Jin and Elder He, will stay, and when the Broken Army arrives in Huai'an City, I will go to meet the captured general Liu Ji for a while." ”

Shen Muqing then suggested to Chen Xiuyan: "Deputy Palace Master Chen, the inner disciples and outer disciples of our Guanghan Palace have all held military positions in the Red Turban Army, while several of our personal disciples have no positions, and there will be no big war in the future, it is better for a few of our personal disciples to stay, I and Senior Sister Yingying also had a relationship with Liu Ji in Canglong City, if it weren't for Liu Ji who happened to bring someone to appear, Senior Sister Yingying and I might have encountered the poisonous hand of the Xuanyang Dao Chief Wang Chutong in Wudang Mountain." ”

The inner disciples and outer disciples sent by the Guanghan Palace are all male disciples, and these male disciples are now in the Red Turban Army, and they all hold the position of military marquis at the least.

Where did Chen Xiuyan know Shen Muqing's careful thoughts, so she simply agreed, "Then you six personal disciples should also stay!" ”
