On the way to Huai'an City with his troops, Liu Ji received the news that the imperial court had launched negotiations with the Red Turban Army to recruit people, and more than one million Red Turban Army troops outside Huai'an City had already evacuated Huai'an City.

However, the hussar general Li Hong and the chariot cavalry general Dou Bing sent a message to Liu Ji, hoping that Liu Ji and the broken army could continue to rush to Huai'an City, so as not to break down the Zhao'an negotiations and the Red Turban Army besieged Huai'an City again.

Liu Ji has an indifferent attitude towards whether the Red Turban Army accepts the court's recruitment or not, but Liu Ji is still happy to see that the southeast counterinsurgency can be ended as soon as possible, so that he can lead the troops to return to his own territory earlier.

As for the hussar general Li Hong and the chariot cavalry general Dou Bing let the broken army continue to rush to Huai'an City, Liu Ji did not object, and continued to take the First Cavalry Brigade of the Grassland Legion, the First Infantry Brigade of the Western Regions Legion, the First Infantry Brigade of the Native Legion, the First Cavalry Brigade of the Guards Legion, and the twenty temporary infantry brigades of the Guards Legion, as well as 60,000 auxiliaries who escorted grain and grass, to Huai'an City, but the speed of the march slowed down a lot.

The Red Turban Army and the Great Jin Dynasty on the conditions of recruitment, the two sides still have great differences, until the Great Jin Dynasty 428 January 27, Liu Ji led millions of soldiers to Huai'an City, the representative of the Red Turban Army of the Guanghan Palace Kaiyang Fairy Li Qin, and the Great Jin Imperial Court's negotiators Dou Yan, the military department captain and the official department Yang Zhong, still did not reach an agreement.

After Liu Ji led the captive army to Huai'an City, he directly established a number of camps in the west outside Huai'an City, and did not lead the army into Huai'an City.

Before the more than one million troops of the Red Turban Army withdrew from Huai'an City, the regular troops of the imperial court, auxiliary soldiers and temporarily conscripted young men in Huai'an City had reached more than 600,000 people.

After determining that the Red Turban Army had more than one million troops, all of them had really retreated into Qiuxi County, south of Huai'an City, and more than 400,000 people of the 21st Imperial Court Suppression Rebel Army in Huai'an City immediately left the city and re-encamped in the north outside Huai'an City.

On the evening of 27 January, Liu Ji took Zhang Liang, Jia Xu and dozens of puppet bodyguards into Huai'an City, and came to the state pastor's mansion in the city.

Zhao Ce really didn't want to see Liu Ji, after all, there was a big contradiction between the two sides, and there was a huge difference in strength between the two sides, Zhao Ce was very worried that Liu Ji would take advantage of some reason to clean himself up.

Hangzhou Governor Li Kang is also the son of the Li family in the thirteenth family, and according to his seniority, he is also the cousin of the hussar general Li Hong.

Hussar general Li Hong, chariot cavalry general Dou Bing, and Hangzhou governor Li Kang gave Liu Ji a lot of face, and the three of them personally welcomed Liu Ji into the mansion at the gate of the state pastor's mansion.

In a hall in the Pastoral Mansion of Huai'an City, the hussar general Li Hong raised his glass to Liu Ji with a smile on his face and said: "General Liu, thank you for bringing troops to rescue Huai'an City, I salute General Liu." ”

Liu Ji held a glass of wine and said with a smile: "General Li is too polite, I didn't help much this time, I haven't arrived in Huai'an City with the Broken Army, and the thieves of the Red Turban Army have withdrawn." ”

Hangzhou Prefecture Mu Li Kang said with a smile: "Those thieves of the Red Turban Army outside Huai'an City are also afraid of General Liu's prestige, if General Liu does not come to Huai'an City with a million troops, the more than one million Red Turban Army thieves outside the city will not retreat so simply." ”

Hearing Hangzhou Governor Li Kang mention that Liu Ji brought a million troops, everyone at the banquet couldn't help but have some strangeness when they looked at Liu Ji.

You must know that Liu Ji originally only brought 260,000 people to the southeast, including 60,000 auxiliary soldiers, and now it has expanded to more than one million at once, which is simply speechless.

Dou Bing, the general of the cavalry, couldn't help but say at this time: "General Li, the Broken Army under your command has absorbed so many prisoners of the Red Turban Army, aren't you worried that there will be a mutiny?" ”

Liu Ji bared his teeth and said: "General Dou, many of these young people who participated in the Red Turban Army are just to eat a mouthful, after joining the Broken Army, they can not only eat well, but also receive a good salary every month, what reason do they have to betray the Broken Army!" ”

When Dou Bing, the general of the cavalry, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "That is, General Liu is rich and wealthy, so he can collect the hearts of these Red Turban Army captives, and it is no wonder that the more than one million Red Turban troops outside Huai'an City heard that General Liu was going to lead troops to rescue Huai'an City, so they directly retreated." ”

Liu Ji then asked the hussar general Li Hong and the chariot cavalry general Dou Bing: "General Li, General Dou, how is the negotiation between the imperial court and the Red Turban Army on Zhao'an?" ”

Hussar General Li Hong said: "According to the news from Canglong City, although there are still differences between the imperial court and the Red Turban Army, the differences are not too big, and I believe that there will not be too many problems with the recruitment of the Red Turban Army." ”

Liu Ji smiled and said: "That's good, the surroundings of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate and the Northern Courtyard Metropolitan Protectorate are not stable, and after the matter on the southeast side is over, Liu Someone should lead the troops back to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate as soon as possible." ”

Hussar General Li Hong then raised another glass of wine and said to Liu Ji: "General Liu, I will apologize to you for this glass of wine, my son who is not angry, provoked by others, dared to lead people to attack General Liu on the street, I have taught him a hard lesson, and I hope that General Liu will not remember the villain, and do not be like Yi Feng." ”

Liu Ji held the wine glass, still with a smile on his face, and said: "General Li, don't worry, your Li family has already made compensation for this, as long as Li Yifeng doesn't come to trouble someone Liu, someone Liu will definitely not make any trouble because of that incident." ”

After the hussar general Li Hong drank the glass of wine in his hand, he said to Liu Ji: "I have prepared a small gift for General Liu, which is outside the gate of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion at this time, and I hope that General Liu can be closer to our Li family in the future." ”

Liu Ji nodded and said: "As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, but someone Liu is very willing to be friends with General Li." ”

After the banquet, Liu Ji came to the gate of the state minister's mansion, there was already a carriage with a carriage, waiting for Liu Ji outside the gate, at this time the hussar general Li Hong, who saw him off, said to Liu Ji with a smile in a low voice: "General Liu, Huai'an City is also a very famous place for fireworks in the Great Jin Dynasty, among which the top ten Oiran in Huai'an City, all of them can be described as stunning, and the carriage is sitting in Ding Cuicui, one of the top ten Oiran in Huai'an, and this Ding Cuicui is still Qingqi!" Hehe, I wonder if General Liu is satisfied with this little gift? ”

The hussar general Li Hong originally planned to give Liu Ji all the three oirans owned by the Li family in Huai'an City, but because the more than one million red turban troops outside Huai'an City took the initiative to withdraw, in the end Li Hong was not willing to take out all the three oirans owned by the Li family, after all, each Oiran was worth at least 100,000 taels of gold.

When Liu Ji heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he had also heard that Huai'an City was second only to Qinhuai City in the entire Great Jin Dynasty, and on the way to Huai'an City, Liu Ji had the heart to buy some Qingqi with a charm value of more than eighty points in Huai'an City, in order to expand his harem, and at the same time get some systematic lottery opportunities.

In Qinhuai City, Liu Ji finally took all the twelve golden hairpins of Qinhuai, and now when he heard that there were still ten oirans in Huai'an City, Liu Ji's heart suddenly moved.

"General Li, I won't tell you, I'm a person who has no immunity to beautiful women, especially stunning beauties, General Li's gift, Liu is so satisfied, Liu Ji thanked General Li again."

"Hehe, as long as General Liu is satisfied!"

"By the way, General Li, I wonder if there are any larger houses for sale in Huai'an City? Now that the negotiations between the imperial court and the Red Turban Army on Zhao'an, I don't know when Liu wants to buy a larger house in Huai'an City, so as to house the gifts given by General Li. ”

"Where do you need General Liu to buy it, our Li family has an idle mansion in Huai'an City, and we just gave it to General Liu."

"I'm so embarrassed, someone Liu must pay!"

"It's just a house, General Liu don't see it outside, while it's not too late, I will immediately send someone to clean the house, so that General Liu can live in it tonight."

Because the hussar general Li Hong gave Liu Ji a big mansion, so on the night of January 27, Liu Ji did not go out of the city, but only sent a few puppet bodyguards back to the camp outside the city to report the news, and Liu Ji took Zhang Liang, Jia Xu and the remaining dozens of puppet bodyguards, as well as the Oiran named Ding Cuicui, to live in this big mansion, and that night, Liu Ji hugged Ding Cuicui to bed.

What made Liu Ji happy was that Ding Cuicui's charm value reached 92 points, and after Liu Ji seized Ding Cuicui's innocence, the system immediately rewarded Liu Ji with two lottery opportunities.

On the morning of the next day, several puppet bodyguards who went out of the city last night to report the news, returned to Liu Ji with a large number of diamonds, Liu Ji immediately took the diamonds, visited the more famous Qinglou in Huai'an City, and prepared to buy the other nine of the top ten Oiran in Huai'an City with diamonds.

The hussar general Li Hong soon received the news that Liu Ji wanted to buy the Oiran, and after discussing it with Li Kang, the governor of Hangzhou, he ordered the Li family to sell the Qinglou in Huai'an City, no matter who Liu Ji wanted to buy, to Liu Ji, and in terms of price, Liu Ji should also be given a preferential price.

The hussar general Li Hong and the Hangzhou Prefecture Mu Li Kang also sent people to say hello to other more famous Qinglou in Huai'an City, hoping that the Qinglou could cooperate with Liu Ji as much as possible and not offend Liu Ji.

Thanks to the help of the hussar general Li Hong and the Hangzhou governor Li Kang, Liu Ji used diamonds worth 1.06 million taels of gold to buy the other nine of the top ten Oiran in Huai'an, and Liu Ji also spent 690,000 taels of gold worth diamonds to buy 17 stunning Qingqi.

Of the other nine Huai'an Oiran, only one has 89 points, and the charm value of the remaining eight people is all above 90 points, while the seventeen people who bought it, two of them have a charm value of 90 points, and the remaining fifteen people have a charm value between 80 and 90 points.

Among the nine Huai'an Oiran, three of them are no longer Qingqi, but they are the same as Yu Lixiang and Zhang Anna in the Qin Huai Twelve Golden Hairpins, although they have begun to pick up guests, but they are unwilling to accept the guests, Qinglou will not embarrass them, so far there are not many men who can become their guests in the scene, so Liu Ji also bought the three of them with diamonds in order to get together the top ten Oiran.

On the evening of January 28, in the room of an inn in Huai'an City, the two deputy palace masters, two elders, and six personal disciples of the Guanghan Palace gathered here.

Chen Xiuyan, the deputy palace master of Tianji Palace, said disdainfully: "Liu Ji is worthy of the word lustful as life, and now the ten Qinglou women who are known as the top ten oirans of Qinhuai have all been taken into Liu Ji's pocket, and Liu Ji also ransomed the seventeen Qinglou Qinglu at once, for these Qinglou women, Liu Ji spent a total of 1.75 million taels of gold diamonds, and now those scholars in Huai'an City who are known as merry and talented people are about to fry!" ”

Xu Lijiao, the deputy palace master of Tianji Palace, frowned and said: "I didn't expect Liu Ji to be so lustful, when we go to contact Liu Ji, it seems that we have to be careful, after all, most of us are women." ”

Chen Xiuyan, the deputy palace master of Tianji Palace, said indifferently: "Even if he lends Liu Ji a few guts, he doesn't dare to fight the idea of our Guanghan Palace's personal disciples, otherwise even if he has millions of soldiers, our Guanghan Palace can also put him to death!" ”

Shen Muqing and Zhang Yingying, the personal disciples of Guanghan Palace next to them, did not change their expressions at this time, but in their hearts, they secretly said that in fact, without borrowing Liu Ji's courage, he already dared to attack the personal disciples of Guanghan Palace, and he had already hit the seven palace masters and fourteen deputy palace masters of Guanghan Palace.

Elder Jin Zhi said: "I don't think we need to wait any longer, we will go to see Liu Ji tomorrow, what do you think?" ”

Elder He Yiqian immediately said: "I think it's okay, just tomorrow!" ”

Chen Xiuyan and Xu Lijiao, the deputy palace masters of Tianji Palace, glanced at each other, and they all nodded, agreeing to see Liu Ji tomorrow.

Chen Xiuyan then turned her head to Zhang Yingying and said, "Yingying, you go get some food, let's finish dinner together, and then go back to the room to rest, and we will go to see Liu Ji tomorrow morning." ”

Zhang Yingying got up and said, "Disciple, I'm going to tell the inn to prepare a table of wine and food." ”
