In a tent in the camp of the Broken Prisoner Army, Fang Xuanling told Liu Ji: "Lord, the forbidden army in the capital has escorted grain and grass to our camp, and this grain and grass should be enough for our 200,000 Broken Army and 60,000 auxiliaries for two months. ”

Liu Ji nodded and said: "The grain and grass allocated by the imperial court this time are very happy, it seems that the traitor Zhang Mingqi is indeed tossing in the southeastern states. ”

At this time, Jia Xu in the tent said: "Lord, there is news from Heishuitai, the current war in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Zhejiang and Fuzhou, the imperial army has been at an absolute disadvantage, and now most of Zhejiang and Fuzhou, as well as nearly half of Suzhou and Hangzhou, have been captured by the Red Turban Army of the traitor Zhang Mingqi, the army controlled by the hussar general Li Hong and the hussar general He Guangzong can only rely on some fortified cities to resist the attack of the Red Turban Army, and the strength of the Red Turban Army is developing very fast, conservative estimates, It has to be more than three million people at the moment. ”

Liu Ji frowned and asked, "That Zhang Mingqi won't be able to expand the army so quickly because of the strong men, right?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Although the seven states in the southeast are rich, the problem of land annexation can be said to be the most serious in the entire Jin Dynasty, there are countless bankrupt farmers, Zhang Mingqi does not need to use the means of catching strong men to expand the army, Zhang Mingqi's Red Turban Army will raid some families and heroes who are loyal to the imperial court every time they capture a place, with these family income, Zhang Mingqi does not lack money to recruit soldiers at all, and many of the bankrupt farmers in the seven southeastern states have joined Zhang Mingqi's Red Turban Army for military salaries. ”

Liu Ji touched his nose and said: "This time we only brought two brigades of the Guards Legion, as well as one brigade each of the Western Regions Legion, the Grassland Legion and the Native Army, adding up to only 200,000 troops. ”

Jia Xu immediately said: "Don't worry, the lord doesn't have to worry, although our Broken Turban Army is only 200,000, but they are all elite, and Zhang Mingqi's Red Turban Army must be dominated by a rabble because of its rapid expansion, and this time our Broken Army is not fighting alone, just in the capital will gather the 36th Route Suppression Rebel Army, plus the territory of Suzhou, Hangzhou, Zhejiang and Fuzhou, the imperial army that is still insisting on fighting against the Red Turban Army, the subordinates think that there are 200,000 soldiers of the Broken Army who are enough to go south to quell the rebellion!" ”

"By the way, speaking of other counterinsurgency forces, among them, Zhao Ce is too guarded by Geshan County in Wanzhou, but he has some grudges with General Ben." Later, Liu Ji told Jia Xu and Fang Xuanling in detail about the causes and consequences of his grudge with Zhao Ce.

Fang Xuanling pondered for a while and said, "Lord, since that Zhao Ce and the lord already have an inextricable contradiction, it's best to find an opportunity to solve that Zhao Ce to prevent future troubles." ”

"Xuan Ling is reasonable, this time I went to the southeast to quell the rebellion, maybe there will be a chance to solve that Zhao Ce." Jia Xu followed.

"It's good for you to remember that there is Zhao Ce, and if you have the opportunity, help General Ben get rid of that Zhao Ce design."

On the morning of the second day when Liu Ji led the Broken Army to arrive outside Canglong City, Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, sent his nephew Dou Pet to the camp of the Broken Army outside Canglong City.

After Dou Pet saw Liu Ji, he said with a smile: "General Liu, it has only been more than a year since Chengyin City was goodbye, and I didn't expect that General Liu was not only promoted to the general of the imperial court, but also added the Western Regions Protectorate and the Northern Courtyard Protectorate to the imperial court. ”

At the beginning, after Liu Ji led his troops to defeat the 520,000 army of the sixteen tribes of the grassland, Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, sent his nephew Dou Pet to Chengyin City, hoping to persuade Liu Ji to join the Dou family.

Although Dou Pet failed to persuade Liu Ji to join the Dou family, Dou Pet met Liu Ji because of this.

Liu Ji arched his hand at Dou Pet and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Dou, I don't know what Mr. Dou did when he came to Liu's military camp this time?" ”

Dou Pet's intelligence value is as high as 81 points, and he is the nephew of Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, Liu Ji still remembers such a person.

Dou Pet said with a smile: "This time I was entrusted by my uncle to invite General Liu to a banquet, tonight in the Dou family's mansion, my uncle will set up a banquet, ready to pick up the wind and wash the dust for General Liu, and also invited a lot of court ministers and generals of various counterinsurgency forces. ”

Jia Xu and Fang Xuanling followed Liu Ji at this time, and when they heard that Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, was going to have a banquet for him in the mansion, Liu Ji couldn't help but look at Jia Xu and Fang Xuanling with inquiring eyes.

Seeing that Jia Xu and Fang Xuanling both nodded slightly, Liu Ji smiled and said to Dou Chong: "Captain Dou is really polite, then Liu is better to be respectful, Liu must go to Dou Mansion for a banquet tonight." ”

Hearing that Liu Ji agreed to go to the banquet, Dou Pet suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said with a brighter smile: "Then Dou Pet will immediately send someone to spread the news back to the city, and Dou Pet will accompany General Liu to return to Dou Mansion together." ”

After Dou Pet left Liu Ji's tent, Liu Ji frowned and asked Jia Xu and Fang Xuanling, "Will there be any danger for General Ben to enter Canglong City like this?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Don't worry, my lord, the biggest enemy of the imperial court now is Zhang Mingqi in the southeast, and the 200,000 troops of our broken army outside Canglong City are not decorations. ”

Fang Xuanling followed and said: "The imperial court will never take any action against the lord at this time, although the lord is relieved to go to the banquet, but in order to guard against some petty people, the lord still has to take Liu De and Liu Ren with him to be safe." ”

In the evening, Liu Ji took Jia Xu, as well as Liu Zha, Liu Di, Liu Xi, Liu Ka, Liu De and Liu Ren, six puppet bodyguards with peerless military strength, and twenty-six puppet bodyguards with top military strength, and entered the city from the north gate of Canglong City with Dou Pet.

Canglong City as the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, the city wall is 20 meters high, only the north city wall is equipped with six city gates, the four walls of Canglong City add up to a length of more than 100 miles, it can be seen how majestic Canglong City is.

The population of Canglong City exceeded four million, and there were more than one million people of the Jin Kingdom living here on the outskirts of Beijing, not including the 800,000 forbidden troops stationed inside and outside Canglong City.

Liu Ji and his party were all riding horses, originally it was forbidden to ride horses and gallop in Canglong City, but because of Dou Pet's presence, there would be no forbidden army to stop it, Liu Ji and his party rode horses and soon came to the mansion of Dou Yan, the captain of the military department.

At this time, at the gate of the Dou Mansion, although Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, did not come out to greet him in person, he sent his other nephew, Dou Bing, who is also the leader of the next generation of the Dou family, to greet Liu Ji here in person, which can be said to have given Liu Ji enough face.

After Liu Ji and the others dismounted, Dou Pet, who was following Liu Ji, introduced Liu Ji: "General Liu, this is the son of my second uncle, Dou Bing, the general of the chariot cavalry!" ”

Then Dou Pet introduced to Dou Bing: "Fifth brother, this is the two protectors of the famous Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate and the Northern Courtyard Metropolitan Protectorate, and the general Liu Ji was captured!" ”

"Haha, old nineteen, this time things are good! General Liu, my uncle has been waiting in the mansion for a long time, General Liu, please enter the mansion! Dou Binglang, the general of the cavalry, said with a smile.

Liu Ji used the scanning function of the system to learn that the cavalry general Dou Bing's force value was as high as 102 points, and his intelligence value and commander value were not low, both above 75 points.

Liu Ji was not surprised that Dou Bing had such a high force value, after all, he was a figure who appeared on the list of peerless generals in the world's heroes nine years ago.

Liu Ji learned from the system that the environment of this world is more suitable for the cultivation of people who practice martial arts, and the so-called environment can be understood as some mysterious gases contained in the air, which can also be called aura, so it is not surprising that there are so many peerless generals in this world, but there are very few characters in Chinese history who can be called peerless generals, not that the qualifications of those generals in Chinese history are worse than those who practice martial arts in this world, but they have not encountered an environment that is more suitable for practicing martial arts.

It's a pity that the military generals currently summoned from the system can't improve their force value under normal circumstances, otherwise top generals like Yang Zaixing, Dian Wei, and Gao Pet are likely to be promoted to the ranks of peerless generals, but now only by taking the marrow washing pill can it be possible to make Yang Zaixing, Dian Wei, and Gao Pet break through the force value of these generals to more than 100 points.

There are marrow washing and hair cutting pills for sale in the system mall, but one requires 200,000 soul points, and there is no guarantee that Yang Zaixing, Dian Wei, and Gao Zhong will definitely be promoted to peerless generals, which makes Liu Ji really reluctant to buy marrow washing and hair cutting pills from the system mall.

Fortunately, Liu Ji has a large number of puppet pills, and there are currently as many as six puppet bodyguards with the strength of peerless generals, so in the face of Dou Bing, a cavalry general with a force value of up to 102 points, Liu Ji did not feel any pressure.

"General Dou Bing's name, Liu can be described as thunderous, I am fortunate to see General Dou Bing today, it is really a blessing for three lives, I must have a good drink with General Dou Bing for a while." Liu Ji said with a smile to Dou Bing, the general of the cavalry.

"Haha, then Dou Bing and General Liu will get drunk today!" After Dou Bing finished speaking, his eyes swept over a group of armored warriors with iron masks beside Liu Ji, and Dou Bing's eyes suddenly showed a hint of horror.

With his intuition, Dou Bing could feel that these armored warriors with iron masks around Liu Ji all had extraordinary martial arts, and the momentum of several of them seemed to be not much worse than his own.

Dou Bing immediately shook his head secretly, it is impossible to secretly say, he should be too careful, the peerless fierce generals are not cabbages, it is impossible for so many to appear at once, unless it is the four major sects in the world, so many peerless fierce generals can be produced.

However, what Dou Bing can be sure of is that these armored warriors with iron masks around Liu Ji definitely have a powerful martial arts, and it is likely that most of them have the strength of top fierce generals.

Dou Bing welcomed Liu Ji and others into the Dou Mansion very enthusiastically, and brought Liu Ji to the hall where the dinner was held, and Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, was sitting behind a wooden couch at the head of the hall at this time, and there were many people sitting in the hall, and many people were surprised when they saw Liu Ji, after all, Liu Ji was only eighteen years old this year, and he was too young.

"The Western Regions Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate both protect and defend the Taishou of Ju'an County, and the general Liu Ji has seen Captain Dou!" Liu Ji bowed down and said to Dou Yan, the captain of the military department.

"Haha, General Liu Ji is a young hero, the old man has long wanted to see General Liu Ji, today General Liu Ji can come to my Dou Mansion for a banquet, Dou Mansion can be described as full of brilliance, General Liu Ji please take a seat!"

Liu Ji entered the hall, with only seven people by his side, Jia Xu, Liu Zha, Liu Di, Liu Xi, Liu Ka, Liu De and Liu Ren, and the remaining twenty-six puppet bodyguards stayed outside the hall.

Waiting for Liu Ji to sit on the ground behind a wooden couch not far from Dou Yan's right side, Jia Xu, Liu Zha and other seven people stood directly behind Liu Ji.

"General Liu Ji, the old man is here to introduce you, this is Lord Yang Zhongyang, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, this is Lord Wang Zhihuan, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Zhao Boran, Lord Zhao, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Sun Mingtao, this is the Lord Zheng Kai, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Households, Lord Zheng Kai, this is Lord Han Renji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, this is Lord Wu Ziyu, this is Lord Wu Ziyu, this is Lord Zhang Shunran, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, this is Lord Chen Sikai Chen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the one next to you is General Xiao Suxiao, the general of the hussars!" Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, introduced the people sitting behind his first ten wooden couches to Liu Ji one by one.

These ten people are all among the top ministers in the imperial court, and they are all members of the thirteenth family, Liu Ji hurriedly saluted these ten important ministers of the imperial court one by one.

Then Dou Yan, the chief lieutenant of the military department, introduced to Liu Ji: "The old man also hosted a banquet tonight for other generals of the counterinsurgency army, this is General Nie Tongnie, a guerrilla general under the command of Nie Long, a pastor of Meizhou Prefecture, and this is General Zhao Tu Zhao, a guerrilla general under the command of Sun Youhao, a pastor of Wanzhou Prefecture...... This is Lord Bao Weibao, the Taishou of Longbei County, Qianzhou, and this is Lord Li Kexuan, the Taishou of Yanchang County, Pizhou......"

With Dou Yan's introduction, plus Liu Ji and a total of 22 rebels, they all came to attend the dinner held in Dou Mansion tonight, including nine leading generals under the command of Zhou Mu, and twelve Taishou came in person, including Zhao Ce, the Taishou of Geshan County, Wanzhou.

When Dou Yan introduced the Taishou or generals of the other counterinsurgency forces, Liu Ji greeted him politely, but when Dou Yan introduced Zhao Ce, the Taishou of Geshan County, Anhui Prefecture, Liu Ji said very unceremoniously and coldly: "Zhao Changshi, no, it should be Zhao Taishou, I don't know if Zhao Taishou still remembers someone Liu?" ”

Zhao Ce smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course I remember General Liu, when Cangyuan City, the county town of our Geshan County, was besieged by the Liukou, thanks to General Liu who led the troops to relieve the siege!" ”

Liu Ji immediately sneered, "But some people put the credit for defeating tens of thousands of rogues outside Cangyuan City on themselves, and also framed Liu and Liu's two wives to conspire to assassinate the late Taishou Zhao Mincheng of Geshan County!" ”
