Chapter 618: The Death of the Hero

Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the Southeast Xiang Army, finally chose to surrender to the Lu army, on December 13, 432 of the Great Jin Dynasty, when the Lu army arrived in Jianyang City, Zhang Mingqi led more than 600,000 remnants of the Southeast Xiang Army to defeat the general, opened the gate of Jianyang City, so far the Southeast Xiang Army, which had unified the seven southeastern states of the Great Jin Dynasty, was considered to have completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

In a palace in the imperial palace of Mengyuan City, the capital of the Lu Kingdom, Emperor Jiang Sheng said to Liu Mian, the chief lieutenant of the military department: "Taiwei Liu, how do you think the more than 600,000 troops of the Southeast Xiang Army should be accommodated?" ”

Zhang Mingqi was disheartened because of the rebellion of the military generals under his command, and he didn't even care about the military power, when Lu promised to give Zhang Mingqi a duke, Zhang Mingqi agreed to hand over the remaining 600,000 southeast wing troops in his hands, as well as half of Suzhou, to the army of Lu State.

Liu Mian, the captain of the military department, said: "Your Majesty, the troops with strong combat effectiveness in the Southeast Xiang Army have all defected to the Broken Army under the leadership of several generals, and the remaining more than 600,000 troops in Zhang Mingqi's hands are comparable to the strong men who transported grain in our Lu country. ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng pondered for a moment and said: "After all, these more than 600,000 Southeast Xiang troops took the initiative to surrender to our Lu State, and just integrating them into the Zhuangding team is inevitably a little inappropriate, we have to set an example for the other Jin State troops!" I felt that a group of generals and veterans could be drawn from various legions in Suzhou, and then some strong soldiers could be selected from the more than 600,000 Southeast Wing Army to form a new main army, and the remaining Southeast Wing Army would be supplemented to the strong Ding team. ”

Liu Mian, the captain of the military department, nodded and said: "Your Majesty has considered it thoroughly, and the minister will definitely let the new main army complete the reorganization as soon as possible." ”

Emperor Jiang Sheng continued: "In addition, send someone to escort Zhang Mingqi to Mengyuan City as soon as possible, I have always wanted to meet this southeastern governor of the Jin Kingdom, Zhang Mingqi can also be regarded as a heroic figure!" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will let the Third Army in Suzhou transfer a group of elites to escort Zhang Mingqi to Mengyuan City in the near future."

"Is there any movement in the broken armies of Suzhou and Hangzhou?"

"Your Majesty, the main force of the Broken Army has just arrived in Suzhou, and the Broken Army has not made any moves for the time being."

"Let the several legions that enter the territory of Suzhou take over the entire territory of Suzhou as soon as possible and prepare to attack Hangzhou, and at the same time, the various legions in Qiongzhou must also be prepared to attack Suzhou."

On the morning of 18 December, Liu Ji led 20 cavalry brigades of the Grassland Legion, 20 cavalry brigades of the Beiting Legion, 5 cavalry brigades and 5 infantry brigades of the Guards Legion, 5 cavalry brigades and 20 infantry brigades of the Native Legion, as well as 170,000 Tang Dynasty Mo sword soldiers, 550,000 Wei soldiers, 35,000 soldiers in the trapped camp, 20,000 Han Dynasty tiger soldiers, and 12,000 Tang Dynasty Xuanjia soldiers, and finally arrived at Qinhuai City, the state capital of Suzhou.

The reason why Liu Ji led his troops for more than a month was because Liu Ji led his troops to take over Meizhou and Yuzhou by the way, and transferred some local troops from Meizhou and Yuzhou to the infantry brigades of the Guards Corps and the Native Corps, while some officers and men of the Guards Corps and the Native Corps of the infantry brigades were left in Meizhou and Yuzhou by Liu Ji.

Guizhou, Yuzhou, and Leizhou in the southwest have all been taken over by the troops of the Guards Corps of the Broken Army at this time, because of the operation of the Thirteenth Family, the process of the Broken Army taking over the above-mentioned states and counties is quite smooth.

Counting the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou, fourteen of the twenty-four states of the Great Jin Dynasty have fallen into the hands of the Broken Army, as long as the Broken Army can defeat the invading army of Lu this time, then Liu Ji's entry into Canglong City will not be stopped by any force at all.

Liu Ji met with Zhao Lianjin, Zhou Jiling, Fan Dongying and Yuan Tianba, the four commanders of the former Southeast Xiang Army, and Tang Yan, the first strategist under Zhang Mingqi, the governor of the Southeast Metropolis, in Qinhuai City.

Through the scanning function of the system, it is known that Zhao Lianjin, force value 83, intelligence value 82, commander value 88, Zhou Jiling, force value 82, intelligence value 84, commander value 86, Fan Dongying, force value 105, intelligence value 77, commander value 79, Yuan Tianba, force value 105, intelligence value 73, commander value 78, Tang Yan, force value 53, intelligence value 90, commander value 73.

Among these five people, Zhao Lianjin and Zhou Jiling's three-dimensional values are above eighty points, Fan Dongying and Yuan Tianba have the strength of peerless generals, and Tang Yan has reached the level of top Wenchen, it can be said that most of the elites of the Southeast Xiang Army are here, and these five people also brought Liu Ji 1.4 million troops of the Southeast Xiang Army.

Liu Ji immediately tried his best against these five people, and Liu Ji also promised Zhao Lianjin, Zhou Jiling, Fan Dongying and Yuan Tianba that after defeating the invading army of the Lu State, he would form the Southeast Army of the Broken Army based on the 1.4 million Southeast Xiang Army.

With the addition of the 1.4 million troops of the Southeast Xiang Army, the Broken Capture Army has gathered more than 6.4 million troops in Suzhou and Hangzhou, not counting the 30,000 Han Dynasty Tiger Army, 30,000 Tang Dynasty Xuanjia soldiers, 40,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, 40,000 White Horse Congyi, 93,600 Tang Dynasty Mo Sword Soldiers, 150,000 Trap Camp Soldiers, 240,000 Eastern Jin Dynasty Beifu Soldiers, 270,000 Wei State Soldiers, 256,000 Ming Dynasty White Pole Soldiers, and 1,600 Qin State Warriors.

Tang Yan also sent a big gift to Liu Ji, that is, an intelligence network covering the entire Great Jin Dynasty, and even the Lu and Zhou States, that is, the intelligence agency known as the Red Fox in the Southeast Xiang Army.

Thanks to the support of Zhang Mingqi, the former commander of the Southeast Xiang Army, the strength of the Red Fox is not weak, and even among Liu Ji's concubines, there are people from the Red Fox, of course, in the future, those Liu Ji's concubines will break away from the Red Fox, and they no longer need to worry about it every day.

At the beginning, in order to raise military funds and support millions of troops in the southeast chamber army, Zhang Mingqi directly uprooted some families and wealthy families in the seven southeastern states, and looted a lot of wealth from them.

Only this time Tang Yan brought to Qinhuai City the Red Fox Beauty Secret Agent, there are more than 300 people, many of which have not yet completed their training, Tang Yan dedicated all of these more than 300 Red Fox Beauty Agents to Liu Ji.

In the face of beauties, of course Liu Ji will not be polite, and directly pocketed 214 of the more than 300 beauties, the charm value of these 214 beauties is above 80 points, and the other more than 100 beauties whose charm value does not reach 80 points, Liu Ji handed it over to Tang Yan again, and asked Tang Yan to continue to train these more than 100 beautiful spies, and the intelligence agency of Red Fox, Liu Ji did not let it be directly merged into Heishuitai, and still let Tang Yan be responsible for the time being.

In a study in the governor's mansion in Qinhuai City, Liu Ji said to Tang Yan: "I didn't expect that Zhang Mingqi, the metropolitan governor, would choose to surrender to the Lu people in the end, which has a very bad impact on our entire Great Jin, the strength of the red fox in Suzhou is not bad, this metropolitan governor hopes that the red fox can cooperate with Heishuitai, don't let Zhang Mingqi leave the territory of Suzhou!" ”

Liu Ji's meaning is very straightforward, that is, he is ready to let the red fox cooperate with Heishuitai and get rid of Zhang Mingqi, after all, Zhang Mingqi used to be the commander of the Southeast Xiang Army, and he has a huge influence in the entire Southeast Xiang Army, but now the Southeast Xiang Army has 1.4 million troops who have taken refuge in the name of the Broken Army.

Tang Yan said without the slightest hesitation: "Don't worry, the red fox will definitely cooperate with Heishuitai and not let Zhang Mingqi, a traitor, leave Suzhou!" ”

Zhang Mingqi's original kick completely chilled Tang Yan's heart, so Tang Yan used all the power of the red fox to take away the 600,000 southeast wing troops in Jianyang City at once.

Liu Ji patted Tang Yan on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Mr. Tang is right, Zhang Mingqi is now a traitor, and everyone should be punished for rape." ”

After Liu Ji arrived in Qinhuai City, he himself stayed in Qinhuai City for the time being, but many of the troops who came to Suzhou with Liu Ji still continued to march south, preparing to enter the southern areas of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and start a war with the Lu army in Qiongzhou and Suzhou at any time.

The Broken Army and the Lu State Army then gathered large armies along the border between Suzhou and Hangzhou and Qiong and Suzhou, but neither side launched an attack first, forming a confrontation situation.

Liu Ji didn't stay in Qinhuai City, and the two hundred and fourteen red fox beauty spies with a charm value of more than eighty points were all taken down by Liu Ji in twenty days, of which twenty-four beauties with a charm value of ninety points contributed forty-eight groups of elite soldiers produced by the system to Liu Ji, and the remaining one hundred and ninety beauties also contributed one hundred and ninety groups of elite soldiers produced by the system to Liu Ji.

These 238 groups of elite soldiers produced by the system, including 50 groups of Eastern Jin Dynasty Beifu soldiers, 50 groups of Wei State warriors and 138 groups of Qin State warriors, made Liu Ji's reserve of Eastern Jin Dynasty Beifu soldiers in the system become 280,000 people, Wei State soldiers became 315,000 people, and Qin State soldiers became 112,000 people.

Just when Liu Ji was enjoying the many beautiful spies of Red Fox, Zhang Mingqi, the founder of Red Fox, encountered an unprecedented crisis.

Because Jiang Sheng, the emperor of Lu State, wanted to see Zhang Mingqi, so the Third Army of Lu State in Suzhou transferred two full battalions to escort Zhang Mingqi and Zhang Mingqi's family to Mengyuan City, the capital of Lu State, Zhang Mingqi's family includes more than 50 wives and concubines, as well as five sons and nine daughters, Zhang Mingqi's eldest child, is just eleven years old this year.

According to the military system of the Lu State, each fully equipped battalion has about 3,000 people, and two full battalions are 6,000 people.

After Zhang Mingqi handed over more than 600,000 troops in the southeast, he only left about 500 guards, temporarily commanded by his cousin Liu Fengbao, and these 500 guards also rushed to Mengyuan City in Lu with Zhang Mingqi.

Just when the team escorting Zhang Mingqi's family was about to leave the territory of Suzhou and enter Lianzhou, they were attacked by many black-clothed masked people in a dense forest.

There are less than a thousand of these black-clothed masked people, but all of them are martial arts masters, and even many of them have the strength of peerless generals or top generals, 6,000 elites of the Lu army and 500 Zhang Mingqi's guards, and they are losing ground under the attack of these black-clothed masked people.

In just about a stick of incense, the six thousand elites of the Lu army, and five hundred Zhang Mingqi's guards have already suffered casualties, and even Liu Fengbao, who has the strength of a peerless general, was easily killed by three black-clothed masked people, and these three masked men are all puppet bodyguards with peerless military strength.

Most of these masked black-clothed people are the elite of Heishuitai, in order to put Zhang Mingqi to death, Liu Ji even transferred eighty puppet bodyguards around him, of which thirty puppet bodyguards have the strength of peerless generals, and the remaining fifty puppet bodyguards also have the strength of peerless generals.

After Zhang Mingqi was covered in blood and surrounded by several masked black-clothed people, Zhang Mingqi smiled bitterly and said, "Are you the people of the Broken Army?" ”

It's a pity that these masked people are all puppet bodyguards, and no one answered Zhang Mingqi's question at all, so they rushed up directly and hacked Zhang Mingqi to death.

After the sound of fighting in the dense forest disappeared, two people who were masked but not dressed in black walked up to Zhang Mingqi's corpse, and one of them sighed and said: "No matter what, he and I are both master and servant, I wonder if I can leave him a whole corpse?" ”

Another person nodded and said, "The lord only let us take Zhang Mingqi's life, and didn't let us take Zhang Mingqi's head back." ”

"Thank you, Lord Jia, then let someone bury his body!"

"Mr. Tang, what do you say about Zhang Mingqi's family members?"

It turned out that these two people were Jia Xu and Tang Yan, this time they intercepted Zhang Mingqi halfway, Jia Xu and Tang Yan attached great importance to it, and they both came to Suzhou in person, and they had to pay attention to it, after all, Liu Ji gave an order not to let Zhang Mingqi leave Suzhou alive.

Tang Yan pondered for a while and said: "Among Zhang Mingqi's more than 50 wives and concubines, many of them have the color of captivating the city and the country, and many of them have been robbed by Zhang Mingqi in recent years. ”

Jia Xu nodded slightly and said, "Then do what Mr. Tang wants!" If Zhang Mingqi's children are brought back, maybe the lord will make the mistake of being a woman again, and as for Zhang Mingqi's wives and concubines who have the color of captivating the city and the country, the lord should be very satisfied. ”

Soon there was a scream in the dense forest, Zhang Mingqi's more than a dozen wives and concubines and more than a dozen children were killed by the people of Heishuitai in an instant, and then Jia Xu and Tang Yan took people and left this dense forest full of corpses, and forty wives and concubines who did not give birth to children for Zhang Mingqi were taken away by Jia Xu and Tang Yan.
