On November 27, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, after a month and a half of marching, Liu Ji finally entered the territory of the capital with 200,000 broken captives and 60,000 auxiliary soldiers.

In that year, Liu Hui, the founding emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, built Canglong City at the intersection of Yongzhou, Liuzhou, Hengzhou and Suzhou, and then used the lofty mountains and mountains around Canglong City to build eight passes, namely Hangu Pass, Baiyun Pass, Guangcheng Pass, Dagu Pass, Jinmen Pass, Revolving Gate Pass, Mengjin Pass and Zhenyuan Pass, known as Canglong Eight Passes.

If you want to enter Canglong City, you must pass through one of the passes of the Canglong Eight Passes, and the broken army led by Liu Ji entered the suburbs of Beijing from Hangu Pass, which is close to Yongzhou.

The forbidden army guarding Hangu Pass, knowing that it was the army led by the general Liu Ji, did not make any trouble, and quickly opened the gate of Hangu Pass, allowing 200,000 broken troops and 60,000 auxiliaries escorting grain and grass to pass through Hangu Pass smoothly.

Later, another general of the Hangu Pass Forbidden Army led the Broken Army to a wasteland in the north outside Canglong City, and at this time, six large-scale military camps had been built in this wasteland from a distance.

"General Liu, because there are dozens of counterinsurgency troops who came to the capital in accordance with the imperial court's edict this time, so according to the order of the Ministry of War, all the counterinsurgency troops can only be temporarily stationed outside Canglong City, after all, Canglong City cannot accommodate so many soldiers and horses, and I ask General Liu for your understanding." The forbidden general, named Chen Yuan, said respectfully to Liu Ji.

Liu Ji nodded and said: "General Ben brought troops to the capital this time, in order to go south to exterminate the traitor Zhang Mingqi, the army does not need to enter Canglong City, but I don't know how many rebels have been gathered in the capital now?" ”

Chen Yuan immediately said: "Counting General Liu's journey, there are now thirty routes of counterinsurgency troops arriving in the capital, and I heard that there are two state ministers and three Taishou troops, who will also arrive in the capital in the near future." ”

Liu Ji said with a little surprise: "So this time there are thirty-five soldiers and horses, in response to the imperial court's edict, willing to go south to quell the rebellion?" ”

"The last general heard that the general Dou Bing, the general of the chariot cavalry, will also lead the 50,000 forbidden troops of Yulin's right guard this time to the south to participate in the counterinsurgency, so this time the imperial court can be said to have brought together 36 routes to counter the rebels, of which there are millions of soldiers alone."

The 800,000 forbidden troops of the Great Jin Dynasty in the capital are divided into 16 guards, including Jinwu Guard, Jinwu Guard, Jinwu Left Guard, Jinwu Right Guard, Yulin Guard, Yulin Guard, Yulin Left Guard, Yulin Right Guard, Government Army Guard, Government Army Guard, Government Army Left Guard, Government Army Right Guard, Tiger Guard, Tiger

Now the forbidden army's government army avant-garde, government army rear guard, government army left guard, government army right guard, tiger army avant-garde, tiger guard guard, tiger guard left guard and tiger army right guard, have successively followed the hussar general Li Hong and hussar general He Guangzong to the southeast, but now the forbidden army of these eight guards, in many battles with Zhang Mingqi's army, the losses are very large, hussar general Li Hong and hussar general He Guangzong after consulting the imperial court, has begun to use some elite soldiers of the box army and local armies in the southeast states to supplement the eight guards of the forbidden army with heavy losses.

Liu Ji has heard of the name Dou Bing, nine years ago, Dou Bingke was on the list of peerless generals in the world's hero spectrum, which is equivalent to a peerless general with a force value of more than 100 points.

Liu Ji nodded and said: "General Dou Bing's name, this general is like thunder, that is a figure on the peerless list of fierce generals, this time General Dou Bing went to the southeastern states to quell the rebellion, presumably that traitor Zhang Mingqi will not be able to last long." ”

Chen Yuan said with a smile: "This time, General Liu and General Dou personally led the troops south, and it was only a matter of time before Zhang Mingqi, a traitor, was exterminated. ”

Liu Ji learned through the scanning function of the system that although the force value of this partial general Chen Yuan is not high, only 61 points, he has just stepped into the ranks of third-rate generals, but his intelligence value has reached 84 points, and the commander value is also 79 points, which is definitely a very good talent, and a talent like Chen Yuan only commands a battalion of troops in the forbidden army.

"I don't know if General Chen knows which soldiers and horses the other counterinsurgency troops on the 34th Road belong to?" Liu Ji asked Chen Yuan.

Then Chen Yuan introduced Liu Ji to the other thirty-four routes of soldiers and horses, all of which were sent or led by whom.

There were 17 state pastors in the counterinsurgency army of the 34th Road, including Liu Chong, Liu Chong, Liu Yuan, Qinzhou, Qibo, Feng Zihuan, Feng, Meizhou, Nie Long, Sun Youhao, Dazhou, Bimo, Bimo, Liangji, Yuzhou, Lushe, Liuji, Fan Yongchang, Liu Du, Liu Du, He Bin, Jiapeng, Guizhou, Li Hao, Li Hao, and Lincheng.

Of these seventeen state pastors, only Liu Chong, the governor of Qianzhou, Liu Yuan, the governor of Pizhou, and Liu Du, the governor of Qinzhou, personally led the army to the capital and joined up with other counterinsurgency forces, and the other fourteen state pastors only sent their generals to the capital to lead the troops.

And Liu Chong, the governor of Qianzhou, Liu Yuan, the governor of Pizhou, and Liu Du, the pastor of Qinzhou, were able to personally lead the troops to prepare to go to the southeastern states to quell the rebellion this time, which is likely to be related to the fact that they are all children of the clan of the Great Jin, after all, they are all surnamed Liu, if the traitor Zhang Mingqi overthrows the court of the Great Jin, these children of the clan, will definitely have no good end.

Among the seventeen state pastors' troops, only Hengzhou Governor Li Hao and Leizhou Prefecture Mu Lin Cheng have not yet arrived outside Canglong City.

In addition to the seventeen state pastors, there were also seventeen Taishou, who also sent troops to the capital this time, including Cao Lin, the Taishou of Linze County, Qianzhou, Bao Wei, the Taishou of Longbei County, Qianzhou, Li Kexuan, the Taishou of Yanchang County, Pizhou, Xiao Jiande, the Taishou of Ji'an County, Pizhou, Wang Shida, the Taishou of Shansui County, Qinzhou, Li Bo, the Taishou of Wuli County, Qinzhou, Shen Zitong, the Taishou of Xiongyi County, Xiangzhou, the Taishou Gao Rail of Hedong County, the Taishou Zhang Ju of Xuan'an County, Meizhou, the Taishou Zhao Ce of Geshan County, Wanzhou, Xie Hongde, the Taishou of Fushou County, Dazhou, Jiang Jian, the Taishou of Qinghua County, Fuzhou, Luo Youpeng, the Taishou of Ganmeng County, Yuzhou, Xue Can, the Taishou of Donglai County, Yongzhou, the Taishou Kong Dai of Heyang County, Liuzhou, Zhang Kuang, the Taishou of Changchun County, Yizhou, and Yuan Xin, the Taishou of Dangyang County, Qinzhou.

Of these seventeen guards, only Yuan Xin, the commander of Dangyang County, Qinzhou, did not come to the capital, and the remaining sixteen guards all led the troops in person this time, but the teams of Wang Shida, the Taishou of Shansui County, Qinzhou, Li Bo, the Taishou of Wuli County, Qinzhou, and Zhang Kuang, the Taishou of Changchun County, Yizhou, are still on the way.

Liu Ji heard the name of Zhao Ce, the Taishou of Geshan County, Anhui Prefecture, and the cold light in his eyes suddenly flashed, when Liu Ji passed through Geshan County with the team of the border guards, because of Zhou Lanqi and Zhou Lanxin, the two sisters, but they formed a lot of hatred with Zhao Ce, Zhao Ce had a person named Qin Gang under his command, and Liu Ji hated him even more.

Liu Ji looked at the six military camps that had been built in the wasteland in front of him, and asked the partial general Chen Yuan: "Then the six camps that have been built here, which state pastor or Taishou's soldiers and horses are they?" ”

"Back to General Liu, the six-way soldiers and horses stationed here are Qinzhou Prefecture Mu Qi Bo, Xiangzhou Prefecture Mu Feng Zihuan, Meizhou Xuan'an County Taishou Zhang Ju, Anhui Prefecture Geshan County Taishou Zhao Ce, Dazhou Fushou County Taishou Xie Hongde and Fuzhou Qinghua County Taishou Jiang Jian's soldiers and horses."

When Liu Ji heard that Zhao Ce's army, the Taishou of Geshan County, Anhui Prefecture, was also stationed in this wasteland, he immediately showed a trace of an intriguing smile, but soon this smile was hidden by Liu Ji.

Then Liu Ji asked Chen Yuan again: "I don't know when the imperial court will be able to replenish the grain and grass for the armies of our Western Regions Protectorate and Beiting Protectorate this time?" Along the way, the grain and grass of the 260,000 army under the command of General Ben have been almost consumed! ”

"General Liu rest assured, the imperial court has mobilized a large amount of grain and grass for this rebellion, and soon after, our forbidden army will send grain and grass to General Liu's camp, which should be enough for General Liu's 260,000 troops for two months."

"It's still thoughtful from the imperial court, so that General Ben can rest assured."

"Please General Liu order the army to set up camp, and the imperial court should then summon General Liu to the court to discuss the matter of going south to quell the rebellion."

Just when the Broken Army began to set up camp, in another camp in this wasteland, Zhao Ce, the Taishou of Geshan County, Anhui Prefecture, said to dozens of civil and military officials under his command with a depressed face: "I didn't expect such a large space to be vacated here, it turned out to be a big camp for Liu Ji's army!" What Ben Taishou didn't expect was that in less than two years, the little military captain at the beginning, now has a bigger official position than Ben Taishou, not only the official general officially appointed by the imperial court, but also the protector of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate and the Northern Courtyard Metropolitan Protectorate, by the way, he is still hanging on the post of the Taishou of Ju'an County, alas-Ben Taishou is worried that Liu Ji will find trouble with our Geshan Army! ”

After speaking, Zhao Ce inadvertently glanced at the general Qin Gang, it was because Qin Gang identified the real murderer who assassinated his father that Zhao Ce and Liu Ji formed a lot of grudges, he knew that Liu Ji would jump so fiercely, Zhao Ce would rather not know who the real murderer of his father was!

Qin Gang saw Zhao Ce's casual glance, and immediately said loudly: "Lord don't worry, our Geshan army is in accordance with the imperial court's edict this time, and went to the southeastern states to quell the rebellion, even if Liu Ji has some contradictions with our Geshan army, he will not dare to deal with our Geshan army blatantly." ”

Qin Gang is not worried, Zhao Ce will hand him over in order to alleviate the contradiction with Liu Ji, the current Wu Gang is no longer the same as Wu Gang two years ago, in the past two years, with hard training, Wu Gang's martial arts can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, even if Zhao Ce served as the Taishou, recruited many fierce generals from the people, Wu Gang's martial arts can also rank second among the many generals under Zhao Ce.

At this time, General Mu Zhen frowned and said: "Lord, we must be on guard, after arriving in the southeastern states, General Liu Ji will make some small moves against our Geshan army, and even let our Geshan army act as cannon fodder." ”

Mu Zhen was originally the general of Zhao Ce's father Zhao Mincheng, and after Zhao Mincheng was assassinated, Mu Zhen naturally took refuge under Zhao Ce.

Qin Gang immediately said: "Now our Geshan army under the wise leadership of the lord, can be regarded as a strong soldier, this time with the lord to the capital, there are 30,000 people, including 24,000 soldiers, if Liu Ji dares to make any small moves, it is a big deal that our Geshan army does not wade into this muddy water, and directly returns home." ”

Zhao Ce, the Taishou of Geshan County, nodded and said: "Ben Taishou is not afraid of Liu Ji, otherwise he would not bring troops to the capital this time, but everyone should be careful recently, let alone have any conflicts with Liu Ji's army, if after arriving in the southeastern states, Liu Ji dares to let our Geshan army be cannon fodder, then Ben Taishou will not swallow his anger, just like General Wu said, it is a big deal to scatter, Ben Taishou will take you back to Geshan County." ”

"Lord, I heard that Liu Ji's fierce generals are like clouds, if that Liu Ji dares to target our Geshan Army, I, Zhu Yan, just want to learn the catties and taels of the fierce generals under Liu Ji." The person who said this was Zhu Yan, the number one henchman under Zhao Ce, a fierce general who could take the rank of general among the ten thousand armies, and was recruited by Zhao Ce a year ago.

Zhao Ce showed a smile and said: "Ben Taishou has fierce generals like Zhu Yan and Qin Gang, why not be afraid of Liu Ji's child!" ”

And just when Liu Ji's broken army arrived outside Canglong City, in a study room in the yamen of the Great Jin Military Department, Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, said in a deep voice to Yang Zhong, the captain of the Ministry of Officials, and Zheng Kai, the captain of the household department: "This time, the imperial court organized the 36th Route Suppression Rebel Army to fight against the rebel Zhang Mingqi, and there must be no accidents, otherwise it is not only the emperor and the queen mother who are unlucky in the end, but our thirteenth family will also suffer." ”

Zheng Kai, the chief lieutenant of the household department, said: "This Taiwei has already ordered to go down, this time the supply of grain and grass for the counterinsurgency army and the imperial army in the southeastern states must not be shoddy, or greedy for ink, this counterinsurgency, in the supply of grain and grass, please rest assured, who dares to fight the idea of grain and grass at this time, it is light to raid the house and destroy the door, and the serious one should be punished by the nine clans!" ”

Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, followed and said: "Our Ministry of Officials will definitely try their best to cooperate this time, and have issued orders to officials at all levels in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and Fuzhou, asking them to fully cooperate with the imperial army to encircle and suppress the traitor Zhang Mingqi, and try to raise grain and grass locally to supply the various armies of the imperial court." ”

Captain Dou Yan nodded and said: "At least twenty-six of the 36 routes of the rebel army gathered by the imperial court this time are controlled or indirectly controlled by our thirteenth family, so this captain wants to ask for the opinions of each family, and this captain is ready to let the general of the cavalry Dou Bing serve as the commander of the 36 route counterinsurgency this time, I don't know if they agree?" ”

Yang Zhong, the captain of the Ministry of Officials, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Let Dou Bing be the commander of the 36th Route Suppression Rebel Army, presumably everyone will not object, but the key is the general Liu Ji, this time Liu Ji brought 260,000 troops, including 200,000 soldiers, and also includes 80,000 cavalry, with such strength, can Liu Ji be willing to give up the position of commander?" ”

Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, said in a deep voice: "Liu Ji, the old man will find a way to do it." ”
