Chapter 2, verse 16, see also Qiu Chuji, 140

On the second day, the army set off for the south. The Mongolian Tatar Department also said goodbye to Ren Tianqi after accepting the reward from the gold lord and returned to the grassland.

By the afternoon of the fifth day, the army came to the north of Jinan City, facing the old prince across the city.

Jinan City Wanyan Fubi is also a capable general, plus Jinan City has many high-ranking generals, and the old prince said that although he also brought sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses, it was difficult to capture it for a while, in addition to transferring troops everywhere to besiege the city, there was no way for a while.

The army rested for the night, and the next day it was ready to attack the city. Ren Tianqi didn't want to really attack the city, he just wanted to go south quickly to pacify Jiaodong and return to Tongyang. So he left 20,000 old, weak, wounded and disabled people here to pretend to attack the city, and his own army once again attacked the mouth of Qianfo Mountain, killing thousands of enemies again, and the army was able to pass smoothly.

After meeting the old prince, Yu Ming went north to King Qin and went south to quell the chaos and plan for the future. The army did not stop and went south overnight, along the way, it was all Xu Tengyan's state soldiers and Jiaodong departments, which lasted a month and a half, killed 30,000 enemies, and finally put down the Jiaodong rebellion. Qiu Chuji failed to escape, and seeing that the general trend had gone, he led his subordinates to surrender to Dajin. Ren Tianqi got the news and hurriedly sent the order to invite Qiu to take the opportunity.

Qiu was brought into the big tent with handcuffs and shackles.

The generals were almost unrecognizable, his eyes were red, his clothes were ragged, he was scarred, and the beard on his face was several unshaved, and he walked with a limp, looking much older.

Ren Tianqi looked a little unbearable and sighed.

The black eagle smiled when he saw it, stepped forward and hugged Qiu Chuji, slapped it a few times, and said with a smile: "You birdman haven't seen this ghost for more than a year, I can't imagine that your bird's beak can kill countless people, do evil!"

Qiu Chuji smiled slightly and said, "Hei Ye is still so hot-tempered, hasn't changed at all! Everyone, are you all here?" Qiu Chuji greeted everyone with a smile.

The Jin generals were furious when they heard this, and someone came up and slammed Qiu Chuji's big mouth, which made Qiu Chuji's eyes glow with gold stars and the corners of his mouth bleed.

Gong Ming hurriedly stepped forward and pushed the man away, and scolded: "I think that in the past, Qiu Ye was as famous as the general in the rivers and lakes, when will it be your turn to wait for this group of uncivilized rats to make fun of you!"

The Kim general was still unconvinced, and was about to come forward to theorize.

Ren Tianqi slapped the table and said: "Presumptuous! What kind of body is the noisy in the big tent! How is Qiu Daxia's comings and goings, it is said that he will be escorted into Beijing to be determined, and the saint will have his own arrangements, so why do I need to be arrogant here!"

Wan Yan Hao on the side waved his hand at the golden general, and said fiercely: "If you go back to the horse master, the brothers killed and injured more than a dozen good people when they captured him Qiu, and the brothers are not used to his Qiu someone's cynicism, and the horse master should not have other ideas." ”

Ren Tianqi laughed and said: "Regarding the battle between the two armies, the generals of the Dajin Kingdom may still be able to have a fight with him Qiu, as for this technique of fighting alone, I am afraid that there are few people in the entire Dajin Kingdom who are his opponents of Qiu;

Qiu Chuji also laughed and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Ren for your kindness, Qiu can't thank you enough, thank you." ”

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just a message to you on behalf of the saint, and it's just a little bit of the friendship of the landlord! However, since Brother Qiu has stopped the war and returned to the imperial court, why should he insist on not increasing the grievances with the generals." ”

Qiu Chuji sneered: "Shengshang, is it that little child in Lin'an City? I look at how you sit in the big tent of the Dajin Jurchens, and you are very angry! I Qiu Chuji was born to kneel to the sky, kneel to parents, and kneel to the teacher. No matter where he is the Holy Emperor, it is not worth bowing his head below, and he is only for the toiling people of the world to avoid being killed and to obey morality, but he is not to submit to the Great Jin and Song Dynasty. ”

The generals of the Dajin Kingdom were furious when they heard this, and they each drew their swords and were about to step forward to beat Qiu. Wan Yan Haoming hurriedly raised his hand to stop his subordinates.

Ren Tianqi smiled slightly and said, "Brother Qiu, do people have their own ambitions? You can recognize that Shi Wu put down the sword and gun, but he has a matter on the saint's heart, which is really a blessing for the common people, and it can be regarded as the completion of the next task. As far as I know, the Holy One doesn't mean to blame you. Before going south, the saint once said to his face that there must be a reason for Qiu Chuji to gather people to rebel, maybe it is really that I have not done something in place in some aspects, and I am ashamed of the people of Jiaodong, otherwise in just two years, how can a young man climb the heights and shout, tens of thousands of people will respond. Either I made a mistake, or the magistrate did a mistake. After you go to Jiaodong to quell the civil unrest, you must not take Qiu lightly, and you should immediately send someone to escort you to the capital. No, for the sake of our past fame, we will prepare a little wine to see you off. Please accompany the generals!"

Wan Yan Haoming got up and said: "Qiu Daxia is the old man of the general, and there must be old feelings to recount." The veteran will not bother. It's just that the general is asked not to miss the matter of escorting Qiu to the capital. ”

Ren Tianqi hurriedly got up and thanked him.

All the generals also got up and retired.

In the big tent, there are all the generals of Xuzhou soldiers.

Ren Tianqi hurriedly asked Qiu Chuji to sit down, and ordered everyone to take care of the big tent.

Qiu Chuji first called for water to wash it, and then found a good shirt to change into, and then showed his radiant side again.

Qiu Chuji saw the Dongfang Baimian next to him, and said, "Brother Ren, who is this?"

Ren Tianqi glanced at his beloved wife and said with a smile: "The third child of our family!"

Dongfang Bai's face turned red, showing the shyness of his daughter's family.

Qiu Chuji was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Dongfang Bai's charm, and he already understood. Qiu Chuji arched his hand and smiled: "Congratulations!"

Qiu Chuji said: "Hey, if it weren't for Brother Ren's northward march to send tens of thousands of officers and troops to defend the hard blockade along the Jiaodong line, I'm afraid that the army below would have stretched out long ago, and it would be impossible to take it away!"

Ren Tianqi said: "Why did Brother Qiu raise troops this time, the saint is much wiser than the one in Lin'an! Also, if you incite the people to rise up, whoever will plant the crops in this field will have to eat! If you are familiar with the history books, don't you know that there will be a fierce year after the army, not only will tens of thousands of people be killed and injured in this incident, but I don't know how many people will starve to death in the next year! I don't know how many people will starve to death in the next year! I don't know how many people will starve to death in the next year! I don't think you will win the hearts of the people if you do this!"

Qiu Chuji sneered: "I'm unpopular, how can I respond to every call, and the whole Jiaodong will be sparkling, blooming everywhere?"

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "I won't fight with you today, if it weren't for the mutiny in the capital this time, how could Dajin Kingdom give up!

Qiu Chuji sneered: "I took advantage of the chaos in the capital to start the incident! If you hadn't had to lead the army north, how would I be today?"

Ren Tianqi said: "I won't tell you anything, I received a report at the beginning of the year that you Qiu was about to start an accident, but people were waiting for the opportunity and didn't do it first." Don't you still think that everything is arranged so seamlessly that no one knows?"

Qiu Chuji looked at Ren Tianqi with wide eyes, and after a while, he sighed and lowered his head.

Ren Tianqi said: "I have long ordered that you should not be embarrassed, but you still beat the sergeants, do you know why?"

Qiu Chuji raised his head and said, "Why?"

Ren Tianqi said: "Just because there is a truce in the whole world now, the soldiers only want to eat and get paid, and they don't want to die." This is true for you here, and the same is true for the imperial capital of the capital, and the high-ranking officials of the rebel army, Houlu, have not been able to recruit a few comrades, so if the 50,000 garrisons of the Erguan of Jinan in Cangzhou and Jinan follow the rebellion, how can they accomplish great things! What benefits can you give to civilians in cloth clothes? You see, the current army is no longer popular with the people!

Qiu Chuji sighed deeply and said, "You won." Why, you've taken refuge in Daikin too?"

Ren Tianqi shook his head and sighed: "No way, I'm just gambling for the survival of my Xuzhou soldiers." I led my troops to the north to rescue the driver, and now there are less than 8,000 of the 18,000 people left, in exchange for two cities in the north of the Huai River, 10,000 military horses, 100,000 loads of food, and a few years of security. ”

Qiu Chuji raised his head and said: "In this case, aren't all your Xuzhou soldiers finished? How can the imperial court let you go!"

Ren Tianqi raised his head and said: "If I don't send troops this time, there will be no Dajin 300,000 troops behind as a shield, will there be any soldiers from Xuzhou?

Qiu Chuji nodded and said with a smile: "This is true. Your grain and grass are still in the hands of others! Then what should you do now? The soldiers are gone, and the court will not let you go!"

Ren Tianqi smiled bitterly: "I really didn't think about it so much, isn't this just about to lead the army to Jinan Pass to help the old prince quell the chaos." It's all evil!" Ren Tianqi glanced up at Qiu Chuji.

Qiu Chuji nodded, sighed, and bowed his head silently.

Ren Tianqi glanced back at Dongfang Bai and smiled slightly.

Qiu Chuji raised his head and said: "I, Qiu Chuji, can not die today, and Brother Ren has also made a lot of efforts and said a lot of good things, but I have a plan now, which can ensure that your Xuzhou soldiers can sit back and relax from now on." ”

Qiu Chuji looked at Ren Tianqi with a smile, his puffy face was sunny, and he regained his former look.

Ren Tianqi, Dongfang Bai was overjoyed when he heard it.

Qiu Chuji said with a smile: "How many military horses does Master Ren have at hand?"

Ren Tianqi said: "One hundred thousand, all of them are the most elite departments of the Dajin Kingdom. ”

Qiu Chuji said: "How many soldiers and horses are there in Yangtong Erzhou?"

Ren Tianqi said: "20,000 in Yangzhou and 10,000 in Tongzhou." ”

Qiu Chuji said with a smile: "Ren Ye doesn't have to lead the army to the north anymore, he can lead the troops south to take Tongyang in one fell swoop." ”

Ren Tianqi stood up in shock and said: "You mean that you want me to lead my troops south to take Tongyang Erzhou, this is not good! Isn't this a big rebellion? Besides, if this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid that both sides will not please it!"

Qiu Chuji smiled and said, "Besides, you Xuzhou soldiers have no possibility of survival!"

Ren Tianqi hung his head and was silent, raised his head for a long time and said: "Supporting the army and respecting itself, self-exclusion on both sides, I'm afraid it won't be long in coming!"

Qiu Chuji got up and laughed, and said: "Brother Ren, don't you see it? The Great Song Dynasty, the monarch is faint and the ministers are wasted, and there is absolutely no reason to sit on the throne; Dajin, the imperial pulse is unstable, the army is scattered, and a mutiny actually asks your Xuzhou soldiers to come forward, and it has already shown that the building is about to collapse. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people have won the world, and those who have gained power have won the world. Do you think that I, Qiu Chuji, are thinking about changing the dynasty or being loyal to Lin'an? Wrong, I don't have the ability or the kind of pedantry! I'm just stirring up the general trend of this divided world, hoping that there will really be a hegemonic lord. As long as I don't die, I will do my best to help heroes dominate the world!"

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "Brother Qiu is so ambitious, it's better to sigh to himself!"

Qiu Chuji turned around, glared at Ren Tianqi, and said, "But I think that commanding troops to fight is definitely not Brother Ren's opponent!"

Ren Tianqi smiled: "Brother Qiu's meaning is that you and I have joined forces?"

Qiu Chuji smiled.

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "I don't have the ambition of Brother Qiu, I just want to keep the future of my Xuzhou soldiers." Besides, Brother Qiu's life and death are uncertain when he goes north this time!"

Qiu Chuji said with a smile: "With my three-inch tongue, it is a trivial matter to protect my own surname!"

Ren Tianqi, Dongfang Bai was stunned when he heard it.

Qiu Chuji laughed.
