On the way to Huaian City, Liu Ji received news that the court and the Red Turban Army had started a recruitment negotiation, and more than one million Red Turban Army troops outside Huaian City had evacuated Huaian City.

However, General Li Hong of the Cavalry and General Dou Bing of the Cavalry sent a message to Liu Ji, hoping that Liu Ji would continue to rush to Huai'an City to avoid the breakdown of the recruitment negotiations, and the Red Turban Army would encircle Huai'an City again.

Liu Ji had an indifferent attitude towards whether the Red Turban Army accepts the court's invitation or not, but Liu Ji was still happy to end the rebellion in the Southeast as soon as possible, so that he could lead the troops back to his territory earlier.

As for General Li Hong of the Cavalry and General Dou Bingrang of the Polu Army to continue to rush to Huaian 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 Local Legion, the First Cavalry Brigade of the Guard Legion, and the twenty temporary infantry brigades of the Guard Legion, and 60,000 auxiliary soldiers escorting food and grass to Huaian City, but the speed of the march slowed down a lot.

The Red Turban Army and the Dajin court had a great disagreement between the conditions for recruitment. Until January 27, 428, when Liu Ji led a million soldiers of the Dehuo Army to Huai'an City, Li Qin, a fairy in Kaiyang of Guanghan Palace, representing the Red Turban Army, still did not reach an agreement with the Dajin court's negotiator Dou Yan and the Dajin court's Grand Marshal Dou Yan and the Grand Marshal Yang Zhong.

After Liu Ji led the Polu Army to Huai'an City, he directly established several camps on the west side of Huai'an City, and did not lead his army into Huai'an City.

Before the Red Turban Army evacuated Huaian City, the regular troops, auxiliary soldiers and temporary recruitment of young and strong men in Huaian City had reached more than 600,000. You should know that the people who lived in Huaian City were only over one million, and so many troops moved into Huaian City, which suddenly became crowded.

After confirming that the Red Turban Army's more than one million troops had all retreated into Qiuxi County south of Huaian City. More than 400,000 people from the 21st imperial court suppression rebels in Huaian City immediately left the city and set up camp in the north outside Huaian City. This time, Liu Ji brought more than 1.2 million troops to Huaian City. He could not station in Huaian City at all, and he could only station outside the city.

On the evening of January 27, Liu Ji brought Zhang Liang, Jia Xu and dozens of puppet bodyguards into Huai'an City and came to the city's palace. Tonight, General Li Hong, General Cavalry, Dou Bing, General of Carriage, and Li Kang, the governor of Hangzhou, held a banquet at the provincial government to welcome Liu Ji. The other twenty lines of counter-rebels had nineteen commanders and commanders who would accompany him at the dinner. Only Zhao Ce, the prefect of Geshan County, Wanzhou, did not attend the dinner on the pretext.

Zhao Ce really didn't want to see Liu Ji. After all, there were big conflicts between the two sides, and the strengths of the two sides were very different. Zhao Ce was very worried that Liu Ji would take advantage of some reason to deal with him.

Li Kang, the governor of Hangzhou, is also a child of the Li family among the thirteenth family. He is also the cousin of General Li Hong, the cavalry general.

General Li Hong, General Dou Bing of the Cavalry, and Li Kang, the governor of Hangzhou, gave Liu Ji a very good face. The three of them personally welcomed Liu Ji into the mansion at the gate of the provincial governor's mansion.

In a hall room in the Muslim Mansion of Chengzhou, Huai'an, General Li Hong raised his glass with a smile and said to Liu Ji: "General Liu, thank you for bringing troops to rescue Huai'an City. I respect General Liu for a cup."

Liu Ji held up a glass of wine and said with a smile: "General Li is so polite. I didn't help much this time. Before I could arrive in Huai'an City with the Polu Army, the bandits of the Red Turban Army retreated."

Li Kang, the governor of Hangzhou, said with a smile: "The bandits of the Red Turban Army outside Huai'an City are also afraid of General Liu's reputation. If General Liu did not bring a million troops to Huai'an City, the bandits of the more than one million Red Turban Army outside the city would not retreat so simply."

When Li Kang, the governor of Hangzhou, mentioned that Liu Ji brought a million troops, the people at the banquet looked at Liu Ji, and there was something strange about it.

The troops everyone led were fighting fewer and fewer, while Liu Ji's defeated army fought more and more. You should know that Liu Ji only brought 260,000 people to the southeast at first, including 60,000 auxiliary soldiers, but now it has expanded to millions at once, which is speechless.

General Dou Bing, the general of the chariot and cavalry, couldn't help but say, "General Li, your Polu Army has incorporated so many prisoners from the Red Turban Army. Are you worried that there will be a mutiny?"

Liu Jiyi grinned and said, "General Dou, many of these young and strong people who participated in the Red Turban Army were just to make a living. After joining the Polu Army, they not only could have enough food, but also received generous military pay every month. What reason do they have to betray the Polu Army!"

When General Dou Bing heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It is only when General Liu is rich and powerful that he can capture all the captives of these Red Turban Army. No wonder the more than one million Red Turban Army outside Huai'an City retreated directly when he heard that General Liu was going to lead troops to rescue Huai'an City."

Liu Ji then asked General Li Hong of the Cavalry and General Dou Bing of the Cavalry: "How is the negotiation between General Li, General Dou, the court and the Red Turban Army on reunion?"

General Li Hong of the Cavalry said: "According to the news from Canglong City, although there are still differences between the court and the Red Turban Army, the differences are no longer large. I believe that there should be no big problems in the recruitment of the Red Turban Army."

Liu Ji smiled and said, "That's good. The surrounding areas of the Western Region Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate are not stable. After the matter in the southeast is over, Liu will also lead his troops back to the Western Region Protectorate and the Beiting Protectorate as soon as possible."

General Li Hong of the Cavalry then raised another glass of wine and said to Liu Ji: "General Liu, I apologize to you for this glass of wine. My incompetent son, who was so arrogant, dared to take people to attack General Liu in the street. I have already taught him a lesson. I also hope that General Liu will not remember the villain's fate and will not be as knowledgeable as Yi Feng."

Liu Ji held the wine glass, still smiling on his face and said, "Don't worry, General Li, your Li family has made compensation for this. As long as Li Yifeng no longer comes to cause trouble for Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu will never cause any trouble because of that incident."

After drinking the glass of wine in his hand, General Li Hong said to Liu Ji: "I prepared a small gift for General Liu. At this time, he was outside the gate of the provincial governor's office. I hope General Liu will be closer to our Li family in the future."

Liu Ji nodded and said, "As the saying goes, you won't know each other without fighting. Mr. Liu is very willing to be friends with General Li."

After the banquet, Liu Ji came to the gate of the provincial governor's mansion. There was already a carriage equipped with a carriage waiting for Liu Ji outside the gate. At this time, General Li Hong, who was seeing off, whispered to Liu Ji: "General Liu, Huai'an City is also a very famous fireworks place in the Great Jin Dynasty. Among them, the top ten courtesans in Huai'an City are all stunning. The one sitting in the carriage is Ding Cuicui, one of the top ten courtesans in Huai'an, and this Ding Cuicui is also a gentleman! Haha, I wonder if General Liu is satisfied with this little gift?"

General Li Hong of the Cavalry was originally planning to give all three courtesans owned by the Li family in Huai'an City to Liu Ji, but because more than one million Red Turban Army outside Huai'an City voluntarily withdrew, Li Hong was not willing to take out all three courtesans owned by the Li family. After all, each courtesan is worth at least 100,000 taels of gold.

When Liu Ji heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He also heard that Huai'an City is the second only to Qinhuai City in the entire Jin Dynasty. On the way to Huai'an City, Liu Ji was determined to buy some Qing Gong'an with charm value of more than 80 points to expand his harem and obtain some systematic lottery opportunities.

In Qinhuai City, Liu Ji finally took all the twelve golden hairpins of Qinhuai. Now that he heard that there were still ten courtesans in Huai'an City, Liu Ji felt a sudden change.

"General Li, I'm going to tell you that I have no immunity to beauty, especially stunning beauties. Mr. Liu is really satisfied with General Li's gift. Liu Ji thanked General Li again."

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

"By the way, General Li, I wonder if there are bigger houses for sale in Huai'an City? Now the court and the Red Turban Army have negotiated the reunion. I don't know when to talk about it. Mr. Liu wants to buy a bigger house in Huai'an City to accommodate the gifts given by General Li."

"There is no need for General Liu to buy it. Our Li family has an idle house in Huai'an City, which is just a place for General Liu."

"I'm so embarrassed that I must pay me!"

"It's just a house. General Liu should not be out of here. While it was not too late, I immediately sent someone to clean the house so that General Liu could move in tonight."

Because General Li Hong of the Cavalry gave Liu Ji a big mansion, on the evening of January 27, Liu Ji did not leave the city, but sent a few puppet bodyguards to return to the camp of the Polu Army outside the city to report the news. Liu Ji brought Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, the remaining dozens of puppet bodyguards, and the courtesan named Ding Cuicui to the big house. That night, Liu Ji carried Ding Cuicui to bed.

What made Liu Ji very happy was that Ding Cuicui's charm value actually reached 92 points. After Liu Ji seized Ding Cuicui's innocence, the system immediately rewarded Liu Ji for two chances of lottery draws.

Liu Ji did not use these two lottery opportunities immediately. The next morning, after several puppet bodyguards who left the city to report the news last night returned to Liu Ji with a large number of diamonds, Liu Ji immediately took the diamonds and visited the more famous brothels in Huai'an City, preparing to buy back the other nine of the top ten courtesan City's courtesan City with diamonds.

General Li Hong of the Cavalry soon received news that Liu Ji was going to buy a courtesan. After discussing with Li Kang, the governor of Hangzhou, he ordered the brothels of the Li family in Huai'an City to be sold to Liu Ji no matter who Liu Ji wanted to buy, and to give Liu Ji as much as possible in terms of price.

General Li Hong of the Cavalry and Li Kang, the governor of Hangzhou, also sent people to say hello to other famous brothels in Huai'an City, hoping that each brothel could cooperate with Liu Ji as much as possible and not offend Liu Ji.

Thanks to the help of General Li Hong of the Cavalry and Li Kang, the governor of Hangzhou, Liu Ji used diamonds worth 1.06 million taels of gold to buy all nine of the top ten courtesans in Huai'an. In addition, Liu Ji also spent 690,000 taels of gold to buy seventeen stunning young men.

The other nine Huaian courtesans have charm values, only one of them is 89 points, and the other eight people have charm values ​​above ninety points. The seventeen beautiful young men purchased have charm values ​​of 90 points, and the remaining fifteen people have charm values ​​between eighty and ninety points.

Among the nine Huaian courtesans, three of them are no longer innocent courtesans. However, like Yu Lixiang and Zhang Anna, who are among the twelve golden hairpins of Qinhuai, although they have begun to pick up customers, the brothels will not make things difficult for them if they are unwilling to pick up the guests. There are not many men who can become their guests in the curtain so far. So in order to gather the top ten courtesans, Liu Ji also bought the three of them with diamonds.

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

Chen Xiuyan, the deputy palace lord of Tianji Palace, said disdainfully: "Liu Ji is worthy of the word lustful. Now the ten brothel women who are known as the top ten courtesans of Qinhuai have been taken into the bag by Liu Ji. In addition, Liu Ji also redeemed the 17 brothel nurses at once. For these brothel women, Liu Ji spent a total of 1.75 million taels of gold diamonds. Now the scholars who are known as romantic and talented in Huai'an City are almost infuriating!"

Xu Lijiao, the deputy palace lord of Tianji Palace, frowned and said, "I didn't expect that Liu Ji was so lustful. When we went to contact Liu Ji, it seemed that we had to be careful. After all, most of us are women."

Chen Xiuyan, the deputy palace lord of Tianji Palace, said indifferently: "Even if he lends Liu Ji a few courages, he will not dare to attack our Guanghan Palace's personal disciples. Otherwise, even if he has millions of troops, our Guanghan Palace will still be able to kill him!"

The expressions on the faces of Shen Muqing and Zhang Yingying, the personal disciples of Guanghan Palace, did not change at this time, but they thought to themselves that in fact, without having to borrow Liu Ji's courage, he would have dared to attack the personal disciples of Guanghan Palace, and he also put his ideas on the heads of 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 OK, just tomorrow!"

The deputy palace lords of Tianji Palace, Chen Xiuyan and Xu Lijiao, looked at each other, all nodded, and agreed to see Liu Ji tomorrow.

Chen Xiuyan then turned her head and said to Zhang Yingying: "Yingying, go get some food. We will finish dinner together, and then go back to our room to rest. We will go to see Liu Ji tomorrow morning."
