Zhang Mingqi, the commander of the Southeast Fang Army, finally chose to surrender to the Lu army. On December 13, 432, when the Lu army arrived in Jianyang City, Zhang Mingqi led more than 600,000 defeated soldiers of the Southeast Fang Army, and opened the gate of Jianyang City. At this point, the Southeast Fang Army, which had unified the seven southeastern prefectures of the Great Jin Dynasty, was completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

In a palace in the imperial palace of Mengyuan City, the capital of Lu, Emperor Jiang Sheng said to Liu Mian, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of War: "Taiwei Liu, how do you think the more than 600,000 troops of the Southeast Fang Army should be placed?"

Zhang Mingqi was discouraged because his civil servants and military generals were betrayal of his relatives and were even distracted from military power. When Lu State promised to give Zhang Mingqi a duke, Zhang Mingqi agreed to hand over the remaining 600,000 Southeast Fang Army and half of Suzhou in his hand to the Lu State's army.

Liu Mian, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of War, said: "Your Majesty, the troops with strong combat effectiveness in the Southeast Fang Army have already defected to the Polu Army under the leadership of several generals. The remaining 600,000 troops in Zhang Mingqi's hands are comparable to those of our Lu State's strong men who transported grain. I feel that it is better to incorporate all of these 600,000 people into the strong men who transported grain."

Emperor Jiang Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "These more than 600,000 Southeast Fang Army soldiers took the initiative to surrender to our State of Lu. It is inevitable that it is inappropriate to just join them into the ranks of the squad. We have to set an example for other Jin troops! I feel that we can draw a group of generals and veterans from the various legions in Suzhou, and then select some strong ones from the more than 600,000 Southeast Fang Army soldiers to form a new main force. The remaining Southeast Fang Army will be supplemented with the squad."

Liu Mian, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of War, nodded and said, "Your Majesty has considered it carefully. I will let the new main force complete the reorganization as soon as possible."

Emperor Jiang Sheng continued: "In addition, I will send someone to escort Zhang Mingqi to Mengyuan City as soon as possible. I have always wanted to meet this Southeast Governor of Jin State. Zhang Mingqi can also be regarded as a hero!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will ask the Third Legion in Suzhou to draw a group of elite troops and escort Zhang Mingqi to Mengyuan City in the near future."

"Is there any movement in the Polu Army in Suzhou and Hangzhou?"

"Your Majesty, the main force of the Polu Army has just arrived in Suzhou, and the Polu Army has not made any moves yet."

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

On the morning of December 18, Liu Ji led the twenty cavalry brigades of the Grassland Legion, the twenty cavalry brigades of the Beiting Legion, the five cavalry brigades and five infantry brigades of the Guard Legion, the five cavalry brigades and twenty infantry brigades of the local Legion, as well as 170,000 Tang Dynasty Modao soldiers, 550,000 Wei State Wushang, 35,000 soldiers of the trap camp, 20,000 Han Dynasty Tiger Ben Army and 12,000 Tang Dynasty Xuanjia soldiers, and finally arrived at Qinhuai City, the prefecture of Suzhou.

The reason why Liu Ji led his troops away for more than a month was that Liu Ji led his troops to take over Meizhou and Yuzhou, and transferred some local troops from Meizhou and Yuzhou to various infantry brigades of the Guards and local corps. Some soldiers from various infantry brigades of the Guards and local corps were left by Liu Ji in Meizhou and Yuzhou.

Guizhou, Yuzhou and Leizhou in the southwest had all been taken over by the troops of the Polu Army Guard Corps. Because of the operation of the Thirteenth Family, the Polu Army took over the above-mentioned prefectures and counties, and the process was quite smooth.

Including Su and Hangzhou, there are fourteen states in the twenty-four states of the Jin Dynasty that have fallen into the hands of the Polu Army. As long as the Polu Army can defeat the invading army of Lu this time, no force can stop Liu Ji from taking over Canglong City.

Liu Ji met the four generals of the former Southeast Fang Army, Zhao Lianjin, Zhou Jiling, Fan Dongying and Yuan Tianba, and Tang Yan, the first strategist of the Southeast Chief General Zhang Mingqi, in Qinhuai City.

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

Among these five people, Zhao Lianjin and Zhou Jiling's three-dimensional value was above 80 points, Fan Dongying and Yuan Tianba had the strength of peerless military generals, and Tang Yan reached the level of a top civil official. It can be said that most of the elites of the Southeast Fang Army were here, and these five people also brought Liu Ji 1.4 million troops of the Southeast Fang Army.

Liu Ji then tried hard on these five people, and Liu Ji also promised Zhao Lianjin, Zhou Jiling, Fan Dongying and Yuan Tianba that after defeating the invading army of Lu, he would form the Southeast Army's Southeast Legion based on the 1.4 million Southeast Fang army. The four of them would each have their own value. The four of them temporarily led the one and 400,000 troops and fought with the main force of the Polu Army. As for Tang Yan, Liu Ji, he was temporarily left by his side to listen to it.

With the addition of the troops of the Southeast Fang Army, the Polu Army has gathered more than 6.4 million troops in Suzhou and Hangzhou. This is not the case with the 30,000 Han Tiger Ben Army, 30,000 Tang Dynasty Xuan Armored Soldiers, 40,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, 40,000 White Horse Congyi, 93,600 Tang Dynasty Mo Dao Soldiers, 150,000 Cang Camp soldiers, 240,000 Eastern Jin Dynasty Northern Palace soldiers, 270,000 Wei State Wushang Soldiers, 256,000 Ming Dynasty Baigang Soldiers and 1,600 Qin State Soldiers.

Tang Yan also sent Liu Ji a big gift, covering the entire Jin Dynasty, and even the State of Lu and Zhou, which is the intelligence agency called the Red Fox in the Southeast Fang Army.

Thanks to the support of Zhang Mingqi, the former commander of the Southeast Fang Army, the Red Fox is not weak. Even among Liu Ji's concubines, there are Red Fox people. Of course, those Liu Ji's concubines will leave the Red Fox in the future and no longer need to worry every day.

In order to raise military funds, Zhang Mingqi directly uprooted some aristocratic families and wealthy families in the Southeast Seven Prefectures, and plundered a large amount of wealth from them. Among these destroyed aristocratic families and wealthy families, almost all young and beautiful women were trained to become beautiful spies of the Red Fox.

This time, there were more than 300 beautiful red fox spies brought to Qinhuai City. Many of them had not completed the training. Tang Yan presented all the more than 300 beautiful red fox spies to Liu Ji.

When facing the beauty, Liu Ji was of course not polite. He directly took 214 out of more than 300 beauties. The charm values ​​of these 214 beauties were above 80 points, and the other more than 100 beauties whose charm values ​​did not reach 80 points, Liu Ji handed them to Tang Yan again, asking Tang Yan to continue training more than 100 beauties. However, the intelligence agency of Red Fox, Liu Ji did not let it be directly incorporated into the Black Water Platform, and Tang Yan is still responsible for the time being.

In a study room in the prefecture palace of Qinhuai City, Liu Ji said to Tang Yan: "I didn't expect that the Grand Governor Zhang Mingqi would choose to surrender to the people of Lu in the end. This has had a very bad impact on our entire Grand Jin. The Red Fox is strong in Suzhou. This Grand Governor hopes that the Red Fox can cooperate with the Hei Shuitai and do not let Zhang Mingqi leave Suzhou!"

Liu Ji's meaning is very straightforward, and he is planning to let the Red Fox cooperate with the Hei Shuitai to get rid of Zhang Mingqi. After all, Zhang Mingqi was once the commander of the Southeast Fang Army and had a huge influence in the entire Southeast Fang Army. Now, 1.4 million troops of the Southeast Fang Army surrendered to the name of the Polu Army. If Zhang Mingqi does not die for a day, Liu Ji feels uneasy for a day.

Tang Yan said without hesitation: "Don't worry, lord, Hong Fox will definitely cooperate with Heishuitai and prevent Zhang Mingqi from leaving Suzhou, a Jin traitor!"

Zhang Mingqi's first kick completely cold Tang Yan's heart, so Tang Yan used all the power of the Red Fox and took away the 600,000 Southeast Fang Army in Jianyang City in an instant.

Liu Ji smiled and patted Tang Yan on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Tang is right. Zhang Mingqi is now a Jin traitor. Everyone should be punished for Jin traitors."

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

The Polu Army and the Lu Army then gathered large armies at the border between Su, Hangzhou, Qiong and Suzhou, but neither side launched an attack first, forming a confrontation.

Liu Ji did not stay in Qinhuai City. All 214 beautiful red fox spies with charm value above 80 o'clock were won by Liu Ji in twenty days. Among them, twenty-four beautiful women with charm value at 90 o'clock contributed 48 groups of elite soldiers produced by the system to Liu Ji, and the remaining 190 groups of elite soldiers produced by the system to Liu Ji.

The 238 groups of elite soldiers produced by the system, including fifty groups of Eastern Jin and Northern Palace soldiers, fifty groups of Wei Wushu and 138 groups of Qin Ruishi, turned the Eastern Jin and Northern Palace soldiers reserved by Liu Ji in the system into 280,000, Wei Wushu and 315,000, and Qin Ruishi.

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

Because Emperor Jiang Sheng of Lu wanted to meet Zhang Mingqi, the Third Army of Lu in Suzhou transferred two fully organized battalions to escort Zhang Mingqi and Zhang Mingqi's family to the capital of Lu, Mengyuan City. Zhang Mingqi's family included more than 50 wives and concubines, five sons and nine daughters. Zhang Mingqi's oldest child was only eleven years old this year.

According to the military system of Lu, each fully organized battalion has about 3,000 people, and two fully organized battalions have 6,000 people.

After Zhang Mingqi handed over more than 600,000 Southeast Fang Army, only about 500 guards were left behind, and his cousin Liu Fengbao was temporarily in charge. The 500 guards also followed Zhang Mingqi to Mengyuan City in Lu State.

Just as the team escorting Zhang Mingqi's family was about to leave Suzhou and enter Lianzhou, they were attacked by many masked men in black in a dense forest.

There are less than a thousand black-clothed masked men, but all of them are skilled in martial arts. Many even have the strength of peerless military generals or top military generals. Six thousand elite troops of the Lu army and five hundred Zhang Mingqi's guards were defeated step by step under the attacks of these black-clothed masked men.

In just about one stick of incense, six thousand elite troops of the Lu army and five hundred Zhang Mingqi's guards were already injured and killed. Even Liu Fengbao, who had the strength of a peerless general, was easily killed by three black-clothed masked men. These three masked men were all puppet bodyguards with the strength of a peerless general.

Most of these masked black-clothed men are elites from the Black Water Platform. In order to kill Zhang Mingqi, Liu Ji even drew eighty puppet bodyguards around him, including thirty puppet bodyguards with the strength of peerless generals, and the remaining fifty puppet bodyguards also possess the strength of peerless generals.

After Zhang Mingqi was covered in blood and surrounded by several masked men in black, Zhang Mingqi smiled bitterly and said, "Are you people from the Polu Army?"

Unfortunately, these masked men were all puppet bodyguards, and no one answered Zhang Mingqi's question at all. They rushed forward and killed Zhang Mingqi.

After the sound of fighting in the dense forest disappeared, two people covered in black walked to Zhang Mingqi's body, and one of them sighed and said, "No matter what, I am a master and servant. I wonder if I can leave him a whole body?"

Another person nodded and said, "The lord only let us take Zhang Mingqi's life, but we did not let us take Zhang Mingqi's head back."

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

"Mr. Tang, what should we do with Zhang Mingqi's family?"

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 came to Suzhou in person. They also had to pay attention. After all, Liu Ji issued an order not to let Zhang Mingqi leave Suzhou alive.

Tang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Among the more than 50 wives and concubines of Zhang Mingqi, many of them are stolen by Zhang Mingqi in recent years. I think these stunning beauties can be presented to my lord. As for those wives and concubines who gave birth to children for Zhang Mingqi, and Zhang Mingqi's children, I think it is better to solve them together in order to avoid any future troubles. I wonder what Lord Jia means?"

Jia Xu nodded slightly and said, "Then do as Mr. Tang's wishes! If Zhang Mingqi and his children are brought back, the lord might have become a woman's kindness again. As for Zhang Mingqi's wives and concubines who are charming in the country, I believe the lord should be very satisfied."
