After thinking about it, Gao Huaiyuan finally decided, simply take a leap, follow the example of Meng Zongzheng back then, and also build a private placement army, grant it an army, and make it a member of the Song army, after discussing with the generals, everyone also agreed with his opinion, but this matter Hua Yue advised Gao Huaiyuan not to make a decision first, after all, this is the formation of a new army, without the consent of the imperial court, this is a rebellious behavior, the province will cause trouble, it is better to wait for the official family to speak, and then it will be justified, It will not attract criticism from the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Gao Huaiyuan thinks about it, although his status in the DPRK is now in full swing, but not everyone looks at him pleasing to the eye, if he does this, maybe he will give someone a handle and become a crime against him, so this matter can only be suppressed for the time being, and after Li Quan is completely resolved, he will be dealt with separately.

So Gao Huaiyuan after discussing with the generals, decided to temporarily collect the weapons of these surrendered troops, the imperial court is responsible for supplying them with food, temporarily let them repair the city wall in Chuzhou City, just after this war, the city wall of Chuzhou City collapsed and dilapidated, if it is not repaired, it will be equivalent to becoming an open city, this matter will be done sooner or later, it is better to use these free labor to do it first.

Gao Huaiyuan also specifically asked about the thoughts of these generals like Shi Qing, Shi Qing is now just joining the Song army, and he didn't dare to have other ideas, so he nodded his head again and again in agreement, and patted his chest and said that he was willing to come forward to persuade these soldiers to work, so the other generals also promised to help, so the placement of these soldiers was temporarily solved.

Next, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't drag it out any longer, he ordered Liu Dayong to temporarily guard the city of Chuzhou, supervise these surrendered troops so that they could not make trouble, and at the same time sent someone to inform Xu Xiji to immediately lead the troops to Chuzhou to take over the defense, handle local government affairs on his behalf, and be responsible for clearing the remnants of Li Quan's army scattered around, and he himself personally led the remaining army and continued to send troops to attack Shuyang, so as to capture Li Quan as soon as possible and completely solve Li Quan's trouble.

So early on the morning of the fourth day when the city of Chuzhou was destroyed, Gao Huaiyuan led Huang Yan's loyal army, as well as a total of 20,000 troops from the front of the palace and a division of the infantry army, and drove out of the city in the direction of Shuyang.

After the Song army entered the city this time, the people of Chuzhou City saw that Gao Huaiyuan's troops were very strict in discipline, and there was rarely a situation of disturbing the people, not only did not commit any offense to the people, but also opened a warehouse to help them, so that the people deeply felt the difference of this Song army, most of them were grateful, and when they learned that Gao Huaiyuan led the army to leave Chuzhou City again to go out to fight against Li Quan, they went out of the city to see each other off, and tens of thousands of people went out of the city for more than ten miles, and the people who knelt down on the side of the road along the way were not moved, The common people are such people, who is kind to them, they are grateful, which invisibly makes the officers and soldiers in the army have a sense of pride, feeling that this battle is worth fighting, and finally raises their eyebrows for the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, after being able to rest for a few days, the morale of the soldiers on the expedition was even higher, and they sang all the way to Shuyang.

When Li Quan was broken in Chuzhou, he led a small number of remnants of the defeated generals in a panic, and he did not dare to rest all the way, and ran for more than a hundred miles in a day, and plunged into Shuyang City at night.

At this time, Fu Daquan was also leading the troops to storm Shuyang, because he had limited troops, and he was not prepared for Li Quanhui to suddenly rush here, caught off guard, and let Li Quan pass through his defense line outside the city and break into Shuyang City, after learning that Li Quan led the troops to Shuyang, Fu Daquan was taken aback at first, and at first thought that Li Quan defeated the Song army in Chuzhou, and led the army to come to the aid of Shuyang, but when he inquired about the troops led by Li Quan, he felt that something was not right, It happened that his subordinates caught an injured Li Quan outside the city, and after interrogation, he learned that Li Quan had lost Chuzhou, and that he had fled to Shuyang with the remnants of the defeated army, and Fu Daquan was relieved.

So Fu Daquan ordered to intensify the siege of the city, wanting to show his face in front of Gao Huaiyuan, and kill or capture Li Quan before Gao Huaiyuan arrived, but he didn't think that after Li Quan arrived in Shuyang, although he didn't lead many troops, he strengthened a lot of defensive forces, and Shuyang itself also had more than 10,000 Li Quan's soldiers and horses, and after Li Quan arrived here, they strengthened their defensive forces, so that Fu Daquan led the troops to storm for two days, but still failed to break Shuyang City, but lost a lot of soldiers because he was too eager for quick success.

When Li Quan's Chuzhou army was defeated that day, although he didn't have time to ** too many soldiers and horses, there were still a lot of soldiers in the city who fled from the northeast to Chuzhou City, these people were pursued by the Song army, some fled to the direction of Yancheng, and some were caught up by the Song army to either kill or surrender, and a group of people learned that Li Quan fled to Shuyang, gathered and fled to Shuyang.

And Li Quan can't beat Gao Huaiyuan's Song army, but he is not too afraid of Fu Daquan, after a little rest in Shuyang for two days, he recovered some vitality, reorganized his soldiers and horses, and on the night of the third day, he suddenly personally led the army out of the city to attack Fu Daquan's barracks, but Fu Daquan was unprepared for a while, was defeated by Li Quan, lost a lot of manpower, and was no longer able to surround Shuyang, so he had to gather the rout and retreat to Guanyun County.

The siege of Shuyang was temporarily alleviated, and Li Quan also took the opportunity to gather more than 3,000 old troops who had escaped from Chuzhou and strengthened Shuyang's troops.

But Li Quan knew that his current situation could not last a few days, the Song army would then rush to Shuyang, continue to besiege Shuyang, think about the performance of the Song army this time, Li Quan had palpitations, he from the time of the army, experienced a hundred battles, although he was also beaten by the Jin army very badly, but he had never encountered such a brave division, he couldn't figure out whether the Song army led by Gao Huaiyuan this time had taken the wrong medicine, and it became so capable of fighting, and it took more than a month to drive him out of the painstaking Chuzhou City, and now he is panicking like a lost dog, fled to Shuyang for refuge.

Li Quan's heart was full of hatred, he knew that this time he was defeated, one was to be surnamed Gao, let him dig a tunnel and blow up the city wall, and the other was that a group of people under his command took the opportunity to make trouble, which made him even worse, so that it caused the defeat of Chuzhou, and now it is too late for him to regret it, what he needs to consider is the question of where to go next.

Li Quan didn't sleep for nearly a night, thinking about this problem, now he knows very well that the surname Gao will never stop after winning Chuzhou, he is menacing this time, patting his chest and promising to sweep himself, he will not give up, and then Gao Huaiyuan will definitely lead the troops to pursue Shuyang, although Shuyang is a place where he has been operating for a long time, and now he has also repelled Fu Daquan's Flying Tiger Army, but there is a problem here, for a long time, Shuyang has been at the forefront of the confrontation with the Flying Tiger Army, and it has been warred here for many years. The grain and grass reserves here have long been exhausted under the onslaught of the Flying Tiger Army led by Fu Daquan recently, and now the remaining military food in the city is not enough for them to support them for ten days, once the Song army chases here, Fu Daquan of the Flying Tiger Army once again sends troops to surround him, with his current strength, if he wants to defeat the combined army of the Song Army and the Flying Tiger Army in Shuyang, I am afraid it is impossible.

The bigger problem is that once the Song army and the Flying Tiger army surround Shuyang, they don't need to attack Shuyang for a long time, they only need to besiege Shuyang to the death, and it will only take ten days for him to run out of food, and if he wants to escape at that time, I am afraid it will become impossible.

The more Li Quan thought about it, the more he felt that Shuyang couldn't be guarded, if he stayed here, I was afraid that Shuyang would become his burial place, so if he didn't guard Shuyang, where should he go? Li Quan was troubled by this question.

After Gao Huaiyuan stabilized the situation in Chuzhou, he immediately gathered his troops and horses, went out of Chuzhou again, and killed in the direction of Shuyang, Li Quan even lost the old nest of Chuzhou, how long could he hold on when he arrived in Shuyang? Gao Huaiyuan made up his mind to take Li Quan down in Shuyang, and this guy in the province went to other places, after all, this guy has occupied a lot of territory over the years, if he runs in circles, it will be really a little difficult to chase him!

Although the battle of Chuzhou was fought beautifully, there were still many regrets, firstly, because after the division of troops, his troops were limited and not enough to surround Chuzhou City, so that Li Quan was able to escape after the city was broken, and secondly, he did not expect that Li Quan would not run towards Yancheng, but ran to Shuyang, where the remnants of the defeated army were fighting, and took Fu Daquan by surprise, so that Fu Daquan's Flying Tiger Army paid a big price.

This shows that Li Quan does have some ability, and he can still fight back unexpectedly at this time, no wonder he has been crisscrossing Jingdong for more than ten years, and now it seems that this guy is extraordinary, so Gao Huaiyuan led the troops to attack Shuyang this time, and he was a lot more careful.

The action of the army is not faster than when Li Quan fled, Li Quan was fleeing for his life at that time, abandoning all the baggage, while the Song army had to carry a large number of grain, straw and baggage, etc., and the action was much slower than Li Quan, although Chuzhou was only about 200 miles away from Shuyang, but after all, the Song army was mainly on foot, and it couldn't go far in a day, and when Gao Huaiyuan led the army to Shuyang, it was already four days later.

When the army was still more than 20 miles away from Shuyang City, Gao Huaiyuan looked at the sky, ordered the army to stop, set up camp on the spot to bury pots and make rice, and sent scouts to the outside of Shuyang City to investigate the situation of Li Quan's army and the defense of Shuyang, and after he set up the camp, he immediately discussed with Hua Yue, Huang Yan and others the plan to attack Shuyang tomorrow.
