Chapter 238: Hearing the Wind and Moving
Li Quan soon learned of the movement of Zhenjiang Mansion, and couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his heart, he knew that the court had made up its mind, and it was impossible to let him go this time, his heart was full of resentment, he was originally a hero, and he had thought of overthrowing the rule of the Jin State, but the Song State, over the years, did not trust them these northern armies, not only did not fully support them, but also restrained their hands and feet everywhere, just thinking about winning them over with small favors, and then making small moves, Divide them in JD.com.

Li Quan has been desperate for the imperial court over the years, so he gradually bred the ambition to dominate Jingdong, these years, he openly attached himself to the Southern Song Dynasty court, secretly continued to accumulate strength, and squeezed the Southern Song Dynasty's forces out of his jurisdiction, if it were not for Peng Yibin's defection and Fu Daquan's defection, he can now basically say that he has controlled the entire Jingdong area and even most of the territory of Hebei East Road, but unfortunately people are not as good as the sky, and finally because of a plan, Now it can only be squeezed in the southeast of Jingdong and the northeast of Huaibei, and the territory has shrunk a lot compared with a few years ago.
But this does not affect him to be the king and hegemon in Jingdong, after all, there are Peng Yibin and ** in the north, and the Flying Tiger Army They are resisting the attack of the Jin Army and the Mongolian Army for him, and he only needs to keep an eye on the west and not let the Jin Army take advantage of the weakness to enter his territory, as long as he does not fight Peng Yibin and the Flying Tiger Army, they will not attack him Li Quan without authorization, this small life is actually quite comfortable.
What is annoying is that Xu Guo was really arrogant at the beginning, forcing him to launch a mutiny, forcing Xu Guo to escape from Chuzhou and hang himself.
In this way, he completely offended the Southern Song Dynasty court, and what was even more stupid was that he would send troops to support Zhao Hong, the king of Ji, to rebel, but as a result, stealing chickens and rice, not to mention the six thousand elites including Liu Bao, was completely hated by the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty today!
But if Shi Miyuan doesn't fall, this is not a big problem, but what he didn't expect is that the DPRK and China would launch a military admonition in such a quick time, and Shi Miyuan and his party were all defeated overnight, and now he became a thorn in the side of the Southern Song Dynasty court, a thorn in the flesh!
Knowing that he could not be spared from fighting with the southern army this time, Li Quan was busy during this time, strengthening the defense south of Chuzhou, and constantly contacting all forces, in order to get the help of those forces who were also in the northern army, and even the help of the Jin country.
For this reason, he sent people to spread rumors around Jingdong, saying that the Southern Song Dynasty court had no credibility at all, and now they were dismissed from the Red Jacket Army, seeing that the Jin State was in decline, they were no longer needed.
He also spread rumors, saying that the Southern Song Dynasty court planned to stab him Li Quan first, and as soon as he Li Quan was finished, he would immediately attack the other northern armies, and invite Peng Yibin, the Flying Tiger Army, Zhang Rong and other northern army forces to support him.
In this way, it really has a certain effect, and the small forces under the banner of the Red Jacket Army in some places have announced that they will help Li Quan, defend Huaidong, and prevent the Song Army from succeeding, but it is a pity that the largest forces in Jingdong at the moment, including Peng Yibin, **, and the generals of the Flying Tiger Army, have not expressed their positions, nor have they promised Li Quan, they will put aside their prejudices at this time, and will not take the opportunity to attack Li Quan's territory.
This made Li Quan very annoyed during this time, and scolded Peng Yibin and others in the mansion all day long for not remembering the old feelings, watching him be attacked by the Song army, but he fell into the well, but he scolded and scolded, but he didn't have any way to deal with them.
The people sent to the Jin State for help did not come back at all, and were directly arrested by the Jin Lord, sent to the border of the Southern Song Dynasty, and handed over to the Southern Song Dynasty local government, without agreeing to Li Quan's request at all.
The gold lord Wanyan Shouxu's attitude is very resolute now, that is, he can't offend the Southern Song Dynasty by saying anything, anyway, Jingdong has been lost, and he can't stand up for Li Quan, help Li Quan attack the Southern Song Dynasty, the province is cheaper than Li Quan, and offend the Southern Song Dynasty, but he will never help the Southern Song Dynasty, take this opportunity to attack Li Quan, and the province will be cheaper than the Southern Song Dynasty, and then he will have to turn his face with the Southern Song Dynasty again.
The gold lord Wanyan Shouxu made up his mind, he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and he saw the opportunity to see if the opportunity could recover some of the lost territory, and the most important thing for him now is to gather the heavy troops and even the elite soldiers and horses of the Jin country, and concentrate on Tongguan to defend against the southern invasion of the Mongolian army, where is there time to greet Li Quan!
At this time, Genghis Khan had already begun to plan to attack Western Xia in the south, and he was quite hesitant about the suggestions made by Li Quan's envoys, and now they were preparing for war to attack Western Xia, and Li Quan's sphere of influence was not connected with their current jurisdiction, how could they support Li Quan?
So Genghis Khan asked his subordinates to consult, and his advisers then plotted to let Genghis Khan agree to Li Quan's surrender, and let Chen stationed in the north of Jingdong lead troops and horses to attack and put pressure on Peng Yibin and ** and Zhang Rong's jurisdiction, and contain the discordant forces of Jingdong for Li Quan, and see if he can take the opportunity to usurp the territory of Jingdong, but do not send a large army to Jingdong, so as not to affect the war to destroy Western Xia.
Genghis Khan finally adopted the advice of his advisers, told Li Quan's envoy, agreed to Li Quan's surrender, and appointed Li Quan as the governor of Jingdong Road, which was regarded as giving Li Quan another title, nominally Li Quan's sphere of influence was considered the jurisdiction of Mongolia, and ordered his subordinates to guard the general Polu of Jingdong Youzhou to send troops to attack Jingdong Peng Yibin and ** jurisdiction, and take the opportunity to seize some land, which was considered to be a response to Li Quan.
After Li learned the news a year ago, he was somewhat relieved, and said in his heart that the Southern Song Dynasty would not give him an official anyway, so he would be an official of the Mongols, and with the big tree of the Mongols to enjoy the shade, presumably the Southern Song Dynasty should be a little more careful!
But Li Quan still didn't dare to immediately announce the news of his rebellion against the Mongols, because a considerable part of his subordinates were still quite resistant to the rebellion against the Song Dynasty and the Mongols, in the eyes of many Jingdong people, the Mongol Empire was a barbarian nation, not enough to hold, and they didn't believe that the Mongols would be stronger than the Jurchens, not to mention that when Li Quan had not yet turned against Peng Yibin, the Mongol army had also raised troops to loot Jingdong, killing people like hemp, which was a hundred times more barbaric than the Jin army, so the seeds of hatred had been planted.
Li Quan also knew these things, for fear that after Leng Buding directly announced his rebellion against the Song Dynasty and surrendered to Mongolia, his subordinates would be distracted, and the little popularity that he had finally gathered by spreading rumors would collapse on the day he announced his surrender to Mongolia.
Li Quan is not a fool, so although he got the guarantee of the Mongols, he didn't dare to take out this card, he could only secretly cover it in his pocket, and he didn't dare to show it, and he could only send people to garrison troops in various places to spread the news, count the various wrongs of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the benefits that may be obtained by joining the surrender of the Mongols.
So Li Quan before the New Year, has been holding on to the news and did not dare to tell more people, just after the New Year, he received a message from the Southern Song Dynasty, saying that the Song army has been sworn in Lin'an, and the Southern Song Dynasty official Zhao Yun announced to the world, dismissed Li Quan from all official positions, and now he is no longer an official of the Southern Song Dynasty, let alone a festival envoy, and was demoted to a commoner by the Southern Song Dynasty court.
After Li Quan learned the news, he immediately arrested all the officials stationed in the Southern Song Dynasty in the territory, and the army immediately forced in the direction of Taizhou when it left Chuzhou, making a posture of attacking first.
At the same time, Li Quan also ordered Wang Yishen's 30,000 troops to advance by land and water, raided Yancheng in the name of catching thieves, and captured all the officials and troops of the Southern Song Dynasty in Yancheng, and completely placed Yancheng in his jurisdiction, which was regarded as a kind of revenge against the imperial court.
And Xu Xiji, who is currently the envoy of Huaidong, has already evacuated Chuzhou because of Li Quan's unreasonableness before, and led the army Chen to be stationed in the Jinhu area, so he was spared from being arrested by Li Quan, so far Li Quan and the Southern Song Dynasty have completely turned their faces.
And Li Quan immediately personally dressed up neatly, ordered the 70,000 troops he had prepared to leave Chuzhou, and Chen stationed in the area of Baoying's army, and prepared to defend against the enemy according to the defense line they had built in advance.
After Gao Huaiyuan crossed the river, the army marched to Taizhou and learned that Gao Huaiyuan let his subordinates release the carrier pigeons he had prepared, and one by one the carrier pigeons flew into the sky with his orders, first after circling the sky, they chose the direction and flew towards the north.
At this time, the main generals of the Flying Tiger Army had basically gathered in Haizhou City, and batches of elite Flying Tiger soldiers and generals had also entered their respective preset positions in batches.
At the speed of carrier pigeons, after more than a day, Fu Daquan, Zhou Jun, and Liu Chengyi received Gao Huaiyuan's instructions.
Okay! It's finally time to do it! This is really enough for Li Quan to drink a pot! Ha ha! Fu Daquan sat behind the handsome case, and smiled at Zhou Jun, Liu Chengyi and others sitting next to him with the piece of paper that his subordinates untied from the pigeon's legs.
Zhou Jun took the piece of paper from Fu Da, looked down at it, laughed too, nodded and said: It seems that the young master has really moved this time, so we don't have to wait any longer! It's time to get started! In the past two years, we have been a lot of Li Quan's bird, and it's finally time for us to teach him a lesson! Hehe!
