When he caught up with the Holy Protector Army, Li Xiaotian immediately reported the details of how to defeat Li Quan's ambush army to Gao Huaiyuan, and when he heard of this great victory, the whole army was very excited, Gao Huaiyuan personally visited the captured Northern Army soldiers, and personally informed them as the commander of the Song Army that after they laid down their arms, they would not be persecuted, and immediately ordered the wounded in the battle to be transferred to the rear for proper placement and rescue, and ordered that all these prisoners of war be released and let them choose where to go. Thinking that Taizhou can settle down and give them the road money, let them go on their own road, and if they want to go back to Li Quan's army, they can also issue the road money, let them go back, and those who want to stay in the Song army on the spot to join the army can also be integrated, and they will be directly incorporated into the army, and they will be treated equally.

Such an order undoubtedly made many people a little incomprehensible, knowing that the number of prisoners they captured was related to the size of their military exploits, so some generals expressed their incomprehension.

Only Hua Yue and some other scheming generals immediately understood Gao Huaiyuan's intentions, and they didn't need Gao Huaiyuan to explain to his subordinates, they completed the work in advance!

Hua Yue explained to a few subordinates who had questions about him: You really can't compare with the foresight and wisdom of the big marshal in this regard, how can the big marshal be a prisoner! He is now disintegrating Li Quan's military heart, you can think about it! Although our army once said that as long as the officers and men of Li Quanjun lay down their arms, they would be given preferential treatment and that their faults would not be investigated, but there is no basis for it, and how many people will believe our words?

Now that we have captured so many Northern troops, even if we keep our promise and release them on the spot, as soon as these people return to Li Quan's army, they will immediately inform them of this matter, and we may not be more convincing than one of them to say ten words, so that the Northern Army will definitely have a fluctuating heart, and have no intention of fighting us to the death!

If we break our promise and not only do we not release the prisoners of war, but also torture them, we will surely make the enemy fight to the death in the future, and we will fight to the death, and then it will be our own brothers who will be unlucky!

After listening to Hua Yue's words, even if these generals who didn't understand it understood, they nodded yes one after another, saying that what Gao Huaiyuan did for a long time was still thinking about the future, based on this alone, they could be regarded as short-sighted, so these people had no opinion, and immediately began to release the prisoners of war according to Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, and explained the reason for Gao Huaiyuan to his soldiers to do so, it seemed that they were also very brainy.

After Gao Huaiyuan dealt with this matter, he immediately gave a credit to the Protector of the Holy Army and Li Xiaotian, and at the same time sent a messenger to immediately send the news of this victory back to Lin'an City, and reported it to Zhao Yun to learn that Gao Huaiyuan also specially instructed the messenger to inform the local people and the government of the news along the way, so that more people could know about it as much as possible.

He also had an eye for doing this, that is, to let as many people as possible know the news of their victory, so as to boost the morale of the military and civilians in the country and support him more in public opinion.

And after Li Quandang learned the news that Feng Dazhuang was killed on the spot in the first battle of Panshui Town and the whole army was wiped out, he almost couldn't believe his ears, and asked the person who reported the news three times in a row to make sure that he had heard correctly.

You must know that Feng Dazhuang is another tiger general under him, from the beginning of his rebellion, he followed him to the south and the north, and fought more than ten battles and eight battles, although he was injured again and again, but he did not encounter a fiasco, and this time he originally wanted to send Feng Dazhuang as a pioneer and give the Song army a head-on blow, but he didn't expect Feng Dazhuang to go out this time, but it became his fateful journey and died under the hands of the Song army.

So Li Quan hurriedly asked Feng Dazhuang how he was defeated and died, and the person who reported the news was Feng Dazhuang's subordinates who escaped from the forest, so he told Li Quan what he knew.

Li Quan couldn't help but gasp after hearing this, he knew that he had returned this Song army this time, and he had to re-examine the Song army in front of him, Gao Huaiyuan.

Could it be that Li Quan is no stranger to the name Gao Huaiyuan now, since this person's name entered his field of vision, he has paid more attention to this high-sex guy.

For this reason, he also specially ordered his subordinates to visit Gao Huaiyuan's life experience, and learned in detail about Gao Huaiyuan's growth process, in his eyes, Gao Huaiyuan is really a shit luck guy, because he was a close friend of today's Southern Song Dynasty court officials when he was a teenager, and in recent years, he has followed Zhao Yun to rise to the top, and finally climbed to this position.

In his eyes, Gao Huaiyuan is just a person who is lucky and good at tending to the flames, the battle of Huzhou became famous, but it is also a matter of luck, and today he has to re-examine this Gao Huaiyuan, you must know that he has died under Gao Huaiyuan Two tiger generals, one is Liu Bao who died in the first battle of Hongjieshan, and the other is Feng Dazhuang who just died in battle in front of him.

Seeing that the imperial army was in front of him, Li Quan could no longer sit still, and immediately ordered troops and sent generals, and once again sent Liu Qingfu to marshal 10,000 soldiers and horses, Chen stationed in Baoying County, relying on Baoying County, to drag the Song army north.

Liu Qingfu has been idle by Li Quan in the past year or two, just because he attacked Haizhou at the beginning, and later had a conflict with Li Fu, so he was cut off by Li Quan's military power and idle in Chuzhou City, although he did not deal with him clearly, in essence, it was equivalent to putting him under house arrest, and Liu Qingfu was quite dissatisfied with this, and complained to Li Quan many times.

And this time the Song army crusaded against Li Quan, but also gave Liu Qingfu a chance, after all, Li Quan's subordinates are not many generals, and Liu Qingfu has always had some prestige in the army under his command, and he has always been loyal to him, so he re-enabled Liu Qingfu and let him be his deputy general, and Liu Qingfu was able to be used by Li Quanzhong again this time, he was very excited, and he was determined to do a good job, so that Li Quanjun knew that he Liu Qingfu was not a mediocre talent, so after the order, he immediately ordered troops to be stationed in Baoying County, Keeping the people in Baoying County as hostages, helping him defend the county seat together, and building several lines of defense outside the city in advance, ready to hold on.

Liu Qingfu is not a mediocre talent, this person was the first to pull a pole of people to rebel, and later attached to Li Quan, becoming a strong soldier under Li Quan, these years have been following Li Quannan to fight in the north, and have made a lot of achievements, large and small, have also experienced a hundred battles, can be regarded as a general who has experienced a hundred battles.

Among Li Quan's subordinates, he is one of the few veterans he can count, so he enjoys a good reputation in Li Quan's army, and many of his generals are from his subordinates.

Unlike Li Quan, Liu Qingfu is still relatively cautious, since the defeat of Haizhou, he has been idle, so using this time, Liu Qingfu took time to analyze the situation in detail, for this Song army's attack, Liu Qingfu never dared to underestimate the Song army.

In his opinion, since the fall of Shi Miyuan's party in the Southern Song Dynasty, the direction of the wind has changed greatly, and it is very rare for a military general to be in power in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Gao Huaiyuan joined the army as a young man, which can be regarded as a small army, and he can sit in the position of the privy envoy now, in addition to luck, he must also have some ability, and Liu Qingfu took advantage of nothing to do, and also collected details about the first battle in Huzhou, and understood Gao Huaiyuan's means of using troops, and also understood the combat strength of the army under Gao Huaiyuan.

Therefore, after he regained control of the army this time, he did not underestimate the Song army led by Gao Huaiyuan, and knew that Gao Huaiyuan would definitely mobilize the elite divisions of the Song army to crusade against Li Quan, so with Li Quan's soldiers and horses under his command, its elite level would definitely not exceed the Song army of the Northern Expedition.

Therefore, after receiving the order, he gave up the active attack and adopted a passive defense to delay the Song army's northward march as much as possible, drag the Song army into a tired army, and then slowly wear down this Song army.

It was also made up of this idea, as soon as he led the army to Baoying County, he immediately personally urged his soldiers of the Northern Army to strengthen the city wall, build various defense facilities, and prepare a large number of rolling wood and stones on the city wall, as well as a lot of artillery carts and other things, and made a posture of stubborn defense.

After Gao Huaiyuan rested for a day in Panshui Town, he immediately waved his army to continue northward, and his troops pointed directly at Baoying County, making a gesture to capture Baoying County in one fell swoop, take this southern gateway to Chuzhou, and open the road to Chuzhou.

When the Holy Protector Army was the first to arrive outside Baoying County, Liu Qingfu learned that the Song army had arrived, so he immediately closed the city gate, put away the drawbridge, and ordered no one to fight, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

Li Xiaotian's vigorous leadership rushed to the city of Baoying County, and immediately set up a battle formation, lined up outside the city, and sent people to start scolding the formation, and wanted the northern army defending the city to come out to fight, divided into high and low.

But Liu Qingfu stood on the top of the city, he just refused to go out of the city to fight with the Song army, but carefully looked at the Song army outside the city, didn't know if he didn't know, he was startled when he saw it, and after seeing it, Liu Qingfu couldn't help but gasp, and was frightened by the momentum of the Song army outside the city.

He had already expected that this time the leader surnamed Gao would come to attack, and he would definitely call the most elite soldiers and horses of the Song army, but he didn't expect that the vanguard army of the Song army that appeared outside the city was so elite, all the Song army soldiers without exception were all dressed in exquisite light iron armor, among which there was also a battalion of heavy armored infantry troops, with Wu Ming shining in their hands, swords, guns, axes and axes were all excellent, bows and crossbows were complete, morale was like a rainbow, and this Song army was strictly disciplined, its speed was like the wind, its Xu was like a forest, the invasion was like fire, and it was difficult to know like yin; It is not moving like a mountain, but it is moving like thunder.
