As soon as Li Fu saw Li Quan, he threw himself in front of Li Quan's case with a handful of snot and tears, and asked Li Quan:

As soon as Li Quan saw Li Fu, he was a little impatient, and replied in a ghostly manner:

Li Fu blinked and looked at Li Quan, he didn't know if what Li Quan said was true or not, today he heard at home that Song Jun shouted that Yang Miaozhen led his two nephews to surrender to Song Jun, so frightened that he rushed out of the house and broke into Li Quan's mansion to find out the news, and now he was a little relieved to see that Li Quan did not admit it.

Li Fu is most afraid of Li Quan's surrender now, you must know that the Chuzhou mutiny was done by him and Liu Qingfu, and he also killed a lot of Xu Guo's subordinate officials with his own hands, even if the Song court can let Li Quan's family go, he can't let him and Liu Qingfu go, so Li Fu is now the most reluctant person to surrender, and now he also knows that it is time for life and death, if he can't dissuade Li Quan from surrendering, he will become a victim.

So Li Fu immediately said: I said brother, although the defeat in Pizhou was my fault, and I deserved it because my brother punished me at the beginning, but at this time you and I are brothers after all, and now I heard that some people in the army are plotting to betray, you and I are brothers, at this time, let me help my brother at this time! No matter what others say, there is no foolish brother, I can be trusted! Once Chuzhou is lost, won't the foundation you have laid over the years be buried like this, brother?

After Li Fu said that, he looked at Li Quan with blank eyes, waiting for Li Quan to speak, and after Li Quan listened, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, although the middle brother in front of him was not very angry, and he was too greedy, so he stabbed a lot of Lou Zi, but since he started to raise troops to resist Jin, Li Fu has been following him, and he is also loyal to him, what others think of him now is not clear, at least Li Fu is his own brother, and he will never betray him like Xia Quan and Zhang Hui, the most reliable person is probably Li Fu.

And Li Fu's last sentence hit his vital point, after he Li Quan's incident, for so many years, blood and sweat, finally laid this foundation, if he surrendered now because of Yang Miaozhen and their mother and son, all his efforts in the past ten years will be in vain.

The eldest husband has no wife, although he and Yang Miaozhen have a good relationship, but at the moment he can't choose to surrender, and Yang Miaozhen's mother and son are now in the hands of the Song army, presumably the Song army will not dare to kill them, once the Song army kills them, it will definitely arouse the anger of the northern army, and even provoke the soldiers in Peng Yibin's army to be dissatisfied, turn around and resist the Song army, so Yang Miaozhen is not necessarily in danger at the moment.

What's more, Yang Miaozhen ignored his comfort in anger and left Chuzhou City with his son, which made Li Quan very dissatisfied, and subconsciously looked down on the relationship between him and Yang Miaozhen for more than ten years, and didn't pay much attention to her life and death.

Now Li Quan is a little crazy, in order to keep his status and power, he can't care about anything else, even if it is his two sons, he can't control so much, in his opinion, only by taking Chuzhou and waiting for the opportunity to defeat the Song army can he keep his small country, otherwise, everything will become a thing of the past, and there will never be a return.

Thinking of this, Li Quan suddenly stood up, bypassed the big case and picked up Li Fu, who was kneeling in front of him, and said with emotion:

Li Fu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, and then received Li Quan's general order, went out and brought some of Li Quan's personal soldiers to him, and immediately headed towards the south gate.

Immediately, Li Quan ordered his subordinates to go to all parts of the city to preach, informing the city general Yang Miaozhen that he was not obtained by the Song army, but had gone to Suqian to supervise the grain and grass reinforcements, so that the soldiers in the city could rest assured, don't listen to the rumors of the Song army, and mess up the army's morale.

At this time, the soldiers and generals in Chuzhou City couldn't figure out who was telling the truth, whether Yang Miaozhen was captured by the Song army or not became a mystery, and someone had to uncover it.

Li Quan is not willing to fail, and he also knows that after the precedent of Xia Quan and Zhang Hui, there will be many generals in the army who have different intentions, once they rebel in the city, then even if the city defense of Chuzhou City is arranged properly, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be broken by the Song army, in order to control his generals, so according to Li Fu's strategy, he set up a banquet in his mansion that night, and summoned his main generals to the mansion to attend the banquet, on the one hand, in order to boost morale, let these generals follow him to defend Chuzhou City, on the other hand, after the banquet began, The people in the palace were sent to invite the wives and children of these generals to the back mansion in the name of his concubines, nominally to reminisce about the past, but in fact the wives and children of these subordinates were placed under house arrest in his mansion as hostages.

This trick can be regarded as yin enough, and it suddenly made the hearts of those dissenting generals stationed in the city cold by half, and the wives and children were controlled by Li Quan, so that they could throw rat traps, and they did not dare to have the idea of surrendering the city again.

Li Quantie tied his subordinates to his chariot with all his strengths, and made it clear that as long as the city of Chuzhou was broken, everyone would not want to retreat.

So Li Quanjun in the city of Chuzhou was forced to prepare for war again.

After Gao Huaiyuan led the army to arrive outside Chuzhou City, he personally went to the front of the battle to check the defense of Chuzhou City, but when he, Hua Yue and the others saw the situation in Chuzhou City, they all frowned a little.

The city of Chuzhou is indeed an important military town in Huaidong, and the city wall here has been built very solidly under the construction of the Southern Song Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, which is much stronger than the Baoying City they conquered before.

The city wall of Chuzhou City is as high as five zhang, two zhang and five feet wide at the bottom, two feet five feet wide at the top, forming an absolutely stable trapezoid, Chuzhou is a city from the flat ground, the inside of the city wall is a rammed earth structure, and the city bricks are covered with more than two feet thick on the outside of the wall, the city bricks are mostly quarried from the nearby bluestone, and some of them are specially fired with clay City bricks, as if the city wall is covered with a layer of iron armor in general, and the city wall is equipped with enemy towers and crossbow platforms every other section, these places can be stationed in a large number of crossbowmen to garrison, and many throwing carts can also be placed. Bed crossbows and other imperial guards, such a strong city wall, even in modern times, with large-caliber artillery, I don't know how many shells it will take to destroy them, not to mention in this era, if you want to conquer the city, it is even more difficult.

In addition to the strong and tall city wall, there is no shortage of various imperial guarding facilities outside the city of Chuzhou, according to the standard style, there are several lines of defense outside the city, such as sheep and horse walls, moats, horse guns, antler wood, horse pits, and thistles.

Moreover, Li Quan had made preparations in advance during this period of time, and strengthened the defensive measures on the original basis, if the Song army wanted to rely on force to conquer Chuzhou City, he could not imagine how many casualties it would have to pay to achieve victory.

And now Gao Huaiyuan does not have so many troops, he has only gathered less than 40,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and Li Quan's army in the city is enough to have more than 50,000 people.

Fortunately, now Gao Huaiyuan's decision is to solve the problem of Chuzhou in a peaceful way as much as possible, and he has learned that Li Quan's army in the city is now scattered, otherwise, it is difficult for Gao Huaiyuan to imagine how he should take Chuzhou City, attacking such a strong city, there are clouds of soldiers, ten rules to surround it, at least if it does not exceed three times the strength of the enemy, it is difficult to work, and his current strength is not only not more than three times that of Li Quan, but it is also slightly insufficient than Li Quan's troops. His actions this time are a bit too risky anyway, this battle is really a sandwich meal!

After seeing the situation in Chuzhou City, Gao Huaiyuan and his generals all shook their heads secretly, feeling that if Li Quan did not surrender, I am afraid that this battle would not be easy to fight.

After Gao Huaiyuan saw the defense of Chuzhou City, he returned to the big tent and summoned the generals to ask them.

Liu Dayong was the first to come out this time and hugged his fists and said:

And Huang Yan also stood up and said to Gao Huaiyuan seriously: Once Li Quan ignores the life and death of his wife and children, and decides to resist again, in the end, we will still have to storm Chuzhou City, so the lower officials think that we can't count on Li Quancheng to surrender, but to go all out to prepare for the siege, only in this way can we put pressure on Li Quanjun, strive for his soldiers to be more prosperous, and finally force Li Quan to surrender!
