After dawn, a group of soldiers and horses went out of Huzhou City, searching in the direction of Taihu Lake, and met Gao Huaiyuan on the way back to the city on foot, when these people saw Gao Huaiyuan, they immediately stepped forward to pay homage and said: "See General Gao, after capturing Huzhou City last night, General Hua and others could not find General Gao, I was really anxious, and then I heard that General Gao went out of the north gate, so he sent several teams to look for the general, please hurry up and get on the horse and return to the city!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan also knew that he was only concerned about chasing Zhao Hong, and did not explain to Huayue and them, and this night was estimated to scare them a lot, so he nodded and said: "You immediately follow this road to the shore of Taihu Lake, and search any place by land and water, so as to find and capture the traitor king!" Also, help me find my mount by the way, I lost my mount last night in order to chase the enemy! ”

These soldiers immediately received the order, gave their mounts to Gao Huaiyuan, and began to follow Gao Huaiyuan's orders, casting a huge net in the direction of Taihu Lake to launch a super-large-scale search. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Gao Huaiyuan returned to Huzhou City, when he entered the city, Huzhou City had already ended the battle, a large number of prisoners were being escorted out of the city, temporarily outside the city to watch, and the city was also in peace, searching for the remnants of the rebel generals.

When they saw Gao Huaiyuan return safely, Hua Yue and the others were relieved and welcomed Gao Huaiyuan into the state government.

Gao Huaiyuan asked people to pick up the head of Xie Zhouqing they brought back, sighed and said: "I'm still a step slower, after the city was broken, King Ji immediately went down from the north city wall and fled by boat, I led people to chase after him overnight, but in the end King Ji was able to escape, but I caught up with Xie Zhouqing who fled out of the city on the way and brought his head back!" ”

Everyone has also learned that King Ji was not caught, and they all regretted that they had arranged this battle quite tightly, but they didn't think about it or let King Ji escape from Huzhou City in the first time, although they won a big victory, but they still left regrets.

Hua Yue stepped out and said: "The general should not blame himself, King Ji is cunning, which is not something we can predict!" Now that Huzhou City has been recaptured, and the rebellion has essentially been quelled, as long as you immediately send people to search nearby, you must be able to capture King Ji soon! ”

Gao Huaiyuan sighed, nodded and said: "That's right, it can only be like this, check out, how many thieves have been arrested this time, Lord Zhong can immediately report to the court on behalf of the official, and report the situation of the battle of Huzhou to the court!" ”

This adult surnamed Zhong was completely convinced of Gao Huaiyuan at this time, and when he came to Huzhou City that day, Gao Huaiyuan spoke wildly, claiming that he would take Huzhou City within three days, and the surname Zhong was also slanderous, and he felt that Gao Huaiyuan was carried away by the victory of Hongjie Mountain, so he would say such arrogant words.

Now this is only the next day, Huzhou City was conquered by them, tens of thousands of rebels collapsed overnight, and most of them became their prisoners, this fact made the surname Zhong seem to be in a dream, and he wondered when their Song army could fight like this? If the Song army is like a holy army, then looking at the world, who are they afraid of in the Southern Song Dynasty!

So he hurriedly nodded in agreement, saying that he would immediately write a song to Lin'an City, but was immediately interrupted by Gao Huaiyuan and explained: "Please Lord Zhong wrote a point in the Song Jie Express by the way, although our army broke through Huzhou City this time and captured a large number of rebels, but most of these people were also bewitched by the rebels and did not cause a big disaster, and please be magnanimous and pardon these ordinary soldiers and civilians for their innocence, after all, these people are also the people of my Great Song Dynasty, only in this way can we win the hearts of the people of the world!" It is best not to go on a killing spree, it is best to only investigate the first evil, and let these ordinary soldiers and civilians go, so as not to make the common people complain and rebel again! ”

The surname Zhong has nothing to say to Gao Huaiyuan now, and immediately nodded and agreed after listening to it, in fact, in his opinion, this time he captured so many rebels, and it is estimated that there will be a slaughter in Huzhou City, at least these people who participated in the rebellion must be killed and bloody, but after listening to Gao Huaiyuan's advice, think about it, most of these soldiers are actually coerced or bewitched to participate in this rebellion, if they are all killed, it may not leave a notoriety of murder in today's saints, So he immediately agreed to Gao Huaiyuan's request.

After arranging this matter, Gao Huaiyuan inquired about some of the situation in Huzhou City, and ordered the troops not to disturb the people after completing the clearance and eliminating the traitors, and dispatched more soldiers and horses to go out of the city to search for the fleeing King Ji.

Just after he had just arranged these things, at this time, some of his guards ran in and told them that the minister of Qincha had come to Lin'an City, and he had entered the city to ask them to go out to greet them, saying that he wanted to summon them to be commended. Could it be that they came by plane? After a pause, he immediately thought that the ministers who came this time must have come to announce the commendation order because they had won a great victory in Hongjie Mountain a few days ago, but he didn't expect that before the first commendation order could be announced, they would conquer Huzhou City so quickly, so Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly brought the main generals and went out of the state government to connect these people sent by the imperial court who had just entered the city to the state government.

They wanted to issue an edict in the military camp outside the city to announce the court's encouragement, but they didn't expect that after they arrived outside the city, they learned that Huzhou City had been conquered by the army, and the rebels had been exterminated, which made them extremely shocked, so they hurriedly entered Huzhou City and came to find Gao Huaiyuan.

After Gao Huaiyuan led people to welcome the minister into the state government, he read out the encouragement to Gao Huaiyuan and others in the court, and handed over the holy decree to Gao Huaiyuan.

After Gao Huaiyuan and the others bowed and thanked him, he stood up, and at this time, he issued an edict and said with a wry smile: "Xiaguan originally thought that he could catch up with General Gao and how you attacked the city, but what I didn't expect was that after I arrived here, the rebellion had been quelled!" I didn't expect it, but it seems that this time the holy decree was sent a little late! I'm afraid that in a few days, the holy decree of encouragement for the tall man will come again! ”

Everyone also laughed when they heard this, and they all stepped forward to congratulate Gao Huaiyuan, Gao Huaiyuan waved his hand to invite Qin Cha to take a seat, arranged for someone to prepare some wine and food for these people to enjoy, and said with a smile: "Everyone don't congratulate me Gao!" You have gone out with Gao this time, it can be said that all the contributions are indispensable, although the reward for most people such as you has not yet come down, but I, Gao, will never lose the credit of the princes! Please help me to list the meritorious people in detail this time, and please be sure to reward the meritorious deeds! ”

The most feared thing of being a soldier is not to go into battle to fight, but to take all the credit of the official after the battle, and lose the credit of his subordinates, such things can be said to abound in history and even in the Song Dynasty, but Gao Huaiyuan said so in public, indicating that he will not follow those people to do such a despicable thing, so that the generals of the army who went to war this time were also overjoyed, so they secretly admired Gao Huaiyuan, and said in his heart that this General Gao seems to be a good person! At least no one will have any dissatisfaction with Gao Huaiyuan.

The news of the victory in the battle of Huzhou soon spread to Lin'an, but Zhao Yun and Shi Miyuan and others in Lin'an City were very happy, they never expected that Gao Huaiyuan actually suppressed the Huzhou rebellion in such a short period of time, and quelled the rebels gathered in Huzhou, and after the Huzhou rebels were destroyed, Jiaxing's palace front division of the right army was immediately killed by his officers, announced the return to the imperial court, and put the head of the rebel into a box and sent to Lin'an City, so that It can be said that this rebellion of King Zhao Hong has ended in complete failure.

This time in the battle of Huzhou, after a careful inventory in Gao Huaiyuan's army, all the important leaders involved in the rebellion were basically killed except for the temporary escape of King Ji Zhao Hong, although it was not a net catch, but in this case, it is estimated that it will be very difficult for King Ji to make a comeback.

So Zhao Yun and Shi Miyuan didn't care about other things, even if they sent a large number of messengers to spread the news of Huzhou's victory to the world, and spread the sea fishing documents in the Great Song Dynasty, announcing that King Ji was a traitor, requiring all parts of the country to arrest him, and hanging a heavy reward, as long as the king of Ji was captured, whether he lived or died, he would be given a reward for adding officials to the knighthood, and at the same time announced that all the titles of King Ji would be cancelled and demoted to commoners.

Whether it is Zhao Yun or Shi Miyuan, they can be said to be very satisfied with Gao Huaiyuan now, and the thing they are most afraid of is that because of Gao Huaiyuan's thunderous means, in such a short period of time, the change of Xiachuan will be swept away, so that the people of the Great Song Dynasty will not have a chance to fall to the side of King Ji and cause chaos in the world, which makes them finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

The annihilation of the Huzhou mutiny is undoubtedly a heavy blow to those who have a wait-and-see attitude, and it also makes people from all over the Great Song Dynasty understand a truth, the power is here in the Lin'an Imperial Court, and anyone who wants to take refuge in King Ji at this time is self-defeating, so for the stability of the situation in the Great Song Dynasty, the political significance has far exceeded Gao Huaiyuan's military exploits countless times, so that a very likely civil war was completely extinguished before it ignited.

After finishing these things, Zhao Yun and Shi Miyuan remembered the issue of rewarding Gao Huaiyuan and these generals, because they did not expect that Gao Huaiyuan would destroy the rebels in such a short time, and the last reward had only been issued for a few days, so they had to reconsider the issue of rewarding Gao Huaiyuan and them.
