It turns out that everything is premeditated, Shi Qing in the city, they have already colluded with the Song army outside the city, no wonder they said that they refused to go out of the city to attack the Song army during the day, it turned out that they were waiting for this time, he also understood the intention of the Song army to dig tunnels, the Song army did not plan to attack the city from the tunnel at all, but used gunpowder to blow up the city wall, no wonder the Song army has been attacking repeatedly in the past few days, everything is an illusion, that is, the people who are covering them secretly dig tunnels and bury gunpowder under the city wall!

Listening to the sound of the Song army shouting and killing outside the city, and listening to the shouting and killing sounds that sounded everywhere in the city, Li Quan was completely desperate, the Chuzhou City that he was trying to contain, could be said to be over at this time, and the soldiers in the city who were not his descendants had already rebelled at this time, and the walls of Chuzhou City had also collapsed, what else could he do?

This question did not bother Li Quan for long, he immediately changed his mind to go back to kill Shi Qing, without saying a word, he turned the horse's head, and immediately led some personal soldiers, rushed towards the north gate, along the way while gathering his soldiers and horses, while sending someone to inform Li Fu, so that Li Fu immediately led the soldiers who had not yet rebelled out of the west gate to retreat in the direction of Shuyang, and now the only place he can go is Shuyang, where there is still an elite army of him, although Fu Daquan is now leading the troops to attack Shuyang, but with the strength of his **, It shouldn't be much of a problem to repel Fu Daquan, and although Yancheng has Liu Qingfu leading nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, it is too far away, and God knows if the Song army will have an ambush on the road, so he can only retreat to Shuyang first, and then seek to make a comeback.

Li Quan is a hero in the end, knowing that this battle has been lost, but he will never hesitate for a moment, the strong man broke his wrist, and did not consider the matter of the Jedi counterattack at all, when the city was broken, without saying a word, without looking back, he led thousands of remnants of the defeated general, seized the north gate and rushed towards Shuyang.

The siege of Chuzhou City was declared over at dawn, Gao Huaiyuan didn't even get a knife or a shot, and when he entered the city, the war in the city was basically over, and there were only a few places left, and there were still a few Li Quan's diehards still resisting stubbornly, but under the more Song troops freeing up their hands to encircle and suppress them, they couldn't last long, and they were quickly wiped out.

The battle went very smoothly, because the city wall was suddenly blown up from the ground, Li Quan's defenders in the city suffered heavy casualties, and the morale was hit hard, plus Li Quan fled regardless of the door for the first time, the dragons in the city were leaderless, and they fought separately, plus the city's Shiqing Department and Yang Miaozhen's old department turned their guns in the city and aimed at Li Quan's department, so the battle of the Song army into the city was not too fierce, not to mention that Yang Miaozhen personally led the vanguard army into the city, chanting her name along the way, Ordered those northern troops who tried to intercept the Song army to abandon their weapons and surrender, and many northern troops who saw Yang Miaozhen immediately abandoned their weapons, knelt on the side of the road and gave up resistance, so that it was difficult for the Song army to kill happily, and soon after entering the city, they quickly controlled all the important places in Chuzhou City.

After the middle of the night, when the sky was bright, the battle in the city of Chuzhou was basically over, most of the northern army in the city chose to surrender, only Li Fu led a group of people to try to break through and escape, was blocked by Shi Qing's department, and was besieged by Yang Miaozhen's old troops surrounded on all sides, Li Fudang died in the chaos, his head was cut off and sent to Gao Huaiyuan.

It's a little regrettable that no one has seen Li Quan, and after interrogating a lot of surrendered troops, Gao Huaiyuan learned that Li Quan actually escaped from Chuzhou City with some soldiers and horses when the city was broken, so that the Song army had just entered the city from the west, and Li Quan had already gone out of the north gate Taozhi.

And the greatest meritorious service in this battle should be Yang Miaozhen, she led Huayue all the way into the city, and almost all the northern troops encountered in the place where they met surrendered on the spot, so that the Song army saved a lot of effort, followed by Wang Sanquan, because Wang Sanquan rescued the families of the generals in Li Quan's mansion in advance, relieved their worries, many of Li Quan's generals, most of them chose to defect at the last moment, but let the Song army generals have not made any great achievements, and easily controlled the entire city.

At noon on the day of the capture of Chuzhou City, a fast horse rushed into the city, and a messenger reported a news from Gao Huaiyuan, saying that they encountered the remnants of Li Quan who fled last night in the north of the city, about four or five thousand people, all the way to Shuyang, because they were a guerrilla army, and the strength was only less than five hundred, so they could not stop Li Quan, so that Li Quan broke through and ran away, and the general with the troops of this guerrilla army sent people back to the city to report to Gao Huaiyuan, and asked Gao Huaiyuan for his guilt.

But they are not without results, after all, when Li Quan fled last night, the soldiers and horses led by him were already panicked like lost dogs, and there was no fighting spirit at all, this partial general led his cavalry to chase and kill Li Quan for nearly 30 miles, and was stunned to kill more than 2,000 of Li's defeated soldiers, including more than 1,000 killed, captured more than 1,000 alive, Gao Huaiyuan listened to it, and did not blame this partial general, after asking them about their situation, he learned that this person was a subordinate under Huang Yan, and he was actually a subordinate of a Crouching Tiger Village that served with him in Xiangyang, So he gave him a credit and told them to gather their troops and come back to rest.

After Chuzhou City was taken, Li Quan can be said to have received a fatal blow, which reduced his forces sharply, and the whole situation became completely clear, although Li Quan had not yet been arrested, but there was not much time left before he was destroyed.

After taking Chuzhou City, Gao Huaiyuan immediately got busy with all fours, on the one hand, he wanted to open a warehouse to release grain and help the people in the city, and on the other hand, he also immediately sent troops to attack the counties and townships around Chuzhou City, and wiped out the remnants of Li Quan scattered around Chuzhou City, and also sent people to record the people who had made meritorious contributions in this battle, so as to prepare for the subsequent meritorious rewards, and also sent people to immediately return to Lin'an, and inform Zhao Yun of the news of Chuzhou's victory.

Two days later, the situation in Chuzhou City finally settled down, all the surrendered troops were taken to the ** city, and placed outside the city, for those who defected and surrendered, Gao Huaiyuan looked at them differently, met them one by one, appeased them, and immediately promised that he would ask for credit for them in front of the official family, and promised that they would not suffer losses, which made Shi Qing these generals of the Northern Army feel at ease.

But in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Gao Huaiyuan still temporarily canceled their right to lead the troops, and left them to rest in the city for the time being.

In private, Gao Huaiyuan met with Wang Sanquan in the city, and really praised him, making Wang Sanquan grateful, and vowed to continue to do things well, which made Wang Sanquan feel a pity that in order to disturb Chuzhou City, on the night of the city, they burned down the drunken immortal building in Chuzhou City, and I am afraid that they will not be able to open for business again in a short time.

And Gao Huaiyuan didn't care about this, because Wang Sanquan's identity has been exposed now, and it is not suitable to continue to stay in Chuzhou City to do things, and Gao Huaiyuan saw that Wang Sanquan was indeed a talent, so he simply found an official position in the army for him on the grounds that he had made great contributions, and left him in the army, which was regarded as an official for him in the future.

Wang Sanquan was very grateful, and after kneeling down again and again, he withdrew from the Shuaifu and was taken to serve in Huang Yan's army, because Huang Yan's loyal army was basically from Crouching Tiger Village, and it was convenient to let Wang Sanquan work under him.

As for other things, Gao Huaiyuan simply found some local gentry in the city to come forward, first act as an agent for local government affairs, Chuzhou has just suffered a great chaos, the city wall collapsed, and the houses were damaged, these things need to be dealt with, and it is obviously impossible for the military to deal with them alone, so Gao Huaiyuan ordered these gentry to come forward, first lead the people in the city, clean up the ruins in the city, and restore order in Chuzhou City as soon as possible, and the local officials will then rush here to take over these miscellaneous matters, His main focus was still on pursuing Li Quan's major event.

After Yang Miaozhen led the Song army to attack Chuzhou, he persuaded a lot of old troops to surrender, and cooperated with Gao Huaiyuan to appease these surrendered troops, but she was a woman after all, thinking of Li Quan's desperation, she was also disheartened and didn't want to care about Li Quan's affairs anymore, although Gao Huaiyuan had the heart to ask Yang Miaozhen to continue to persuade Li Quan's army to surrender, but Yang Miaozhen refused Gao Huaiyuan's invitation, saying that he wanted to stay and take care of his two sons, and only hoped that Gao Huaiyuan could properly settle their mother and son after killing Li Quan.

Gao Huaiyuan knew that Yang Miaozhen was in a bad mood now, so he didn't force it, and asked people to choose a clean house in the city, arrange for Yang Miaozhen's mother and son to live, and arrange guards to protect the safety of Yang Miaozhen's mother and son.

After Gao Huaiyuan dealt with these things, he summoned Hua Yue, Huang Yan and other important subordinates to discuss the next move, although Chuzhou City has been conquered, but at the moment they have a lot of trouble, the key problem is the more than 20,000 surrendered troops outside the city, how to deal with them, it is a rather thorny problem.

In the past, it was because the imperial court made a mistake in dealing with these rebels that Li Quan, these warlords, were in trouble in Jingdong, and if they didn't handle it well this time, I am afraid there would still be problems.

Gao Huaiyuan also thought about this matter for a lot of time, it is not enough to be dismissed alone, these people have no land and property, after they are dismissed, they have no way to live, and it will not be long before they will gather again and gather in the mountains and forests, either against the imperial court, or for the trouble, so only dismissing them is far from solving the problem.
