South of Huaishui, the eastern border of the Great Song Dynasty, Chuzhou.

In the 11th year of Song Shaoxing, in 1141 AD, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin two kingdoms formally negotiated peace, and the border line between the two sides reached the Huai River in the east and the Dasanguan line in the west, and the Southern Song Dynasty in the south of the boundary line and the Jin State in the north of the border line. Chuzhou, located at the confluence of the Huai River and the Grand Canal, is undoubtedly an important town in the eastern part of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the tenth year of Jiading (1217), Jin Xuanzong declared war on Song on the grounds that Song did not accept coins, and the Song and Jin wars started again. Song Ningzong issued an edict to cut down Jin, and turned to actively recruit people from the north to establish the "Loyal and Righteous Army".

In the eleventh year of Jiading (1218), the Song court officially appointed Li Quan, the leader of the attached rebel army, as the deputy governor of Jingdong Road.

In view of the rise of the Mongols and the increasing decline of the Jin Dynasty, the Song and Jin Dynasty promoted peace, but aroused the suspicion of the loyal and righteous people.

Li Quan was attached to the Song Dynasty, made countless meritorious contributions to the anti-Jin Dynasty, and annexed various righteous forces, leading the Xuanzhi and Baoning military festivals. However, the Song court called the Northern Anti-Jin Righteous Army attached to the Song Dynasty the "Northern Army", and although it gave them official titles, it only used them to resist the Jin Dynasty and carried out a policy of division and suppression. From the very beginning, the two sides were separated from Germany, which also made Li Quan an inevitable warlord who supported his army and stood on his own feet and wandered between the Song and Jin dynasties.

Since Li Quanxiong settled in Huaishui, Huaidong Chuzhou has been Li Quan's sphere of influence, Li Quanxiong lives in Qingzhou, Shandong Province, Huaibei, and his wife Yang Miaozhen is stationed in Huainan Chuzhou. The husband and wife looked at each other from afar across the water, and they were horns for each other.

In the city of Chuzhou, there were not only officials of the Song court, but also Yang Miaozhen, a warlord under the name of the Song court, who was entrenched. The reason for this is nothing more than the situation.

In the third year of Song Xingqing, Li Quan was besieged by the Mongol army in Qingzhou for a year. During this period, it was rumored that Li Quan was dead, and Song Huaidong, who replaced Xu Xiji, made Liu Xuan want to take the opportunity to eliminate Yang Miaozhen's troops stationed in Chuzhou, but was surrounded by soldiers in Zhouzhi, Liu Xuan came out of the city in the middle of the night and fled to Yangzhou alone. After driving Liu Qi away, Yang Miaozhen basically controlled Chuzhou.

Although Liu Chu was expelled from the Huaidong system, Yao Chong, the governor of Chuzhou, still sat in the state and ruled Chuzhou with Yang Miaozhen.

Nominally, Chuzhou was still under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Quan was besieged in Qingzhou, his life and death are unknown, and Yang Miaozhen's department in Chuzhou is also a floating military spirit. During this period, rumors were spreading, saying that Li Quan was dead, and the Great Song Dynasty court was dissatisfied with Li Quan in Chuzhou and wanted to cut off all of Li's food supply.

The reason why Li Quanquan was able to live happily in Chuzhou was all due to the food supply of the Song court. Once the Song court cut off the grain and grass, and Li Quan was silent, then Li Quanquan in Chuzhou could only sit and wait to die.

Under the rumors, the people in the border city of Chuzhou were panicked, and the undercurrent was surging, just like the silence before the storm, which was suffocating.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the Zhizhou Yamen in the city of Chuzhou, Yao Chong, the governor of Chuzhou, sat in the main hall, his face pale. Although he forced himself to calm down, his trembling hands still revealed the panic in his heart at the moment.

A bloody human head was placed on the table in front of him, making his heart beat and almost incontinent.

"Yao Xianggong, this is the head of the rebel general Liu Qingfu. Please make it clear to the imperial court that the salary will be distributed as soon as possible, so that the soldiers can rest assured. ”

The tall and coarse black man who spoke in the hall was Li Quan's second brother Li Fu.

Li Fu and Liu Qingfu were stationed in Chuzhou, both of them were arrogant and violent, they were already at odds, they were suspicious of each other for a long time, and the contradictions were deepening. Li Fu killed Liu Qingfu and sent his head to see Yao Chong, the governor of Chuzhou, for the purpose of urging him to pay his salary early.

Earlier, the Song court used Xu Guo as an envoy to appease Huaidong, and he was unfair, and Li Quan was determined to get rid of Xu Guo. Liu Qingfu killed Xu Guo's dependents, and stabbed Xu Guo's staff Zhang Mengxian, set fire to the official mansion, and all his savings were seized by the rebels.

Li Fu killed Liu Qingfu, which seemed to be asking Yao Chong for guilt and allocating food and salary, but in fact, it also had some meaning of communiqué personal vendetta.

When the catastrophe came, they flew separately, the army was unstable, and these generals of the rebel army with different minds were also thinking of ghosts and looking for a way back for themselves.

Li ...... General, Imperial Court and ...... There was no interruption of money and food...... Supply, you can rest assured. ”

Yao Chong's lips trembled, and he said in a trembling voice.

Coming to this troubled Biansai to be an official, dealing with these arrogant soldiers all day long, his luck as a dignified doctor is terrible.

"Yao Xianggong, Liu Qingfu killed important ministers of the court and raised troops to make rebellion, and his subordinates have corrected him. Now that Liu Quanfu is dead, we will faithfully work for the court and guard the border. Please also ask the prime minister to play the court and reward his subordinates, so as not to complain again! ”

Li Fu's face was full of flesh, fierce and vicious, and he didn't smile at his skin, which made Yao Chong even more flustered.

"Definitely! This official will write to the court and allocate food and salary for the general! ”

Yao Chong nodded again and again, forcing a smile.

If he doesn't agree, I'm afraid that his hundred pounds of old bones will be left in this desolate land of Chuzhou.

"Then thank you Yao Xianggong!"

Li Fu smiled and saluted with his fists.

This merry old man, sure enough, was a little frightened, and he was already six gods and no owner.

It seems that the money and food of the loyal and righteous army can be distributed in full.

"General, Liu Qingfu's troops are gathering in Beicheng, and it seems that they want to attack our military camp!"

A soldier with a red scarf on his head came in and reported the military situation to Li Fuyu, but he didn't look at Yao Chong, a member of the Great Song Dynasty.

"These bastards, see if Lao Tzu doesn't destroy them!"

Li Fu hugged his fists at Yao Chong, full of pride.

"Yao Xianggong, wait for me to kill these traitors, and turn around to ask Yao Xianggong for credit!"

After Li Fu finished speaking, he waved his hand and led the soldiers to stride away.

"Finally gone!"

Yao Chong was relieved, leaned back in his chair, and immediately screamed in horror when he saw the head on the table.

"Someone! Get this thing away! Hurry up! ”

The next man came up and took the head out in a panic.

After a while, his mood stabilized a little, and Yao Chong called in at the door again.

"Yao Da, go and see what the situation is outside the city, come and report quickly! Go and come back quickly! ”

Yao Da went out, and after a while, he ran back, panting and reporting.

"Xianggong, the fierce battle outside the city is in full swing, it seems that it will not end in a while and a half!"

Seeing Yao Chong's eyes sweeping over, the entourage hurriedly cautiously stepped forward and said.

"What's going on? Could it be that the old man is going to die in this Chuzhou City? ”

Yao Chong's face was pale, and his heart was beating again.

"Yao Da, what do you think we should do?"

"Xianggong, in the opinion of the villain, taking advantage of the infighting among these arrogant soldiers, Xianggong should leave quickly. Otherwise, be careful of your life! ”

Yao Da whispered, his face bloodless.

The bloody battle outside the city had already scared his dog's guts.

"Yao Da, you're right. Hurry up and pack up, and we'll leave at once. Remember, don't alarm those two small-footed women, or no one will escape. Just go! ”

Yao Chong said in a low voice, his eyes fierce.

"Yes! Messire! ”

Yao Da was shocked. In order to escape for his life, the master didn't even bring the two beautiful concubines.

"It's come to this, it's important to save your life. What thunder and rain dew, I'll talk about it later. ”

Yao Chong looked at the dark night sky and hurriedly spoke.

Li Quan, these tiger and wolf disciples, were unruly and stayed in Chuzhou City, not knowing which day they would lose their heads. Or run south overnight, it is important to save this old life.

What country, nation, court affairs, go to Thanian's!

On the wilderness outside the northern city of Chuzhou, torches were blazing, hundreds of people were in chaos, and the sound of fighting shook the sky.

Li Fubu and Liu Qingfu of the Loyal and Righteous Army are meeting each other with swords and fighting a fierce battle.

"Kill Li Fu, the dog thief, and avenge Brother Liu!"

"Hack these shitty shitty shit! Dare to go against Lao Tzu! ”

Both sides are outlaws who lick blood with knives, and now it is rumored that Li Quan is dead, the dragons have no leader, and they have no scruples, evil is born from the side of the guts, and they will fight if they don't agree with each other, without mercy, everyone is a bloodthirsty maniac, and in an instant, flesh and blood are flying, people are turning on their backs, and screaming again and again.

"Stop! Stop! ”

Several horses rushed into the killing field, and the knight on the horse was fierce and brave, shouting loudly, and the first person was Yiran, a handsome woman with tall legs and long legs.

This person is the wife of Li Quan, the Shandong Loyal and Righteous Army, Yang Miaozhen, who is in the important town of Chuzhou and is respected as "Entang" by his subordinates.

"Stop! Cannibalism again, military law disposal! ”

Yang Miaozhen beat the horse and walked, shouting loudly, the horse whip was pumped wildly, and the fighting sergeants were disgraced and stopped.

"Xingde, Zhang Lin, what are you going to do? Why attack Li Fu's barracks? Crazy? ”

Yang Miaozhen reined in the war horse, her face was pale, and she asked angrily.

Since the loyal and righteous army took root on both sides of the Huaishui, it has been torn between the forces of the Song, Jin, and Mongolian dynasties, treading on thin ice, trembling, and in a difficult situation. It's good now, my own people have started to fight among themselves.

"Entang, Li Fu killed Liu Qingfu for no reason, why did he? The general of our loyal army, the court did not dare to kill him, but let him Li Fu kill him! Is there any reason for this? ”

Xing De, who was dark and fierce, also roared angrily.

Looking at the bloodstained long knife in his hand, it was obvious that there was no less killing.

"That is, why did you kill Liu Qingfu for no reason? Entang, you have to give us an explanation! ”

The tall and mighty Zhang Lin dripping blood from his knife head and roaring loudly.

Although the crowd was raging, the generals were still very convinced of Yang Miaozhen, and they all stopped fighting.

"What?"

Yang Miaozhen's face was full of shock, and she almost didn't believe her ears.

Li Fu, the brother of her husband Li Quan, had an internal conflict with her husband's general Liu Qingfu and killed Liu Qingfu.

Does he know what he's doing?

"Second brother, why did you kill Liu Qingfu? Aren't you killing each other? ”

Yang Miaozhen looked at Li Fu, who didn't care, her husband's second brother, and her heart was half cold.

Greedy and ruthless, a pig teammate. This time, there was another incident of killing a general, isn't this the pleasure of relatives and haters?

Li Quan's life and death in Shandong were uncertain, and there was infighting in Huaidong again. Under the storm, the loyal army will be finished sooner or later.
