Sure enough, the next day, Li Quan led his headquarters to attack Songyang. As a result, it only took two days to capture Songyang County. After waiting for the horses to be stationed in the county government, Li Quan sent people to Jianning Mansion to report the victory, and on the other hand, he sent people to invite Shao Hongyuan into the county seat, and sent troops to greet each other on both sides of the county street.

Shao Hongyuan was ashamed and ashamed, but what could he do about Songyang captured by Li Quan, and when he saw Li Quan, he had to say: "Deputy Li is still a tiger general." ”

Li Quan laughed and said, "It's all thanks to Shao Du's reciprocal concession." ”

At this time, a new general order came from Jianning Mansion, and Zong Tianxuan praised Li Quan's merits and ordered the two to continue to attack Chuzhou. Suichang and Songyang were handed over to Liu Bao for guarding.

After receiving the order, Li Quan immediately led his army back to Suichang and prepared to attack Chuzhou. As soon as Li Quan left, Shao Hongyuan couldn't help but scold: "Li Quan is something, it's just a grass coward who has returned to the south, he is a thief who was born and can't be changed. ”

His son Shao Shiyong persuaded him on the side: "Dad, you are angry, why do you have to be like this kind of person, can he just rely on himself to fight?" This time to attack the state, let's go to Li Quan, and the Jin people are desperate, what else does he have to do to capture the state. ”

Three days later, Li Quan and Shao Hongyuan met under the city of Chuzhou, and the two decided to attack separately, with Li Quan attacking the west gate of Chuzhou and Shao Hongyuan attacking the south gate of Chuzhou.

After agreeing, Li Quan immediately mobilized men and horses to storm the city of Chuzhou.

However, the city of Chuzhou is the place where Chuzhou is governed, which is different from small county towns like Suichang and Songyang. The city walls are also much higher and thicker than those of Suichang and Songyang. Moreover, after the defeated army of Suichang and Songyang was contained in the city, there were more than 5,000 Jin troops and more than 10,000 troops, and the troops were also very strong.

In addition, Shao Hongyuan wanted to see Li Quan's jokes, and he didn't attack the city very hard, and he just made a show every day. It also enabled the Jin army to put the center of gravity of defense on the west gate. As a result, Li Quan stormed for three days and lost nearly 2,000 men and horses, but there was no progress. At this time, the reinforcements of the Jin army also arrived.

It turned out that after Zhao Kai ordered the attack on Chuzhou, Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe sent someone to inform the Jin army of the previous and subsequent events. After Yan Changzhi received the letter, he couldn't help crying and laughing. originally planned to provoke Zhao Kai and Zhao Chen to kill each other, but Na Zhi set himself on fire, and Zhao Kai was so incapable that he came to attack the Jin army.

Therefore, Yan Changzhi decided to give Zhao Kai a heavy blow this time, let Zhao Kai know the strength of the Jin army, and let Zhao Kai not dare to provoke the Jin army again in the future, but only dare to target Zhao Chen. Therefore, Guo Shrimp Toad and U Ting Tuochi, Gao Linfu led 1,000 Tiefutu and 4,000 light cavalry to aid Chuzhou.

After Li Quan learned that the reinforcements of the Jin army had arrived, he did not dare to continue the siege, so he immediately collected his troops, and rushed to Shao Hongyuan's camp to discuss with Shao Hongyuan and prepare to meet the Jin army.

Li Quanyi found out that the Jin army's reinforcements were only five or six thousand, although they were all cavalry, but his own and Shao Hongzhou's strength was six or seven times that of the Jin army, and there were Liu Bao's backers behind. Therefore, Li Quan advocated that the two should work together to defeat the reinforcements of the Jin army first, and then attack Chuzhou. At the same time, he also notified Liu Bao, who was stationed in Suichang, and asked him to immediately lead troops to respond.

In front of Li Quan, Shao Hongyuan was full of promises, and believed that he would fight to the death with the Jin army tomorrow. After receiving Shao Hongyuan's assurance, Li Quan immediately returned to his camp and prepared for a decisive battle with the Jin army.

The next day, Guo Shrimp Toad led the army to kill the city of Zhouzhou, at this time Shao Hongyuan's men and horses had not yet arrived, and Li Quan had to lead the army to attack first and start a fierce battle with the Jin army. Although the number of the Jin army is small, they are all elite people, and because it is a thousand iron floats, it is even more unstoppable, and it can only kill Li Quan's men and horses, and they can't resist it. Li Quan fought hard to meet the battle, and on the other hand, he sent people to urge Shao Hongyuan to quickly lead the army to help the battle. At this time, Shao Hongyuan had already withdrawn from the village and raised troops, regardless of Li Quan's life and death, and withdrew to Songyang.

After hearing the return, Li Quan was stunned with anger. But at this time, the guards in the state city saw Shao Hongyuan withdrawing his troops, and immediately led his army out of the city and attacked Li Quan with Guo Shrimp and Toad. At this time, Li Quan was even more unable to parry, and was defeated by the Jin army, so he had to fight and retreat, and led the army to retreat in the direction of Suichang. Thinking that Liu Bao would pick him up here. The two of them also have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Knowing that when Liu Bao took refuge in Zhao Kai, he had the intention of re-supporting his own forces, he originally only had three or four thousand remnants under his command, but now it has increased to 10,000 all at once, so he naturally does not want to consume this force again. Therefore, before sending troops, Liu Bao had already made a good proposition, if Li Quan and Shao Hongyuan won the battle in Chuzhou, he would naturally lead the army forward, add icing on the cake, and pick up a ready-made bargain. But as soon as he heard that Shao Hongyuan had run away and Li Quan was also defeated, he still dared to fight there, so he didn't even want Suichang, and immediately led the army to retreat to Pucheng to garrison.

After arriving in Suichang, he found that Liu Bao had also run away, only to make Li Quan's eyes black, and he had no choice but to lead the army to continue to retreat to Songxi. Fortunately, the Jin army did not chase hard, and immediately turned around and attacked Songyang instead.

Shao Hongyuan didn't expect Liu Bao to retreat, he had just arrived in Songyang, and before he could sit down, the Jin army was killed. Now that Li Quan and Liu Bao have retreated, Shao Hongyuan still dares to stay there, and runs away without saying a word. The Jin army successfully recaptured Songyang.

This time the process of rescuing Chuzhou was so smooth that even Guo Shrimp Toad was surprised, he thought that there would be a few fierce battles, but he knew that in addition to encountering a little decent resistance under the city of Chuzhou, but then the Song army was almost defeated and fled. If it weren't for Wan Yan Changzhi's prior order, the Song army should not be pushed too tightly, Guo Xitoad even thought that with his own 5,000 men and horses, he could fight to Fuzhou in one fell swoop.

It is precisely because of this that Shao Hongyuan escaped a way out and led his army to retreat to Shouning. This time, Zhao Kai dispatched an army of 50,000 troops, but returned defeated, and the biggest loss was Li Quan, who lost nearly 5,000 men. Shao Hongyuan also lost nearly 2,000 men and horses, only Liu Bao was the most clever, and he didn't fight a single battle, so not a single soldier was injured.

As a result, Li Quan naturally couldn't hold back this tone, and immediately reported the entire process of this march to Zhao Kai, demanding that Liu Bao and Shao Hongyuan be punished.

That knew that long before he went to the book, Liu Bao and Shao Hongyuan had already written to Zhao Kai, pushing their responsibilities away.

Liu Bao said: This defeat was completely due to the disadvantage of Shao Hongyuan and Li Quan, and the combined army of the two was several times that of the Jin army, but they were defeated by the Jin army, on the contrary, he led the army to garrison Suichang, met the defeated army, and fought fiercely with the Jin army for a night before repelling the Jin army, so that Shao Hongyuan and Li Quan could get out. Helplessly, Shao Hongyuan and Li Quan only cared about their own lives, leaving their own lone army to resist the Jin army in Suichang, because they were outnumbered, they had no choice but to retreat to Pucheng, so they were not guilty, and the guilty were Shao Hongyuan and Li Quan.

Shao Hongyuan said that the first battle of Chuzhou was completely due to Li Quan's greed for merit, and he had agreed to jointly send troops to meet the Jin army, but Li Quan fought with the Jin army without waiting for his own men and horses to arrive, and fled in defeat. And he resisted the Jin soldiers under the city of Chuzhou. It's just that it's hard to scream alone, so I have to retreat and retreat to Songyang. Knowing that Liu Bao and Li Quan had withdrawn from Suichang, leaving only their own lone army, they had to abandon Songyang and retreat to Shouning, and at the same time repelled the pursuers of the Jin soldiers and so on.

The Fuzhou Imperial Court lost the battle for the first time, which was enough to make Zhao Kai angry, and such three official documents were put on Zhao Kai's desk, which made his head even bigger, because looking at these three official documents alone, it seems that everyone has a reason, and Zhao Kai doesn't know which one of them should be believed, so he had to send back to Zong Tianxuan and ask who should bear the responsibility for this defeat.

Zong Tianxuan has always been in command of the overall situation in the Jianning Army, because the early march was relatively smooth, and he took Suichang and Songyang in one fell swoop, Zong Tianxuan was also very relieved, thinking that he could hand over to Zhao Kai, so he did not go to the front line to supervise the battle in person, but just wanted to find an excuse to collect the troops. But suddenly, the situation reversed, the Song army was defeated, and the captured Suichang and Songyang were all lost, which caught Zong Tianxuan a little unprepared, and he couldn't tell whose responsibility was for a while.

In fact, Shao Hongyuan and Liu Bao are not very clever in arguing for themselves, if it is Yang Yizhong, Li Xianzhong, Yang Yan, or Han Yanzhi, Chen Junqing can judge seven or eight points of truth from these three official documents, and know that Shao Hongyuan and Liu Bao are lying. But whether it is Zong Tianxuan or Zhao Kai, they lack practical experience, and Shao Hongyuan and Liu Bao also understand this, so they dare to speak out.

However, Zhao Kai asked Zong Tianxuan to deal with his opinions, but Zong Tianxuan couldn't hesitate, and he also begged in his heart, so he simply put all the responsibility for the defeat on the three of them, thinking that his pre-war plan was correct, so he took Suichang and Songyang as soon as he sent troops, and the later rout in Chuzhou was caused by these three people pushing each other's commissions, resulting in the delay of the fighters, and the responsibility for the defeat should be borne by the three of them. The size of the responsibility should be shared according to the respective losses.

After Zhao Kai heard this, he also thought that what Zong Tianxuan said was reasonable, and this punishment was more reasonable. As a result, Li Quan, who suffered the greatest loss of men and horses, was naturally the most responsible, and was demoted to the commander of the soldiers and horses of Jianning Prefecture, and Shao Hongyuan was also demoted to the defense envoy of Fuzhou, and Liu Bao, who did not lose anything in the people, escaped punishment.

Wang Shiyong took the opportunity to say to Zhao Kai again, don't attack the Jin army easily, it's better to find a way to seize the entire Fujian realm. This defeat also made Zhao Kai sober up a little, and he didn't dare to talk about marching again. However, it would be good to seize Zhao Chen's place instead, but Zhao Kai still couldn't make up his mind, because it was morally unjustifiable to do so.

And at this moment, news came that the Tianlin Mansion Imperial Court sent troops from Jiangbei and Jiangnan, so Zhao Kai decided to wait and see for a while before speaking.
