The death of Li Quan
This city almost never surrenders! In the long river of history, it has been repeatedly war-torn and slaughtered, but it will immediately stand up again in a stronger posture! It can be said that Yangzhou City has never been conquered! Whether it is the Er Zhao at this time, or Li Tingzhi and Jiang Cai at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty not long later, or Shi Kefa in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties...
Li Quan personally attacked the east gate and ordered his general Zhang You to shout at the city gate, "Please ask Zhao Kui to fight." Zhao Kui also went out of the city to fight. The two answered through the moat. Zhao Kui asked why Li Quan came. Li Quan said, "The court suspected me and did not send me food and salary. I came here not to betray me, but to ask for money and food." Zhao Kui said, "The court treated you loyal ministers and filial sons, but you turned against you to capture the city. The court then lost your money and food! Do you say you are not rebelling, are you bullying others? Or do you bully the heavens?" Li Quan was speechless, and even bent his bow and arrows, shot at Zhao Kui, but Zhao Kui flashed by.
Li Quan often threatened, "I don't want the prefectures and counties in Huainan. What I want is to cross the river and float across the sea and go straight to Su and Hangzhou. Who can stop me in the Southern Song Dynasty?" But at present, Li Quan has never deviated from his bandits' nature, and his ambition is to annex Yangzhou. So he followed the advice of his subordinate Zong Xiongwu, and built a long siege outside Yangzhou City, preparing to trap Yangzhou City and the Er Zhao brothers!
Li Quan, who surrounded Yangzhou, was playing music on the Pingshan Hall on the hillside beside the city from time to time. Zhang Gai played music and placed wine high. He seemed to be happy and chic, as if he was very happy every day. In fact, he was very upset. The city could not be attacked, and the food was gradually insufficient... And Er Zhao often rushed out suddenly, and he would make his army bleeding a lot at that time... What would happen if this happened?
This month, under the leadership of Yelu Chucai, Ogedei officially ordered the establishment of the ten routes to collect tax envoys: Chen Shike, Zhao Fang was the envoy of Yanjing; Liu Zhong, Liu Huan was the envoy of Xuande; Zhou Lihe, Wang Zhen was the envoy of Xijing; Lu Zhen, Liu Zizhen was the envoy of Taiyuan; Yang Jian, Gao Tingying was the envoy of Pingyang; Wang Jin, Jia Cong was the envoy of Zhending; Zhang Yu, Wang Rui was the envoy of Dongping; Wang Deheng, Hou Xian was the envoy of Beijing; Jia Guyong, Cheng Tai was the envoy of Pingzhou; Tian Muxi, Li Tianyi was the envoy of Jinan.
Yelu Chucai not only allowed Ogedei to accept the original economic life of the Central Plains, but also took the opportunity to instill the Confucianism of Zhou Gong and Confucius often quoted the famous saying that Lu Jia of the Western Han Dynasty to Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han, "You can win the world immediately, but you cannot rule the world immediately." Ogedei often followed Yelu Chucai's words.
This month, Mongolian soldiers attacked Tongguan at the junction of Tongzhou and Hedongnan Road and Hezhong Prefecture, and Languan at the junction of Jingzhao Prefecture and Shangzhou, but they were not able to overcome them. The Mongols could not understand: Could it be that the Mongols lost all their martial arts as soon as Genghis Khan died?
The one who lost all his martial arts was Ogedei! He was forced to return to his father's thinking. The iron-like fact made him sober! He was really not his father, and his father really didn't perfect the Mongolian Empire!
Genghis Khan had supreme power and was able to seize and take whatever he wanted within his clan. Ogedei was not allowed! He basically had only the right to recruit and do not have leadership for the Mongolian Empire, especially the army. This discount was very large, and the Mongol II Khan was very sad and hurt! Is he the master? As long as the action was not going well, his subordinates immediately forced him to return to the old path!
Therefore, Genghis Khan's last words were implemented!

Those who can capture and kill surrender will be rewarded with exceptions." Shi Miyuan asked Yuan Shao to recall all the troops and defend the capital Lin'an. Yuan Shao said, "If Yangzhou is lost, Jingkou will be no longer safe. Huai generals still have available, but they will recall them, but they will only be considered for the capital." So he refused to listen.

You can lead the army out of the pass and fight with the Weibei army. When the army heard this, they must go there. Shaoshu Fengxiang's urgent need."

Zhao Fan personally called the formation at the west gate of Tucheng, but Li Quan could not leave. Zhao Kui said to his brother, "Li Quan wanted to come to pursue me when I withdraw my troops. Now we are using the plan." He ordered Li Hu to set up an ambush and personally withdraw his troops to lure the enemy Li Quan indeed led thousands of bandit soldiers out.

Only then did Li Quan realize that he was deceived and was ready to run back to Tucheng. As soon as he arrived at Wengmen, the official army suddenly broke out, and the leader was Li Hu...
Li Quan was desperate and led dozens of cavalry to seize the road and fled north. In the north was Xintang! It was late winter, and after Xintang broke the water, the ground turned into a mud. On the surface, the dust was flying with war, which looked like hard land, but in fact the mud was several feet deep! So Li Quan and the dozens of cavalry all fell into the mud of Xintang, unable to extricate themselves. Zhao Bisheng and other officials had already chased here, and raised their spears to stab each other. Li Quan hurriedly shouted, "Don't kill me, I am the leader. As soon as these words came out, the spear was stabbed into him in a dense manner!

"It is common for victory or defeat, and it is better to make contributions and serve himself." So Ogedei enlisted Subutai into Tolei's army and followed it to the south.

Later, about those years, the official discussions, and the historical books regretted, saying how much the Southern Song Dynasty needed a solid and reliable barrier between Song and Meng! But is there really no barrier? Do you really need to endure humiliation and hope to protect the Jin Kingdom of the Jurchens? Looking at nearly one million Heshuo Rebels, the powerful combat power of the same race and bloodline was not used, but they tried to touch the hands of enemies covered with blood from their compatriots. What kind of brain is this? In a year, flesh and blood were flying everywhere. Before clearly smelling the bloody murderous aura of the barbarians in the north, they used all means to cut off their own people who had truly surrendered...
However, the Southern Song Dynasty court would not reflect like this at that time! They believed that Li Quan and even all the righteous army were cancerous! It took a year to lose their national strength and finally cut it off! It was a great blessing, a great pleasure! As for the Jin Dynasty, especially the Mongols, they were still far away legends...
Of course: Li Quan’s story is far from over! His son Li Quan will inherit his father’s career and launch a rebellion that is much larger than the Li Quan Rebellion!
In June, the surrendered general of the Jin Dynasty, Li Guochang, offered a plan to Tolei. "It has been twenty years since the Jin Dynasty moved its capital to Kaifeng, and only Tongguan and the Yellow River are relying on. If you use the Song Dynasty and go out to Baoji to invade Hanzhong, you can reach Tang and Deng in less than a month, and great things can be accomplished." This plan coincides with Genghis Khan's death plan to destroy Jin. Tolei immediately took Li Guochang to meet his third brother, the Mongolian Khan Ogedei.
