    Xiao Zhangliang and Jia Juxin looked back and saw the soldiers in charge of Gao Qiu's handsome flag following closely. He quickly shouted: "Throw the handsome flag quickly, the Liangshan bandits are chasing the handsome flag."

    Hearing this, Gao Qiu rolled his eyes and said to the small school commander in charge of the flag: "You run to the side road with the flag, I will take care of your family."

    Xiao Xiao couldn¡¯t help but look bitter, but when he saw Gao Qiu¡¯s sinister eyes, thinking that his family were all in Tokyo, he could only grit his teeth and run aside.

    Chao Yong led his own soldiers to kill the defeated troops, and chased for several miles before catching up with Gao Qiu's commander, but he saw that there was only a small school in front of him.

    Seeing Liangshan soldiers and horses chasing after them, the primary school student was so frightened that he threw away Gao Qiu's commander's flag and fled.

    Chao Yong couldn't see a small school, so he turned his horse's head and charged back. When he met Han Tianlin, a fleeing Tangzhou soldier, he hit the horse with a hammer.

    Chao Yong glanced at the boundless defeated troops and shouted: "Abandon your weapons and kneel down, otherwise you will be killed without mercy."

    Seeing that their general was knocked off his horse as soon as he came face to face with him, the defeated soldiers in the back didn't dare to struggle anymore. They all dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.

    "boom"

    An officer and soldier who was kneeling a little too slowly was hit by Chao Yong and flew into the air. A cloud of blood fell from the sky, and he was dead in sight.

    When the soldiers behind saw this, they no longer cared about whether there were stones or weapons on the ground, and fell to their knees directly.

    "Abandon your weapons and kneel down, otherwise you will be killed without mercy."

    "Abandon your weapons and kneel down, otherwise you will be killed without mercy."

    The soldiers shouted and followed Chao Yong galloping among the kneeling soldiers.

    Wherever Chao Yong went, officers and soldiers knelt down one after another, as if a sickle had been neatly harvested, and the crops suddenly became shorter.

    It turns out that after the rear army collapsed, the Daliang soldiers and horses divided into two groups to attack the left and right wings of the Song army. After Chao Yong chased for several miles, the two wings of soldiers and horses had already collapsed.

    When the other Liangshan leaders heard Chao Yong¡¯s cry, they no longer chased him blindly and forced their troops to surrender.

    The officers and soldiers were so shocked that they had been killed long ago. Those who could not run away fell to their knees one after another.

    It is said that Gao Qiu fled for more than ten miles before he dared to slow down his horse and take a breath. When he looked back and saw that there were only a few hundred horsemen left behind him, he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the Liangshan bandits were so powerful. One hundred thousand horses could be defeated in just one moment."  No more. The only solution for now is to return to Tokyo first and then mobilize troops to take revenge."

    Xiao Zhangliang and Jia Juxin said, "Don't be discouraged, Taiwei. This battle is just a small defeat. Liangshan's 20,000 soldiers and horses can kill many people. It's just that the soldiers and horses everywhere collapsed because they had no intention of fighting to the death. Your Excellency, you can retreat to Jeju to gather more troops."  It is not too late to defeat the Liangshan bandits after integrating their troops."

    Gao Qiu suddenly realized this and immediately asked a few generals to stay behind to collect the defeated troops. He first took Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong to Jeju.

    Zhang Shu was working in the Yamen at night. When he heard that Gao Qiu had brought hundreds of people back, he hurried out of the Yamen to greet them.

    Seeing the soldiers behind Gao Qiu abandoning their helmets and armor, Zhang Shuye couldn't figure out why a hundred thousand troops were defeated in half a day. He asked in astonishment: "Mr. Taiwei, could it be that he was ambushed by thieves?"

    Gao Qiu glared at Zhang Shuye and scolded: "When will it be your turn to talk too much about my affairs? Make room for me in the Yamen. I want to discuss military plans in the Yamen."

    Zhang Shuye saw that Gao Qiu didn't want to say more, and he didn't dare to ask again.

    Zhang Shuye finally borrowed a house with a wealthy man in the city for the state officials to work. He heard chaos on the street. When he hurried out to see, he saw that the city was full of defeated troops.

    A dozen soldiers gathered outside a hotel and shouted: "Asshole, our grandpas have just come off the battlefield, and we still haven't made room for them."

    The waiter in the store looked at the store full of defeated soldiers. The original customers had already run away in fear. How could he dare to discuss with the soldiers who came in front, so he could only stay with him in a low voice.

    "Snapped"

    A soldier came up and slapped him in the face, scolding: "If you don't make a table for grandpas today, grandpa will chop you."

    When Zhang Shuye saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "How shameless, you don't dare to fight with the Liangshan bandits, but you take it out on the people, and you are in vain to serve as the imperial army of the Song Dynasty."

    "Hey, where did it come from"

    "There are still people looking for trouble."

    The soldiers turned around with a strange look and saw Zhang Shuye in purple official uniform, and quickly shut up.

    Uncle Zhang chased them away at night and rushed to the Yamen to ask to see Gao Qiu.

    Gao Qiu heard that Zhang Shuye came to visit him again, and he couldn't help but said impatiently: "Tell him that I am busy with military affairs and will not see guests."

    "Little Zhang Liang and Jia Juxin said, "Sir, wait a minute. I heard that Zhang Shuye has many military exploits in the west. Why not invite him to discuss countermeasures?"

    Although Gao Qiu was at odds with the upright Zhang Shuye, he did not doubt Zhang Shuye¡¯s talent.Yes, after hearing this, he nodded and asked someone to bring Zhang Shuye in.

    Before Zhang Shuye was transferred to the magistrate, he was the Minister of Rites, with an official rank of the third rank, while Gao Qiu was the commander in front of the palace, with a rank of second rank, but it was just the customary title of Taiwei for the chief of the Palace Commander's Mansion.

    Although the official positions are similar, the difference in human rights and status between the two is huge, and the degree of favor they receive from the emperor is also very different.

    Zhang Shu came in at night and met Gao Qiu with the courtesy of a lower official.

    Gao Qiu wanted Zhang Shuye to make suggestions, so he no longer acted as unruly as before. He nodded and said, "Why are you here, Mr. Zhang?"

    Zhang Shuye said: "After the defeated troops entered the city, they harassed the people everywhere. I am afraid that some people will be killed. Please give me an order to restrain the defeated troops. Moreover, the military camp in the city can only accommodate 10,000 people at most. I am afraid that it cannot accommodate all the soldiers and horses.  Please order them to camp outside the city."

    Gao Qiu frowned and said, "We have just suffered a defeat. If we drive them out of the city, if they all escape, who will I take to wipe out the Liangshan bandits?"

    Zhang Shuye heard the words and said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, just ask the officers to supervise them. Besides, they all have tattoos. They dare to disperse, but they will never dare to become deserters. If they are allowed to continue making trouble like this in the city, I'm afraid it won't take long  , there will be conflicts, and maybe there will be fighting between soldiers and horses. "

    While he was talking, one of Gao Qiu's soldiers ran in and reported: "My lord, something is wrong. The soldiers and horses of Chenzhou and the soldiers and horses of Zhangzhou are fighting at the gate of the city."

    Gao Qiu was stunned and said: "Why did the fight start?"

    "It is said that two people fought over a girl in a brothel and got into a fight. After that, their colleagues continued to join in, and the matter became more and more serious. Now there are always thousands of people fighting at the city gate, and the defeated soldiers gathered behind can only  Go around to other city gates and come in."

    Gao Qiu heard that it was because of a fight between a brothel girl and he couldn't help but became furious and said: "Bastard, bastard, Dang Shiying, you lead a team of soldiers and horses to arrest everyone involved in the fight. I will deal with them strictly."

    Hearing this, Zhang Shuye hurriedly said: "No, sir, we have just returned from a great defeat, and people are in panic. If we arrest thousands of people at once, I am afraid it will trigger a mutiny."

    When Gao Qiu heard about the mutiny, his expression changed drastically and he said, "What should we do?"

    Zhang Shuye said: "Only arrest the two people who started the fight, if they are still alive. If they die, my lord will pardon the others and let all the soldiers and horses go out of the city to station, otherwise there may be another fight."

    Gao Qiu had no idea at this time, so he asked his soldiers to follow Zhang Shuye's instructions.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
