Li Yanqing immediately divided his troops into two groups. He ordered Wang Gui to lead 10,000 troops to Wuxian County, Suzhou to seize the armed warehouse. He himself led 10,000 troops north to prepare to face the army that went south.

This army of more than 6,000 people was the army led by Wu'an City. He originally had 10,000 subordinates, but when he retreated, he finally brought out only more than 6,000 people. However, even for these more than 6,000 people, Wu'an City had no way to go. He either took a detour to Hangzhou, but Jiangnan had been controlled by three major relatives. He offended Xiang Fa, and going to Hangzhou was a dead end.

In fact, Wu'ancheng also knew in his heart that he could only lead his troops to surrender to Li Yanqing to see if the court could alleviate his crime of participating in rebellion in the end.

Wu'an City led its army southward. At this time, a team of scout cavalry rushed to the opposite side, stopped and ran several miles away, observing itself from afar. Wu'an City urgently ordered several subordinates to negotiate. The two sides talked for a moment, and more than a dozen scout cavalry turned their horses and ran south.

At this time, the 10,000 troops led by Li Yanqing had stopped advancing ten miles north of Wuxi County. In the distance, a team of scouts rushed to Li Yanqing. The head of the scouts rushed to Li Yanqing and said, "Report to the commander, we have contacted each other. The commander is Wu'ancheng, the general of Liu Yanqing, because Xiangfa designed to kill Liu Yanqing, Wu'ancheng led his troops south to surrender to the commander!"

Liu Yanqing was screaming in surprise next to him, with a look of pain in his eyes. Liu Yanqing was his family elder. Although Liu Yanqing was loyal to the three major relatives, Liu Xia despised him, the news of his uncle's murder still made him very sad.

Li Yanqing patted his shoulder and asked, "Who is this Wu'an City?"

Liu Qi restrained his anger and said to Li Yanqing: "This eldest sister in Wu'an City is my uncle's concubine. He himself is a general of the Western Army. He was once the envoy of Suide's army and was also the general of Zhong Shuai. Later, he followed my uncle to surrender to Gao Qiu. He was quite upright, but he had a little fame and fortune."

"How capable is he?"

"It's right between being a humble position."

Li Yanqing nodded and said to the scouts: "Go and tell Wu'an City that if you have the sincerity to surrender, please put down your weapons and armor and put your armor at least one mile away, so that I can accept their surrender."

"Abide by the order!"

The scout turned his horse's head and ran north again. Liu Qi hurriedly said to Li Yanqing: "Let Bei Zhi contact him!"

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said, "You can lead 5,000 people to come, and I will lead the army to support you from behind."

Although he was at least 60% sure that the other party was coming to surrender, Li Yanqing still did not dare to be careless, especially Liu Yanqing was famous for his arbitrary fraud in the Western Army, and he had to take sufficient measures to prevent accidents.

But things went very smoothly. Wu'an City ordered the soldiers to take off their armor and put down their weapons. The entire army was concentrated one mile away. At this time, Liu Qi led his army to arrive. He ordered his brother Liu Tie to lead two thousand soldiers to confiscate the armor piled up like a hill, and he himself led three thousand people to slowly approach the army in Wu'an City.

"God of the general, are you okay?" Liu Qi urged his horse to step forward and shouted slowly.

Wu'an City is about 40 years old, ten years older than Liu Ya. He is slightly older in the military than Liu Ya. However, now Liu Ya has accumulated merits and promoted to General Yunhui and Marquis of Zhongyong. Wu'an City is still General Dingyuan of the fifth rank, and he has no title. He was also devastated by the attack on Liao and was dismissed from office and removed from office. He was only barely restored to a fifth rank military general last year.

Wu'an City recognized Liu Qi, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and stepped forward and said, "It turns out to be Liu Xianxian, I haven't seen him for many years!"

Liu Qi nodded, "General Wu, I heard that something happened to my uncle?"

Wu'an City sighed and said in resentment: "Your uncle and I were deceived by the Xiang family and led our army to join the army of kings. Later, I heard that the official family was kidnapped by the Jin people. We supported the establishment of Xin Chu as emperor. Unexpectedly, two days ago, we heard that His Highness Kang had ascended the throne. We knew that we had been deceived by the Xiang family. Mr. Liu repeatedly wanted to withdraw from the battle with the court, but was taboo by the Xiang family. Today, Mr. Liu was deceived by Xiangfa and killed the army. I led some of the troops to escape and surrender to the Taiwei Li!"

Liu Qi looked back at the distance to prevent soldiers and armor. He saw his brother Liu Tie gestured to him, indicating that the soldiers and armor had been stored. He said in a deep voice: "General Wu is willing to return to the court. We welcome him, but the ugly words are ahead. If General Wu has ulterior motives, don't blame me for not missing the old love!"

Wu'an City said it was not daring, and Liu Qi immediately fired three gunpowder arrows, which flew into the air and exploded in the "bang!". This was to inform the head coach Li Yanqing to come and accept the surrender.

Soon, Li Yanqing led the army to come slowly. Wu'an City turned over and dismounted, quickly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, "I am not willing to serve the rebels, so I came to serve the Taiwei and beg the Taiwei to include it!"

Li Yanqing nodded, "I know how to return when I am lost, but when I turn back, I will welcome generals to join the army to quell the rebellion, make new contributions, and win the wife of Feng Yin!"

"The humble position will never disappoint the Grand Marshal!"

Li Yanqing temporarily ordered Liu Qi to command the army of Wu'an City to go back, but he led Wu'an City to rush to Suzhou first.

Generally speaking, the surrendered generals could no longer command their old subordinates, at least not allowed before the end of the war. This was mainly to prevent fraudulent surrender. Wu'an City also knew this, so he had no doubts and followed Li Yanqing south honestly.

At noon the next day, Li Yanqing led his army to Wuxian, Suzhou Prefecture. In the war to suppress Fangla's rebellion, Suzhou became a logistics center for officers and soldiers. Tong Guan built more than a dozen huge grain and grass warehouses and armaments outside the southern city. Although the official army took away most of the grain and grass and military armor when retreating north, a large amount of spoils later filled the warehouse again. Some of these spoils were transported back to the capital, part of which was used to equip the army of various states, and some of the less-quality soldiers and armor were piled up in the warehouse and no one cared for them.

Li Yanqing walked into the temporary military camp. This military camp had stationed 80,000 troops, covering a very vast area. In the huge school ground, 20,000 new troops were training gunshots and shouting. More than a hundred cavalrymen were holding whips in their hands to supervise the training of soldiers.

"Why are all leather armor?" Li Yanqing found that the soldiers were all wearing leather armor and frowned.

Wang Gui explained on the side: "The best mountain pattern armor and black hammer armor are gone, only three thousand pairs of iron armor are left, and there are tens of thousands of pairs of leather armor. Select elite soldiers to wear iron armor, and other soldiers can only wear leather armor."

"What about the weapons? Are they enough?" Li Yanqing asked again.

"Weapons are enough. There are 60,000 spears, 500,000 arrows, 10,000 bows, 30,000 battle knives and 5,000 tents in the warehouse. The only pity is that there are no crossbows, neither ordinary military crossbow nor divine arm crossbows."

Speaking of this, Wang Gui whispered again: "I heard that there are only three thousand garrisons left in Qiantang County, Hangzhou. Beizhi suggested that a surprise soldier be used to capture Qiantang County and capture the three major relatives of the foreign country, and their army would naturally collapse."

Li Yanqing shook his head, "The attack on Hangzhou has a great impact, and most of the powerful are concentrated in Hangzhou. Attacking Hangzhou will have some unexpected consequences."

Wang Gui nodded silently. He knew that although Li Yanqing's father Li Daqi was in Ezhou, the Cao family had more than a hundred people in Hangzhou, so Li Yanqing should try his best to avoid fighting in Hangzhou.

Wang Gui suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile: "I don't know if Cao Meng's army has crossed the Yangtze River?"

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "From time, it should be almost done. We will wait for two more days to decide the outcome with the other party!"

There are dense ships on the Yangtze River. Hundreds of naval warships from Ezhou cruising on the river surface. Three thousand tugboats are carrying 6,000 cavalry across the river. Most of the tugboats are 100 stone ships. One can transport more than ten soldiers across the river, but the cavalry covers a large area. One ship can only transport two cavalry and two war horses. However, due to the large number, cavalry can basically be sent ashore in one trip.

On the south bank of Runzhou Yangtze River, ferries were slowly docking. When the wooden boards were placed on land, the cavalry on the ferry led their war horses to the south bank and quickly assembled on the shore.

The six thousand cavalry were also Jingzhao Army, led by generals Cao Meng and Gao Chong. Soon, all the six thousand cavalry arrived at the south bank and quickly assembled. Cao Meng shouted, and the six thousand cavalry rushed south along the official road like a torrent.
