'''Li Quan''' ([[Simplified Chinese]]:李全; ?-1231 AD) was a Chinese general who served in the [[Jin dynasty (1115–1234)|Jin dynasty]]. Li Quan led the red-coat army, a group of nominally Song loyal bandits turned rebels operating in the Jin China territory during the Mongol invasion. He eventually took command of Shangdong and played all three sides against each other, turning against the Song and joining the Mongols. He was subsequently killed during fighting Yangzhou. His wife Yang Miaozhen subsequently took control of his forces, retreated to Shangdong, and with the blessings of Mongols transferred control of Shangdong and Quan's former forces to their son Tan.[3]
