Jianghuai also has Li Zitong, Zuo Caixiang, Shen Faxing, and now Wang Shichong has arrived, and it has suddenly become lively.

Zuo Caixiang traveled to Huaibei, Li Zitong occupied Hailing with tens of thousands of troops, Shen Faxing occupied Wu Commandery, and Wang Shichong suffered the worst. For a while, he didn't know who to attack. He was stationed in Nanyang and did not dare to advance.

Among these people, Chen Leng had neither ambition nor strength. No one attacked him, so he just stayed in Jiangdu with peace of mind and lived day by day. Anyway, the Tu Emperor was doing a good job.

Du Fuwei and Li Zitong were mortal enemies. In the eleventh year of Daye, Li Zitong led more than 10,000 troops to Huainan to join Du Fuwei. When Li Zitong raised his army, he was attached to Zuo Caixiang in Changbai Mountain. Later, because he was too popular, he Being jealous of Zuo Caixiang, he had no choice but to leave Changbai Mountain. This trip to Huainan was actually a bit of a flight. The addition of Li Zitong's troops strengthened Du Fuwei's power. Of course Du Fuwei was happy, but unexpectedly Li Zitong was also a man with great ambitions who refused to give in to others. The people under Li Zitong suddenly mutinied and attempted to annex Du Fuwei's territory. Du Fuwei was caught off guard and the whole army was in chaos. Du Fuwei himself was seriously injured under Li Zitong's pursuit. At the critical moment, Du Fuwei's adopted son (Du Zai) He selected strong men from the army and adopted him as his adopted son. There were more than 30 of them. General Wang Xiongdan carried him on his back and hid in the reeds, and luckily escaped pursuit.

Shen Faxing is also a person who is unwilling to be lonely, but his strength has always been limited. He dare not fight against big forces, and he cannot fight against small forces.

The worst Wang Shichong, although he still had 20,000 elite soldiers and 3,000 cavalry, he didn't want to stay in Nanyang at all, because Li Shimin might attack the city at any time.

Zou Yu got the news from Luoyang. He already knew it. He scolded him countless times in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to go back and ask for it. What made him most angry was that he felt abandoned. Dou Jiande stopped supporting him and went south. The road was densely packed with forces, large and small. If it were in the past, even Du Fuwei would have to give face if he wanted to pass by. But now! No one is willing to let him pass. Firstly, they are worried that he will suddenly attack and seize their territory. Secondly, I don't want another prince to appear in the south. You, Wang Shichong, are still there. You can at least resist Li Shimin.

But Wang Shichong had to choose his target. After all, no one who became emperor would be willing to submit to others.

Duan Da and others, half coerced and half helpless, also followed to Nanyang. What disappointed Wang Shichong most was that there were not many generals under his command now, and the most capable one was Shan Xiongxin. After Xie Yingdeng escorted him to break out, Just left.

"The strongest forces in the Jianghuai area are undoubtedly Li Zitong and Du Fuwei. I think it's best to avoid their sharp edges!" Shan Xiongxin suggested.

"It's best to unite with one party and attack the others." Duan Da said.

"Du Fuwei rejected Yu Wenhuaji's official position back then, and now he is the King of Chu, the general manager of Southeast Road. I'm afraid he will not form an alliance with His Majesty." Changsun Anshi reminded.

Duan Da and the eldest grandson Anshi are both old foxes who have survived many years of imperial struggle. Their analysis is very thorough. What they mean is that if Wang Shichong killed Yang Tong, Du Fuwei will definitely not look good on you.

Wang Shichong understood this truth, so he naturally looked at the other people.

"Father, you have forgotten that there are Xu Yuanlang and Zhu Can. Just mix the water completely and drag these two people into the war together." Wang Xuanying suggested.

"That's right! Your Majesty, the prince's words are right. Jianghuai is a prosperous land. As long as they are promised huge profits, these two people will definitely be tempted." Duan Da agreed.

"In this case, why not play a bigger role. Zuo Xiangcai and Li Zitong are all young people. Your Majesty organized them together and took the opportunity to conquer all the land south of the Yangtze River." A flash of light flashed in the eyes of Changsun Anshi.

, said in a gloomy tone.

"This is a wonderful plan! Let's kill Jiangnan and turn the whole country upside down, and then we can compete with Li Yuan again!" Wang Shichong's spirit was lifted, and he said firmly after many days of decadence.

Wang Shichong originally had the spirit of fighting against repeated defeats, and his strength is still there, which is much better than when he started, so naturally he will not give up.

As for the people who followed him, they were also people who were unwilling to be inferior to others or had no other way to go. Of course, they supported him even more in continuing to fight for hegemony.

Wang Shichong was so eager to leave, mainly because of Li Yuan. The Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi brothers who were originally controlled by him, after completely surrendering to Li Yuan, naturally wanted to explode the grievances they had suffered in the past. Just because Li Yuan wanted to mess with Wang Shichong, who let Zou

Yu occupied Luoyang.

In Li Yuan's view, Luoyang was given to Zou Yu by Wang Shichong, which reduced his gains from attacking Wang Shichong by more than half, so he directed his anger at Wang Shichong.

The Wu brothers had just surrendered, and he could not take advantage of others' military power, so he agreed to Wu Yunzhao's plan to hunt down Wang Shichong.

Wu Yunzhao mobilized his troops and actively trained his troops. Of course, he was discovered by Wang Shichong, who paid close attention to Li Yuan in Guanzhong. He knew with his toes that he was either beating Dou Jiande or himself.

He knew how powerful the Wu brothers were. Currently, only Shan Xiongxin could fight with them. However, there were two Wu brothers, plus the fierce general Xiong Kuohai, which made him even more reluctant to fight with them.

The further south you go, the warmer the weather becomes. After Xiao Mian agreed to Xiao Yuexian's marriage to the Jinyang Palace, he obviously felt that his subordinates respected him more, which made him feel very good.

Seeing that his home was much more stable, Xiao Mian turned his attention to his nearby neighbors. After the New Year, he asked Song King Yang Daosheng to make preparations to attack Xu Shao of Xiazhou as soon as the weather warmed up.

However, he had more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, and he only had less than 100,000, which made him very insecure. Now that his prestige was increasing, he came up with a way.

On the pretext that there were few people and not enough food to eat, Xiao Mian issued an order to suspend the army and work as farmers! He asked all the princes to hand over some of their soldiers and horses, and the court unified the farming.

This made all the princes a little dissatisfied. After all, their own power was weakened, which no one wanted to see.

But now that Dou Jiande has foreign aid, Zhang Xiu and others can only endure it, obey his orders, and hand over some old and weak people.

Zou Yu is still in Jinyang. After the New Year, there are New Year's plans and New Year's work arrangements. These things require a lot of time.

Now, winter wheat planting was carried out before the year, but there are still some newly conquered areas that have no time to plant, so they have to wait for spring to carry out spring plowing.

From the very beginning, it has been mandatory to plow the ground shallowly in winter. This is to turn up insect eggs and grass roots in the ground and freeze them to death, thus reducing pests and diseases. Of course! For the north, the same goes for plowing the ground after the New Year.
