After Wang Hongyi reorganized the military discipline, he once again mobilized his troops and generals, and gathered Du Gongzhen's defeated troops. The total number reached 16,000, with a claimed strength of 45,000, and rushed to the junction of Hongze Prefecture and Chengdu Prefecture.
.
Wei Cundong did not expect Du Gongzhen to be defeated so quickly, and Wang Hongyi's main force was not consumed.
However, Wei Cundong was in a hurry and was not ready, so he could only mobilize 14,000 troops.
The troops were smaller than Wang Hongyi's, and it was difficult to compete with Wang Hongyi's heavy cavalry.
After a confrontation, Wei Cundong took the initiative to retreat.
On Wang Hongyi's side, because he had captured Hongze Mansion and needed time to digest it, he did not take the initiative to attack.
But both sides knew this was just the calm before the storm.
Wei Cundong will not leave Wang Hongyi too much time.
Wang Hongyi captured Hongze Mansion and suddenly owned the land of three mansions, and his power was already on par with his own.
And Wang Hongyi is still so young.
If he is allowed to completely digest Hongze Mansion, then no one in the entire Shu region can really check and balance him!
Therefore, as soon as Wei Cundong is ready, he will immediately send his troops to attack.
Wang Hongyi also knew this very well. On the one hand, he mobilized civil servants to serve as county magistrates to govern the local areas. On the other hand, he organized the army and prepared for war without any slack.

…
News of Du Gongzhen's surrender to Wang Hongyi spread to the rear.
Wenyang Mansion and Hongze Mansion were both boiling.
Wang Hongyi was so outstanding that many families in these two provinces made up their minds and sent their outstanding children to serve Wang Hongyi.
The arrival of these scholars alleviated Wang Hongyi's talent crisis.
The news also reached Tian Ji Private School.
Ever since [Yinmen] chose Fengshan, Tian Ji, Tongxuan, Pingzhen and other disciples who were outside, it was as if they were abandoned.
[Yinmen] Abandoned the Li family and suffered a great loss of luck. Even Yinmiao Zhenren died for it.
Tian Ji and his wife were both on the front line in the fight for the dragon, and they received considerable backlash.
In other words, Wu Siyuan traveled through Li Chengye, and under his influence, the Li family was unable to rebel, so the backlash was much smaller than in the original work.
In the original work, Tian Ji's family was wiped out.
But now, Tian Ji and his wife were born prematurely and aged twenty or thirty years overnight, and their son also became frail and sickly.
But if you really want to compare it, it is still much better than the original.
Tongxuan, Pingzhen and Tian Ji were drinking tea.
They all heard the news of Wang Hongyi's victory.
Pingzhen sighed, "The secrets of heaven are so unpredictable that even real people can't see clearly. Qianlong, Qianlong, Wang Hongyi's son, before he gained power, looked ordinary, but once he gained power, he looked like a dragon.
The sea is unstoppable!"
Tongxuan took a sip of tea and said, "I have already gone to see it. The dragon energy in the Li family's ancestral acupoint has been rejuvenated and it can no longer threaten Wang Hongyi."
"Then it seems that the real dragon of Shu is Wang Hongyi! Maybe Li Chengye is the false dragon who pioneered the real king, so he took over his body." Tian Ji sighed.
"Be careful what you say..." Tongxuan Hepingzhen said quickly.
Tian Ji was speechless for a while, then nodded and said, "The two senior brothers must have made a decision."
Taoist Tongxuan and Taoist Pingzhen looked at each other and nodded.
Tongxuan Taoist said, "The master has closed the mountain and we can't go back! And the real dragon has appeared. For personal reasons, we have no choice but to join the banner!"
Of course, after Wang Hongyi became successful, if he wanted to invest at this time, the benefits he could gain were extremely limited.
At least not as many as the real person from the Li family!
Taoist Tongxuan's heart felt heavy when he thought of the real person from the Li family.
Taoist Tongxuan was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Where is Junior Brother Tian Ji?"
"Hey!" Tian Ji sighed and said, "Wang Hongyi is in the prime of employing people. I will personally visit him to see if I can recommend some good talents to Wang Hongyi to earn some luck."
If Tian Ji was Wang Hongyi's tutor before and there was still some affection between them, it would be okay.
But last time Tian Ji hated Wang Hongyi, it's hard to tell now.
When Tongxuan and Pingzhen heard this, all three of them sighed.
At this time, Tian Ji's wife brought some refreshments over. Looking at the wrinkles on his wife's face, Tian Ji sighed deeply.
"If you make one wrong move, you almost lose the whole game!"

Wenyang Town, the original residence of Jiedushi.
backyard.
Wang Zunzhi, who had stopped taking part in the affairs of the town and had closed his eyes to rest, was shocked to the point of disbelief at first when he heard the news. After confirming with the messenger again and again, he sent the messenger down to collect the reward and burst into laughter.
"My Qilin! Hahahahaha...hahahahahaha...cough cough cough cough..."
"I didn't expect that my Wang family would have a chance to achieve that supreme position in this life! Hahahaha...cough cough cough cough...cough cough cough cough..."
Wang Zunzhi smiled and couldn't stop coughing!
He covered his mouth with his hand.
When he took his hand away, his hands and mouth were already full of blood!
Wang Zunzhi was still laughing wildly.

November 4, the twelfth year of Chuizheng.
Wei Cundong was well prepared and sent 30,000 troops, claiming to be 50,000, to fight Wang Hongyi's 16,000 troops.
Only because he wanted to deal with Wang Hongyi's heavy cavalry did Wei Cundong delay for so long!
But unexpectedly, Wang Hongyi came up with something new in this battle.
A full thousand crossbowmen.
Far beyond the range of ordinary crossbows.
Wei Cundong was caught off guard!
These thousand crossbows were naturally given to Wang Hongyi by Wu Siyuan after Wang Hongyi won another battle.
It was made by the [Transformers] in the [Shennongjiao Space] and has excellent craftsmanship.
Wei Cundong is worthy of being a heroic figure who occupies the land of the Three Prefectures.
Wang Hongyi had elite units such as 1,000 crossbowmen, 200 heavy cavalry, and 500 light cavalry, which caught Wei Cundong off guard, but it still took many days of fierce fighting before he finally won.
In this battle, Wang Hongyi had 16,000 soldiers, and suffered 3,000 casualties. Another 2,000 soldiers were unable to meet the requirements of front-line combat after treatment, so they had to be incorporated into the new barracks as instructors or as side soldiers.
The cavalry, which is an elite force, has also been reduced by 20%. Now there are only 500 cavalry available.
But the battle is worth it.
Because of this battle, Wang Hongyi's army completely developed a majestic spirit, a spirit that dared to face any strong enemy, instead of relying on cunning tactics to fight against the wind.
On Wei Cundong's side, out of the 30,000 regular soldiers, 8,000 were killed in battle, and countless others were maimed and routed.
Wei Cundong's ambition to proclaim himself "General Zhenbei" was also shattered, and he fled back to Chengdu in despair with two hundred soldiers.
While Wang Hongyi gathered Wei Cundong's defeated troops, he sent out troops, aiming directly at the major counties in the three prefectures of Chengdu.
Counties all over the country surrendered enthusiastically.
November 13, the twelfth year of Chuizheng.
Wang Hongyi gathered soldiers from all over the country, and the number of troops reached 28,000, known as 60,000, and surrounded Chengdu Prefecture.
November 15th, the twelfth year of Chuizheng.
Wei Cundong died of illness.
That night, knowledgeable people killed Wei Cundong's heirs, seized control of Chengdu Prefecture, opened the city gates, and surrendered to Wang Hongyi.
November 16, the twelfth year of Chuizheng.
Wang Hongyi nominally controlled the six prefectures of Yizhou in the east of Shu.
