Chapter 404: Wang Shichong's New Goal

Jianghuai also has Li Zitong, Zuo Caixiang, Shen Faxing, and now there is another Wang Shichong, which can be said to have become lively all of a sudden.

Zuo Cai traveled back and forth to Huaibei, Li Zitong occupied Hailing, there were tens of thousands of troops, Shen Faxing occupied Wu County, Wang Shichong was the worst, for a while, he didn't know who to fight, he had been stationed in Nanyang, and he didn't dare to advance.

Among these people, Chen Ling has no ambition, nor does he have that strength, no one beats him, so he will stay in Jiangdu with peace of mind, and live one day at a time, anyway, it is still good for the emperor to start.

Du Fuwei and Li Zitong are mortal enemies, in the eleventh year of the great cause, Li Zitong led more than 10,000 people to Huainan to join Du Fuwei. When Li Zitong raised his army, he was attached to the left of Changbai Mountain, and later because he was too popular, he was hated by Zuo Caixiang, so he had to leave Changbai Mountain. The addition of Li Zitong's ministry strengthened Du Fuwei's power, and Du Fuwei was of course happy, but Li Zitong was also a person with great ambitions and refused to be subservient, so he suddenly mutinied and tried in vain to annex Du Fuwei's territory. Du Fuwei was caught off guard, the whole army was in chaos, Du Fuwei himself was seriously injured under the pursuit of Li Zitong, at the critical moment, Du Fuwei's adopted son (Du selected a strong man in the army to adopt as an adopted son, a total of more than 30 people) and the general Wang Xiongdan carried him to hide in the reeds, and luckily escaped the pursuit.

Shen Faxing is also a person who is not willing to be lonely, but his strength has always been limited, and the big ones dare not fight, and the small forces can't fight.

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

Zou Yu got the news of Luoyang, he already knew, and he didn't know how many times he scolded him in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to go back and ask for it. What makes him angry the most is that there is a feeling of abandonment, Dou Jiande no longer supports him, and there are dense forces of all sizes on the way south, if it was before, if he wanted to pass by, even Du Fuwei would have to give face, now! No one wants to let him pass, firstly, he is worried that he will suddenly make trouble and grab his own territory, and secondly, he doesn't want to have another prince in the south, you Wang Shichong is still over there, at least you can resist Li Shimin.

But Wang Shichong had to choose a target, after all, a person who became an emperor would be willing to be subservient.

Duan Da and the others were half coerced, half helpless, and they also followed Nanyang, what disappointed Wang Shichong the most was that there were not many generals under him now, and the only one who could fight the most was Shan Xiongxin, and after Xie Yingdeng escorted him to break through, he left.

"In the Jianghuai area, the strongest forces are Li Zitong and Du Fuwei. I think it's best to avoid its edge! Shan Xiongxin suggested.

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

"Du Fuwei rejected Yu Wenhua's official position back then, and now he is the king of Chu, the governor of Southeast Dao, and I am afraid that he will not form an alliance with His Majesty." The eldest grandson, Anshi, reminded.

Duan Da, the eldest grandson An Shi, are all old foxes who have survived many years of court struggle, and they are very thorough in analysis, and the implication of his words is that if you Wang Shichong killed Yang Tong, Du Fuwei will definitely not give you a good face.

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

"Father, you forgot that there are also Xu Yuanlang and Zhu Cang, just mix the water thoroughly and pull these two into the war together." Wang Xuanying suggested.

"Not bad! Your Majesty, the crown prince is right, in the rich land of Jianghuai, as long as they promise heavy profits, these two people will definitely be tempted. Duan Da agreed.

"In this case, why don't you play bigger, Zuo Xiangcai, Li Zitong, are all some young people, Your Majesty organized them together, and took the opportunity to knock down all the lands south of the Yangtze River." The eldest grandson Anshi's eyes flashed, and he said in a gloomy tone.

"That's a brilliant plan! Let's turn Jiangnan upside down, turn it upside down, and go back and compete with Li Yuan again! Wang Shichong was in good spirits, swept away many days of decadence, and said firmly.

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

As for the people who followed, they were also people who were unwilling to go down or had no other way to go, and of course they supported him even more to continue to fight for hegemony.

Wang Shichong was so eager to leave, mainly because Li Yuan, Wu Yunzhao, who was originally subject to him, Wu Tianxi's brothers, after completely surrendering to Li Yuan, naturally wanted to explode the resentment they had suffered before, and it happened that Li Yuan wanted to engage Wang Shichong, who let Zou Yu occupy Luoyang.

In Li Yuan's opinion, this Luoyang was given to Zou Yu by Wang Shichong, which made him attack Wang Shichong with more than half of the gain, so he turned his anger at Wang Shichong.

The Wu brothers had just returned to obedience, and it was not easy for him to take other people's military power, so he agreed to Wu Yunzhao's plan to hunt down and kill Wang Shichong.

Wu Yunzhao dispatched troops and actively trained people, of course, he was discovered by Wang Shichong, who paid close attention to Li Yuan in Guanzhong, and knew with his toes that this was either to beat Dou Jiande or to beat himself.

The martial brothers are powerful, he knows, only Shan Xiongxin can fight with one of them at present, but the martial brothers are two, and there is also a fierce general Xiong Kuohai, which makes him even more unwilling to fight with them.

The farther south, the warmer the weather became, and after Xiao Mo agreed to Xiao Yuexian marrying into the Jinyang Palace, he obviously felt that his subordinates respected him more, which made him feel very good.

Seeing that his house was much more stable, Xiao Mo set his sights on the nearby neighbors, and after the New Year, he immediately asked Yang Daosheng, the king of Song, to prepare, and when the weather was warm, he immediately attacked Xu Shao in Xiazhou.

However, he has more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, and he is less than 100,000, which makes him very insecure.

Under the pretext that there are few people and not enough food to eat, Xiao Mo issued an order to suspend the army for farming! Let all the princes hand over some of the soldiers and horses, and the court will unify the tuntian.

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

It's just that now that Dou Jiande has foreign aid, Zhang Xiu and others can only endure it, obey his orders, and hand over some of the old and weak.

Zou Yu is still in Jinyang, after the New Year, it is the New Year's plan, the New Year's work arrangement, these things, it takes a lot of time.

At present, winter wheat has been planted a year ago, but there are still some newly conquered areas that have not had time to be planted, so it is necessary to wait for the beginning of spring to carry out spring planting.

From the very beginning, it was mandatory to plow the ground once in winter, in order to turn over the insect eggs and grass roots in the field and freeze to death, and reduce pests and diseases, of course! For the north, it is the same for ploughing the ground after the New Year, after all, it will snow several times after the New Year.
