After Xiao Miao, the main separatist force in the south, was completely defeated by Li Jing, there was another relatively large separatist force that Li Tang feared, that was a man named Lin Shihong, whose strength was not much worse than Xiao Miao. After Xiao Mi was killed, most of Xiao Miao's stragglers defected to Lin Shihong, and Lin Shihong's army increased a lot of strength.

Lin Shihong, a native of Poyang, Raozhou (Poyang, Jiangxi), has roughly the same characteristics as other separatist heroes, heroic and straightforward, good martial arts, and strategy. In short, a man who made his parents proud.

About the twelfth year of the Great Cause (616), Lin Shihong followed his fellow townsman to lead the people to revolt and was appointed as a general. The general captured Yuzhang County (present-day Nanchang, Jiangxi). The master was unfortunately killed in battle, and Lin Shihong, who had leadership skills, took over his troops, and then turned the Sui army on his back at Poyang Lake, killing the Sui general Liu Ziyi, and the number reached more than 100,000, and he became famous for a while, and became a famous man in the hearts of men, women and children all over the world.

Lin Shihong is very satisfied with the current victory, and feels that he should be called the king and the emperor, otherwise he is sorry for his victory. At one time, it had a vast area from Jiujiang in the north to Panyu (now Guangzhou, Guangdong) in the south.

At this time, Li Xiaogong, the governor of Jingzhou and the king of Zhao in the Tang Dynasty, sent envoys to appease him, and the two prefectures of Xunzhou and Chaozhou under the jurisdiction of Lin Shihong were given to the Tang Dynasty as a gift of surrender by his subordinates. It's almost going to make Lin Shihong's mouth crooked.

In the fifth year of Wude (622), Lin Shihong sent his younger brother Lin Yaoshi, the king of Poyang, to besiege Xunzhou (most of today's Huizhou, Heyuan, Shanwei, and Meizhou) with 20,000 troops, vowing to regain the lost land.

Yang Luo of the Tang Dynasty went out to fight with Lin Yaoshi, and Yang Luo led the army in a good way, not only defeating Lin Yaoshi's troops, but also chopping Lin Yaoshi......

Lin Yaoshi's general Wang Rong was really unreliable, and even offered Nanchang Prefecture to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, which made Lin Shihong's heart cold, and at the same time afraid that the Tang Dynasty would clean him up, November 21, also asked the Tang Dynasty to surrender, but he was a fraudulent surrender, and the Tang Dynasty was not relieved, and he responded to his surrender Unexpectedly, he fled into the cave of Ancheng (now southeast of Anfu, Jiangxi), and the people in the Yuanzhou (now Yichun, Jiangxi) area had a soft spot for Lin Shihong, and gathered each other to respond to Lin Shihong.

Lin Shihong faced failure after failure, and when he was confused and didn't know where to go, God took his life and died.

After the separatist forces in Jiangnan were dealt with by the Tang Dynasty, there were still many separatist forces entrenched in Jianghuai: Li Zitong occupied Hailing (now Changzhou City, Jiangsu), Shen Faxing occupied Biling (now Changzhou City, Jiangsu), Du Fuweipan occupied Liyang (now Weihe County), and Chen Liang sat firmly in Jiangdu. The entanglement between these heroes is not small, and they often tear each other apart, and they all have the ambition of dominating the Jiangbiao (now Taihu Lake and Qiantang River basins).

When the Tang Dynasty was inseparable from Liu Wuzhou, they attacked each other, and they had reached the point of no return.

Among them, Li Zitong's strength is relatively large, and his cunning makes other Jianghuai forces unmatched...... It's a ruthless character.

Li Zitong, Zitong, a native of Cheng County, Donghai County (now Yi County, Shandong Province), his family lives on fishing and hunting, and his family has no background.
