Li Zitong's confession Mao Wenshen offered a poisonous plan: Shen Faxing and Du Fuwei originally distrusted each other, so we recruited fierce Jiangnan people, disguised as Shen Lun's soldiers, and attacked Du Fuwei's military camp late at night to provoke a war between them. When they fight each other to the death, we will take advantage of the situation to attack Jiangdu. At that time, getting Jiangdu was not as simple as searching for things!

So, Li Zi was full of heart and sent a group of soldiers disguised as Shen Faxing's troops, and on a dark and windy night, they attacked Du Fuwei, who was not prepared, at night. Du Fuwei was really fooled, he was furious, and scolded and ordered to kill Shen Faxing, a melon baby, for which the two armies were in a mess and could not be separated. Li Zitong took advantage of the fact that they were torn apart, and attacked Jiangdu with all his might, but Chen Ling couldn't resist it, so in order to save his life, he abandoned the city and fled to Du Fuwei.

Li Zitong entered and exited Jiangdu in a dashing manner, took advantage of the situation to wave his troops to attack Shen Lun, and defeated Shen Lun. Seeing that the situation was not good, Du Fuwei had no choice but to lead the army to withdraw. This time, he deepened his hatred for Li Zitong, and he hated him deeply.

Originally, Li Zitong's troops and situation were at a disadvantage, and he took possession of Jiangdu by skill, which was enough for him to be excited for a while!

Li Zitong thinks he can be the emperor! So he called the emperor in the gritted teeth of his opponent, the country name was "Wu", and the founding name was Ming Zheng.

Le Botong, the leader of the Danyang thieves, was originally Yu Wenhua and defended Danyang, heard that Li Zitong was a powerful person, and thought that he could eat and drink spicy food with him, so he led more than 10,000 people to surrender to Li Zitong, and Li Zitong appointed him as the left servant of Shangshu.

At this time, Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty had already eliminated the separatist forces of Guanxi, Xue Ju and Li Rail, and began to seek Kanto. Li Yuan sent an envoy to surrender to Du Fuwei. Du Fuwei thought that he had been calculated by Li Zitong many times, and his strength was not as good as before, so that he had no other ideals in this life, and he just wanted to be able to slaughter Li Zitong himself one day, and his life would be satisfactory. At present, Li Tang's strength has a certain advantage over other separatist forces, so it is better to rely on Li Tang and then seek revenge on Li Zitong, a sinister and cunning guy. As a result, on September 12 of the second year of Wude (October 24, 619), he announced his surrender to the Tang Dynasty and was appointed as the ambassador of Huainan pacification.

Of course, this surrender was only nominal, and Li Yuan did not dare to forcibly interfere in Du Fuwei's affairs at this time, so Du Fuwei was still an independent force. Because...... At that time, Li Tang's power was far from reaching the trend of dominating the world, and it was not much stronger than Du Fuwei himself. At that time, Li Yuan's old nest Taiyuan was being attacked by Liu Wuzhou, and Dou Jiande of Hebei and Wang Shichong of Henan were also encroaching on the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan really didn't have the confidence to shout orders to people who were equal to his strength.

In the third year of Wude (620), Li Zitong was proclaimed emperor and had the ambition to unify the world, so he sent troops across the Yangtze River to attack his old rival Shen Faxing, and brutally captured Jingkou (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu).

Shen Faxing sent his servant Jiang Yuanchao to resist Li Zitong, and the two sides fought fiercely at Qinting, Jiang Yuanchao died in battle, and Shen Faxing was saddened to lose, sadly abandoned Biling, and fled to Wu County.

For this reason, the guards of Jinling, Danyang, Biling and other counties all surrendered to Li Zitong to save their wealth and lives. Li Zitong did not hesitate to seal these people. Jiangnan scholars saw that Li Zitong was a fierce man, thinking that with him in his cover, life would definitely be comfortable, so they all came to attach themselves to him, which made him very happy.

- The situation is so good that he will wake up laughing when he dreams.
