The two sides fought hard in Suzhou.

The war scene was extremely tragic, and the birds in the sky were shocked to see it.

In particular, Wang Xiongtan and his troops were very brave, and Li Zitong, who was beaten, fled.

Li Zitong led the elite soldiers to defend Dusong Ridge, ready to take a breath and fight again. This nemesis of his, he has used yin tricks to him several times, waiting for him to take a breath, and then think about subduing his bad moves, all the purpose, just to make him obey him.

But he never expected that he was completely out of breath, and when he looked up, the torch was shining brightly in the high mountains, and the flag covered the sun, and Wang Xiongdan sent his general Chen Dang to lead a thousand troops to surround him unexpectedly.

Li Zitong was shocked, burned the camp and fled, and retreated to Yuhang.

Wang Xiongdan's troops were like kraft candy, and Li Zitong walked there and stuck there.

Wang Xiongdan's troops surrounded Yuhang City like buckets again.

Like a prey being chased by a hunter, Li Zitong lay down weakly and asked Du Fuwei to surrender.

Du Fuwei accepted his surrender contentedly, and then escorted him to Chang'an with his left servant, Le Botong, and handed him over to his trusted Tang Gaozu Li Yuan. This can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill to Li Tang as a gift, he can completely kill Li Zitong, who has made him suffer a lot, this will be more relieving of hatred.

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan not only did not cure Li Zitong's crimes, but also gave him the first house, five hectares of land, and a lot of money, in essence, he was temporarily placed under house arrest in Chang'an, and he had to wait for him to make significant contributions to Li Tang before he fully trusted him.

After killing Li Zitong, who was relatively powerful in Jianghuai, Du Fuwei sent Wang Xiongdan to attack other independent forces in Jianghuai, but at this time Du Fuwei was already the overlord of Jianghuai, and it was very easy to clean up those forces that were not in the climate, and Du Fuwei easily completed the unification of Jianghuai, and he had all the land of Huainan and Jiangdong.

At this time, it was already the fourth year of martial arts, although Du Fuwei had laid a foundation enough to compete for the world, but he was embarrassed to find that Li Tang had basically achieved the domination of the world, and it was no longer the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Du Fuwei naturally understood that Li Tang's next target to clean up would be him, he was very messy and very uneasy, in order to avoid dislike, he decided to write to Li Yuan and ask to enter the court.

In the summer of the fifth year of Wude (622), Li Yuan screamed with joy after receiving Du Fuwei's report, and happily approved Du Fuwei's entry into the court.

As a result, Du Fuwei handed over the Jianghuai army to his most capable adopted son, Wang Xiongdan, and brought a few cronies to Chang'an to meet Li Yuan in July of that year.

Li Yuan gave him enough face, and at the same time, in order to be good in front of the world, Li Yuan crowned Du Fuwei as the crown prince Taibao, above the Qi King Yuanji (that should be second only to Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin, and is the fourth person in the Tang Dynasty).

Li Zitong, who had been staying in Chang'an, saw that his nemesis Du Fuwei had entered the court, his little heart began to beat violently again, and the sound of the small abacus in his heart was about to break his nerves. It is expected that the Jianghuai army will lose its leader, and the situation in Jianghuai will be unstable, so he can take this opportunity to go back to the troubled waters to catch a big fish and gather the old troops to regroup.

Therefore, Li Zitong escaped from Chang'an.

Probably, he was very unlucky, and was found by the soldiers guarding Lantian Pass, arrested him, and was escorted back to Chang'an.

Li Yuan didn't show mercy to his subordinates this time, since he had a virtue with Li Mi, he reversed himself and said to surrender, but he stayed restlessly, and there was no way to retreat, so he defected to him, and when he had a little way to retreat, he would betray again. For such a person, only when he is slaughtered can he be satisfied.
