In Sun Hua's view, Li Yuan's move was as gratifying as a long drought and nectar. So Sun Hua was naturally overjoyed, and immediately began to formally discuss the merger of the two armies with the envoys. After all, Sun Hua has really been around for a few years since the incident. was forced to rebel by the government at the beginning, but later there were more and more brothers around him, and Sun Hua's ambition became more and more inflated. However, as the situation changed, Sun Hua felt that he was more and more unable to control the pulse of the times. At the same time, after there were more brothers under him, the various factions were opposed one after another, which also gave Sun Hua a headache. Patronizing the struggle between these forces under his command every day is to waste Sun Hua's great energy, not to mention the need to plan the future development direction of the entire force, Sun Hua every day from opening his eyes to returning to the couch to rest at night, he always feels powerless, quite haggard. So at this time, he was naturally very happy about the olive branch that Li Yuan took the initiative to hand over.

At this time, although Li Yuan was a little stuck, he was only in a passive position relative to Li Wenyuan. However, compared with these surrounding forces, especially small forces like Sun Hua, Li Yuan's army has always maintained an absolute superiority and has always been in a position to suppress these forces. Therefore, Li Yuan is very eager to integrate these small forces in front of him, even if he is very eager to absorb these forces in a peaceful way to avoid war, but he is still unwilling to make the slightest concession in some aspects of power, out of this mentality, Li Yuan gave Sun Hua the condition that Sun Hua will be the county prince of Fufeng County, and this title can be inherited by hereditary, but correspondingly, Sun Hua must give up the control of his army, and at the same time give up all the competition for political power in Li Yuan's forces.

Although such conditions seem very harsh in the eyes of some people, and can even be said to be a little mean, it is an excellent opportunity for Sun Hua, who has long been a little disheartened, to get rid of this mess of all kinds of things. In fact, if there was no way out, Sun Hua would have wanted to give up his position as the leader early on, and just wanted to rely on the money he had accumulated over the years to find a place to live in seclusion, and it would be excellent to be a rich man. Although he can't let his subordinates saddle up and serve him in front of the horse, he can at least end up with a good death. You must know that he is also in his forties this year, and compared with his ambition when he got into trouble, he now values the actual benefits in his hands. So for Li Yuan's condition, Sun Hua didn't think much about it and directly nodded in agreement. As for his brothers, Sun Hua called them to his own face, Sun Hua, who was willing to stay and continue to work in the army, naturally would not delay their future, and Sun Hua was tired of many years of military career, and those who wanted to return to their hometown to recuperate, Sun Hua also prepared for them to go home, and at the same time did his best to give them a settlement fee, so that even after returning to their hometown, they would not have too much difficulty.

After dealing with all the things in his army, Sun Hua led his brothers and his own military advisors, chose a good day and an auspicious day, and officially surrendered to Li Yuan's men. After the handover between the two sides, Sun Hua obtained the title of Fufeng County Duke as promised, and went to settle in Chang'an City with his relatives and family members and the wealth he had accumulated over the years. The so-called title of Fufeng County Duke does not mean that Sun Hua can really go to Fufeng County to take office. This title is actually more of a title than the actual right, and with this title, Sun Hua can withdraw his title as a county prince from the imperial court every year. And Sun Hua didn't have any power over Fufeng County, not to mention the surrendered general, how could Li Yuan rest assured that Sun Hua would run to Fufeng County? Sun Hua, who is proficient in human affairs, naturally knows Li Yuan's thoughts, so he took the initiative to ask Li Yuan to agree to him living in Chang'an City.

Sun Hua was so sensible, Li Yuan was naturally overjoyed, so he agreed to Sun Hua's request, and privately used his family's money to buy a mansion for Sun Hua in the best part of Chang'an City. After dealing with Sun Hua in the north, Li Yuan's slightly empty army was replenished with a large number of soldiers. Moreover, the vast majority of the soldiers in their own army were from the Sui army of the previous dynasty, and the defeat of various dynasties in history was an economic problem, and then the people were not able to make a living, and the government could not afford to raise a regular army, which led to a significant decline in the quality of the soldiers in the army, so it was unable to suppress the rebellion, and finally overthrew the rule of the dynasty by the rebels. But Yang Guang's Great Sui is not like this, although Yang Guang's Great Sui said that it seems that there are rebels everywhere, how many ways to oppose the king, it seems that the momentum is huge and unstoppable. However, the quality of the Sui Dynasty's army did not deteriorate at all, and those soldiers were still the elite who could fight the Turks on the steppe for several days, but the root of Yang Guang's Great Sui demise was that the internal Guanlong nobles no longer supported Yang Guang.

After all, these Guanlong nobles are all people who have been passed down for generations, and no one is a fool. For Yang Guang pretending to be Goguryeo, pretending to be Turkic, pretending to be Tuyuhun, and even pretending to be the hands of various rebels in his own territory, he wanted to weaken the strength of the Guanlong nobles, so as to dilute their influence on the government, and wanted to gradually bring the ruling power of the Sui Dynasty back into the hands of the royal family. Naturally, everyone can see such a scheme, but in any case, after all, Yang Guang is the Son of Heaven, if he doesn't wait for Yang Guang to lose the hearts of the people before he acts, then what awaits them is the inevitable death of all the people in the world who will attack them. It was an endurance race, with Yang Guang and Guan Long each leading a team. But the ending has already shown that the endurance of the team of the people led by Yang Guang is far inferior to the endurance of the Guanlong nobles, so after Yang Guang lost the hearts of the people, Li Yuan, who was pushed out by the Guanlong nobles, made up for the last knife and completely overthrew the rule of the Great Sui.

Therefore, the sudden and violent death of the Sui Dynasty was not only left behind by the overflowing official warehouses all over the country, which contained countless food, armor and weapons, but more importantly, a large number of elite Sui soldiers. Whoever can win over these soldiers for his own use will save a lot of training time and material costs, so that he can launch an annexation attack on other forces earlier.
