The three old gangs in the south, the Haisha Gang, the Water Dragon Gang and the Jukun Gang, took the initiative to take refuge, which basically meant that the rivers and lakes in the south were unified and all of them were under the control of Wu Guogong Lei Hu.

According to Song Que's statement, the leaders of these three gangs have long had the intention of taking refuge, but they have never had a suitable opportunity before, and this time Song Que directly blocked the door, and they all went along with the river and surrendered, and they didn't even bother to show a little hard posture.

The three gangs add up to tens of thousands, and they have an extremely complete organization, warehousing and sales system, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are three political, military, and economic groups with a high degree of integrity.

What's more, behind the three families stood the three major gate valves in the world, which could be regarded as the money bags of the three major gate valves in the south, and all of them were put into the command of Wu Guogong at once, and the loss to the other two of the three except for the Song valve was not ordinarily large.

It is of great significance for Lei Hu to gather the three old gangs, and there is no force in the whole south that dares to be disobedient.

Moreover, the members of the three gangs, plus their families, have at least a population of more than 100,000, of which there are tens of thousands of young and strong people alone, which is not a small supplement for the territory of the Duke of Wu, which is extremely hungry and thirsty.

Lei Hu is not worried that they will be disobedient, and when the time comes, he will wantonly insert the people of the Iron Gate into it, or let them directly reduce the number of gangs.

The key is that the three families took refuge in allowing Lei Hu to completely control Jiangnan Wulin, and he was able to do many things that he did not do on the surface, and he could also spread his power to the southern coastal seas, and the money and food alone were a great benefit.

This is also the reason why he asked the cheap Yuezhang Song Que to make a move, in addition to wanting to make the Lingnan Song Valve completely cut off the connection with the Beidi Gate Valve, it also means to unify the Jiangnan martial arts.

The world's rivers and lakes are closely connected with the court, and the local gangs are not only well-organized, but also have a large number of good combat power, as well as abundant money and food support, even the local government does not dare to offend easily, it is simply a political and military group in various places, stronger than ordinary clan heroes.

For example, Lei Hu has just stabilized Yuzhang County, the Poyang Gang is extremely powerful in the local area, and the right to speak is much stronger than that of the government, such a situation is not uncommon in the entire Great Sui, and the more underdeveloped remote places, the worse the situation.

At this time, Jiangnan was underdeveloped, and the territory under the jurisdiction of Lei Hu was in good condition, but the rest of the places were still poor and remote places that the northerners disdained.

This is also one of the reasons why Lei Hu just won the governance of the six counties in Jiangdong, and he couldn't wait to ask Song Que, the cheap father-in-law, to make a move, and the current effect is very good.

Of course, not every southern gang is willing to surrender to Lei Hu, the Nanhai faction is very uninteresting, and Tiandao Song Que takes the initiative to come to the door and wants to resist.

Speaking of which, the reason why the power of the Lingnan Song Valve in the original work of the Tang Dynasty Shuanglong has not been greatly expanded is that the Nanhai faction of Weizhen Nanhai is absolutely indispensable.

I don't know what's going on, the Nanhai faction seems to be on the same bar as the Lingnan Song Valve, and it is very close to Lingnan, not to mention that its strength is still quite strong, even if it wants to solve it with the strength of the Song Valve, it will have to pay a great price.

Anyway, I don't know what the inside story is, but Song Que has never attacked the Nanhai faction, but the current situation is different.

Wu Guogong Lei Hu has achieved the general trend of unifying the south, and there is no room for the slightest dissident element to exist.

Since Heavenly Dao Song Que agreed to help solve the gangs in the southern rivers and lakes, he naturally would not be polite.

Hearing that Song Que made a big fuss about the Nanhai faction, he single-handedly fought first-class masters such as Mei Xun, the head of the Nanhai faction, and Elder Huang Gongcuo, although he couldn't kill them all in one go, he also hit them all hard, and he had to flee from the south with his core disciples and didn't know where to go.

At this time, the southern rivers and lakes were completely unified, and even if the Buddhists wanted to meddle in the trouble, they could not shake the supremacy of Lei Hu.

……

Eastern Capital, Royal Palace

"Your Majesty, the king of the backer asks to see you!"

Yang Guang, who had just gone to Wushan Yunyu with his concubine, waved his hand impatiently and said, "Call him in!" ”

Yang Lin, the backer king with white hair and strong body, walked into the golden hall and saluted respectfully: "Old minister Yang Lin, meet Your Majesty!" ”

"Uncle Wang is exempt!"

Yang Guang's face was pale, with an overly wine-colored posture, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "Uncle Wang didn't exterminate the rebels on the front line, why did he suddenly return to the Eastern Capital?" ”

Since the failure of the three expeditions to Goguryeo, he was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Turkic horsemen in Yanmen County for a month, and he was disheartened and had no fighting spirit for a while, and after arriving in the Eastern Capital, he spent all day drinking and lazy to pay attention to the government every day.

Fortunately, Yang Guang's mind was not confused, and the Sui Dynasty still had some loyal ministers who were loyal to the king, and Yang Lin, the king of the backer, came forward to rectify the army and suppress the rebellion.

Under his auspices, hundreds of thousands of elite Sui troops crisscrossed Heluo, suppressing the rebel forces in this area to the point that it was almost impossible to raise their heads.

Even the famous Wagangzhai has also been suppressed enough, if it weren't for Li Mi's help to give advice, I'm afraid it would have been unable to hold on to collapse at this time.

Not only that, but there are also many fierce generals in the Sui army, who are also among the best first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, and their martial arts are even a few points stronger than the famous generals who founded the Great Sui Dynasty.

Coupled with the existence of Xingluocang and Luokoucang, the Sui army did not worry about money and food, and the situation in Heluo stabilized for a while.

It just so happened that Yang Guang left it alone, and the backer king Yang Lin almost controlled the military and political power, that is, the Janissary Commander Yu Wenhua and were suppressed so much that he didn't dare to come nonsense, and the situation in Heluo and the surrounding areas was greatly eased.

Yang Guang saw that the king of the backer was so capable, so he simply threw away the power of the court, and he himself spent all his time drinking and drinking, and he no longer had the ambitions of the past.

The king of the backer was angry but helpless, so he could only keep running on the front line, simply out of sight and out of mind.

Yang Guang hadn't seen the backer king for a long time, and now he suddenly saw him come back, so he asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, the situation in Heluo has basically stabilized, and the front-line war has its own generals to command, and there is no need for the old minister to sit in charge himself!"

Yang Lin replied respectfully: "I heard that Wu Guogong has completely mastered the six counties of Jiangdong, and even the southern rivers and lakes have been unified by him, so I am afraid that something will be wrong and I want to discuss with Your Majesty how to deal with it!" ”

"Wu Guogong Lei Hu?"

Yang Guang tried hard to open the eyes of the water man, pondered for a moment before reacting, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang is not too careful, Lei Hu's guy has always been respectful to me, and I also know that this guy is not well-intentioned, but even for his modesty and respect, I will not target him first!" ”

Yang Lin was dissatisfied when he heard this, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, the current Wu Guogong is simply the king of Jiangnan, if you don't take action to curb its development momentum, I'm afraid it will be too big to fall!" ”

"So what?"

Yang Guang opened his eyes, and suddenly laughed wildly: "Uncle Wang, at least Lei Hu's guy didn't stab me in the back, it's not like some people and forces are unscrupulous and crazy, they don't put me in the eyes of an emperor at all, what's the use of asking them?" ”

Speaking of this, Yang Guang's emotions were very excited, and he said angrily: "Uncle Wang doesn't need to say much, even if the thunder tiger is cheap, even if our Yang family falls into his hands, I will not be cheap even if I give it to this guy, and the ambitious nobles in Guanzhong!" ”

Ay......

Yang Guangdu said this, Yang Lin couldn't say anything except for a long sigh, and his mood was extremely complicated.

The few families in Guan Yuan have made too much trouble, are they really stupid to others?

Your Majesty's current state is all thanks to them!

Even Yang Lin himself was also angry in his heart, if it weren't for the family of the Guanlong Military Group to make trouble, the second expedition to Goguryeo would have been able to compete for complete success, how could it be as miserable as it is now?

"But Your Majesty, the situation in the south is ......"

After cleaning up his mood, Yang Lin still wanted to talk about the threat in the south, after all, Wu Guogong's power has become the number one existence in the world, and as the central government of the Great Sui, he has to guard against it.

"Needless to say!"

Yang Guang shouted and sneered: "Although Uncle Wang has set his sights on the land of Guanzhong, I believe that it will not be long before there will definitely be abnormal actions in the three families, and Uncle Wang should not be stingy when the time comes!" ”

Yang Lincheng said in a deep voice: "But the most threatening one is still Wu Guogong!" ”

"So what?"

Yang Guang asked coldly: "At least Wu Guogong has always been respectful, I just want to give him the opportunity to develop and grow, so that the guys in Guanzhong will know that they want to take advantage of it and dream!" ”

Hearing the resoluteness in his words, Yang Lin did not continue to ask, and hurriedly left the palace and returned to his mansion.

"How's the backer king?"

As soon as he returned home, several generals immediately surrounded him and spoke curiously.

"Your Majesty has an order, our future defense will focus on the Guanzhong region!"

Yang Lin sat down on the main seat, and said in a deep voice without anger: "You all do a good job!"

How so?

A group of generals who came over looked at each other, and several of them even changed their complexions.

"King of the backers, obviously the threat in the south is very great, why do you still aim your defense target at Guanzhong?"

The general had a good relationship with Yang Lin, and asked curiously, "Didn't the king of the backer make it clear to His Majesty?" ”

"This king has made it clear to His Majesty!"

Yang Lin said coldly: "Didn't you hear clearly, this is Your Majesty's order!" ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, Your Majesty has already made a decision, you just need to do your part, don't think too much!"

Yang Lin's eyes were cold, and his tone was not good: "There are some things that you should not think about!" ”

The faces of the generals who came over changed slightly, and they nodded hurriedly, but they didn't dare to make a mistake.

But after they dispersed, the news immediately spread to Guanzhong at an extremely rapid speed.

Soon, Li Valve, Dugu Valve, and Yuwen Valve's high-level officials all knew Yang Guang's choice, and they were all so angry that they scolded: "What is Yang Guang doing, accidentally guarding against the threat from the south, and actually biasing the main defense center towards Guanzhong, what a bastard!" ”
