The situation in the south in the ninth year of the emperor's reign can be said to be turbulent and weird.

First, the main force of the Sui army was divided into multiple batches, and directly crossed the Yangtze River defense line on the Chinese New Year's Eve, and several elite troops of the Sui army attacked Jiankang, the capital of Southern Chen, with the help of Erwuzai, and opened the prelude to the destruction of Chen.

It's a pity that the later plot development is completely different from what Sui Jiang had in mind.

Lei Hu, the general of Southern Chen stationed outside Jiankang City, reacted quickly, led his army into the capital at a time of crisis, defeated several elite Sui troops in a row, and forcibly rescued a group of princes and palace concubines including Prince Chen in the palace, injecting a shot in the arm into the stunned Nan Chen.

As for the main force of the Sui army, the Chen army, the Lei Hu Division, and the Taihu Lake area, the Sui army, which has always been elite, actually stopped here, and even several generals and tens of thousands of troops were killed.

Nan Chen's originally precarious situation actually had the possibility of resurrection at this time.

But at this moment, the powerful Chen general Lei Hu actually reached a self-reliance agreement with the commander of the Sui army, and at the same time properly handled the whereabouts of Prince Chen and the palace concubines and princes of the harem, so that the situation in Nanchen, which was originally a resurgence, completely collapsed.

The freed Sui army scattered and slaughtered all over Nanchen, and was invincible along the way, almost sweeping the local forces that were unwilling to surrender to Nanchen.

At the same time, Prince Chen led tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, under the protection of Chen's general Lei Hu, to go to sea by boat to occupy the large island of overseas Liuqiu, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen insisted on paying tribute to Emperor Yang of Sui.

After the Sui army completely controlled the south, Chen's general Lei Hu also officially declared himself a vassal to the Great Sui and was awarded the title of Marquis of Wu, with jurisdiction over a large area of Taihu Lake and Qiantang County, and the war in the south ended from then on.

……

Qiantang County, that is, the essence of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in later generations, is the core place of Qiantang County (later 'West Lake Paradise'), where the newly emerged Wuhou Mansion is located.

The Hou Mansion was built very simply, only three places in the front court, middle hall and back yard, all of which were piled up with huge stones, the appearance was rough but the defensive power was extremely amazing, not worse than the city defense of ordinary small county towns.

At this time, in the middle hall of Wuhou Mansion, Lei Hu was receiving Song Que, the lord of the Lingnan Song Dynasty who suddenly arrived.

That's right, at this time, Song Que had already succeeded to the position of the lord of the Lingnan Song valve, and also took the daughter of the Lingnan mountain barbarian clan as his wife, and I heard that her appearance was quite ugly.

It is rare that this person has a firm mind and throws aside Fan Qinghui, the contemporary heir of Cihang Jingzhai, who is like a flower and jade.

Of course, this is also the reason why the two have different ideas, and they can't come together at all.

Fan Qinghui advocated ethnic integration, based on the traditions of the Central Plains, and integrated the foreign Hu people and the descendants of the Hu people with the blood of the Hu people into the Central Plains, but it was mainly based on the strong Guanlong military group.

Song Que was a staunch Han unificationist, and he was quite unhappy with the Hu people and the people of the north with Hu blood, and he hated the existence of the Guanlong military group mainly based on the Sinicized Hu people and the active Hu Han people, and would not agree to let the Guanlong military group win the world at all.

The concepts are so different, the two are arrogant, and they are supported by a strong force behind each other, so it's no wonder that they can come together.

At this time, Song Que came to the door, mainly talking about the Sui army.

"Lord of the Song Valve, the Lord of the Sui Army is still interested in preserving the Song Valve!"

Lei Hu sat upright on the chair, his back was straight and extraordinary, he had the appearance of a prince, and he spoke softly, but he didn't dare to be the slightest contempt, and he was straight to the essence.

"I know!"

Song Que smiled bitterly and said in a condensed voice: "But Song Valve can't be humiliated, after all, you have to fight to be peaceful!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Lei Hu and said leisurely: "Isn't this the case for Wu Hou, so he can have a chance to stand on his own?" ”

As the Sui army swept through the south, the Great Sui completely agreed to the Central Plains, and at this time, the Lingnan Song lords, who had been wandering outside and refused to surrender, became the outliers that Emperor Yang Jian wanted to get rid of.

On the occasion of the unification of the world by the Great Sui, Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty was so high-spirited that he personally went south, wanting to lead 300,000 Sui troops to set foot in Lingnan and uproot the power of the Lingnan Song Valve, one of the four major lords in the world.

Among them, the intention of deterring the forces of the world's gate valve families is naturally indispensable, but the Song valve represents the orthodox Han forces, and Song Que cannot back down even if he knows Yang Jian's intentions.

"It's good that the Song valve has a plan!"

Lei Hu chuckled indifferently, at this time, as the Marquis of Wu, he had jurisdiction over a large territory, although the population was not abundant, only about 500,000, but it was not something that the Lingnan Song Valve dared to despise.

In other words, the population of Lingnan is even more scarce, and the population in the hands of Song Valve is estimated to be less than 300,000, which is much worse than Lei Hu, but these people all agree with Song Valve very much, and the centripetal force is extremely strong.

With a population of 300,000 as soldiers, it is already very good to be able to gather 50,000 troops, and if there are more, it will hurt the foundation of the Lingnan Song lords, and it is quite difficult to rely on a mere 50,000 troops to resist the elite of the 300,000 Sui army.

Not to mention, this time it was Emperor Yang Jian of Sui who personally led the army, and the Sui generals naturally had to perform well and strive to take the lead in front of Emperor Sui, and they would definitely fight hard and refuse to stay, and the pressure on the Lingnan Song Valve this time was not small.

Perhaps, this is also one of the reasons why Song Que married a mountain barbarian woman, and wanted to form a good alliance with the mountain barbarians to borrow troops to fight against the Sui.

"This time, Wu Hou will make a move?"

Song Que's eyes were blazing, and he looked directly at Lei Hu and said in a deep voice: "If Wu Hou is also involved, I'm afraid that this Lingnan Song valve will really be bad!" ”

This is true, even if Song Que is extremely confident in himself, regardless of martial arts and military strategy, he is the dragon among men, but he is not the slightest bit sure about Lei Hu.

In terms of martial arts, Lei Hu is obviously higher than the realm of a first-class master, and Song Que even suspects that he is already a grandmaster master, otherwise Lei Hu's strength is too strong to understand.

In terms of military strategy, although Lei Hu did not show superhuman military talent, he could not stand his ability to train troops, and the elite soldiers he trained were extremely strong, and he could always defeat the elite Sui army with less and more and even completely collapse.

This is the ability, with this strong army in hand, you can not care about any military strategy at all, just sweep through with a dignified momentum, and you can't stop thousands of troops from subduing, in Song Que's opinion, this is this powerful art of war.

If Lei Hu really led the army to participate in the war, the Lingnan Song Lords would have difficulty this time.

Even if it is not annihilated by the Sui army in one fell swoop, at least it will lose most of the family's vitality, and it will fall directly from the position of the four major lords in the world, becoming one of the families on the dominant side.

He obviously didn't want such a thing to happen, not to mention that when he was the lord of the valve, he would make the Song family's strength go to the next level, but he couldn't lose too much vitality and cause the follow-up to be weak.

Therefore, he also had the intention of dissuading Lei Hu from coming here, but it was difficult to say it directly because of his face.

"Don't worry, Lord Song!"

Lei Hu didn't know how Song Que was thinking, he smiled and said: "The four major valves in the world are the best choice to contain Emperor Sui, and Benhou will not be so stupid to clear the obstacles for Emperor Sui!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Song Que breathed a long sigh of relief, but he didn't hide his thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's just that if you deal with Emperor Sui and the 300,000 Sui army, Song is still very confident!" ”

"Just have faith!"

Lei Hu smiled and groaned; "I'm afraid that the three major valves in the north will not let Emperor Sui succeed easily, and the Lord of the Song Valve must seize the opportunity and slash Yang Jian's face!"

Just like Yang Guang's three fights against Goguryeo, it was originally a normal expansion of the Central Plains Dynasty, but it was secretly destroyed by the gate valve family, and finally Yang Guang's prestige plummeted, and the Great Sui also turned from prosperity to decline to the brink of collapse, but cheapened the small Goguryeo country.

This time, Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty personally led the army to the expedition, and it was at a time when the national strength of the Great Sui was booming and Yang Jian's prestige for unifying the Central Plains was in full swing.

Besides, although the southern land is vast and sparsely populated and has not been fully developed, it also has a lot of scarce resources in the north, and the gate valve family in the north does not want all the resources in the south to fall into the hands of the Great Sui royal family, so the existence of the Lingnan Song valve is very necessary.

Thinking about these situations, Song Que knows all of them, and whether he can see through them depends on his own comprehension.

Obviously, Song Que is definitely not a fool, and it can also be known from the plot of the Legend of Shuanglong in the Tang Dynasty that the Lingnan Song Valve not only won this battle, but also took a lot of advantage.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Song Que did not stay in Qiantang for a long time, and directly left and returned to Lingnan to prepare for the battle with Emperor Yang Jian of Sui and his 300,000 troops.

Lei Hu was not idle, and after sending Song Que away, he left his master Qingxu and Lao Dao to take care of the house, and he personally led his three thousand guards to inspect the jurisdiction, and at the same time began the governance and rectification of the jurisdiction.

The Taihu Lake area and Qiantang County, after 700 years, can definitely be called the essence of the Central Plains, and most of the grain production of the entire Central Plains, as well as a large proportion of taxes, are provided by the two places.

Even now, the two places are also rare densely populated areas in the south, with relatively developed economies and people's livelihoods, although they are not as good as the long-established north and south of the Yellow River and Guanzhong, but they also have great development potential.

Don't forget, Lei Hu was the head of the cabinet of the dignified Central Plains Dynasty in his previous life, and he was in charge of the cabinet for nearly ten years, and he governed the Central Plains Dynasty, which had already had problems, to flourish day by day.

At this point, the governance experience accumulated at the beginning is also effective.

Although there are only 500,000 people under his command, and the young and strong only account for less than two-fifths, and the rest are old and weak, women and children, they can't stand the strong aura of heaven and earth in this world, and the physical quality of living beings is much stronger than in the previous life, even if it is just a yellow-mouthed child, the strength alone is not worse than that of the young man in the world of Red Mansions.

The people are not strong enough to make up!

The physical fitness of the creatures in this world is really not finished, even if they are old and weak, women and children, they can do some heavy physical labor in the eyes of the world of Red Mansions.

In fact, as long as it is properly organized and planned, even if there are only 500,000 people in hand, it is enough to do a lot of things.

Not to mention, there are not only Han people in the jurisdiction of Wuhou, but also a large number of mountain barbarian people, roughly estimated to be at least 50,000, as long as they are used well, they can also play a big role.

Right now, for Lei Hu, it is obvious that the first priority is to liberate the tenants in the hands of the powerful of the Shi clan!
