As expected, the demon concubine Zhang Lihua took a big step back and directly handed over most of the authority of the Yin Kui faction, and Zhu Yuyan left Nanchen immediately after taking over, and the follow-up takeover was not easy.

The reason why she held on to Zhang Lihua was that in addition to wanting to compete for the title of the first master of the Yin Kwai faction, she wanted to snatch the authority of the Yin Kwai faction from Zhang Lihua.

Now that Zhang Lihua took the initiative to back down, she had personally experienced Zhang Lihua's strong strength, and knew that unless her cultivation was promoted to the Heavenly Demon Great and the eighteenth layer of the law, it would be impossible to win Zhang Lihua alone.

At present, Zhang Lihua has given up most of the authority of the Yin Kwai faction, and Zhu Yuyan's ambition is not so huge, and after taking over, there will naturally be no contradictions and conflicts, and it is impossible for her to hold on to Zhang Lihua like a martial idiot.

Just as Lei Hu guessed, after Zhu Yuyan withdrew, Shi Zhixuan also disappeared, obviously giving up the idea of going against Zhang Lihua.

"Song Que, why don't you leave and stay in Gusu?"

On this day, Lei Hu was handling military affairs in the barracks, and suddenly the guards at the door came to report, and Song Que, the Lingnan Song valve, came to see him, he waved his hand and asked someone to bring Song Que in.

"General Lei is so majestic, sure enough, being a general of Zhennan is different!"

Song Que had a sneer on his face, and directly found a chair to sit down, and said angrily: "I want to ask, what does General Lei want to do?" ”

"Make it clear!"

Lei Hu sat on the handsome chair, looked at Song Que with an indifferent face, and said coldly: "Song Que, you have been giving me a lot of trouble recently, and I haven't looked for your bad luck, but you have to hit it first!" ”

"What, General Lei still wants to take me down?"

Song Que's eyes were cold, and his oath surged like a sharp knife, sharp and extremely sharp.

"Don't come with me!"

Lei Hu said indifferently: "If you really want to find death, I don't mind fulfilling you!" ”

The atmosphere of the tent suddenly became tense, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, as if it would explode at the slightest trigger.

Song Que had a trace of murderous intent in his heart, and he really wanted to attack Lei Hu with a knife, so that he knew the power of the Heavenly Knife, and he was not a bully!

It's just that......

Lei Hu put a lot of pressure on him, knowing that he was not an opponent at the moment, his heart was full of unwillingness and helplessness, but there was nothing he could do.

Lack of strength is lack of strength, and there is no point in saying more!

"General Lei, you have such a strong strength, why are you still messing around with the demon concubine?"

With a long exhale, suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Song Que said in a deep voice: "Knowing that the Northern Dynasty will definitely not let go of the demon concubine, you are still mixed up with her?" ”

There is no exit for the latter words, but the meaning is already quite obvious.

He believes that Lei Hu continues to mix with the demon concubine Zhang Lihua, and it will definitely be indispensable to the crazy blow of the main force of the Sui army, and he may not be able to withstand it at that time.

"Song Quan, if I give up Concubine Zhang directly, how will I gain a foothold in the south in the future?"

Lei Hu sneered: "Don't just think about the disadvantages, the existence of Concubine Zhang is not without the slightest benefit to me, on the contrary, there are many benefits!" ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to his nose and said with a smile: "How did I get the position of General Zhennan, at least nominally the leader of the Chen Army, how convenient it is to act in such a name, you can't be unclear!" ”

Song Que smiled and didn't speak, the meaning was already revealed in his expression.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you!"

Regarding Song Que's disdainful attitude, Lei Hu smiled disappreciatively: "I also want to gain a foothold in the south, and even get a piece of land to be a soil emperor!" ”

"Isn't General Lei afraid that the Sui army will not agree?"

Song Que was taken aback, if this was the case, then some of Lei Hu's behaviors would be understandable, but he was very unhappy in his heart, there was always a rush to meet the enemy.

He was originally born in the lineage of the Lingnan Song Valve, one of the four major valves in the world, and with his strength and prestige at this time, it would not be long before he took over the position of the owner of the Lingnan Song Valve.

At present, the Sui Dynasty's unification of the world has become unstoppable, although Song Que is dissatisfied in his heart, but it has not yet reached the point of dizziness, what he should do now is to seek the transcendent status of the Lingnan Song Dynasty, at least without the jurisdiction and control of the Sui Dynasty.

Not only that, but after the Lingnan Song Valve had a transcendent status that was not under jurisdiction, it was natural to continue to develop its power, and the southern land was regarded by the Song Que as the natural foundation of the Song Valve.

Right now, Lei Hu actually said that he would also establish a foundation in the south, which is not fun.

With the strength of Lei Hu, even the Lingnan Song Valve can't suppress it, at least Song Que is not sure that he can lead the army in battle, and he can suppress Lei Hu in terms of personal martial arts.

If he knew that Lei Hu's ability to govern the place was just as powerful, I was afraid that he would not be able to sit still at all.

"So what?"

Lei Hu sneered: "Fight a few victories, let the Sui army know that it is powerful, in order to avoid major losses, I believe that the Sui Emperor will make the right decision!" ”

"Are you going to base yourself on Taihu Lake?"

Song Que was speechless, and after a while, he said: "This is not far from the Yangtze River, and it is not a place to establish a foundation at all!" ”

"Hehe, it's precisely because this place is not a foundation that it is more likely to succeed!"

Lei Hu smiled and said, "As long as I have the area of Qiantang County and Taihu Lake, I will see how to fight for it!" ”

"You're not afraid that I'll leak it out and make your plan completely fail?"

Song Que said suddenly: "I don't want to have more strong competitors like you in the south!" ”

"If I can't get along anymore, it's a big deal to defect to the Sui Dynasty, so I won't have no place to live!"

Lei Hu didn't care, and said with a smile: "Maybe Emperor Sui plans to call me to deal with the Lingnan Song Valve at that time, it will be interesting if you really want to do that!" ”

Funny fart!

Song Que could see that Lei Hu was definitely not a good bird, and he even said that he had defected to the Sui Dynasty openly, which made him feel quite unhappy.

But it is impossible to say that it is not worried about Lei Hu's words to become a fact, if the Sui Dynasty has a strong man like Lei Hu to join, its strength will be even higher.

Not only is the national strength strong, but the suppression of the rivers and lakes will also be much stronger.

Lei Hu alone can almost withstand the strength of a master of the Jianghu Gate Sect, and can help Emperor Sui suppress the northern gate valve family and completely stabilize the foundation and rule, this is not the result that Song Que, who is bent on restoring the Han Dynasty, is willing to see.

The lesser of two evils!

Rather than having such a bad situation, it is better to let Lei Hu successfully establish a foundation in the south and become the emperor of Taihu Lake and Qiantang.

Despite this, the Lingnan Song Dynasty will have one more strong competitor in the future to develop its influence in the south, but it is always better than directly strengthening the foundation and force of the Sui Dynasty, right?

After thinking about it, at this time, Lei Hu was mixed with the demon concubine Zhang Lihua and the prince of Nanchen, which was quite beneficial to Song Que.

At least, even if Emperor Sui gave Lei Hu and Prince Nanchen a chance to breathe because he took care of the casualties of the army, and there was still a small territory, he would treat them to death, and he would not allow them to have the opportunity to expand and develop their power at all.

This is indeed a good thing for Song Que, who is about to take over the position of the lord of the Lingnan Song valve.

The thought of tossing suddenly disappeared in his heart, and he did not plan to continue to find the trouble of the demon concubine Zhang Lihua, their existence was quite beneficial to the Lingnan Song Valve to reduce the attention from the Sui army.

This meeting naturally ended unhappily, and Song Que did not continue to hide in Gusu to sneak attack the demon concubine Zhang Lihua, but returned directly to Lingnan to take over the power of the Song lord and deal with the upcoming Sui army crusade.

Lei Hu didn't know what he was doing, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.

At this time, the situation in the south had completely collapsed, Jiankang was broken by the Sui army, and the news of the death of Chen Shubao, the lord of Chen, also spread to the entire south for the first time, and everyone who had some forces and doors knew this amazing news.

The situation in the Taihu Lake area under the control of Lei Hu is better, after all, the demon concubine Zhang Lihua and the prince of Nanchen are here, and it is not a problem to stabilize the situation with tens of thousands of troops stationed.

But the rest of the South is different, it's a mess.

The effect of the royal flag erected in the Taihu Lake area is limited, and the forces and talents who are still loyal to the Nanchen court in their hearts have basically been gathered, and the other forces are naturally acting as local emperors.

Although there is only one world-famous gate valve in Lingnan Song on Nanchen's side, there are not a few scholars and families from all over the country, and there are many ambitious people.

'There are many kings in the pool, and the temple is small and the demon is big', which is the current situation of Nan Chen.

The population under the control of the imperial court is less than three million, and even if you add the hidden population of the Shi clan and the barbarian tribes in the mountains and forests, the total population will not exceed five million.

With such a small population, scattered in the vast southern land, there are all kinds of strange people and forces, and there are those who are confused, and even when they just heard the information that Uncle Chen and Uncle Chen were hung up, they didn't ask if the royal family of Nan Chen still had any bloodline left, so they couldn't wait to raise the royal flag and stand on their own.

There are also many people who wait and see the wind and ride on the wall, which stirs up a miasma of smoke and chaos in the entire southern territory, creating a lot of obstacles for the Sui army to occupy the Nanchen territory.

Yang Su saw that this would not work, the main force of the Southern Expedition army was pulled in the Taihu Lake area and could not move, and it was necessary to guard against and suppress the threat of the Thunder Tiger Department, and it would definitely not work if there were fewer soldiers and horses.

However, the entire territory of Nanchen is vast, and the rest of the Sui army crossing the river is scattered, although they can still suppress the local forces in Nanchen with their strength, but it is more difficult to completely eliminate the opposition forces and occupy the territory of various places.

The longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it became to the Sui army, after all, they were guest troops, and they were not familiar with the environment and terrain in the south of the Yangtze River, and at this time, the southern boundary was full of primitive jungles, which was quite unfavorable to the development of the Sui army.

Yang Su is very embarrassed, the Thunder Tiger Department is like a nail in the Taihu Lake area, if you don't pull it out, there will be endless troubles, and if you want to pull it out, you need to pay a lot of price.

No way, as a smart person, he naturally won't take the initiative to take such a responsibility, so put the matter on Yang Guang, the commander of the Chen Sui Army, and of course, Yang Su, who had already reorganized his soldiers and horses before that, was ready to fight another battle with the Chen Army of the Thunder Tiger Department.
