Li Zitong finally retreated. After meeting Qu Tutong, he lost consecutive battles. Qin Qiong finally arrived at the southern edge of Taihu Lake, north of Du Fuwei's 50,000 troops were watching the south bank of the Yangtze River. He prepared to wipe out all Li Zitong's army here in one go.

However, Li Zitong did not do as the wishes of the army. After several consecutive defeats, he took advantage of the winter break and directly slid away from the mouth of the Yangtze River and headed straight for the Ryukyu islands.

Not only did he take away all the 70,000 soldiers under his command, but he also moved nearly 500,000 people away. Of course, he did not speak kindly, but dragged away all the coaxing and scaring, plus more than 300,000 people he had taken away before.

Nowadays, almost half of the people in the Taihu area have been reduced. As for those aristocratic families, none of them are left, and they are all moved away by Li Zitong.

"The Taihu area was originally a prosperous place in Jiangnan. There were no wars all year round, which made all industries prosperous. The original people had nearly 1.8 million. Now, more than 800,000 have been moved away, and the remaining population is less than one million." Du Ruhui said with a heartache expression.

"It's really despicable that he dares to coerce the people," Wei Yunqi also said angrily with anger, but this young master caught a hint of secret joy from his eyes. It seems that this guy also knows how much benefit Li Zitong's actions will be for the future development of the Chinese Empire.

Think about it, how could Li Zitong's power be able to transport all the hundreds of thousands of people away? In other words, it was thanks to my young master's fleet that helped me a lot. Of course, Li Zitong was looking for coastal maritime merchants, and my young master's fleet took advantage of the opportunity to join it. Not only did it help transport more than 300,000 people, but it also transported more than a thousand meticulous workers and secret traitors together.

Li Zitong's idea was that he could not stay in the mainland anymore, so he went overseas to continue to be king. It was better than staying in Jiangnan and being attacked from both sides. Although overseas was a little barren, it could support people after all. And there was no big power.

As early as when Li Zitong was about to migrate, he had already sent 30,000 troops across the sea and picked out the largest forces among the Ryukyu islands. Now they can only surrender obediently to Li Zitong's tyranny. When it comes to the future, the Chinese Revival Army of the Chinese Empire will appear in front of these conquerors and conquered people in the form of a savior, so that they can feel the beauty and kindness of the Chinese Empire.

What’s important is that in the future, these more than 800,000 people and more than 100,000 Li Zi’s army will become another great help for the Chinese Empire to explore overseas islands.

"Your Majesty, I should challenge you as soon as possible to save those people who were forced to displace... "A minister who did not know the truth jumped out and expressed their opinions to me. In this regard, this young master could only roll his eyes secretly.

Then he stood up and expressed strong indignation at Li Zitong's behavior, believing that Li Zitong's actions were simply a crime that Taotian did not shame, and even hurt the sincere feelings of the general public.

In short, the Chinese Empire expressed the strongest protests on this and reserved the right to use force in the end. Anyway, it was just a mess to appease all officials and the people, so that they knew that this young master would never let Li Zitong go.

At this time, Du Fuwei sent an envoy to order Fu Gonghu to lead his army south and station in Jiangnan. However, Fu Gonghu pushed left and right to block it. Du Fuwei was furious and ordered General Miao Haichao to lead 50,000 troops into Huaibei.

But unexpectedly, Fu Gonghu finally moved, and he was very moved. He directly led the three counties in Huaibei and 100,000 Huai army soldiers to surrender to Dou Jiande and was named King of Huai. In just half a month, 100,000 Xia army entered Huaibei and cooperated with Fu Gonghu's army to defeat Miao Haichao. After Miao Haichao was captured, he refused to surrender and was ordered to be executed by Liu Heita.

For a moment, the Jianghuai was shocked. Du Fuwei almost vomited three liters of blood, intending to lead the army to aid himself, but was blocked by Qu Tutong. Du Fuwei was indeed not a power-loving person. After Qu Tutong's army arrived in Jiangdu, he offered the command of the Jianghuai army.

Qu Tutong issued an edict, appointing Du Fuwei as King of Jiangdu, and also reorganized the remaining 200,000 Jianghuai troops, and he was responsible for the work. He sent Qin Qiong and Li Jing to the northern part of Jianghuai to block the enemy.

The two sides fought many times in the Huai River area, but it was difficult to decide the outcome. In addition, the inland waters of the Huai River were cruising here, making the Xia army and the Jianghuai rebels dare not go south easily. Finally, a stalemate was formed.

I was very dissatisfied with this ending. I originally thought that Fu Gongfu could get 30,000 to 50,000 troops away, but what I didn't expect was that that guy was indeed very good, with 100,000 Jianghuai soldiers, and they all rushed to Dou Jiande with him.

As a result, Dou Jiande's power suddenly increased. Fortunately, Li Zitong's territory was already under my control by the Chinese Revival Army. There was no rival in the Jiangnan area, otherwise, it would be very likely that Dou Jiande would be plagiarized by the back path during the southern battle.

However, the two elite field troops of the Chinese Revival Army, coupled with Qu Tutong, Li Jing and Qin Qiong, the famous generals of the Chinese Empire Revival Army, also had 200,000 Jianghuai Army, so Dou Jiande did not dare to act rashly.

However, what made me speechless was that Luo Yi's idiot, since defeating Dou Jiande once, conquered the counties and counties around Youzhou. After the power grew, he began to become arrogant.

Just when Fu Gongfu turned to Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande sent Liu Heita to command an army of 100,000 to the Jianghuai River, intending to capture Shanggu County, which was occupied by Dou Jiande. Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun tried hard to persuade each other.

Luo Yi was very impatient and thought that the two brothers had no desire to fight, so he asked them to station in Beiping County in case of the Khitans who occupied Yan County and Liucheng County by taking advantage of the demise of the Sui Dynasty. He led his own army of 60,000 to fight against Hejian County in the south.

It took Luo Yi half a month to take Hejian County. While he was hesitating whether to withdraw his troops, Xu Yuanlang led a large army to help and fought with Luo Yi at the Hejian City for three days. Gao Shixing led 50,000 elite troops to go north and headed straight to Youyan.

Luo Yi, who received the news, was shocked and led his troops to retreat overnight, but was repeatedly chased and attacked by Xu Yuanlang. In the end, Luo Yi gritted his teeth and left behind a general who led 20,000 troops to stop the pursuers. He led the main force back to Youyan.

Unfortunately, Gao Shixing did not really attack Yanyou, but walked west along the Juma River halfway, and ambushed at the Juma River ferry for two days and two nights. Finally, Luo Yi rushed over desperately. Then, when Luo Yi's army was halfway through, 50,000 troops arrived and rushed for hundreds of miles in a row. The exhausted and 40,000 troops met the 50,000 ambushed soldiers who were waiting for their leisure.

Moreover, there were 20,000 troops still staying on the south bank of Juma River, while Xu Yuanlang's 50,000 troops had already surrounded him. In despair, Luo Yi wanted to commit suicide, but was blocked by his subordinates and eventually surrendered to Dou Jiande.

The Youyan land occupied by Luo Yi was all under Dou Jiande's hands. When Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun learned of Luo Yi's defeat, they immediately found the hidden line ambushing in Beiping County. Fortunately, our fleet was in the estuary of the Yellow River at that time, and immediately headed north as soon as they received the news.

Seven days later, the Xue brothers, together with their families and more than a thousand troops who were willing to follow them, boarded the sea boat and headed south.

After Dou Jiande forced Luo Yi to surrender and surrender to Fu Gonghu, his strength once again expanded. Now, there are more than 20 counties, with 500,000 troops and 1,000 generals. The heyday of the Xia Kingdom has arrived.

"This idiot Luo Yi, who is still not protected by self-protection, is he still thinking about attacking Dou Jiande. Isn't this going into the cottage with a lantern?" The young man glared at him in anger, poking the map hanging in the military conference hall and said angrily.

The civil and military ministers also looked very gloomy in their expressions. Dou Jiande's strength was greatly expanded. This is not what we hope to see. After all, after this guy's strength increased greatly, he would naturally not be willing to live in Shandong, Hebei, and he was afraid that his ambition would expand with his strength.

In this way, unless the heroes of the Central Plains unite against the enemy Dou Jiande, these guys will definitely finish the game. Even if they have a place in Henan and have taken over Wang Shichong, who has taken down Wagang Village, they will not be Dou Jiande's opponent.

But is the question possible? In their eyes, the strength of our Chinese dynasty is better than that of Dou Jiande, so they are more willing to unite with Dou Jiande than to be hostile to him.

"Yes, if Luo Yi relies on the advantage of the territory of Youyan, Dou Jiande will be difficult to take over, but Luo Yi is so aggressive. Now, he has gained and lost money. Not only has he been captured by himself, but he is also completely lost to Dou Jiande's hands." Wei Yunqi shook his head frequently here, as if his father saw a prodigal child using meat buns to smash the dog.

"Fortunately, Brother Xue Wanche ran in time, otherwise, maybe the brothers would have to fall into Dou Jiande's hands." Han Shiye shook his head next to him and said with great gratitude.

"Well, fortunately, the personnel of our intelligence agency found it in time and knew the Xue brothers as soon as possible, so that they had time to transfer their families. Otherwise, the consequences would be difficult to predict."

"Now, Shandong, Hebei, and even Huaibei are all in the hands of Dou Jiande. Its strength is getting stronger and stronger. No one in the Central Plains is his opponent. Gong Tang is in danger." Yang Gongren shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"At present, Duke Tang has ordered Li Shentong to lead his army to garrison in Hengyang, just to block the enemy from Shanxi, but in my opinion, it is really a bit lingering." Wei Yunqi looked at the sand table and his eyes fell on Li Yang's place.

"Although Li Shentong is talented, it is indeed too dangerous to rely on the 50,000 troops in his hands to defend Li Yang to compete with Dou Jiande's hundreds of thousands of new victorious troops. Why didn't Tang Duke send talented people like Li Xiaogong or Li Shimin to him?"
