General Qin Qiong reported the news of the surrender of the Turks, with an excited tone in his tone.

"These guys finally gave in."

Emperor Luo Cheng was looking down at an expedited memorial, "The surrender of the Turks was expected, and they were trapped here and could not fly, unless they were really ready to shed the last drop of blood here, but obviously, the Turks did not have this determination."

"Is something happened?" Qin Qiong didn't seem too happy to see the emperor.

"It's Du Fuwei." The emperor sighed.

"It's not that Du Fuwei has rebelled, right?" Qin Qiong speculated with some concern. It was rumored that Wang Junguo was planning to rebel and contacted important officials everywhere, and it is said that Du Fuwei was involved.

The emperor shook his head, Du Fuwei did not rebel, but Du Fuwei suffered a great defeat in Jiangnan.

"Du Fuwei lost Jiangdu."

Qin Qiong was shocked, "How is that possible?"

Yes, how is it possible? Now that the Great Qin is at its peak, the anti-kings of the whole world are no match for the Great Qin. This battle in the north can be regarded as the last chance of the kings, but when they unite and pull Jie Li Khan up, they will not be the opponent of the Great Qin.

Even the strongest anti-kings in the north were defeated, so how could Jianghuai go on a business trip?

Du Fuwei has the title of King of Jianghuai at least, how could he lose at this time?

"Who can make Du Fuwei capsized?"

"Li Zitong!"

Qin Qiong thought about it and felt that he had some impression of this person, "Your Majesty, do you remember that this person has already joined the court?"

"Indeed, I have been surrendered to the court before, but who would have thought that this time I would rebel again. Not only did I rebel, but I also caught Du Fuwei off guard."

If Li Zitong rebelled, it was actually different from Liu Wuzhou and the others. Li Zitong was from Pengcheng. During the Daye period, he first ran to Changbaishan, Luo Cheng's old family, and defected to Wang Bo, the earliest thief army here, and became the first thief army here. Later, Wang Bo and the others were defeated and fled, and Li Zitong defected to a new boss, who was Zuo Caixiang.

He also made many contributions to Zuo Caixiang. Later, Zuo Caixiang got Li Mi's help and steered the Central Plains. He ran to Shannan, Huaixi to proclaim himself emperor. Zuo Caixiang was generous to others and had great prestige in the army. As a result, Zuo Caixiang was suspicious of Zuo Caixiang and was forced to leave and start a new job.

He led a group of old brothers to travel around, from Shannan to Huaixi, from Huaixizhong to Huaidong, and later to Jiangnan. Although this person is very capable, the overall environment is different when he works alone. It is already difficult to have a stable territory at this time.

When Luo Chengnan descended to submit to Chen Len and the Huanghuai counties were included in the Qin Dynasty, Li Zitong followed the Dachao and led his troops to surrender. He said that the court treated him well. After all, although Li Zitong had a good reputation in the world, this person had a good reputation before. It was not Zhu Can and Zhang Jin who called such a brutal bandit, who had never done anything to harm the heavens and harm the people. In addition, he took the initiative to surrender, so the court later granted him the position of Jiangdu County Magistrate.

Originally, this was also a good result. If you were to live a peaceful life, you would take advantage of the situation and enter the new dynasty's career in the future.

Li Zitong also thought so.

But the court handed over Huainan to Du Fuwei. After all, Du Fuwei worked hard in Jianghuai for many years and had no good feelings for Li Zitong, who was not a direct confidant. What's more, Li Zitong had fought several battles with Du Fuwei before joining him, and even took a lot of advantage.

Du Fuwei was nicknamed the King of Jianghuai, but he was very young after all. People in his twenties were not so smooth in the Jianghuai area a few years ago, and they suffered many defeats. Now that they have to conquer the side, their temperament cannot be as steady as a veteran. They naturally have strong promotion to their direct confidants. They will also wear some small shoes for some of their previous opponents, such as local officials and generals of the Sui Dynasty. As for those who came from a thief like Li Zitong and who had defeated him several times, they would not have a good face.

Li Zitong was also a poor man when he was young, and made a living by fishing and hunting. He was kind and generous. In the past, when he lived in the village, he would definitely serve the elderly with gray hair and support heavy objects. If he had extra wealth in his family, he would help others. However, he also had one disadvantage, that is, he was narrow-minded, had less energy, and was very straightforward, and could not tolerate sand in his eyes and could not hide his anger in his heart.

Du Fuwei made things difficult for him, so he couldn't tolerate it.

The relationship between the two sides becomes more and more rigid.

It happened that Wang Junkuo had a rebellion in the court. Although Du Fuwei did not have any accomplice, he was implicated after all. Even though the emperor wrote him a letter afterwards, saying that he would still hand over Huainan to him to guard. But even if the emperor was his elder brother-in-law and a good brother who had followed him for many years, Du Fuwei was still feeling unhappy.

He thought about how to show his loyalty to the emperor.

How to show it? Du Fuwei planned to find an opportunity to cross the Yangtze River and take down Jiangning, the important Jiangnan town of Danyang. For this reason, he ignored the grand strategy of the court and made preparations. Because he was unhappy when he saw Li Zitong, he planned to let Li Zitong lead his troops to play the vanguard, and asked Li Zitong, who was the governor of Jiangdu, to raise money and grain for ships, and set a very short period of time. If it fails to complete, it will be dealt with by military law.

The task is very heavy, the key is that many people below deliberately do not cooperate. It is obvious that they will see Li Zitong being punished.

Seeing that the matter was difficult, Li Zitong couldn't bear it anymore. After discussing with a few old brothers, he might as well go against it.

So, Li Zitong secretly planned.

On a dark and windy night, Li Zitong and his confidants led their servants to raid Du Fuwei who came to Jiangdu for inspection.

Du Fuwei was seriously injured and fell off the horse. Fortunately, the emperor's adopted son Wang Xiongdan tried to save him, and fled into the reed marsh with him on his back, and escaped.

Although Li Zitong failed to kill Du Fuwei, he also made a shot. After Du Fuwei was seriously injured and escaped, he led his troops to quickly seize Jiangdu City, and then summoned his old subordinates, which made the momentum very loud.

Li Zitong had more than 20,000 people, and simply raised the banner in Jiangdu City and called himself the King of Yue.

Then he sent his son to Shen Faxing in Jiangnan to serve as a magistrate, formed an alliance with him, and jointly resisted Qin. Shen Faxing got Li Zitong's son as a magistrate, and soon sent his son Shen Lun to lead 50,000 troops across the river to join forces with Li Zitong to attack Du Fuwei's army in Huainan.

Li Zitong seized Jiangdu County, Zhongli and Liyang counties, and simply ascended the throne, with the country's name Yue and the year's name Mingzheng.

The Danyang bandit Le Botong also relied on Li Zitong, and Li Zitong thus obtained more than 10,000 Danyang thieves.

Shen Lun led the Wu army to seize Lujiang County, and took advantage of the situation to seize Tong'an again.

At this time, Lin Shihong from Jiangxi saw the opportunity and immediately sent troops to cross the river and seize Qichun County.

Xiao Xian of Nanliang also took advantage of the situation to rob and sent troops to attack the four counties of Yong'an, Anlu and other Handong, intending to retake the four counties that had previously rebelled against Liang and Qin.

"The Liang, Chu, Yue and Wu in Jiangnan are now joining forces, all of which want to seize the land of Jiangbei when our Great Qin attacks."

"These rebels who took advantage of the situation!" Qin Qiong cursed.

Luo Cheng sighed, "In fact, Li Zitong's rebellion is unforgivable, but there are also reasons why Du Fuwei is improperly dealing with it. Now Du Fuwei is seriously injured and has returned to Pengcheng to recuperate. He has submitted a petition and resigned from his post and asked the court to send most of the other person there."

"Second brother, I plan to let you go to Jianghuai to take this burden."

Qin Qiong was stunned for a moment, "I am okay with the shooting of a cavalry, but if I talk about the Jianghuai land, I am afraid I will not get used to it."
