Lu Yi was extremely angry. First, Tong Shimin fled without fighting. He abandoned Jiangnan West Road, and then Tong Guan transferred Dong Yun's main navy force, causing the Yangtze River defense line to be in danger. Now the old emperor and Tong Guan fled again and abandoned Hangzhou. The Yangtze River defense line was attacked from both sides and was about to collapse.

Just when he was at a loss, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army attacked Wuhu and cut off the Yangtze River defense line in half. The Yangtze River defense line was basically lost and there was no room for rescue.

On the second day of the April 2, Wang Ju and Wang Dazhong led their troops across the river.

Roland, Abaddon, Helasu and Fu Xiuguo went to the riverside to greet him. After meeting, they were very happy. Who would have thought that after only three months, everyone would meet on the south bank of the Yangtze River. This speed exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Where is the Grand Marshal now? Are you attacking Hangzhou?" Wang Yan asked impatiently when he saw Roland.

"Based on the itinerary, the general has hit the city of Hangzhou." Roland smiled, "Of course, the premise is that the attack is smooth and the rebels are vulnerable."

"It's not that the rebels are vulnerable, but that the old emperor and Tong Guan of Hangzhou are vulnerable." Zhang Jun stood behind Wang Ju and laughed, "As long as they are there, the rebels will definitely be defeated but not defeated. A few years ago, the Jin thieves were as powerful as the bamboo shoot, killing Bianjing. Today, our tiger steed army was as powerful as the bamboo shoot, killing Hangzhou. History has repeated."

"Are you going well?" Wang Dazhong asked, "After you conquered Wuhu, did the rebels counterattack wildly?"

Roland, Abaddon and others shook their heads at the same time, with a look of confusion.

"Neither the rebels from Jiangning or Chizhou directions were launched." Roland said in disbelief, "I don't know what the rebels are doing? Did they give up?"

Judging from the current situation, the rebels on the Yangtze River defense line were divided into two, and the rebels in the Chizhou direction were surrounded. The rebels in the Jiangning direction were only waiting for the main force of the Tiger Lie Army to capture Hangzhou, and they were also surrounded. Both rebels could not escape.

"According to the news we have received, the rebels in Chizhou are Liu Qi and Cookie, both of whom are from the Northwest Army in the past." Luo Lan looked at Wang Ju, Zhang Jun and Liu Xi and said, "I don't know the three of you who know them?"

Zhang Jun and Liu Xi looked at Wang Ju at the same time. They were young men in the Northwest Army and had only risen in the past two years. Wang Ju is a veteran of Northwest. He must have fought side by side with Liu Qi and Cookie on the Northwest battlefield. If Roland wanted to persuade the rebels to surrender, he could only count on Wang Ju.

"Are you writing a letter or going there in person?" Wang Yu didn't say much and asked straightforwardly.

"Write a letter first," Roland smiled, "If they are willing to surrender, a letter will be enough."

That night, Wang Ju wrote a letter to Liu Qi and Cookie, urging them to surrender as soon as possible, and there is no need to fight again.

On the third day of the April 1st, Wang Ju led his army to Wuhu, while Luo Lan led his army to the north and killed Dangtu directly.

Wuhu was less than a hundred miles away from Dangtu, and the army arrived in a blink of an eye. That night, Dangtu's defenders abandoned the city and fled. They did not dare to return to Jiangning, so they simply scattered.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, after Roland took Dangtu, he continued to advance east along the river and killed Jiangning.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, Wang Yuan and Xin Xingzong led an army of 50,000 to Yangzhou to meet with Yue Fei. The two armies were ready to cross the river to fight.

After a general understanding of the situation in the southeast, Wang Yuan intended to write to Jiangning and asked Lu Yi to surrender as soon as possible. Of course, Yue Fei supported him. If he could not fight, he would not fight, and he would not want his brothers to kill each other.

Lu Yi from Jiangning received news of the fall of Hangzhou and was completely desperate. At this moment, the army was down and morale was sluggish. With the fall of Hangzhou, there were no reinforcements outside Jiangning and no money or food inside, so he could not support it at all. At this critical moment, Tong Shimin, who had retreated to Jiangning in advance, took away all the navy. It is said that he was ordered by Tong Guan to transport away a large amount of gold, silver and treasures in Changzhou, Wuxi and Suzhou.

Lu Yi was furious. Is gold, silver and treasure more important than the army? If we want to withdraw, we will use the navy's sea ship to transport the army. Tong Guan's approach angered the generals of the army, and many people directly sent people to contact the Jiangbei Tiger Army and prepared to surrender.

Wang Yuan's letter was delivered to Jiangning at this time. Lu Yi had no choice. He was desperate. Even if he didn't think about himself, he would have to find a way out for his gang of generals. So he summoned the generals in the army for only a long time to discuss and then decided to surrender.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, Lu Yi sent a letter to Wang Yuan, who was willing to lead the army to surrender. In order to cooperate with the Hu Lie Army to cross the river, Lu Yi decided to withdraw the army to Danyang and wait for the inclusion of the Hu Lie Army.

Almost at the same time, Liu Qi and Cookie also sent people to Wuhu to meet Wang Yan, accepted Wang Yan's persuasion, and led the army to surrender.

On the tenth day of April, Yue Fei and Wang Yuan commanded the army to cross the river and entered Jiangning and Dantu on the same day.

On April 12, Wang Yuan and Lu Yi met in Danyang. Lu Yi handed over the 120,000 troops to Wang Yuan and decided to get rid of the army and return to the field. He quit and went home to take care of his old age.

On the 13th, Liu Qi and Cookie led their troops to Wuhu and handed over more than 70,000 troops to Wang Ju.

At this point, all about 200,000 troops on the Yangtze River defense line surrendered.

Yue Fei hurriedly reported to Chang'an and the victory in the south. The west road was under the command of the commander of Li Hu, and the east road army successfully crossed the river, and Lu Yi, Liu Qi and others led their troops to surrender. The Yangtze River defense line had been captured. The army is currently moving south in divisions. It is estimated that by the end of this month, the army can completely occupy the two routes and Liangzhe Roads in Jiangnan.

On April 28, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army met in Hangzhou.

When they were in Jiangbei for the New Year, Li Hu, Yue Fei and others considered the difficulties of the southern expedition, but the facts were completely different from previous expectations. The Huliu Army has achieved amazing results in just over two months since it launched the attack, which was something that no one expected.

After the celebration banquet, Li Hu summoned Lu Yi, Liu Qi, Cookie and others alone. At present, Middle-earth has not been unified, and Hebei and Youyan in the north are still in the hands of the Jurchens. Fujian and Guangnan in the south are still in the hands of the rebels, and there are battles in one north and one south. Although the battle in the south is likely to end quickly without any danger, there are fierce battles in the north. Therefore, Li Hu hopes that they will stay and everyone will work together to continue fighting for the unification of Middle-earth.

The three of them felt Li Hu's sincerity. Besides, going north to fight the enemy and completing the unification of Middle-earth is also the greatest wish in the hearts of the warriors, so the three of them agreed in unison.

On April 29, Li Hu summoned the military commanders to discuss the military commanders.

The war in the south must continue to fight. We must take advantage of the victory to pursue, while the troops in the north are empty, so we must return to defend immediately to avoid the Jurchens taking the opportunity to attack.

After Li Hu discussed with everyone, he immediately decided that Mao Jun, Zhang Guanyu, Song Jiang, Wang Gui and Wu Chitian would stay in Liangzhe, and immediately led his army south to Fujian and fight in Guangnan, striving to completely resolve the Southeast issue within this year.

Yue Fei and Wang Yuan led their troops north, one returned to the Central Plains and the other returned to Shandong, trained the army, prepared for the Northern Expedition, and recovered Hebei and Youyan.

The troops heading north can leave by packing their bags. The left-behind troops not only need to stabilize the Jiangnan and Liangzhe areas, but also go south to fight, which immediately became the main topic of military discussion.

"Master General, are the Southeast troops reorganized on the spot?" Mao Jun asked a very important question. He hoped that the army could be expanded, which would be beneficial to the subsequent battle.

Li Hu pondered for a long time and shook his head, "Discondon on the spot, let them go home."

"So many troops were disbanded?" Mao Jun was slightly surprised.

"Master, it is most suitable to use the soldiers from the south to fight when they go to the south." Zhang Guanyu hurriedly advised, "Although these armies have too low combat power, they always have 10,000 or 20,000 elite troops, and they can still be used after a little training."

"Dissolve all." Li Hu's tone was unquestionable, "The court's wealth was limited and he could not afford to support so many troops. If you disband, you will be disbanded within half a month."

"Master, we still have to fight the northern expedition, attack Youyan and Liaodong. If it is not good, we will also go to the desert and the Western Regions." Wang Yuan said carefully, "We need an army. If all of them are disbanded, it may not be a pity."

"Yes, Middle-earth has not been unified yet. The war has not ended yet. At this moment, the most scarce thing for us is the army." Yue Fei also whispered.

"It's impossible for us to make a Northern Expedition this year." Li Hu sighed, "Although I'm very anxious, just like everyone's mood, the army has been fighting for several years, spending countless times, and the financial crisis is getting worse. I have to start from the overall situation and take a break for a while. Therefore, the army should not be expanded, just keep it at 500,000."

Li Hu had made up his mind, and the generals also knew that the court's financial crisis had reached a very serious point. Fortunately, the southern expedition was smooth and most of the southeast was recovered. It is estimated that the court's financial crisis would be effectively alleviated in one or two years. The most urgent task is to completely clear the rebellion and stabilize the southeast so that the court can collect sufficient taxes from the southeast as quickly as possible.

"Yang Shuai should go back as soon as possible." Li Hu pointed at Yang Keshi and said, "You have been away from the northwest for almost a year. The defense of the western front is entirely supported by Yang Weizhong alone. It is very difficult. Going back early can relieve his heavy pressure."

Yang Keshi hurriedly agreed.

Li Hu looked at Yue Fei again and said, "After you return to the Central Plains, please immediately ask Liu Guangshi and Lu Junyi to return to Hedong to help Hedong Xuanfu envoy Gao Yuan guard the Taihang defense line."

"Where is Baoshuai? Will he take the Bohai Army to Daibei?" Yue Fei asked casually.

"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, after the rainy season in the grassland, Yelu Longqing and Yelu Mage will definitely join forces with the desert to attack the Jurchens. I am worried about Daibei's safety and plan to ask Gao Baolong to take the Bohai Army to Datong, cooperate with Luo Qinghan and Tieying to pay close attention to the Daibei battlefield. Once there is a problem with the Khitans, we must take action immediately and even attack the Jin army directly if necessary."

"The Grand Marshal thinks the Khitans can hold the Jurchens in the north?" Mao Jun shook his head, with a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth, obviously looking down on the current Khitans.
