At the beginning, Fang Xuanzao's strategy for Li Mi was to give up the Central Plains, jump out of the quagmire of war, avoid the Great Sui Dynasty with the peak of soldiers, and pour all his troops to the south of the Yangtze River, that is, to divide the southeast and let the world form a three-legged trend of Sui, Tang and Wei. If the Sui army attacked Wei, Li Yuan, out of his own interests, would attack Guanzhong and Heluo from the west, even if he did not need Li Mi's persuasion, in order to force the Great Sui to withdraw.

This is actually a copy of Wei Shu Wu and Zhou Qi Chen, the three-legged stand is the most stable, and the confrontation situation is as short as Wei Shu Wu lasted for decades, and long as the Northern and Southern Dynasties and Zhou Qi Chen, which were divided for more than 300 years.

After Li Mi moved to the south, he first faced Li Zitong, Shen Faxing, and Jianghuai Du Fuwei, who were entrenched in the south, and then went to Yuzhang Lin Shihong, Yongjia Meng Haigong, and Jingyang Xiao Milling.

Although there are many large and small forces in the south, there are very few enemies, so Li Mi made amazing progress after going south, first trapped Jiangdu with 200,000 troops, and then opened up to Li Zitong the favorable conditions of King Wu and his subordinates, but Li Zitong wanted the right to be independent, how could Li Mi, who was already surrounded by mountains, agree? So let the army take turns to storm Jiangdu, Li Zitong was outnumbered, had no choice but to surrender the city, honestly became the king of Wu and his subordinates, and in accordance with Li Mi's order, let the garrison of Piling accept Li Mi's reorganization, so that Li Mi easily got Jiangdu and the two counties of Piling, as well as Li Zitong's 40,000 army, and successfully based in the south.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mi ordered Wang Bodang to lead an army of 50,000 to attack Shen Faxing's Xuancheng, Shen Faxing personally led 30,000 elite soldiers, sent troops from Wu County to rescue, and walked to the Pheasant Mountain on the Great Wall of Wu County, was annihilated by Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji, who were ambushed here, and then used Shen Faxing's head to successfully incorporate the army of Shen Faxing of Wu County, Xuancheng and Yuhang.

It took less than three months to annex and annihilate Li Mi, who annihilated the princes of the two roads, and a large area of land in the eastern part of Jianghuai fell into the hands of Li Mi, but when Li Mi attacked the western part of Jianghuai, he suffered a heavy setback, when the Wei army attacked Danyang, Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou defeated Wang Bodang and Shan Xiongxin in Jiangning, annihilated more than 60,000 Wei troops, and the second general led the remnants of the army to retreat to Danjiang and flee back to Jiangdu.

But this battle also cost Du Fuwei's army a heavy price, with the loss of more than 30,000 troops, and even Fu Gongyou was seriously wounded; The disastrous Du Fuwei could not deal with the powerful Li Mi, had to follow the advice of Fu Gongyou, gave up the two counties of Liyang and Danyang, retreated to Lujiang, and then led Xiao Mi's troops into Hefei, and Li Mi confronted Hefei, although the two sides did not have a big war, the small fight was continuous, in general, Du Fuwei and Xiao Miao's army, which occupied a favorable area, won more and lost less, and successively killed nearly 30,000 Wei troops, causing the Wei army to shrink to before going south.

At this time, Lin Shihong, who had been suppressed by Du Fuwei and Xiao Mo for a long time, declared his allegiance to Li Mi, accepted the title of the king of Chu, and launched an offensive against Du Fuwei from the direction of Jiujiang, but he fell into the plan of Cen Wenwen under Xiao Miao, and was sent back to Yuzhang, and even Jiujiang fell into the hands of Xiao Mi.

And Li Mi's strength in the south also threatened Meng Haigong, and he concentrated his forces on Huiji, although he did not make a move, but also forced Li Mi to draw out 40,000 troops to sit in Yuhang, which also indirectly helped Du Fuwei to share part of the pressure.

Because the situation in the world is clear, Du Fuwei knew that the opportunity to compete in the world had been missed, and he did not have much ambition, so he accepted the surrender of the Great Sui and was appointed as the head of the Jianghuai soldiers and horses, the Zhuguo, and the prince of Liyang County, but since he heard Fu Gongyou say that the Tang Dynasty was bait for the king of Chu to surrender, he did not dare to receive such a high title, so he demoted himself by one level, and when he interacted with the Sui envoy, he regarded himself as the prince of Jiangning County.

Early in the morning.

As soon as Du Fuwei got up, he ran to the mansion of Fu Gongyou, who was seriously injured in Danyang, and the injuries were repeated and in danger many times, but with a strong foundation, he came from death many times, but he has not gotten rid of the danger so far.

Fu Gongyou was lying on a large soft couch, his face was like pale gold, and he was so thin that he was only skinny and boneless. He was hit by Wang Bodang's hidden arrow on the battlefield, his backbone had been broken, and the broken bone hurt his internal organs, and this serious injury almost killed him on the spot.

Du Fuwei knew that his brother's injury was a fatal injury, and he was able to hold on until now, in addition to his strong physique, he also had an amazing will, although he persevered until now, but this injury was devouring his brother's vitality day by day, and it had reached the time when the oil ran out. Although there have been serious differences, they have shared weal and woe since childhood, and they have worked hard step by step to get to where they are today, and that deep brotherhood is indelible from any contradictions and differences.

Du Fuwei sat lightly on the side of the bed, held Fu Gongyou's hand tightly, looked at his brother's thin and sallow face, and his heart ached like a knife for a while, and the big tears fell on Fu Gongyou's hand.

Fu Gongyou woke up slowly, he tried to open his eyes, and when he saw that it was his righteous brother who arrived, he smiled hard: "Manly man, bleeding without tears, you are like this, if you let the children see it, won't you make them laugh?" ”

"Big brother, when will you be able to stand up in a dignified manner? The younger brother really can't live without the eldest brother. Duvowe choked up.

Fu Gongyou sighed slightly, and said intermittently: "I can't do it, death is not a sin for me now, it is a relief." It's you that I can't rest assured. Alas! ”

Fu Gongyou slowly closed his eyes, tried to regain a little strength, and said: "Now that the situation in the world is clear, whether it is Xiao Miao, Dou Jiande, Meng Haigong, or us, they are all insignificant small forces in front of the three major forces of Sui, Tang, and Wei; Li Zitong is the best example, this person is generous and can win the heart of the soldiers, but the end of vainly trying to fight Li Mi is to ashes, Li Mi's intentions are obvious, that is, he wants to make the three-legged situation repeat, which is the result that Emperor Shengwu never wants to see, so he must cut off one foot before Tang and Wei really form an alliance, so that the Three Kingdoms will become a duel between the two powers. The rear of Emperor Shengwu of the Sui Dynasty is stable, there are no worries, and now he has successfully established himself in Henan, it is estimated that it will not be long before he will have a decisive battle with Li Yuan in Nanyang, if the Tang army is defeated again, only to retreat to Bashu, at that time, it will not be too long for the Sui Dynasty to re-unify the world. So it was wise for you to decide to surrender to the Sui Dynasty in the first place, but I would like to advise you to ......"

"Big brother, please speak." Du Fuwei clenched Fu Gongyou's hand and asked softly.

At this time, Fu Gongyou's spirit seemed to be a little better, he grabbed Du Fuwei's hand and said hurriedly: "Your prestige in Jianghuai is too great, you must leave here in the future, don't lead the troops, give the opportunity to Kan Ling and Wang Xiongdan, these two children are young and capable, as long as they make meritorious contributions, you will be safe in the second half of your life." ”

Du Fuwei nodded solemnly, "I listen to my eldest brother, if the Sui army arrives, I will immediately hand over the military power and go to Luoyang to face the saint, I don't want this Jianghuai governor!" If Emperor Shengwu has a bad attitude, I will take the opportunity to resign from all positions and become a rich man. ”

"If you think so, I'm relieved!" Fu Gongyou smiled with relief.

Du Fuwei was about to speak, but there was a report from his own soldiers outside the door, "General, there is a businessman surnamed Zhang outside, who claims to have visited the general in Liyang." ”

Du Fuwei frowned slightly, thought about it for a while, and then understood, and said to Fu Gongyou: "It must be Zhang Xuan, the envoy sent by Emperor Shengwu last time. ”

He easily opened Fu Gongyou's thin hand, "I know how to go, eldest brother doesn't have to worry about anything, just recuperate with peace of mind, and our brothers will go back to their hometown to live in the future." ”

He turned around and got up, but Fu Gongyou grabbed him tightly, his eyes full of reluctance and worry.

Du Fuwei's heart ached, and he smiled reluctantly, "Big brother, I'll move in with big brother later." I heard that there is a miracle doctor named Sun Simiao in Dasui, who can disembowelment and save people. Zhang Xuan came at the right time, I asked him to pass the word on my behalf, I don't want anything, as long as Emperor Shengwu asks Sun Simiao to come to treat my eldest brother. ”

After he finished speaking, with a slight effort, he broke free of Fu Gongyou's hand and walked out quickly.

Fu Gongyou looked at Du Fuwei, his eyes became dark, and he whispered the word 'Zhangqiu'.

……

Du Fuwei's office was next to the Fu Gongyou Mansion, and after he hurried there, he asked, "Where is Mr. Zhang?" ”

"Back to the general, people are in the living room." The guards replied respectfully.

"I see!"

Du Fuwei strode towards the meeting room, he knew that Zhang Xuan was now the head of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Sui, his status was unusual, he was one of the core officials of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Tong sent such a person at this time, there must be a major matter to negotiate.

In the room, Zhang Xuanzheng, who was in the dust, waited patiently, he said that after Dou Jiande was demoted, he planned to return to the court to hand over the decree, but he was the only person who had dealings with Du Fuwei, so he was sent to talk to Du Fuwei in detail, and Zhang Xuan, who received the order, looked quite haggard and even looked very embarrassed.

Compared with Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei must be easier, because he had already descended to the Great Sui, but Zhang Xuan received some information sent by Xiao Zuo one after another on the way, saying that Du Fuwei and Li Mi had not fought for a while, so he must take it seriously.

While he was thinking, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and Du Fuwei walked in with an anxious face.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly got up and saluted: "I've seen Liyang Gong!" ”

Du Fuwei waved his hand and interrupted: "That's what I want to say, I don't want this Liyang County Duke." ”

"This ......" Zhang Xuan was stunned because he didn't understand what Du Fuwei meant.

"Zhang Shilang, please take a seat, let's sit down and talk."

Zhang Xuan sat down in confusion and looked at Du Fuwei in confusion, Du Fuwei sighed: "I was frustrated when I was young, and I didn't know how to make a living, and I couldn't even support myself, so I often stole things for a living. People are self-aware, what virtue do I have and how can I dare to be called the county prince? I decided to give up the county prince and the Zhu country, and temporarily take charge of Jianghuai, hoping that Zhang Shilang can tell the saint. ”

When Zhang Xuan heard this, he felt ridiculous, it turned out that Du Fuwei didn't think the position was low, but felt that the title was too high, but as long as it wasn't a reversal, it would be easy to do, he smiled slightly and said: "I can tell the saint, but I think it's better for you to write by yourself." ”

"It's good!" After this reminder, Du Fuwei also felt that his book could show his sincerity more, looked at Zhang Xuan, who was much more embarrassed than the last time, and asked: "Looking at Zhang Shilang's appearance in the dust, it must be a long journey, day and night, is there an urgent matter?" ”

"The Holy Lord is preparing to attack Li Mi, hoping that the general will cooperate in the battle from the south." Zhang Xuanqing knew that the generals liked to go straight and did not go around in circles, so he handed the letter that Yang Tong passed to him through the letter eagle to Du Fuwei.

Du Fuwei took it and read it carefully, Yang Tong said very clearly in the letter, he really wanted him to cooperate with the Sui army to attack Li Mi, and he asked in surprise: "I heard that the Holy Lord is going to attack Li Yuan?" How did you become Li Mi again? ”

"I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly!" Zhang Xuan smiled and explained: "It's not a secret, Luoyang's actions are just a cover-up. ”

"I see!" Du Fuwei suddenly realized, he thought about it again, looked at Zhang Xuan, and said very embarrassed: "As far as I know, the main army of the imperial court is all in the Nanyang area; And I only have about 80,000 troops now, and I am really not Li Mi's opponent alone; As for Xiao Miao's army, it's okay to fight a tailwind battle, but if it is a tough battle, it can't be relied on at all! Do you know? In the Battle of Danyang, Xiao Miao's army was my left flank, but when the battle was deadlocked, this gang of bastards immediately broke and fled, which not only shook the morale of the army, but also dispersed the rear army, forcing me to use reserve troops in advance, otherwise, how could I win so badly. ”

Speaking of the battle of Danyang, Du Fuwei's eyes breathed fire, if it wasn't for this group of soft eggs, the righteous brother would not have fallen for Wang Bodang's plot; What made him even more mad was that the number of enemies destroyed in this battle was only 50,000, and he who won actually paid the price of 70,000 elites.

"If the Holy Lord asks me to beat Li Mi, I will definitely obey my orders, but I'd rather do it alone than Xiao Miao's group of soft eggs to participate. Oh, please ask Zhang Shilang to tell the saint, just say that this is my only condition for Du Fuwei. ”

Looking at Du Fuwei, who was thunderous, Zhang Xuan knew that he was afraid of Xiao Miaokeng, but he understood it when he thought about it. If the role of the friendly army is to clean up the hind legs, and it is him Zhang Xuan, he will also be grateful to Bumin

"Xiao Mo will not directly participate in the battle this time, his army is only responsible for containing Lin Shihong, and General Du's role here is to cooperate, not to attack."

Du Fuwei was overjoyed when he heard this, but a new question came again, he hesitated for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "In addition to the direction of Yingchuan, is there still an army available in the imperial court?" ”

Zhang Xuanluo groaned, and then decided to reveal to Du Fuwei, and said: "Don't hide it from the general, Dou Jiande has surrendered now, but in order to confuse the enemy army, this has been kept secret, as long as the preparation is sufficient, at least 150,000 male soldiers will enter Li Mi's territory with a thunderous force." ”

"Then I'm relieved!" Du Fuwei was overjoyed, if you add his 70,000 troops, there are 220,000 people, which is enough to cause a fatal impact on Li Mi, the Great Sui Xiong soldiers can fight well, never defeated, they are famous for their ability to fight today, and such an iron-blooded army cooperates, he has no problem at all, he asked again: "I don't know when to send troops?" ”

"The meaning of the saint is very clear, the main battlefield will be fought by the division of the imperial court, and when it is about the same, the general will be sent troops." Zhang Xuan said slowly.

These words aroused Du Fuwei's arrogance, and he said loudly: "My Du Fuwei's army may not be as good as the hundred battles of the imperial court, but it is not a bad breed. The Holy One must be underestimating us. ”

"General Du, please don't get excited!" Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, "The Holy Lord does not despise General Du, but does not want our clan comrades to have too much sacrifice, so he uses 50,000 foreign slave soldiers to serve as death squads, these slave soldiers are all fierce people, at least they can consume Li Mi's 50,000 army, if it is not enough, transfer another 50,000." ”

Although Zhang Xuan said it quite plainly, it made Du Fuwei feel cold, and a cold breath went straight to his heart, the death squad has existed since ancient times, and the same is true in this dynasty, but it is unprecedented to use 50,000 people to take on it.

This stroke is also amazing!

Da Sui is so desperate, who can stand it?

For a while, Du Fuwei was extremely glad that he had made the right choice, and he was stunned for a long time before he woke up from the shock, and he said solemnly: "Please tell the Holy Lord that my 70,000 army will fight with all its might." ”

"Okay, General Du's decision, I will definitely report it truthfully"

After finishing the business, Du Fuwei got up and saluted Zhang Xuan, and couldn't wait to say: "Zhang Shilang, I have something to request!" Please help me out. ”

Zhang Xuan hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile: "Although General Du speaks, we will be ministers of the same palace in the future, and I will do my best to help those who can." ”

"I heard that the miracle doctor Sun Simiao has a ......" Just as Du Fuwei was about to make a request, a soldier broke in from outside the door, knelt on the ground and cried: "General, Fu Bo he, he is gone!" ”

"Big brother!" Duvowe screamed and fainted in pain.

[Note: Fu Gongyou is old, and Du Fuwei treats him like a father and brother, so the soldiers in the army respectfully call Fu Gongyou an assistant uncle (a uncle), and fear him like Du Fuwei. 】
