Comprehensive martial arts: Summon the thunder and lightning general, I will rule the world

Anyway, in this world, there is no need to worry about environmental pollution. As long as we do not vigorously develop various highly polluting heavy industries and chemistry, the problem will not be very big. The Zongwu Continent has a natural purification system.

Those pollutants will be diluted and purified after entering nature.

Proper development of technology is inevitable.

At least in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, this is inevitable. To be honest, he still can't adapt to this world without air conditioning, mobile phones, Internet, or games.

Although as a martial arts master, Zhu Houzhao had long been immune to the cold, he still missed the days with air conditioning.

He didn't want to develop technology before, mainly because he was worried that one day in the future, air pollution would reach a certain level, and practitioners would be poisoned by absorbing too much pollution.
This is exactly the problem that Zhu Houzhao is afraid of. Fortunately, Zongwu Continent has a natural air purification system, otherwise this problem would be huge.

As the days passed, the Ming Dynasty, under the leadership of Wu Qi, continued to attack cities and capture strongholds of the Song Dynasty with almost no pressure at all.

If the number of officials on Zhu Houzhao's side had not been insufficient, the Song Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago.

Zhao Kuangyin seemed to have noticed this situation, but he had no choice. At this point, it was no longer the time for Zhao Kuangyin to surrender, and Zhu Houzhao could not really sit idly by and watch Zhao Kuangyin surrender.

Now you want to surrender?
late!
What did you do before?
You know, Zhu Houzhao had almost destroyed the main forces of the Song Dynasty. Whether Zhu Houzhao surrendered or not would have almost no impact on the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, once Zhao Kuangyin surrendered, Zhu Houzhao would definitely have to worry about some unnecessary things and would not be able to completely destroy the Song Dynasty and rebuild it.

The existence of those guys is definitely a huge hidden danger for Zhu Houzhao. Wildfires cannot be extinguished, and they will spring up again with the spring breeze.

It would be better to get rid of them. Besides, these guys can't bring any big trouble to Zhu Houzhao now. Why not get rid of them and accept their land, property and population?
The Southern Song Dynasty seemed to know Zhu Houzhao's purpose and was still trying to resist. However, their resistance was nothing more than a child's game to Zhu Houzhao and Wu Qi. In the face of the Ming army, they had no power to fight back.

Zhu Houzhao actually hoped that those guys could gather together all the forces in the Song Dynasty that opposed the Ming Dynasty, so that Zhu Houzhao could directly catch them all in one fell swoop. Otherwise, even if Zhu ignored their continuous investigation, it would be very tiring.

Everything on Zhu Houzhao's side was proceeding step by step.

The war between the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty underwent a huge change.

Just as Zhu Houzhao and others had guessed at the beginning, Yang Guang was no match for Li Shimin.

It’s not that they look down on Yang Guang, but that Li Shimin is much better than Yang Guang.

At the beginning, Yang Guang was afraid that Li Shimin was plotting against him, so he was indeed conservative during the march.

Gao Ti can indeed be regarded as a famous general of his generation.

They did a good job in this regard, but as time went by, Yang Guang's habit of being ambitious and ostentatious came back again. He felt that Li Shimin was almost completely useless.

Without the support of the Taoist sect, coupled with the previous Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was almost destroyed. And Li Shimin was more of a boast from the Buddhist sect. It was not like him, with the support of Gao Ti, wouldn't it be easy to conquer the Tang Dynasty?
So Yang Guang chose to pursue Li Shimin's army relentlessly. During this period, he did destroy a lot of Li Shimin's main forces, about 100,000 people.

This made Yang Guang even more confident. After all, Li Shimin had only a few troops. After the Anshi Rebellion, the number of Li Shimin's troops had decreased by more than half. According to Yang Guang's estimation and investigation, Li Shimin's army now would not exceed 500,000.

Under such circumstances, would Li Shimin use an army of 100,000 as bait to lure him?
Yang Guang felt it was impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Gao Ying also had doubts at the beginning, but after learning about the situation on Li Shimin's side, even Gao Ti felt that it was impossible and believed that Li Shimin would not do such an unwise thing.

If Li Shimin really did this, the morale of the troops on his side would be affected in the future.

As a monarch who understands military affairs and is even considered by many to be one of the top ten commanders in the martial arts world, it is impossible for Li Shimin to do such a thing.

After hesitating for a while, Gao Ying decided to listen to Yang Guang, because this was indeed a huge opportunity for the Sui Dynasty. If they could succeed, the Sui Dynasty would become even more powerful, and everything in the Tang Dynasty would belong to them.

The relationship between the two sides is one of life and death. Even if they do not attack the Tang Dynasty, once the Tang Dynasty recovers a little, they will attack the Sui Dynasty.

There is nothing to say about this.

They all know what's going on.

However, as time went by, Gao Ti discovered something was wrong. Li Jing's army, which he had intelligence about before, seemed to have disappeared.

He quickly reported the matter to Yang Guang. Yang Guang was not a completely brainless emperor. Moreover, for Yang Guang, he could lose to Goguryeo, but he could never lose to Li Shimin.

This was his lifelong enemy. Therefore, when fighting with the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guang himself also showed the demeanor of an excellent monarch. Most of the time, he would not give orders recklessly, but instead listened to Gao Ti's advice.

After all, Gao Jiong was the most powerful general of the Sui Dynasty!
It's a pity that Yang Su is no longer with us...
But at this time, they all seemed to ignore Li Jing.

It was also because Li Shimin attracted too much of their attention, which caused them to be in a dilemma for a while.

Afterwards, before they could do anything, Li Jing's army directly surrounded their retreat, and Li Shimin took the opportunity to launch a counterattack against them.

This caught Yang Guang off guard, and caught Yang Guang's army off guard. The army of more than 400,000 suffered heavy losses. In just one battle, they lost nearly 200,000...

Afterwards, Li Shimin pursued Yang Guang's army relentlessly, causing heavy losses to Yang Guang's army.

This was beyond the expectations of many people. They originally thought that this would be a fight between dragons and tigers, but the result was like this?
Not to mention others, Yang Guang himself was also confused.

This time, he really didn't play any tricks. He knew that if he continued to act like before, the entire Sui Dynasty might be doomed. (End of this chapter)
