Chapter 480: Shocking Statement
The failure of Li Hun, Li Min and others to rebel made Yang Guang furious, killed dozens of direct family members in the clans of the three people, dismissed many officials of Li Valve, and recovered the iron scrolls of these families' death-free pills, and all the titles, Yulu, and food were all recovered.

Suddenly, Guan Long Li Valve suffered a heavy blow, was squeezed out by various valves, did not dare to make a noise, and most of them went deep and simple, so as not to be dealt with by political opponents with excuses.
Due to the proverbs, all officials with the surname Li are not allowed to be reused, and those who are promoted, reinstated, transferred abroad, and hold military power must be restricted.
Half a month later, as soon as this turmoil subsided, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty issued another edict to mobilize the power of the whole country to conquer Goguryeo again, this time to completely defeat this small country.
When the news spread, there was an uproar in various places, and many people frowned and resisted one after another, and some people even fled directly overnight, and the men went to some nearby cottages, fell into the grass, or took some food, and went into the deep mountains and old forests in groups of three or five, and lived in seclusion in caves to avoid this conscription.
"Escape, otherwise you will either die halfway, or you will die in Liaodong, and there is no way to live."
"Ten people leave their hometowns, one is difficult to return, this is going to join the army, it is simply sending him to death, the emperor is personally recruited, and the millions of troops can't win, I can't believe him."
"It's better to join the government soldiers to die, it's better to join the rebel army, at least have meat to eat and wine to drink!"
Many men in the township complained a lot, they were already very disappointed in the imperial court, and they were even more disgusted and resisted the crusade against Liaodong.
Due to the huge scale of the previous conscription, too many men have been transferred, coupled with the destruction of the local rebel army, the absorption of strong men to join, so that the local household registration is loosened, and the general search and household registration fixed system done during the opening of the emperor have been destroyed, and many villages have fled a lot of people, and a lot of looted have been looted.
The Ying Yanglang generals of the local government soldiers are also worried, the number of troops has been sharply reduced, the number of people is difficult to gather, and the long-distance journey needs military food support, even if they arrive on time, when they go to the battlefield, it is a dead end, so the local government soldiers are not willing to leave their hometowns, and then start a war in Liaodong.
Yang Guang didn't take these situations into account, what he cared about was the great cause, he only considered the impact on future generations, never cared about the life and death of the people at the moment, the issue of people's livelihood and public opinion, almost ignored, too hasty, and didn't care how many people would die, this kind of ruthless king, if he did how much merit he did, it was difficult to be praised by the world, and even would be maliciously smeared by later generations.
Qin Shi Huang, Yang Guang and others are like this, for later generations, they have indeed done a lot of great deeds, but for the people of the world, they are like a brutal faint king, and they have been spitted on all the time, because they are too disregarded for the lives of the people and have no benevolence.
This time, Yang Guang recruited and transferred 20 county soldiers in the Central Plains, and it is estimated that each county government will have 30,000 soldiers, which is 600,000 people, plus 100,000 Praetorian Guards, 100,000 Xiaoguo Guards, and 100,000 garrisons of Zhuojun and Yuyang, 900,000, known as one million, will not be returned if Liaodong is not broken.
After Luo Zhaoyun received this piece of information, he smiled bitterly, he can really do it, if he doesn't do it, he won't die, if he is happy, he will die quickly!
The entire Great Sui River is already full of holes, and Yang Guang is still doing his own thing, almost obsessed with demons, for the sake of the illusory name of the Holy King, regardless of whether the imperial court will collapse.
"It's time to leave Xijing City, be careful everywhere here, like a trapped cage, in early spring and February, when the glacier is unsealed, we will go back to the northwest of Zhuo County, to our own territory." Luo Zhaoyun asked Ning Muhe to find someone to arrange it, and he left Xijing one after another and rushed back to Zhuo County.
Before leaving, he sent someone to secretly invite Old Man Luo to the house, and his grandson was very happy to meet him, and he drank and talked happily in the room.
"You kid, you live a good life, but you don't show up, and people outside are rumored that you are more than lucky." Luo Rong's face was full of red light, and he looked at his only grandson with a smile.
"Stay out of the limelight for the time being, I don't want to serve the court anymore, and I'm going to be a gunman."
"Well, it's also a good idea to protect yourself, now that the imperial court is in turmoil, there is a danger of overturning at any time, and the rebel army is all over the place, and the smoke is everywhere, if you go to lead the troops and suppress these rebels for the imperial court, then the good reputation accumulated before may become stinky."
Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said: "That's right, the officials force the people to rebel, that's the truth, now the court doesn't care about the lives of the people, I can't help the abuse, I thought the old man would persuade me to be loyal to the court, but I didn't expect that you would think quite openly." ”
"Haha, we are soldiers, although we want to serve the country, but we can't be foolish and loyal, we have to see what kind of monarch it is, it is good for the country, and it is good for the people, we must support, for the brutal monarch, we must know how to retreat, dodge, and merge with different streams, so as not to fall into the bad reputation of a traitorous minister, besides, our Luo family ancestors are loyal to the Western Wei Dynasty, and then followed the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then transitioned to the Great Sui, the dynasty changed, the Luo family has experienced a lot, and they don't take the royal family so seriously, and what should be replaced will always be replaced by new forces." Luo Rong saw very clearly, and his insight was also outstanding, full of the wisdom of a hermit old man.
"Old man, have you ever thought that our Luo family will also sit on the throne of this king?" Luo Zhaoyun asked tentatively.
"Dangchang!" After Luo Rong listened, the cup took off his hand and fell on the table, a little dumbfounded, he Luo Jianai has never been a civil official, and he is not good at governing the country, political affairs, economics and Confucianism, etc., it can be said that he is not suitable for politics, let alone being a king.
"Zhaoyun, you're not kidding, are you?"
Luo Zhaoyun shook his head, his face was solemn, and said, "Of course it's not a joke. ”
Luo Rong's face suddenly changed, there were panic, accidents, worries, excitement waiting, all kinds of expressions were intertwined, and his psychology was fighting fiercely.
"But the prestige of my Luo family is far from reaching the point of a hundred responses, among the nobles of Guanlong, it can only be regarded as medium, there are no influential figures in the court, just with the tens of thousands of horses in your father's hands, in the troubled times, it is barely possible to be a hero, but it is by no means the material for a king." Luo Rong knows very well to his children that even if he has military power, he can only divide one side, has no sense of the overall situation, has no vision for governing the country, and cannot let the people with lofty ideals in the world surrender to allegiance, and it is difficult to be a king.
Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly: "Hehe, I didn't mean my father, what I mean is, when the troubled times come, the world is in chaos, I want to stand up and set up a big banner, recruit troops and buy horses, just like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu raised troops at the end of Qin, overthrow the chaotic Sui and seize the country, how about it?" ”
Luo Rong was dumbfounded, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he held back for a long time before saying, "Are you going crazy?" ”
