Emperor Yang of Sui was stunned, he never thought that at this time, Luo Zhaoyun would make this request, he had heard Empress Xiao mention it before, he was optimistic about Luo Zhaoyun, and intended to marry Princess Ruyi to him, but Emperor Yang of Sui felt that the Luo family was not qualified enough, and Luo Cheng was young, so he had to observe for a few years.

Moreover, Yang Guang intends to marry Princess Ruyi to the gate lord wealthy family, so as to consolidate the relationship between the royal family and the top wealthy family, and at the same time assist him to weaken the influence of several major families, etc., but this generation of young people, few handsome people appear, even if there are a few, they are also suppressed by Luo Cheng's civil and military all-rounders.

It can be said that among the younger generation in their twenties, Luo Cheng's reputation is unmatched for a while, and the limelight is too strong, and no one can match him.

Emperor Yang of Sui is currently valuing him, so after frowning, he did not directly oppose it.

At this time, Yu Wenshu stood up and said: "At the moment of the great enemy, General Luo actually has the heart to talk about the love of his children, and he is too ignorant of the overall situation. ”

Luo Zhaoyun snorted: "General Yuwen understands the overall situation, you might as well break the back, hold Liaodong City, and let me wait and retreat calmly." ”

"You! General Luo, are you looking down on yourself and belittleing us generals of the defeated army? Yuwen said with instigation.

Luo Zhaoyun said: "I don't mean that, I just think that General Yuwen is actively involved in everything, open his mouth and close his mouth to talk about the overall situation, it is his turn, but he shirks outward, pretends not to know, and pushes others out as a shield, if General Yuwen really wants to be distracted by Your Majesty, why don't you and I guard Liaodong City together, and let Your Majesty and the ministers return to Beiping County first?" ”

Yuwenshu's face was a little pale, now the Goguryeo army is counterattacking, the Sui army has no will to fight, Liaodong City is a dangerous city for the Great Sui, because the surrounding counties, although they were attacked by the Sui army, but the residents and a few tribes inside are all focused on Goguryeo, and the Sui army is here, waiting for the enemy to be attacked.

Moreover, there is no grain and grass in the city of Liaodong, there are no Sui people, and tens of thousands of defenders are left empty, and they will not be able to hold the city at all, and they will be quickly recaptured by the Goguryeo army.

Emperor Yang of Sui took care of Yuwenshu very much, and didn't want to see him unable to get off the stage, so he said: "Okay, there is no need to fight with tongues, Luo Cheng, marriage matters, don't be hasty, I know that you have a heart for Ruyi, and you are very happy, but at the moment of the great enemy, I can't promise any marriage at this juncture, but I won't let the meritorious generals chill, so let's do it, I am already familiar with this matter, I will ask for Ruyi's idea when I go back, and she is willing, in addition, you have to make new contributions in the next year's campaign against Goguryeo, and combine the two, and I will give you marriage. ”

Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly, expressing this appeal by himself, and if he disagrees, it will be up to Emperor Yang of Sui.

Emperor Yang of Sui was employing people, so he also gave Luo Zhaoyun the steps down, and said: "Of course, you don't have to worry, during this period, any minister who begs me for marriage will not agree, you first!" ”

Luo Zhaoyun arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!" ”

"Get up! Now the generals will discuss how to retreat from Liaodong City, does this city have any meaning to hold on, and if so, how many troops and grain and grass are needed? ”

Luo Zhaoyun stood up and stood in the ranks of generals, and Yuwen Shu glanced at him with a bit of gloom.

However, Luo Zhaoyun is not afraid of the Yuwen family, one of the so-called eight families, because this is the frontier, his base camp, not the capital, and the situation is not what it used to be, Luo Zhaoyun is full of wings and has enough strength to protect himself, and the Great Sui is in the last years, and the so-called Guanlong nobles will soon fall apart.

The two looked at each other, both with a bit of coldness, and even Luo Zhaoyun's eyes were a bit murderous.

This kind of sharpness and killing intent made Yuwenshu, the old fox, a little frightened, and suddenly, he realized that Luo Cheng was no longer the teenager he was a few years ago, he had really matured and showed his edge again.

"Hmph, my Yuwen family is deeply entrenched in the Guanlong Group, there are hundreds of officials in the imperial court, you are a small Luo family, even if you have military power?" Yu Wenshu was comforting himself in his heart.

Li Jing stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, Liaodong City has been captured, if you give up and don't care, you will need to fight again in the coming year, and I am afraid that there will be tens of thousands of dead and wounded, or even 100,000 soldiers to exchange, so the minister thinks that he should hold on for a few months and wait for the spring of the next year." ”

Fan Zigai said: "The minister thinks that he should also hold on, this is my 100,000 soldiers of the Great Sui, in exchange for blood and bones, and should not be given up easily." ”

Pei Yun said: "It's just that there is a shortage of grain and grass in Liaodong City, and the 100,000 army is only enough for two months, and now it is icy and snowy, and the grain road transported from Huaiyuan Town, Beiping County has been covered by snow, and it is difficult for cars and horses to pass, not to mention that as soon as the Goguryeo army arrives, besiege Liaodong City and cut off the grain road, this is a desperate situation, and the soldiers in the city may be in danger of destruction." ”

"I don't think I should give up!"

"The old minister thinks that it is too dangerous to save people here, and it is easy for everyone in the city to be lost, and the damage will be greater."

Both opinions are actually reasonable, and looking at the problem from different angles, the key is which one has a greater chance of happening.

Emperor Yang of Sui asked Luo Zhaoyun, "Luo Cheng, what do you think?" ”

Luo Zhaoyun hesitated for a moment and replied: "The minister thinks that the land is lost, and the people and the land are lost; If people lose land, people and land will survive. ”

After the civil and military officials chewed on the meaning of his words, many people suddenly realized that they felt more and more reasonable.

"Do you also think that Liaodong City should be abandoned?"

Luo Zhaoyun suggested: "The minister is just based on the current situation, the food and grass in the city is insufficient, leaving tens of thousands of people and waiting for a lone army, it is difficult to do anything, if there are 100,000 heavy soldiers left, there is a shortage of food and grass, it is also very dangerous, it is better to withdraw the army back, it is best to migrate some big households in the city and bring them back to Beiping County, so that Liaodong City will become a lonely city, and it will be much easier to attack next time." ”

Emperor Yang of Sui nodded slowly, feeling that what he said was more sufficient, so he issued an order to immediately relocate the people of Liaodong City to Liaoxi and Beiping, so as not to leave the people here in Goguryeo and make it a lonely city. (To be continued.) )
