Chapter 339: The Northern Expedition Advances
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was assassinated and furious, and decided to speed up the attack on Goguryeo, and originally planned to send troops for six years, but he planned to send troops in the autumn more than half a year in advance, so as to disrupt the timing of the Goguryeo people to harvest grain and grass and pay taxes, so that the Goguryeo court was not unable to collect taxes.

And the Great Sui is rich in the world, the warehouse is full, it is definitely enough for hundreds of thousands of troops, and it has been used for twenty or thirty years, so fighting for national strength, Emperor Yang of Sui is confident, looking at the four seas, no Fanbang can be richer than the Great Sui.
At this time, it was no longer possible to care whether the Grand Canal could be completed, and to what extent it could be done.
Luo Zhaoyun and Yu Wenhua were also given an order, and when they came out of the New Year, they immediately went to Youzhou to secretly do things according to the will, one was responsible for ordnance, and the other was responsible for raising horses.
The Lang of the local Yingyang Mansion will fully cooperate, but Youzhou has been renamed Zhuo County at the beginning of the Great Cause, because Emperor Yang of Sui restored the county and county secondary local system.
The terrain here is very important, it is the stronghold of the Great Sui to connect the north, operate the northeast defense line and control the military important place of Hebei, and have the dual tasks of external defense and internal control.
Due to the important military position here, there are two Yingyang generals in Zhuo County, and there are two Yingyang Lang generals, who are not subordinate to each other, of which Luo Yi is one of them, perhaps because of the relationship between the father and the son, from the previous car general, soared directly and became one of the three Zhenglang generals, and the other is Zhao Shizhu!
The county guard of Zhuo County is Li Jing, and his official position is greater than that of General Lang of Yingyang Mansion, but he does not receive military power for the time being.
In this way, the military power and the governing power are separated, so as to avoid the integration of the military and the government, the tail is not lost, and the vassal king is divided.
………
After Luo Zhaoyun got the news, he began to prepare to return to Zhuo County.
However, before he left Beijing, he still went to the palace to meet Princess Ruyi in the name of visiting Queen Xiao.
Twenty-year-old Luo Zhaoyun, heroic and upright, handsome and extraordinary, both civil and military, is indeed the object of admiration of the Great Sui woman, Princess Ruyi has been even more intoxicated and unable to extricate herself since she saw Luo Zhaoyun's literary performance that night.
After going back, he bragged in front of Empress Xiao almost every day about how he was able to win the talents in the capital, what he deserved, what was not a waste of fame, etc., full of praise.
Empress Xiao teased: "I didn't know who it was at the beginning, but when I heard his name, I didn't care about it, and laughed at him for not being the general of the Yucheng Shihe!" ”
Princess Ruyi was embarrassed, and the troubles were dug up, so she quickly made up for it: "At that time, I was less ignorant, and when I heard someone praise the teenagers, I felt incredible, and it was inevitable not to question it. ”
Queen Xiao looked at her embarrassment with a smile every time, and sighed at her daughter's thoughts.
………
Luo Zhaoyun came to the front of the Fengluan Palace, and after the confession, he was led into the palace by the maid.
He hadn't seen Queen Xiao for some days, and the mature woman's roundness, plumpness, and smile all had a kind of beauty.
At the age of thirty-four or five, when he was like a wolf and a tiger, the moment he saw Queen Xiao, the eyes of the two couldn't help but touch, and they were suddenly a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly avoided it, blushing.
"Zhaoyun!"
Princess Ruyi saw his posture, walking in a dragon and tiger step, with a lofty spirit, walking in a deep step, with a graceful demeanor, and suddenly a little excited, even the princess's shelf was gone, so she got up directly and wanted to go down to greet him, but Queen Xiao coughed twice and reminded her to pay attention to the etiquette in the palace, so she pouted.
"Chen Luo Zhaoyun, meet Empress Xiao and Princess Ruyi!" Luo Zhaoyun gave a salute.
"Luo Qing is exempt." Empress Xiao was dignified and noble, and she spoke slowly: "Come on, give me a seat!" ”
A beautiful maid brought a soft couch for Luo Zhaoyun to kneel and sit according to the old rites of the Central Plains.
"Let's all go down."
"Whoa!" After the maids and eunuchs withdrew, there were only three people left in the palace.
Princess Ruyi said anxiously: "Zhaoyun, you are leaving again, our business, when do you plan to explain it to your father?" Last time, you promised me that when you returned to the capital from the frontier, you would give me a clear answer, I used to dislike people who were young, but now, I am seventeen years old. ”
"Seventeen years old!" Empress Xiao corrected on the side.
Luo Zhaoyun was very embarrassed, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty has been in a bad mood recently, seeing that the invasion of Liaodong is imminent, at this time, if I propose marriage, first, Your Majesty is not psychologically prepared, and secondly, I am also suspected of ignoring the overall situation, not to mention, even if I really ask His Majesty to give marriage, when there is a chance to fit, for example, if I can make a contribution in this battle against Goguryeo, when Your Majesty asks me what I want, I will propose marriage again, and it will be a matter of course, maybe I am a little sure." ”
Empress Xiao nodded frequently when she heard this, these few words, he said quite reliable, pertinent, and sincere, now is really not the time, she approached the saint several times, it is difficult to say a few words, it is all about Emperor Yang of Sui angrily wanting to attack Goguryeo, thinking about how to use troops, how to mobilize grain and grass as soon as possible, and he can't listen to anything, like a demon.
I have to say that Goguryeo has become a problem for Emperor Yang of Sui, and it is also a disaster to lose face, and it must be eliminated and conquered in order to be comfortable.
"General Luo is reasonable, Ruyi, you must not be in a hurry, now your father's temper and emotions, you are not unclear, often thunderous and angry, now ask for marriage, it is estimated that your father is the first to object, and the other ministers have long been interested in you, and want you to take off their noble children, if it is not at the right time, General Luo is likely to become the target of public criticism, this time it was refuted, and it will be difficult to speak next time."
Princess Ruyi pursed her lips and reluctantly agreed, agreeing with this statement.
"This time to Zhuojun, General Luo, you have to do your best, and then in the battle against Goguryeo, you will make great contributions again!" Empress Xiao had high hopes.
"My subordinates will do their best!" Luo Zhaoyun gave up.
Princess Ruyi looked a little aggrieved, and sighed: "I just hope that you are safe, and by the way, our marriage has been finalized, and there is nothing else to ask for." (To be continued.) )
