Chapter Seventy-Five: Plan Ahead
After sending General Zhou away, Luo Zhaoyun calmed down a lot in his heart, knowing his own shortcomings, as well as the ranger rivers and lakes, the rules of officialdom, the power of the gate lords, etc., and he also had a deeper understanding of the situation in Chang'an City, and he was no longer a layman with black eyes.

"A gentleman should do what he can, and not stand under a dangerous wall......"
Luo Zhaoyun smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, temporarily put down tonight's humiliation, as well as the suppression of Yang Guang, Yuwenshu and others, and forbearance in his heart, the top priority, how to gain a foothold in Chang'an City is fundamental.
Because he has a prediction of the general trend of history, he knows that Chang'an City, in less than three years, here will be half abandoned, and after Yang Guang ascends the throne next year, he will rebuild the new capital Luoyang City, and move away the rich merchants, nobles, and officials in Chang'an to wait for the new capital, and those who remain in Chang'an City are only some side branches of Guanlong nobles, and most of the incumbent officials will move to Luoyang, the eastern capital.
Until the end of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Chang'an City was captured by Li Yuan and became Li Tang's base camp.
This is the gathering place of Guanlong nobles, although there are many heroes in the world in the future, but they can successfully conquer Chang'an, and get the support and support of local nobles, there are really not many.
Throughout the late Sui Dynasty, most of them were low-level generals, local officials, green forest heroes, and rural heroes, although there were nearly 100 rebel armies, but they were quickly eliminated, their status was low, in the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the most important thing was the birth and family, those leaders of the rebels who were born in the cold family, without the support of the nobles, it is difficult to make great achievements.
Li Yuan's success is due to the profound background of the times, because among all the rebels, he was attached to Li Valve in Guanzhong, and he was a relative of the Great Sui royal family, with the support of Dou Valve and Changsun Valve, and his reputation was very high at that time, and it was easy for Guanlong Group to accept. The army from Taiyuan did not fight a few hard battles, and successfully entered Chang'an City, if it was replaced by other rebels, hundreds of thousands of horses may not be able to enter it, which is why people like Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, Wang Shichong and others did not dare to rush westward An important reason.
"If I can lay out this layout in advance, spread out my own strength, and the intricate network of business groups, what kind of foundation will it be fifteen years later? When the time comes, whether I assist Li Yuan and his son, or Mingzhe to protect himself, there will be one more back road and hole card! ”
When Luo Zhaoyun thought of this, his spirits perked up, and he was no longer obsessed with tonight's victory, but pressed his chips on the Ming Dynasty......
This is how he spent his first night in Chang'an City.
The next day, Luo Zhaoyun got up early in the morning and started a new day of training, a thousand bayonets a day, perseverance, and at the same time fists and feet did not fall, after last night's battle, and the fierce people of the world, the impact on him was too great, so he was no longer complacent, but had a goal to catch up, and worked harder.
After the exercises, after breakfast, I went to the garrison camp to report to the army, and changed from a casual cavalry attendant to a lieutenant of Fengche.
Even the record of the right guard rate to join the army was very surprised, I didn't expect that he had just arrived yesterday, and one night had passed, and he had inexplicably been promoted by one level, except for the secret resentment in his abdomen, but he was polite on the surface, because he speculated that behind this increase in speed, I am afraid that there is a powerful backer supporting him, how dare he offend?
Changed the identity of the fish talisman, as well as the captain's waist card, received the armor and robe, Luo Zhaoyun went back to his residence, because the task of the left and right guards is to take charge of the honor guard, to put it bluntly, it is the escort team when the prince appears, as an honor guard, and it is generally used when he travels far away.
Therefore, as the subordinate officer of the right guard of the East Palace, the task is relatively easy, report every day, go through the motions, and then you can go back to your residence.
Not long after Luo Zhaoyun returned to his house, Guo Xiaoke and Ji Pingwu came to visit the door again.
"Boss, have you been promoted again? That's too fast! Ji Pingwu opened his mouth wide and saw his new waist card and armor, his eyes full of small stars.
"Hey, yesterday was not a casual rider, a seventh-grade official, and after a night, he was promoted to the sixth-grade." Guo Xiaoke was also taken aback.
"Now I am the subordinate officer of the right guard of the East Palace, and I am the captain of Fengche."
"Boss, what's the matter, did you go to the banquet last night and make a big show again?" Ji Pingwu asked curiously.
Luo Zhaoyun's face was a little embarrassed, thinking that he was chopped and vomited blood by Yu Chengdu in ten moves, is it considered to be in the limelight?
"At the banquet, he was appreciated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and had a discussion with others in public, and he was promoted."
Ji Pingwu subconsciously said: "It must be that the leader won, so he was sealed." ”
Luo Zhaoyun laughed at himself and said: "I fought two battles, the first one was defeated by a Zhichong Lang general led by the right Si Yu, and the second one was defeated in ten moves, that is a fierce man!" ”
"Ten moves will be defeated, what a fierce man, more fierce than the leader!" Ji Pingwu was stunned when he heard this.
"His name is Yu Chengdu, the righteous son of General Yu Juluo, a real warrior, he is simply not human!" Luo Zhaoyun smiled bitterly.
Guo Xiaoke and Ji Pingwu looked at each other, it was hard to believe that someone could defeat him in ten moves!
Luo Zhaoyun got up and said: "Don't think about these things, let's go, let's have no errands today, go out for a walk in Chang'an City, and take a look at the prosperity of the capital!" ”
This is the purpose of the two of them, not to think about who is in Chengdu at the moment, followed Luo Zhaoyun, went out of the East Palace Changlin Gate together, and walked on the street opposite the Tonghua Gate in Dongcheng.
They take a main road in Chang'an City, the longitudinal long street between Anye Fang and Yongye Fang, the foot is the pavement of loess compaction, the road is lined with sycamores, elm trees, locust trees, etc., behind the tree is a deep drainage ditch, behind the ditch is the square wall of about one zhang high, there are deep house compounds, teahouses and restaurants, temples and Taoist temples in the square wall, etc., the antique cornices and heavy buildings.
The three of them can occasionally see a grand mansion, with their own gate open on the wall of the square facing the city street, with two rows of halberd stands lined up at the door, and samurai family handles, standing guard on duty.
These are the homes of princes and nobles and relatives of three or more ranks, and they can only open the door to the street by the decree of the imperial court, otherwise the door of the general family can only be opened to the square, and the door is usually closed, and it is impossible to come out, and the wealthy family with the gate facing out is not subject to the constraints of the door.
The streets are full of people, and you can even see many Hu people, people from the Western Regions, people from the Japanese country, people from Mobei, and even people from Western Europe, wearing exotic clothes, full of unintelligible languages, pulling horses, camels, and driving the handlebars to the nearby Dongshi.
The prosperity of the Great Sui is like a special picture scroll of the 'Qingming Riverside Map' slowly unfolding.
