The White Tiger Festival Hall in the Golden City Marshal's Mansion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Cao Yingqin, the head of the Cao family, took the two elders to visit the young marshal Luo Cheng in person, and was taken outside the festival hall by the guards.

At this time, the people of the Cao family completely lowered their posture and no longer reported luck, because the young marshal waved his army to pacify Xiliang and sent troops to Triumph, less than a month, most of which were used for long-distance travel, and the time consumed in the real battle was not much.

This shows that Xiliang did not resist for long at all, and was wiped out by the Sui army led by Luo Cheng.

Although he is one of the wealthy families in the northwest, the people of the Cao family are also frightened at this time, because the young marshal only needs one sentence to make the Cao family destroy the door and remove the name from the northwest.

In the past, they secretly supported the Xiliang regime behind their backs, but now they are completely dead set on standing in the camp of the young marshal, because they all feel that the Xiliang is over, and the Western Qin is also fast, and in the entire Hexi, Longyou, Guanzhong region, etc., no rebel army is the opponent of the young marshal.

At present, the seven clans in the northwest, except for the Xue clan in Hexi, followed the Western Qin with an iron heart, and quietly transferred the descendants of the Xue clan and the women and children, and some property was also transported to Tianshui County, hoping to get Xue Ju's protection, and the rise and fall of the family were all tied to the Western Qin regime, where their clansmen could be treated as imperial relatives.

Cao Yingqin is in his fifties, with a short beard on his chin, his hair is pulled up and he wears a crown, the whole person is neither fat nor thin, his eyes are sharp, his face is clear, and he has the demeanor of the head of a wealthy family, but after he saw the young marshal who was not angry and arrogant, he still had a respectful attitude and felt the iron-blooded murderous aura of this young man.

Although Luo Zhaoyun is a later generation, but in the environment of the Sui Dynasty, he has lived for fifteen years, and he has been fully adapted to the role of Luo Cheng, and he naturally has the prestige of a marshal.

"Meet Marshal Luo!" Cao Yingqin, Cao Ping, and Cao Dian, the three of them stood in the White Tiger Hall and bowed.

"No courtesy, the three of you are guests from afar, sit down and talk." Luo Zhaoyun put down the paperwork fold in his hand, and clicked on the row of jujube red carved chairs on the left side with his hand, and asked the three of them to sit down.

"Come on, serve tea!"

"Marshal Luo, you don't have to be so polite, I really don't dare to wait." Cao Yingqin listened to Luo Cheng invite them to tea, firstly, he was polite and humble, and secondly, he didn't know if there was medicine in the tea, so he was a little apprehensive, but thinking of Luo Cheng's reputation, he breathed a sigh of relief, such a heroic young man should not use this kind of indiscriminate means to deal with them.

In an instant, the maid held a porcelain pot and a purple sand porcelain cup, and placed a teacup for each of the three visitors, which was filled with emerald green tea leaves and hot boiling water.

"The head of the Cao family is visiting in person this time, but there is something to discuss with Ben Shuai."

Cao Yingqin arched his hand and said: "Exactly, last time the Northwest Seven Clans were invited to Huangshui City to attend the meeting, but at that time Cao was entangled in something, failed to come in person, and had the intention of defeating Marshal Luo, and felt deeply sorry not to go, and today I specially came to visit Marshal Luo in person, firstly, to express my Cao family, the marshal's strong support for governing the northwest, improving people's livelihood, and developing the economy, and secondly, I also want to eliminate some misunderstandings, and from then on I can be honest with each other." ”

Luo Zhaoyun thought to himself: You are a backer, and your position in the northwest is not guaranteed, so you have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.

But he did not sneer, nor did he deliberately dismantle the stage, making the Cao people ugly, as a politician, to win over and unite all forces for his own use, this is a mature performance.

Luo Zhaoyun now not only sees himself as the commander of the three armies, but also subconsciously regards himself as a master who can govern the country and appease the world in the future.

"The head of the Cao family can recognize the current affairs as a junjie, Ben Shuai is still very pleased, in the past, the Great Sui focused on the south of the Yangtze River, and conquered Liaodong by force, but in the northwest, it did not attract enough attention, the Hexi Corridor, the Silk Road has been abandoned, the northwest here is scarce in materials, the economy is backward, the customs are ignorant, compared with the Central Plains, it seems to be a hundred years of progress."

"Ben Shuai has been stationed here for many years, and has a deep understanding, but he was unable to intervene in local finances and civil affairs, etc., and now Ben Shuai is trusted by the imperial court and is fully responsible for the important task of quelling the chaos and developing the northwest in the northwest, and it is necessary to put forward new policies according to local conditions, and govern the northwest from education, farming, commerce, soldiers, horse politics, nomadism, water conservancy and other aspects."

"The Northwest Seven Clans are a wealthy family of gate valves, and they have been here for a hundred years, and Ben Shuai doesn't want to forcibly oppress you, and there is no benefit to Ben Shuai, only cooperation, supervision, and win-win results, and other families are prosperous, Ben Shuai has made remarkable achievements, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is the best situation."

Luo Zhaoyun's words were straight to the point, cutting in with righteousness, without too much politeness, nor threats and intimidation, and the words were clear and concise, so that several people in power in the Cao family felt Luo Shuai's sincerity and did not pretentious.

Cao Yingqin let go of a little worry in his heart, and felt that the young marshal was not the kind of sinister person with a smiling face and three swords, and it was much easier to talk, he arched his hand and said: "Marshal Luo, my ancestor of the Cao family, has a slight relationship with the Cao Wei royal family, belongs to the side branch, hundreds of years, in order to avoid the war in the Central Plains, only to take root in the northwest, we also know very well that the glory of the ancestors, as well as the profundity of the Central Plains culture, since Luo Shuai is so frank, I Cao also said a few words from the bottom of my heart." ”

"Because Li Liang in the northwest raised troops in Xiping County first, my Cao family has elite children, invested in Xiliang, this is also forced to helpless, because there are too many local rebel troops, in order to protect themselves, join the larger rebel army, you can seek wings, now that Xiliang is destroyed, my Cao family has no other ideas, just want to follow Marshal Luo, dedicated to the meager talents of my Cao family, for the marshal to drive, the Cao Chamber of Commerce will also fully devote itself to the operation of the northwest businessman, please Marshal Mingjian."

What Luo Zhaoyun wants is the promise of the head of the Cao family, to be able to fully stand up, follow the new policy of the northwest, and carry out diversified economic exchanges with the Central Plains businessmen and Hu businessmen, so as to revitalize the market in the northwest, improve the local people's livelihood, and let Lao Baixiao feel the changes and benefits, and he will naturally support him with all his heart.

"With the words of the head of the Cao family, Ben Shuai is very pleased, and welcomes the Cao family to make a lot of contributions to the development of the northwest, in addition, in the pacification of Xiliangzhong, it is true that more than a dozen Cao children have been detained, these people, Ben Shuai will not be embarrassed, he will be released on the same day, if there is a talent, this Shuai will also be hired."

"Marshal Xie!" Cao Yingqin, Cao Ping and others were overjoyed, the purpose of their coming, first, to stand in line to show loyalty, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and secondly, there was a task, that is, to rescue those Cao children from being killed and disposed of, and now the young marshal opened his mouth to exonerate the guilt, so that the three of them were happy in their hearts.
