Chapter 450: Talking about the situation
"Brother Zhang Yi has not returned, and he has not been seen since he left a year ago. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Li Jing replied with a solemn expression, and he seemed to be aware that Zhang Zhongjian might be in danger.
"It's all to help me that I'm in a dangerous situation." Luo Zhaoyun sighed lightly, somewhat blaming himself, worried that something would happen to the bearded guest and Shen Guang.
"Zhang Daxia's martial arts are strong, close to the cultivation of the grandmaster, he should be able to break through, you don't have to worry about it." Qingshuang has seen the master of the sect master, and knows the horror of that kind of character, although his personal bravery cannot resist the army of 10,000 people, but to surround him, even 10,000 soldiers and horses will not help, because he fled into the mountains, running like a tiger and a leopard, it is difficult to catch up.
The warriors, chivalrous warriors, heroes of the green forest, and children of the family who pursued them in Taihang Mountain were at the highest level of innate qi, and they were not completely sure that they would completely block and kill the bearded guests.
When Luo Zhaoyun and Li Jing heard the comfort, they found some psychological balance, and their worries were reduced.
"General Li, how are you doing here, are you used to living here?"
Li Jing heard this: "This place is very suitable for me, there is no trouble when I was an official in the capital, and I don't have to look at other people's faces in everything, and deal with all kinds of social interactions. ”
"You're welcome, you can rise quickly because of your talent, few people can match, and I am also a teacher and friend, and I have asked General Li for advice at the beginning, and I have benefited a lot." Luo Zhaoyun is very humble.
Qingshuang listened to it on the side, her mouth opened, she was a little surprised, she didn't expect Luo Zhaoyun to be so modest in what she said, and she didn't have the frame of a general at all, and at the same time felt that this Li Jing must have real talent and learning, otherwise she would not be so promoted by Luo Zhaoyun.
Li Jing secretly admired it in his heart, thinking that General Luo Cheng was famous all over the world, he had already been canonized as a marquis, and he was a general of the imperial court.
"General Luo, although we are in the northwest frontier, but about the imperial court's attack on Goguryeo, I have also heard about it, it is said that the losses are very large, except for General Luo's repeated miraculous achievements, the rest ended in failure, and the millions of troops were lost there, after two crusades against Goguryeo, will Your Majesty give up?" Li Jing suddenly asked, his face solemn.
Luo Zhaoyun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The holy will is hard to guess, Your Majesty's mind is becoming more and more elusive now, but, according to his character, as long as the King of Goguryeo refuses to surrender, it is estimated that there will be three or four marches until he finally gives in." ”
"And three signs?" Qingshuang and Li Jing were both taken aback.
"Hmph, the Great Sui has been in dire straits, the rivers are decided, locust plagues are everywhere, the fields are out of harvest, the number of men has decreased sharply, the people have no stable life, they have fallen into the grass, and they don't listen to the control of the imperial court, Yang Guanghao is overjoyed, do you have to toss the Sui to die?" Qingshuang said angrily.
Li Jing's face changed greatly, and he was guilty of disrespect when he heard such a rebellious statement.
"Please be careful!" Li Jing was a little worried, and noticed that there were no guards and maids outside the door, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "General Luo, who is this?" ”
"My friend, the future of the Luo family." Luo Zhaoyun said it implicitly, ambiguously, but it makes people reverie.
Qingshuang's cheeks turned a little crimson when she heard the last sentence, and she bit her lip lightly, but did not refute.
Li Jing nodded slightly, and directly regarded her as General Luo's woman, there were no outsiders in the house, so he was not so worried and cautious.
"Actually, I also think that we should not work the people and waste money, and devote the country's strength to foreign wars, if we consume ourselves, the soldiers, and the country's major affairs, if we can not use the army, we should not start a war easily, it is easy to consume the national strength and cause a big disaster." Li Jing has studied the art of war all year round and has learned it thoroughly, and naturally he has also realized that national war is by no means at the level of a campaign, but more strategic, and closely related to people's livelihood and national fortunes.
Luo Zhaoyun sighed: "Your Majesty today, you can't listen to the words, as the saying goes, good medicine is good for the sick, and the loyal words are good for the ears, but Your Majesty is suspicious and conceited, and no one can listen to anyone's words, the ministers around Your Majesty, Yu Shiji, Pei Yun, Yu Wenshu and others, began to form a party to seize power, close the road to admonishment, exclude dissidents, and cover up the rebel situation in various places, so that Your Majesty does not realize that there have been big problems in the operation of the imperial court in the local area, which can endanger the foundation of the imperial court. ”
Li Jing has feelings for the Great Sui, as a regular eagle strike general of the Sui army, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, this is the Confucian principle of governing the world, he is not exempt from vulgarity, he feels that the country is turbulent, he should do something, and said with emotion: "General Luo, with your current prestige in the army, your connections in the imperial court, and your great achievements, Your Majesty favors you, can't you persuade Your Majesty to suspend the invasion of Liaodong?" ”
Luo Zhaoyun shook his head, and said with an embarrassed face: "It is precisely because in just a few years, there are too many meritorious contributions, which has aroused the suspicion of His Majesty, and the military generals have shown too strong ability, but it has also become a double-edged sword hanging over the head of the superior, Your Majesty has begun to guard and suppress me, plus Yuwenshu, Duguji and others, have old grudges with my Luo family, and there is more than one force in the court that wants to put me to death, so it is inconvenient for me to speak, relying on military merits to offend the monarchy!" ”
Li Jing sighed, he had a long experience, and he instantly understood what Luo Zhaoyun meant, shook his head helplessly, and said: "I heard that the Central Plains is already very chaotic, and there have been many rebels, Wang Bo, Zhai Rang, Gao Shida, Du Fuwei, Hao Xiaode, etc., as many as twenty or thirty forces, and the Great Sui has never been so chaotic. ”
Luo Zhaoyun looked grim and said: "Although the heroes rise together, but the dragons and snakes are mixed, most of them can't become the climate, but the wars are frequent, and the thieves are everywhere, so that the lives of the counties in the Central Plains are devastated, divided and separated, since ancient times, after the Xia, Shang and Zhou, the change of dynasties, more and more frequent, we are unlucky, born in troubled times, destined to live in blood and bones, but how fortunate we are, can be happy to enmity and hatred, vertical and horizontal, in my opinion, if Your Majesty is not restrained, and insists on going his own way, it will not take two or three years for the national righteous army to tear apart the order of the court and collapse the dynasty. ”
"What? Will the Great Sui die? Li Jing was dumbfounded and couldn't help but be frightened.
"There is no immortal dynasty, just to see how long it can last, although the Great Sui has been strong for more than ten years, but unfortunately in recent years, His Majesty does not know how to converge, poor and extravagant, open canals, build the Great Wall, build the eastern capital, cut Liaodong, etc., although it seems to be a beneficial thing, but these huge projects, any one, need a lot of manpower and materials, to slowly figure it out, can not let the people overload, but our Majesty, who cares whether the people live or die, can't wait to complete it at the same time, suddenly become a famous saint in history, the result is extremely opposite, The national fortune was cut off with his own hands. Luo Zhaoyun analyzed the truth, and after listening to it, Li Jing and Qingshuang all nodded and agreed with him.
