Luo Zhaoyun only stayed in Guzang City for a few days, leaving 10,000 new troops to garrison, and arranged Taishou, Juncheng, County Lieutenant, and various city and county orders to firmly control Wuwei County. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Wuwei County is an important part of the Hexi Corridor, connecting Zhangye, Jincheng County, and Xiping from north to south, which is an important way of the ancient Silk Road.

After Luo Zhaoyun integrates these counties now, he will be able to re-embed the counties of Hexi and Longxi to integrate resources.

At present, the eight counties of Xihai, Zhangye, Wuwei, Jincheng, Xiping, Caohan, Douhe, and Heyuan are all in the hands of Luo Zhaoyun, and they have become the king of the northwest.

Even if he is not self-reliant, he has the absolute right to speak in the northwest, and even these soldiers only recognize the young marshal and do not know the imperial court.

Because they all knew in their hearts that whether it was the acting king of Daxing City, the king of Luoyang City, or Yang Guang of Jiangdu City, they were all besieged, and the Great Sui was about to fall, and there was no way to change their lives.

Luo Zhaoyun returned to Jincheng and sat here, because his center of gravity gradually shifted eastward, and the next target was the counties of Longyou.

Longyou is currently Xue Ju's territory, with more than 200,000 soldiers, and the number is constantly expanding, and there are several rebels such as Tang Bi, each of whom divides the territory.

Luo Zhaoyun didn't think about it at the beginning, and hit Daxing City one step earlier, but it was unrealistic, because he was not as fast as Li Yuan's route, and he had to pass through several heroes from the northwest, Li Rail, Xue Ju, Liang Shidu, Tang Bi, etc., would all stand in the way, he had limited troops at that time, and after fighting with these armies, his soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, and he was no longer able to fight with Li Yuan.

Besides, even if he entered the customs one step earlier, he did not have the support of several gate valves, so he went to follow Li Yuan and Cao Cao, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but the capital was not enough and the prestige was not old enough, so it was difficult for many old gate valves to stand up and support him.

Therefore, Luo Zhaoyun finally gave up his plan to snatch Daxing City with Li Yuan, because of the time, location, and people, he could not compare with Li Valve, so he could only take the sword and find another way to seize power.

The most important thing is that Luo Zhaoyun is a concubine, a prince of Youguo, a generalissimo of soldiers and horses, etc., giving the world the feeling that he is a young god of war, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, such an upright image, once he enters Daxing City first, he is not good to do like Li Yuan and Wang Shichong in the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, support the puppet, and then poison Yang Zhao's son, this kind of road is suitable for Li Yuan Wang Shichong, suitable for Dong Zhuo Cao Cao, but not for him Luo Zhaoyun.

After comprehensive consideration, Luo Zhaoyun planned to stabilize the northwest first, integrate people's resources, material resources, financial resources, etc., continue to expand the army, recruit troops, appease the people, and open the name of benevolence and righteousness in the northwest, so that the nobles in the land of Guanlong, especially Longyou and Hexi, saw his talent for governing the country, and the momentum was fierce, and they stood in line one after another.

There is an old saying, called Hexi Corridor An, then the world is safe. If the Hexi Corridor is in danger, the world is in danger.

Luo Zhaoyun occupied the northwest, formed a trend of Mount Tai pressing the top of the Guanlong area, advanced to the east, and the difficulty of attacking was much easier than that of the Central Plains soldiers and horses entering the Hangu.

Seeing the return of the young marshal, Du Ruhui personally led people to wait outside the gate of the marshal's mansion: "Welcome the young marshal, return triumphantly, pacify the eight counties in the northwest, and open the Hexi corridor, which is just around the corner." ”

Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly and said, "Let's go, go in and talk." ”

There are many generals who returned with the trip, and there are only some civilian positions left in Wuwei County, who are responsible for governing civil affairs.

"General Hou Junji, I can rush back tomorrow."

"Okay, it's autumn, it's time for our army to discuss how to gather troops and prepare for the next step."

"Young marshal, there is one more thing, the head of the Cao family in Caohan County, Cao Yingqin, with two elders, came to see the young marshal, he arrived yesterday, and he has been waiting in Jincheng for a day, waiting for the young marshal to receive him."

"The Cao family?" Luo Zhaoyun smiled faintly, this Cao family should know that Li Liang was taken into custody, so he hurried over, first, he had to take the initiative to attach, because the backer was gone, and if his Cao family wanted to gain a foothold in the Seven Hao Clans in the northwest and continue to become a nobleman, he needed the approval and support of the imperial court, otherwise, the Cao family would be easily excluded. In addition, it is estimated that he came to intercede for Cao Zhen and others.

Luo Zhaoyun said nonchalantly: "I just came back today, I'm a little tired, I don't see any guests, let's summon me tomorrow." ”

Du Ruhui arched his hand and said: "My subordinates understand, and I will tell him." ”

Returned to the Shuai Mansion, although he was a little tired, Luo Zhaoyun had profound martial arts and physical strength, so he immediately summoned some strategists to formulate new regulations for the eight counties.

Du Ruhui, Zhu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, Su Yu and others, all young people who read and are knowledgeable, got together and talked about Wenzhi with the young marshal.

They are not good at leading troops to fight, but they quote scriptures, read history books, and have the talents of prime ministers, scholars, and writers.

Luo Zhaoyun said: "Although there is the law of Kaihuang, but after all, the law of the Great Sui is too complicated, the folk customs in the northwest are different from those in the Central Plains, and it is difficult to implement here. ”

Everyone nodded, feeling that the young marshal had thought it out very carefully, and it was of great significance to establish a new law in this way, which represented that Luo Zhaoyun's power in the northwest had reached its peak, and he could abandon the Great Sui Emperor's law and not listen to the call, which belonged to the uncrowned king of the northwest.

Luo Zhaoyun said eloquently: "The people in the northwest are fierce, and there are many times when they violate the law, so when you recount the criminal law, when you combine the local people's conditions, we reorganize and control the judicial power, and solve civil disputes and criminal cases, which are related to justice and the vital interests of the people, and we can't be careless, as long as we handle it properly and let the local people accept it, our young marshal's mansion will be completely footed, not a political power, but it is also better than a new regime." ”

After listening to this, everyone present couldn't help but become active in their hearts, they were all a little excited, they heard the meaning of the young marshal, they did not reclaim the name of the king, but they really held the power of the eight counties in the northwest, which was unshakable, and the imperial court was beyond the reach of the whip, and the command could not move, and according to the changing situation in the world, they could raise troops to do something big at any time.

"What the young marshal said is extremely true, we should study the people's situation and reformulate new laws suitable for the northwestern counties and a few tribes." Du Ruhui was the first to echo his position.

Luo Zhaoyun expressed what he was thinking, and continued: "At the same time, let the county commanders and county officials restore farming, build water conservancy, develop industry and commerce, etc., strengthen the cooperation and integration between the Hu tribes, the Hu merchants in the Western Regions, as well as the nobles in the northwest and the Central Plains, encourage marriage, weaken the contradictions, sort out the concept in one direction, and condense the strength into one, within a year, there will be a lot of changes in the northwest, the rear will be stable, and the commander can lead the elite army, break Xue Ju, attack Daxing, and pacify the disaster in Guanlong!" ”
