"What a good leader, able to bend and stretch, he is worthy of a generation of heroes who have played with the world for many years!" Luo Tong learned the news that Jieli had gone and returned, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration!

Jieli has dominated the world for many years, and his eyes are empty, but at this time, he swallowed the shame brought to him by Luo Tong and retreated rationally, which is definitely a wise choice.

If he loses his sanity, he will only hasten his demise, and will only cause more Tiele and Tuli to be born.

Governor Shi, Sima Liu Min, and Liu Lan, who had taken over the important military and political affairs of Shuofang, were ecstatic when they heard the news.

Jieli's return and retreat to the depths of the grassland meant that not only did they sit firmly in Shuofang, but the entire Xiazhou was also complete, and they became worthy of the name as the supreme administrator of Xiazhou.

Seeing that Luo Tong was not so happy, Liu Lan smiled and said: "The arrangement of the governor is useless. As the so-called good fighters have no outstanding achievements, they can make Jieli Khan retreat without a fight, and there is only one governor in the whole world, so why should the governor be sad? ”

Luo Tong shook his head and said: "Jieli used to be a tyrant, and he has always been to oppress people with force, but now he has endured the humiliation I took with him, it can be seen that he has woken up and is wise, if the previous Jieli is the overlord Xiang Yu, then he is now transforming into the forbearant Liu Bang, which is not necessarily a good thing for me Datang." Wait and see! This Tieler is probably finished. ”

Liu Min was stunned: "Why is this? ”

Luo Daodao: "I can't say it for a while, but one thing is certain, Jieli has made the wisest decision. It's hard for me to imagine that with my character, I can stand this shame. is like a hook, lying on a salary to taste the guts, and the person who can bear the shame is either a coward or a great person. ”

Liu Min and Liu Lan smiled in disbelief but didn't say anything.

"Jieli is gone, and I don't need to stay here any longer. Be careful, lest the Turks kill you. If anything is out of the ordinary, let me know immediately. Luo Tong felt that he had a generation gap with Liu Min and Liu Lan. They couldn't communicate with each other in depth, and they didn't want to talk to them more, so they planned to leave with their troops.

Liu Min and Liu Lan sent Luo Tong out of Shuofang City.

"Reminder, if Yuanhan Fuji of the Yuanhan tribe comes to fight, don't go out of the city to fight, this is a fierce general comparable to General Wei Chi! I, the Tang Dynasty, may only have the ability to kill General Qin Qiong, but even if I win, it will be a narrow victory. Qin Qiong is my uncle and half of my master, and I won't joke about the reputation of my elders. ”

Liu Min and Liu Lan changed their complexions, and their expressions were full of disbelief, but when they saw that Luo Tong said solemnly, they also remembered the name Yuanhan Fuji deeply in their hearts.

Luo Tong led tens of thousands of troops on the way back to Gyeongju leisurely, and the materials he plundered had been rushed back to Yanzhou by the rescued people and wounded soldiers in advance, so they did not need to rush here.

"Governor, take a step to speak!" Away from Shuofang, Liu Boying rode to Luo Tong's side and whispered.

Seeing that Liu Boying's expression was a little serious, Luo Tong also knew that this Confucian general was powerful, and when he heard that he had something to say, he was not careless, so he rode his horse to the side with him.

"Uncle Liu, what's the matter?" Luo Tong asked with a curious smile!

Liu Boying sighed and said, "Qingxiao! Are you guilty of a big taboo? He had a very personal relationship with Luo Shixin, and seeing that Luo Tong respected himself so much, he simply talked about it as a personal relationship, which was more effective.

"Taboo?" Luo Tong couldn't remember it for a while, but after a while, Fang woke up and said, "Uncle said to use the grain in Shuofang's treasury?" Yes, the people in the city are starving like that, and their sanity is a little out of order. How can I sit idly by? In case of a pedantic and stubborn long history, unwilling to open the treasury to save the famine on his own initiative, and have to wait for the order of the imperial court, then the people will not suffer? simply ordered to open a position directly. But I seem to be overthinking, Er Liu still has some love for the people. Every day, some grain will be distributed to maintain the daily livelihood of the people, and they will also ask the imperial court for relief materials, as well as cattle and sheep, to prepare for the spring ploughing in the coming year. ”

Liu Boying said: "You don't have to worry about them behind your back, and introduce the situation of Shuofang to the imperial court." Refer to you on the one hand, so that you will receive the punishment you deserve. ”

"Not really, right?"

Luo Tong couldn't believe it. In Shuofang, although he couldn't pee in the same pot with Liu Min and Liu Lan, he wouldn't stab him in the back and scare him.

Liu Boying shook his head and said: "The internal enemy is more terrible than the battlefield, back then, your father and I just let 'our own people' plot to end up like that, I have no reputation, so I survived by luck, and your father ...... Do not say. In short, they worked hard for a year, and in the end they fell short, don't you think they have no idea? In short, if you rob them of their merits, you cut off their path to promotion. ”

Luo Daodao: "I'm dedicated to the country, and I'm also to blame?" ”

Liu Boying said: "You think so, but they may not, especially when they are extreme, they will drill into the horns." ”

"This ......" Luo Tong couldn't answer for a while.

"It's also my fault, I didn't expect you to forget about them when you carried out your plan."

"Uncle has just arrived, and he has been in office for less than a month, how can I blame you."

Liu Boying did not dwell on this issue: "When Your Majesty was still the King of Qin, Liu Min and Liu Lan had already followed, and both of them were extremely utilitarian figures. His Majesty called Liu Min and Liu Lan to seek Shuo Fang. How can these two be easy? If I am not mistaken, perhaps Your Majesty is reading the recital against you right now. ”

Luo Tong smiled calmly and said, "Impeachment, impeachment, in fact, Liang Luoren has repeatedly reminded me kindly." But even so, so what? Uncle didn't see the situation at that time, and almost all the people in the north were covered with skin and bones. They eat gruel in the morning, gruel at noon, and gruel in the evening. I am cruel to the Turks, but I am not ruthless to my people. Even if I do it again, I will still open a warehouse to store grain. If you want to be punished, you will be punished, and at most you will suffer a little crime! It's a big deal if I'm not an official, I don't care. Anyway, I'm still young, and now I have a great reputation, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to make a comeback? ”

Luo Tong was deeply moved by Liu Boying's kindness, his father's character is really good, although he is gone, he has left a huge network of resources for him.

Liu Boying shook his head and sighed: "You father and son! Exactly the same, exactly the same stubborn ......"

"Otherwise, how can there be an idiom of 'the son inherits the father's business'!"

Liu Boying: "......"

Luo Tong did not continue, but thanked him and caught up with the large army.

This kind of thing is just natural, regardless of whether Liu Min and Liu Lan joined him or not, but he has a clear conscience in this matter, and he already has the intention of being punished, so what's the point of entangled in the details?

Returned to Luziguan.

Wang Xuance, Du He, Ma Zhou, Liu Renliang, and Shangguan Yi greeted them at Guanxia.

"How's it going?" Luo Tong greeted him.

The spoils of war arrived several days first, and according to the efficiency of Wang Xuance, Du He, Ma Zhou, Liu Renliang, and Shangguanyi, they should have been counted a long time ago.

Wang Xuance, the highest official position, was full of excitement, and his voice trembled: "This harvest is really amazing. There were more than 320,000 horses, more than 510,000 sheep, and the least number of cattle, but there were more than 90,000 heads. However, there are more than a million pieces of all kinds of furs, more than 50,000 catties, and 103,900 catties of barley. Three thousand eight hundred and five pounds of gold, six thousand six hundred and twenty-one pounds of silver, and all kinds of precious ......"

"My God, there are so many?" Even though he was prepared, Luo Tong couldn't help but jump in his heart when he heard this number.

"The Governor takes a step to speak!" Seeing that Luo Tong was happy and stupid, Liu Renliang couldn't help but speak!

Wang Xuance, Du He, Ma Zhou, Liu Renliang, and Shangguan Yi also want to say the same words as Liu Boying, and they also want to know about Shuo Fang and take precautions as soon as possible.

Luo Tong just smiled, just like answering Liu Boying's answer, and said: "The eldest husband has done something and not done something, and he has indeed violated the basic law by using strategic materials without authorization. I have my reasons, and in the current situation, I have to do the same. I've done everything, but I'm afraid that others won't be able to say it? There is no need to make a fuss, if there is a punishment, there is no need to think about how to avoid it. Wouldn't it be nice to accept it generously? What is a penalty? A clear conscience is key. ”

Wang Xuance, Du He, Ma Zhou, Liu Renliang, and Shangguan Yi were moved when they heard this, and Ma Zhou was even more deeply moved: "The governor is noble in virtue, and Ma Zhou admires it." ”

"I'm so embarrassed to praise me for being so great! I still like nicknames like Killing God and Evil God! If we are really punished heavily for this, we brothers will go to the wasteland together. ”

Luo Tong smiled and put his arm around Ma Zhou's shoulders and returned to the crowd.

Ma Zhou looked at Luo Tong with an indifferent attitude and smiled faintly.
