"Okay, then in two months, we will launch a general attack on Xiao Chenglong, and by then, we will definitely unify Xiqiang." Luo Tong said.

Wang Qing said with a smile: "Okay, when the time comes, I am willing to follow the general Ma Xiqiang and defeat Xiao Chenglong!" ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

***********

Pingxing County.

The county watchman's house.

In the study, a man of about thirty years old was tied up and thrown on the ground, guarded by two soldiers.

Not long after, Luo Yi and Pan Long walked in, Luo Yi took a look at it and asked, "Who is this?" ”

One of the two soldiers in charge of guarding the guard reported: "Lord, this is sent by General Luo, saying that it is Xiao Chenglong's military advisor, named... Be called.... ”

"Dong Fan?"

"Yes, yes, it's Dong Fan." The soldier thought about it and hurriedly responded.

Luo Yi glanced at the Confucian on the ground, waved his hand at the two soldiers and said, "You guys go down first, there's nothing for you here." ”

"No."

The two soldiers withdrew.

Luo Yi walked to the front, looked at the young man carefully, and asked, "Your name is Dong Fan?" ”

"Humph!"

That's right, the one kneeling on the ground is Xiao Chenglong's military Dong Fan.

Originally, he should have been with Luo Tong, but Luo Tong saw that he still had some ability, considering that Luo Yi was now short of people, so he sent him to Longxi, as long as there was no Xiqiang, Dong Fan would not have any dissent when he surrendered, which was of great benefit to the forces of Longxi.

"My temper is not small, let me introduce myself, I am Luo Yi."

Luo Yi glanced at the rope tied to his body, and said to Pan Long: "Pan Long, untie the rope for him." ”

"No."

With that, Luo Yi came to the top and sat down.

Pan Long removed Dong Fan's rope, Dong Fan stood up, he shook his sleeves, and chuckled: "I heard the name of Lord Hou earlier, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

"Oh? How is it passed down from one world to another? Am I that famous? ”

Dong Fan said: "It is rumored that Corporal Hou Ye Lixian has posted several recruitment lists in Longxi, I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it." But Hou Ye, as the queen of the Tang Dynasty, gathered troops to rebel, which seemed to be unpopular with the people, and finally failed to achieve a positive result. ”

"Dong Fan, do you know that you are now a prisoner?"

"Yes."

"And what are you going to do?"

Dong Fan waved his sleeves and said, "I'm going to spend it in prison." ”

"Well said."

Luo Yi said: "From now on, you will go to stay in prison, and when you figure it out, tell me when you want!" Someone comes, press Dong Fan down, no one is allowed to visit without my order. ”

Two soldiers ran in from the outside and dragged Dong Fan out, originally Dong Fan thought that Luo Yi was acting, but he didn't expect the two soldiers to really drag him out of the study.

But he didn't shout and let the soldiers drag him away.

From beginning to end, Pan Long was watching from the side, he was very puzzled...

Pan Long asked, "My lord, why don't you recruit him?" ”

"I want to recruit him, but he waits for the price to sell, does he have the intention of taking refuge? I have to ask him to go to prison and reflect on himself, know what his name is, and then bring him out for questioning after a while. ”

Luo Yi said: "You send someone to take care of him, don't let her take the opportunity to escape." ”

"Don't worry, the lord can't escape."

Pan Long replied.

***********

In the blink of an eye, a month later.

In this month, Cheng Yanjin, Xu Maogong, and Qin Huaiyu withdrew from the battlefield with their armies and went to their respective new battlefields according to Li Shimin's will.

Cheng Yanjin and Xu Maogong, leaving more than 30,000 troops, and more than 20,000 troops of the original Qinglong Pass garrison, a total of 50,000 people, stayed in Qinglong Pass to garrison, and he led the remaining 300,000 people to Huainan.

And Qin Huaiyu has been delaying and does not dare to lead the troops to the Northern Desert. It's not that he was afraid of the Northern Desert soldiers, he was trying to take revenge, but he was worried that as soon as he left, Yangzhou would be lost, so he waited until Cheng Biting Jiner Xu Maogong arrived, and he led 250,000 soldiers north. Among the 250,000, 100,000 troops were newly recruited by Henan, and before they had undergone any training, they immediately put on armor and went to the battlefield with him.

In this way, the situation stabilized again.

Xiliang Zhou Gandang and Li Heng rested and recuperated, and the attitude of the imperial court towards Xiliang also changed from attacking and arresting to garrisoning.

Jiangnan, Huainan, and the northern desert are about to enter a new chapter of war...

At this time in Pingxing, Luo Yi called Dong Fan to the study again.

In the study, in addition to Luo Yi and Pan Long, there were also Wang Buchao, Sun Jian, Zhang Wancheng, Wang Youcheng, Li Dejiang, and Zhu Ru, standing on both sides.

Their expressions were all a little serious.

Dong Fan glanced at everyone and came to Luo Yi to salute: "Meet the general." ”

"What? Don't call me Hou Ye anymore? ”

Dong Fan is no longer as arrogant as before, hehe smiled, and said: "The general is now the general of Zhenxi, how can he be the Hou Ye, it is all in the past." ”

"Well said. Looks like you've had enough in jail. ”

Dong Fan looked embarrassed.

Luo Yi said: "Now there are only two roads in front of you; First, serve me and govern Longxi, Xiqiang, and Xueyu; Article 2.... ”

"Xiqiang, snowy region? Xiao Chenglong lost? Dong Fan asked in surprise.

Luo Yi was silent for a while, and said: "Not yet, but it's fast, I can catch you, I can also catch him, just Xiqiang, how long can I hold on?" ”

"In two months, you will see that my Longxi army is stationed in Xiqiang, and no one can stop it."

Dong Fan hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, the general's soldiers and horses are invincible, and the little Xiqiang is naturally not a problem." ”

"Then what do you mean by this, are you willing to surrender?"

"Yes, yes..."

Dong Fan looked stunned, knelt down and said, "Subordinate, meet the lord." ”

"Okay."

Everyone in the room laughed.

Luo Yi stepped forward and helped Dong Fan up: "Get up, we will be the same trench people in the future." ”

"Old general, now the titles of these six Shangshu are complete?"

"Not yet, it's still a book from the Ministry of Rites."

Luo Yi took two steps back, smiled and said, "Dong Fan listens to the seal." I will appoint you as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Originally, the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites should belong to Wu Zuliang, but after Luo Yi considered it, he left it to Dong Fan, he still wanted to guard against the family family, and did not want the family to participate too much in the internal affairs of Longxi.

And the scene just now is just a play that he and Wang Buchao discussed in advance and directed.

Hearing this, Dong Fan trembled, and replied excitedly: "I didn't expect that I am a subordinate, and the lord trusts me so much, the minister... I wish to smear the liver and brain of the Lord on the ground, and then die. ”

He really didn't expect that happiness would come so suddenly, and Luo Yi would directly appoint him as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Moreover, from Luo Yi's establishment of the six departments, it can be seen that his ambition is to follow Luo Yi, it must be more promising than following Xiao Chenglong.

He couldn't help but be excited.

Luo Yi said with a smile: "I have always used people who are suspicious, and I am not suspicious, since I have accepted you, how can I doubt you?" ”

"The lord is really a rare king, Dong Fan worships it."

Dong Fan made another move. [.]
