In the back hall of the governor's office, Luo Yi stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, staring at the sky worriedly, he had been closely watching the changes in the situation in Hebei, but he did not dare to face the consequences of the changes in the situation, until today he learned that Zhang Xuan sent troops to Shanggu County, he knew that he could no longer escape.
In addition to Youzhou, Zhang Xuan has unified Hebei and Liaodong, so his next target must be Youzhou, which even a fool can see.
Although Wen Yanbo comforted himself that Zhang Xuan would not attack Youzhou immediately, he also believed that Wen Yanbo's analysis was correct, but the question was, Zhang Xuan would come sooner or later, once the Qingzhou army attacked in a big way, would his 20,000 troops be able to hold Youzhou?
Luo Yi sighed secretly, the answer was already self-evident.
So what should I do? It is a way to accept the Turkic army into Youzhou, but I am afraid that it is easy to invite the gods and send the gods, once the Turkic army enters Hebei, then he Luo Yi will become a sinner in the world.
But what else can he do?
Just when Luo Yi was worried, a soldier reported loudly in the hall: "Governor Qiqi, the King of Tang sent a messenger to ask for a meeting!" ”
Luo Yi was stunned for a moment, he didn't hear clearly, and asked again, "Who is it?" ”
"The envoy sent by the Tang King of Chang'an asks to see you!"
Li Yuan sent a messenger to see him? Luo Yi was only slightly surprised, but immediately understood, he took the post and looked at it, it was actually Li Yuan's secretary Wen Daya who joined the army as an envoy, he almost felt that God was favoring him, and just when he was most desperate, hope appeared. Li Yuan was suddenly overjoyed, and he didn't care about his manners, so he hurriedly greeted him.
Outside the gate, Wen Daya stood in front of the steps and waited for a long time, when there was a rush of footsteps in the house. More than one person, Wen Daya saw Luo Yi who was walking in front in a hurry at a glance, and he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, what his brother said was really good, and he knew how timely he was from Luo Yi's eager attitude.
Wen Daya had studied at the Lu family for a few years, and when he saw Luo Yi, he stepped forward and smiled: "Luo Dudu, I haven't seen you for many years." ”
"Wen joined the army, it was really a long way off. Let the army wait for a long time. ”
Luo Yi's face was full of brightness, and there was a smile in every pore, and many of the soldiers were surprised, they hadn't seen the governor so enthusiastic for many years.
Luo Yi was anxious, and hurriedly invited Wen Daya into the official office, he looked back, but he didn't see Wen Yanbo, Luo Yi asked strangely: "Didn't Yanbo come with the army?" ”
Wen Daya smiled faintly. "I haven't had time to see him yet, business is important."
"That's too. Join the Army, please! ”
"Governor, please!"
The two walked into the door together, until they came to the guest hall, Luo Yi invited Wen Daya to sit down, and ordered the maid to serve tea, he sat opposite Wen Daya, Luo Yi smiled: "I heard that Duke Li has entered Chang'an and is the king of Tang." Congratulations! ”
"We went all the way south, basically did not encounter any resistance, even Qu Tutong was willing to be loyal to Li Gong, it can be seen that the people's hearts are wanted, but my Tang King is just to help the Great Sui Sheji. This time, I was specially ordered to come to Youzhou as an envoy to listen to the opinions and suggestions of Luo Dudu. ”
Wen Daya said very implicitly, that is, to ask Luo Yi which Sui Dynasty he recognized, was it the Sui Dynasty in Chang'an, or the Sui Dynasty in Jiangdu?
Luo Yi is not interested in which Sui Dynasty, what he cares about is what he can get?
Luo Yi pondered and asked, "Is Youzhou so important to Li Gong?" ”
"Of course, the Tang King sent two envoys as soon as he opened the palace, one is the general doctor Zhang Lun, he is from Bashu, so he went to recruit the counties of Bashu, and the second is me, ordering me to come to Youzhou to meet Luo Dudu, which shows that Tang Wang attaches great importance to Luo Dudu."
Speaking of this, Wen Daya took out a letter from her bosom and presented it to Luo Yi, "This is a handwritten letter from the Tang King of my family to the governor, please take a look at it." ”
Luo Yi took the letter and read it, Li Yuan said very frankly in the letter, hoping that he could accept Chang'an's canonization, but the letter did not mention what he planned to seal him?
Of course, Luo Yi cares about the title very much, Zhang Xuan was named the Duke of Qi, he is the Duke of Beiping County, which makes him really uncomfortable, but the title is only one aspect, now he is more concerned about his retreat, if Li Yuanken sends troops to contain Zhang Xuan to go north, of course it is the best, if he really can't contain it, then he can also have a place to go.
Since Li Yuan was so frank in the letter, Luo Yi was no longer subtle, he said slowly: "Wen should also know that Zhang Xuan has just destroyed Bohai Hui and Dou Jiande, and now Hebei is his territory except for Youzhou, even including Liaodong, his next step must be against Youzhou, I want to know, if I accept Chang'an Zhao'an, once Zhang Xuan leads the army to attack Youzhou, will Tang Wang's army come out of Jingcheng to attack Hebei and contain Zhang Xuan from the west?" ”
Wen Daya specially talked to Li Yuan about this matter before leaving, Li Yuan and Pei Lian both believed that even if they sent troops to Jingcheng, Youzhou would still not be able to hold it, Zhang Xuan's strength was too strong, not to mention that Liu Wuzhou seriously threatened the safety of Taiyuan.
It's just that they urgently need an army to contain Liu Wuzhou from the north, thinking about it, only Luo Yi's Youzhou army is the most suitable, but they absolutely can't tell Luo Yi the real purpose, they can only appease him from Luo Yi's point of view.
Wen Daya said with a smile: "The reason why we came to contact Luo Dudu is, of course, to hope to get Youzhou, a strategic place in Hebei, and lay the foundation for our future unification of Hebei, so if the Qingzhou army goes north, we will definitely not stand idly by, and we will definitely try our best to contain them, or go to Jingcheng, or go to Fukou, or even attack Hanoi County, no matter what, our army will definitely appear in Hebei." ”
Luo Yi has always been shrewd and cunning, how could he believe it because of Wen Daya's two words of sending troops, for Li Yuan, he is happy to get Youzhou, but there is no loss if he can't get it, so Luo Yi is a little skeptical about Li Yuan's sincerity in sending troops, will Li Yuan send troops for Youzhou and Zhang Xuanhuo? Apparently not.
Luo Yi sneered twice in his heart and asked, "What if King Tang's army can't contain Zhang Xuan's army going north?" ”
Wen Daya still said unhurriedly: "If Luo Dudu really can't hold Youzhou, he can also lead the army westward and enter Yanmen County from Flying Fox, and the army of Bingzhou will meet the Youzhou army to go south, and we will give Luo Dudu a temporary place to resettle, and when the time is ripe, we will support Luo Dudu to counterattack Youzhou." ”
This sentence is quite realistic, and Luo Yi also knows that this is the greatest sincerity that Li Yuan can do, and he also has a way out for himself.
Luo Yi no longer bothered about Li Yuan's dispatch of troops, and asked with a smile: "In the letter, King Tang promised to make me a high-ranking official, but did he say it clearly, I want to know what Chang'an's sincerity is?" ”
"Please rest assured!"
Wen Daya bowed and said: "Because the official lord will be canonized by the decree of the Son of Heaven, it is difficult for the Tang King to say it clearly, and he will never disappoint Luo Dudu." ”
Luo Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, it was not the Son of Heaven in Jiangdu, but Li Yuanli's Emperor Yining, and he asked again: "What is it?" ”
Wen Daya smiled slightly, "The Son of Heaven will crown Luo Du as the general of Zuo Yiwei, give him the title of King of Beiping County, and open the palace with the three divisions, I have brought the holy decree, if Luo Du Du is willing to accept it, I will officially announce the decree." ”
This result made Luo Yi very happy, he wanted to think that he would be crowned the Duke of Yanguo, but he didn't expect that it would be the king, which greatly surprised him, Luo Yi's heart was agitated, and he almost agreed, but he calmed down a little, and said with a smile: "I can accept it in principle, but today is not the day to announce the decree, I will officially reply to join the army early tomorrow morning, and I will accept the decree at the same time." ”
Wen Daya knew that Luo Yi still had to think about it, so she smiled and nodded, "In that case, I will wait for the good news from the governor tomorrow morning." ”
Luo Yi sent someone to send Wen Daya to the VIP post to rest, and hurriedly asked his own soldiers to find his brother Luo Shou.
Luo Shou is Luo Yi's younger brother, the current Beiping military envoy, led 5,000 troops to guard Yuguan, due to the Qingzhou army attacking Shanggu County, Luo Yi was worried that Zhang Xuan was going to attack Youzhou in a big way, so he sent a pigeon letter to Luo Shou's 5,000 troops urgently transferred, and Luo Shou also arrived in Jixian this afternoon.
After a while, Luo Shou hurriedly came to the Governor's Office, he looked quite like Luo Yi, and said with a smile as soon as he entered the door: "I just heard that Li Yuan sent a messenger here, right?" ”
Luo Yi nodded, and told his brother Wen Daya's conditions one by one, and finally said: "I am already seven points willing now, but I still have a little hesitation, I want you to help me get an idea." ”
Luo Shou is a typical soldier, decisive, resolute, not as suspicious as Luo Yi, he thought about it and smiled: "If you write a letter to ask Yulang to persuade Zhang Xuan, does the eldest brother think Zhang Xuan will give in?" ”
Luo Yi shook his head, "First of all, I don't know where that muddy boy is now, but even if he goes to find Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan will never give up Youzhou for personal friendship, even if the relationship between the Lu family is not good, I know this very well in my heart." ”
"In that case, is there any other way out for my brother?"
Luo Yi was silent for a moment, and finally sighed, "You're right, I actually have no choice. ”
In June of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou, officially accepted the canonization of Emperor Yining of Chang'an and surrendered to Li Yuan, the king of Tang.
