The news of the four brothers of the Xue family's attempt to rebel was like a big stone, which weighed down the general manager of Youzhou for several days. It's just that he can't follow the advice of the elder Shi Qinyong to send someone back and cut the other party with a knife. Killing and surrendering without conclusive evidence in hand will make him fall into a reputation for narrow-mindedness. Moreover, the Xue brothers were the first foreign force to take refuge in Youzhou, and how Luo Yi treated them would become a reference for other latecomers. Once the death of the four brothers is unknown, no one in the world will dare to take refuge in Youzhou.

Luo Yi can't turn a deaf ear to rumors! That is equivalent to gambling the loyalty of the Xue family brothers with the safety of tens of thousands of troops. The stakes were too big for him to make. Xue Shixiong's two defeats were because of the conspiracy of the Youzhou army, which the Xue brothers would not be unaware of. They took refuge in Youzhou because of the situation, and once the situation may be unfavorable to Youzhou, the Xue brothers will inevitably think of their father's hatred.

Zhuangwu General Liu Yifang saw that Luo Yi was sad and thought of a compromise for him. It was suggested that he transfer the infantry of the loyal generals stationed outside the Saiwai to deter Zhuhu to defend Yuyang. Although General Bu offended many people because of his temper, his loyalty to the Youzhou Army was evident every day. With him in charge of Yuyang, one can ensure that the army's future retreat will not be lost. Second, it can also deter the Xue family brothers, so that they dare not act rashly.

"A way out? Ziyi, do you think it is impossible for us to defeat the Boling Army with a woman as the commander? "Luo Yi agrees with the first half of Liu Yifang's proposal, but is very dissatisfied with what he said in the second half of the proposal." What is a guaranteed way out? When did we Tiger Riders bow their heads to the enemy? Back then, we used 5,000 brothers to fight against the 100,000 troops of the Saiwai Zhuhu, and we still killed them, but now we want to retreat without a fight? Ziyi, have you lived too nourishingly over the years, and have forgotten the taste of human blood! ”

"Unexpected victory and defeat were taught by the great generals back then. Ziyi is stupid, but he never dares to forget! Liu Yifang bowed slightly and answered truthfully.

"Nonsense, when did the old man teach you this?" Luo Yi raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of anger. The other party is his confidant, but it does not mean that he can lose face in front of everyone. Now he needs absolute obedience, absolute authority, and no one, for whatever reason, will be unforgivable!

The silence in the military tent was terrifying, and the faint sound of war drums came from the wind, knocking people's hearts directly to their throats. General Luo is no longer the great general of the year, and the last time General Bu said a few wrong words, he was punished by him to think about it. Today, Liu Yifang confronted him in public, and he didn't know what the consequences would be.

Just as everyone was trying to find something to talk about to ease the atmosphere in the tent, Liu Yifang stood solemnly with his fists and replied loudly. "In the autumn of the fifteenth year of the emperor's reign, the general led us to attack the Turks in the north, stored grain and grass along the way, and sent strong men to build a camp to protect it. The last general asked why, and the marshal said that the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and there is no general in the world who will never be defeated. If you can maintain a calm mind in the face of a big victory, you can leave a way out for yourself in case of accidents. Even if you suffer from occasional setbacks, you can quickly make a comeback! ”

"You flamboyant egg, go to war. If you can't break through Yi County today, you are not allowed to come back for dinner! Luo Yi raised his leg and kicked Liu Yifang, and scolded with a smile.

The other party said it reasonably and affectionately, so that he couldn't bear to be angry at all. Unexpectedly winning and defeating before defeat was indeed the theory of using troops that he instilled in his subordinates when he led the troops out of the fortress, and the prestige of Luo Yi, the general of Yum, was not completely cut by a piece of knife. An accurate understanding of the strength of the enemy's army, an accurate grasp of the will to fight on both sides of the enemy, as well as concern for the safety of the soldiers and soldiers, and love for the brothers under his command...... All these are the inevitable factors that have brought him to where he is today. But how did I forget what I had said today? Looking at Liu Yifang's back as he turned away, Luo Yi asked himself. He Huo Ran found that he had indeed become too much, and he was no longer the responsible, magnanimous, and indomitable General Luo that he had before. Suspicious, irritable, self-serving, and the shortcomings that I hated now appear in me one by one. Compared with some arrogant and domineering children of the family back then, it is all better.

"Ziyi!" After chasing forward for more than a dozen steps, Luo Yi, the general of Huben, called back Liu Yifang, who had already walked out of the military tent. "Attack the city at normal intensity, and watch out for casualties. If the morale of the enemy is still as strong as before, just retreat. Let's think of something else in the evening! ”

"No!" Liu Ziyi turned around and gave a military salute to the commander in a dignified manner.

"You egg, be careful not to get hurt by the crossbow!" Luo Yi opened his mouth and scolded again in front of countless soldiers. He felt his mood instantly lighten and his mind sharpened.

"Someone, write a letter for the old man, and summon Wan Che, the younger brother of Xue Wanjun, the guard of Beiping County, Wan Che, the old man is old and needs a brave man to be the commander of the guard!" Luo Yi's eyes flashed, and he instantly made a decision that made all his cronies stunned. After pondering for a while, he continued to order: "Send someone to Hejian with the old man's arrows, and order Cheng'er to lead the army back and camp in Shucheng, ninety miles northeast of Hejian." Don't ignore Dou Jian's German army, and don't cross the river to attack Zhao Ziming's troops! ”

"Yes!" The henchmen who remained in the military tent agreed, and separately implemented the details of the implementation of the two orders.

Dou Jiande is by no means here for An Min as he himself said. His main purpose in going north was to fight for Hejian County. Since Wang Cong, the guardian of Hejian County, refused to belong to Youzhou, there was no need for Luo Chengcheng to help him guard the county seat. When the county soldiers were beaten all over the ground by Dou Jiande looking for teeth, Wang Cong naturally wanted to ask Luo Cheng for help. At that time, no matter what conditions Youzhou County proposed, the Hejian Wang family had no room for bargaining.

In addition, the cooperation between Dou Jiande and the six counties of Boling may also be under pressure from Youzhou. As soon as Luo Cheng's soldiers and horses retreated, the cooperation between the rogues and Boling lost its foundation. Compared to Hejian County, which has been suffering from war for many years, Xindu County, which has been implementing the Tuntian New Deal for two years, must be more tempting to the rogues.

At present, the troops of the six counties are busy dealing with Youzhou, and Xindu County is like an egg that has been stripped of its shell to Dou Jiande and Gao Kaidao. The wheat that is being filled, the defenseless big city, the busy bazaar, if Dou Jiande can hold back and not rob it, he is not the leader of the rogues, but the first gentleman of the ages.

"Handsome and smart!" Someone quickly realized the subtlety of retreating and praised with a smile.

"Gao Ming, if you are really smart, you won't be blocked here!" Luo Yi smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be a sycophant, it's important to do business." Lao Qin, how were the things arranged that day, did the envoy send it? ”

"We set off that night. But the road ahead was blocked by General Lu, and he could only make a detour from the Juma River. Along the way, you have to avoid the other party's cross-examination, and it is estimated that you will not be able to reach your destination until the day after tomorrow at the earliest! Elder Shi Qinyong thought for a moment and replied in a low voice.

"his grandma's, it will take half a month to talk about this thing again and again, it is estimated that the meat bun beat the dog!" Luo Yi scolded with a smile and shook his head again and again. "Lao Qin, do you have any way to arrange for me to meet directly with the surnamed Lu, I have taken a look these days, this son is very disciplined in the use of soldiers, and he is a rare general. He is against us, but he is just to protect the country and the people! If we promise not to harass the people of the six counties, and to treat Li Zhongjian's widow well, I think maybe he will consider ending this war! ”

"There is little hope for this. But the old minister will try his best to arrange it! Qin Yong's tone of reply was full of hesitation. It is true that convincing an enemy general is much more effective than buying a county guard, but the perspective of the marchers is often very different from that of the civilian officials. Civil officials like to compare the strength of the two sides, and are accustomed to seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. However, many warriors often do things only with a blood and bravery, loyalty, righteousness, and reputation, and these things that cannot be seen and touched have a greater impact on them than civil officials.

"How do you know if it's okay if you don't try? Li Zhongjian is dead, who General Lu is fighting for, there must be an explanation! Luo Yi waved his arm vigorously and explained his arrangement from the perspective of a military general.

"Warriors have their own duties!" Since the first day of Luo Yi's army, the late general Wang Yangshuang taught him like this. For decades, he has been fighting from east to west, and while achieving his life goals step by step, he has also kept feeling Yang Shuang's teachings.

"The duty of a military commander is to guard!" For decades, Luo Yi has led the Tiger Ben Iron Horse to guard the border of the Great Sui like the Great Wall, and has never forgotten that he is a warrior. According to the same reasoning, the enemy general Lu Qin must also be guarding something, a promise? A bit of trust? Or is it the friendship between Li Xu's master and slave? No matter what he is protecting, as long as Luo Yi can be clear, he can negotiate openly and honestly with the other party. Negotiate with the general's respect for the general and the general's understanding of the general, end this endless war, and restore peace to all places.

Comparing hearts to hearts, Luo Yi decided that there was a great hope of success in the negotiations. Li Zhongjian came from a humble background, and his life trajectory is extremely similar to himself. As for Lu Qin and Zhao Ziming, the pillars of the current six counties, Luo Yi can deduce from the name that they will not be born into any famous family. So, what do they desperately need? Luo Yi can completely guess. The most critical point is that Li Xu is dead, and everyone must find another hero to assist. Compared with those families who think they are high, Luo Yi, who is also from a poor family, is definitely more suitable for the old generals of the Boling Army. Luo Yi can even guarantee that he will avenge them within a few years, kill Liu Changgong and Duan Da, and use their heads to pay tribute to Li Xu's spirit in the sky.

Even if everyone doesn't plan to avenge Li Xu, it is also the best choice to become one with Youzhou. Li Zhongjian is dead! This is the most favorable condition for Youzhou. With the strength of a widow alone, Mrs. Li would definitely not be able to keep the six counties. If there is no strong man to take her lead, the imperial court will soon send someone to take over General Li's territory. Even if the imperial court is unable to send people over for the time being, the position of the chief administrator will be empty for a long time, which will cause countless people to prying eyes. Instead of handing over the six counties to others, it is better to hand them over to the Youzhou army. At the very least, Luo Yi can promise Mrs. Li's transcendent status, and he can also guarantee that the policies that General Li adhered to during his lifetime will continue the good governance such as opening a branch and awarding Tian Anmin. That is General Li's wish, and it is also the only choice that must develop and grow for Youzhou, which is extremely lacking in baggage and talents.
