Luo Yi doesn't need Li Xu to have the ability to recommend him as the ambassador of Hebei Province to arrest him, he just needs the other party to show an attitude. Regardless of whether the latter openly admits or implicitly acquiesces in their dominance in Hebei, the Youzhou Army can easily pocket Hejian, Pingyuan, Bohai and other counties.

At present, Xue Shixiong's troops are disabled, Dou Jiande and others have not yet become a climate, and only the Boling Army in Hebei can create some trouble for Youzhou. As for the reaction of the imperial court, Luo Yi did not consider it when he was the self-proclaimed governor of Youzhou, and now that his foundation in Liaodong and Youzhou has gradually stabilized, he will not consider the imperial court that even self-protection is about to become a problem.

But is Li Xu willing to cooperate? Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, was not at all sure about this. His neighbor's temper is notoriously stubborn, as hard and inelastic as a piece of pig iron. It turned out that as a colleague, Luo Yi was very appreciative of this temper. He thinks that young people should have some character, and if everyone is like an officialdom tumbler, it will be very boring to deal with them. But now, he hopes that Li Xu will have a higher vision and recognize the fact that the Great Sui Dynasty is about to die. Instead of continuing to do the duty of a courtier to die for him, it is better to take the opportunity to take his career one step further.

Man is not an animal and does not need blood. What the children of the noble family can do, Luo Yi can do, or even do better. Over the years, it is with this belief that Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou, has slowly climbed from a guard from a poor family to the position of brigade leader, governor, general, and general, and finally became a prince of one side. Now, he hopes that he can take the entire family one step further like the legendary heroes of his predecessors.

One step further, you can turn your home into a country.

Just like the Liu Jinu more than 100 years ago, when people mention his name, they will only remember the great achievements he once established, and they will never dare to look down on his past experience of collecting firewood and carrying water for people. Even the small streets where he once lived, full of sewage and flies, would be fenced off with brick walls covered with green tiles, and became a scenery that literati and artists would never want to return.

He hoped that Li Xu could understand his feelings, because the two had almost identical backgrounds and experiences. Sometimes looking at the trajectory of Li Xu's growth, Luo Yi even feels that what he sees is his shadow after being abbreviated. But he was very worried that Li Xu would refuse to cooperate even if he understood him. Because at the same age, Luo Yi himself is also a person who has clear grievances and will not change his principles because of interests.

Therefore, after pushing Xue Shixiong's troops into the abyss for the second time, Luo Yi did not immediately lead the army south. On the one hand, he deployed tens of thousands of troops on the banks of the Sanggan River to show his confidence and strength to the surrounding counties. On the other hand, he sent his most capable henchman Liu Yifang to Boling to submit a letter to express his admiration and respect for this neighboring force.

For the Youzhou Army, which had the most powerful attack force of the Great Sui Dynasty, Luo Yi had done his best to do so. If the other party's principal is smart enough, he will quickly make a judgment about the situation and thus choose a response that is beneficial to both parties. Even before Liu Yifang arrived, Boling should be able to see what was best for him, so as to accept the favor sent by Youzhou.

The negotiation process was clearly not smooth. More than half a month has passed since Xue Shixiong's defeat, and Liu Yifang has left Jixian County for more than ten days, and there is still no accurate answer from the south.

Luo Yi waited a little angry in his heart. But it can't be shown in front of the generals. There are a large number of young generals under his command who have never experienced a big war, and they have long been holding back their strength to fight the Boling army. Some people are for the overall development of Youzhou in the future, and some people simply want to get the false name of defeating the champion general. If Luo Yi, as the coach, can't control the situation anymore, maybe a few bold people will bypass him and take the initiative to provoke trouble.

Of course, if the other party continues to be obsessed, Luo Yi is not afraid to teach him a lesson. The prestige is out, although the Youzhou Army is a tiger, after all, it has not shown its teeth for a long time. Occasionally let others see it clearly, and it is not without help to win the championship in the future.

But that was the last step, and Luo Yi didn't want to do it unless it was a last resort. The surname Li is a military general who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and his ability must be several times higher than that of the young people in the Youzhou Army who shout and shout every day. Fight to the end with him, and even if the Youzhou army wins in the end, it will be broken. It is not conducive to the future development of its own family, and it is also cheaper for other deer chasers.

"This Li Zhongjian, I hope he is smarter!" Tormented by the taste of waiting, Luo Yi stood up from behind the handsome case and walked to the window of the conference hall. The clever guards hurriedly ran forward and opened the window carved out of Nanmu for the general, and the sunlight immediately poured in for a long time, illuminating the scimitar on the weapon rack awe-inspiring.

Outside the window, it was already March, and the weather was still a little cold. The early-blooming apricot blossoms shrank and met the biting cold wind with their bloody frozen faces. It is a scenery unique to the north, poignant and heroic. Just like many men in the land of Yan Zhao, they would rather turn into red mud after being gorgeous than go through this life in a nest.

The sky is blue, and the wind is cold. If it weren't for the dream in his heart that had been burning for many years, Luo Yi would even want to settle down like this, guarding one side and waiting for the troubled times to end. But he knew that he couldn't calm down, and the temptation in front of him was too great, so big that people always felt that it was within reach, and it hardly took half of his strength.

His gaze swept over the carved beams, and his attention was drawn to the noise in the distance. More than 100 steps away from the council hall is a small school field. His son Luo Cheng is instructing the new soldiers to practice martial arts there. According to the tradition of the Youzhou Army, the personal soldiers of the main general are preferentially selected from the descendants of middle and low-level generals. Those selected young people were with the young marshal when they first joined the army, which was very beneficial to the development of the entire Youzhou Army and their personal growth in the future.

The four pikemen were called out of the column by Luo Cheng and practiced their combined attack tactics with him. Luo Cheng, who is holding a long lance, is obviously too much higher than these peers in terms of martial arts attainments, and he is one against four, but he forces the other party to make frequent flaws. Soon, a spearman lost the protection of his companion because of his too big step, Luo Cheng quickly used a lance to separate this person from other companions, separated, swinged, picked, stabbed, after a few clean moves, the lance blade stuck to the opponent's lower abdomen and went empty, and then pushed his arm flat and swept him to the ground with a mallet.

"You're dead!" Ignoring the reddened face of the fallen man, Luo Cheng shouted with a smile. Then he quickly twisted his body, avoiding the other spear that stabbed in front of him, followed closely, clamping the shaft of the gun with his armpit, and the blade swam against it like a snake.

"I'm dead!" The second personal soldier did not wait for Luo Cheng's decision, took the initiative to drop his weapon and quit the battle group. The remaining two opponents saw that the situation was not good, and turned around to leave, Luo Cheng quickly chased after him and knocked each person's helmet.

"Bell!" The metal helmet collided with the four-foot lance, making a screeching noise. The two pro-soldiers couldn't bear it anymore, and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. "Expose your back to your opponent and die faster, how many times have I told you!" Luo Cheng threw the lance to the soldiers beside him, and then stepped forward quickly and picked up the two soldiers who were holding their heads and groaning. "Go, everyone runs ten laps around the school field, and then returns to the team after a long memory!" He shouted the order, his face full of hatred that iron does not make steel.

"Cheng'er, come here!" Seeing that his son's training requirements were a little too strict, Luo Yi held his hand on the window edge and shouted loudly.

"Father, wait a minute, I'll come immediately!" Luo Cheng replied dryly, then took the face towel from the hands of his own soldiers and wiped the sweat and dirt off his face. He carefully checked the silver armor brocade robe he was wearing, and when he found that his whole body was neatly tidied up, he walked to the meeting hall of the Youzhou Army with a smile.

The appearance of the father and son is very different, Luo Yi suffered a lot when he was young, so his complexion is dark, his skeleton is thick, and his smile always has a sense of vicissitudes. But Luo Cheng completely inherited the advantages of his mother's family, born with red lips and white teeth, ape arms and wolf waist, and a smiling face as bright as the sun.

Seeing his son's relaxed expression, Luo Yi couldn't find a clue what he wanted to say. "Don't push them too hard, take your time one step at a time. These people will be your arms in the future, and if you hurt any of them, you will lose more than you gain! After thinking for a while, he said in front of him, but he didn't know how much his son could understand.

"Don't you often say that a strict teacher makes a high apprentice? Besides, if they can't endure this little hardship, how can they follow me to the battlefield again. It's better to stay in the rear and be a civil official, at least you can live longer! Luo Cheng smiled and replied nonchalantly. In his eyes, his father gets older and softer, not at all like his father who tied himself to his chest when he was a child. At that time, his face was splashed with the blood of the enemy, and he was not allowed to cry, but now he was a little harsher with his subordinates, but he wanted to interfere arbitrarily.

"Well, go ahead, you have your way of refining!" Luo Yi smiled and waved his hand, unwilling to dwell too much on these details with his son. The juniors who grew up in the honey pot are not themselves, and without the experience of being a soldier under the command of others, they will not know how to understand the feelings of ordinary soldiers like themselves.

Looking at his son's upright back, he suddenly felt a little empty in his heart. The sons and the young people on the school field were born knighted, and for them, the fame and wealth that their fathers had traded for their lives were almost at their fingertips, and they did not have to pay any price.

Can such a young man summon the same courage as he did in the face of strong walls and feathered arrows?

Luo Yi didn't know, he would rather not pursue that answer.
