"Your Majesty, if the conquest of Luoyang is stopped, my long-term plans will be greatly affected."

"Now the Northwest Front is still marching eastward as planned, originally in order to contain the strength of Qi Guobu in the northwest and difficult to transfer to the south to help, but unexpectedly, the battle will be like a bamboo!"

"And the southern front, because of the proximity to the capital of Qi State, the war has fallen into a stalemate."

"In this way, if our Luoyang Road army stops recruiting, the troops of Qi in the Luoyang area will inevitably be transferred to the southern front, and our army may increase the scale of casualties at that time."

After Yuwen Shihong agreed to Dugu Yongye, he put him back in Luozhou.

On the other hand, however, Gao Changgong and Liang Dong were resolutely opposed to stopping the conquest of Luoyang.

"My Yangzhou Road Army has a lot of schemes, one of which is the salt pond in Huaizhou, if you can make the Qi country lose Huaizhou, its internal chaos will be even greater!"

"Three-front battle, if one side loses, the other two lines will also be greatly affected!"

The two generals considered the overall situation, and Yuwen Shihong did not think about it, he said indifferently:

"Then according to the judgment of the generals, how long will it take to take Luoyang?"

"It's a month! Slow in 100 days! Winter is approaching, Luoyang Dan is besieged and there is no food and grass, and defeat is inevitable! Liang Dong responded.

While discussing with the two, Yuwen Shihong took a copy of the overall map from the side.

Today's Zhou and Qi are equivalent to a square, and the upper right corner of the square is the Qi State, and the Qi State has long been surrounded by the Zhou State on three sides.

But because the Jianghuai is returned to Qi, and since ancient times, the Yangtze River must be guarded, as long as the Yangtze River is still in the hands of Qi, Qi will not destroy the country.

If you lose Jianghuai, Qi will destroy the country!

"Then adjust the deployment! Right now, half of Qi Guo's energy is spent on infighting, and this opportunity must not be lost! ”

Yuwen Shihong pointed to the Yangtze River and Yangzhou on the map, and immediately ordered Gao Changgong and Liang Dong:

"The two marching generals listened to the order, and due to the change in the journey of the Luoyang Road Army, I decided to change the three-line containment to a two-line attack!"

"From now on, the two of them will immediately lead most of their respective 40,000 troops to assemble with the Yangzhou Lufan army!"

"Take the Yangtze River! One more bang for it! Take the Huai River! ”

Yuwen Shihong's gaze swept back and forth on the north bank of the Huai River, if he could make the trip, the remnants of Qi would shrink even more in the northeast corner of the Central Plains.

And Zhou Guo and Chen Guo will completely separate themselves from the Yangtze River.

But Yuwen Shihong did not have the slightest sense of vigilance against Chen Guo, because the history books mentioned that Chen Guo died at the hands of Chen Shubao, the queen of Chen Guo.

How chaotic is there in the Qi State today, after Chen Shubao succeeded to the throne of Emperor Chen, the civil strife caused by Chen State's debauchery is no worse than that of Qi State.

And although Chen has a vast territory and entrenches the entire territory south of the Yangtze River, the population of Chen is very small, only more than 2 million people.

It's vulnerable.

The only sensitive point is -

The capital of Chen's state was Jianye (Nanjing).

"I will lead 20,000 firecrackers to continue to garrison Luozhou, and the two generals will start immediately!"

"I'm going to leave soon......"

"Go to Jianye, make friends with Chen Guo, and stabilize the backyard for your conquest! Eliminate the possibility of a backyard fire! ”

The words that are good friends with Chen Guo, Gao Changgong and Liang Dong don't have any ideas in their hearts, and they don't know much about Chen Guo.

The Emperor's order has been given, and they must obey it!

In just half a day, Gao Changgong and Liang Dong successively led their respective military departments and set off! All the way to the south, through Suizhou, then to the east, through Yingzhou and then to Yangzhou, and Yangzhou Road Army!

For a time, the suburbs of Luozhou City were empty, and the 20,000 firecracker troops continued to be stationed in the camp, no longer carrying out siege military affairs, but only in the garrison camp!

Even if peace talks have been reached, it is still necessary to be vigilant against sneak attacks!

……

In Luozhou City, as soon as Dugu Yongye returned to the city, his colleagues just breathed a sigh of relief for his safety, and the next second they tensed their nerves because of his words:

"The official has agreed to surrender peacefully, and your colleagues will quickly pass on the order, so that the people do not have to travel long distances to take refuge."

"Master Chen, you lead all the officials to coordinate all the defaults in the city, and give me a list of defaults for materials and materials."

After a pause, Dugu Yongye continued:

"Be sure to coordinate everything in detail, and this official will have to see if your Zhou Guo is really consistent with his words and deeds, or if he is just clever words."

After a hurried order, although the colleagues were reluctant, they could only obey the order.

The people lived in the streets in a daze, and gradually, the rumors outside the city also reached the ears of the people.

"It is said that the Zhou troops outside the city have withdrawn, but there are still a lot left, at least 20,000."

"Even if it's 20,000, you can't beat it."

"Who said that it can't be defeated, all the people in our city add up, there are 40,000! If you fight for people's heads, we will definitely fight in Luozhou! ”

"If you want me to say that we are too strong, will Lord Taishou be planning something, such as tricking them into withdrawing the army, and the remaining military strength will definitely be able to run away in a war!"

"But don't, I just want to live a good life, I don't want to fight."

"Surely we won't be called, and we won't fight, huh? Isn't there a force on the Luoyang side? 20,000 enemy troops! If only Luoyang could send troops over! Definitely got it! ”

……

Late that night, Dugu Yongye seemed to be a communication scout, counted the list of assets and belongings, and carried a large wooden box to ride out of Luozhou City in person.

His several comings and goings had already caused the guards inside and outside the city to relax their vigilance, allowing him to come and go so freely.

Even if you want to see Yuwen Shihong, you can immediately go to Yuwen Shihong's camp with the escort of the forbidden army.

In Yuwen Shihong's tent, Dugu Yongye even drank two cups of tea calmly, silently watching Yuwen Shihong look through the boxes he brought out.

There are more than 100 books in the box, which contain the names of the people in Luozhou City, as well as the location of the fields under their names, the number of acres, and so on.

casually glanced at it, and Yuwen Shihong could see that he was quite orderly and clear.

In the entire city of Luozhou, there are only a few dozen people who can be called "landlords", and the number of acres of land under their names is about 1,000 acres.

Compared with those landlords and gentry in Yangzhou, this is nothing at all.

"Your Majesty Zhou, the list of materials I need in Luozhou is here."

"I wonder when I'll be there?"

Dugu Yongye said boldly.

Yuwen Shihong kept smiling, put down the book that recorded the people's household registration, and picked up the more than ten things that were put aside.

"Polished rice 30,000 stones? 30,000 sheep? 50,000 liters of refined salt? Yuwen Shihong thought it was funny, and chattered while laughing.

And this smile seemed to Dugu Yongye to be a lion laughing at him:

"What, that's a dilemma?"

Hearing this, Yuwen Shihong shook his head and replied with a smile:

"I thought it would be a little bit of a request, hehe."

"It's better for Lord Dugu to take my order, and go and get it yourself."

"Huh?" Dugu Yongye was stunned:

"Go...... Where to get it? ”

"Naturally, it's the Sinong Temple in Beijing." After a pause, Yuwen Shihong said again:

"I know you still have a lot of worries on your mind, and the best way to get rid of them is to see for yourself."

"How? Would you like to make this trip yourself? ”
