In the third year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty streamlined the local administrative structure and changed the three levels of prefecture, county and county into prefecture and county level. Zhuo County was removed and the area under its jurisdiction was merged into Youzhou.

In the third year of Daye of the Sui Dynasty, Youzhou was renamed Zhuojun.

Zhuojun was appointed prefect, starting from the third rank. The lower levels were Cheng, Wei, Zheng (later changed to Changshi, Sima, Zanwu), as well as the chief secretary, all Cao's subordinates, city magistrates, etc. It governed Jixian, Liangxiang, and Anci

, Zhuoxian, Gu'an, Yongnu, Changping, Huairong, Luxian and other 9 counties.

Yang Jian's father, Yang Zhong, was the founding father of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and one of the twelve generals of the Western Wei Dynasty. He had great military exploits and was promoted to Zhu State and was granted the title of Duke of Sui Dynasty. Yang Jian began his official career at the age of fourteen. After Yang Zhong's death, Yang Jian

He inherited the title of his father and later married the daughter of Dugu Xin, the general of one of the Eight Pillar States. Her daughter became the queen of Emperor Xuan of Zhou Dynasty.

What are the Eight Pillar States?

During the Later Wei Dynasty, a new aristocratic group emerged and soared into the sky, extending the life of the Chinese aristocratic era and creating an unprecedented great era. This was the Guanlong military aristocratic group that had dominated China for nearly two hundred years.

It originated from

Beiwuchuan, first built in Guanzhong, created four dynasties in total, namely the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, and Tang. This was a unique miracle in Chinese history, and pushed China to a new historical peak. Its origin was

It was one of the eight pillar states of the Western Wei Dynasty that once flourished.

The eight pillar states are: Yu Wentai, Yuan Xin, Li Hu, Li Bi, Zhao Gui, Yu Jin, Dugu Xin, Hou Mo and Chen Chong.

With these help, Yang Jian usurped the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In 581 AD, he prepared a ceremony for the emperor to sit in the Linguang Hall, named the country Sui Dynasty, changed the name of the country to the Kaihuang Dynasty, and announced a general amnesty for the world.

Yang Jian unified the world, and Luo Yi, who was originally a general in the Western Liang Dynasty, surrendered to Yang Jian. Therefore, Yang Jian ordered Luo Yi to continue to serve as the governor of Zhuo County until Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo, triggering a large-scale uprising across the country. Luo Yi also took the opportunity to rise and occupy Youzhou.

He is the land of Zhou and calls himself the General Manager of Youzhou.

Under him are the famous "Eighteen Riders of Yanyun".

They were dressed in cold clothes, with scimitars on their waists, masks on their faces, and black scarves on their heads, with only their eyes exposed. They also wore long black cloaks, and wore horse boots equipped with daggers. They all carried large bows. In addition, they

Each person also carries eighteen arrows. Yanyun's Eighteen Riders are

A very terrifying killer unit. Every time the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry appears, it will bring about a brutal massacre. According to legend, when a foreign invasion occurs, the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry kills thousands of foreign invaders at a time.

, so that foreign invaders dare not make another move for many years.

Yang Lin, the backer king, once commented on Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry: As fast as the wind, as fierce as fire, leaving no grass behind wherever it goes. With a strong bow and scimitar, good at riding and shooting. One can fight a hundred, but not even one can win.

defeat.

Its strength can be seen as average.

Duguwen led 10,000 troops to attack Luo Yi. A scout had already informed Luo Yi of the news. Luo Yi did not take these 10,000 Li and Tang soldiers seriously.

With Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry, he has won many battles, let alone a young boy.

Luo Yi, who was not worried at all, was playing chess with his counselors leisurely, until a report from a soldier interrupted his interest.

"General, someone from Li Tangfang asked to see the general outside the city."

"Oh!?" Luo Yi's face was majestic, giving off a feeling of calmness and authority. When he heard the soldier's words, his brows furrowed slightly, but they were quickly swept away.

"Bring people in."

After the soldiers left, Luo Yi turned to look at the counselor on the side and asked with a smile: "Gongsun, what do you think Li Tang is doing by sending people?"

"Haha!" The thin man called Gongsun had two small beards at the corners of his mouth. He looked so vulgar. No, his laughter made people feel like a knife cutting through the glass. It was too

It was harsh. "I think the other party was frightened by the general's bravery and wanted to negotiate with the general."

This guy's name is Gongsun Bin. He claims to be after Gongsun Zan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. His father hoped that his son could have the bravery of his ancestors and also be wise, so he named him Bin.

"Hey!" Unexpectedly, after listening to Gongsun Bin's words, the look of sadness on Luo Yi's face became even more intense. "According to the reports from my spies in Chang'an, Li Tang's strength is extraordinary. The strength shown on the day of the founding ceremony alone

, it’s beyond our reach. What’s more, do you think they don’t have any hidden strength?”

"this…"

Gongsun Bin's previous words were just flattery. He did not expect that his words would cause such a big reaction from Luo Yi.

"General, there is no need to worry!" Gongsun Bin looked confident, and under Luo Yi's gaze, he analyzed things logically.

"Although Li Tang is powerful, he is now feared by many forces. This time Li Mi united everyone to besiege Li Tang is an example. After this battle, even if Li Tang wins, he will suffer heavy casualties, and there will be no spare power to attack others.

Power? What's more, Zhuojun is so far away from Chang'an City, Li Tang will not be so laborious and expend so much manpower to attack, and now they can send ten thousand people, which is their limit. "

"Haha, after listening to Mr. Gongsun's words, I have nothing to fear in my heart!"

After listening to Gongsun Bin's analysis, Luo Yi's frown immediately relaxed and he was in a good mood, but he was still confused about the purpose of Li Tang sending people to see him this time.

"Mr. Gongsun, does he know why Li Tang sent someone to see a certain person?"

Holding the two wretched beards at the corners of his lips, Gongsun Bin lowered his head and thought for a while, but he couldn't think of any reason. However, as a counselor, he naturally had to keep his mind at ease.

"General, there is no need to worry. They are on the general's territory, so what tricks can they play?"

"Haha, what Mr. Gongsun said is absolutely true. It seems that someone is worrying too much."

In this way, Luo Yi's worries were all gone, and he was in a very happy mood waiting for the arrival of Li Tang's envoy in the hall. However, when he saw what Li Jiancheng gave him later, would it be so good?

mood.

"Duguwen, please pay your respects to Manager Luo."

A handsome man, young, looking to be in his early twenties. Under the protection of two guards, he came to Luo Yi without fear.

"What? Are you Duguwen, the deputy general who conquered our Zhuojun County?"

Luo Yi screamed in surprise. He didn't expect that the man in front of him was the general responsible for attacking his Zhuojun this time. I wonder if he was ignorant or fearless, and he actually ran to his own territory like this?

"Young man, aren't you afraid that I will detain you now?"

Luo Yi looked ruthless and threatened.

"Ha ha!"

When Dugu Wen heard this, he laughed loudly, not afraid at all because of Luo Yi's words.

"Young man, why are you laughing? You must know that you are on my territory now, and it would be easy for me to kill you. Or do you think I dare not kill you?"

Luo Yi's face looked a little ugly, he didn't expect this kid to be so rampant.

Duguwen shook his head indifferently, and before Luo Yi was about to get angry, he finally spoke.

"General Manager Wen Xiaoluo didn't know it was time to die but he didn't know it. Although Wen was dead, what did he have to fear? When the time comes, he will have the General Manager and his family by his side. How lucky he is!"

"Young man, what do you mean by this? If you don't make it clear, the sword in my hand will not be a vegetarian."

Luo Yi almost got angry, but the other party seemed to have something in his words, so he forced himself to hold it back. However, he didn't know if he could hold it back if the other party kept talking nonsense.

"Presumably Manager Luo also knows about this multi-party joint attack on Datang!"

"nature."

Luo Yi thought to himself that he was also a participant in this operation, and what you said was not unnecessary. It was just that he wanted to reap the benefits, so he had not sent troops until now.

"Does Manager Luo know the current situation?"

"this…"

Luo Yi frowned. To be honest, he certainly didn't know. Today's technology is not that advanced, so it is not surprising that some military information has to wait ten and a half months to arrive.

"I think Mr. Luo doesn't know, so let Wen Lai tell Mr. Luo." Duguwen slowly explained the situation with a faint smile on his face.

Li Tang had Li Jiancheng's intelligence unit, so a lot of information could be obtained very quickly. This is because Li Jiancheng, who came from the future world, knew the importance of information. Therefore, in this aspect, the usually kind-hearted Li Jiancheng also showed his

The cold side.

Delaying military information, lying about military information, etc. will be dealt with severely!

After listening to Dugu Wen's words, Luo Yi broke into a cold sweat. He didn't expect Li Tang to be so sharp, and he defeated several forces in one go.

"May I say a few words..." (..)
