Emperor Yang of Sui was furious when he was assassinated and decided to speed up the attack on Goguryeo. The original plan to send troops for six years was planned to send troops half a year in advance, so that the Goguryeo people could harvest food and grass and pay taxes, so that the Goguryeo court could not be unable to collect taxes.

The Great Sui Dynasty was rich in the world, with a lot of warehouses, which was definitely enough for hundreds of thousands of troops. It has been used for 20 or 30 years. Therefore, Emperor Yang of Sui was confident and looked around the world. No foreign country could be more prosperous than the Great Sui Dynasty.

At this time, I was no longer concerned about whether the Grand Canal could be completed or what level it could be.

Luo Zhaoyun and Yu Wenji were also issued an order. After the first month of the year, they immediately went to Youzhou to secretly follow the order. One was responsible for the military and the other was responsible for raising horses. They did not belong to each other and could not fight.

The local Lang General of Yingyang Mansion should cooperate fully, but Youzhou was renamed Zhuo County at the beginning of Daye, because Emperor Yang of Sui restored the second-level local system of counties.

The terrain here is very important. It is the stronghold that connects the north to the Sui Dynasty, operates the Northeast defense line and the military important place that controls Hebei internally. It also has the dual tasks of external defense and internal control.

Due to the important military status here, Yingyang Prefecture set up two places in Zhuo County, with two Yingyang Lang generals, who were not subordinate to each other. Among them, Luo Yi is one of them. Perhaps because of the noble relationship between the father and the son, he soared directly from the former General of the Cavalry and Cavalry and became one of the three Generals of Zhenglang, and the other was Zhao Shizhu!

The county magistrate of Zhuo County is Li Jing, and his official position is greater than that of the Lang General of Yingyang Prefecture, but he is not in charge of military power for the time being.

In this way, military power and governance will be separated, and military power will be avoided from being united, and the vassal kings will be divided.

………

After Luo Zhaoyun received the news, he began to prepare for returning to Zhuo County.

However, before he left the capital, he went to the palace and met Princess Ruyi in the name of visiting Queen Xiao.

The twenty-year-old Luo Zhaoyun is handsome, handsome, and both civil and military. She is indeed the object of admiration for the women of the Great Sui Dynasty. Princess Ruyi has been even more intoxicated since she saw Luo Zhaoyun's literary talent that night and could not extricate herself.

After returning, he brags in front of Queen Xiao almost every day, saying that he is very proud of his talented people in the capital, what is worthy of being a flaw, what is not a false reputation, etc., and he praises him endlessly.

Queen Xiao smiled and teased: "I don't know who it was at the beginning. When I heard about his talent and reputation, I was disdainful and mocked him for not being the general of Chengdu Ten Eighths!"

Princess Ruyi was embarrassed and the embarrassing incident was dug out. She quickly made up for it: "I was ignorant at that time. When I heard someone praise the teenager, I felt it was incredible and I couldn't help but question it. Later, I believed it too, and my mother was not allowed to make old accounts."

Queen Xiao always looked at her embarrassment with a smile and sighed at her daughter's thoughts.

………

Luo Zhaoyun came to Fengluan Palace and reported it, and was taken into the palace by the maid.

It has been a few days since he saw Queen Xiao, the mature woman's roundness, plumpness, and every frown and smile has a kind of beauty.

At the age of 34 or 35, just like a wolf or a tiger, the moment he saw Queen Xiao, the eyes of the two couldn't help but touch each other, and they felt guilty and hurriedly avoided it, blushing.

"Zhaoyun!"

Princess Ruyi saw his figure, walking in a dragon and tiger step, with a majestic and graceful step, and was a little excited. She didn't even have the princess's airs, so she got up and wanted to go down to greet her, but Queen Xiao coughed twice, reminding her to pay attention to the etiquette in the palace, and then she gave up.

"My minister Luo Zhaoyun, pay homage to Empress Xiao, Princess Ruyi!" Luo Zhaoyun bowed.

"Luo Qing is exempted from courtesy." Empress Xiao was dignified and noble, and spoke slowly: "Come here, give him a seat!"

A beautiful maid brought a soft couch to Luo Zhaoyun for kneeling on the old etiquette of the Central Plains.

"Go down."

"Here!" After the maids and eunuchs retreated, there were only three people left in the hall.

Princess Ruyi said anxiously: "Zhaoyun, you are leaving again. When do you plan to report to your father about our affairs? Last time you promised me that you would give me a clear answer to return to the capital from the border. You used to dislike him as a young man, but now I am seventeen years old."

"Seventeen years old!" Queen Xiao corrected on the side.

Luo Zhaoyun was very embarrassed and had to bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty has been in a bad mood recently. Seeing that the attack on Liaodong is about to be attacked, at this time, if I propose marriage, your Majesty is not mentally prepared, and secondly, there is a suspicion of disregarding the overall situation. Moreover, even if you really ask for it, you should have an opportunity to match it. For example, if you can make contributions in this battle against Goguryeo, when Your Majesty asks me what request, I will propose a marriage again. It will come naturally and may be a little sure."

Queen Xiao nodded frequently when she heard this. These words were quite reliable, pertinent, and sincere. It was not the time now. She approached the emperor several times, and it was difficult to say a few words. It was all because Emperor Yang of Sui was angry and wanted to attack Goguryeo. She was considering how to use troops and how to mobilize food and grass as soon as possible. She couldn't listen to anything, as if she was possessed by a demon.

It has to be said that Goguryeo became a heart-wrenching problem for Emperor Yang of Sui and was also a disaster for the face-breaking situation. It must be eliminated and conquered to be comfortable.

"General Luo's words make sense. Ruyi, you must not be too hasty. Now you are not unclear about your father's temper and emotions. You are furious at any time. Now you are proposing marriage. I guess your father will be the first to object. Other ministers have long been interested in you and want you to remove the nobles from their noble children. If you are not right, General Luo may be the target of public criticism. If you are refuted this time, it will be difficult to speak next time."

Princess Ruyi pouted her mouth and reluctantly agreed, agreeing to this statement.

"When you go to Zhuo County, General Luo, you must do your best and then make great contributions again in the battle to attack Goguryeo!" Empress Xiao immediately hoped.

"I must do my best!" Luo Zhaoyun bowed.
