Chapter 451: On Heroes
Li Jing heard Luo Zhaoyun say many opinions, including some of them being talkative and criticizing current problems. He also had a lot of analysis on the current situation of the Sui Dynasty, which made him deeply touched.
"General Luo, how do you think of these rebel leaders who are treacherous and rebellious everywhere?" Li Jing asked, this was a problem that had been tangled with him.
Li Jing was born in a family of officials. His grandfather Li Chongyi was once the governor of Yinzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was named Yongkang Duke. His father Li Quan served in the Sui Dynasty and was appointed as the prefect of Zhao County. His uncle was Han Qinhu, a general of the Sui Dynasty, and he was a righteous general of the Sui Dynasty. He was a descendant of the aristocratic family. However, his father died early. When Li Jing grew up, his family had already declined. Because he was arrogant and did not know how to adapt when he was young, his official career was not smooth.
However, his thoughts on loyalty to the emperor and serving the country were very deep, and he did not have much affection for thieves from poor families. At this time, he asked Luo Zhaoyun about his opinion.
Luo Zhaoyun pondered for a moment and said, "The great Sui Dynasty is about to end, and heroes from all walks of life rise up, and even among the people, hundreds of miles are used as flags, and wars are everywhere. There are Gaokaidao in Hebei. Dou Jiande and Zhang Jin say, Hao Xiaode and Li Shanfei, Zhai Rang, Meng Haigong, Wang Bo, Du Fuwei, Fu Gongyou, Lin Shihong and others in the central Qi and Lu, and there are at least twenty or thirty who can say names. Without great fame, but occupying the mountain as king may not be less than a hundred ways. However, most of these people do their own things for their own benefit, take advantage of the situation, fishing for trouble, robbing families, and making houses, and it is difficult to achieve great things. To put it nicely, most of the rebels are bandits. In fact, most of them are bandits. Without military discipline, they can rob them wherever they go, harm the dealer, destroy farmhouses, and kill and set fire. Relying on this kind of team, it is not a big deal to continue the national destiny of the Central Plains court!"
After hearing this, Li Jing nodded slightly and felt that the peasant uprising army was not credible and difficult to have great ambitions. The best way to rob the rich and help the poor and the people in the area may be to bring more war and plunder.
"General Luo, if the Great Sui Dynasty is really hopeless, I wonder what your plans are?" Li Jing was in the frontier. He had no ambition to be king, but he had 30,000 soldiers in his hand and stationed for several years. He had feelings for these soldiers and generals, and he also had deep friendships with Hou Junji and others. In the future, the world would be in chaos and all parties would swallow each other's strength. He would definitely find a wise ruler to join him.
"It's too early to say it now, but I will definitely not wait to die and watch my Luo family perish and Youzhou be robbed. Therefore, once the Sui Dynasty is really corrupt and will perish, the heroes in the world will rise up and fight for hegemony. At that time, the Luo family will definitely take action." Luo Zhaoyun's words were more implicit, but the meaning was also very obvious, that is, to follow the general trend and never be foolish and loyal to the end.
Li Jing was silent and digested his remarks. These words were too shocking. If they were spread, with the suspicion and nature of His Majesty of the current dynasty, he would definitely kill three people, argue with the king, and have the intention of rebellion.
Qingshuang has calmed down because along the way, Luo Zhaoyun has told her some of her thoughts, impressed her with sincerity, so that she can know that her character and goals are not people who are loyal to the royal family and help the evil, but heroes in troubled times who have a sense of responsibility, have great talents and shoulder heavy responsibilities.
After a while, Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his fists and said, "I, Li Jing, can become a fourth-rank military officer, and I am a general in the local area. Thanks to General Luo's extraordinary promotion and given opportunities. Moreover, after a few years of charisma, I have long known that General Luo is a human being. If there is really a day when the country is not in a state and the world is in chaos, Li Jing is willing to continue to follow General Luo and complete a major event."
Luo Zhaoyun's eyes lit up, and he was secretly happy. He knew that he had read the wrong person and bet on this person in advance. With Li Jing's personality, he would do his best. Moreover, he was not a capricious person. He felt much more at ease after he received his response.
"General Li, I've been so serious about you. In fact, I have always regarded you as my elder brother. Zhao Yun admired you very much. He got along with me in the past and learned a lot from his elder brother. Those self-created military formations have benefited a lot. It can be said that we are both teachers and friends. Although we have different military ranks, Zhao Yun really wants to continue to work hand in hand with his elder brother in the future and make a great achievement!"
"Of course, the centipede worm will die without being stiff. If you are eager to achieve success, it will be counterproductive. After all, we are still generals of the Sui Dynasty. After all, we should stand in the last post and serve the country. Mr. Meng said it well. The people are the most important, and the country is the second. The king is the least. We use the power in our hands to protect the people from suffering. We have a clear conscience and are worthy of the iron armor on our body!"
Li Jing was excited and deeply agreed with Luo Zhaoyun's words. He was born into an official and noble family, and he had a sense of pride and Confucian idea of governing the world. He managed his family and governed the country and pacified the world. He had been determined to be a famous general, defend his country and do great things since he was a child. However, now he is almost at the age of knowing his destiny, and he still has not reached the prestige and height of his uncle Han Qinhu. He was a little annoyed. If there was a torrent of revolution in the Central Plains, it would be a good opportunity for him to show his talents.
"General Luo, you and your brother and sister are in a hurry and are rushing over from the Turkic grassland. There are thousands of miles of roads. If you are very tired, you might as well go take a shower and change your clothes and take a break. I will ask my inner person to cook some food. Let's have a good meal in the evening. I will call Hou Junji and others to welcome General Luo."
Luo Zhaoyun also wanted to meet these acquaintances and old subordinates, and said, "The matter about my trip to Taihang Mountain needs to be kept confidential for the time being, so I will say that after the midnight dynasty, I was rescued by the caravan, but when I woke up, I saw the caravan going to the northwest border to do business. I left halfway and came here..."
He didn't want to spread the story of his robbery of the Warring States silk book, otherwise it would be difficult to be peaceful in the future. He told Li Jing truthfully because he could trust him, and secondly, because of the bearded guest, Li Jing would sooner or later know that he would not be able to hide it, so he didn't want to tell others.
"Okay, I'll follow General Luo's arrangement!" Li Jing agreed readily.
Luo Zhaoyun and Qingshuang got up and went to the backyard. Li Jing arranged a maid to prepare hot water and clean clothes for the two of them.
The two took a bath separately, soaked their bodies to relieve their weakness, and then changed into brand new and clean robes. The man was as handsome as jade, extremely handsome, upright and mighty as a woman, youthful and beautiful, graceful and beautiful.
After the two of them were dressed, the room they stayed in was arranged. Luo Zhaoyun and Qingshuang went back to the room first to rest for a while.
Qingshuang sat on the edge of the bed and whispered: "This Li Jing is good, he is sincere and upright, you have not read the wrong person."
Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly because he was familiar with historical figures and had a certain advantage in identifying people, so he would predict it before he could not tell. Next, he would observe the attitudes of Hou Junji and others, and wait for the Northwest Yingyang Mansion troops to prepare for the chaos in the Sui Dynasty later. At least this force could restrict Li Yuan from entering Chang'an in the future and perform miraculous results.
