Dou Jiande adopted the plan of the chief of the army, Song Zhengben, and decided not to send troops to fight against the Sui army on the north bank. The situation changed too quickly, one after another. When the allies in western Liaoning were quickly eliminated, the Hebei army alone against the Sui army in Zhuojun. After several defeats in the tough battles, he had to settle for the second best and began to build defense lines on the south bank of the Daqing River, and to isolate the four northern counties and prevent them from being interconnected with the Central Plains.

After sending this information back to the Sui Army camp, even Luo Zhaoyun was stunned. However, Luo Zhaoyun was not surprised that Dou Jiande did this. He was smart and did not choose to lose both sides for the time being and develop his own territory.

Luo Zhaoyun's strategic goal has been achieved. He fought with the Hebei army in a fierce battle, and no one could do anything to anyone, so that he could block his mouth without going south and be used as a gun by the court.

On this day, Luo Zhaoyun led his personal army to the main front line and gathered to discuss matters. Luo Yi, Xue Shixiong, and many other generals and generals gathered together, and they were all a little excited because they had just defeated Dou Jiande's army and swallowed 50,000 to 60,000 Hebei troops overnight, which was a great victory.

Xue Shixiong smiled and said, "The young marshal is indeed a god. This time he predicted the enemy's initiative and used his plans, which caused the Hebei army to suffer heavy losses overnight. He has changed his strategy and is unable to attack, so he has become a defense along the river."

Luo Yi was also stroking his beard and smiling. This son gave him too many surprises, and he surpassed his seniors and was more likely to shine in such troubled times.

Mai Mengcai clasped his fists and said, "Young marshal, my subordinates thought that Dou Jiande had built a defense line and intended to block us in the four border counties and could not go south. It would be better to prepare yesterday morning and take advantage of the defense line and kill directly to defeat Dou Jiande's Hebei army."

Xue Wanren stood up and said, "The last general is willing to play the striker and cross the river to attack the tough."

"I am willing to charge forward!" Lai Heng stood up.

Zhou Zhongyin, He Ruohuaikuo, Mai Zhongcai, Xue Wanshu and other young generals all stood up, fighting fiercely, and wanted to continue to make contributions.

Luo Zhaoyun smiled and shook his head and said, "I have no plans to go south for the time being. Generals, our four northern counties have just stabilized, and there are still many poor counties that have not solved the problem of food and clothing. Many refugees need to be resettled and cannot be conquered forever. In addition, even if Dou Jiande is defeated, then they may be dispatched to pacify other rebels, Li Mi, Xu Yuanlang, Du Fuwei, etc., travel a long distance and fight around. Finally, they will stay away from their hometowns and buried their bones in the other places. Is this what you are looking forward to?"

All the generals were stunned after hearing this, and their enthusiasm was destroyed a lot.

"Young Marshal, have we been defending here forever?"

Luo Zhaoyun explained: "For the time being, for at least one year, we must remain in control of our troops and strengthen ourselves, so that the people have food to maintain their own food, farming will be carried out smoothly, and there is no war. The army can further train, replace them with new equipment and elite weapons, wait and see the opportunity, find Dou Jiande's flaws, and then attack. We need to serve the country and help the people of the world, but we cannot be so stupid that we ignore ourselves and go everywhere to put out the fire, and finally exhaust ourselves."

Most of these generals no longer have awe and obedience to the court, and are completely obeying Luo Zhaoyun's dispatch. Many people even speculated in their hearts that the possibility of Luo family father and son becoming king in the future was one of the reasons why they followed their loyalty, and they felt that Luo Cheng might become one of the heroes in troubled times.

However, this kind of idea will not be expressed directly, just tacitly.

Luo Zhaoyun issued a military order to renovate the entire army to fill the lost forces, and then build defensive fortifications to continue confronting the Hebei army.

When the generals retreated, only Luo Yi and his son were left in the account.

"Zhaoyun, I'm afraid that the court will issue an order and force us to send troops to pacify Dou Jiande." Luo Yi was a little worried.

Luo Zhaoyun smiled and said, "The general is outside, and the king's orders are not accepted. We now govern the military and political power of the four counties. If we are the kings of the border, it will not be so easy to dispatch."

Luo Yi understood his son’s thoughts, nodded slightly, and agreed.

"Zhaoyun, do you think the Great Sui Dynasty will really perish?"

Luo Zhaoyun's face was deep and his tone was firm: "Well, it will inevitably be destroyed within two years. At present, Yang Guang has gone to Jiangdu, where there are Hailing Li Zitong, Liyang Du Fuwei, Danyang Fu Gongyou, Wujun Liu Yuanjin, Piling Shen Faxing, Yuzhang Lin Shihong, have already raised troops one after another and surrounded Jiangdu on all sides. Although Yang Guang has 100,000 Xiaoguo Guards and the three local prefectures, it is not easy to destroy those rebel forces."

"There are Wagang Limi in the north, Li Yuan in Jinyang, and Guo Zihe in Yulin. It is estimated that in the second half of the year, the Liang Shidu of Shuofang, Li Gui in Wuwei, and Xue Ju in Jincheng will separatist the northwest, and the descendants of Xiaoliang will also rise up one after another. At that time, the Great Sui Dynasty will only be broken. Who is willing to maintain the rule of Yang Sui? At that time, it will be time for the heroes to compete for hegemony and re-election of the new dynasty."

After hearing this, Luo Yi was stunned. The news he knew was probably one fifth less than Luo Zhaoyun. Many rebel forces had not yet reached Zhuojun, and they had not even grown stronger. He and the local generals did not know about it, but Luo Zhaoyun was as clear as he could and analyzed it thoroughly.

"How did you know this news?" Luo Yi felt incredible.

Luo Zhaoyun smiled and said, "Father, over the past ten years, I have been preparing for opening a lot of restaurants, wineries, and reserve funds. At first, I just wanted to protect myself. I thought that if the Yuwen Valve and Dugu Valve would not let our Luo family go, and if I resigned from office in the future, I would have some funds to avoid the decline of my family. I didn't expect that the world would change so quickly. In just ten years, the Sui Dynasty declined from prosperity. This chamber of commerce organization was able to inquire about information from various places, so that I could grasp the dynamics of the world's general trend one step ahead."

"So that's it!" Luo Yi felt more and more that he could not see through his son. He had prepared for so many years and he knew everything.

It’s like several baby boys died in his mansion, but he didn’t carefully analyze whether the Meng family might be assassinated.

In general, Luo Yi's personality is too tough and suitable for leading troops to fight, not suitable for power struggle, being careless, and unable to see through the darkness of human nature and the complexity of the situation.

"You don't know, you have the intention to dominate the world, right?" Luo Yi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Thinking of this possibility, even he was surprised. Does the Luo family have the opportunity to make a founding king and the Taizu of the new dynasty?
