Chapter five hundred and sixty-six father and son map the world
When Luo Zhaoyun heard this, he stared at Luo Yi's expression and did not answer directly. Instead, he said with a half-smile: "Do work all day long and keep pace with the times. Time and things often depend on opportunities. If the situation and time are ripe, it may not be impossible to fight."
Luo Yi's heart was trembling. Although he was unruly and stubborn, he sometimes thought that even if he was born in a chaotic world, he could become a hero and a vassal king, but Luo Yi never thought of fighting for imperial power.
If one side is divided, it is only a few counties. After all, there are certain limitations in the people, military pay, people, civil affairs, etc. As long as he copys some systems and manages the local area, he will still be competent.
But if you want to seize the world, there will be more than 200 counties, including north, west and south, all spheres of influence, aristocratic families, and local heroes. They must defeat, gather, control, civil and military officials, intrigue, court affairs, have a view of the overall situation, have a good understanding of the officialdom, have the power of the emperor, etc. This is not something that a martial artist can do.
In addition to being able to win the world with a horse, any founding king can also intimidate civil and military officials, be treacherous in their hearts, be decisive in killing, destroy bridges across rivers, be profit first, and be ruthless, and be cruel to cook.
Luo Yi felt that he was definitely not suitable to be an emperor, and first of all, he was not as good as psychological and strategic aspects.
"Zhaoyun, you also know that although my father can lead the army to fight and govern one party, he can be the king at most and govern several counties with the greatest talent. He cannot do it to conquer the world, govern the country, and control the court. Do you think you can do it?"
Luo Zhaoyun pondered for a moment and said, "I think I can give it a try!"
Luo Yi nodded and said, "Then you have to think about it. Once you embark on this path, you will fill it with millions of people, full of blood and bones. Moreover, after you fight to dominate the world, you will have to rely on others and join others, but you will not have a good end."
Throughout history, no hero who participates in the battle for hegemony will end up with the exception of one winner.
Because you have the ambition, prestige, and dominance. As long as you live, even if you surrender, it will always be a hidden danger. The winner must always be wary of your rebellion, make a comeback, or stir up the storm in the court. This is unbearable. Even if you surrender, you will settle the accounts after the fall.
Luo Zhaoyun said firmly: "I know this is a road of no return, but I will not regret it or be afraid. At worst, I will be defeated and killed, but at least I will live vigorously and do not want to compromise. Besides, with my fame and ability to command troops, even if I help a king conquer the world, I will be suspicious in the future and end up like Han Xin. It is better to grasp my own destiny."
Luo Yi also fell silent. He understood this truth. Luo Zhaoyun was not like him, Luo Yi, Xue Shixiong, Mai Tiezhang and others. He could be regarded as a sharp sword. However, Luo Zhaoyun was versatile in civil and military affairs, with high reputation and prestige, and could easily outweigh the master's achievements, which made the monarch feel uneasy and eliminated.
"Since that's the case, my Luo family has bets all, and bet you can win in the end and make the Luo family a royal family." Luo Yi smiled happily, and there was no other way out, and he was definitely not a person who was afraid of trouble.
Luo Zhaoyun said: "Next, we will gather troops in the area of Zhuojun to cultivate elite troops and plan for the future world."
Luo Yi shook his head, not optimistic about the geographical situation of Zhuo County, which was too remote, and said, "But there are only these four counties in the north. Now, Dou Jiande's army has built a defense line on the southern bank of the Qing Dynasty, blocking us from going south, making it impossible for refugees in Hebei to move north on a large scale. This will hinder our development. All parts of the Central Plains have a large population, and our troops, population, materials, etc. are only enough to dominate the border and it is difficult to compete with the Central Plains forces. This is also the reason why the seven heroes of Yan State is the weakest."
Luo Zhaoyun said: "As the saying goes, knowing the shortcomings, you can react by yourself; knowing the difficulties, you can become stronger by yourself. The border of Zhuo County is far away from the Central Plains. Its location is indeed not superior, and it is easy to be ignored. The scholars and officials of the Central Plains and the nobles of the Central Plains are even more unwilling to come and submit. The culture and education here are insufficient, the foundation is insufficient, and the population is sparse."
"But it also has advantages. Yanshan, Little Xing'anling and Changbai Mountain are all rich resources, including hunting, herbs and ore. If you can set up markets with ethnic minorities, you can exchange them for a large number of strategic materials, such as cattle, sheep, war horses, etc.."
"In addition, although the Daqing River was occupied by the Hebei army, the defense line was too long, so we could continue to send elite troops to attack both ends and open some gaps, and still be able to extradite the people. The scholars went north and headed west to Yanmen County, which was also a way to advance west and would not be completely blocked."
"If you realize this problem, just take precautions." Luo Yi continued to give a reminder after hearing this.
Luo Zhaoyun smiled calmly and said, "Father, please rest assured that Zhuo County is not a real place for children to send troops, but is just a base camp that has accumulated. It has been stable and not ostentatious. It is blocked by Dou Jiande, making it difficult for the court to dispatch it. All rebels will relax their hostility to the Luo family army. Only then can we develop with peace of mind, so that Mu Xiu is destroyed by the wind. When something happens to Yang Guang, I will personally rush to Xihai County, where my backup will be there. Li Jing, Hou Junji, Guo Xiaoke and other 100,000 northwest elite soldiers are my trump card for entering the Central Plains."
Luo Yi said with some concern: "Oh, you have been away for so long, and it's another chaotic era. Will Li Jing and others still obey you?"
Luo Zhaoyun replied: "Li Jing has no intention of becoming a king, and is suitable for assisting the wise ruler. I have a deep relationship with him, and I have made a private agreement that Guo Xiaoke is also my life and death brother, and there are some old generals. As long as they appear at critical moments, they will still be dispatched by me. Moreover, half of their current military expenditure is supported by my chamber of commerce and can still be controlled."
"Things in the world are unpredictable, but people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, so it's better to be careful!" Luo Yi felt that no general did not want to be king in troubled times. Can he, Li Jing, really abide by the agreement and not be king in the northwest?
