Luo Zhaoyun only stayed in Guzang City for a few days, leaving behind 10,000 new troops to garrison, and arranged for the prefect, county magistrate, county magistrate, and county magistrate of each city to firmly control Wuwei County.

Wuwei County is an important part of the Hexi Corridor, connecting Zhangye, Jincheng County, and echoing the west-to-south balance north and south. This is an important way to the ancient Silk Road.

After Luo Zhaoyun has integrated these counties, he can re-embed Hexi and Longxi counties to integrate resources.

At present, the eight counties of Xihai, Zhangye, Wuwei, Jincheng, Xiping, Kuohan, Jiaohe and Heyuan are all in the hands of Luo Zhaoyun, and they have become the king of the Northwest.

Even though he was not independent, he had absolute voice in the northwest. Even these soldiers only recognized the young marshal and did not know the court.

Because they all knew in their hearts that whether it was the Dai King of Daxing City, the Yue King of Luoyang City, or Yang Guang of Jiangdu City, they were all besieged, and the Great Sui Dynasty was about to be destroyed and could not change their fate.

Luo Zhaoyun returned to Jincheng and was in charge here because his center of gravity gradually moved eastward, and his next goal was the counties in Longyou.

Longyou is currently Xue Ju's territory, with more than 200,000 troops, and the number of people is constantly expanding. There are also several rebels including Tang Bi, who are all separating their territory.

Luo Zhaoyun had thought that he would attack Daxing City one step earlier, but it was unrealistic, because he was not as fast as Li Yuan's route. He had to travel through the northwest several heroes, Li Gui, Xue Ju, Liang Shidu, Tang Bi, etc., would be in front of him. His troops were limited at the time. After fighting with these armies, his troops suffered heavy losses and he was no longer able to fight with Li Yuan.

Besides, even though he had entered the pass earlier, he did not have the support of several major clans, so he imitated Li Yuan and Cao Cao and used the emperor to command the princes. He did not have enough capital and prestige, so it was difficult for many old clans to stand up and support him.

So Luo Zhaoyun finally gave up his plan to seize Daxing City with Li Yuan. Because of the right time, place, people, etc., he could not compare with the Li family, so he could only take a different approach and find another way to seize power.

The most important thing is Luo Zhaoyun, the son-in-law, the Duke of Youguo, the Grand Marshal of the Army, etc., which gives the world the feeling that he is a young war god, loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and such an upright image, once he first enters Daxing City, it is difficult for him to do what Li Yuan and Wang Shichong in the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, support puppets, and then poison Yang Zhao's son. This method is suitable for Li Yuan and Wang Shichong, suitable for Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, but not for him Luo Zhaoyun.

After comprehensive consideration, Luo Zhaoyun planned to stabilize the northwest first, integrate the people's strength, material resources, financial resources, etc., continuously expand the army, recruit soldiers and appease the people, and open up the name of benevolence and righteousness in the northwest, so that the nobles in Guanlong, especially Longyou, and Hexi saw his talent in governing the country, and were in a fierce momentum, they all took sides.

There is an old saying that if the Hexi corridor is safe, the world will be safe. If the Hexi corridor is dangerous, the world will be dangerous.

Luo Zhaoyun occupied the northwest and formed a sturdy force against the Guanlong area. He pushed the eastward and flattened the river. The difficulty of attacking was much easier than that of the Central Plains soldiers entering Hangu.

When Du Ruhui saw the young marshal return, he personally led his people to wait outside the gate of the commander's mansion: "Welcome the young marshal, return triumphantly, pacify the eight northwest counties, and open the Hexi Corridor, just around the corner."

Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly and said, "Let's go in and have a chat."

There were many generals who returned with him, and there were only some civil servants left in Wuwei County, responsible for governing civil affairs. As long as people's livelihood was managed and no one rebelled, the region would be stable.

"General Hou Junji, I can also rush back tomorrow."

"Okay, it's already autumn. Our army should discuss how to gather troops and prepare for the next plan."

"The Young Marshal, there is another thing. Cao Yingqin, the head of the Cao family in Kuanghan County, came with two elders to ask for the Young Marshal to see him. He arrived yesterday and had been waiting in Jincheng for a day, waiting for the Young Marshal to receive him."

"Cao family?" Luo Zhaoyun smiled faintly. The Cao family should have known that Li Gui was taken into custody, so they rushed over. First, they had to take the initiative to rely on it. Because the backing was gone, the Cao family wanted to gain a foothold in the seven nobles in the northwest and continue to become a noble, so they needed the court's accuracy and support. Otherwise, the Cao family would be easily excluded. In addition, it was probably because they had pleaded for Cao Zhen and others.

Luo Zhaoyun said indifferently: "I just returned today, I am a little tired and no longer see the guests. I will summon you tomorrow."

Du Ruhui bowed and said, "If my subordinate understands it, he will tell him."

When he returned to the general's mansion, although he was a little tired, Luo Zhaoyun had profound martial arts and could bear the strength of his body. He immediately summoned some of his advisers to formulate new regulations for the eight counties.

Du Ruhui, Zhu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, Su Yu and others were all young people who were well-educated and knowledgeable. They gathered together and talked about civil affairs with the young marshal.

They were not good at leading troops in wars, but they quoted classics and read historical books, and had talents such as prime ministers, ministers and literary masters.

Luo Zhaoyun said: "Although there is the Kaihuang Law, the laws of the Great Sui Law are too complicated after all. The folk customs in the northwest are different from those in the Central Plains. It is difficult to implement here. The rich clans, local chieftains, Qiang people, Hu tribes, etc. have their own deviations when implemented. Therefore, our ruling plans to establish a temporary law to restrict the tribes of each county. Regardless of Han Qiang Tiel or Western Regions, as long as they are in the eight counties, the power of justice, finance, army and other powers must be controlled by the Young Marshal's Mansion!"

Everyone nodded, thinking that the young marshal was considerate and that the establishment of the new law was of great significance. It means that Luo Zhaoyun's power in the northwest has reached its peak. He can abandon the Kaihuang Law of the Great Sui Dynasty and not listen to the call. This belongs to the uncrowned king of the northwest.

Luo Zhaoyun talked freely: "The people in the northwest are fierce and violated the law more often. So when you re-criminal laws, we should re-organize them, control judicial power, resolve civil disputes and criminal cases, which are related to the justice and the vital interests of the people, and are not careless. As long as they are handled properly and allowed to be accepted by the local people, our Young Marshal's Mansion will be completely based on the situation. It is not a regime, but it is better than a new regime."

After hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but become active. They were all excited. They heard the young marshal's meaning. They did not value the king's reputation, but they truly held the power of the eight counties in the northwest and were unshakable. The court was beyond the reach and could not command. According to the changes in the world's situation, they could raise troops to do something major at any time.

"What the young marshal said is very important. We should study the people's conditions well and re-develop a new law suitable for the northwest counties and minority tribes." Du Ruhui was the first to agree.
