The night banquet was held as scheduled, and important military officials in the northwest gathered here, many of whom were from the children of great families such as Guanlong, Shandong, Hebei, and Bohai.

After local training, many newcomers are no longer the frivolous state of talking about war on paper and having higher ambitions than the sky, and have become much more restrained.

Zhou Zhongyin, Su Jun, Su Yu, Changsun Anshi, Yu Renxiao, Yu Chengdao, Wei Yijie and others have all returned and briefly reported their work situation and gains. The specific contents have been written into memorials and have been submitted. It needs to be reviewed by the Young Marshal and the Think Tank.

Liang Yuanli, Cui Shi, Zhang Jun and other old officials from the northwest also returned to visit the Young Marshal.

They were all filled with emotion. Luo Cheng was still a young general and wanted to lead his troops to attack Tuyuhun. Eight years have passed, and Luo Cheng has become the uncrowned king of the eleven counties in the northwest.

Over the years, they have deeply experienced the rise of a young hero, and are all excited. If they can raise up with such people and join the core team early, they will be valued and achieve greater achievements in the future.

In fact, Li Jing, Hou Junji, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and others all regarded Luo Cheng as the hero who would compete for the world in the future, and did their best. Even if Luo Cheng did not want to be emperor in the future, these subordinates would not give up and would definitely continue to advise.

Throughout history, many heroes have not wanted to become kings and dominate themselves, but the times have been brewing, pushing these heroes to a prominent position, and his power cannot be controlled.

At the middle of the banquet, Luo Zhaoyun started to talk and said, "You are stationed in various places to quell the rebellion and manage people's livelihood. From Guanlong and the Central Plains to the cold northwest, it is extremely difficult. In the past six months, you have worked hard. The ancient saying goes, without a single step, you can't get a thousand miles. Without these hardships, I believe that many people's progress will definitely not be so great."

When everyone heard this, they nodded. Many scholars were idle in the capital before and had never been a powerful official. Although they were sent to the local government to be county magistrates, they seemed to be small, but they were the top leaders of the local government. They could see the big ones from the small and see the leopards through the secrets, and could hone a lot of talents.

Luo Zhaoyun said again: "If heroes arose all over the world today, establishing a country and becoming emperor is like a child's play, and the rebels of all branches are like crucians crossing the river. Our strength cannot be eliminated one by one. The general is often thinking about why prosperous times have suddenly become so riddled with holes, how can we eliminate the chaotic troops and give the people a peaceful and prosperous era? That is, to innovate and let the people re-recognize a system, just like in the northwest, the government orders are adapted to local conditions and formulated by themselves, so that they can be re-adhesive."

"Young Marshal, we have introduced a new policy. Without the permission of the court, we are afraid that the ministers and Your Majesty in the court will suspect the young marshal when they know it." Changsun Wuji and even the royal monarch's suspicion, Luo Cheng's actions have actually violated the bottom line of the court. If it weren't for the troubled times, Yang Guang would have been beheaded by the court.

Luo Zhaoyun took out a memorial and threw it on the table and said, "Li Yuan is currently in power, and supports Yang You as the new emperor. He issued an edict to summon me back to Beijing. Of course, this commander refused. Now Li Yuan issued another edict to abolish the position of commander of the Northwest and to list my Northwest Army as one of the largest anti-kings. Haha, it's ridiculous!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but they calmed down and disagreed. It would be better to tear each other apart like this, so they could support the young marshal and become king.

Hou Junjixian said generously: "My subordinates thought that the young marshal should have rebelled against the court. Now the young marshal is the supreme commander of the northwest and integrates the eleven counties. This is not given by the court, but we conquered ourselves. The people's livelihood is governed by the young marshal's office. The troops were formed by us and have nothing to do with the court. Li Yuan's ambitions were imitated by Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, and used the emperor to command the princes. Everyone in the world knew that, so we did not need to obey the orders of the Western Capital, directly be king, and send troops to conquer Daxing City.

Many young people were moved by Hou Junji's words. Once Luo Cheng became king and emperor, their identity and status would rise and become founding heroes, and they could protect future generations of descendants.

Du Ruhui said: "The times create heroes. The times are nothing more than the times, the places, and the people are harmonious. Now the young marshal has occupied these three things in the northwest. Why worry about not being able to do a big career!"

After hearing this, Yao Silian, Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda and others at the banquet were shocked and found that the northwest was probably the largest vassal force.

When Qu Tutong heard this, his face was not very good-looking. He was a loyal person to the court. Although the court was beyond help, his integrity was still there, so he did not surrender to Li Tang, but instead defected to the place, just to show the people of the world. Qu Tutong was an open and loyal minister.

If the Northwest also rebelled and he participated in it, wouldn’t the accumulated reputation of loyalty to the emperor be affected? What’s the difference between surrendering to Li Yuan? Therefore, there was some grudge in his heart.

After observing the expressions of everyone, Luo Zhaoyun slowly said, "I can understand your feelings, but I am valued by Your Majesty and entrusted with important tasks. At the moment when the country is about to collapse, I should stand in the last post. As long as Your Majesty is in Jiangdu for one day, I will be the commander of the northwest one day, obey the Sui title, and will never betray it."

The military officials present were all stunned. Unexpectedly, Luo Zhaoyun said so resolutely and refused to rebel against Sui. He was a little anxious and disappointed in his eyes.

After hearing this, Qu Tutong suddenly became a little excited. He did not read the wrong person, nor did His Majesty see the wrong person. If Luo Cheng could say this and insist on doing it, he would be very loyal to his duties.

However, some careful people also heard the unusual smell.

Changsun Wuji asked, "Young Marshal, if Jiangdu is captured by the rebels and His Majesty is killed in Jiangdu, what will you do?"

Luo Zhaoyun hesitated and said, "At that time, I returned the kindness of His Majesty, and naturally I will not be restricted by those puppet emperors. Whether it is Yang You, Xijing or Yang Tong, the Dongdu, they are young. As the saying goes, the kingdom is suspicious, and they have been undermined by Li Yuan, Wang Shichong and others. Although we are loyal and brave, we will not be stupid enough to be slaughtered by others. At that time, we could only establish our own business."

When the military officials heard him say this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as Yang Guang died in Jiangdu, there would still be a chance to become king in the northwest.

At this time, many people present were hoping that Yang Guang would die soon, and it would be best if he could not pass the New Year's Eve and he would die on New Year's Eve.

Guo Xiaoke suggested: "Then we will fight against Li Yuan's pseudo-icien decree, no matter what his will."

"Li Yuan wanted to usurp the throne, but his intention was to be punished. He was ruthless. From tomorrow, he immediately issued an edict to announce the eleven counties under his jurisdiction to display Li Yuan's crimes, rebel from the court, hold the Dai King hostage, have the power to the court, and have a misfortune in the harem. It is actually the second Dong Zhuo."

Luo Zhaoyun made a generous speech and wanted to launch propaganda methods, fight public opinion wars, and smear Li Tang's name.
