    Luo Jiuhe looked up at the gloomy sky and cursed.  "You have to hurry up. If you're late, you'll have to get wet in the rain to see Lord Ye." He said to the people on his left and right.  The people around him responded, and the horses stepped up a little more.  All the fine Dawan horses galloped together. Although there were only about thirty people, they still had the momentum of thousands of people.  The most popular goods of Anxi Chamber of Commerce are those Dawan horses.  Even in the land of Liaodong, tribes close to the Khitan, Xi and other tribes that are rich in war horses also like to use Dawan horses.  A good Dawan horse is only worth a few dozen to a hundred guan in Anxi, but here it can be worth 500 to a thousand guan. That kind of bloody horse is worth tens of thousands of guan, but it is still valuable and has no market.  It was the 27th day of the seventh lunar month in the 14th year of Tianbao's reign in the Tang Dynasty. Luo Jiuhe, who was originally in Ancheng Prefecture, was ordered to go to Jian'an City to meet Ye Chang.  Unlike Ye Ting, who was also summoned, Luo Jiuhe always remembered that he was a surrendered general, so he was the most cautious and prudent one under the Liaodong system. He did not seek great achievements, but sought no small faults.  This relatively conservative temperament is also reflected in his achievements over the years.  Whether it was dealing with the Khitan and Xi people, or the harassment of the Bohai and Anlushan armies, he was extremely cautious.  This kind of caution is actually not in line with what he thinks in his heart.  Luo Jiuhe saw a cloud of smoke billowing up five miles away from Jian'an City.  There seemed to be a pungent smell in the air, but Luo Jiuhe was not disgusted by this smell. It was the smell of steel and fire, which always reminded him of the battlefield.  "Who is it?" shouts came from the guard post on the roadside, and horses were crossing the road, forcing Luo Jiuhe and others to slow down.  This barracks is newly built. Although there have been sentries for a long time, it is not searched so closely.  "It turns out to be General Luo." After recognizing Luo Jiuhe, the guard at the sentry did not immediately let him go: "General, please show me your token." Luo Jiuhe showed the guard the token he had transferred back, and then asked  He said: "Why is it like this here?" "The Duke's order, and there are rumors in the south that when the Duke arrived in Lushun, there were changes in those details." The guard did not hide what he knew, and what he knew was not a secret.  "The unusual movement is really audacious." Luo Jiuhe felt slightly angry in his heart.  Although he is cautious under Ye Chang, it does not mean that he has no respect for Ye Chang. On the contrary, it is precisely because of his respect for Ye Chang that he is so careful to maintain the friendship between his boss and his subordinates.  "That's not true If you don't seek death, you won't die." The guard said a catchphrase that has become popular in Lushun recently, and then laughed.  Luo Jiuhe left this sentry post and continued to move forward. There was a sentry post every few miles. When he arrived at Jian'an City, it had already started to rain.  Fortunately, someone greeted them in front of the city gate and prepared raincoats for them. Someone also asked them if they wanted to take shelter at the city gate first.  Luo Jiuhe was so anxious that he dared to wait outside for the rain to stop, so he braved the rain and headed towards Ye Chang's base camp.  Although the air in Jian'an City is not very good, the streets are still very clean. They are smooth and clean, not inferior to Lushun.  Because the old city was abandoned to build a new one, the city's sewerage system was excellent. Even during such a heavy rain, there was no water on the streets.  The hardened road will not let them get stuck in the mud and cannot extricate themselves.  But the rain was still too heavy. The heavy rain in July came very fast. Even if they had raincoats, they couldn't help them much.  When they arrived at the camp on the northwest side of the city, they were already soaked to the skin.  "Luo Jiuhe wants to see Mr. Ye, please tell me." Luo Jiuhe led his horse to the door and said to the guard standing under the eaves.  "General Luo, just go in. The Duke has said that there is no need to report General Luo as long as he comes." The guard opened the door: "There is hot water inside, and Yu's clothes are also prepared. General Luo, can you change your clothes first?" "You  After settling my entourage, I'll see the Duke first," Luo Jiuhe said.  He was still a little uncomfortable with calling Ye Chang "the Duke". The founding Duke was only thirty years old, and he earned it entirely with his own hands - Ye Chang's achievements really made him envious.  However, he knew that he was incomparable. When it came to courage and courage, he could not match him in any way, let alone his political wisdom.  I just hope that I can follow Ye Chang. As Ye Chang's contribution becomes greater and greater, I will also receive more and more credit.  The only regret is that Ye Chang has no heirs yet.  "Jiuhe is here, why are you all wetwash with hot water first, change into clothes and then come see me." Ye Chang saw Luo Jiuhe who was dripping wet, and frowned slightly: "That's right.  When your strength is needed, be sure not to get sick." "Yes." Luo Jiuhe didn't say a word and followed a guard down.  The hot water was ready, and Yu Jing's towels and military uniforms were also ready. Luo Jiuhe moved very quickly, just turning around and tidied himself up.    When putting on his clothes, he looked at himself in the glass mirror and felt very satisfied.  Although he is over forty years old, he is still strong and looks no different from a man in his thirties.  Moreover, he has more energy than physical strength, and has read many books over the years, from ancient military books to some books called "practical learning" written by Ye Chang himself.  After reading too many books, a person's temperament will naturally change. For example, his calmness and calmness are both due to his personality and the effect of books.  "Xiangping guarding envoy Luo Jiuhe reported to Ye Gong." When I saw Ye Chang again, he straightened his body, stood upright, and performed a new military salute for Liaodong regiment training.  Regiment training is not considered a regular army, so some military etiquette and military regulations can be adjusted according to the preference of the chief officer.  Luo Jiuhe did not meet Luo Jiuhe with official courtesy, but gave a military salute. Ye Chang was very satisfied with his recognition of his identity.  This kind of caution alone is enough for Luo Jiuhe to remain invincible.  "Jiuhe, a year and a half ago, you once drafted an Anton battle plan for me. You said in it that sooner or later there will be a decisive battle in Anton. The scale and scope of this decisive battle will be determined by the strength of our Liaodong. If  Our army is strong, so it's a big battle. An Lushan, Bohai State, and Silla Congress are attacking us together. Now, do you think a decisive battle is coming? " Ye Chang asked the subject directly, which made Luo Jiuhe worried.  Tensing up again, he recalled his original plan. After handing in the plan, Ye Chang just replied "I understand." He originally thought that he would not be taken seriously, but he never thought that Ye Chang would be waiting here.  Hold him.  "Our forces are still insufficient now, so it is not yet a decisive battle." Luo Jiuhe pondered for a while: "An Lushan will never act rashly. He may even use the name of joining forces with our army to do anything that is not conducive to the war.  When our army arrived, we took the opportunity to seize Jian'an City." Ye Chang waited and motioned for him to continue.  "The Bohae Kingdom has become increasingly hostile to me because of the incident in Shenxi in the past two years, and the Khitans are driven by them. Silla is cunning and cunning, and is used to fishing in troubled waters. Therefore, in this conflict, the Bohae Kingdom will take the lead, with the Khitans as the vanguard.  The people of Silla waited and watched, while An Lushan took advantage of the fire to plunder. "Neither of them bothered to argue. They were both Tang soldiers. How could An Lushan dare to attack Liaodong?  Given An Lushan's greed for friendly forces, he would always come up with excuses.  "If this is the case, how should you respond?" "Take the initiative to attack and defeat the Khitan tribe in one fell swoop. The Khitan people are afraid of power and strength. If they destroy it first and then appease it, then their tribe will be used by me and they can fight back against the Bohai people. Increase the pressure on them.  Shenxi supported it and ordered the northern expedition to divert the Bohai people's attention. Then they used elites to attack Bohai Zhongjing, destroy their ancestral temples, seize their population, and return to Liaodong." "Then An Lushan and Xinluo will be ignored?" "Each of them will be ignored?  Just support the partial divisions to monitor them. If the two of them don't see the success or failure of the Bohai Kingdom, they will not dare to act rashly. At the same time, the regiments in the territory will train and mobilize. If there is any abnormal movement between the two, the regiments will train to contain them first, and then attack when the main force returns after the victory.  "Luo Jiuhe's countermeasures are completely different from his usual cautious character. It can be said that he is bold and adventurous, and even made a plan to attack Longquan Mansion in Shangjing, the capital of the Bohai King.  Not long after the founding of the Bohai Kingdom, if the royal capital was really attacked, the shock would be so great that the tribes that depended on it would rebel. The Blackwater tribes in the north would also take the opportunity to start an uprising. In addition, Chenxi's  With the separatist regime, the entire Bohai Sea will become a mess, and there will be no threat to Liaodong for at least ten years.  And the purpose of this war is to punish and plunder the population, and does not need to control the Bohai border. Therefore, all investments are one-time, and there is no need to worry about falling into a protracted war.  "If we act according to your plan now, when do you think we will launch an attack on Longquan Mansion?" Luo Jiuhe's heart skipped a beat. He thought about it for a while, and then said: "It's impossible this year, but it can be done this year.  Defeat the Khitan first. The material preparations at the border have been prepared for a long time. It only requires manpower within two to three months. If the Khitan cannot be defeated, the troops will have to retreat to avoid the cold winter. If they want to attack Longquan, they must obtain it.  After April next year, we will take advantage of the weather to get warmer and attack with a bang. No matter whether it is successful or not, we will return to the division in September." The biggest problem is still the cold climate. Although Luo Jiuhe has arranged a bold tactic, it will not be possible to execute it.  At the time, he was still cautious.  Ye Chang felt happy after hearing this, and immediately said: "Okay, Jiuhe, this is why I have called you here." Although he had some guesses, Luo Jiuhe still became excited: "But is there going to be a fight?" "Well,  There may be some changes in the court" Ye Chang pondered for a while, and then looked at Luo Jiuhe: "Jiuhe, I won't hide it from you, the changes in the court may be extremely beneficial to me, or extremely detrimental to me.  Regardless of the pros and cons, I need Liaodong to be stable. This is the foundation for my life. " Ye Chang rarely spoke to Luo Jiuhe in this tone. Luo Jiuhe's heart suddenly shivered, and then he stood up again:  "Just don't worry, Duke. I am loyal to you. I will fight wherever your Duke points your finger." This means I am loyal to Ye Chang, not to the Tang Dynasty.??, the mystery in these words is understood by those Luo Jiuhe said, and also understood by those Ye Chang listened.  "I am also loyal to China." Ye Chang gently stroked his chest with his hand, and his voice was slightly low: "This is what I have done in these years of fighting in the south and the north. It's just that some people are too selfish, but  I cannot be allowed to continue to make contributions to the country, and wealth and honor are just floating clouds. I can lead my men to the sea and carve out a world. Even if I become a king and stand on my own feet, it is just a matter of a few clicks. " Ye Chang said this with a bit of resentment.  Luo Jiuhe felt excited after hearing this. He realized that the changes in the court that Ye Chang mentioned might be very big.  "You know this, just be prepared in your mind." Ye Chang did not elaborate further. After a pause, Ye Chang said loudly: "Luo Jiuhe" "Here" "I will take you as a test for the Liaodong March General Manager's Mansion."  The deputy general manager will command the armies and regiments in Liaodong and be given full authority to take charge of the war in Liaodong for one year and three months. The war in Liaodong must be ended before October next year." When Ye Chang said this, his voice slowed down slightly:  "Maybe you agree?" Luo Jiuhe's heart almost jumped out of his chest.  This is the meaning of entrusting the foundation of Liaodong to his hands, and the importance and trust in it can hardly be expressed in words.  Previously, Luo Jiuhe thought that Ye Chang would sit in Jian'an Prefecture and let him be the vanguard to deal with Bohai State, but he never thought that Ye Chang would easily hand over all the command to him.  "I will definitely live up to the trust of the county magistrate, and I will definitely win a complete victory." Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Luo Jiuhe responded loudly.  "Okay, as soon as we get the supplies, Guild Cen will be your backing, and Ye Ying and Ye Ting will be helping you. If they disobey military orders in any way, you can handle it directly without reporting it to me." "Yes" Luo Jiuhe responded first  He made a sound, and then said with a smile: "My subordinates have always cooperated happily with the two Ye brothers. They both know the general situation and will not let down the prince." Ye Ying Ye Ting is both a member of the Ye Chang clan and a personal guard. They  If the two of them rely on this arrogance, it will be difficult for Luo Jiuhe to control the situation in Liaodong.  Ye Chang was not worried that Luo Jiuhe would take this opportunity to stand on his own. In fact, according to Liaodong's system of balancing military and political affairs, even if Luo Jiuhe obtained the command of the army, he would not be able to completely control the regiment training equivalent to the reserve force.  There is no way to control the semi-military workers in the factories and workshops.  However, after Luo Jiuhe's excitement subsided, he immediately thought of the problem: "Why did the Duke entrust me with this important task? Wouldn't it be safer if the Duke personally took charge?" "Firstly, you have this ability, and secondly,  I can't live in Liaodong for a long time." Ye Chang sighed: "There is something wrong in the Central Plains" How could Ye Chang not know the private actions of all the forces in the Central Plains? It was just that Tianbao had an affair with Li Longji in the eleventh year.  After a conflict, Ye Chang was completely disappointed with the Li Tang royal family, and seeing Li Longji becoming more and more confused and Li Heng being so hostile to him, how could he be willing to devote himself wholeheartedly to the Li Tang royal family?  ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Shou¡¯an¡¯s sake¡­ Ye Chang would have taken revenge himself.  But even if it was to give Shouan face, the Li Tang clan wanted to commit suicide, but Ye Chang had no obligation to stop it.  At this moment, he followed Li Tengkong to Liaodong, and now he is making a gesture of starting a war in Liaodong. What is the purpose? Isn't it just to make those idiots feel free to make trouble?
