Chapter six hundred and twentieth seventh, the South Army(1/2)
The next day, Luo Ji overslept without any surprise.
I got up about two hours later than usual.
After the harvest day, Mirror City was completely immersed in a sad atmosphere.
Because another life-threatening tragedy was staged in the Grand Opera House.
While causing outrage and resentment, the venue was also packed to the rafters.
Let the sad atmosphere suddenly become infinite.
Two more days passed after that.
After the payday performance is completely over.
Luo Ji called over the opera troupe leader who was still in a state of excitement.
Start asking them to try to write their own scripts.
There is no way that he, who is the emperor, can always be the scriptwriter of an opera company, right?
How can he have so much free time?
The tour of "Romeo and Juliet" has to go to every city, and it has to last for half a year.
In other words, they have enough time to create independently.
At the same time, Luo Ji also allowed the opera troupe to post notices recruiting creative writers to write scripts.
As for the task of reviewing the script, that is of course the responsibility of the team leader.
As for the opera troupe's affairs, Luo Ji basically let it go.
Then I started to think seriously about the expeditionary force.
Since an expeditionary force is to be sent to collect the barbarian natives.
Then, a general with sufficient ability is definitely needed.
The generals guarding the city on all sides of the border obviously cannot move.
And over there on the grassland.
That guy Bai Ze is still busy on his honeymoon.
Li Min was still young, so he clearly lacked too much experience to lead an expedition alone and could easily get into trouble.
There is no problem with Burigude's experience and strength.
But the key point is that there must be a reliable town on the grassland!
Li Ke is the leader of the werewolf tribe. This expedition will take at least a year and a half, and it is impossible for him to leave Wolf Fang City for that long. Otherwise, who will take care of the werewolf tribe?
As for Luo Yong...
He is Luo Ji's number one warrior and his absolutely trusted confidant.
And the Xuanjia Army led by Luo Yong is his strongest trump card!
A trump card like this was kept in his hand to save his life. Luo Ji could not send the Xuanjia army on an expedition unless it was absolutely necessary.
After such a period of screening, the only suitable candidate left was Baiqi Commander Luo Cheng, who was also stationed in Mirror City.
Strength, experience, loyalty.
If it were Luo Cheng, all three of these items would undoubtedly be in line.
But he is a cavalryman. To capture cities and territories, the most important thing is the infantry.
As soon as he thought about this, Luo Ji thought for a while, and then he thought of Zhou Xian, who had surrendered to him last year.
Zhou Xian was seriously injured at that time, so Luo Ji took him directly back to Mirror City to recuperate.
After that, all kinds of troubles continued, and he left people there without taking care of them.
Now that winter has passed, Zhou Xian's injuries have obviously healed.
There is no doubt that he is also a fierce general.
The only problem should be loyalty to him.
"Tell Luo Cheng and Zhou Xian to form an expeditionary force. In this way, Luo Cheng can keep an eye on Zhou Xian on my behalf, and loyalty will not be a problem."
As his thoughts whirled, Luo Ji suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Directly order people to summon Luo Cheng and Zhou Xian.
This winter has passed, and Zhou Xian, who is only twenty-four years old, is undoubtedly young and vigorous.
I have been idle until now, and if I say I am not anxious at all, that would definitely be a lie.
During this period, he even wrote several letters to Du Yuanzhi, asking him to help him find some opportunities to get ahead.
However, Du Yuanzhi's reply to him was only one word every time.
"wait."
Now he finally has to wait.
Once Luo Ji summoned him, how could Zhou Xian still hesitate?
He rushed to the audience hall almost immediately.
After waiting for the two of them to arrive.
Luo Ji first confirmed Zhou Xian's loyalty.
After all, the other party has stayed in Mirror City for a long time.
As time goes by, loyalty also increases several points.
It's currently at seventy-eight points, which is pretty good.
Luo Ji, who had been mentally prepared for this, did not find it strange at all.
He briefly told the two of them about the expedition.
Then Feng Luo became the chief general and Zhou Xian became the deputy general.
Five hundred cavalry and one thousand infantry were used to form the Southern Expedition Army for the southern expedition.
Ask them to incorporate all the barbarian indigenous tribes found along the way.
Zhou Xian looked excited when he heard this.
Lieutenant general, let him be lieutenant general.
As long as you give him a chance and rely on his strength, he will surely succeed!
Zhou Xian, who had been waiting for this day for too long, patted his chest and promised.
After a week of preparations, the Southern Expedition Army officially set off.
Then half a month passed.
All civilizations seem to have entered the rainy season.
The light rain kept falling, making the whole world become damp.
Although during the drought last year, he wished it would rain every day.
But when it comes to this moment, it doesn't feel good at all.
It was very uncomfortable to feel that the quilt covering me and the clothes I was wearing were a little damp.
At the same time, the projects in the mountains and forests of the North were also affected by the weather.
Days of light rain have made the mountains slippery. A week ago, many workers were injured while working.
One worker even lost his footing and fell down the mountain. His life or death is now uncertain.
The garrison of Baihe City has sent out manpower to conduct a search.
This incident has made the construction team panic and their work efficiency has dropped significantly.
The report now before Luo Ji's eyes was a request to temporarily stop the project and appease people's hearts.
What else could Luo Ji do about this?
The weather can be against him, but what can he do about the weather?
Anyway, there isn’t much work efficiency left, so just click stop.
Wait until the weather clears up before starting work again.
As for those injured workers, they will naturally receive work-related injury subsidies from relevant departments.
As for the worker whose life or death is now uncertain, he has to wait until the search results are available before corresponding processing can be carried out.
It’s very disturbing when I think about it.
In the next few days, I don’t know if it was true to the old saying that ‘no blessings come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone’.
On the other side of the grassland, among the group of grassland people who were recruited by them before.
