The purpose of the public opinion war was not to make people actually surrender, but to sow the seeds of suspicion among the Khitan generals who held heavy troops against the Han generals under their command.

Song Xiong said energetically: "I obey my orders!"

Luo Youdu looked around at his subordinates and civil servants and said, "Let's all go and rest! There will be a lot of tough battles to be fought next, so adjust your condition well."

Luo Youdu also caught up on his sleep and continued to check various official documents in the Youzhou government office.

But he was obviously a little distracted, looking outside the house from time to time, waiting for someone.

Half an hour later, Zhao Pu, who had woken up, appeared outside the house and slowly walked into the government office. Seeing Luo Youdu looking at him from above, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Luo Youdu put down the things in his hands, called Zhao Pu to him, and said: "The official family returned to Beijing this time. In addition to the fact that Mr. Wenbo died of illness and the capital needed to take charge of the overall situation, the bigger reason was that the official family needed to recuperate. Wenbo was encouraged by

The official's body is slightly unwell due to Mr.'s stimulation."

Zhao Pu had a look of surprise on his face. He was already wondering why he gave up on the Northern Expedition because of a trivial matter. Hearing that Guo Rong was ill, he suddenly understood in his heart and thought to himself: It's not necessarily a minor discomfort.

Luo Youdu said: "This is the first time for me to lead an army outside in my country. The tree is big and attracts the wind, and I am worried that some unfavorable words will be spread. Moreover, there are some changes in the capital. I am beyond my reach in Youzhou. I need someone to take charge of some things.

So as not to be taken advantage of by Xiaoxiao."

Zhao Pu was so alert. He reacted instantly and said: "I am just about to ask my husband to resign. Jiaci is old and unexpectedly fell ill. I sincerely ask my husband for permission to take leave and return to Beijing to serve Jiaci."

Luo Youdu said: "This disease cannot come out of nowhere, nor can it come on the spur of the moment. It must not be spread by anyone."

Zhao Pu bowed and said, "My subordinates understand, so we will make arrangements. After everything is settled, I will come back and ask for my resignation."
