Chapter 312 Opportunity

"good!"

Zhu Lingshi was roped in, and the next step was to start a united front and fire the first shot.

This first shot was not about the feudal king, but about the academy.

"Now, various aristocratic families have sent people to leave one after another..."

Liu Yizhen's extremely abrupt change of words left several people confused.

"When they leave, they will also take away a large amount of resources in Jiankang."

With this explanation, everyone will understand.

The emperor was already gradually diluting Jiankang's power.

Building academies in various places is currently the top priority for almost all major aristocratic families. In order to be the first to seize the opportunity, they will inevitably spend a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

This not only gives the family time to "escape", but also reduces the pressure that the future emperor will face.

In addition, the emperor also gave up the most important position of Yangzhou Academy to the Langya Wang family. Because the Langya Wang family now still has the status of a foreign relative, leaving the Langya Wang family's power in Jiankang is also a way to reduce pressure in the future.

means.

"In the next period of time, I will put pressure on the family and force them to put more energy outside."

Until a limit.

When that family is no longer willing to send forces outside, that's when Liu Yizhen really wants to take action.

"In addition to Jiankang, we also need an opportunity."

Liu Yizhen turned his gaze to Wang Xiu, and Wang Xiu's heart skipped a beat...

North of Guanzhong.

Gyeongju.

This newly recovered homeland is extremely lively.

The land of Gyeongju is irrigated by two rivers, the Malian River and the Jinghe River. It is actually quite fertile, but it has been devastated by wars since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and has declined.

Now the Changning Prefecture Army led by Fu Hongzhi has moved from Guanzhong to Qingzhou. The strong military power has given the people here a sufficient sense of security. After a year of hard work, they are somewhat like the prosperity of the "Dream Back to the Western Han Dynasty".

On this day, Fu Hongzhi led some cavalrymen to ride on the border with Hu Xia early in the morning, jumping back and forth in an extremely provocative manner.

With the land and the horses captured in the last war, the Changning Prefecture army has expanded to 7,000 people and is about to cross the 10,000 mark.

Moreover, Liu Song's cavalry was different from Hu Xia's. They had the support of Guanzhong and even the entire country, and their equipment was a level higher than Hu Xia's.

With this kind of strong power, Fu Hongzhi would certainly not stay in the pass as before. Instead, he would wander around the border to provoke the Huns' nerves.

If he encountered a Hu Xia scout who was alone, Fu Hongzhi would even send his cavalry to pursue the enemy, which he called "training soldiers."

"General! General!"

Far away.

A scout came towards Fu Hongzhi from the direction of Qingzhou: "There is a letter from you."

Letter from home?

Fu Hongzhi was a little confused. Didn't he just come here to write home not long ago? Why did he come here again?

Fu Hongzhi's soldiers nearby laughed and said: "I don't think the general's wife misses the general so much, but I don't know what kind of disgusting love words are there?"

"Get lost! We are an old married couple, what can we do!"

Having said that, Fu Hongzhi still smiled and hid aside, secretly hiding the letter in his arms and reading it.

As soon as he opened the letter, Fu Hongzhi's expression darkened.

After reading it, Fu Hongzhi immediately carefully hid the letter in his lapel.

He stepped forward and asked the scout who sent him the letter: "Has anyone opened this letter?"

Seeing that Fu Hongzhi's expression was wrong, the scout quickly waved his hand: "How dare I wait! This is the general's family letter, and even those who are too brave would not dare to open it privately."

Fu Hongzhi's expression softened a bit now.

Pulling the reins: "Let's go back."

"General, no more fishing today?"

Fishing means looking for opportunities to chase the Huns scouts.

"No fight."

Fu Hongzhi was worried on the road, and the surrounding soldiers did not dare to ask any more questions, but followed Fu Hongzhi back to the military camp in disappointment.

When he returned to the military camp, Fu Hongzhi drove everyone out of his tent and asked his soldiers to guard all sides to prevent anyone from getting close!

After doing this, Fu Hongzhi took out the letters in his arms and laid them out on the desk to identify them carefully.

This handwriting is very familiar!

But not his wife.

It is the handwriting of the former Yongzhou governor and current Zhongshu Ling Wang Xiu!

Wang Xiu and Fu Hongzhi had worked together in Guanzhong for a long time, and Fu Hongzhi still had faith in Wang Xiu's character.

It’s just that the content in the letter is indeed a bit unbelievable.

"He actually asked me to initiate a war with Hu Xia..."

If Wang Xiu hadn't been a confidant of the emperor, Fu Hongzhi would have suspected that Wang Xiu had rebelled!

The current Liu and Song armies are all in the south and Hebei. It is definitely not a wise move to initiate a war in Guanzhong.

If Helianbobo is really driven to the point of panic, the entire northern border of the empire will be rekindled with war. Then Liu Song, who has just been stable for a year, will fall into the quagmire of war again?

"What does this mean?"

Fu Hong alone in the military tent continued to ponder the cause and effect behind this letter.

Wang Xiu was a member of the Emperor's family, which meant that this letter was written to him under the Emperor's instruction.

But why did the emperor want to initiate a war?

Eager for quick success?

impossible!

If today's emperor was really eager for quick success, he would not have withdrawn his troops after capturing Gyeongju. He might have simply sent his troops northward and surrounded them with tens of thousands of troops.

Is this damn politics?

After thinking about it, Fu Hongzhi only had this answer.

Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, more and more people have used the name of the Northern Expedition to expand their presence in the court.

only……

Need to do this today?

I can't understand, I can't understand.

Fu Hongzhi put the letter in front of the candle and burned it thoroughly before walking out of the camp again.

If you don't understand it, don't think about it.

Although provoking a war will cause many negative consequences, and even your own reputation will be damaged...

But when he thought that Liu Yizhen was standing behind him, Fu Hongzhi felt relieved.

So far, the emperor has not missed it.

Since the emperor arranged it this way, it must have a deep meaning!

Fu Hongzhi himself didn't realize that Liu Yizhen's status in his mind was so high that he would always be influenced by the emperor when making decisions.

"Start a war...but not too much..."

This shouldn't be too simple for Fu Hongzhi, a general who excels at cavalry.

Just learn from the barbarians!

Burn, kill, rob, loot.

Very simple!

From this day on, Fu Hongzhi would arrange several cavalry groups of 500 to 1,000 people to go deep into the Hu Xia hinterland every day to search for the Huns' pastures and destroy them.

This made Helian Bobo so angry that he even personally sent a messenger to Fu Hongzhi, cursing the Song army for being brutal!

Unexpectedly, Fu Hongzhi's response made Helian Bobo spit out a mouthful of blood:

"I will repay him with your way..."

"You're actually still angry?"
Chapter completed!
