Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 312 Opportunity
"it is good!"

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

The first shot was not about the feudal king's resignation, but about the academy.

"Now the families have sent people away one after another..."

Liu Yizhen's extremely abrupt change of words made 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 is already gradually diluting Jiankang's power.

Going to build academies in various places is almost the top priority of the major families at present. In order to be the first to seize the opportunity, they will inevitably spend a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

Even if this is to give the aristocratic family a time to "escape", it is also to reduce the pressure that the future emperor will face.

In addition, the emperor also gave up the most important position of Yangzhou Academy to Langya Wang.It is because the Langya Wang family still has the status of a foreign relative, keeping the power of the Langya Wang family in Jiankang is also a means of reducing pressure in the future.

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

up to a limit.

When that aristocratic family is no longer willing to send forces outside, that is when Liu Yi really wants to act.

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

Liu Yizhen moved his eyes to Wang Xiu, and Wang Xiu's heart skipped a beat...

North of Guanzhong.

Gyeongju.

This piece of homeland that has just been recovered is extremely lively.

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

Now the Changning army led by Fu Hongzhi has moved from Guanzhong to Gyeongju. The strong military force has given the people here a sufficient sense of security. After a year of hard work, they are somewhat prosperous as when they "dream back to the Western Han Dynasty".

On this day, Fu Hongzhi led some cavalry to ride horses to the border with Hu Xia early on, jumping back and forth provocatively.

With the land and the horses captured in the last war, the Changning army has expanded to 7000 people, and it is about to cross the [-]-man barrier.

Moreover, Liu Song's cavalry is different from Hu Xia's, with the support of Guanzhong and even the whole country, their equipment is a level stronger than Hu Xia's.

With such strong power, of course Fu Hongzhi would not stay in Guanzhong as before, but would just stroll around the border to provoke the Huns.

If he encountered Hu Xia's scout who was alone, Fu Hongzhi would even send his cavalry to pursue the opponent, nicknamed "Training Soldiers".

"General! General!"

far.

From the direction of Gyeongju, a scout ran towards Fu Hongzhi: "There is a letter from your family."

Home letter?

Fu Hongzhi was a little puzzled, didn't he just come to write a letter from home not long ago?Why come again?

The surrounding soldiers of Fu Hongzhi laughed and said, "It's impossible to think that the general's wife misses the general so much, but I don't know what nasty love stories are in it?"

"Get out! We are old couples, what can we do!"

Having said that, Fu Hongzhi hid the letter aside with a smile on his face and secretly hid the letter in his arms to check it.

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

After reading it, Fu Hongzhi immediately hid the letter carefully 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 hands: "How dare I wait! This is the general's family letter. No one dares to open it privately after eating the bear's heart and leopard's guts."

Only now did Fu Hongzhi's expression soften a little.

Pull the rein: "Go, go back."

"General, will you stop fishing today?"

Fishing is just looking for opportunities to chase the Huns scouts.

"do not fight."

Fu Hongzhi was full of worries along the way, and the soldiers around him didn't dare to ask any more questions, but followed Fu Hongzhi back to the barracks somewhat disappointed.

When he returned to the barracks, Fu Hongzhi drove everyone out of his camp, and ordered his personal soldiers to guard the four sides, not letting anyone approach him!
After doing this, Fu Hongzhi took out the letter from his arms and spread it out on the table to carefully identify it.

This handwriting is very familiar!
But not his wife.

It is the handwriting of Wang Xiu, the former governor of Yongzhou and now Zhongshu Ling!
Wang Xiu and Fu Hongzhi had worked together in Guanzhong for a long time, and Fu Hongzhi believed in Wang Xiu's character.

It's just that the truth of the letter is a bit unbelievable.

"He actually wanted me to take the initiative to provoke a war with Hu Xia..."

If Wang Xiu was not the emperor's confidant, Fu Hongzhi would have suspected that Wang Xiu had rebelled!

The current Liu Song army is in the south and Hebei. It is definitely not a wise move to take the initiative to provoke a war in Guanzhong.

If Helian Bobo is really forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, the northern border of the entire empire will be rekindled. In this way, Liu Song, who has just been stable for a year, will fall into the quagmire of war again?

"What the hell does that mean?"

One of Fu Hong kept pondering the cause and effect behind this letter in his military tent.

Wang Xiu is a man of the emperor, which means that this letter was written to him at the behest of the emperor.

But why did the emperor want to take the initiative to provoke a war?
Quick success?

impossible!
If today's son was really eager for quick success, it would be impossible for him to withdraw his troops after taking down Gyeongju at that time. Maybe he would have sent his troops to the north and surrounded him with thousands of troops.

Is it bloody politics?

After much deliberation, Fu Hongzhi only had this answer.

Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there have been many people who have used the name of the Northern Expedition to expand themselves in the court.

only……

Do we need to do this today?

Can't figure it out, can't figure it out.

Fu Hongzhi put the letter in front of the candle and burned it cleanly before leaving the tent again.

If you don't understand, you don't want to.

Although instigating a war will cause many evil consequences, and even damage one's own reputation...

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, there must be a deep meaning!
Fu Hongzhi himself didn't realize that Liu Yizhen's status in his heart was already so high that he would always be influenced by the emperor when making decisions.

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

This should not be too simple for Fu Hongzhi, a general who can play cavalry superbly.

Just learn from nonsense!

Burn, kill, loot, loot.

Very simple!
From this day on, Fu Hongzhi would arrange several cavalry of 1000 to [-] people to go deep into the hinterland of Hu Xia every day to find the pastures of the Huns and destroy them.

This made He Lianbo very angry, and even personally sent a messenger to deliver a letter to Fu Hongzhi, scolding the Song army for being brutal!
Unexpectedly, Fu Hongzhi's response made Helian even spit out a mouthful of old blood angrily:

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

"Are you still angry?"
