MTL - Wei and Jin Cooks-Chapter 708 Bingzhou news
Gao Hui came back this time and not only brought back a lot of money, furs and medicinal materials to Fu Tinghan, but also brought back several important news.
"Liu Yuan is sick."
Fu Tinghan was surprised and asked, "Is the news accurate?"
Gao Hui nodded and said: "I am acquainted with a general named Zhou in the Shi Le army. I heard him vaguely reveal that the news should be true."
He said: "Liu Yuan is sick, but for some reason he wants to send troops to attack Jinyang. Hearing that Liu Cong's army has already left for Jinyang, Liu Yuan still wants to send troops from Shangdang, but Shi Le refuses because of the shortage of food and grass. "
Fu Tinghan frowned, "You get such big news easily?"
Gao Hui then said: "The army is already on its way, and the group of Jiehu has long refused to accept the Huns. This is their news, and it is not from Shi Le's army, so those generals have no scruples about talking, and the humble ones can find out with two more jars of wine. to the news."
Fu Tinghan: "Is there any other news?"
"Yes, Wang Jun and Liu Kun in Youzhou are fighting, and they seem to want to take advantage of the winter to send troops," Gao Hui said in a low voice, "I reckon that the reason why Shi Le refused to allow Liu Yuan to send troops is because he wanted to send troops to Jizhou, from Wang Jun's hand." Grab the land."
Wang Jun is the governor of Youzhou, but he still occupies a part of Jizhou, and at the same time holds the official title of governor of Qingzhou. The appointment of officials in the Great Jin Dynasty at this time is very chaotic. Some are self-appointed, some are appointed by the imperial edict, and some are higher First-level princes and emperors were repeatedly appointed.
Wang Jun was promoted eight years ago after participating in the poisoning of the first prince. He led the governor of Qingyou and Youzhou, which was bestowed by the former emperor, and Gou Chun, who is now leading the governor of Qingzhou, was bestowed by the current emperor of Jin.
"Tsk tsk tsk," Zhao Hanzhang said: "He has such great ambitions, why doesn't he go to grab Qingzhou from Gou Chun? It's justified, he has to grab Jizhou from Liu Kun."
Jizhou is in the south of Youzhou and east of Bingzhou. Liu Kun was besieged in Jinyang by the Huns. The Shangdang has a special geographical location and a strong army, and Pingyang is the capital of the Huns and Han. In the direction of Jizhou, which is relatively weak in defense.
Otherwise, one day Liu Kun will be trapped to death in Jinyang.
Both Jin ministers, Wang Jun not only helped Liu Kun, but even wanted to fight back Liu Kun's forces, who had finally broken out of the encirclement.
Fu Tinghan asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
Zhao Hanzhang: "It's too far away. We are separated by Shi Le and Liu Yuan. I can't help him even if I want to."
She paused and said: "If Shi Le sends troops, I can send troops to help him contain Shi Le's army, but for Wang Jun, I am in Luoyang and he is in Youzhou. There is such a large territory in between. There are several forces. It won't work for him."
"By the way, what did Gao Xi ask you to do?"
Fu Tinghan: "He asked me to contact Wang Jun and join hands with him to seize Jizhou. Wang Jun will take the north of Anping Kingdom, and I will occupy the south of Anping Kingdom."
"He is crazy. Is Shi Le blind, just watching us go to occupy Jizhou? And do you have any people?"
"I don't have it, you do." Fu Tinghan couldn't help but smiled, and said, "He said, let me persuade you to send troops to rob Jizhou. When the time comes, the territory will expand and you will be in such an important position. You must be short of people." , so we can put someone in here."
"The seized part of Jizhou is adjacent to Shangdang in the west, Yongzhou in the south, and Qingzhou in the west. After a short operation, we will be able to contact us. No, I will cut off contact with you. By then, this part of Jizhou will completely belong to me."
"Sounds good, but he is not afraid. The three parties shot at the same time and wiped out all the people trapped inside?"
Fu Tinghan smiled and said: "Gao Hui thinks that since Liu Kun has been able to defend Jinyang alone for many years, we should also be able to keep this part of Jizhou under the siege of many forces."
Zhao Hanzhang began to ponder, calculated in his brain and then shook his head, "It's too aggressive. Although Liu Kun is a fun-loving person, his ability is really strong. Jinyang has a favorable location. He can defend Jinyang, but it doesn't mean that he is a high-spirited man. A few people can defend Jizhou."
She doesn't want to be so aggressive, but prefers to be steady and steady.
Fu Tinghan nodded, "I think so too, but I still want to hear your opinion before rejecting him."
He said: "They brought back a lot of money this year, but I didn't recruit a single soldier, and the manpower I got was also few. He was a little bit guilty."
Zhao Hanzhang laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said happily, "Tell him, you are now the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhao Hanzhang's iron ore and copper mines are all in your hands. I will act according to your face."
Fu Tinghan showed a smile, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay."
But Gao Hui is stubborn, he thinks that although these are powerful, they are not as powerful as military power.
Because: "Once Zhao Shijun is unhappy, she can change the master with a word, but the military power is different. If you have soldiers in your hands, how dare she change them at will?"
In fact, what he said is quite reasonable, but Fu Tinghan only likes to write and do calculations, to research some things in the future to help Zhao Hanzhang, and has no interest in leading troops to fight and training soldiers.
Because of the news brought back by Gao Hui, Zhao Hanzhang felt that their caravan was not just about making money. She and Fu Tinghan said: "Be nice to them, buy their hearts, let them make persistent efforts next year, and ask more about it. Come back with news from outside."
Fu Tinghan should go down.
I went to meet the caravan the next day, and personally handed out a big red envelope to each of them, telling them to take a good rest during this period, and then go out after the Chinese New Year.
After receiving the red envelope, even Gao Hui was happy, and then asked Fu Tinghan, "Have you mentioned the matter of sending troops to Jizhou with Zhao Shijun?"
Fu Tinghan nodded, and talked with him aside, "Hanzhang didn't agree, this move is too risky, and she and Liu Kun are friends, how can you make trouble at this time?"
"This is the defect of women in power," Gao Jiao said: "When it comes to fighting for world hegemony, what morality is said is naturally that interests come first."
Gao Hui thought that Zhao Hanzhang only wanted to be a minister of the Jin Dynasty, but never wanted to compete in the world. He obviously has such power, but he is willing to settle down in a corner. Gao Hui looks down on him very much.
Fu Tinghan glanced at him, did not mention Zhao Hanzhang's ambition, but said: "If I have no morals, Mr. Gao will follow me?"
Gao Jiao was stunned, and immediately said: "The lord has a broad mind, he has both the hope of accepting and the heart of competition, and there are very few people in the world who can stand up to the lord. If you are humble, if you don't follow the lord, who can you follow?"
The words are very pleasant, but Fu Tinghan is not confused. If he could leave Luoyang, he would definitely go to follow Gou Xi's example and choose Fu Tinghan. It's just because he thinks he is a rare commodity and has no confidants around him?
Fu Tinghan smiled and said warmly: "I know Mr. Gao's heart, but there is no need to mention this matter again. This matter is important, and even Hanzhang will not be dictatorial. It is the result of discussions among the staff."
It's just Ji Yuan, Ming Yu, or Wei Jie, they all agree to send troops to Jizhou at this time.
Wei Jie even suggested to Zhao Hanzhang to help Liu Kun. He said: "Liu Yueshi is very loyal, so if you can help him at this time, he will be rewarded. And Liu Yueshi and Tuoba Xianbei became brothers, and this time they will be sent back. Most of the horses were bought from Tuoba Xianbei."
