Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 206 Hebei Corrosion
Fu Hongzhi was in disbelief until he was welcomed into Wubao.

He ordered people to rush to Huai County as quickly as possible, and asked Tan Daoji to send troops to station in Wubao.As for Qi County...

When the magistrate of Qi County saw the Song army coming, he simply abandoned the city and fled back to Yecheng with a large pile of gold and silver.

Because he left in such a hurry, he simply left his wife and concubines in the city, making Fu Hongzhi dumbfounded.

"There is such an escaped county magistrate in the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

What Fu Hongzhi didn't know was that most officials and even generals...are really not that bloody.

This is especially true for a regime like the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was not long established, lacked foundation, and had cultural defects.

In addition, Xi Jin had just been repelled by Tan Daoji in Huai County, which made the officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty even more shaken.

The kind of existences like Yan Zhenqing, Xu Yuan, Zhang Xun, and Nan Jiyun really can only appear in the influence of the Confucian thought of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country.

Now these officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty are all holding the attitude of taking a sum of money and leaving. Few people are really willing to come and fight the Song Army.

Moreover, the county magistrate of Qi County should have also received the news of the Wubao guard's rebellion, so that even if he abandons the city and escapes, he will not be punished too severely.

So for the county magistrate of Qi County, running away was really a good choice.

After Fu Hongzhi happily accepted Qi County, he found that the people in the city were all cheering.

This kind of "mandate of fate" treatment really made Fu Hongzhi feel at ease.

No general wants to see that the people on the land they have laid down look fierce, and they have a rather unfriendly attitude towards themselves.

That not only means that the management of this land will take a lot of energy, but also means "unpopular".

As for things like war, no matter which side it is, they will cover up their motives as "correct", "conform to the will of the people", and "conform to God's will".

If it is hostile, it will not only make soldiers doubt their hearts and affect morale, but also fall into the terrifying "war of the people of the world".

For example, Cao Cao massacred the people of Xuzhou, causing Xuzhou's separatist forces to be resolved until Cao Pi's period.

Fu Hongzhi wasn't there when the Song army captured Huai County, so I don't know what's going on there.But now looking at the attitude of the people in Qi County, I believe Huai County is similar.

"In this way, the hearts of the people can be used, and the great cause of the Northern Expedition can be achieved!"

Tan Daoji, who received the news in Huai County, also sent Zhu Chaoshi to Qi County in a hurry. When he saw Fu Hongzhi, Zhu Chaoshi also had an unbelievable expression.

When he and Tan Daoji took down Huai County, they showed their weakness to the enemy, crossed the sea with concealment, and advanced by land and water, and only then did they get a city that was half burned by Xi Jin before leaving.

Now Fu Hongzhi can pick a city at random, and it is still Qi County, which is not inferior to Huai County in terms of strategic significance.

With such extraordinary luck and Fu Hongzhi's coveted horses, Zhu Chaoshi felt a little sour just like Tan Daoji.

"The gap between people...how is it so big?"

Seeing Zhu Chaoshi's constipated expression, Fu Hongzhi comforted him, "Don't worry! You also have a chance to make meritorious deeds."

"At least you can collect more cities behind me! Hahahahaha!"

The hearty laughter made Zhu Chaoshi even more upset.

"Don't!"

"The army stationed in Hanoi and Qi County is already at the limit of its strength. If we want to expand our power, we must transfer troops from Luoyang. This will make His Majesty's plan go wrong."

Liu Yu's army is a pair of iron fists hidden in the back, and it cannot be too scattered now, otherwise it is very likely that the main force of the Northern Wei Dynasty will not be killed.

"Don't worry! I know!"

"Besides, do you think I can surrender wherever I go?"

If all parts of Hebei were like Qi County, it would be useless even if Xi Jin was in Yecheng. Hebei had already been taken into the arms of the Song Army.

Later, as Fu Hongzhi expected, when they continued to the east, everyone huddled in the city and did not fight head-on with the Changning cavalry.

Fu Hongzhi also took people to sweep the Wubao around the city, and used the food inside as supplies, and distributed the surplus to the surrounding people, so that they could return with a full load of food.

For a time, Song Jun's reputation quickly spread in Hebei, and some people even followed Fu Hongzhi's footsteps and asked to join the army.

This is another happy trouble.

After all, Fu Hongzhi's army is still going deep alone, but because they are cavalry, they can retreat at any time, so that they can do whatever they want in the Hebei border.

If you take these people with you, the goal is too big, and it will be easy to be surrounded.

It's just that Fu Hongzhi was not reconciled to giving up these soldiers like this, so he said that the Song Army had established a foothold in Qi County, and those who wanted to join the army could go to Qi County.

Qi County is not far from the scope of Fu Hongzhi's activities, and there is actually a passionate young man named Ying Liang Jingcong who went to Qi County to join the Song Army's subordinates.

Fu Hongzhi went east all the way, urging everyone to go to Qi County while walking.When they got close to Qinghe County, they simply asked the people to cross the river to find Shen Tianzi.

Not only was Fu Hongzhi advancing along the way in southern Hebei, but even the people in some counties and counties in eastern Hebei were eager to move when they heard the news that the Song army was coming.

There is even the shadow of the family behind it.

They are not necessarily sure that the Song army can succeed in the Northern Expedition. After all, there have been several Northern Expeditions that have been able to reach Hebei since the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

They just want to invest on both sides.

Let your family members go to the Song Army to find out the news first. If the Northern Expedition is successful, you can also rely on the "surrender" of your family members to get acquainted. At least try to keep most of your own interests as much as possible.

So the Lu family of Fanyang, the Li family of Zhaojun, and even the Cui family of Qinghe all sent their clansmen to join the Song army.

Among them, the most leisurely one belongs to the Bohai giants - the Bohai Gao family.

After Gao Yun went to Guanzhong a few years ago, he was brought to Jiankang by Liu Yizhen, which obviously meant to be reused.

And Liu Yizhen was left behind by Liu Yu, everyone could see the meaning here.

Liu Yizhen has made a fortune, and Gao Yun will not be far behind.After having this kind of relationship, compared to other aristocratic families who are in a state of desperation, the members of the Bohai Gao family are almost celebrating each other.

That is to say, the forces of the Song Army have not yet reached Bohai County, otherwise the people of the Gao family in Bohai may die of joy.

Anyway, in the situation of the aristocratic family, in the face of danger, the situation in Hebei is deteriorating in an instant.

A large number of able-bodied men began to go to Hanoi County, Qi County, and Qingzhou under the instigation of the aristocratic family, and even began to affect Xi Jin's judgment on the movement of the Song Army to a certain extent.

"That does not work!"

Xi Jin of Yecheng did not dare to take bloody and violent suppression of these people at this time, otherwise he would die if a large number of civil uprisings in Hebei were caused.

"Send the situation in Hebei to Pingcheng!"

Now we can only look at the decision of the center.
