Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 380 The storm is coming
Reincarnation is a science. For example, Aman was born with a good life. He was loved by thousands of people and lived a life of fine clothing and food since he was a child.

Also proficient in the knowledge of reincarnation was Huan Ji's newly born second son.

To a certain extent, he is luckier than Aman, because he does not need to work as hard as Aman to prove to everyone that he is a qualified heir.

Of course, this is undoubtedly a happy trouble for Aman.

There are countless people in this world who envy him for taking on this responsibility.

As the saying goes, sickness comes like falling from a mountain and goes away like spinning threads. Huan Xi is not a group of quack doctors. After a few days of recuperation in Weiyang Palace, Aman finally recovered.

It's just that his body is not fully recovered, but he can't wait to return to Shangshutai and learn from Wang Meng how to handle government affairs.

For Huan Xi, away from the war, life seemed calm, but in fact, it was full of undercurrents.

"This is the calm before the storm."

After reading the information sent back from Jinyang, Huan Xi shook his head helplessly at Wang Meng.

Intelligence warfare should never be taken lightly.

He knew that behind his light words was how much effort Wang Meng had to put in.

Rather than sit back and watch Liang Guo continuously mine salt and make huge profits, it is better to choose to share it with Yan Guo.

The strength of the Yu State was simply not enough to recapture Hedong County from Huan Xi. Therefore, Fu Jian had to rely on the power of the Yan State.

Huan Xi nodded slightly.

For Fu Jian, this was also a helpless move.

With that said, Huan Xi handed the information to Wang Meng for review.

Huan Xi said seriously.

Wang Meng was mentally prepared for this, so he did not panic. He handed the information back to Huan Xi:
"Looking at this situation, Wang Yuan has been able to access the secrets of Yu State."

Intelligence showed that Yu and Yan were preparing to jointly send troops to recapture Hedong County, as predicted by Huan Xi and Wang Meng. After this was accomplished, the two families agreed to share salt profits.

This is undoubtedly good news for Huan Xi. With Wang Yuan lurking beside Li Wei, the Yu State is equivalent to being one-way transparent to Huan Xi.

For example, this time, Huan Xi even knew in advance that Fu Jian was planning to use a large number of troops after the spring plowing.

The source of this information is true and reliable. Huan Xi has basically determined that after the spring plowing, the two families will send troops to Hedong County.

However, for Wang Meng, the feeling of being relied on by Huan Xi is like poison, which is addictive. Compared with the current hard work, he is more afraid that one day he will not be needed by Huan Xi.

Wang Yuan did not waste the opportunity he created for him. He successfully approached Li Wei and gained the other party's trust.

Therefore, he must prepare for it in advance.

"Sir, I want to mobilize 100,000 cavalry in Hedong, and I need you to provide me with logistics."

Now that Li Wei has been redeemed by his family, Empress Dowager Gou and Fu Jian, mother and son, have not changed their trust in him. Wang Yuan mentioned in a secret letter that Li Wei was often summoned to the palace by Empress Dowager Gou, and Fu Jian still continued to work. Like father.

"This is a minor matter."

Wang Meng laughed.

Huan Xi was only responsible for leading the troops to the expedition, and Wang Meng took care of the preparations before the expedition and the logistics after the expedition. In this battle, Huan Xi prepared to use all the elites in the army. Therefore, Baibao Xianbei had to be mobilized south. This armored cavalry was regarded as a trump card in Huan Xi's hands. It was previously used to deal with Fu Jian's offensive on the northern front last year. .

Now, after losing Hedong County, the Yu State's finances are facing a major crisis. Although their military strength has not suffered a serious blow, they no longer have the ability to expedition to Hetao.

If we attack Yinchuan from Jinyang and go up the Yellow River, the actual distance will be two to three thousand miles. Even if we drive livestock to fight, the cost will be astronomical.

The current financial resources of Yu State are simply not enough to support such a battle, so Huan Xi is not worried at all that he transferred Baibao Xianbei, but was shot falsely by Fu Jian.

In fact, Huan Xi has regarded this year's war in which Yu and Yan jointly attacked Hedong County as Yu's death struggle.

Once this battle fails, even Fu Jian may not be able to overcome the domestic conflicts, and it will be even worse for Yu State's finances.

With no hope in sight, there will only be more and more people like Wang Yuan.

Seeing that the ship is about to sink, how many people can face death calmly and choose to die for their country.

In the late Ming Dynasty, there was even a great scholar who disliked the cold water and itchy scalp, so he became the right minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty.

Before Huanxi attacked Hedong County, three surnames from Hedong came to surrender one after another. If he can defeat the Yan and Yu coalition forces again in this battle, Huanxi guessed that even the Taiyuan Wang family who settled in Jinyang would have to consider their own future.

Huan Xi looked at Wang Meng and said in a deep voice:

"I will definitely come back victorious from this battle!"

However, what Huan Xi didn't know was that Murong Jun, who was far away in Yecheng, was also full of confidence in the upcoming war.

Jiuhua Palace is located in the northeast corner of Yecheng. It was built under the order of Shi Hu, and Xianyang Hall is its main hall.

Since ancient times, the names of the palaces have come and gone. There is a Xianyang Palace in Jiankang, but it is not as magnificent as the Xianyang Palace in Jiuhua Palace.

Of course, Shi Hu abused the people's power and built so many palaces, which all ended up being advantageous to those who came after him.

Jiuhua Palace, inside Xianyang Hall.

Murong Jun summoned Taiyuan King Murong Ke, Wu King Murong Chui, Sikong Yangqian, Situ Murong Ping, and leading general Mu Yugen to discuss the matter of his personal expedition.

Murong Jun believed in Murong Ke's talent from beginning to end and never had the slightest doubt. However, Murong Ke suffered setbacks twice after all. He also failed in the battle for Luoyang and then failed in Hedong.

Even after two failures, the Yan army did not suffer much loss, and even Murong Ke could not be said to have returned without success.

While the battle for Luoyang failed, Murong Ke took over Hanoi County. When he retreated from Hedong, he took the opportunity to occupy Zhiguanxing and completely controlled a passage across the Taihang Mountains.

However, even if there were no major military defeats in the two labor expeditions, the gains were far from being able to offset the material losses caused by sending troops.

Therefore, domestic complaints are inevitable.

Murong Jun thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to go on a personal expedition.

He was not an emperor who did not know how to fight. In the early years, when Murong Jun was still the prince of Yan, he had led troops to attack Duanbu Xianbei and returned with a great victory.

The reason why he no longer led troops in these years was because Murong Jun was self-aware. He knew that in terms of military skills, Murong Ke's talents far exceeded his own, so there was no need to fight in person.

However, it's time for a change.
