Chapter 1104 I Can't Understand

Not long after Yun Zheng issued the order, Tuo Huan came over.

"Your Highness, this is a document sent by someone from the court!"

Tuohuan handed a document to Yun Zheng.

Documents?

This should be the document that my father mentioned in the letter, right?

It was delivered so soon?

Yun Zheng immediately took the document and opened it, only to find that it was a memorial.

It was a memorial submitted by Kang Guangyan, the governor of Yuzhou, to the imperial court reporting the losses of the three counties of Yuzhou.

Although Yun Zheng had previously received some information about the losses in the three counties of Yuzhou, he was still very angry when he saw this memorial.

Yun Zheng suddenly realized.

I guess it was the memorial that made the emperor so angry that he vomited blood?

At the end of the memorial was Emperor Wen’s imperial comments.

It was something like asking him to fight against Yu Country.

But he didn't know whether it was written by Emperor Wen himself. He was not very familiar with Emperor Wen's handwriting and could not tell the authenticity from the handwriting.

However, whether it was written by Emperor Wen is no longer important.

Even if it wasn't written by Emperor Wen, it must have been an idea he gave to the third brother.

This is the thing that made Emperor Wen feel that he had made a mess of things!

However, just this alone doesn't seem to backfire, right?

Is there any sequel to this matter?

Yun Zheng thought for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he handed the document to Tuohuan.

"A traitor?"

Tuo Huan just glanced at them and said with disdain: "It's just the winners and losers, how can there be any traitors?"

"That's true."

Yun Zheng nodded slightly, "Let's not worry about this for now, let's go and petition the court to reduce Fuzhou's taxes!"

"Yep!"

Tuo Huan laughed, "This is the real business!"

Although the autumn harvest in Fuzhou has not yet been completed, they already have a general idea of ​​the situation.

Compared with last year's good weather and harvest season, Fuzhou's grain production this year has dropped by about 30%.

This fully meets the standards for tax reduction and exemption.

The two men came to the study and immediately began to discuss how to write the memorial requesting tax reduction.

"Just exaggerate!"

Yun Zheng said: "Let's say that Fuzhou's grain production is expected to decrease by more than 60%. Previously, the government spent a lot of money on disaster relief, and there is really no tax to be paid to the court. Please ask the court to reduce Fuzhou's silk tax and land tax for three years!"

"Three...three years?"

Tuohuan was stunned.

"You ask for a high price, but you pay the low price!"

Yun Zheng smiled faintly, "I know the character of the third brother! If you ask for a tax reduction for one year, he can directly reduce it to half! If you directly ask for a tax reduction for three years, he can only reduce it to one year at most..."

"Your Highness is wise!"

Tuohuan suddenly understood and was filled with admiration.

"Okay, stop flattering me."

Yun Zheng waved his hand, "You write the memorial! When you're done, just write my name on it and stamp it with the Fuzhou governor's seal!"

"it is good!"

Tuo Huan gladly accepted the order.

……

The unusual movement of the Fuzhou army naturally did not escape the eyes and ears of Zhao Ji, who was closely watching the movements of the Fuzhou army.

Zhao Ji, who was inspecting the Xiongjiling camp, was the first to receive news of the unusual movements of the Fuzhou army.

"General Zhao, is Yun Zheng going to raise an army?"

"If Yun Zheng wants to raise an army, we must prepare in advance, otherwise, we may be ambushed!"

"The King of Jingbei won't raise an army, right?"

"Who can guarantee that it won't happen? The autumn harvest has just passed, and it's the perfect time to raise an army!"

"What a fool! If the King of Jingbei wants to raise an army, why doesn't he send troops to Badong Town, but to Yaoxi instead?"

"..."

Upon learning of the unusual movements of the Fuzhou army, several senior generals who were accompanying Zhao Ji in inspecting the camp suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy and began to discuss the matter.

"Go back to camp!"

Zhao Ji ignored the discussions of the generals, quickly mounted his horse, and galloped towards the central army camp.

These generals did not know the situation in the court, but he knew it clearly.

Emperor Wen is seriously ill and may die at any time!

Yun Zheng must have also received the news that Emperor Wen was seriously ill, and it is indeed possible that he was preparing for raising an army in advance.

This matter is a bit troublesome!

The generals reacted and hurried to follow.

Soon, they returned to the central camp.

Zhao Ji quickly led his men into the central military tent and came to the huge sand table.

Yaoxi.

Ju Ping!

Zhao Ji quickly found the locations of these two places on the sand table.

Yaoxi is adjacent to Liangzhou.

Juping is the junction of Minzhou, Muzhou and Fuzhou.

Yun Zheng dispatched troops to these two directions. At first glance, it seemed that he was preparing to attack the imperial army in three directions.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Ji felt that it was impossible.

According to the information he received, the original garrison in Yaoxi was only about 5,000 people.

The Fuzhou troops transferred to Yaoxi this time were only more than 10,000 people.

By the time those more than 10,000 people arrived in Yaoxi, there would be only about 20,000 people at most.

Although they did not have many troops stationed in Liangzhou, the troops stationed in Xiongjiling and the northwest front added up to 200,000!

No matter how arrogant Yun Zheng was, he wouldn't be so arrogant as to attack their army of 200,000 with only 20,000 troops, right?

As for Juping, it seemed that there were only five or six thousand troops.

There aren't many troops stationed in Muzhou, but this small number of people may be able to capture the entire Muzhou.

But Yun Zheng's capture of Muzhou doesn't seem to have a particularly big impact on the entire war situation, right?

Moreover, there seemed to be no unusual movements by the garrison in Badong Town.

This is very abnormal!

Zhao Ji stared quietly at the sand table in front of him, thinking constantly in his mind.

Judging from the current situation, Yun Zheng doesn't seem to be attacking, but rather in a defensive posture!

But why should Yun Zheng defend?

Could it be that Yun Zheng is still afraid that the imperial army will attack Fuzhou?

Or, did something big happen in Shuobei or Northwest Protectorate?

Ok?

This... is possible!

Zhao Ji's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he immediately ordered: "Yang Po, I order you to lead your 27,000 troops to station in Qima City, Liangzhou immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Han Dezhao, I order you to lead our 9,000 troops to Linjiang City in Juzhou immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Remember, as long as Fuzhou County does not initiate an attack, you must not mobilize a single soldier without authorization! Anyone who disobeys orders will be executed!"

"I will obey your orders!"

"Send a message to Pei Mao of Juzhou to keep a close eye on the movements of the Fuzhou army! But do not clash with the Fuzhou army without authorization! If the Fuzhou army takes the initiative to attack, do not leave the city to fight, hold on and wait for help!"

"Yes!"

"Zhao Tuo, immediately lead your men to the northwest front camp as fast as possible, and order Lin Huai to send people to investigate the news from Xiqu to see if Yun Zheng and Xiqu have fought a war! If there is any news, report it immediately!"

"Yes!"

After issuing several orders in succession, Zhao Ji hurriedly sat down again, quickly wrote a memorial, and ordered someone to send it back to the imperial city at an express speed of 800 miles.

After doing all this, Zhao Ji came to the sand table again and stared at it carefully.

But after looking around, Zhao Ji was unable to determine the true intentions of the Fuzhou army.

"General Zhao, do you think Yun Zheng will raise an army to rebel?"

At this time, a general next to him asked.

"What, are you scared?"

Zhao Ji glanced over.

"no no……"

The general shook his head and laughed dryly: "I just don't understand the actions of the Fuzhou Army..."

"nonsense!"

Zhao Ji glared at him and said, "Not only do you not understand, I also don't understand! If Yun Zheng's plan is easily seen through by us, can he still be called the world's number one general?"

The general was speechless and stopped talking...
