Chapter 884

The three candidates recommended by this subordinate made Yelu Hongji quite satisfied, and these people were indeed quite capable civil and military generals in Daliao.

If not, he would not have been assigned by himself to take on important tasks in the army, assisting his younger brothers Yelu and Lu Wei to attack the Song Court in the south.

It's just that these three people have their own shortcomings.

Yelu Hongji cleared his throat and walked slowly in a circle, beginning to analyze the shortcomings of these three subordinates.

"Yelu Jinping, brave and good at fighting, must be the first in every battle, often take the lead, these advantages, I naturally know, but unfortunately, his talent is slightly insufficient, he can be a good general, but not a handsome talent."

"Your Majesty really has a discerning eye, and you can see at a glance the shortcomings of General Yelu Jinping." Naturally, someone hurriedly slapped his ass.

Yelu Hongji became more and more proud, paced a few more steps, and commented on the next candidate. "As for Xiao Shenqing's family, they have both literary talents and martial arts, and they are loyal to me, if they are polished more, they will become a great tool."

"It's a pity that his age and qualifications are a little insufficient, otherwise, I wouldn't have put him in the position of deputy envoy of the prison army."

"As for Xiao Wunaqing's family, he is the minister of my Great Liao Zhushi, loyal, and only good at strategy, and he knows a lot about the Song Court, but unfortunately, Xiao Wunaqing's family is a civil servant, and he has never had the experience of leading troops, and the other thing is that Xiao Wunaqing's family is nearly seventy years old, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to support him to preside over such a military burden."

"Your Majesty, you have analyzed so much, it is indeed reasonable, and the hearts of the ministers and others suddenly brightened, but the ministers thought that although these three candidates had their own shortcomings, they all had an advantage, that is, they were all in the coalition camp at the moment."

"When marching and fighting, the most feared thing is that the general does not know the soldiers, and all three of them follow the army, and after more than a month of running-in, there will be no such biggest flaw."

These words also made Yelu Hongji have to nod and admit that this is indeed the truth.

Yelu Hongji stroked his beard for a long time, and carefully calculated the pros and cons of these three people. "Which of these three do you think is more suitable to take on this heavy trust?"

"In the opinion of the minister, I am afraid that among the three, the most suitable one is only Lord Xiao Shen." Another subordinate stepped forward and spoke loudly.

"Why?"

"As His Majesty Fang Cai said, he is good at martial arts, lacks wisdom, and is handsome, when he has both civil and military skills, he can make the soldiers work together, and he also needs to be energetic......"

"In comparison, General Yelu Jinping is superior in martial arts, but his wisdom is slightly insufficient, and although Lord Xiao Wuna is highly respected and strategic, he does not know about military affairs, so Erchen thinks that Lord Xiao Shen is the most suitable."

"Yes, the minister also thinks that Lord Xiao Shen is more suitable for this role."

Among the ministers present, there were also those who recommended Yelu Jinping, and there were also those who recommended Xiao Wuna, but they still recommended Xiao Shen to occupy the advantage.

The important thing is that Xiao Shen happens to be both civil and military, and he previously served as the military supervisor second only to the commander, so it seems to be more justifiable to let him take the position.

Yelu Hongji thought about it for a long time, and it seemed that for a while, he really couldn't find a more suitable candidate than Xiao Shen. However, Yelu Hongji always felt that if he made such a decision, would it be too hasty?

However, all the civil and military ministers present already knew that Yelu Hongji, the son of heaven of Daliao, had already thought of changing the commander, so the twists and turns asking the son of heaven to change the commander were handed to Yelu Hongji's desk like snowflakes.

Three days, three days later, he once again received a military report from the Liaoxia coalition army from the south, looking at the report that was the same as in the past, and there was no new meaning, and finally, Yelu Hongji made up his mind: change the commander.

And when Yelu Hongji's holy decree was not issued, there were naturally ministers who were good friends with Yelu and Lu Wei, and ministers who had close personal relations with Xiao Wuna sent their own men to gallop towards the south on horseback.

There are also people who sent news to Xiao Shen, but the people who delivered the news to Xiao Shen are not only acquaintances with him, but also ministers who have personal relations with him, and at this moment, they also want to take this opportunity to get in touch with this rising future minister.
