The second letter was delivered by Li Pian through the Yunnan Jinju Institute in Beijing. The content of the letter was roughly the same as that sent by Qian Cong at the beginning, but the next content surprised Li Yi. The letter said that due to Li Zhishun's unexpected defeat and Liang Kezhen's temporary immobility, the dispute between the ministers of the DPRK and China was instantly rampant.

Dozens of ministers led by the left servant He Zhi, the servant of the Ministry of Officials Lu Ying, and the Duguan Langzhong Zheng Ao proposed that Wu Huaien, the chief of the internal guard, the Shangzhu State, and the general of the protector of the country, go out on the expedition, and increase the number of tens of thousands of troops under its control, in order to level the Fujian State in one fell swoop. Such a statement is indeed very tempting, and it almost made Liu Yan tempted.

However, powerful ministers such as Wang Dingbao, the servant of Zhongshu, Xiao Yi, the envoy of Chongwen, the right servant and the imperial history of the left capital, and Wang Luan, the envoy of the Western Yuan, believe that under the current situation, there is no internal strife in the stability and unity of Fujian, and the military strength is not much better than that of China. Even if a well-commanded handsome person like Wu Huaien is dispatched, as well as an army of more than 100,000, he may not be able to win smoothly.

And if the war drags on for a long time, it will be unbearable for both countries. The two tigers must be injured when they fight, and for the Chu State that is eyeing the north of the tiger, it is undoubtedly a great opportunity, if they take the opportunity to attack the whole country, it is still unknown whether the Guangbei defense line can be held.

Therefore, if it is prudent, the current situation should be maintained, and if necessary, it is the best policy to reach a conditional settlement with the Fujian side. But this strategy of putting stability first made Liu Yan veto it without hesitation, you must know that Liu Yan, who is in anger, how can he easily swallow this breath!

At this time, several ministers led by the founding father, Shangshu Zuocheng, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Ni Shu, the inner permanent servant, the inner palace envoy, the deputy head of the inner guard, Shangzhuguo, and the hussar general Shao Tingjuan believed that although Liang Kezhen had fought for many years and made many military exploits, he was now old, more than successful, and not enterprising, and he was no longer as brave as he used to be, and it was time to use young generals.

The candidates they put forward really surprised many people. That is the deputy envoy of Guangbei Jiedu, who made repeated exploits in the war against Chu, and now Wu Xun, the envoy of Zhenxiong Jiedu.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yan was just silent, and after a while, he said with emotion: "Although Wu Xun is brave and strategic, he has not had outstanding military exploits for many years.

In the past two years, the only person who has been able to expand the territory for the Han Dynasty is Li Yi, who is far away in Yunnan. In just over two years in Yunnan, he was able to win all four battles and laugh at the land of several counties. If he is transferred back, I don't know what the result will be. ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Yan's seemingly unintentional joke attracted the opposition of all the ministers. Among the opponents, there was Shao Tingjuan, a regular servant who had always been good friends with Li Yi, and the reason for his opposition was that the major events of the country's conquest and war directly determined the prosperity and survival of the country, and it must not be handed over to people with insufficient qualifications and fame.

Although Li Yi won many miraculous victories in Yunnan, he faced opponents of equal strength and won the help of his neighbors. The victory achieved in the situation of superior strength is not enough to show his true ability.

Moreover, Li Yi is young and has little qualifications, and his prestige in the army is not worth mentioning, so it is difficult to subdue the generals in the army who have always been extremely arrogant. Before the war started, the spirit of the first three points was setback, and this battle did not need to be fought at all.

Seeing Shao Tingjuan's evaluation of himself like this, Li Yi suddenly had a sense of loss, but after thinking about it carefully, Li Yi quickly understood Shao Tingjuan's good intentions.

Fighting against the Min State is actually a very dangerous thing. Although the land area and population of Fujian are less than half of that of the Southern Han Dynasty, the mountains in the entire country are steep, the terrain is complex, and the combat effectiveness of the army is quite strong.

This is also an important reason why the small Min State was able to survive in the gap between the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Southern Han Dynasty and the Chu State. Therefore, the Southern Han Dynasty could not take advantage of the Fujian State at all.

And with his own qualifications and fame, if he wants to fight with the army of Fujian, just subduing his generals is enough for him to have a headache.

Therefore, the generals can't work together, and half of the battle has already been lost, so what is the certainty of victory! Shao Tingjuan tried his best to prevent Li Yi from taking over the war, undoubtedly putting himself in his own shoes.

Thinking of this, Li Yi's mood has quickly calmed down. With his own understanding of history, although there were constant small frictions between the Southern Han Dynasty and the Fujian Kingdom, there had been no major wars, and this turmoil would eventually disappear, so why should I be obsessed with it.

Li Yi handed the letter in his hand to Lin Yi, and after he finished reading it, he asked with a wry smile: "In the opinion of the sixth brother, who will the emperor choose to lead the troops to fight against Fujian in the end?" ”

After thinking for a while, Lin Yi said categorically: "If it is not bad as I expected, I am afraid that Wu Dashuai will not be idle this time." The reason is that the current coach Liang Kezhen, even if he hides a strategy and leads it, it is for the sake of the entire war situation, he will inevitably be abandoned by the emperor. ”

"Because so many ministers are dissatisfied with him, the emperor must have lost confidence in him, and he will continue to use him, which will make Liang Kezhen's situation even more difficult."

"And the qualifications and fame of the seventh brother are not enough to convince the public, and the emperor is just talking, and he will never hand over such a major war to you. In addition, Cheng Bao, the envoy of Guangbei Jiedu, although he has an unworldly strategy, he does not dare to leave without permission in the face of the lion of Chu State. And he is not smiling, not good at words, and has never been liked by the emperor, so he can only be excluded. ”

"And the Praetorian Guards are all commanding Su Zhang, although the arm strength is strong, the courage of the three armies, but the strategy is still insufficient, for the general is okay, for the commander is not worthy of his position. The emperor knew him well and would never grant him the position of commander. ”

"And the other candidates, I really can't remember, I only know that those veterans who followed the emperor to conquer the city back then are already in their prime. And if Sun Decheng doesn't die, I'm afraid he will still be a very suitable candidate, but he will never have this opportunity again. ”

"I thought about it, and now the only person who can be in charge and can be of great use is Wu Xun and Wu Dashuai. In terms of age, he is in the prime of life, he is also resourceful in terms of strategy, and in terms of qualifications, as an envoy of the festival, he has also experienced many years in Guangbei on the front line of the Chu-Han border. ”

"If you want to say the most suitable person now, I think he is the only one. If nothing else, the emperor has only this choice. ”
