After going down, Fu Dingquan, the right attendant of the ministry, did not leave directly, but asked to meet Su Yan, and Su Yan happened to be fine, so he agreed to his request and ordered someone to take him to the imperial study.

After arriving at the imperial study, Fu Dingquan first saluted Su Yan, and then said, "Your Majesty, the post of deputy protector of the Mobei Metropolitan Protectorate, the minister dares to recommend one person to you."

"Oh?" Su Yan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Fu Dingquan to come to introduce candidates to him, he adjusted his sitting posture, and asked with a smile, "I'm a little curious, who can be so valued by Fu Qing."

Fu Dingquan's expression remained unchanged, and said: "Your Majesty, when the minister was an official in the southwest and was responsible for implementing the policy of changing the land and returning to the stream, Fu Xinghua, the envoy of Guizhou, has been assisting the minister, he has outstanding ability, and he also has a unique understanding of the current situation.

Hearing Fu Dingquan give such a high evaluation, Su Yan suddenly became interested, he thought about it, and said, "If I remember correctly, the Guizhou Inspectorate used to be Sun Kewang's person, and if you recommend him in front of me, aren't you afraid of being attacked by the courtiers?"

"The minister is not afraid of shadows, how can he be afraid of the gossip of others?" Fu Dingquan said with a straight face.

"Fu Qing, I like your character." Su Yan said with a smile, "Since he can be so valued by you, even if he is attacked by the courtiers, he will be introduced to me, then I will give him a chance to come."

His voice fell, and a brocade-clothed guard standing in the room stood up and knelt on the ground with fists clenched.

"Spread my will, and declare that Guizhou will enter Beijing to meet with the envoy."

"Why?" The brocade-clothed guard promised, saluted again, and then got up, holding the hilt of the knife and turned to leave.

After the brocade guard left, Su Yan looked at Fu Dingquan again and said, "Fu Qing, if this person really said so, if he has outstanding ability, I will definitely reward you."

"I beg your pardon." Fu Dingquan's face was sincere, and he said, "The minister is deeply favored by His Majesty, and he is promoted to the servant of the ministry, so he should have recommended sages for His Majesty, but this is just a move within his bounds."

"What a move." Su Yan showed appreciation, how could he not love such a virtuous minister?

……

What came to Jiangning Mansion before Guizhou's envoy was a good news from the Ayutoya Kingdom, a good news of the battle against Sun Qin.

After more than half a year, after a long period of confrontation and fighting, Sun Qin's army, which was in a stalemate with the coalition forces, was finally defeated.

The Xia army successfully circled from the upper reaches of the Yegong River to the flank of the Qin army under the strategic strategy of Liu Wenxiu, the Duke of Shu, and the attention of the Qin army was all attracted by the coalition forces that were feint head-on, so it was not until the soldiers and horses of Bai Wenxuan, the Duke of Gongguo, were killed in their flanks and rears that the Qin army finally found the Xia army that had bypassed at some point.

They wanted to object, but it was too late, the Xia army under the leadership of Bai Wenxuan launched a fierce attack on the weak rear of the Qin army, in the battle, Bai Wenxuan took the lead, riding the brown horse to rush into the Qin army's position, and killed many Qin infantry one after another, which greatly boosted the morale of his subordinates.

The Xia army then successfully penetrated the Qin army's defense line, attracting all the attention of the Qin army to the rear, and when Sun Kewang learned of this, he hurriedly dispatched the general Shi Shangli to stop it, but where was Shi Shangli's opponent of Bai Wenxuan, Bai Wenxuan saw that a large number of soldiers and horses of the Qin army were chasing, and deliberately sold a flaw to lure the Qin army to pursue, Shi Shangli fell into his trap and personally led the army to pursue, but was shot several arrows by Bai Wenxuan, shot off the horse, and the pursuing soldiers and horses brought by him were also defeated by the Xia army who turned back to attack.

It is worth mentioning that the Qin army here absorbed many local natives, who only came for money and food, and did not have the slightest loyalty to Sun Qin.

Liu Wenxiu, who was on the other side of the river, seized the opportunity in time and led the army to launch a general attack, Lu Shanbo Liu Zhenguo, his deputy general Guo Aili and Pingding Hou Linzhong and other generals all took the lead in crossing the river, and the Xia army saw that the generals were taking the lead, and their morale was boosted, and they all shouted to swim across the Yegong River, set foot on the south bank of the Yegong River, and launched a fierce offensive against the Qin army's position.

The battle lasted until late at night, and the Qin army was ultimately unable to do so

Resisting the offensive of the coalition army, Sun Kewang was unwilling to flee again, he desperately killed himself in the military tent, Prime Minister Fan Yingxu followed closely behind and pulled out his sword to kill himself, the general Wang Ziqi desperately escorted the crown prince Sun Zhengqi and the rest of the princes to break through, but in the middle of the interception of the blocking Ayutoye army, Wang Ziqi was killed by several arrows, Sun Zhengqi fell from his horse and was seriously injured and captured, and the rest of the princes also became prisoners.

In this battle, Sun Qin's army was wiped out, and all the wealth it had accumulated for several years fell into the hands of the coalition army, it is worth mentioning that the Ayuthaya army cowered when it charged, and when it saw the defeat of the Qin army, they rushed to the front one by one as if they had beaten chicken blood, and even were almost defeated by the rebellious Qin army, which is enough to show the weakness of the Ayuthaya army.

Bai Wenxuan commented on Ayuthaya's army in the military newspaper - "His soldiers are weak, their armaments are lax, and they rely on war elephants and firearms to fight in battle, and they have no courage to fight with weapons......

After the military report, the prisoners of war of the Qin army were all escorted back to Yunnan to wait for the imperial court to deal with, and those high-ranking Sun Qin were sent to Jiaozhi and went to Jiangning by sea, but unfortunately Sun Qin's prince Sun Zhengqi finally died in the military camp because of his injuries, and his younger brothers were tortured when they were returned to the Xia army, even the prince of Sun Qin was treated like this, not to mention the rest of the people who were captured by the Ayuthaya army.

In any case, those princes are Liu Wenxiu's nephews, when he saw the scars on those people, he was immediately furious, he directly took Bai Wenxuan and a few guards to break into the Ayutthaya army, in front of his generals angrily reprimanded the king of Ayuthaye, King Nalai was reprimanded in public, his face was naturally not good-looking, but he could only swallow his anger and accompany the smiling face, apologized again and again, and ordered to severely punish the prisoners.

But where would Liu Wenxiu be so easy to deal with, he actually directly ordered the army to be stationed in Phetchaburi under the pretext of searching for Sun Qin's remnants, and sent soldiers and horses to forcibly take over the remaining two cities that had been ceded to Sun Kewang, when the envoy of the king of Nalai came to inquire, he replied in a dignified manner: "These three cities have been ceded by the king of Erxian to Sun Qin's rebellion, and Sun Kewang is my Chinese people, and the territory he holds is naturally my Chinese land."

Liu Wenxiu's answer can directly make King Nalai half angry, but he can't do anything about it, you can't beat it, if you provoke the army of Shangguo, then you will destroy the country and destroy the species, but if you give in, he can't swallow this breath.

After a stalemate for a few days, it was still the palace minister of King Nalai who had an idea, he had the inherent impression that all the emperors of the Central Plains were good-looking, since the generals under him were so shameless, then he wrote a letter to the emperor to cry, and made Liu Wenxiu's behavior clear, so that the emperor would naturally order Liu Wenxiu to withdraw his troops, and the three mansions would return to their hands.

King Nalai also felt good when he heard the idea of the palace minister, and he hurriedly wrote down an emotional letter of state and sent it to Jiangning, and then disbanded Chen Bing's army on both sides of the Yegong River, just waiting for the good news from the north.

That Liu Wenxiu made it clear that he took over the three provinces of Phetchaburi and the state letter of King Nalai were delivered almost at the same time, which immediately caused another round of uproar in the court, but with the experience of some ministers before, the ministers did not immediately jump out to criticize Liu Wenxiu, but patiently observed Su Yan's reaction.

Just as they expected, Su Yan couldn't help but smile after reading the song and the national letter, he was not provoked by the national letter at all, on the contrary, he also liked Liu Wenxiu's behavior very much, which was as shameless as some Western countries in later generations, and he liked it very much.

Well, it's not that shameless behavior that people loathe, it's that the person who committed this shameless act is not themselves.

Seeing that Su Yan did not dislike Liu Wenxiu, the ministers who had not jumped out of their patience breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that they were not so impulsive, and then jumped out and proposed that the imperial court should reward the Duke of Shu for pacifying Sun Qin's rebellion, in their words, Liu Wenxiu was almost touted as the pillar of the court and the pillar of the country.

Their performance made Su Yan secretly amused in his heart, this is really like that sentence, there is something to do with the Duke of Shu, nothing to do with Liu Wenxiu, the degree of respect for Liu Wenxiu depends on the mood.

However, Su Yan still listened to their proposal, and he ordered Liu Wenxiu to be awarded the title of Shaobao, and the people who participated in the war in the army

There will also be another reward - as for the county king, don't think about it, in addition to the existing county kings, the future new county king can only be canonized from the Su family.

As for the letter of state sent by King Ayutoya, after thinking about it, Su Yan decided to hand over the task of replying to the letter to Jiang Qingyan, the first champion of the imperial examination who has been brushing up his seniority in the Hanlin Academy over the years, and ordered him to write a letter of state with stern words to deter Ayutbaya monarchs and ministers.

After Jiang Qingyan received the task, the whole person was immediately full of energy, ready to complete this task very well, he picked up the lamp and wrote the national letter overnight and handed it to the emperor to see, Su Yan looked at it, praised again and again, and then ordered the Ministry of Rites to send the national letter to the city of Ayutoya.

When King Ayutoya received this letter of state, it was already more than a month later, and he was still full of expectations that the emperor of the Central Plains would be furious and withdraw Liu Wenxiu and his damned army, but after the envoy of the Xia Dynasty stood in front of him, read out the contents of the letter in a stern tone, and reprimanded him for his clever actions, King Nalai suddenly fell in place.

Although thousands of words were written throughout the national letter, its core idea is very clear, and it can even be summed up in just one sentence - the whole world is not the king's land, and there are kings and ministers in the four seas, not to mention three small mansions, even if the Emperor of Great Xia wants your entire country, you, the king of a small country, must obediently obey orders and give them away, what dare you dare to separate the emperor and his generals?
