I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 357
The candidate Fu Huaichuan recommended can only be said to exceed Zhao Yuantan's expectations.

Because the sixth prince, Zhao Yuanying, was the prince's mother and brother, and was very close to the prince, but he was only eighteen years old and had a lazy and mediocre temperament.

It is not unavoidable to let him go to Shuzhong as the deputy envoy of Jiedu.
"Old Six, there must be some."

"Your Highness thinks, since the Jiannan Jiedu envoy is led by San Lang, what kind of person should the Jiedu envoy appoint?"

After hearing what Fu Huaichuan said, Zhao Yuantan fell into thought.

Originally, he recommended Qi Wang Zhao Yuanzhang as Jiannan Jiedu's deputy envoy after discussing matters in the Daming Palace, and asked the staff and staff of the Jiefu to not move, so he wanted Qi Wang to make a display.

The current candidate is just another decoration.

However, Zhao Yuanying's decoration can ensure that he is obedient, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult to have his own opinion.

But as a decoration, lack of assertiveness is not a disadvantage, and it may even be an advantage.

"In this way, Lao Liu is fine. Central Shu is a land of great wealth, and it is surrounded by four fortresses. He is naturally cut off by his temperament. Even if he stays in Central Shu for a long time, it will be fine. After all, the king of Shu will also move. Town, Shuzhong really needs a clan to sit in the town, so it is appropriate."

After thinking about his brother's temperament, and considering the special situation in Shuzhong, it is indeed a suitable candidate for him to go to Shuzhong.

After all, Yizhou is not only a rich and prosperous land in the Land of Abundance, but also the four sides where it is easiest to form a separate regime.

Daojun Emperor Zhao Lingyuan originally summoned the King of Shu to Shangjing in order to change his position, but according to the ancestral system, the King of Shu will inevitably need a clan to sit in the post after the King of Shu. According to the current situation, he must send a prince there .

If Zhao Yuanying, King of Gaoyang County, enters Shu, he will definitely be the most reassuring candidate among all the princes.

Here Fu Huaichuan continued: "In addition to the King of Gaoyang, His Highness can also select a few officials from the Eastern Palace to go to Shu together to assist the King of the County."

Zhao Yuantan nodded, "What Huai Chuan said is very lonely. Lao Liu really needs someone to assist the Prime Minister. In fact, Huaichuan has both civil and military skills. If you follow Lao Liu and take over the post of Chang Shi, it is the most suitable, but what?"

If Fu Huaichuan could enter Sichuan together with Gaoyang County King, it would be equivalent to actually governing Sichuan and Shu behind the back of some mediocre prince.

But the Fu family, Fu Jinchuan, was originally transferred back to let the British Duke Fu Maoxiu go out to take command, so why would he let the eldest son go out?

As for ability, Zhao Yuantan never doubted it at all.

Fu Huaichuan is superior in intelligence, and he was born in a general family, and his military strategy is extremely outstanding, but because he has Fu Jinchuan as a direct brother, he is too brilliant, and he himself has a tepid and calm temperament, so he is relatively unobtrusive. dew.

But ever since he joined the army as a guest of the prince and the marshal's mansion, his analysis of the battle situation and his judgment of the general situation were almost as expected.

Because he has been making suggestions behind the scenes, his reputation is not obvious.

But colleagues in the East Palace and the Marshal's Mansion, including His Royal Highness, highly respected his planning ability.

Even in just one year, he has become the prince's most important schemer in the Eastern Palace, just like Lin Changyuan.

Between the two of them, Fu Huaichuan is more familiar with the context of the noble clans in Shangjing than Lin Changyuan.

Compared with Fu Huaichuan, Lin Changyuan has a simple background and is not fettered by the forces behind him.

And Zhao Yuantan's sigh was not only lamenting that Fu Huaichuan was not suitable to enter Shu this trip, and he was in charge of Sichuan and Shu behind the scenes.

There is also the future, he was born as a military general, and in the future he will inherit the dukedom of the country, even if he has the talent of a prime minister, he will not have the opportunity to proclaim his majesty and worship the prime minister.

Even because of such an outstanding brother, there are not many opportunities to lead the army in the future.

But Fu Huaichuan didn't seem to care about these things. Instead, he said with a smile: "Mr. Liu has the talent of Wang Zuo, so it's no problem to be in charge of the government. His Highness can rest assured that the king of Shuzhong and Gaoyang County will leave it to him."

"Okay, according to what Huai Chuan said, tomorrow, I will go to my father's place to speak."

After a game of chess, Fu Huaichuan resigned and left.

Zhao Yuantan looked at the chess game alone, thoughtful.This chess game was a draw, and the two sides tried their best, but in the end there was still no winner or loser.

"It's true, you can be strong if you don't have desires."

After returning home, Fu Huaichuan went straight to the study, where Fu Maoxiu was waiting for him.

"Dalang is back?"

"Aye."

"Come on, let's take a look, the battle report just arrived."

Fu Huaichuan immediately walked to the desk, picked up the battle report that had just been delivered, and looked at it carefully.

The battle report was sent by the two Taoists in Shannan. It was originally sent directly to the palace, but after reading it, the Emperor Daojun ordered someone to send a copy to the Duke's Mansion.

After all, the British Duke has been selected as the Marshal of the Shannan Liangdao March. Even if he hasn't taken up the post yet, he still needs to be aware of it.

According to the battle report, Cheng Jintang, the governor of Xiangzhou, has led his troops to Fangzhou, and the performance of Jinzhou's officers and troops in the face of Fang Qiu's troops can be said to be vulnerable.

Cheng Jun's troops, who had confronted Zhu Lingshi in Kuizhou earlier, fought and walked, all the way north, and finally at the junction of Jinzhou and Kuizhou, the two armies converged.

After these two red lotus thieves converge, the total number is estimated to be close to 5.

And because of the long-term combat and the reduction of marches, most of the old and young were almost killed and injured, and almost all the young and old who survived.

So in fact, after the red lotus army converged, its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

As for the officers and soldiers, in fact, after several years of battle drills, they have also improved, but compared to the red lotus thief's rebirth, they have not improved much.

Even Fu Huaichuan could foresee that the Red Lotus Bandit would not be as easy to defeat as in the past in future battles, and even his tactics would undergo great changes.

"Aye, I'm afraid it will not be easy for you to go to Shannan to suppress the bandits. The Red Lotus bandit is even more difficult to deal with than it was a year ago."

Naturally, Fu Maoxiu could see clearly, but there were some things that he couldn't evade.

"Of course I understand these things, but this time His Majesty directly called my name in front of the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Li, and called Saburo back. How can I refuse? It's hard to do, but I have to go."

Fu Huaichuan said: "Actually, the situation in the two provinces in Shannan this time is more difficult than when the crown prince presided over the war last year. It's a pity that neither Hai'er nor Saburo can follow Aye around."

Fu Maoxiu laughed when he heard the words: "Hahaha, other people are worried that this descendant will not be successful. When it comes to me, I have to complain a few words. It is not good for your brothers to be too successful. You may not be at ease if you take it with you when you go out. Ah. Hahahaha. Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about your grandfather’s family, your uncles and cousins ​​are really not as good as each other. When Sanlang went to Jiannan Road, your grandfather specially asked Sanlang to take two of them with him. Well, I have to take one out this time, to give them a good reputation, don't say this in front of your mother, or you will have to get angry with me."

Fu Huaichuan responded with a smile when he heard the words.

"This family, I still have to leave it to you and your second uncle. It's just that when I go out this time, I don't know that I will come back in the year of the monkey. I enjoyed almost all the blessings when I was young in my life. Now when I am old, I start to run around."

"It's really what you, Aunt, said. You enjoy too many blessings when you are young, but you may suffer when you are old."
