At this time, even the British Duke Zhang Lun and Cheng Guo Duke Zhu Fu, who had previously spoken for Li Huan, looked solemn.

It's not that they don't believe in Li Huan, it's really a matter of great importance. Commanding hundreds of thousands of troops and commanding thousands of troops are two different concepts.

Generally speaking, as a qualified general, he can command thousands of people. As long as he has some talent and the potential of a good general, he can also command tens of thousands of troops.

As for a truly good general, he can command more troops, but when it comes to a hundred thousand or more troops, only a general can do it.

As for Li Huan, from Zhu Fu's point of view, it is not difficult to command tens of thousands of people with Lihua's ability, but Li Huan really does not have the ability to command hundreds of thousands of troops.

After thinking about this, Zhu Fu couldn't help but glance at Yang Tinghe.

Zhu Fu took a step forward and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Yang Ge said is true. Although the general is said to be extremely talented and capable of commanding an army, he is not a qualified candidate to command an army of hundreds of thousands.

"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Fu's solemn look and didn't know that Zhu Fu was worried about Li Huan.

After all, Li Huan is also the son-in-law of Duke Cheng Guo. This battle is of great importance. If it wins, it will naturally be the prince of all generations. But if it fails, the Ming Dynasty will lose hundreds of thousands of troops. There must be one person.

Stand up and take the blame.

Then as the commander-in-chief, Li Huan would definitely be pushed out as a scapegoat by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. By then, even he, the emperor, would not be able to protect Li Huan.

Zhu Fu stood up at this time and was obviously thinking about Li Huan.

Zhu Houzhao also had some fear in his heart. Just when Yang Tinghe came forward to express his doubts about Li Huan's ability, Zhu Houzhao subconsciously felt a little dissatisfied with Yang Tinghe, thinking that Yang Tinghe was targeting Li Huan.

However, after calming down and thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao discovered the danger hidden in it.

Military and state affairs are no different than other major affairs. Now Li Huan is a mighty general and the governor of the world's troops. This is a great authority, but it also hides a great danger.

After thinking about this, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Zhu Fu and said, "I wonder if Duke Cheng has any candidates?"

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao also looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "You might as well tell me who can lead the army to fight against the Tatars."

For a moment, the entire court was silent, and no one spoke.

At the same time, Yang Yiqing, who was heading towards Qingyang Mansion according to Li Huan's order, was talking in a low voice with several generals around him.

Because of the imperial court's reward, Li Wuzheng, who had been promoted from a guerrilla general to a general, said to Yang Yiqing with a smile on his face: "My Lord Governor, I am afraid that this mighty general will be famous all over the world."

When Yang Yiqing heard this, he glanced at Li Wu lightly and said, "Why did General Li Shen say this?"

Li Wu chuckled and said: "To face the Tatars this time, the mighty general has mobilized more than 200,000 soldiers and horses. If we add the civilians, there will be 300,000 people. Such a large number of soldiers and horses,

Even if we look at the past hundreds of years of our Ming Dynasty, troops and horses of this scale are very rare, and the most recent one can be traced back to the Battle of Tumu Fort."

Speaking of Li Wudao: "A mighty general can command hundreds of thousands of troops, but if he can win this battle, he will not be famous in the world."

Yang Yiqing sighed softly, glanced at Li Wu and said, "That's what I said, but General Li Shen, have you ever thought about the mobilization of troops and horses on such a scale, how can anyone be able to mobilize them at will, like an arm and a leg?"

The smile on Li Wu's face froze for an instant. After all, he was also a veteran in the army. He climbed up step by step from the bottom, so he was certainly not a fool.

Just like him, giving him 10,000 soldiers and horses is already his limit. If there are more, I am afraid there will be problems in scheduling.

Now that Li Huan has to take charge of hundreds of thousands of troops, can Li Huan sort out these hundreds of thousands of troops and mobilize them like an arm?

Seeing Li Wu's reaction in his eyes, Yang Yiqing's eyes also showed a bit of solemnity, and he looked towards the direction of the capital.

Li Wu came back to his senses and couldn't help but said with some urgency: "Sir, the mighty general..."

As if he knew what Li Wu wanted to say, Yang Yiqing stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, General Li has already considered this matter. I'm afraid the memorial has already been presented to the emperor by now."

Smiling slightly, Yang Yiqing said: "The princes in the court will always have a solution."

When Li Wu, Yang Yiqing and others were discussing this matter, Li Huan also smiled at Chen Ang, Xu Ying, Ren Ping and said: "Not everyone can command hundreds of thousands of troops like the King of Zhongshan, but Li can dispatch

There are not hundreds of thousands of troops, so Li specially recommended a person to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty orders this person to command the army, he may be able to command these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses."

Hearing what Li Huan said, Chen Ang, Xu Ying, and Ren Ping couldn't help but have a look of surprise in their eyes, and they all looked at Li Huan with disbelief.

They are also generals in the army. Naturally, they know that military masters such as Sun, Bai, Han, Li, and Yue are rare in almost a hundred years. Among the many generals in the Ming Dynasty, only Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan at the beginning of the founding of the country, commanded dozens of troops.

The power of everything.

They were also secretly worried that an army of hundreds of thousands was both a good thing and a bad thing. If they could not fully utilize the power of so many soldiers and horses, then what would be the use of having a large number of soldiers and horses.

But looking at the Ming Dynasty, it seems that no general has the ability to command so many soldiers and horses.

Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, is known as a general and a prime minister, but his ability to command tens of thousands of troops is already at his limit. Hundreds of thousands of troops are probably beyond his power.

However, now Li Huan actually said that he would recommend a person to the emperor, and according to Li Huan's wishes, if the other person came, he might be able to command hundreds of thousands of troops.

When did the Ming Dynasty have such a person? A few of them even went through the names of many generals in the Ming Dynasty in their minds one by one. In the end, they discovered that at least among the many generals they knew, there was no one.

Have such ability.

Looking at Li Huan, Chen Ang, Ren Ping, Xu Ying and others, they said with some eagerness in their eyes: "General, I wonder who this person is, that he can be so respected by the general."

Li Huan glanced at several people with a smile and said: "This person is none other than..."

Capital

Above the great court meeting

There was silence in the civil and military affairs of the court. All the officials looked at each other in shock. Look at me, look at you. The emperor actually asked them to recommend someone to lead an army of hundreds of thousands.

This left many people at a loss as to how to speak.

You must know that this candidate cannot be recommended casually. Once recommended, he will be jointly and severally liable at that time. Besides, looking at the civil and military forces of North Korea and China, it seems that no one has such ability.

Zhu Houzhao frowned and glanced at everyone.

At this moment, Qiu Ju appeared quietly and held a secret memorial in his hand. He walked to the emperor's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, this is the urgent memorial of Brother Li Huan."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He glanced at Qiu Ju and his eyes fell on the secret music.

Nodding slightly, Zhu Houzhao slowly opened the secret letter after taking it.

Qiu Ju quietly stepped aside, and Zhu Houzhao and Qiu Ju's little moves were naturally not concealed from everyone. Many people looked at the secret music in the emperor's hand with some surprise.

Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang seemed quite calm, but they also had curiosity in their hearts. Ordinarily, under such circumstances, ordinary things would not disturb Zhu Houzhao, who was holding a court meeting.

Since Qiu Ju presented the secret memorial to Zhu Houzhao, it can only mean that the secret memorial must be very important. He just doesn't know what the secret memorial is.

When Zhu Houzhao opened the secret music presented by Li Huan, his eyes fell on the secret music, and soon a trace of astonishment flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes.

The content of this secret report was beyond Zhu Houzhao's expectation. It was actually Li Huan who took the initiative to mention that he was not capable of commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, so he specifically recommended a person to him, the emperor, and begged the emperor to allow this person to go and command the army.

Zhu Houzhao was not surprised that Li Huan believed that he could not command hundreds of thousands of troops. After all, Zhu Houzhao did not think that Li Huan was capable of commanding so many troops at the moment, but the person recommended by Li Huan seemed to Zhu Houzhao.

Even more unreliable.

As for Li Huan, he led thousands of troops into the grassland and massacred the Huli tribe and the Heihe tribe. Not long ago, he led tens of thousands of fine cavalry to quell the Anhua Wan rebellion, and also annihilated the Suder tribe.

Thousands of people and horses.

But the person Li Huan recommended was completely beyond Zhu Houzhao's expectations. Even Zhu Houzhao never expected that Li Huan would recommend this person.

Zhu Houzhao subconsciously looked at that person, and among the officials, it seemed that they sensed Zhu Houzhao's gaze. The man looked at Zhu Houzhao subconsciously, and the emperor and his ministers looked at each other.

Looking at the secret note in his hand and then at the other party, Zhu Houzhao always felt that Li Huan's recommendation was a bit hasty.

At this moment, Yang Tinghe's eyes fell on the secret report in Zhu Houzhao's hand and said: "Your Majesty, is there anything important?"

The elders and many important ministers also looked at the secret memorial in Zhu Houzhao's hand.

Zhu Houzhao coughed slightly, his heart moved, he glanced at the crowd and said, "This is Li Qing's Eight Hundred Miles Urgent Play."

Among the ministers, Wang Yangming, the veteran of the cabinet, couldn't help but said: "The general is urgent, it can't be that the Tatars have done something strange."

Wang Yangming's words almost represented the aspirations of all the officials, and everyone looked at Zhu Houzhao worriedly.

Zhu Houzhao shook his head slightly and said: "Li Qing's urgent report is not about the Tatars, but because Li Qing believed that he was not capable of commanding an army of hundreds of thousands, so he specially reported to the court, hoping that I could select someone to command the army.

To prepare for the upcoming war with the Tatars."

Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, British Duke Zhang Lun, Cheng Guo Duke Zhu Fu, and some officials who chose to seek refuge with Li Huan all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With such a memorial, even if something goes wrong in the future war, it can at least stop the mouths of some people in the court, and prevent the civil and military officials of the court from adding insult to injury to Li Huan.

Some officials who were very unhappy with Li Huan whispered with a bit of disdain: "Li Huan actually has some self-awareness."

"He was really given an advantage. Without such a memorial, any consequences would have been borne by him alone."

"It's a pity, it's a pity that he escaped death."

Not mentioning what these officials were thinking, Li Dongyang stroked his beard and said: "It seems that the mighty general is also aware of his own shortcomings, but I wonder if the mighty general has any suggestions?"

A minister from the Ministry of War said calmly: "What advice can Taifu Li have? It is true that our Ming Dynasty has many generals, but how many of them dare to say that they can command hundreds of thousands of troops?"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but show hesitation on his face when he thought of the person recommended by Li Huan in the secret report.

Noticing Zhu Houzhao's expression, Yang Tinghe thought with a thought: "Your Majesty is hesitant. Is there really any candidate for the mighty general?"

At this time, all the civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar. All eyes fell on Zhu Houzhao, secretly wondering in their hearts, could Li Huan really have someone, but who would Li Huan recommend?

For a while, many people had some expectations in their hearts, but most of them wanted to see Li Huan's jokes. They wanted to see who Li Huan would recommend.

It would be best if the emperor could agree to Li Huan's recommendation and send that person to lead the army. If the troops are not used at that time, then at least Li Huan will be held accountable for not knowing the person well and failing to recommend him well.

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, and suddenly his eyes fell on Wang Yangming and said: "Wang Shouren, the mighty general recommended you to me as the commander-in-chief of the three armies and in charge of the army. I don't know what you want!"

"What! It's Mr. Wang Ge..."

"It's a joke, it's a joke. Mr. Wang Ge is indeed not bad, but he is just a civil servant. How can he have the ability to command hundreds of thousands of troops?"

An old minister shook his head repeatedly and said: "It's really ridiculous. If Mr. Wangge can command hundreds of thousands of troops, then I dare to compare myself to Han Xin and Li Jing."
