Wang Yanzheng then took Pan Chengyou to his camp and served as the judge of the Duzhi branch of Jianzhou. Under the excavation of Wang Yanzheng, Pan Chengyou stepped onto a wonderful stage and began to be watched and familiar with everyone.

During the founding period of the State of Min, there was a very strange phenomenon. There were very few well-known generals. The main ones who often fought on the battlefield were the three brothers of Wang Chao and the members of the family. Generals from other surnames had almost no chance of showing their performance in the early days of Min.

However, as the Fujian Kingdom gradually declined and perished, the famous generals of the Fujian Kingdom sprung up like mushrooms after a rain and emerged one after another. Jianzhou has always been a place where the Fujian Kingdom produced elite soldiers and powerful generals. During the period when Wang Yanbing was in power in Jianzhou, the Jianzhou army showed its strong combat power and dominated the first bloody coup of the Fujian Kingdom.

After Wang Yanzheng took charge of Jianzhou, he began to excavate and promote military talents in Jianzhou. Many local heroes in Jianzhou were recognized by Wang Yanzheng and were included in the Jianzhou army. Chen Hui was from Jian'an and was said to have walked after several months of birth. His father thought it was strange and gave him the nickname A Tie. After becoming an adult, Chen Hui was agile and brave, and was known as the Jianzhou warrior. So he was promoted by Wang Yanzheng to the head of the Zhanzhaodu, and was known as Chen Tie.

Lin Renzhao was from Jianyang, with a strong and courageous body, six feet long and a magnificent appearance. He also likes tattoos and has the shape of a tiger tattoo on his body. Lin Renzhao served as a deputy general in Wang Yanzheng's army. He was brave in fighting and was as famous as Chen Hui in the army, and he was called "Lin Huzi".

The glorious period of Chen Hui and Lin Renzhao was mainly after the demise of the Fujian Kingdom. But it is undeniable that without Wang Yanzheng's excavation and promotion, they might have been buried in the sea of ​​people. Especially Lin Renzhao, known as the No. 1 general in the South during the Five Dynasties, his military career was shown on another stage more than 20 years later.

In addition to Chen Hui, two powerful generals, Lin Renzhao, such as Meng Jian, Chen Wang, and Wu Chengyi, were not as famous as Chen Hui and Lin Renzhao, but they were also brave and good at fighting, and were Wang Yanzheng's capable generals.

During the nine years of his tenure in Jianzhou, Wang Yanzheng had firmly laid a solid foundation in Jianzhou and carefully cultivated his own army. Jianzhou became the second strong military force in Fujian, besides Fuzhou. The rise of military power certainly made Wang Yanzheng qualified to express his own opinions on the government affairs of Fujian.

Wang Yanxi's performance after his elder brother Wang Yanxi ascended the throne made Wang Yanzheng very dissatisfied. He was arrogant, tyrannical, suspicious of the royal family, and searched for old grudges. He was not a qualified leader at all! Wang Yanzheng often wrote letters to advise his elder brother, hoping that his elder brother could correct his shortcomings and become a wise monarch.

Originally, Wang Yanzheng's letter of advice should be a good thing for Wang Yanxi. At least someone is around to urge him to correct his mistakes and encourage him without any mistakes. But Wang Yanxi didn't think so. His suspicion was very serious and he could not listen to any good words. Any advice from Wang Yanzheng was regarded by Wang Yanxi as a serious provocation to his imperial power. Therefore, the relationship between Wang Yanxi and Wang Yanzheng deteriorated sharply.

In Wang Yanxi's view, the reason why the brothers Wang Yanhan, Wang Yanjun and nephew Wang Jipeng became short-lived emperors who died in despair was mainly because they did not completely eliminate the threatening members of the royal family. They must kill all the brothers and nephews who might threaten their throne in order to protect their Fujian country forever.

In the first month of the second year of Yonglong, Wang Yanxi decided to take action first and attack his younger brother Wang Yanzheng. Wang Yanzheng had very strong strength in Jianzhou, not Wang

Yanxi could solve the problem by just talking. So Wang Yanxi decided to send his confidant to monitor Wang Yanzheng.

On the one hand, Wang Yanxi set up the Nanzhen Army in Nanping, the junction of Jianzhou and Fuzhou. Du Chonghan, a close coach, stationed troops in Nanzhen, monitored the movements of the Jianzhou army and guarded the major transportation routes for Jianzhou to march into Fuzhou. On the other hand, Wang Yanxi sent his close friend Yeqiao to Jianzhou City as a military supervisor to monitor Wang Yanzheng's every move.

Du Chonghan and Ye Qiao were both flattering and pretending to be powerful. Relying on the support of Emperor Wang Yanxi, they worked hard to collect Wang Yanzheng's misdeeds, and constantly reported to Wang Yanxi's words and deeds, which led to the increasingly intensified conflict between Wang Yanzheng and Wang Yanxi's brothers.

Wang Yanzheng looked down on the so-called military supervisor Ye Qiao, who was arrogant and arrogant. Moreover, the military supervisor Ye Qiao was sneaking around in Jianzhou City and investigating information. Wang Yanzheng was very annoyed.

One day, Wang Yanzheng and Ye Qiao were inconsistent during the discussion and had a conflict. Ye Qiao regarded himself as the emperor's supervisor and scolded Wang Yanzheng arrogantly and said, "Do you want to rebel?" After the words came out, it aroused a lot of waves. Wang Yanzheng's full anger towards Wang Yanxi was finally ignited by Ye Qiao. Since you said I wanted to rebel, then I'll rebel! Wang Yanzheng planned to kill Ye Qiao first, and then legitimately raise an army to make Wang Yanxi's rebellion.

Although Ye Qiao was arrogant, he was very clever. He found that something was wrong, so he secretly fled from Jianzhou, came to the Nanzhen Army, and met with Du Chonghan. Then they planned to report to Wang Yanxi the important information about Wang Yanzheng's intention to rebel.

However, Yeqiao and Du Chonghan discovered that Wang Yanzheng quickly rushed to the Nanzhen Army with the soldiers of Jianzhou! The moment he learned that Yeqiao had fled Jianzhou, Wang Yanzheng understood that the situation was irreversible, and only by raising a army quickly could he save his life! Wang Yanzheng quickly summoned the elite soldiers and generals of Jianzhou and marched towards the Nanzhen Army in a mighty manner.

Regarding war, Du Chonghan and Yeqiao were no match for Wang Yanzheng's Jianzhou Army. The powerful generals and elite soldiers of the Jianzhou Army made a little effort and defeated Du Chonghan and Yeqiao. Du Chonghan and Yeqiao fled back to Fuzhou City, and the Fujian defenders in Nanzhen all fled.

The news of the Nanzhen Army's disastrous defeat shocked Wang Yanxi. Wang Yanxi's strong combat effectiveness made Wang Yanxi very afraid. Wang Yanzheng's existence had seriously affected Wang Yanxi's position as the emperor of Fujian. Wang Yanxi must use the power of the entire Fujian Kingdom to deal with Wang Yanzheng, and must completely eliminate Wang Yanzheng and the Jianzhou Army!

In February of the second year of Yonglong, Wang Yanxi mobilized the entire army, with the commander of the army Pan Shikui and Wu Xingzhen as the main general, and led 40,000 Fujian troops to march towards Jianzhou. Pan Shikui and Wu Xingzhen quickly entered Jianzhou and then divided into two groups. Pan Shikui led his troops to the west of Jianzhou City, and Wu Xingzhen led his troops to the south of Jianzhou City. Both Fujian troops blocked the water and burned the houses outside the city, and made a gesture of siege of Jianzhou City for a long time.

Emperor Wang Yanxi was serious, and Wang Yanzheng was also a little nervous. After all, he only had one state, and Wang Yanxi still controlled the entire Fujian Kingdom. Although the generals under him were indeed powerful, they could not withstand the bombardment of Wang Yanxi's national forces. Therefore, he had to seek assistance from external forces! After a brief thought, Wang Yanzheng decided to seek assistance from his northern neighbor Wu Yue Kingdom!

In fact, there are only three neighbors in the Min Kingdom, the Wu Yue Kingdom in the north, the Southern Tang Kingdom in the west, and the Southern Han Kingdom in the south. The Southern Han Kingdom is relatively different from Jianzhou.

It is far away, and Liu Yan and the State of Min have always been in conflict with the rivers, so they probably don’t know how to deal with Wang Yanzheng’s request for help.

The Southern Tang in the west was established by Xu Zhigao, the powerful minister of the former Yang and Wu Kingdom. Among all the southern countries, the military strength is known to be the strongest. Although Wang Yanzheng had conflicts with his brother, he was not confused and was not willing to attract excessively powerful external forces. If the Southern Tang took advantage of this opportunity to occupy the nest and kill the Min Kingdom, he would become the sinner of the Min Kingdom.

Only the Wu Yue Kingdom in the north was Wang Yanzheng's ideal target for help, and his military strength was comparable. His relationship with the Fujian Kingdom has always been very friendly and easy to communicate. So Wang Yanzheng quickly sent an envoy to Wu Yue Kingdom for help. However, Wu Yue Kingdom was still a little far from Jianzhou, and there were still mountains and steep in the middle. Even if Wu Yue Kingdom agreed to send troops to provide assistance, it would probably take more than a month to arrive at Jianzhou City. Therefore, Wang Yanzheng's top priority was to actively carry out self-rescue!

Faced with Wang Yanzheng's sudden request for help, Qian Chuan fell into a brief entanglement and contradiction. It was not the first time that he sent troops to the State of Min. As early as December of the fourth year of Changxing, Wu Yue sent troops to rescue Jianzhou at the request of the State of Min. However, the situation was quite special at that time. Jiang Yanhui, the governor of the State of Xinzhou of Wu, sent troops to attack Jianzhou. Wu Yue sent troops to Jianzhou out of the morality of helping his neighbors, and finally successfully drove the Wu army out of Jianzhou.

But the situation this time is different. No external forces invaded the State of Fujian. It was purely because the brothers in Fujian were looking for trouble, fighting for power and profit, and killing each other. If they sent troops to help Wang Yanzheng, it would be equivalent to wantonly interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, and morally untenable. If they ignored Wang Yanzheng's request for help, they would lose another excellent opportunity to take advantage of the chaos in Fujian to expand territory.

Therefore, Qian Chuanguan decided to hold a court meeting to discuss how to deal with Wang Yanzheng's urgent request for help. The court meeting had a very clear view and almost one-sided momentum. The majority of officials who supported sending troops to interfere in the dispute between the brothers of Fujian were of course included Qian Chuanguan himself. The officials who opposed sending troops to Fujian were rare, and the representative figure was Lin Ding, one of the four wise ministers.

Lin Ding is not a cowardly and timid scholar, but he has unique vision and predictions about political affairs, and he speaks bluntly and dares to advise when encountering problems, and does not retreat. The brothers' battle between the next door neighbors is only a domestic conflict in Fujian after all. If he rashly sends troops to intervene, he will not be able to gain a moral foothold and will not receive much support. Moreover, he is easily trapped in the quagmire of war and cannot extricate himself, and eventually he will lose nothing. Therefore, he suggested not to rashly send troops to intervene, and wait and see before making a decision.

Lin Ding's suggestions were more reasonable and far-sighted. Qian Chuanguan under normal circumstances should be able to humbly accept Lin Ding's suggestions. However, Qian Chuanguan at this time obviously had major problems in his mental state.

A few days later, his happy life was ruthlessly broken. The wise minister Shen Song, his beloved wife Ma, and his eldest son Hong Ye died one after another. The sadness and pain in his heart are incomprehensible to ordinary people. The way of dealing with things in a state of sadness is naturally biased. Qian Chuanguan decided to turn grief into strength, ignored Lin Ding's advice, and insisted on sending troops to rescue King Yanzheng of Jianzhou.

The Wu Yue Kingdom has not seen any war for decades, and the veteran generals have all left one after another. All the founding tiger generals led by Gu Quanwu have long passed away. The other generals Tu Huanzhi died in battle, Cao Gui died in illness, Bao Junfu and Du Jianhui are both old and sick, and are useless.
