In February of the third year of Qianyou, the Southern Tang Dynasty appointed Cha Wenhui, the governor of the Yong'an Army, as the commander, Chen Hui, the governor of Jianzhou, as the western army, and Liu Congxiao, the governor of Quanzhou, as the southern army, and attacked Fuzhou City in two groups. Quanzhou Liu Congxiao was just a symbolic dispatch of troops and would not really act as cannon fodder for the Southern Tang Dynasty. The ones to deal with were Cha Wenhui and Chen Hui seriously.

Since Bao Xiurang eliminated Li Renda, Fuzhou City has been under the jurisdiction of Wu Yue Kingdom for more than three years. In addition to the famous general Bao Xiurang, another famous Wu Yue minister, Wu Cheng, also stationed in Fuzhou and served as the governor of the Weiwu Army. Wu Cheng's courtesy name was Zhengchen and was from Shanyin. His father Wu Zhu served as the chief secretary of the Eastern Army of Wu Yue Town, and the right-selected etiquette. Wu Cheng began to show his face on the political stage of Wu Yue Kingdom when he was Qian Liu. His situation was somewhat similar to Yuan Dezhao. Whether Qian Liu or Qian Chuanguan, he did not intend to promote Wu Cheng too early. It was not until the time of Qian Hongzuo and Qian Hongye that Wu Cheng became the prime minister of Wu Yue Kingdom.

It was slightly different from Yuan Dezhao's work. Wu Cheng, who became prime minister, was soon sent to Fuzhou by Qian Hongnei and served as the governor of the Wuwei Army, responsible for helping Bao Xiurang to stabilize the situation in Fuzhou City. It should be said that Qian Hongnei's employment this time was quite successful.

The commander of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Cha Wenhui, is a literary official, and is the same as the former coach Feng Yanlu, but Chen Hui is a famous general under the former Wang Yanzheng. He participated in domestic and foreign wars many times and had a rich practical experience. After Chen Hui defected to the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was determined to make achievements for the new leader. Therefore, he spent his spare time carefully practicing the Minjiang Navy and studying the offensive plan for Fuzhou City. Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty has given Chen Hui the opportunity to play, he naturally will not miss this opportunity.

Just as Cha Wenhui and Chen Hui were confident in preparing for the pre-war preparations to attack Fuzhou City, an astonishing news reached Jianzhou. Wu Cheng, the highest commander of Wu Yue State in Fuzhou City, was preparing to abandon the city and flee.

According to the spy report of the Southern Tang Dynasty in Fuzhou City: Wu Cheng was very afraid of the strong pressure of the Southern Tang army and was ready to lead his troops north. Now it is an excellent opportunity to recover Fuzhou City. Cha Wenhui was just a typical literati, so he naturally did not know how to use troops and could only command randomly. Feng Yanlu's disastrous defeat three years ago did not allow Cha Wenhui to learn enough lessons, and his great affinity also infected Cha Wenhui. Before carefully identifying this very attractive news and information, Cha Wenhui could not wait to ask Chen Hui to lead the navy to send troops to Fuzhou along the Minjiang River.

Chen Hui is a famous general who has experienced many battles. He also hopes to make achievements for the new leader Nan Tang. Of course, his mind is still very calm. The fat piece of Fuzhou City was seized by Wu Yue Kingdom through a lot of hardships. How could he give up easily? Although he was a little confused about this so-called good news, Chen Hui still sent troops as scheduled in accordance with the military order of the head coach Cha Wenhui.

In February, it is the spring season of the Minjiang River. The river water surged and surged, which added great danger and trouble to Chen Hui's navigation of the Southern Tang naval army. Chen Hui's critical timetable showed the style of a famous general. He personally led the naval warships downstream and successfully avoided the dangerous shoals. After sailing for a day and a night, he suddenly appeared on the Nantai River in Fuzhou.

The navy of Wu Yue in Fuzhou was caught off guard. Chen Hui did not hesitate and immediately led the Southern Tang naval army to launch a fierce water battle with Wu Yue. As a famous general of the Fujian Kingdom in the past, Chen Hui had excellent military command skills, especially at water warfare. Chen Hui took the lead in ordering the soldiers of the army who were good at swimming to sneak into the river and sank the warships of Wu Yue Kingdom. The navy of Wu Yue Kingdom was frightened, and Chen Hui immediately launched an attack.

After a fierce battle, the Southern Tang navy defeated the Wu Yue navy, and even captured the Wu Yue navy's general Ma Xianjin and Ye Ren'an alive, and forced the submission of the former Fujian general Zheng Yanhua. A few days later, the Southern Tang army led by Cha Wenhui took land and also arrived outside Fuzhou City. Two southern Tang troops encircled Fuzhou City.

The situation at this time was extremely beneficial to the Southern Tang Dynasty. If Cha Wenhui and Chen Hui could plan carefully and carefully, they might be able to solve Fuzhou. The two armies had already joined forces, so there was nothing to say. Didn’t it mean that the Wu Yue army had abandoned the city and fled, so just attack the city directly! Cha Wenhui was confident and prepared to launch an attack on Fuzhou City. Good news came again. Hundreds of soldiers from the former Fujian Kingdom came out of the city to warmly welcome Cha Wenhui.

These soldiers came to Cha Wenhui's camp and said to Cha Wenhui very respectfully and politely: "The Wu Yue army, led by Wu Cheng, has evacuated Fuzhou City. We former soldiers of the Fujian Kingdom have already controlled Fuzhou. Please lead troops into the city quickly and take charge of the overall situation of Fuzhou!" But the experienced Chen Hui saw the flaws. Since the Wu Yue army had evacuated Fuzhou City, why did the previous Wu Yue navy still be in Fuzhou City?

So, Chen Hui patiently persuaded Cha Wenhui and said, "The people of Fujian have always been cunning and changeable, so they should not be trusted. I suggest that we set up camp outside the city and make plans for the long term!" But at this time, Cha Wenhui had already been blinded by the dream of capturing Fuzhou City and could not listen to Chen Hui's persuasion at all. He scolded Chen Hui and said, "If you don't get such a good opportunity, you won't go to get it, and when will you hesitate, and if you change later, you must occupy Fuzhou City first."

Cha Wenhui stubbornly refused Chen Hui's dissuasion. What's the point of doing? War requires soldiers to be quick and seize the opportunity. If you hesitate, you will miss the opportunity. It is true that soldiers are quick, but this idiom will change its taste when Cha Wenhui comes. Since the Wu Yue army has evacuated, why bother to enter the city? Send people to figure out the situation first, and it is not too late to enter the city. Could it be that the escaped Wu Yue army can still turn back?

He had the final say in everything. Chen Hui had no choice. Under the guidance of hundreds of Fuzhou soldiers, Cha Wenhui led his troops to head towards Fuzhou City excitedly. After all, Chen Hui was smart and did not follow Cha Wenhui into the city. He finished rectifying the army and watched from afar on the Minjiang River to prevent any changes!

Cha Wenhui wanted to obtain unparalleled military achievements to capture Fuzhou City. When he was so excited, he would always lead to some kind of wrong judgment. When Cha Wenhui led his army to step into Fuzhou City, a tragedy happened. Wu Cheng and commander Pan Shenfen, who had been ambushing for a long time, led the Wu Yue army to attack from all directions and surrounded the Southern Tang army led by Cha Wenhui.

Wu Cheng had been waiting for Cha Wenhui for a long time. When the Southern Tang army was preparing for operation in Jianzhou, Wu Cheng began his plan. Although Cha Wenhui was not worth worrying, the Yong'an army in Fuzhou was strong. There were also many surrendered generals of the former Fujian Kingdom and were among them, and it was definitely not something that the isolated city of Fuzhou City could compete. Therefore, he had to use a strategy. Wu Cheng's strategy was to lure the enemy into the ambush and attack, and to deal with Cha Wenhui with low military level, Wu Cheng was confident that it would work.

But Chen Hui's navy's outbreak almost destroyed Wu Cheng's plan. Wu Cheng quickly made military adjustments based on the battlefield situation and took the initiative to send soldiers to lure Cha Wenhui.

At this time, Cha Wenhui realized that he had fallen into the Wu Yue Kingdom's plan. There was no other way, so he could only find a way to escape. Unfortunately, Cha

Wenhui was a poet who was not good at escaping, but he was captured by the Wuyue army. The Southern Tang army was defeated and more than 10,000 people were injured. Chen Hui, who was on the Minjiang River, saw this scene and wanted to rescue it, it was too late. The defeat of the Southern Tang army was decided, and Chen Hui did not need to do unnecessary casualties, so he led his navy to withdraw safely and soundly back to Jianzhou.

The second battle for Fuzhou between the Southern Tang and Wu and Yue Kingdom was not large in scale. The Southern Tang won first and then lost, and Wu and Yue lost first and then won, and neither side gained any advantage.

As the largest military power in Jiangnan, as the powerful king who once devoured the Min Kingdom, the Southern Tang was defeated by the Wu and Yue Kingdom for the second time. This shows that with the current strength of the Southern Tang, there is no absolute certainty to defeat the Wu and Yue Kingdom. Cha Wenhui was lucky. Although he became a prisoner of the Wu and Yue Kingdom, he saved his life. A prisoner exchange was held between the Wu and Yue Kingdom, and Ma Xianjin and Cha Wenhui exchanged.

Ma Xianjin was just an ordinary general in Wuyue Kingdom. He exchanged with Liu Hou Cha Wenhui, the governor of Yong'an, Southern Tang Dynasty. Wu Yue felt that it was not cost-effective. So Wu Yue gave him some chronic poison before Cha Wenhui left. It is said that it will take ten years to die, but for Cha Wenhui, who is nearly 60 years old, it doesn't matter.

In view of Chen Hui's outstanding performance in the Second Battle of Fuzhou, Li Jing decided to commend Chen Hui and appointed Chen Hui as the governor of the Yong'an Army, responsible for the military operations of the entire Yong'an Army. The second military game between the Southern Tang and Wu Yue in Fujian was over. After the military contest, both sides had a clearer understanding of their military strength.

The military strength of both sides in Fujian is relatively balanced, and no one can eat anyone. Since that is the case, then keep a peaceful state. The peace period in Fujian has begun!

For the land of Fujian, the Southern Tang and Wu Yue were both foreigners who invaded. Only Liu Congxiao was the former general of the Wang Fujian Kingdom. In terms of emotion, Liu Congxiao's Qingyuan Army could better represent Fujian. Liu Congxiao, who became the governor of the Qingyuan Army, was more energetic. Now that the territory is stable, the periphery is safe, everything is ready, and there is no need for the east wind. Liu Congxiao decided to start independent and self-government and manage the Qingyuan Army.

The separatist vassal states and governors during the Five Dynasties period, most of the people pursued the goal: to be king, rob territory, be prosperous and wealthy, and glorify their ancestors. In order to achieve their goals, they frequently engage in military wars throughout their lives, either being destroyed by others or destroying others. As for the common people's living and working in peace and well-being and having enough food and clothing, they would not consider them. They would only impose heavy taxes on the common people, bully them wantonly, and exploit them endlessly.

However, Liu Congxiao was definitely an alternative among the Jiedushis in the vassal states at that time. He was the Jiedushi of the Qingyuan Army, which was definitely not for the sake of dominance. As for the territory, Liu Congxiao was already satisfied with the current Quan and Zhangzhou states. He was not very keen on pursuing wealth and honor. As for the glory of the family and the ancestors, he had already done it as the Jiedushi.

After Wang Shenzhi's death, the common people of Quan and Zhang were deeply imposed on the rule of four foolish emperors of the Wang family, and were subject to heavy taxes and wanton oppression and war attacks. Liu Congjie, who was born in a poor family, was very concerned about the suffering of the people. He was determined to create a stable development environment for Quan and Zhangzhou and create a paradise in the chaotic times of the five generations.
